The Unnatural Crime,

Recorder Hackett's pithy charge to the
Grand Jury yesterday drew particular at
tention to class of crime regarding which
strong public sentiment is as desirable as
dragging few of the criminals to justice.
He spoke Of charges which would be laid
before the jury against four persons ac-
cused of 'felonious meddling in the bust.
ness of infanticde," and added, 81 say
business regarding this crime, because.
as I am told by the agents OF the
Society for the Suppression of Vice, child
birth preventing has become business
both organized and lucrative" These are
startling words and demand the attention
of the community, for this has been written
of as one of the peculiar crimes of the age
If it has attained the proportions alleged il
demands stern repression; but it seems
strange that the salaried police should have
left the opening of the campaign to purely
private society. We pay detectives whose
business it should be to make all such
monstrous callings impossible. The persons
carrying them on and their places of abode
must be known to the police, for If the feloni.
GUS business is organized and lucrative" its
headquarters must be more or less stablel
yet a murder in the pursuit of the hideous
business must be committed before the prin
cipals are arrested by the regular force, and
even then SO clumsily or suspiciously are
the cases managed that convictions nre rare.
The proper method undoubtedly would be
to take such steps as would once for all
break up business which is in every way
criminal. If there are three men on the
detective force above the purchase of these
murderers this city could be cleared Of
them in a month. The detective work
which has resulted in bringing four of these
alleged practitioners before the Grand Jury
is more meritorious than that which re-

is to be hoped that the work will go on.

he would never row another race. This he
no doubt saw when he wisely authorized
the challenge as stated in Bells Life. That
challenge does him credit in every way.
II he has permitted the later statement 1t
does away with that credit. Let him come
to Owasco Lake as originally agreed. A
sheet of water more suitable in all respects
for his purpose could hardly be found on
either continent. Courtney will race him,
also Hanlon, and Morris doubtless as well,
while the Auburn people will be wholly
derelict if, after the great match is over
they do not offer very handsome purse
and open the field not only to these crack
scullers, but to Louther, Riley, Johnson
Ross, Plaisted and Ten Eyck as well. Then
if Higgins wants turn with Trickett he
could be readily accommodated on this
thoroughly neutral course, while doubtless
half dozen lively and exciting matches
would follow such brilliant meeting to
say nothing of handsome purses from New
York, Boston and other cities.

Wh ut Next?

Russia has made peace with Turkey on
terms that leave to those who object scarcely
the material to make q case. She has Sc
cured the great and substantial results of
her victory and has relinquished those ex-
treme claims which might have made posi-
BILE combination against her. She leaves
the Egyptian tribute as it was and
every other portion of the Turkish
revenue that is pledged to foreign creditors.
She abandons the demand for n portion Of
the Turkish fleet. She has cut down the
money indemnity to q low point, compara-
lively, and she apparently leaves the free
dom of the Dardenelles as an issue for the
future. Finally, if any portion of her army
enters Constantinople it will be merely in
the spirit in which the Germans entered
Paris, as formal sign Of their
absolute victory, but not to stay there.
In these points are included all
the ground covered by England's declara-
tions as to the "interests" the violation of
which she would take as an invasion of her
rights. Mr.. Cross formal statement of the
interests that Russia said she would respect
has been kept in view, and Russia
appears to have respected them. Evil
IDENTIFY, therefore. England cannot at
this stage make new difficulties and
object on points as to which she
said nothing when invited to declare how
far Russia might go without injury to her.
1t cannot be denied that Russia's victory Is
blow at England's prestige in the East,
which she can i'll afford to accept. She is
in fact the Power that is overcome by the
victory. But the loss of prestige in the
East and the loss Of that influence at Con-
stantinople which made the Sultan
simply her viceroy, are not points
that sho can formulate as grievances.
II she is to quarrel with the peace she must
quarrel on the terms declared by her own
government last year, and the fact appears
to be, therefore, that while the results Of
the war have done her great harm, the re-
suits of the peace. taken in connection
with her own declarations, have been to de-
prive her of fair claim to de.
mand redress; while if she de-
mands redress in the old arrogant
way and without such fair claim,
she will not get it, since she will not have
either an ally or the sympathy of any other
Power, and without physical or moral sup.
port she would find war with Russia not a
pleasant pastime. Thus. whether there ID

An Irish Patriot.

