We print this morning a full abstract of
the report of the German authorities on the
dynamite plot The annals of crime contain
few stories SO interesting or SO terrible.
Especially is this true in so far as the nara
tive is history of the man by whom the
plot was conceived. Thomas was in many
respects man of mystery. His true name
is unknown to the world, and, strange to
say, was not even known to his wife. His
business he kept profound secret from her,
and he spoke even to her in terms of mys-
terry He travelled to nearly every city in
Europe and crossed the Atlantic to and from
New York without so much as giving her
hint of his purposes. Yet it was plain that
he was reasonably happy in his marriage
and that he loved his wife and chill
dren. More than this he was man
of some refinement, and not even the
German police can fix upon him any associa-
tons of doubtful or disreputable kind.
With all these things in his favor it is only
too evident that for years he was medi-
tating crimes of the most terrible character
and went about the commission of them
with composure and method which mark
him as fiend To him human life was so
cheap that he was willing wantonly to sacri-
fee it that he might dishonesty acquire
few dollars Only monster could carry
such design into execution, and it is hard
to conceive how even a monster could con-
ceive it. If we look for the motives which
prompted his acts we look almost in vain.
The mid-ocean is new field for the exploits
of a new species of criminal. Most men who
live by murder are witnesses to their own
deeds. This man preferred that his death
dealing work should be done out of his sight
and in a way that the world should never
1t is only necessary to assume that
the City of Boston was destroyed by his
terrible contrivance to appreciate all the
horror of his plot for the destruction of the
explanation-the desire to be rich. This
man could not forego his ease, his comfort
and his social position, and to sustain these
he sacrificed everything. In such q man
which control ordinary men, and he must
have been utterly without moral perceptions.
Psychologists will find in his career, as it is
detailed in the HERALD to-day, new study,
but we doubt whether any analysis can ex-
plain acts which stand by themselves in
fiendishness and which will be long remem-
bered as without parallel

ssLegfslation" Again-The Centennial
Our Philadelphia correspondent has sent us
q story which gives us much pain. 1t seems
that Mr. Springer, of Illinois, during the
discussion of the bill to appropriate, o
million and half to the Centennial, offered
ON amendment which made this loan first
mortgage, or lien, upon the revenues of the
Exhibition. The purpose of the House in
passing the amendment was to secure the
governments money. 1t now turns out that
the terms of the amendment were so vague
that the government subscription becomes
second mortgage in fact, and that the stock
holders will be paid before the government
can receive dollar. General Hawley called
the attention of the Senate Committee to
this, but the matter was not agitated the
bill passed the Senate, that body having the
same impression as the House as to the
meaning. In other words, q bill that was
passed so as to mean one thing really means
another and, from what our correspondent
says, the friends of the Centennial are ex-
ulting over the manner in which the govern
ment was fooled.
If this is true then the Centennial stands
disgraced by an act of sharp practice; for
1t is this after ell, no matter how we regard
it. The fault is, ofcourse, with Mr. Springer,
who should have known the meaning of
words before he attempted to shape legisla-
ton. The same thing took place in the Pa
cifc Railway times. Then an act was passed
which Congress supposed to mean one thing,
but which, the Supreme Court decided to
mean something far different Instead Of
helping the railway, as was intended, the act
really presented the road with two hundred
millions of dollars. This is an evil of our
system. 1t is always possible for an I'M
scrupulous leader to mislead Congress.
Committees shirk their work, or, as is more
likely, they are controlled by the lobby and
made to assent to these frauds. We pass
these acts and amendments in too much
haste. 1t would be well to have committee
on the meaning of statutes" whose duty it
should be TO make clear to Congress what the
effect Of proposed measures will be. Such
tricks as this in the matter of the Centennial
appropriation bring discredit upon repre-
sentative government.

The Death OF Charlotte Cushman.

