CRY REPUBLICAN TICKET.


As will be seen by ~ local columns,
John l.. Maxwell, who stood charged with
embezalemeut while sctipgasthe Secretary
oEthoG Gas Works since 1t came into thepo o
session oithe city, was yesterday discharged
from prosecution upon g technically,
which te~chnica!ity was that he was not an
officer of the city within tho meaning oil the
Law, and therefore not amenable to the
penalty due for his ofisnse. Had he been
employed in exactly the same position by
any private corporation the old Gas Com
pany for instance AS that in which he was
employed by the Gas Commissioners OF
tbs city, he would in all probability have
gone to the psnitentisry for several years,
bat simply because he was not technically
an officer Of the city he is permitted to es'
cape, Ho was an officer to oil intents
aud purposes, and would have been so
held as the employe Of any individual orof
q private corporation, but not having
bonded to the city and otherwise taken OF
the customary official status, he is ruled
not to have incurred the penalty for wrong
doing in such CAFES made and provided
We do not assail this ruling oil the Judge
1t may be sound law-but 1t Ia certainly
& case whore the public interests have
been inside "bond,slavo to tho law" The
statute, one would suppose, never intend
ed that an offender should be exempt from
the punishment which II prescribed Tor
his oifense, simply because the offender
himseli was appointed by a Board Of
Commissioners, who were city officers, In
stead Of by q Board OF Directors, who were
officers Of n private corporation. The law
does not mean to draw any Auch distlnC'
tons. II ~ did it could never have been
called "ths perfection Of human reason"
1t was simply a failure Of the statute to
name Maxwell peculiar and SpeCifCstatus,
aud not a failure Of evident intent to
cover that status, that lat him out OF the
me.hes Of TIE law. Criminal laws are
construed strictly-Rlmost l~iterally-and
hence such men as Maxwell escape by a
mere lechnlcality in the face Of absolute
certainty Of their guilt.
What makes this escape q matter Of
universal interest to the public Is the fact
tina! the crime OF arson stands joined with
Tint public belief, Few persons doubt,
or have room 10 doubt, that the fire that was
kihdlod under tho Odd Fellows hall build.
ing, in the Gas office, at the time the coal
oil WAS poured upon the books and a
match npplledto them, was kindled by the
same person who had systematically talSt.
fed those books for years pas
in order to dolraud the public. He
and his colleague in crime were the only
persons in the world known 10 be inter.
esled in the destruction Of those books,
and in order to get those books out Of the
way the very heart Of the cityin the way
OF buildings WAS put in imminent jeopardy
from ageneral ContAgration. This Is why
a peculiar interest aud q peculiar hard.
ship attach to the escape Of John L.
Maxwell from the clutches Of the law.

Ten years ago the six per cen! bonds Of
the government formed icu'.htths OF the
total debt, considerably m1re than the to.
tai bonded debt now, land nearly as much
as the total dsbt, less cash in the Treasury,
now. The debt statement given out on
Monday shows that these bonds now form
bat one.tenth OF tho total debt, one.ninth
OF the deb. less cash in the Treasury, and
o~ne.eigh.h Of the bonded debt. This com.
parisou indicates at once the reduction
in the volume Of the debt, and the
reduction both OF total interest
and Of the rate Of interest.
While these reductions are at.
tribuled largely to the growth Of popula.
ton, to The extent Of the country which
permits o rapid growth Of population with.
out pro%portionAtOly sharpening the strug.
glo for existence, and to tho vast general
resources Of the country, things for which
Americans should be thankful, 1t Is also
attributable in a considerable degree to
the good sense, honesty aud good man.
agsment Of the people and their public
servants, Of which Americans are excusa.
BILE II they feel some pride. The reduC.
ton Of the debt for tho past six months
has been $42, 990,569, a fact Of consider.
