Somehow Wichita has not taken quite

{. STAR
Wichita was the first city in the state
that took an interest in the deep harbor
scheme and 1t still feels a lively interest
in the success Of the undertaking because
it fully appreciates its importance 10 the
state and the entire west. And while
Wichita has not the slightest objection
TO Topeka's holding its meeting and
working the occasion for all il is worth
locally, it fails 10 comprehend how the
scheme Is to be advanced by such a
meeting at this time, wherever held. If
one half the money that will be spent at

In the disturbed mountain district of
Southeastern kentucky the actual gov
eminent appears to be that Of the out
laws who have successfully deiied Judge
Lewis and the court posse. Wilson
Howard rules as absolute dictator over 4
roadless region from which an army
would be needed to dislodge him. The
law, however, must be yind;cated. and
the governor Of Kentuckyi is prepared to
resort TO extreme measureSto sustain the
authority of the courts. In Arkansas
they had very serious ruction a day or
two ago, but il was confined 10 the col
ored population exclusively and the gov
ernor didn't seem TO think II worth while

that any effort worthy the name viii be
made to apprehend the offenders.

The spirit of resentment manifested by
the Washington Post at the wanton dis
regard of self imposed obligations on the
part of New York city in failing to pro-
vide o suitable monument for the grave
of General Grant is commendable and
timely that far, but the Posts demand
that the remains Of the dead hero be re-
moved from where they now lie to the
National cemetery at Arlington will not
meet with a popular response. Every
body felt that an outrage had been perpe-
trated upon decency and his memory
when the beloved chieftain's dead body
was disposed of on the auction plan and
New York became the custodian for
purely speculative purposes, but since it
was lain to rest where it now Is the pub
lie Will never consent to its removal on
the pretext set up Better far that the
government should take charge of the
tomb and erect a suitable monument
there than that the revered dust should
be taken on COMMUNICATING tour to n
distant point. the only excuse or pretext
for which is a desire to publicly rebuke
the recalcitraut New Workers for their
petty meanness III that connection.

With the prompt and generous contri-
buttons of money for the benefit and re-
lief of the Johnstown food sufferers, a
considerable portion OF which money is
reported still on hand and unexpended,
the present condition of that locality is
anything but creditable to the local man
agement. The work of cleaning the de-
bris andrecovering the dead bodies was a
big undertaking. to Ice sure, but the re-
sources of both labor and money were
practically unlimited, and it is incredible
to assert that the work should not have

will benefit its town, seems to have been
a little slow in catching, on to the new

A COMPLICATED CASE.

If the dispatches frou. California cor
rectly reflect the public feeling on the
Terry-Nagle affair it seems likely that it
will result in serious complications be-
tween the state and federal authorities
T. At present the only way out of the di-
lena as far as Nagle is concerned is take
the case on appeal from the state court
Of last resort to the United States su-
prenle court. The case against Judge
Field is altogether different. II is diff
cult to understand how the state can
hold him on a charge Of conspiracy
when there is not the shadow of an ex-
cuse for such proceeding as far as the
public is appraised. At this distance it
looks like deliberate purpose, prompt
ed by the friends Of Terry, to humiliate
the venerable federal Judge for his acts
as judge in defending the dignity Of the
court against the indignities
attempted to be cast upon it by
the slain man and his consort. This
feature OF the case is without a parallel
in the history OF Jurisprudence. 1t is
matter Of public concern, and public
sentiment is already in condition to utter
an indignant protest against such I'M
warranted proceedings. Nobody ques-
tons the right of the state or the right
fulness of its action in defending its
laws and society in Nagle's case, though
it is morally certain that the federal gov
eminent will rescue him from bodily
harm when the former shall have been
vindicated to the full; but nobody justi-
tieS the act OF the state authorities, in
response to a malicious whim, in pro-
ceeding against Judge Field.

Another Public Benefactor.

Mr.. Jacob Tome, of Maryland, has
amassed a vast fortune, but he doesn't pro-
pose that all of it shall be kept in the fam
| lily, and that his name shall be forgotten.
| He has announced his intention of founding
at Port Deposit, Nd, where he has lived for
| the last 56 years. free industrial school
for boys and girls, and his plans show that
he has great deal of practical sense. In
| deed, 1t was owing to his practical sense
that he overcane the difficulties of want
! Of early education, and that he succeeded
in life better than most of his fellows
His elegant granite home will be the main
building Of the proposed institution, but

such as library, workshops, cooking and
sewing departments, etc. The endowment
fund will be about 100000 Mr.. Tones

Deposit, and OF Cecil county, especially.
and his plan will provide first for the adj
mission into the school Of orphans in Port
Deposit; second, for the admiss on Of or

mission OF other children in the town and

Of instruction.
MIR. Tome recognizes the fact that it is
much more difficult now for people to make
Roadway in life without technical training
than it used to be, and that a girl should
have a knowledge OF household duties. His
proposed gift will make him public bsne-

