TIE MAXWELL CASE.

Governor Morehouse has quite properly re-
fused to grant any further delay in the case
of MAXWELL the murderer, who is sentenced to
be hanged to-day. There has never been a
crime affordng less excuse for interference
with the normal course of the law. The muir
der committed by Maxwell was peculiarly
atrocious one His victim, Preller, was not
only his friend but his benefactor lie had
invited Maxwell to travel with him, and was
paving all his expenses. Under these circun-
stances the criminal, himself an educated man
with an honorable profession, plotted the as
sassination and robbery Of his host with cold
deliberaton, and put the plot into execution
with a calmness and nerve indicating absolute
beartIessness. Having killed his trusting com
rade. he crammed the yet warm body into
trunk, seized all the dead mans money and
personal property and fed to New-Zealand'
where he was caught and whence he was extra
ditcd. At no time docs the murderer appear
TO have exhibited the least remorsc for his
crime. though no doubt he was sorry enough
TO have been caught. In the whole case there
is not and never has been a single extenuating
circumstance.
This cruel. crafty treacherous assassin and
thief has nevertheless been able to stave oil
the execution of his sentence between three
and four years. His relatives and friends have
employed able counsel, who have for the hun
dredth time illustrated the facility with which
justice may be paralyzed where money is forth
coming to pay for the adroit use OF the In
Vulnerable modes of evasion and procraStina-
ton available under cumbrouS, involved and
defective statutes. The last resort was an APP
peal from the British Government, and an ap-
peal for which no justification existed. The
pretence of fresh evidence was disingenuous
There was no fresh evidence, nor could there
have been any which could alter the proven
fact of Maxwelrs blood outlines. This man
ought to have been hanged at least two years
ago. His avoidance of the gallows all this
time has been practical condemnation OF the
law. 1t would have been nothing less than
public misfortune had Governor MorehOuse
yielded to the opportunities with which he was
beset in this case Maxwell has deserved death
as fully as any murderer who ever died on
scaffold, and his execution to-day will be but
a tardy vndication Of justice.

NTNTNTM WAGES.

Representative White, of Indiana, has intro
duced a bill requiring that the minimum rate
of wages paid at any employment in any state
shall be 81 80 per day of ten hours for male
adults, 81 per day for women, and 10 cents
per day for minors from fourteen to eighteen
wears of age. His next step should be to intro
duce without delay bill providing that none
of the trees of this country should have their
roots underground. Give the roots a chance
and let them enjoy the sunlight also Founda-
ton stones have hard time Of it down in the
dark, damp ground, while the spire and the
coping stones are kissed by the sunlight; let
us have a bill enacting that all foundation
stones shall be placed above ground.
Mr.. White does not realize how cruel his
bill would be to the immigrants who follow
him in migration from other countries. When
he came hither from Scotland, lad nineteen
wears old. he would have starved if nobody
could have employed him until he could earn
81 so per day. Possibly other laborers who
were then employed may have wished to shut
out or starve the Scotch lad who came hither
to get work, and yet as he has advanced in
knowledge, capacity and power he has been
able to provide employment for great many
men, who, but for his enterprise and energy,
might have found no work at all. When we
shut out the unframed foreign boys we also
shut out the skilled and mastery captains Of
industry who grow out of those boys, and who
have done so much to develop the resources of
this country.
The bill is a mistake. II the foundation
stone, two feet thick. were not down there in
the dark, the next stone above it would have to
lie two feet lower, and the next, and all the
others above. If there were no unsghtly roots
working away underground in the dark, there
would be no broad shade of beautiful leaves
above All civilized society must of necessity
have certain of its tasks performed at the low
est possible cost, and for those the workers of
the least intelligence and capacity are qualified.
In order to get qualified for other and higher
work hereafter, they have to begin at the bot
tom, and to them the low wages they get while
learning to work in any department are bless
ing, for they open the door to all higher pos
sibilities. If Colonel Scott had not found work
at bare subsistence as an agent at an insignifi
cant railroad station, he would not have died
a railroad president
To the immigrant who accepts the ruder
work with gladness, while learning to earn
living in this country, even the lowest wages
are blessing, for they enable him TO come to
this country, and to live while acquiring the
power to earn more, and then they are higher
wages than he could get in the old country
for the same work. The blessing Of the great
Republic begins for him when he accepts ST.

REHOLT FROM DENOCRACY.

