THE SECOND TRIAL or McQUADE.

THE SECOND TEAL OF McQUADE
The public will watch the second trial OF
McQnade, which begins to-day, with keen
eyes. Interest in the matter has been re-
doubled by the scandalous failure to secure a
conviction on the former trial, and no mistake
or false step now on the part of the prosecuting
attorneys will be lightly overlooked. 1t is of
the first Importance that care should he exer-
cised in the selection of jury To many
observers it has seemed that not so much

strengthened, and the whole case put IN
such shape that if a jury of reasonable intel
ligence is selected there can be no hesitation
in voting for co eviction on the first ballot.
There are some matters in which corrO borafive
testimony can probably be brought forward,
while it is practically certain that the defence
can be made no stronger. Actual proof OF the
payment cf money is out OF the question in
case like this The work has been done 70"
skifully. But the circumstantial evidence
can be made so strong that no jury shall dare
DO otherwise than convlct.
An important duty. too, rests upon the Re-
cor(er. The Jurors who favored McQuade's
acquittal admit that they di so, not because
thew believed him innocent, but largely
because of the Recorders charge that the tes-
timony of Fulgraff and Duffy could be thrown
out entirely if they so chose. But the testimony
of Fullgraff and Duffy, while OF course
their credibilty as witnesses is affected by
the fact that they were accOmplices and that
one Of them admitted that he had been guilty
of periury, is highly important in the chain OF
circumstantial evidence which is drawn about
the defendant. AS such 1t would seem that the
Jury were bound to consider 1t. 1t Is 10 be
hoped that the Recorder will not again make
the mistake of standing up so straight as to
lean backward. 1t would be public calamity
if there should be another failure OF justice IN
the case of McQuade, for if McQuade is not
conTicted it is hardly to be expected that any OF
Jaehne's associates will be sent to share his
fate. The District Attorney, the Judge and
the Jury have a grave duty and serious
| responsibility before them, and no failure or
shrinking from it can be tolerated.

GINRLTNG TRANSACTIONS.

The Chicago Board of Trade has surprised
many dealers and disguised some gamblers by
prohibiting tle put and call business more
wholesome opinion is evinced by this step
than prevailed in the same body some years
ago. when law of Illinois against gambling
contracts was resisted by the gram operators.
Is it not possible that this respect the dealers
of Chicago are setting an example which might
profitaby be followed by dealers in the Prod
uce Exchange, the Cotton Exchange and the
Stock Exchange of New York is it not prac-
ticable and Is it not high time to make some
change for the purpose of diminishing as far as
possible the purely gambling transactions
which are so injurious to legitimate business,
which have brought so many to rum, and which
lead some unsOphisticated country people to
consider the great business exchanges the big
gest and most harmful gambling houses in the
country
Ii will be said, of course, that gambling in
stocks or in products cannot be wholly stopped.
That Is true legitimate trade could not be car
ried on without methods which it is possible
for individuals to use, in spite Of reasonable re-
strictions, for purely gambling purposes. But
is il not right to limit the evil as far as pract-
cable Do not members who have Legitimate
business for customers who are not gamblers
realize that 1t is both expedient and their duty
to do what can properly be done to that end
The State cannot prevent house breaking or
murder, prostitution or faro playing, but 1t en-
acts laws which enable right thinking citizens
and officers of law to restrain crimes and vices
in measure and in so doing only performs Its
duty. Is it enough tor the great exchanges to
plead that they cannot secure absolute Observ-
ance of any rules against gambling in stocks
or products
There have been many failures, not few
defacations. many flights and some suicides,
within the past year, directly due to the
gambling transactions to which the open doors
of the great exchanges invite men who are
trusted with the money Of others. The whole
world knows that this temptation sweeps
from the path of honor and of useful industry
a host of men every year. Members of the
exchanges do not clear their consciences when
they say, "This sort of thing cannot be " holly
stopped, and therefore we will do nothing to
limit it. The freedom in transactions which Ia
necessary for the success OF legitimate com
merce and trade cannot be preserved without
permitting dealings which persons can make
with no other aim than TO bet on the rise or fall
of Prices. Prevention of gambling would,
therefore. hinder legitimate trade" Is that
reply more satisfactory than the ancient
answer, "Am 1 my brothers keeper III

DISASTER THROTGH C1RELESSNESS
The mining disaster ut Wilkesbarre, Penn
sylyania, in which thirty men were seriously
burned and otherwise injured, was of kind
very difficalt to prevent. disused working
in the mine VAS known TO generate gas in
dangerous quantities when there was much
water in the lower levels. To protect the mine
the owners had this working closed by heavy
door. and un this door they had printed n
warning notice against entrance to the gallery.
Yet at a time when every man at work knew
that the conditions were specially favorable to
the generation of 6re-damp in this old work
ing. oce of the miners deliberately walked into
il with his lighted lamp. and 80 produced the
exolosion which did so much mischief. The
author of the disaster has died Of his injuries
bnt I'm lis last moments he attempted to ex-
claim his action. All he could say was that he
had forgotten all about the danger, and that no
opened the door without looking at the notice.
But how can men ever be safe when working
under risks of any kind in company with COM
rades capable of such NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
As rule when accidents occur in mines the
public are disposed to suspect the owners OF

