The experts who have been investigating the
question of light and ventilation in the new
aQueduct in .heir report confirm the statements
of the aqueduct employees. Why "experts"
should be required to do this would puzzle most
persons to find out, unless the Aqueduci Com
missiOners distrust their own men. But now
that all agree that the light and ventilation
need Improvement, il will be interesting to
see whether the Commission will daily further
with the matter or use energy enough to en-
for.e. its orders.
Mr.. POwderly seems to nave aroused yigor-
Dus opposition to himself on the part of the
SOCIALISTS. This ought to increase the respect
for him of honest workmen. One thing is GER
taiD that no labor organization which allows it
sell to be ruled by Socialists and Anarchists
can have the confidence of any la1 ge number of
persons in this country. The soil is>Ot favor
able to the dissemination of SOciallstlc ideas,
and Mr.. POwderly has the good sense to appre-
ciate that fact
Mr.. GladstOne's seventy seventh birthday
finds him less overwhelmed with public cares
than was the Gaze year ago, but with better
health. Apparently he is still good for many
years public service, and it will be fortunate
for Ireland if this should prove to be the case.
Among the chief political figures in Europe
the Emperor Of Germany ia probably the only
one who is the senior of Mr.. Gladstone. The
Emperor will soon be ninety-twO, and it is to
be Hoped that Mr.. Gladstone will live to all
equally vigorous old age.
Public Printer Benedict begins to fear that
he will not be confirmed. 1t is hard to see how
the Senate can confirm him and pay strict re-
gard to the law. This requires that the Public
Printer @must be a practical printer, and
versed in the art of hook binding" Only a
pretended reformcr would have disreRarded
this law, as it is necessary that the head of this
mechanical bureau should understand his
business. 1t is some credit to Mr.. Benedict
that he begins to appreciate this fact.
Mr.. Chamberlain has made up bis mind to do
what he can to prevent dissolution of the
English Parliament, but it is doubtful if that
will amount to much. His first move is to en-
deavOr to persuade Lord Harrington to accept
q Cabinet office. That gentleman's friends
seem TO be distrusttul of ChamberlaIn's adj
vice. Coalition Cabinets are never popular,
and the latest reports do not indicate any
growth of feeling in their favor in England
Such makeshift would not be likely to last
long.
Senator Morgan. Of Alabama, In speaking to
the Boston merchants last night, had good
word to say for the National Banks. He said
that it is the clear duty of Congress to preserve
the present barking systeni. Unfortunately
Mr.. Morgan's party associates do not act as il
they appreciated this duty. Every time
needed legislation is pressed in behalf of the
-
decided spirit OF unfrendiness. No greater
calamity could befall the country than the
destruction Of the National banking system.

CHANGES OF VENUE.

Jacob Sharps emotions upon learning the
decision of Mr.. Justice Barrett upon his request
for change Of venue will probably DC those
of regret rather than OF disappointment. The
Judge indicated plainly that he did not Look
with favor upon his application. Mr.. Stickney,
Sharp's counsel, made all he could ont Of the
circumstances upon which the appeal is based.
His argument was clever, but when 1t is
analysed it entirely fails to prove that there
can be even serious doubt that fair and i'm
partial trial can be had in this county. And
vet Mr.. Stickney Is almost right 10 declaring
that if Sharp's case is not one that demands
change of venue, no such case can be made out
The fact of the matter Is that tne circum-
stances which would Justify judge in taking a
case out of this county for trial into another
would have to be very extraordinary. We
cannot fancy any condition of affairs that
would warrant it. The statute under which it
is permissible was not made for great and
cosmopolitan city. In he country, where q
case eycites remarkable public interest, where
everybody knows everybody else and feels o
concern more or less personal in everybody
else's affairs, IL might well be tt at the COM
mInity would be arrayed into distinct bodies OF
partisans, which would render a defendants
chance of proper trial highly doubtful. But
in great city men are too busy to take a per-
sOnal view of any ones transgressions. 1t is
that very fact which makes Sharps crime
possible.
Undoubtedly the resentment and Indignation
which the public feels toward Sharp and his
crowd is strong and general. But it is not OF
that character which would unfit any man,
otherwise qualified for jury duty, from passing
judgment upon the legal evidence submitted
from the witness-stand. Undoubtedly, too,
every intelligent man mo has kept himself in
formed concerning this inIQuity believes that
Sharp is guilty. But hosts of intelligent men
have not kept themselye informed, and even
If they have. any one capable of realizing the
obligation of Jurors oath understands that
the issue he must pass upon is that involved in
the evidence he hears while in the jury box.
Out of the 10000 men whose names a;e in the
County Clerks Office not one in 500 will look
upon Sharp as a personal enemy. The twenty
peremptOry challenges accorded o defendant
in a cose of this magnitude are more than
enough to rid the box of evcr> juror who can
be presumed to entertain sentiment of per-
sOnal hostility to him.
All experience goes to show that change Of
venue from great city to the country is an
absur lily In no case which has excited a
public sentiment similar to that now felt con-
cerniDg these bribery crimes can it be shown
tat the jury which convicted the offender
was moved by reconceived prejudice.