Around the name of Robert Emmet clus-
ter such memories as will be honored while
tho hearts of men are capable OF entertain
ing unselfsh emotions. To his Irish fel-
low countrymen his name has become the
type of the patriot, the lover, the hero, the
prophet and. alas the martyr. Yesterday a
century is stated to have elapsed from the
day of his birth, but his name is still
"green in their souls" In the brief span
Of a life which ended on the GAL
lows in Dublin on September 20,
1903, he personifed NIL the passion
ate yearning for freedom, all the despera-
tion of action against English rule which
shook his downtrodden country in his day.
BY birth, fortune and religion allied to the
brother, whose honored bones lie beneath a
monument in st. Paul's churchyard in this
city, nevertheless took the side OF the op-
pressed, and when the insurrection of 1898
had been quenched in blood, when the mis-
creants who had taken Castlereagh's bribes
had voted the Act Of Union with England,
when Ireland lay in ashes, her trade de-
parted, her horizon all darkened round, he
came back from his exile in France filed
with m enthusiasm that death alone could
quench to rally his countrymen to arms and
raise anew the standard Of revolt. He who
reads the dark history Of those days Alright
will see what burning causes he had to JUS
tify him what tremendous obstacles lay in
his path. Misadventure beset him almost
from the start, but he undauntedly went on.
His attempted rising on July %, 1903,
in the streets Of Dublin was failure he
was soon fugitive and might have escaped,
but tie Of love held him in Ireland. He
was arrested, tried and executed. Such is
the brief record--a story not uncommon in
the sad annals of Ireland but he lives in
the memory Of his people in a region apart
from all who had gone before him in dying
for his country. The freshness Of youth,
the light of courage and self-sacrifce, the
halo of o thrilling romance Of woman's love,
the gift of uncommon eloquence, fortitude
in facing the darkest fate had been severally
exemplified in others who rebelled and suf-
fered, but were all concentrated in him.
For them he is remembered with sympathy
and respect the world over even by the foes
of his cause, but his influence in his own
country rests above these on his dread and
unique command, made in the crowded
court, when about to be sentenced to death.

flee" we're hurrying his burning address to
a close:-
Let NO man write my eptaph; for no man who
knows my motives dare low vindicate them, let not
prejudice or ignorance asperse them. When
my country takes her place among the nations Of the
earth, thcn and not I'LL then, let my spitaph. be

This is the man whom Irishmen honored
yesterday. Not conqueror or deliverer,
but, equally with our Revolutionary Fathers
who had risen against England twenty
seven years before, he had pledged "his
life, his fortune and his sacred honor" to his
cause. Robert Emmet lost his stake under
Providence the Fathers triumphed. Should

material, results from the impression made
by the fact that if Cuba did not actually
gain her freedom from Spain she showed
that Spain was not powerful enough to put
her down with armed force and could only
quiet her finally by Cancellation and the
concession of all that would have given
practical value to her independence. All
men in Cuba will rejoice in the result save
only those owners Of sugar estates who see
with dismay tho proposed application Of
the promised abolition of slavery but these
may comfort themselves now with the con-
sideration of how much worse their lot
might have been if free Cuba had added one
more to the number of Spanish American
republics.

viii Trickett Row Courtney,

In December last the Sydney (Australia)
correspondent of Bells Life said that
Trickett authorized him to state that he
would row Courtney n three-mile race
straightaway on any neutral water in the
United States for one thousand pounds
a side. Courtney promptly responded,
even telegraphing his assent to Aus
trnlia, and naming Owasco Lake as the
course. Now the Newcastle Chronicle comes
out with the startling information thas who
ever will row Trckett for the worlds
championship must go to Australia to do it.
For the sake of all who are interested we
trust that this last story is not correct. As
champion sculler of the world Trickett
doubtless could stand on his rights and in
sist that he who would wrest the coveted
honor from him must go to his
far off island home to do 1t. But,
if he did. there is great danger that

the more dogmatic Church to bear. When,
indeed, we ponder on all the good things
which cook OF moderate abilities can pro-
vide and yet keep we'll within the
rules" and when we know how many
good Catholics keep good cooks, we cannot
say that religion nowadays demands over
much from the pious churchman in the way
of bodily modification. If he opens with
sblue points on the half-shell, follows
with pea soup, proceeds to broiled split

rich Burgundy, we think, on the whole, he
is not to be pitied as he imagines the
curling smoke of his cigar into votive in

convictions on the necessity of fasting here
to avoid q roasting hereafter, would sit
down without regret to such q Lenten dis
cipline Of his coarse, heshly appetites. Far
different is it to the diet of salt herring,
mouldy crusts and cold water or lentil
soup and water crosses of the old days,
when fasting was something serious. But
if the fasting is becoming an agreeable
fiction the deeper lesson of the season re-
mains beautiful and unmodifed. As the
pampered body may be bettered by season
of modification, SO the pampered soul may
surely be improved by the humble contem-
plation Of the greatest sacrifice for the love
of man which it is possible to conceive-the
crucifixion of the God made man to atone
the sins of world.

morning the precipitation turned to snow over

movement of the high barometer from the lake

If in watching Its operation he hndS that 1t

much expansion he will apply the check
which will always be in his hands.
1t is understood to be the purpose of the
Secretary of the Treasury to put the new
silver dollars in circulation as fast as they
come from the mints, and as he will doubtless
purchase his silver bullion with gold coin
the greenbacks paid into the Treasury for
taxes will remain there and accumulate.
BY this means he may gradually in the
course of the year contract the greenback
circulation pretty we'll down toward the
limit of three hundred million dollars
fixed by the Resumption act and thereby
bring the legal tender notes to par in adj
vance of the actual resumption Of specie
payments. BY this mode OF administra-
tion the Silver bill may be made an efficient
instrument of resumption without disturb
ing the business Of the country. While
there would be a contraction of the green
backs there would be no real contraction of
the money of the country. There would,
indeed, be slight expansion, because more
silver would be put into the channels OF
business than the amount of greenbacks
