4 CROOKED JUDICIARY,

There are great many fine lawyers and
eminent jurists III the state of New York,
yet, notwithstanding this fact. some of the
crookedest judicial decisions to be found in
the annals Of jurisprudence come from the
bench of that state. A notable illustration
of this truth is found in the proceedings of
the court of general sessions of New York
city last week on a trial of man indicted
for shooting woman with intent to kill.
The accused man had gone into the wom-
ans house to talk with her about some
trouble she was having with her relatives.
lie quarreled with her and shot her there
Although the wound was supposed to be
mortal at the time the woman finally re-
covered. The man was arrested and released
on bail. After 0twenty months he was
brought to trial and on motion of the de-
PENDANTS counsel the courtrefused to admit
the testimony upon which conviction could

The Sudden Change in a Mans
Opinion Caused by Claws.
Memphis Avalanche.
Half dozen steamboatmen stood around
the bar in Madison street saloon yester-
day evening, having just disposed of a
round of drinks.
One of them was busily engaged fasten-
ing gold-plated collar, to which was at
tached some six feet of brass chain, about
the neck of miserable-looking black cat
which seemed frightened out of its senses
by the glare of light and the strange sur
roundings. AS he worked at the collar
the steamboatman was saying:
1--WE had as fine a cat as ever caught
rat, but on our last trip up
the St. Francis the blamed thing committed
suicide; yes, sir, took fit and jumped over
board right before the wheel. Now, Pun
Judge of cats, and | picked out this one
because 1 know it is not subject to fits.
Golamitey what's the natter"
The cause of the steambOatman's pro-
family was that even while he spoke the cat
on the counter suddenly leaped to the floor
and began running round and round, wind
ing the chain about the legs of the speaker,
and splitting and clawing at everything in
sight, finally curling up on the floor rigid
and stiff-in fact the worst case Ok cat ut
ever seen.
The man who knew all about cats said
not a word. but sadly ordered the drinks
for the crowd.

THE w1LKEsBARRE DISASTER

The mine disaster at Wilkesbarre is in
vested with peculiar horror. The uncer-
tainty of the fate of the twenty-three young
men who were caught within the mine
whether they were crushed at once by the
falling dirt or whether they were entOmbed
alive-adds to the horror of the disaster. 1t
is terrible thought that they may yet be
alive within their prison living, or rather
dying, from day to day with faint hope
that rescue may yet come, and yet to know,
as we do, that all further effort to rescue
them has been abandoned. 1t would be a
thousand-fold better if we knew certainly
that they were dead. And even more dis
tressing still has been the agonizing sus-
pense of mothers, wives, sisters and chill
dren, as they walked the streets of the town
hour after hour, day after day, hoping
against hope, and praying that the brave
men at work throwing away the fallen dirt
might reach them in time to save the lives
which were SO precious to them, And then
when the mine officials made the announce
ment yesterday that the rescuing party
would be compelled to abandon their work,
the dismay which fell upon the grief
stricken friepds and relatives was pitiable.
Our dispatches convey most touching de-
scriptiOn of the affair. If the friends only
knew that the men were dead, what re-
lief it would be to them. If they are still
alive, what horrible fate is theirs.

VOICE OF THE PEOPLE.
A SECULAR VIEW OF 1T.
The Wade Murder and the Vile Muir

The Wade Murder and the Vile Muir
der-asreeding Dens.
To the Editor of the Globe:
It is announced that the negro brothel at
which murder was committed on Saturday
night will not be closed, because it was not
to blame for the murder.
Throw aside all sentimentalism, all
religion, all morality, and let us look at
the secular aspect of this case am not a
church member, nor Prohibitionist, nor a
sentimentalist. l am a taxpayer. We
make bargain with this den to allow it to
run for money consideration of s. per
month or year. This is the credit side.
We get murder trial. and are taxed to
pay for Knoxville, Tenn, darkey-how
much? Van Solen's murder trial cost us
$4,000. Another trial of man who shot
his wife at the American house some years
ago cost us about S., 0O9. This seems to be
about the price of murder trials. Murder
trials and all our criminal costs are gener-
ally the outgrowth of the low dives where
bad characters of both sexes cOngregate.
This is the debit side.
If this low dive is not to blame in this
case, the logical conclusion is they are not
to blame in any case. If so, why. close
them in any case? Is this true2 Were
these dens not running wide open would
this murder have occurred? Not to blamel
Were the gambling houses to
blame for tempting young men
to gamble? If not, why were they closed?
If these low houses of prostitution are not
to blame for tempting men to meet there
to inhame their passions with whisky, and
cut each others Threats, will not the same
logic excuse the gambling houses as not to
blame for debauching the young men of the
city? Now, as a question of taxation, I
say let us raise the license of these houses
also the license of saloons, high enough to
pay the costs we taxpayers incur for the
crimes which grow out of these places as
naturally as the blossom grows out of the
bud. Taxpayers demand this of your
aldermen. Call a mass-meeting and let
your voices be heard. Aldermen, have the
pluck to be men and do your duty. Your
mayor has set you the example by an
nouncing his willingness to favor higher
license for saloons. The first of January is
here now in few days, when you can fix
licenses for the next year. If sporting
houses" and saloons must run, and it seems
so decided, then let them pay their own ex-
penses Don't saddle them On the tax
payers. If it raises the prices of these
favorite vices. all the better for our young
men. These sink-holes make enough to pay
their share of taxes. They are too cheap
at present, whether viewed from a moral
standpoint or the commercial standpoint of
dollars and cents. l think speak the senti-
ments OF 10, 900 taxpayers.

