The secretary of war has declined to
approve the petition presented to him
signed by, as is said, nine hundred thou
sand people, asking for the release Of
Sergeant Mason, who attempted to shoot
Guiteau, because his sentence was s. un
nessarily severe and unwarranted by the
circumstances surrounding the otfense.' -
Secretary Lincoln justly decides that to
grant a petition based Oh such reasons
would he ruinous to army discipline and
destructive of respect for the law.
No one whose opinion is of any value
will differ with the secretary in this
judgment which is equal to saying that
the nine hundred thousand signers are
not people of good judgment. They are
people who let their feelings run away
with them and some peoples opinions
cannot be valuable when their emot ."ns
are excited. Men are not p,u,,"ily
guided by their feelings they Led
to exhibit calm judgment to show
themselves wise A good many edi
tors, who know great deal better,
have advocated the release of Mason be
cause they thought it Was popular /; and
they are always ready TO yield their
judgment of what is right to their con
ception of what is profitable. Such
journals can never achieve great re.
spect for their positions, for that Can
never he given to those who are the mere
echoes of the popular voice.

His Sad Death After Being Married Three
Days-Other Happenings OF
Various Kinds.
George Trinkaus, aged twenty five
wears. living ut 1854 Wakefield street,
Germantown, who committed suicide on
Wednesday night by shooting himself
through the head, had only been in this
country four months, having left his home
in Germany to escape The opportunities Of
his family, who wished him to wed
Young woman distasteful to him. The
match proposed would have been advan-
tageous, as the girl was moderately we'll
off, Of good family, and, so far as he knew,
of unblemished reputation. But he pre-
ferred to remain loyal to another, his
cousin. Louisa Kranich, who was then in
Philadelphia, living with her father on Ash
mead street, near Wakefield, German
town.
Upon his arrival in Philadelphia,
Trinkaus went to live with his uncle and
the father of Louisa. Being a shoemaker
by trade, and having some money of his
own, lie opened small shoe shop. With
the dawn of prosperity came desire for
matrimony. Louisa was willing, and so
on Sunday last the two were made one.
The happily mated pair went to house
keeping, tile furniture being purchased by
the young wife. On Monday following
the wedding ceremony the husband came
home very drunk. It~as revelation to
Louisa. In her love for him she had been
blind to his faults. She never, for an in.
stant, suspected the truth. In reply to
her reproaches he told her, in maudlin
fashion, that he had had 4 quarrel with
her father, who was then sick abed in the
hospital; that the latter was angered be-
cause tho wedding ceremony was perform
cd without his knowledge or consent, and
that he was driven to drink by accusations
of perfidy. BY this confession Louisa
realized that she, too, had been deceived.
There was nO approach to reconciliation
on either side. She had been wounded to
the quick, while her husband, on the
other hand, was too stupid to understand
the depth of his wrong. Tuesday was but
a continuation OF the spree. In tho even
ing he came home as he had done on Mon
day night, and was again loaded with
reprcaches. Driven to desperation by
these, it is thought, he borrowed a re-
volver, and, leaving his bride of three
days weeping in the room below, went up
stairs. He had not been gone many min
utes before shot was heard. Surmising
tho worst, Louisa fled the house, and on
the street met Lieutenant Buchanan, who
with tho terrified woman, returned to her
home. On entering her husbands apart
ments they found him dead. The bullet
had gcno through his head, entering at
one temple and passing ont at the other.
He had evidently stood before tho mirror,
for the lamp was still firmly grasped III
his left hand. The revolver with which
he had committed the deed was lying on
the floor 4 few feet away. The widowed
wife is overwhelmed with grief, and the
entire neighborhood is agitated over the
tragedy.

SENATOR'S EMERY and Lee, with Il
very proper appreciation of their duty
and responsibilities, have arranged to
come to this city and publicly discuss
The issues involved in the i'aSsage of the
free pipe line bill. They are the repre-
sentatives of great oil producing regions,
the prosperity OF which has contributed
largely to the material wealth OF Penn
sylvania. Upon the same principle that
the agricultural counties of this state
are asked to contribute to the W, flare OF
the manufacturing regions by promoting
a system of governmental protection for
their industries, the southeastern part of
PENNSYLVANIA is appealed to by the Oil
country to give its product free passage
to the seaports, to the end that Pennsyl-
vania industry may be developed and re-
lieved from the oppression which ii has
been subjected to by an odous foreign
corporation. Whatever view OF this ap
peal may be entertained, the public i'm
portance of the issue it raises will not he
gainsaid, and we feel quite certain that
the friends of the free pipe line bill will
welcome to the platform of the proposed
meeting anybody who has anything to say
in opposition to them, or who may
have any doubts to be solved about the
propriety and practicability of the legis-
lation asked for. AS yet the opposition
manifested seems to be inspired mainly
by the Standard oil company and ;he
Pennsylvania railroad, which is not
convincing proof that it is in the public
interest,

SENATOR REYBURN and the Harris
burg Telegraph remind Senator MacFar-
lane that he was sent to the Senate Ey
Bill Leeds and seem to think that he
should go out and hang himself rather
than vote any other way than Bill Leeds
desires. 1t is very likely that Leeds,
finding himself unable to elect more
pliable men, aided Mac Farlane's election
in the hope of using him and now finds
him made of better stuff than he antici-
pated which is to Mac cFarlane's credit.
Mr.. Quay once made the same mistake
when he picked out young Edward Law

FRIDAY EVENING, APRIL 10. 1888.
A Funeral FrOlfc.

TIE accident that happened In New
York at the crossing at grade OIL the l1e'
high Valley and the Philadelphia and
Reading railroad roads, is of the kind
that are sol likely to occur without strin'
gent regulations to avoid them, that
they do in fact very rarely happen be-
cause of the care taken to prevent them.
For this especial accident there seems to
have been no excuse. The regulations
of the road prohibiting trains to run in
the face OF the red signal must have
been violated by one of the engine drlv-
ers, or else the signal officer was derellct
The officers of the roads themselves
however, were manifestly in fault il
not requiring trains approaching the
crossing to slow up to an easily
checked speed. Both of these
engines came to the crossing at q
high speed. The rule is customary to
come slowly to grade crossings and II
should be one enacted by the law. In
this collision it is notable that the LIE
high Valley engine had no occasion fol
speed. 1t was out for the private use o1
the land agent of the road, to carry him
to a funeral. Quite probable the engl
neer had been having good time while
the funeral was going on, and when nc
came to return was full enough to u
rash. He seems to have undertaken Il
have race with the passenger train OF
the other road, and as his company l.
said to have had the right of'way at TIT
crossing, he hurried UP to have the sat
isfaction of compelling the passenger
train to come to stand while he cross
ell ahead of it. That funeral frolI'
of the engine driver ana land agent ha'
a sad result but there is a satisfaction
in noting that both these people wer'
among the injured. Perhaps the mex
time that the land agent goes to funer
al he will 60 in Il less ambitious way.

We have been asked Oh tso or three
occasions why we never copy any Of" The
Bad Boy" stories which originate in Peek IS
Sun, with the suggestion that they are
very "funny" and would be enjoyed by
the average reader. In reply we may say
that none of the pOrtraitures Of a " bad
boy have been copied into the Ne1 Era
for much the same reason that articles are
not copied from the Police Neses or certain
blood and thunder stories from the "yel-
low cover" school of fictitious literature.
