the animal into a fence close by, which
he ran against with great force, up
setting the buggy throwing himself,
wife, little boy and an infant out, So
riously injuring the latter, 1ts face
was frightfully gashed while II was
otherwise injured. All of them were
more or less bruised. Mr.. Hurst IL IN

the train robbers In Denton county.
He had gone to Denton the day before
the Hutchins robbery to look for the
Allen robbers, and the next day, while
thus engaged, saw the Hutchins rob-

superiority in arms and numbers, did
not attack them. He telegraphed fol

Yesterday morning, Mr.. A. J. Pruitt,
who lives about eighteen miles south
Of here, arrived In the city, looking
for horse that had been stolen from
him Sunday night. He had succeeded
in tracing the animal within four
miles OF the city where It was last seen
by several parties. Diligent search
was made through the city by him and
an officer for the animal, but without
success, and 1t is supposed that the
thief went around the city.

OF Justice In recognition of their services
to him on this trying occasion, the generous
Count sent fifty dollars to be distributed
among the wounded policemen, while pro-
fcssors of tho college bailed out their en-
thusiastc students.
This was very proper and creditable,
though perhaps il the Count had omitted to
arm himself with rcvolvers, and had gra-
ciously accepted the compliment his au-
dicncc intended to pay him, he would have
saved the money, and everybody would
have been better satisfied. The best way Of

mind our noble friend h. to enter so heartily
into 1t that the testers shall be in doubt
whether they are not the butt rather than
you. When they are boys like the Yale
students in this case, the wise man has an
opportunity TO make them feel very small
indeed when the time of reflection comes.
We hope the Count will consent to again
visit New Haven. and will forget the ex-
citing scenes which accompanied his last
triumph there. II is a very beautiful and
thriving city. and its clms are famous

New York May Take Lesson from a
New Jersey Crime.

Among the horrible developments Of the
examination, by Legislative Committee.
into the condition Of the State prison at
Trenton, was the fact that an unfortunate
prisoner, while undergoing punishment in
species Of Internal machine known ms
stretcher, had died. evidently from the tor
ture, and yet no inquest was held upon his
body. lie was only pauper prisoner, and
although an inquest would have been mani
testify proper and indeed would seem to have
been au imperative duty. somehow or other
those on whom the responsibility rested
were ignorant OF the facts, or wiltully blind
to them.
From this instance of cruel neglect our
own State may derive a useful lesson. Such
an occurrence is possible here as we'll as in
New Jersey. Our Revised Statutes at pres
ent provide a follows

two objections to this there might be an

The investigation IN New Jersey has shown
that officers often stiilc their own sense Of

What we would recommend is a change Of
the law 90 as To make 1t the duty OF the
Coroner u hold an inquest ON the body of
every person who dies while undergoing
confinement in prison. and to thoroughly
investigate tho cause OF death. This would
be a comprehensive and cflicacious prccau-
tion against the possibility Of such case Of
neglect as that which occurred at Trenton.
The punishment of Offenders Is essential to

The Fighting Strength of England.

II is plain that the terms Of peace dictated
by the Grand Duke NICHOLAS are extremely
dstasteful to Great Britain; but how. N
this late hour, is she to hinder their enforce
ment ? The prospect Of Austrian coopora-
ton is now doubtful; there are signs Of
secret understanding between the Turkish
Ministry and Russia, and it looks as ii Eng
land, II she should try the hazard, might
have to cope single handed with the
Cars victorious legions. With what hope
of success could she enter upon such a con-
test T.? What are the actual extent and char
acter Of her military resources; We have
had by telegram the opinion of Sir GARNET
WoLsELEy on the former point, but moro
detailed and definite information is desirable.
The reforms suggested by Sir JoHN BUR-
ooYNE We're repeatedly urged in vain, and
up TO the date Of that Generals death, IN
1870, almost nothing had been done to re-
construct the most defective Of army organ
izatons or to profit by the disastrous les
sons OF the Crimen. In 1871, however not
only was promotion by purchase abolished
by royal warrant, but the CARDwELL bill
undertook 10 create all effective reserve by
subjecting the militia To the military code
during the period Of instruction. and by
other measures tending 10 aesmllate that
body to regular troops. II is now some five
years since the new system went into Opor-
alton, but the dream Of the English states
man-to have 10000 mon under arms in the
hour of needs still far from fulfill
ment. Official statistics attest the dill
cuties which have attended recruiting
during that period. The regular army
has received additions amounting TO
1OiOOO, but in the same five years it has lost

As regards the stamina Of these troops, we
must bear In mind that no insignificant pro-
portion Of recruits in late years have been
enrolled at the agoof seventeen or eighteen,

ont journal in the country in support of Mr.

Inauguration of Mr. HAYES, the Tribune said a.
MIR HAYES has reduced his office nearly TO cirhcr

At tho close Of his first year Mr.. HAYES

March, 1919
His title is virtually conceded by leading
Republicans as well as by Democrats, to be
bad and what is there in the character of
the man To cause his retention in an office
to which he has really no right?
One year was one year too much to have a
cipher in the Office Of President, after he
had been placed there by forgery and per-
jury. Is it possible there is not stun enough