NEUROLOGICAL.

The hydrophobia craze still sweeps over
the eastern part of the United States. Every
body who wants an excuse to go to Paris
coaxes dog to bite him. In fact, the in
stances of dog-bitten people are becoming
too numerous to inspire confidence in the
belief that the dogs are really mad. To the
minds of most people it will occur that this
is the wrong season of the year for rabid
dogs. There has long been an impression
that rabies in dog resulted from the infu-
ence Of the reign of the dog star. This er-
TOR has been dispelled by some recent sta
tistics. Records Of the veterinary schools
at Lyons and Abort show that during a
period of ten years the cases observed at
Abort were twenty in January and sixteen
in August. OF $3.50 of canine rabies re-
ported by DR.. BLATCHFoRD to the Ameri-
can Medical association there occurred Cos
in autumn, 5s7 in winter, 704 in spring and
621 in summer. According to these figures
the seasons have nothing to do with the de-
velopment of hydrophobia, and the dog-star
theory is a superstition.

full, yet the young face made up in sweet
ness what it lacked in grace. In manner
she is graceful without art. Each word
and look imparts modesty and ease. Her
voice is as soft and delicately clear as the
warbling of bird. She is the American
queen of song, and because she is Ameri-
can we are proud of her.

own troops were deficient in drill and dis
cipline A wise king sits down and counts

MILAN preferred to take chances. 1t is
possible that by the time Senator BECK re-
turns from his invasion of the administra-

fesson of the failure of his campaign
BECK and Milan will both be wiser men
by the result of their experiences.

INDIAN WHEAT.

In prospect of the severe competition
that American wheat will have in the future
from the product of India, ex-Gov.
WALLER, our consul general at London,
advises American producers to grow more
oats and barley for the export trade. He
thinks it probable that the supply of Indian
wheat for export will increase from
year to year, owing to the development of
the industry and of the railway system in
that country by means of British capital
1t is shown in this connection that the
threatened destruction of the American
wheat-growing industry is due to the opera
ton of the grain gamblers in this country.
Indian wheat cannot compete with the
American product in fair open market
At the same price the English will
buy the American wheat all the
time in preference to the Indian wheat, be-
cause it is better, But owing to the opera
tons of the American grain spectators
European dealers could not rely upon the
supply of our wheat or the stability of
prices, for they learned that the price of
our wheat was fixed by speculation rather
than by legitimate trade. 1t was in conse-
quence of this fact that more attention was
paid to the development of the wheat in
dustry in India. Thus it is that the Ameri-
can wheat dealers have in effect killed the
goose that laid the golden egg, for by their
gambling operations they have caused the
foreign consumer to develop the agricultural
resources of other regions that are
now formidable rivals. If India indeed
proves to be the successful competitor in the
wheat market there are only two things left
for the American farmers to do. One is to
adopt the suggestion of Consul General
WALLER and raise other cereals for export
and the other is to secure the passage Of
state and national laws to prohibit gam
bling in breadstuffs. If this be done, after
a few years the superiority of our American
wheat will force it to the front, and with
grain speculation abolished in this country
it will be able to keep the lead. Under
such conditions it is possible to drive In
dian wheat ont of the markets of the
world. But until the grain syndcates are
bursted and grain gambling made penal
offense there is but little use to attempt to
keep American wheat in competition with
the cheap product Of India.

be had on the grouud that it would bring to
light facts that, in the interest of public
morality, ought not to be disclosed, as
if public morality could be more seriously
damaged than by the refusal of court of
justice to convict a murderer. The real
reason why the testimony was not admitted
was that it would have involved some prom
inent citizens of the city in a scandal. But
this was not the only remarkable feature
of this case. 1t is stated in the reports that
the judge informed the prisoner that while
his prompt conviction year and a half ago
might have had some effect upon the GRIM
inal classes the effect at this late day would
be very slight; also that because of the long
delay in bringing the case to trial the pub
lie had very little interest in the case. No
one but New York judge could tell what
benefit these facts would work for man
whose guilt was clear and deserved punish
ment. In the light of such rulings from
New York court, it is not so much mat
ter of surprise that the highest judicial
tribunal of that state should have rendered
the recent oleOmargarine decision.

CHECKING DEPREDATIONs,

The presidents message to congress
transmitting communication from the in
terror department with reference to timber
depredations indicates that the administra-
ton is going to protect the Indian reser-
vations.' The two bills drafted by Secretary
LAMAR and submitted with his commune
cation, one to make it penal offense to cut
or destroy any timber on such lands. and
the other likewise making it penal offense
to trespass on such lands. both punishable
by fine and Imprisonment, are almost sme
to pass congress. With these amendments
to the present law the president will be in
position to urge with vigor the policy that
he has heretofore announced in regard to
Indians. Heretofore the Indians, in many
cases. have been harrassed by trespassers
and depredatros with violence. With these
provocations removed there is no reason
why they should not maintain more ami
able mood and thus facilitate the work of
the government into moulding them into a
civilized life.