THE PERVERSITY or FIREARMS.

There has been an unusual crop of untimely
deaths from the too previous revolver of late.
la one day a boy killed himself, mother killed
her daughter. and a son killed his mother, all
by inadvertence. Now, it is certainly true that
people who handle firearms carelessly are ex-
ceedingy foolish, and that people who leave
firearms where they can be handled by
children or women are cupably negligent.
But perhaps sufficient account is not taken of
the perversity manifested by firearms them
selves a perversity transcending in the disas-
trous nature of its consequences that of mani
mate things generally. All who are accus-
toned to handle revolvers or shOt-guns know
how apt such weapons are to fail at critical
iunctures. The householder tries to shoot
burglar and the chambers stick or the hammer
falls fruitlessly. The policeman tries to wing I"
a fugitive criminal, and has similar expert
ence. The sportsman loses his quarry time and
again through the perversity Ut his gun. And
even when the revolver on duty does go of,
nine times out OF ten it misses what it was
a med at, OF if it hits anything brings down
some innocent bystander.
But when the revolver and shotgun are so TO
speak, of duty, nothing can escape them. Then
they are set on hair triggers. Then their aim
is deadly. Then they go off almost before they
are touched. Then they do an appalling amount
of execution. Let but boy a woman pick
one of them up, and in the twinking of an eye
he or she will be corpse or a homicide. No
theory but that of the conscious perversity of
these weapons can satisfactorily account for
their haif-heartcdness when it is sought to
employ them usefully, and the malignant
activity with which they spring to their muir
derous work when nothing but mischief can be
done by them. @There is something" in this
matter which, as the divine w 'lliams remarks,
"passeth show" Mr.. Herbert Speucets
evolutionary philosophy fails to account for the
diabolical procliyites of firearms when loaded
and put by. Things which don't 60 Oft when
they ought to, and always go off when they
ought not to- cannot be acquitted of at least
that form Of sub-consciousness which oar
friends the TheOsophists ascribe to the ee-
mentals.

The Editor of The Red,coOd City Cali Times and
Gazette prints an open letter addressed TO number
of prominent citizens of California, asking them to
use their abilities and influence in procuring the
seques.ratlon of tho San Mateo County redwood
forests public Or national park. The argu-
ments advanced in behalf of the project are
ta,nly desor-rns of consideration. Tho
tract in question contains of the few groups of
the mdgnif cent seqaoid giganted or giant trees

grOwths are disappearing rapidly under the ad-
vances of the prosaIc saw-mi They. together
with the scenery in which they grow. constitute
unique spectacle. II may well be held that such
natural treasure ought to be preserved III trust for
the whole Nation. The Times and Gazette states that
as yet inroads have been made upon the
Tedwoods and that the property probably be
acquired at a comparatively moderate cost,
whereas if the purchase is delayed there will be
fewer OF the "big trees" to protect, and the mn
dertaklng will involve larger outlay. 1t would be
a pity If sequoia grove so near one of the great
cities of the world were to be cut down,
and If tho region IN which they grow is
made a public park it hardly donb full
that it will prove attractive to tourists
as to become Of the regular show places like
the Yellowstone Park ard the Yosemite Valley
The Editor of The Times aud Gazette is entitled 10
credit for his suggestion. which it may be hoped
will have the desired effect.
