Tho Simmons Sentence and Judge
Brady's Remarks.
The sentence pronounced upon Simmons
by Judge Brady yesterday will meet the
approval of the community. The verdict Of
manslaughter in the third degree, rendered
by the jury, was justified by the evidence.
In announcing the sentence of three years
and six months Judge Brady said:-"In
my Judgment the punishment for man

think the Legislature, in considering what
should be the punishment, have regarded the
infrmities of our nature rather than the value
of life when they invested discretion in the
Judge to punish from two to four years" No
better proof of the insuh6ciency of the punish
ment could be supplied than in the circum-
stances attending this case. The man who met
his death and the man who killed him were en-
gagged in an Illegal pursuit Their business
was to defraud and rob the public, and, as q
natural thing they defrauded and robbed each
other. Thieves in fact, as much as the pocket

The SPANISH WAR.-The famous Moriones,
who for the last six months has been over
throwing and annihilating the Carlists on
paper, has again run away. He advanced to
the relief of Bilbao, but when he got near the
city his usual discretion overcame him, so he
beat hasty retreat, leaving the town to take
care of ITSELF The reason alleged is that there
were too many Carlists to make an attempt to
relieve the town pleasant undertaking. The
besieged finding themselves abandoned sent
deputation to negotiate capitulation. Should
the town fall it will be a most signal victory
for the Carlists and will enable them to obtain
supplies to carry on the war for an indefinite
period.

better than any one else to what an unlocked

throw of the French armies was in great
part due. Like the cool, sensible soldier that
he has proved himself, he warns his country

he sees clearly that the curtain only fell on
the first act of the great international drama
at Paris, and is naturally anxious that the
second act may not close at Berlin. The
French press is commenting on the gravity
of the situation. Won Moltke's warning to
his own countrymen will also arouse France
to the necessity of making greater efforts to

The Exposure OF Charitable Frauds.
II is the experience of old police officers
that criminals frequently supply the clew TO
the evidence Of their guilt by their anxiety to
say too much on their own behalf. This Is 80
well established fact thit expert detectives
always endeavor to lead suspected parties to
talk about themselves and their innocence, in
the full expectation that casual remark,
sometimes no more than word, may lead to
important developments proving their guilt
Brace and Barnard committed blunder SINH
lar to that so common with violators of the
law when they thrust themselves forward as
the regularly established" dispensers of
other peoples bounties, and uttered pious
lamentations over the "demoralizing" effect
OF giving free meal to starving human
being and free lodging to homeless
wanderer. They drew attention to their own
institutions and the manner in which they are
managed, and thus were themselves instru-
mental in bringing to light the fact that the
larger part of the money which passes through
their experienced hands goes to the benefit of
the institutions and their officers and the
smaller portion to the relief of the poor. They
might have gone on for years enriching them
selves, doing out miserable pittance to the
unfortunate beings who apply to them for aid,
and satisfying managerial stupidity with illus
trated reports and records filed with anec-
dotes selected from. q ssFirst Reader" if
they had only held heir tongues and allowed
people to relieve tn -tarving poor, in this
season of extreme Distress in their own
way. As it u.s. they have broken the shell of
bogus charity and exposed the unsavory ma
ture of its contents.
Alter all, Messrs Brace and Barnard have
unwittingly done good thing, just as the
self-convicted rogue does good thing for the
ends of justice when he becomes his own
accuser. They have opened the eyes of the
people to glazing evil-the instruction Of
funds given by the charitable for the aid of
the suffering poor. Already we have exposures
of startling character of the manner in which
our charity funds are abused, and we have not
yet reached the whole truth. The Commission
Of Charities and Correction appears to require
very thorough overhauling, for there is suf-
ficient evidence to justify the suspicion that
it is rotten with fraud and iniqtity.
Some of our charitable institutions
refuse to furnish list of the
salaries they pay, or to account
in detail for their expenditures. The
Children's Aid Society and the Five Points
House of Refuge are shown to be institutions
to which no one should contribute who does
not desire that more than half his donation
shall go into the pockets of professional

BRITISH Troops FOR CANADA-Private in
formation, from reliable sources in London,
has been received in Quebec to the effect that
three regiments of the line are to be for.
warded to Canada, one of them to be stationed
in Quebec. This looks like reaction. Eos
some time past the Canadians have been al
lowed to manage their own affairs, and British
troops have been deemed unnecessary. We
are not aware of any special reason for this
new departure. There are no evidences that
the New Dominion people are failing in the
matter of loyalty to the mother country.
they were disposed to be disloyal three Brit
ish regiments would make but poor show.
As yet the report lacks confirmation. 1t may
be but an idle rumor. If it turns out to b
correct it may be regarded as the first mani
festation of the vigorous foreign policy
which Mr.. Disraeli desiderated in the late adj
ministration. How such foreign policy.
80 far as it affects them, will be liked by tho
Canadians remains TO be seen.