Northern Aid for Southern Veteran

Northern Aid for Southern Veterans.
While few fanatics like Senator Chaud-
Ter are trying to prevent the bitterness en-
gendered by the civil war from dying out,
Maj. Joe II. Stewart, of Texas, is in the
north t. obtain aid for the National Con-
federate Home at Austin, and the fact that
he is meeting with considerable success
shows that the self-imposed mission of Mr.
Chand er and others will fail
The National Confele ate Home, as its
name implies, is an institution for manned
and disabled confederate veterans 1t also
receives disabled union veterans. 1t was
established in 1886 by the John B. Hood
camp Of confed rete veterans, and has been
mai tanned by the voluntary subscriptions
of Texans. 1t is situated on ten acre lot,
and is a building of seven or eight
rooms Thus far it has received
ll3 veterans, mos of whom have
been benefited sufficiently to be able
to support the nselves by light work. There
are now in the institution 80 veterans, one
Of whom was union soldier from Illinois,
the others being from eight southern ST. tes.
The board of directors want t. ENLARGE
The building, as about 100 applications for
admission have been refused lately. Texas
has given $4,000 to purchase the grounds
and building ard to support the inmates,
and i, wa decided to send Maj. Stewart to
several northern cities to solicit aid In
Boston the best citizens took the matter in
charge, and they sent to the home S., 500.
Maj. Stewart is now in New York, where
he expects TO be equally as successful.
1t is pleasant to note the generosity Of the
nortne. n people in cause like this. The
truth is, the people who did the fl citing in
the civil war learned to respect each
other when they meet in battle, and
between them friendly feeling was long
since re-estabished. A ew small politicians
are trying to keep alive sectional animosi-
ties, but the more the people of the north
and south see Of each other, the less effect
i've are the efforts to keep them apart

Murder a Comm IN Crime.

A Florida correspondent complains that
murderers are not hanged in that state, and
says that because the law against murder is
not enforced crimes of violence have become
( very common. The complaint is one with
which the majority of the people not only
of Florida, buo other states sympatbize. 1t
is safe to say that there are dozen times as
many murders as there are hangings. Who
is to blame for this condition of affairs
Primarily the people. If public sentiment
demanded the prompt punishment Cf all
crimes of violence jurors would do their
duty. 1t is difficult to get jury to convict
mau Of any prominence or influence Of
murder or felonious assault.
Our Florida correspondent states that not
long ago a prominent man in Florida
openly asserted that the chance for escap-
ing punishment for murder was much
better than for escaping that for stealing
hog. People are more ready, it seems from
this. to protect their property than to pro-
tect human life.
Juries will not do their duty unless
forced to by strong public sentiment.
Every order loving and law-abiding citi-
zen. therefore, ought to condemn crimes
of violence on all occasions. He should
make it point TO hold up to public scorn
those who apologize for the practice Of car
rying deadly weapons. and should use his
influence TO the utmost 20 have those guilty
of taking, or attempting to take human
life, punished. Ministers should preach
=wi punishment from the pulpit and the
ewspapers should advocate it earnestly
Neither courts nor governors are blame
less for the failure to punish murderers. Too
often judges are more intent upon making
hair splitting distinctions between points
raised in criminal cases than they are in
enforcing the law. and cases drag along in
the courts until witnesses and prosecutors
become indifferent to the result Of trials.
II by chance a murderer is convicted the
governor is besieged to commute his SEN
tence to Imprisonment, or TO pardon him,
and too often he yields TO the pressure
brought to bear upon him.
We may expect murders TO be committed
so long as the punishment for crimes Of
violence is not swift and certain. When
men feel themselves aggrieved they will
resort TO the knife or pistol for revenge if
| they think they can do so With comparative
| impunity. If the people are Indifferent
about the enforcement Of the laws they
must suffer the consequences.

A Young Mayors Prospects.

The people Of New York seem not to have
Grant mayor. Mr.. Grant is a compare
lively young man, but that is not to his
disadvantage. Ia fact, il is point in his
favor. He has energy and discrimination,
he is in accord with the progressive spirit of
the times, and his ideas upon all objects
upon which he has expressed himself since
he became mayor have been excellent. His
message to the board of aldermen was clear,
concise and bu mess like, and be has fol-
lowed it up with several acts that have
called forth the praise OF the press Of both
parties in New York. He ba5 caused TO be-
closed o0e Of the most notorious and dis
reputable dives in the ci Y, ne is after q
.swiudling dime museum wito sharp stick,
and he has put himself on record in opposi-
ton to the appointment to city offices Of
men Of questionable character.
Another thing that may be said in his
favor Is that he finds time to attend TO his
social without neglecting his official duties.
This shows that he Is method cal IA bis
york. In this respect he is like Secretary
Whitney. A good many people have won
dered how it was that Mr.. Whitney could
conduct the affairs Of his Office and fad
time to devote to society, but the explana-
tion is that he is systematic. He mas made
an excellent Secretary Of the Navy, and at
the same time he has been leading figure
