The Maxwell Case.

tst Louis Medical and Surgical Journall
If ever there was q case wherein the
law should take its course; wherein
there Is not u single redeeming element
In the history of the crime, the beha-
vior of the individual or tho attendant
circumstances; wherein all decept men
and women should unite In refusing to
petition for pardon or Communication of
sentence, 1t is the one known as the
Maxwell case, or that Of the man
Brooks, now under sentence Of death
Tor the murder of Prellcr at the South
crn Hotel in this city upwards of two
years ago. Not only did this double
dyed criminal murder the man who
had befriended him and rob his dead
body, but he maligned bis memory in
manner so foul that It cannot even
be alluded to in professional journal.
He has had fair trial, his case has
been passed upon by the Supreme
Court of Missouri and of the United
States, and yet his paid attorneys arc
dcluging the country with petitions for
signatures asking the Governor Of
Missouri to interfere to stop the pro-
cess of law. Every physician In St.
Louis has received one Of these docu-
ments, and for the honor of the pro-
fession we are glad to say that few, ii
any, have paid any attention to 1t. We
have no patience with the mawkish
sentimentality which is the character
istic Of weak minds, and which inya-
riably expends itself upon those least
worthy of sympathy. II the erlme
had been committed in England instead
Of Americs, Brooks would have been
hanged within three months Of bis
capture, instead of living for two years
at the expense of a community whose
laws he outraged and whom he and
his relatives and paid attorneys have
pefsistently maligned. We sincerely
hope that no physician win lend his
uame to any petition for pardon, res
pitc OF communication Of sentence.

THE FACTS In The CASE.
IClarion-Ledger.l

In his address before the late Immi-
grafton Convention, Captain Hardy
ventured the opinion that more had
been accomplished since Gen. Lowry
had been Governor than during the
administration of any other Governor
of the State-meaning that the growth,
progress and development Of resources
had been greater than heretofore
that railroads, factories and industries
generally had bcen largely increased
during the past years.
The Appeal, relishing nothing that
commends the State administration,
as en- offset to the opinion Of Captain
Hardy, says "that nearly all Of the
existing debt of the State-amounting
to almost four millions-has been
made, and the school lands lost, during
Governor Eowry's administration
che entire indebtedness Of Missis-
sippi is. $S,752,9O4.Ol. From this may
be deducted $2,s92,65s.s4, known as
the non-payables debt, which existed
long before Governor Lowry's first
term.
The payable debt of this State, on
January LIST, 1888, after deducting cash
in the treasury, was 81, ,OSS, ,266.4o. The
payable debt, above the cash In the
treasury on January l, 1882. was SS22,-
6l5.11. Deduct this from the 81, ,0SS,-
266.4O and it leaves S760,651.2s. If
the editor of the Appeal would consult
the treasurer's report further, he would
learn how this amount accumulated:
LIST. A reduction in 1882 Of the tax
levy of one half min, making $4,000
per annum.
I'd. An additional appropriation Of
100000 annually to the common
schools.
Sd. The falling off Of receipts from
the sale of liquor licenses in five years,
Si7S,795.ss.
Now you have the increased ipdebt-
edness and how il came about accord.
ing to the State Treasurer, who was
called on for the information.
The Appeal has talked recklessly,
lost its head If it ever had any-within
the last two years. 1t says the school
lands shave been lost during Governor
Lowry's administration
This will be news to Mississippi and
the balance of mankind. We enter
our protest against the publication o.
such nonsense and folly. II Is without
the semblance of truth, and the utter
ance demonstrates an ignorance abso
lutely pitiablc In o paper claiming to
have thousands of Mississippi readers
If the Appeal alludes to the larg'
body of land In the Delta known o.
the @liquidating leyee board land,
and sold by the commissioners unde
decree rendered by Chancellor Pey
ton, II must understand that the sal
was made befoTA Governor Lowry
first term commenced.
If allusion Is made to the pine land
that for years were subject to entry a
twenty-five cents per acre, let 1t b
understood that through Gov. Lowrl
these lands were advanced to Que dol
Jar per acre.

GREAT EATERS.
The Eating Capacity of Some of
the Worlds Great Men.