The Irish members of Parliament are about

of the home rulers, as the rep

is due to the existence of an English law ex-

Aho SoAsso On Banking and Cur

Exhausted by another rambling and tedious
debate of several hours yesterday ON the gen.
eral questions of banking and currency. the
Senate came to vote on Cameron's PROPOSE
ton to instruct the Finance Committee to re-
port bill providing for unlimited free bank
ing, and the proposition was rejected twenty
six to thirty two-Hfteen Senators being absent
or paired of. The proposition in modified
form was next submitted and rejected Again,
under another modification, it was presented.
and the vote being taken en- masse and by
voice, was declared by the Chair as carried.
A reconsideration was demanded, the DEB ate
was reopened and continued to the adjourn
ment. The free bankers, however, are evil

the Senate is to avoid the dangers of imitation.
1t has been the leading idea throughout the
whole discussion. It has entered into the
argument on all sides-for free banking, for
more currency, no less than for contraction
and specie payments. From present indica-

paper money can be carried this session. It
is the bill of the House committee with

Western conservatives have defeated un-
limited free banking in the Senate and they
hold the balance of power. Sherman's bill
will doubtless be recommitted, but whether
with or without instructions will probably be
determined to-day. When he reports again
we shall have another heightened debate but
no results in legislation, most likely, for many
weeks to come.

The Theatres and tho Poor.

Mr. Days charity performance at the
Grand Opera House yesterday realized nearly
two thousand three hundred dollars for the
destitute. 1t gladdens US to note that
the suggestion we made to the theatrical
managers of the city-that they should give
general benefit with the object Of relieving
the poor-is about to be acted on by the two
most prominent and popular of our theatrical
managers. With Mr.. Wallack and Mr.. Daily
at the head of the undertaking, brilliant
success is assured. 1t reflects credit on both
these gentlemen that they should have stepped
forward at once to urge on the good work
and encourage others by their example. Mr..
Wallack writes to us :-'1 wish you to know
that have not been unmindful of the terrible
distress prevailing, and have been for some
time thinking over the best kind of entertain
ment to organize when Mr. Days is over. He
has very kindly expressed his willingness to
cooperate with me in any way, so that we
ought to produce something exceptionally
attractive, and no pains shall be spared to
make it so.' We are much pleased to see Mr..
Wallack and Mr.. DAILY cooperating in the
work of charity, and we trust the example
will not be lost on the other theatrical man.
ayers. They owe it to themselves and to their
popularity not to let slip the opportunity of
aiding their suffering fellow citizens. There
is something peculiarly appropriate in actors
and managers coming to the aid of the poor
in moments Of distress, and charity sermons
preached in acts from the stage have a great
influence in making actors and theatres popu-
lar. If the managers will take action
promptly and energetically in this matter they
can be the means of doing much good If
they will only initiate the worthy example set
them by Mr.. Wallack and Mr.. Daily they can
count on the most generous support from the
public. The approach Of Washington's Birth
day gives them an opportunity of making
their appeal at time when every heart will
be opened to noble impulses and we trust
they will not let the opportunity pass without
doing their best to relieve the suffering Door.
The PRAYER OF SOUTH CARoL1NA.-In
another column will be found document that
will call up blush of shame to the face of
every decent citizen of these United States. It
is the appeal of large section of the citizens
of the State of South Carolina to the
Congress Of the United States for
protection from the men who have
seized on the government of the State
and who by the aid of the ignorant freedmen
rob the property owners under cover of law.
The prayer for protection is a temperate doc
ument, and the statement of the condition of
the State under carpet-bag rule is as free from
passion as such document could be. In
proof of the robbery and misgovern-
ment existing the startling statement
is made, supported by figures, that the cost OF
printing for period of sixty years, from 1900
to 1859, was $271, $50, under the old State
government; while the outlay last year, under
carpet-bag rule, amounted to 1891, 945-a
pretty considerable steal for one year. Yet
the republican party pirates of honesty.
