The Murderer Graham 49, Proposal to
Hang n Witness.

A good deal Of surprise was occasioned by
arcmark Of Prosecutor JENKINS in his closing
argument against BENJAMIN HUNTER, re-
Gently found guilty of murder in the first
degree, at Camden, New Jersey, touching
the fate overhanging GRAHAM, the principal
witness on whose testimony HUNTER was
COW cted
1t will be recollected that when BENJAMIN
HUNTER was first arrested although the
circumstantial evidence against him seemed
pretty strong. his extreme Philadel-
phian responsibility was well nigh Of sulli-
cient weight to overcome it. Then one
THOMAS GRAHAM, a man in humble crcum-
stances, who had hitherto stoutly denied
all knowledge Of the crime, made full con-
fession, duplicating HUNTER as n principal.
GRAHAM was poor and HUNTER had hired
him TO commit the murder by the promise
OF five hundred dollars. GRAHAM struck the
first blow then, his heart failing him,
HUNTER finished the work Of death.
II is not we think, too much to say that
1t was on the strength Of GRAHAM's testi-
mony corroborated as 1t was in many par
ticulars, that the jury brought in their
verdict against HUNTER Of guilty OF murder
III the first degree. Without GRAHAMs
testimony, conviction, to say the least,
would have been doubtful.
The remark OF Prosecutor JENKINS to the
jury, which has elected a good deal OF ad-
verse comment. Is given by our own re-
porter in the following words:
"you must not believe that Thomas GRAHAM has been
given the chance OF saving his ~ No The STATE Of
New Jersey Will permit the hired assassin 20 escape

you how sorry shall be 10 TnoNss GRAHAM executed

rdri hes dHd toll Al story Jr,t surely he na'f hang
1t may be true that the State Of New Jer-
sey will never permit the hired assassin to
escape; but, on the other hand, it may be
asked whether the State Of New Jersey will
hang by the neck until he Is dead the wit
ness she has just made use Of to convict the
worst murderer that ever trod upon her soil
"a witness without whose testimony that
murderer might probably have escaped
II has been laid down by high judicial
authority that when a commonwealth ne
cepts an accomplice as n witness, an obliga-
tion OF the most sacred character is thereby
incurred 10 that witness to protect him. In
some cases il has been held 10 go to the ex-
tent OF his unconditional pardon in others
TO the degree of a mitigation Of punishment.
The proposition Of Prosecutor JENKINS is
shocking and learned as he has shown him
self in criminal law. We venture TO suggest
that on this single point he might increase
his reading with advantage.

Reform in the Army.

Congress at the late session wholly failed
to meet the public expectation in regard to
reform in the army. 1t is true some OF the
most notorious abuses in the way OF extra
allowances were cut off from the officers,
because the scandals connected with them
had grown TO be 50 offensive TO decency as
10 be no longer endurablc. But othor abuses
equally unsavory with those abolished were
preserved aud sanctiled. Tho enormous
pay roll was left untouched, and mileage
and transportation flourish as they have
heretofore done--nlysteres 10 all save the
beneliciarics.
A Joint committee OF three Senators and
five Representatives, was authorized in the
Army bill, 10 whom the whole subject OF re-
form and reorganization Of the army is
referred. They are to meet at tho close of
the present month, apd are required by the
act to report by the first day OF January,

lish workman, small as his surplus is, does
lay aside part OF 1t. II he did not, we may
be sure the pauper roll would be far heavier
than 1t now Is. To show how general and
strenuous is the habit of putting by small
savings, he points to the considerable
volume attained by their aggregate accu-
mutations. From the returns lately issued
by the Registrar OF Friendly Societies, 1t APP
pears that there are entered on his books
more than $4,000 OF these associations, COM
pretending nearly three and half
million members, and commanding funds
whose total exceeds siG,0OO,0OO. or I'M
registered societies the number OF members
Ia put down at about million, and their
combined deposits at ten million dollars.
To these should be added 1913 loan societies,
more than half OF which are In the metro
politan counties, nearly 400 building associa-
lions, about 1900 provident societies, and
some 1900 trades unions, whose aggregate
funds reach SS5 900. No wonder the Chief
Registrar In concluding his report, should
affirm that imperfect as these figures are,
yet, as attesting TO a great extent the results
OF provident habits In the working class,
they deserve to be taken into account by poll
ticians and moralists. These, however, are
not the only data which merit notice. In
English savings institutions, including
those connected with the Post Office, there
are more than ten million deposits, making
up sum OF five hundred million dollars.
Now the fiuctuation in the number Of these
deposits, according to the condition OF trade,
supplies key to the character of the de-
positors, and 1t is thus proved that large
proportion of this vast sum belongs TO the
working classes. Another phase OF the matter
which should be marked is the considerable
improvement in the homes OF English arti-
sans during the last twenty-five years 1t
follows that II the plttance OF spare money
has not always been put into the bank, it
has been used TO advantage in the purchase
OF furniture and household necessarics. So
much for the economies which the British
workingman is able TO make out OF his sur
plus Of one shilling week. This, OF course,
is the bright side Of the picture, but it was
time that we should have glimpse OF 1t.
Mr.. II. W. DALE has shown that the asserted
improvidence Of workingmen will at least
bear discussion.