One Of the warehouses Of the Democracy has
kicked over the traces. The Hon. John b
Haskin, who has been one of the most ener-
getic leaders of the party in this State, has
followed the noblest tradition Of his youth and
broken away from his party on the free-trade
issue. The following passage from his strik-
ing conversation, published in The Mail and
Express" connects his present state Of right
eous indignation with his previous revolt
against Democracy:
| bolted the Democratic party when President
Buchanan backed by the South, tried to make slavery
and free trade permanent institutions OF our Republic
and now when the Same element, the same States the
ones that compose Dcmocracy's solid South attempt
to dictate to the North and say we must have free
trade, l rebel again. 1 am a Proteconist and Will
vote the Republican ticket. / know OF many who
never before voted against the Democracy who Will
vote for the Protectlonsts this year. | am wholly
disguised with the policy OF the Administration.
Cleveland has made the mistake OF his life. Every
workngman in the country Will be affected by tho
Mills bill II It should pass. l thought when tho South
tried to tell the North what to do in the ffos, 1t was
given lesson that would last but unhappily II Is not
so. Our homes, our industries and our nag
must be protected from every harm. This is my
platform, and this year best carry 1t out BY
voting for Harrison and Morton.
AS a Protectionist Mr.. Haskin felt compelled
to leave his party when it proclaimed that " the
time had come for the people of the United
States to declare themselves in favor of free
seas and progressive free trade throughout
the world, and by solemn manifestations to
place their moral influence at the side of their
successful example" As Protectionist he is
now forced by his conscience to march out Of
the same camp, when under Southern leader
ship free trade is adopted once more as the
supreme aim Of Democracy. This loyal friend
Of the negroes who rebelled against the estab-
lishmcnt of slavery as a permanent American
institution eagerly makes the cause of Ameri-
can labor his own. Every workingman in
the country" he declares, will be affected by
the Mills bill if it should pass" He knows
that the Republican party is committed to an
economic policy which has promoted the well
fare of the working classes; and he distrusts
the Southern free trade leaders now as he did
when they owned slaves and dictated the plat
forms of Democracy before the war Mr..
Haslln is heading a movement from the ranks
of our friends the enemy that promises to be-
come a stampede before November. .
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1888-08-10

passage Of the Mills bill that cheered the heart
of the chairman, Thomas Bayley Potter and
enabled him to congratulate the club upon the
Improvement in the prospects of free trade
He declared that there was no reason whatever
to despair of the ultimate acceptance Of the
principles of the Golden Club On the Con-
tinent war Of tariffs might be raging, but
in America the burden of protection had Deen
so great that the taxpayers seemed earnest
in their eff rts for relief, and doubtless their
example would have great effect all over the
world.n Free Traders have always attached
great value to the over OF example. Mr.
Golden and Mr. Bn. at predicted forty years
ago that the example of England alone would
convert the world to free trade, and with the
cessation of wars would bring in an industrial
millennium. These Vaccinations have never
been fulfilled. The great nations of the earth
are o-day leagued against Englands economic
policy Still the Cobdenites have not ceased
to have faith in the force Of example. Let
Democracy win in America and free trade be
substituted for protection and =" the opinion
and practice of the rest of the world' will be
rapidly influenced With the force of Ameri-
cas- example the millennium which Golden be-
held when caught up in ecstacy to the Free
Traders seventh heaven would come in with
a rush and a boom!
All these things vindicate the Judgment of
the member of Parliament who telegraphed
from London to "The Newly or1 Herald" last
December this glowing tribute to President
Cleveland "To convert the United States is
indeed triumph. The Golden Club will
henceforth set up special shrine for the
worship of President Cleveland, and send him
all it's publications gratis. Golden founded
Free Trade; Cleveland saved it, Such is the
burden of the song all through England to-
dayO

REVELS OF THE Golden CLUB

The Golden Clubs annual meeting this year
would have been a melancholy affair if dis
lance had not lent enchantment to its view OF
the approaching American elections On the
Continent free trade is not making progress in
any quarter. France is adopting every year
higher rates of duty on imports. Germany is
well satisfied with the results of protection.
Russia Austria and Italy remain in the high
tariff league against Englands economic pol
icy. Among British colonies Of the first rank
New-SOuth Wales is almost the only one that
adheres with loyalty to free trade Even in
England dissatisfaction with the results Of
Cobden's system is rapidly increasing. The
pr0stration Of agricultural interests continues,
and the ranks of the great army Of the unem-
ployed are recruited steadily in every great
centre of population. Last autumn, at the an
nual conference of the National Union of Con-
sentative Associations, resolution pledging
the party to a reversal of the free-tra policy
was carried by a large majority. The fair
trade agitation has continued with unaDated
ardor, two Of the most influential London Jour
nails lending powerful support to it. The Chan
cellor of the EXchequer, himself Free Trader
of the straightest sect, has had no scruples
against tampering with protectionist ideas in
regulating wine-bottling and sugar bounties.
How dreary would the prospects of free trade
have seemed to the Golden Club If President
Cleveland had not written his last message !!
The only hopeful passage in the annual report
was that in which the revolt against protec-
ton in America was cautiously discussed as
follows: X
On the Continent of Europe tariff wars arc raging
between all tho protectionst countries with effects
admittedly injurious. In the United states Presi-
dent Ccyelands message carries with It the promise
OF such measures Of tariff reform may In the course
OF a few years make something like a revolution In
international trade Not only would the direct results
OF opening the markets of such country be enormous
but II the United States, hitherto the great supporters
OF protection, should become satisfied that projection
Is deusion and that their best advantage Is to be
found free trade such change I'm their opinion ana
practice could not fail to influence the opinion and
practice of the rest of the world.
