MOVEAGH writes to the newspapers
through friend attempting to Justify
himself In resigning the attorney general
ship at time when the resignation prov
ed fatal to the prosecution of the Star
route thieves. He insinuates that he
resigned because he knew the president
not to be in sympathy with him in the
prosecution. 1t would seem the proper
thing for the president, Judging from
the manner toe ex-attorney general man.
aged the prosecution. There is respon-
sibility somewhere and the failure to
prosecute vigorously manifests DISPOSE
ton to allow the thieves to escape. This
will be practically announcing that the
people of this republic are nothing more
than prey for those shrewd enough to
defraud them. The petty theft is pun
ished to the full extent of the law, but
the man who steals millions, if he has
done ''party service" will have cabinet
reconstructed if it be necessary to his
escape. 1t is impossible to punish g
criminal if he has been managing poll
tieian. Penal laws are only for the weak
and defenceless. If it was intended that
they should be impartial in their enforc-
ment, those whose duty it is to execute
or interpret them choose to take differ
ent view.

THE destruction of life at the Ring
theater is almost incredible. It is now
believed that fully 1000 persons perish
ed. The strangest thing about the affair
is that the general belief at first was that
every person had escaped, and some of
the police reported that not soul was
injured. 1t was only when people came
to inquire for missing friends that the
full extent of the calamity was realized.
The parquette could not be reached on
account of the number of dead bodies
blocking the way. Death came almost
instantaneously to all. The flames spread
so rapidly that it was almost like an ex-
plosion. The police and 6remen acted
execrably and the extent of the disaster
is largely owing to their ineficiency.-
The management is also deserving of the
severest censure for the reason that no
means of escape in case of fire was pro-
vided. 1t was a modern Herculaneum.

DIR. SPrTzKA of New York, specialist
in mental and nervous diseases, gave
testimony in the Guiteau trial highly adj
vantageous to the defense. Spitzka Is
described as brilliant young man, full
of information and Of keen perception.
The prosecution attempted to cast dis
credit upon his testimony but he worsted
them in the cross examination.
His theory is that Guiteau is congeplt-
ally insane,-a moral monstrosity. That
the formation of his brain precludes san
ity, and that he has been insane through
out his life. There is serious danger CT
experts being too expert in matters of
this kind A man naturally brutal, with
violent passions is insane according to
the theory of Spitzka. If the brain is
the seat of mental activity and mental
action its functions, then every man with
a talent above the average is insane, any
slight deviation from the normal stand
ard whether in brilliancy or stupidity is
insanity.

GLADsToNE's success in Ulster cannot
but be gratifying to every true Irishman,
every one who is more Intent on securing
solid advantage for the poor people than
on keeping them in a constant ferment
of agitation. The Irish people act strange
ly IN the contest between the two parties.
The tories were never in favor of the
Irish and always opposed to acceding to
any of their requests, 1t is a party mi
mlcal to the Irish people and ayowedIy
opposed to any policy which would bet
ter their condition.
The liberal party under Gladstone
disestablished the Irish church, so that
now there is no church in Ireland sup
ported by the government. 1t passed
the land act, law calculated to relieve
poor tenants and give them protection
from the oppression of landlords. In
both it was bitterly opposed by the tory
or conservative party, the very party
witt which the Irish now want to act.
Why are the Irish people so determin
ed to get on the side of their enemies I?
Why do they work against the party
which has given them every privilege
lately accorded them, and in doing so
had to fight the very party with which
the Irish now want to act ? It is strange
condition OF affairs and such an anomaly
would not be presented by any other
class of people in the world.