The death of Charlotte Cushman will grieve
been known for long while that she was
afflicted with an incurable disease Her
sickness compelled her to withdraw from the
stage this winter, and, after all, her dramatic
career had eliminated. Although it cannot
be said of this great actress that she Jagged
superfuous on the stage, for even in her
weakness she was stronger than the rest, in
her latter years she had lost something of her
physical force. What was once unconscious
energy had become an effort. 81 could not
play Meg Merrilies if there were one more
scene in the play" she said to manager
some time ago, and three years ago, after
playing Cardinal Wolsey one night for the
first time in ten or twelve years, at the
Walnut Street Theatre, in Philadelphia, the
fatigue she suffered required her to abandon
that role forever. For these reasons the
public which knew Miss Cushman only by her
performances in the last ten years can have
but an imperfect idea of the wonderful ex-
tent of her powers. Her versatility was al
most equal to her strength. Yet it seems
only the other night that at Booths Theatre
Lady Macbeth strobe across the stage and
washed her guilty hands in dreams of death
before one of the finest audiences ever as
sembled, and then, passing from our vision
forever, left the great tragedienne to receive
the applause of thousands. The farewell of
Miss Cushman to the New York stage was
accompanied by honors and tributes which,
apart from all theatrical display, proved how
strong she was in the estimation of the pub
lie. In the city where she began her work,
in obscurity and privation, she ended it in
triumph.
No one can fill the place which Charlotte
Cushman has left vacant in dramatic art
She was an original force on the stage, and
her genius was different from that of any
other artist in the memory of this genera
ton. Neither Ristori nor Janauschek nor
even Rachel could equal her in her own
realm Of tragedy. But her task was ended
nothing was left to be done except to repeat
conquests which fame had already recorded.
Her life was upright and honorable, useful
and brilliant, and while there may be deep
sorrow for the woman the great actress has
left nothing to regret

These arguments might have been pertinent
whom the question OF building the bridge
was under consideration, but are out of place
at this time.
A substitute was proposed for the resolu-
ton at the last meeting of the Board, in
structing the Corporation Counsel to in
quire whether any existing contracts for
work or material on the bridge are fraudu-
lent or injurious to the public interests, with
view to their annulment should such prove
to be the case. This is entirely proper.
The strictest scrutiny should be exercised
over the work. and if the Aldermen will
confine themselves to this duty their action
will meet with general approval. But it is
very questionable whether, after expanding
six million dollars on the bridge, of which
the city has furnished million and half,
it would be wise to abandon it, even If the
constitutional power of the Legislature to
do SO were not seriously in doubt.

tenn they propose an administrative council

tenn they propose an administrative council
to govern the country under this schema
This, therefore, pushes the Sultan from
his stool. 1t puts the sovereignty of the
country in a body to be directly inspired and
controlled by foreign governments. 1t is
the government Of Turkey by commission,
and between the ornamental position thus
assigned to the Sultan and his exclusion
there is only little formality. England
dislikes this project, but cannot make her
objections effective. Russia, Prussia and
Austria are in full agreement TO carry it out,
and what can Turkey do? To fight these
three Powers will hardly occur to the fancy
of the widest Mussulman of them all. If
Turkey accepts the niountaineers will be-
come tranquil and Islamism will instinc-
lively turn its face toward its native Asia. If
the Sultan endeavors TO resist his dominions
will be occupied in overwhelming force at
his own expense and ultimately taken to pay
the bills but even this will scarcely deserve
the name Of war; and this is the
least likely result of the steps already
taken There is only one contin-
gency In winch war could possibly
follow, and this would be in case the three
Powers should quarrel over the division of
the spoil; but the likelihood is that all pos
sible differences on this point have already
been deliberately weighed at Berlin and SO
definitely determined that there is not
square foot of territory in doubt between the
claimants. 1t was not an idle fancy when
Frederick the Great said that if he were King
of France not shot should be fired in
Europe without his consent. He who is
supreme at the political centre of gravity may
make his will the law to all within his reach;
and it is perhaps an advantage to Europe in
this case that the political centre of gravity
has gone from Paris to Berlin, and that there
is a man omnipotent there who in politics is
infinitely the superior of Frederick.

dams as we do with the whites and the
blacks. Educate, protect and defend them,
compel them to respect the law and earn their
bread. This idea of fencing of tracts OF rich
agricultural and mining lands for wild In
dams is blunder 1t has led to abuses OF
the darkest nature, robbery, murder, mas
sacre, war and the waste of millions Of
treasure. Let it come to an end. Let the
Indian Department be abolished. Let the
Indians be transferred to the army. Let them
be brought within the reach of civilization
and kept there. An Indian has sense. He
knows when he is hungry, and he should be
taught that the way to find bread is to work
for it. This is the common sense Of the In
dian question.

