sharp point in calling the Presidents at
tention to the law which makes II
criminal offense for a citizen of the
United States to correspond with for
eign official on affairs Of politics that
may affect popular conduct The author
of the Murch:son letter may, therefore
be brought before court and the guilty
purpose of the trick ferreted out If the
author cannot be found the suspicion
that the letter was a trick of the Repub-

Just think how the cunning tricksters are

The brutal murder of Policeman Bren-
nan in New York by dangerous crook
"known as Handsome Charley" sug-
rests some thoughts on our ideas OF pun
ishment of criminals.
This wretch began his career Of crime
when In his teens; and often serving
term In prison, came out only dou0ly
bent On more crime, and The mora
question Is, should not law take obsery
snce of naturally vile nature and re-
strain it in prison or destroy III Men
may commit crime from accident, mis-
take or passion, but the criminal annals
shows that there Is class OF humanity
Incapable Of anything good, bent on evil
aud in fact the devils own imps in hu
man form.
- Handsome Charley was one Of these
but II requires a cold-blooded murder Il
put him in prison for life or destroy hin

SOFT appears from all the Metropolitan
newspapers to-day that our first dag
nosis of the Sackville affair was right and
that il was quite safe to rely on tie Presi'
dents well known sound judgment to
give the proper character to our govern
menrs position without little more "r
less than calling politely for the ineyila-
BILE logical result of foreign Minis
ter's attempt to interfere, even by ad'
vice. in the affairs of the country
to which he was accredited The
method OF Lord Sackyille's with
drawal is of little account as it is already
generally known that he is no longer to
he the minister Of England at Washing
ton. If the gilt-edged etiquette Of pro-
fessjonal diplomacy must be the constant
ornament and frill of international &C
ton, why, let all the chapters OF The act
be laced and frilled with nigh courtesy
This is generally done even in the pre-
iiminary discussions that iead 10 war
and as in the case OF indi'
yiduals. the nation which is the
most careful, cool and polite is quite GER
lain TO be the frmest and most de-
termined. Besides this there is not the
SLIGHTEST excuse for any official gravity
being uselessly given to what is merely
the prank Of a weak man in getting him
self trapped.
The President put his action on ihe
ground Of maintaining friendly relations
between this country and Great Britain
and that TO this end Lord sackVille
should not stand on the order OF his GO
ing but resign at once.