THE CORTLAND CONVENTION.

convention will be held &C Cortland to-
morrow for the purpose OF organizing a. stare
Temperapce Republican League. 1t has been
arranged by the ADti-Saloon Republican organ
;zatjcn. and il intended to be the initial step In
n movement which aims at temperance reform
through the Republican party. The Cortland
convention will be attended by consideraoie
number of prominent public men and the
churches will be well represented. Inc anu
saloon pruject may be said TO have passed already
beyond the experimental stage. 1t has demon
strated the existence of large number OF
Republicans who, while they cannot be induced
to abandon their party by the illusory induce
ments which the Prohibitionists hold out, are
profoundly convinced of the need of temper
ance reform, and have welcomed heartily this
opportunity to begin practical work for cause
they have at heart.
These Republicans clearly perceive the pos
shilites of the anti-saloon movement, and are
prepared to do their part toward securing the
best at can be attained by concentrated
action within the party. They realize the
nimsiness of the pretences mon which the Pro-
hibuionists rely, that the control of the party
is vested in an element opposed to temperance.
They know that the spirit of reform has been
dominant in the Republican party wherever its
bone and sinew have done their full duty, and
they do not admit that il has become impossible
for The same element to assert itself success
fully in directing the course of the organization.
II is to this work tnat the Cortland convention
will address itself. in another part of to-day's
| TRIBUNE appear some comments of Judge
DAVIS and Mr. Griffin upon the outlook. The
| trst-named points ont one practical step
toward temperance reform in the repeal of the
| mandamus law. The new League once fully
organized definite programme will of course
be laid down, and when the next Legislature
meets the influence of an enlightened and
organized public opinion will be brought to
bear upon that body for the furtherance of the
measures already demanded Ivy the people of
New-Yofk and for tine advancement of the
| cause of temperance generally.

to trial.
Tho Philadelphia Timer Of November IL gives an
interesting little account Of series OF incidents
that took place in the college and Of which 1t 10
safe to assume these expusions the result.
A freshman was unpopular In his own class and
was hazed by members of it. How serious the haz-
inc was is not stated; but his fraternity made the
grievance their own and sent message TO the iresh-
men saying that the matter would be orougn' Do
fore sthe faculty. This unseemly lnterieronco
naturally reused the indignation Oh the honio
youths, who accordingly broke into Tue
chapel at night with long ladders and posted Two
large crayon cartoons on the walls where tney
hung during prayers the next morning ms oio
not appeaso their Indignation; for during the Gay
there were numerous disturbances ana severai
Rotations interrupted by students VINO gam
cred under The windows and vociferously expressed
their sentiments regarding the obnoxious freshman
and his fraternity.
In the evening the faculty met In the presidents
office and mem bers Of the freshman class we're called
and examined. Meanwhile a large crowd gathered In
the campus and by singing, cheering. "cawing" ike
crows and yelling, seriously interfered with the
proceedings Janitors were sent among them aud
some of the professors took note of the leaders
from the windows. This espionage was felt to be
insulting; stone thr0wing was begun and the
windows of the room in which the faculty were as
sembIed were broken. Eight Of the freshmen I'M
plcated-whether in the hazing or the rlotlng Is
not stated-were suspended for a month and threat
eped with expulsion if the matter were not ad-
justed by that time.
This ont RI reous invasion OF students rights was
not to be endured by men who. within those same
walls had seen q woman publicly insulted for
daring to compete with men In oratory ana
had been permitted with impunity to utter
boodthirsty threats against the faculty II
their delIcacy were affronted by the presence of
colored classmate an ind gnation meeting was
held In the chapel and a petition praying for
the remission of the sentence was prepared and
signed by all the students this be reinforced by
a threat that the freshmen would leave the college
In a BODY If the " pray IT" was not granted,
Evidently the petition was not granted IN regard
TO four of the students; and now, such arguments
as they had used having failed. appeal Is made to
the law. Why parents should feel that boys
who could behave as these seem to have
done are injured by being sent home to be spanked
since spanking is not considered legitimate
part of college discipline is puzzle TO the outside
observer: and certainly no jury will believe that
there was anything about them that could be
damaged to the value of ten thousand cents.

The report of the Controller of the Currency
has much to say about the National banks, Du'
1t is without plain suggestions as to the OASIS
mon which they can be continued MIR. lren-
holm seems to be principally, and very proper
ly, impressed with the necessity OF defending
the banks against the hostile attitude OF the
Democratic majority in Congress The PROB
lem, he declares, is how to remodel the cur
rency features of the system so as to obtain
popular approval for the banks. Then ne
points out that these corporations will not exist
if thew can only do so as places of discount ana
deposits that they must be allowed TO make
profit OIL the money they handle; and that 1t
does not matter to whom the Government pays
interest on bonds. The inference from all
this IS that the Controller thinks the present
system q good one, and that any substitute for
it should be as near like the original as pos

Arguments and statistics are no longer need

the figures of the work done in the last fiscal
year. Of the 2,726 lives endangered on 3Z2
vessels in distress, only twenty seven were
lost. The value of the property to the safety
of which the Service contributed was over
$5,OoO,OOO. Thus does the Government en-
gage in works of mercy which pay even from
