we'll by the most reputable journals would have
been done with less decency by the more dis
reputable ones.
If scandalous trials arising In the law courts
are TO be reported ut ALL 1t Is altogether better
to have the work done with accuracy and dis
erection by the best Journals than it is to leave
the worst newspapers free to psnder 10 pub
lie apppetite for filth. This was THE TRIB-
UNEs view of its own duty during the Tton-
Beecher trial. But In view of the phenomenal
indecency and obscenity of recent trials in
England, notably the Dixie and Campbell
trials, 1t becomes an open question whether
il is not the duty of the courts to impose re-
strictons upon the publication of evidence 1t
is certainly grave public misfortune to have
foul details spread before thousands of eyes
and discussed in virtuous households. The
courts need not be influenced alone by the
demoralizing effects of such public atoms upon
the public in general. They my be justified
in acting for the protection OF witnesses and
the promotion of the ends of Justice. The pres
ent practice dsturbs honest witnesses and
sharpens the wits of perjurers. "They see in
the papers every day." says The Spectator I" the
precise effect of each piece of testimony and
they regulate their own accordingly" False
witnesses are enabled to study evidence in
advance, to adapt their tales to 1t and to avoid
contradictions and pitfalls. Honest witnesses
are in like manner confused, distracted and
unnerved. The ends of justice are not pro-
noted by indiscrminate publications which
tend to make every witness his own lawyer.
The English journal which we have quoted,
instead of condemning the daily press, calls
upon the bench to protect witnesses in scandal
GUS OF conspiracy cases by extending existing
rules respecting contempt Of court 1t urges
the judges to order, when necessary. that evil
dence shall not be published until the verdict
is rendered. The interest in the case would
then have passed, evidence would have to be
condensed and the evil of newspaper publica-
ton would be confined to a single day instead
of filthy story being spread over weeks. This
is an exceedingly practical suggestion.

NHARUS Split MILK

Jacob Sharp has been taking furtive glance
at the wall that encompasses his career. He
finds that there Is some very disagreeXble hand
writing upon it, and he shudders visibly as he
peruses it. The handwriting is cordial invi-
taton to Sharp to come up to Sing Sing, and as
it percolates through his consciousness he ex-
claims: "Let g take the wings of the morning
and fly with my milk-can to the uttermost part
of the earth, and there let us be tried, but not
here. not here"
That milk can was of great service to Sharp
during his examination before the Senate
Committee. The extraordinary beverage with
which it was charged rendered his powers of
forgetfulness Wonderfully acut, and copious

NOT A CASE FOR CLFVFNCY.

Governor Hill Is urged to commute the SEN
tence Of Mrs. Roxanna Druse from death to i'm
prisoDment for lie. In December, 1884 Mrs.
Druse murdered her u.band. Nothing of i'm
portance is brought to the Governors attention
that sery es to pallate the wOman's offence. 1t
is said, indeed, that Druse's hahitual brutalites
had 50 hardened his wife that she did not
realize how terrible was her crime, nut that can
hardly be regarded as a reason for tightening
her punishment In view of the revolving and
demoniacal acts abe perpetrated Had she
felled the man with some instrument she hap
pened to have in her hand in a moment when
his treatment had so exasperatcd and mad
dened her as to leave her no control over her
passion, this plea would have been entitled to
weight. But the crime she committed was q
deliberately planned murder, and the agencies
by which it was done together with the barbar-
tiles which accompanied it, show that the
woman was thoroughly wicked and dchuman-
led
In the Druse house lived the victim, his MUIR
deress, daughter, Mary, twenty years old, a
little son and a nephew of twelve named
Frank Gates. Druse had gone out before
break ast, and returning, began to find fault
with his wife about some little domestic affair.
Inc woman ueCerHlneu IO muTueT Nun, ana
called the children out of the room. She told
them her purpose and babe them help her
under threat of killing them also. She pro-
vided the nephew with revolver, directing
him to fire at her husband. She gave her
daughter Mary a noosed rope, ordering her to
throw it around his neck and hold him. She
herself took an axe, and thus equipped they
returned to the room where the man was still
sitting. The nephew fred twice, the girl
lassooed her father and dragged him to the floor,
and the woman, grabbing the pistol from her
nephew's hand, emptied all its chambers into
her husbands body. Still alive, he begged for
mercy. but with the axe she hacked at him till
his head was cut from his body. Then the
woman and her daughter cut his flesh from his
bones, boiled it and fed it to the hogs.
All these horrible details came out upon the
trial tn, ough the confession of the children.
They all confessed except the woman, who re-
manned obdurate. The only reason upon which
the Governor is asked to commute her Just
sentence is that she is a woman. Certainlylthis
Is to be considered. The idea of hanging a
woman is repulsiye to the last degree, but the
circumstances attending this particular case
make iU one in which clemency would be mis-
placed. Mrs. Druse is not woman. She can
hardly be called human. The same argument
made for her would forbid the killing of a
female hyena.

REPORTS OF SCANDAL Trials.

| The close of the Campbell divorce suit nat
urally suggests reflections upon the functions
and duties of journals in reporting trials OF this
| sensational class Our London correspondent s
| structures upon the conduct of the English
| press in printing full accounts of the proceed
ings appeared most opportunely on the day
when the verdict was received. Those strict
ures were inspired by a conscientious regard
for public morals and social decOrum. We are
very glad that he spoke as plainly and as Wig
OrOusly as he did in condo inning the publicity
given for several weeks to what was foul, in
decent and scaEdalous. We are encouraged by
the warm approval with which his denunca-
tions are received by our courteous neighbor,
The Mail and Erpress, to hope that the subject
of reporting scandalous trials will be seriously
discussed by the American press. That subject
has been admirably opened as question of
public morals by Mr.. Smalley. We have no
desire to break the force of his indignant re-
monstrance against the publication from day
to day of so much that Is indecent and obscene.
At the same time, there are practical aspects of
the case which are not to be ignored.
The Campbell case s one which has attracted
widespread interest in England owing to the
high social position of those involved in it and
the glaring evidences of infamous conspiracy
against beautiful, accomplished and virtuous
wOIDap. The London press in giving full re-
ports of the proceedings has followed a GUS
tom sanctioned by established usage. That
press has never been In the habit of filling it's
columns with sensational accounts OF crimes
and scandals but 1t has printed for years full
reports of all important cases In the law courts.
The social prominence of the Campbells and
the pressing demand from the public for de-
tailed information of the trial have induced
the London J urnals to devote as much space
to the case az was given by the American press
to the Titon- Beechcr trial few years ago.
We do not think it Is wholly just to charge
those jour nails with being influenced solely by
mercantile and sordid motives In publishing full
reports. 1t has long beef one of the canons
of London journalism that whatever occurred
In Her Majesty's law courts was public bust
ness which must be faithfully recorded.
The usual rule was followed In this case. If
the journals of the highest standing had not
furnished the reports. baser sheets would have
printed them with iess caution and greater
indecency. On practical c0mmOn-sense
grounds, "a The London Spectator judicionsIy
remarks, 1t Is not expedient for public opinion
10 be too severe with tho newspapers. HNoth-
Ing would be gained" it adds, "if Tho Times was
silsnt on the Dixie case while
! million broadsides with all details were being
'old for fsrthng." What was done none too |