An Unmadc Bargain Broken.

Mr.. HAYES we are insured made no bar

us to understand that he has existed In an
elevated atmosphere of absolute purity.
Bargain for the Presidency Not he; those
Intimately associated with him may have
done II: but HAYES himself. never Perish
the thought!
All this does not consist very well with
statement recently made to n reporter Of
the Philadelphia Press by Minister MOVES.
That gentleman was denouncing in no
measured terms the POTTER investigation.
1t was started, he said. to manufacture
Democratic capital. Then, as reported in
The Press. he added this very significant
comment:
"The Southern Democracy arc 10 blame for
this. They hare broken faith rhh President
HAYES"
Now faith cannot be broken that has not
been pighted. Aud faith was not plighted
on one side unless something was pledged
OH the other as a consideration.
What had the Southern Democracy done
which Mr.. MOVES denounced as an infrac-
tion Of their faith They had voted for an
Investigation into the Electoral Frauds. 1t
follows, then, II this was a violation Of their
faith. that their faith was pledged to cover
up these frauds. and to sustain them. There
can be no other meaning TO Mr.. NoYEs's
language.
And to whom was their faith pledged
Mr.. MOVES Is very explicit on this point
He leaves no room for doubt or misunder-
standing about IL. He says they have
broken faith with President HAYES"
There was. then, after all, a bargain with
the Southern Democracy, to which Mr..
HAYES himself was party. We have 1t all
from his next friend, Mr. MOVES.
The Presidency was traded for. HAYES
traded for it. The proof comes from his
own side, and the fact is placed beyond
further cavil.

Columbia College.

The handsome victories of the Columbia
oarsmen at Henley on Thursday and Friday
will be likely to rebound TO the substantial
advantage of the venerable college from
which tho American four hailed.
Columbia Is one OF the oldest colleges in
the country, and it is also one OF the most
richly endowed; but until within recent
years 1t pursued its work without attract
ing much attention in the country, and in
New York itself it was comparatively little
known. Yet 1t has a distinguished roll Of
alumni and its graduates are numerous in
the city.
Probably the victory of the Columbia
crew at Saratoga did more TO extend the
popular fame Of the college than anything
else which has been done during a quarter
OF century. Its name became far more
generally known, and we believe the effect
OF this was seen In larger classes. The more
conspicuous and more glorious victories on
the Henley course will spread this fame and
bring Columbia into a greater prominence
than 1t has enjoyed since the century began.
Columbia ought " be one Of our greatest

colleges, as It Is one OF the oldest and richest.
Unlike many others, 1t has vast endowment
the use Of which is practically unrestricted.
1t pays its professors salaries about twice
as large rs those OF any other college, and
three or four times as large as those GUS
tomary in this country; and so can obtain
tho best talent to be had. Though its ac-
ademic department contains small number
of students compared with Harvard, Yale,
or Princeton, its law school Is the largest
in the country, its mining school is far ahead
OF any other and its medical school has an
enviablc reputation. II some new blood and
life could be infused into its ancient, narrow
minded faculty and slow-going board OF
trustees, Columbia would stand a good
chance Of making a long leap forward dur
ing the next five years.
Since 1858 the college has occupied ugly
and inconvenient buildings In Forty-nlnth
street. which were built for another purpose,
but at last the foundations for new struc-
ture have been begun on the same site
Thus has been settled a question which long
vexed the trustees, that of remaining in the
city or removing out of II and building up u
sort Of college town. There are many adj
vantages, and also some grave disad-
vantages, in sending boys to a college whose
situation will enable them to live at home;
and these Columbia will continue to enjoy
or suffer from.
The trustees OF this venerable institu-
ton have an opportunity to make 1t the nu-
clcus OF great university. But before they
improve 1t they will need to get rid of a
good many old fogy ideas.

We can hardly say that Gen. BUTLER is n
rising man; for, Judging by the amount OF
abuse he has received, no man in the coun-
try has been more conspicuous than he
during the last twenty years. Yet it Is re-
markablc that among all the public charac-
tcrs now before the country in political life,
BUTLER is the only one who excitcs a gcnu-
inc unselfsh, warm enthusiasm among any
great mass of people, and who, If he were n
candidate for Governor or President, would
receive n great many votes, merely because
certain voters have an ardent personal feel
ing toward him.
We publish this morning remarkable in
terview with Gen. BUTLER. He expresses
himself frankly, as is his wont; indeed,
there is no politician who is more candid
and more entirely above board than he. He
is no tricky politician, but says just what
he means, and lets us understand before
hand precisely what he expects to do; and
he never deceives the observer In regard to
his intentions or his acts.
This interview is full OF shrewd points
and keen criticisms. 1t is well worth read
ing and even those who hate its author,
may profit by his instructive suggestions.
The passage relating to the POTTER nvesti-
cation will be found particularly interest
ing. Let everybody read 1t, and read, also,
the other things, which Gen BUTLER has to
say. One thing especially is TO be remcm-
bered In his honor He does not believe that
Fraud is sacred, even II it is established In