The Beecher Case from Worldly
Point OF View.

Looking at the Beecher case from
worldly point of view there are several sug-
gestive circumstances. If Christian life and
conversation mean anything it is that those
who follow the meek and lowly Jesus are to
be not merely as other men, but an example
to other men. From them we are to have the
example of honor, humility kindness, truth
telling Now, what do we learn from Ply
mouth church? Beecher believes it to be
his duty as Christian minister to fall on his
knees and humble himself before mere
man as he would before his God to pay
money to support an enemy who was seeking
to destroy him; to allow wife to transfer to
him the affection she owed to her husband
and children. Tilton, as the editor of re-
ligious newspaper, first condones his wife's
fault then accepts money from her. betrayer,
and, when there is no more money, precipi-

A resolution favoring the repeal of all
laws relating to the Brooklyn Bridge has
been for two weeks under discussion in the
Board of Aldermen. The proposition en-
braced in the resolution is to abandon the
construction and to suffer the loss Of the
money already expended on the work. The
city of New York has contributed one mill
ion five hundred thousand dollars of
this amount, which reaches nearly six
million dollars. In addition to this sum
the city, in the event of the repeal asked for
by the Aldermanic resolution, will be liable
for its proportion Of all indebtedness now
outstanding, and would be involved in law
suits growing out of existing contracts. The
abandonment of the work is asked for on the
ground that the bridge, If built, would be an
injury TO real estate in New York. and would

LAMAR's BLUNDKR-Mr Lamar tries to ex-
plain why it is that while three democrats
from Ohio are on the caucus committee not
one could be found in New York Mr. Hew-
lit, he says, would not serve, and then it was
thought best to take a member from New
England. But why not New York and New
England as well? They are in wealth, popu-
lation, enterprise and mental force the two
most important sections of the country. We
do not believe in sectionalism, but we do
not choose to submit to it. And thus far the
democrats in the House have not shown New
York and New England the least considera-
tien. With two or three exceptions the prin-
cipal House committees were thrown West
and South. Mr.. Cox has been chosen tenn
porary Speaker but Mr.. Cox is carpet
Dagger, who once represented Ohio in Con-
gress, and always acts with the West when
occasion serves. He elected Mr.. Kerr, and
he may be counted as Western man all the
time. If there were no good democrats in
New England or New York there would be no
reason for complaint. On the contrary, the
ablest members Of that party are in these
two sections. These invidious distinctions
are pernicious, and will do the party harm.
But for New York and New England there
would be no Union to-day, and they should
be allowed some voice in ruling the country
they preserved.

SMART POLICEMEN. The Yonkers police
are evidently not accustomed to exciting
work, and even when they have full informa-
ton of burglary are not competent to cap
ture couple of wretched thieves without
laundering The fact that the store of
esquire" Sullivan, at East Irvington, was TO
be entered on Thursday night was known,
and detective, who was in the confidence
of the thieves, was employed to accompany
them The police surrounded the house. The
robbery was seen in progress. Yet, instead of
half dozen policemen easily capturing two
burglars, they permitted the detective.
Rugg, to be shot and instantly killed, it is
supposed by the proprietor of the store, and
one of them then made the mistake of beat
ing Sullivan over the head with his club.
All of this trouble should have been
avoided. 1t was an easy job; the burglars
were betrayed and ought to have been taken
without the slightest difficulty. Instead of
that the only persons who were injured or
killed were those who were innocent The
only wonder is that the awkward policemen
did not slay each other