The papers which denounce The Sen
tinel because of its attacks on the officers
of the Reform School, do not seem to be
aware of the mission of a newspaper, to
give news and correct abuses. If The
Sentinel believed that there were prsc-
tees prevailing In the Reform School
which needed exposure, it was courage
GUS enough in acting in accordance with
its convictions. Many of the papers
which criticise it would be guided by
caution rather than what they deemed a
duty to the public.
1t is very easy matter for abuses to
creep into such school as that of Wau-
kesha. We are by no means certain that
there have not been in the past, practices
which humanity could not countenance.
We have no knowledge of the personnel
of the present board with the exception
of one member, and we know that his
being on the board is guaranty that
these institutions will be managed in &C
cordance with humane principles. He
would not remain one day member of
the board if that body countenanced any
policy not dictated by humanity. Wher-
ever Mr.. Luling is known any charges
against the board as whole will receive
very little credence.
The otlIUr members of tho board miohf
be disposed to sustain the powers that be,
or they may be charitably inclined. They
may be watchful of the interests confded
to their charge, or they may be negligent.
They may need an occasional reminder
of their duty in the shape of sharp
newspaper criticism, or the criticism may
be unjust to them. But in any event
they should not be held responsible for
abuses before they assumed control OF
the institutions.

JOHN W. FoRNEY.

There are but few of the leading men
left who belonged to what may be termed
the last generation of politicians. Sum-
ner, Greeley. Forney, men who shaped
the policy of their times, and lived to
see young and less gifted generation
succeed to the power which they swayed
have passed beyond the realm OF politics.
Forney deserves to be classed with Gree
ley as journalist, and, although it cam
not be said of him that he moulded pub
lie opinion to the same extent the founder
of The Tribune did, still his pen was q
power. He died on Friday last, not IN
expectedly, although his sickness was
brief.
Forney is the best example of what
industry can do in securing fame. He
was emphatically self made man and
celebrated as genial companion, an elo-
quent speaker and vigorous write r.
He was man in whose genius the coun-
try might take just pride.

A STORY which reads like novel comes
through the N. Y. papers and is absorb
ingly interesting. A man named White,
some years ago shot person In Texas
for an insult offered his father. He then
took to the road and became stage rob-
Der. BE Is man of powerful build, fine
personal appearance, great strength and
unfinching courage. He robbed nine
stages unassiste1, but never molested
women, in fact furnished some of the
poorer lady passengers with a portion of
the contribution levyed on their fellow
travellers. He was captured and confined
in a Colorado Jail. But the energy OF
the man was so well known that it was
concluded to take him to safer quarters
and it was decided to remove him to
Detroit, Mich. The person to whom the
task of removing White was assigned. is
celebrated as one of the most fearless
officers of the centennial state. He man
Tested his appreciation of the danger OF
the work, by making his will before
starting. He was accompanied by two
guards. While on the way the guards
went into the smoking car and White in
stantly jumped up with the manacles off
his hands, having removed them with
tooth pick and struck the officer on the
head. stunning him and demanded his
revolver. A second time he struck the
officer with the loosened manacles, who
grappled with the robber. White snatch
ed the revolver end placing to the breast
of the officer, pulled the trigger but it
failed to go off. All the passengers in
the car ran except one woman who cour-
ageously seized the criminal and with the
assistance of the officer, held him until
tire guards arrived. White vainly tried
to use the revolver and being unable to,
used his teeth on the woman's arm. The
officer took the address of the woman,
but although he is now searching for her
to pay her $500, he is unable to find her.
The events here narrated occurred last
week.

SENATOR EDMUNDs has introduced a
bill in the senate calculated to extirpate
polygamy. 1t cannot be done by the
enactment of laws, it is only the execu-
tion that has effect. There are laws
enough now if properly enforced to abol
ish the immoralities of the Latter Day
Saints. There are laws against theft
also, but the Star route thieves may safe
ly defy them. Laws are of no account
unless there are men with stamina enough
to enforce them.

For practical sarcasm the Women
Anti-Polygamy Society of Salt Lake City
takes the lead. Cannon, the delegate from
Utah is Mormon and makes no secret
of it. In short he made an affidavit to
the fact. The women have cards with
that portion of the presidents message
relating to polygamy printed on one side
and the affidavit of Cannon admitting his
possession of many wives on the other.
"How to prove polygamy" las been the
excuse heretofore. Here is case fully
proved and awaiting action.
