THE WoRLD GRoWIyG BETTER.

Governor Butler, of Massachusetts,, seems TO
have experienced a change of mind, if not of
heart, since his accession TO the GubernatOral
chair. In his little speech the other night, at
the dinner Of the Saturday Night Club, he ex-
pressed the opinion very decidedly that the
world is growing better instead OF worse
"To be sure" he said, eve hear of defalca-
"tion here, and something else wrong there
81" and of Star-ROute conspiracy somewhere
"e,se but this Is not because crime is more
prevalent than formerly or the world Is
growing worse. 1t is because everything
4" that happens in our country Is in print and
on our breakfast-tables the next morning,
"and because there are more of us than ever
"before. Depend upon it, gentlemen" he
said in conclusion, the world is growing
"better every day"
Here seems to be a significant change of
views within few months. If we rightly recall
the spirit of General Buffers public utterances,
when lie was candidate for the Office he now
holds it was somewhat pessimistic. He would
have had us think that pretty much everything
was going rapidly to the bow-wows that this
was particularly the case in Massachusetts, and
that nothing but his election to be Governor
could save that Commonwealth and perhaps

Considering that it was not to be devoted
to Irish affairs, the present session of Parlia-
ment opens rather inauspiciously. This is the
second week, and Ireand's woes are about all
that las yet been mentioned. Mr.. Parnell moved
an amendment yesterday to the addl ess to the
Throne, in which unjust executions" are de-
nounced. His speech in support CT the motion
was full of bitterness and revealed man con-
scious of the terrible position in which the
Dublin Police Court revelations have placed
him. Mr.. Parnell talked wildly and denounced
everything. The executions for murder were
wicked the judges were prosecutors and poll
ticians; the people were quiet, but only under
the burden of a brutal, terrible Coercion act
This is all as false as his assertion that if the
Government had relied OH the sympathy of the
Irish people after the Phoenix Park tragedy, in
stead of passing tyrannical law, Ireland would
have been paclfed. 1t was after the assasslna-
tons that the English Government passed the
Arrears of Rent bill-a merciful measure. The
Coercion act that accompanied it hurt only
criminals. And Carey's testimony shows that
il was in july after the Phoenix Park murders,
that the assassination circle was perfected.

The vote in the House on the motion to
change the methods of business, so that ma
jority might suspend the rules, take the Tariff
bill off the Speakers table and send it to a con-
ference committee, shows that the Republicans
at least have it within their power to secure
effective tariff legislation at this session if they
choose to do so. The vote stood 100 TO 20 in
favor of the resolution. The Democrats, how
ever raised the point of "no quorum" and
that ended the matter for last night. The duty
of the Republicans now is plain enough. They
must pull a quorum together and try it again.

The story of the ruin which Gilbert l..
Crowell has brought on himself and those
who believed in his honesty, is remarkable
mainly for the amount of money made away
with. Trusts are betrayed almost daily; and
innocent persons suffer In consequence. But
the money taken rarely amounts TO 100000
because that sum is not often within reach.
In other respects the history of this crime is
generally commonplace. Crowell held high
position in the community, socially and III
business way. So much confidence was felt In
him that the three women he has robbed did
not trouble him for accounts. The temptation
to speculate in silver mines was too strong TO
be withstood, and Crowell's own fortune and
over half million beside have been sunk IN
a hole in the ground. 1t may be noted rs an
exceptional circumstance, perhaps. that Crowell
was not man of deep religious tendencies,
nor did he take an active part in church and
Sunday school management. The disgrace OF
broken professions, therefore, he has spared
himself and his friends.

Apparently the preparations for the Cars
coronation and assassination are going on at
the same time. The Kremlin is being made
ready for the ceremony, and it is reported that
the police at Brussels have discovered docu-
ments in an anarchists house giving details OF
a plot against Alexander's life to be executed
in May. All this will not be reassuring to the
Car. If he follows the old custom of his
predecessors, he will ride unescorted among
his people after the coronation ceremony. inns
would give the assassins a chance. AT the ball
at the Kremlin the Cars faithful subjects
heretofore have gone unlimited. If such lib
erty is allowed this year, every guest may
carry a bomb. Meanwhile 1t is well enough
not to give too much credence to all the re-
ports of anarchist plots. Anarchist is a hated
word, and the recent discoveries in Belgium,
France and Spain arouse the suspicion that 1t
is being used to cover the unjust action of the
government toward perfectly legitimate agita-
ton.

The Milwaukee authorities are following up
the Newhal House disaster with zeal that Is
good, so far as it goes. An indictment for ar
son has been found against Schiller, the Tor
mer lessee of the bar-room in the hotel. Inc
evidence against this man, so far as IL mas
been made known, does not appear TO De con-
elusive. There seemed to be an effort after
the fire, on the part of interested persons, 70
make him q scapegoat. The crime charged Is
a terrible one, but public feeling has become
calm enough to make it certain that the ac,
cused man will be fairly tried. The moral
force of the barkeeper's conviction for arson
however would not be half as great or whole
some as if the proprietor and owners OF the
hotel were punished for neglecting to pro-
vide for the safety of their guests.
