MISPLACED SYMPATHY.

Some kind-hearted people, we perceive,
have been arguing in favor not only OF the
woman Garrabrant's escape from the galows,
but of committing her term of imprisonment
to a very limited period. Her youth and
pretty face, and the caressing term OF Libble
which the public use to her, Is ar
gument enough with tender-hearted rea-
soners that the laxest and most
lenient treatment is all that is needed
to restore her to virtue and usefulness
Hanging would be now, as it is always, III
our view, the most unchristian and illogical
act of a Christian society to any of its mem
bers. But opposition to hanging should only
stimulate common sense. Because we refrain
from choking guilty wretches like dogs, we do
find it necessary to make them the subjects
of tender sympathes and turgid pathoS such
as we never give to the hard-wOrhng me-
chanic or labOrer.
The plain fact about this woman Garrabrant
is that she is, both physically and morally in
curably unsound. Whether her condition is
due to birth or disease is question for pbySi-
ologsts but We doubt if she possesses any
moral perceptions, save enough for the grace
of God to work upon. 1t is right and proper,
doubtless, that such an effort should be made
But in the meantime society should protect
itself from her and her like. The poor girls
life was simply that of an animal when she
was free 1t will be that of a comfortable ami
nal with the chance of reform in confinement
(unless she happen, indeed, to fall into the
Connecticut State PRISON.. If she were lber-
ated tomorrow, no reason has been offered
why she should not go on strangling men with
each new lover, or as often as a set of cham
her furniture offered a sufficient inducement.

The defense in the Stokes case began yester-
day with an effort to break the force of the
evidence for the prosecution to show that
Stokes had followed Fisk and laid in wait for
him at the Grand Central Hotel. If the effort
had been completed as it was begun, and az
the defense claim they can conclude it, 1T would
have been very effective, but unhappily the
witness who was to have forged the last
link In the chain was absent. He may still be
produced, but not with the effect that would
have followed had his testimony been de-
livered yesterday in the proper chronological
order. As it was, the testimony very clearly
showed that Stokes was followed, in the mat
ter of time at least, by Fisk rather than Uics
UerSd, as charged, and the original evidence
of those who saw the murderer pass the Erie
house and land at the Grand Central has little
force left. Before finishing the testimony on
this point the defense was compelled to 90 Oh
to show what took place on the stairway.
Whether it has any other testimony on this
point than that of Stokes himself, remains 10
be seen. Nothing more was done yesterday
than to impeach the evidence of one OF the
boys who swOre he saw the shooting.

An awkward question is asked by The Christian
IntelligencT. In speaking of the efforts Of youns
women to enter colleges which were founded foi
young men, The InteIAgeneer inquiries: What would
be said it, next Fall, a dozen half-grOwn boys OF
youths should demand admission to the splendid ad-
vantages of VaSsar College, of the Packer lnsi'
tutef Why mott Have they not some advantages
which young men cannot get at their coIlegesi
Why not make some provision In them for both
sexesf" All this discussion, however, concerns what
is temporary and has nothing TO do with real col
legiate education Of the sexes That point is thing
apart But while the old seminares closed against
young women we think that it is time wasted to
keep up constant application for repeal OF the
rule of exclusion II girl cannot obtain admission
to Dartmouth Amherst, Yale, why not 60 to
Vassarf We believe that it is excellent college
with comprehensive course, and all the advantages
of an amply sufficient endowment; and there are
other institutions like it, in essential par.
ticulars if not so nchly endowed. There are
besides several excellent colleges for young men
which have agreed to receive young women on pre-.
cisely the same terms and, strange to say, can get
scarcely no young women TO accept the offer Why
not 90 theref If the colleges which have made the
innovation could show some good results of 1t, the
others would be much more likely to initiate theu
example, Success either there In such institutions
as Vassar must do great deal toward modifying tie
laws of all the older universities; but what we es

The Boston Courier, like stern and just mentor
lectures its fellowctizens upon their sensityenes
to criticism. 1t cannot be that the Bostonans are
thin-skinned'-so begins The Courier; but it fndi
in the press of that city "a disposition to laud
everything about the Jubilee) or to say nothing
when the performance has been bad enough tc
awaken the reporters conscience" The Courier doe,
not see why anything should be praised for the
express reason that it takes place in Boston,
Finally, The Courier makes this assertion "Pedling
toniansm has lacked for adherents in oui

this journal leads us to suppose either that it is ex

And now it turns out that Mr.. Davis Hatch, whom
Baez and Babcock kept imprisoned in Santo Do
mingo for fear, they said, ho would oppose the
annexation project. and at whose release President
Grant was much displeased was not an opponent
of annexation at all, but the contrary did all he
could to make it popular with the Dominicans.
Why then was he kept in jail There Is mystery
about this ease which needs to be cleared up. aud
the suspicion naturally arises that he knew too
much of the specuatons of the Santo Domingo
Ring to be left at large.

few weeks ago the denomination organs
were convinced that the most ludicrous fea-
ture of the whole farce enacted at Cincinnati
was the apparent belief that the Cincinnati
ticket could by any possibility be accepted
at Baltimore. Now, these same men are all de-
claring that they always knew it was going
to be accepted at Baltimore, and that this Is
precisely what they have all along wanted
Like certain unlucky commanders during the
late war, they have not been defeated at ALL
they have merely succeeded in getting the

As has been frequently said by THE TRIBUNE,
the time selected for making the late Labor
strike was somewhat inoppOrtune. The dull
season of the year was coming on, and po-
litical canvass, which always depresses trade,
was opening. The result has justified our ap-
prehensions, for the strike has come to an un-
profitable end. Those trades which so easily
succeeded that their cause seemed the more

PROPOSED UNITED STATES NATIONAL BANK.
According to circular now going the rounds or
the banks throughout country 1t appears that at

idence. New London, Albany, Troy, Utica, Syracuse
Rochester, Buffalo. Cleveland, Louisville, Balti.
more New York ana other places, general discus
sion was had, the result Of which was the adoption
Of resolutions covering the following points,
First-That q bank should be organized in this
city, with capital OF not less than 100000 with
United States National Bank"
Second-That the STOCK should be offered to the
bankers and representatives OF the national banks
throughout the country and that bankers and per-
Interested IN such national banAs should have
an opportunity to subscribe such sums as they
might desire.
The benefit OF such an institution is not readily
perceived, ana Congress ought not rashly TO grant
the privilege which the organizers claim Is as good
secured. New York city does not need, as yet, any
expansion OF her Dan King facilities The proposed
bank would only serve to consolidate the already
dangerous monopoly now enjoyed by the national
banks. We had one United States Bank and 1t
brought Oh the greatest panic the country has ever
experienced. This second one would be q lever
to control the money market all over tho coun-
try and, IN the hands OF a speculative clique,
would derange trade If not invite disaster and
panic. What the country banks ought to mite to
DO Is to establish Clearing House in this city for
the redemption Of their notes when they collect
here In TOO much abundance, as happens once or
twice In the dull season or the year. For this all
they need Is q simple agency, and not vast bank,
with the extraordinary powers its composition
would give 1t. Treasurer Spinner, in his report TO
Congress, recommended such Clearing House,
and the proposition ought to be the subject OF law
without delay.
