lature OF such State, for the benefit Of the

cise Of ordinary care. Q necessary conse-
Quential injury to land within It's borders, NO

This conclusion is sustained by the weight
OF authority In the State and Federal courts.
But the peculiar question 10 the case under

Injury caused by the work In Connecticut

Some New Figures.

With the exception Of the speech Of Mr.
DoRsHEIMKR Of New York, the first effort in
favor OF the MORRISON Tariff bill to attract
any particular attention was delivered last
week by Mr.. FRANK HuRp tho Ohio free
trader. Mr.. HURD's rhetorical powers are
FREQ and flowing. He also has the decided
advantage, for . statesman who desires
to advocate the passage Of the new Tariff
bill. Of not caring two cents which way the
election goes next November, 80 far a. con-
Germs the success Of Democrats or Repub-
licaDs.
In tho rivalrlss Of these two party organi-
sations he takes little or no interest He Is
simply free trader. and all the varying
ideas and circumstances Of politics, which
are naturally evolved from the maintenance
III q popular government are TO him of insig-
nifcance when compared with the question
of giving to this country free trade policy
Thus Mr.. HURD Is able to enter into the tariff
discussion In tho House Of Representatives
with an unrestrsined resolve to do what he
likes, no matter whom 1t may help or whom
It may hurt. But, even with this allowance
II IL difficult to comprehend the figures n
the following extract from his speech:
"0h could barn into the brain Of the inanuactur
ere Of Aneries sentence II would be this: Turn
fre this constant introspecton to the OF the
world. Down with walls! Out to the sea! There arc
s0ooOOOo people who want 10 buy what you make

Where arc these 2OOO, ZOO, 900 people to be
found who are ready to buy our agricultural
and manufacturing implements ? All the sta
tistics available now show that the popua-
ton Of tho whole world. the United States In
cluded, Is loss than l,AOO. 100000. Apparently
the tariff reformers propose to legislate not
only for this country and all other countries,
but for the sun and moon and stars as well.
To statesmen OF such universal ideas IL Is no
wonder that tho defeat Of the Democracy In
1854 should seem Of such comparative insig-
nihcance.

The Great Guilt Of the Woman.

Both tho colored man and the colored
woman who were concerned In the assault
upon Miss HARVEY In the Sloane fats, have
now been sentenced to long terms in prison.
They have each been sent up for eighteen
years and half. and II they serve out their
time they will have passed from youth to
middle age when they again get free.
The conviction Of the woman was inevi-
table after that OF her lover. for It was made
evident that she knew Of the crime and aided
In It's commission. Nor did she try to escape
at his expense. She only protested that they
we're both innocent. and practically acknowl-
edged that they were In the same boat II
he WAS guilty. so was she.
The woman was faithful to her lover, and
stood by him to the last She practically ill.,
vicod for herself tho same punishment meted
out to him. Criminal ss she Is. she s, there
fore. not lacking in womanly fidelity.
But her punishment will not be greater
than her deserts. She was an even worse
offender than the man. for she betrayed the
confidence Of her employers in assisting her
lover In his assault Whether she planned
tho crime herself. as Judge COMING seemed
to suspect, or only connived at 1t, she was a
twofold offender. domestic servant who
gives thief the benefit Of her familiarity
With household, is an especially dangerous
offender, and. when her guilt Is proved, she
deserves the severest punishment.
This woman, GERTRUDE ASH, has also done
serious injury to female colored servants
generally. She has excited distrust OF them,
so that colored men have written to us
protesting against the frequent disposition
to make a whole class suffer because Of an
outrage committed by single individual.
Her offence was, accordingly. graver In its
consequences than that Of the man whom
she introduced into the household she
served, and her punishment is not too heavy.