Inc Eatlng capacity VI SOLuc VI
the Worlds Great Men.
Saturday Review.
''The eaters of my time" wrote
Careme in 1882, ''were the Prince de
Talleyrand, Murat, Junot, FOntanes,
the Emperor Alexander, George w.,
and the Marquis de Cussy. Men who
know how to eat are as rare as great
cooks. Look at the great musicians and
physicians" he goes on with enthu-
siasm. ''they are all astronomers; wit
ness Rossini and Boieldieu, Broussais,
and Joseph Roques." The last named
backed this up in his treatise on Edible
Mushrooms, maintaing that doctors who
make name-COrvisart, Broussais, and
half dozen athers-are epicures for
their patients sake as well as
their own. They can get a
convalescent to eat when nobody else
can, a fact which explains their
success. Modern London, too, we are
medical gourmets. De Cussy-it is vain
to expect an authority from him-said
that Leonardo da Vinci, TintOrettO,
Paolo VerOneSe, BacciO, Bandinelli,
Guido and Raphael were all noted gOur-
mands, a fact which has not yet perhaps
had it's weight in estimating the naive
abstinence of the pre-Raphaelites, who
might even have been yegetarians al
most to man to judge from the type of
their landscape gardening. None Of the
foregoing great men had the beeauti-
tude of dying at table like some of the
smaller fry. DR.. CASUALLY, man with
wit and a palate so often met with in
the Almanach DIES Commands, died
with champagne glass in his hand and
joke in his mouth. GrimOd de la
Reyniere's great grandfather's death
was exactly alike-in fit of laughter,
his lips still wet with Ay. Here is
fact for Mr.. Gallon; financial instincts,
too, were hereditary in this family of
afarmers-general of the revenue.

Romance and Reality.
Buffalo Courier.


1t is calculated that there are in the
neighborhood of 1888 young men in
Buffalo with real estate on their hands
which they wish to dispose of a high
figure-a figure that will enable them
to retire from business and play pool
all the rest of their lives. But the motto
should be small profits. quick sales. A
young man bought a lot on Bouck
avenue last year at this time; he paid
S12a foot. A month later he sold it for
SIS foot, and bought new suit. Then
he invested the remainder in an East
Buffalo lot at SIS foot. In June he let
it go at $50, and proposed to his best
girl the same evening.
She wanted time to think about it,
and while she was thinking he bought
another East Buffalo lot for $40, and be-
fore the glorious Fourth he sold it for
$50. The girl accepted him that same
night. After paying for the engage
ment ring out of the profits. he bought
a lot out on Main street this side the
belt line for S35 a foot. He's wondering
now whether to sell it at $50 and get
married or wait and sell it for $50. The
girl says she can wait if he can, so
they're sitting on the fence waiting for
the price to touch $50, in which case
they'll get married ten minutes later.

DR., Mary Angry.

There is one woman in Washington
whose name has not appeared in the
proceedings of the women's council,
and who, by the way, is very much an
noyed that it has not. This is DR.. Mary
Walker. | saw her at the leading
photograph gallery of Washington yes
terday, where, in big OvercOat and a
big plug hat, she was lecturing the
clerks in a very little voice that seemed
to come from the heels of her top-bOots.
She was angry because they did not
have her pictures on sale. She sQueaked
out the words that she had met a num-
Der of persons who wanted to buy her
picture, and that if the photographer
would have some struck off she would
come down and write her autograph
over the top of them, in order that they
might meet with better sale. She
was very indignant that there was no
chance to buy her pictures. and her
short, stringy black hair quivered with
rage and her little bead-like eyes flashed
as she squeaked out her complaint. The
fair photograph clerk told her that there
would be some printed instanter, and
DR.. Mary, pulling tighter the knot
under her chin that fastened the black
silk handkerchief over her ears, gave
her cane twirl, kicked the skirts of
her overcoat with her tight pantalooned
limb and went out.

Irish Savings Banks.

London World.
q The statistics of deposits in Irish saw
ings banks, given in the register gen.
erals recent report, prove the truth of
my statement that, speaking generally,
Irish poverty is a myth. Ever since 1881
deposits have been increasing continu-
ously, the total increase amounting to
nearly million and quarter sterling.
The precise figures are, on Dec. 81, 1881,
e3. 765, 900, and on Dec. 81, 1887, e., 975,-
600. The money In these banks repre-
sents small Savings, and comes almost
entirely from the agricultural
population, which, be it OBJ
served, has diminished during
the period. The startling state
ment may therefore be made with con-
fidence that the tenant farmers of Ire
land, as class, are considerably richer
than they were six years ago. and it
may be asserted with equal confidence
that the same could not be said of any
other class of the community in the
limited Kingdom.
