Recent events make this a tit time
fer calling attention To the degree In
which modern science has become an
ally of society in the struggle of the
latter to defend itself against crime.
Chemical science has become so exact
that when human being has met his
death by poison the desdly drug can
be traced even in single drop of
blood. The microscope has increased
manifoldiy the diihculty OF CON-
mitting a forgery that shall escape
discovery. The electric light flashes
its intense brightness into unlrc-
quentsu streets, into narrow alleys
and into regions OF great cities where
dangerous classes swarm 80 that
deeds OF darkness can no longer be
committed with the impunity OF
former times. While the absrond-
ing criminal Is travelling by steam. the
message asking for his apprehension
il flying, literally, with lightning
speed. Great a. are the services now
constantly rendered by science in the
prevention, detection and punishment
OF crime. those which seem likely TO
be rendered in the future will, II real
szed. be greater still. II may not be
long ere the phonograph Is brought
into court rs an unimpeachibie WIT
ness, to repeat the exact words of con-
spiraiors guilty OF planning bribery
or burglary. II will be well II we hear
in mind that in many ways, including
such as have been limited at above, the
astounding progress made in this CEN
tury toward unlocking the secrets Ut
matter and mind Is tending. not only
to make man better acquainted with
natural laws, but also 10 make them
more ohedisnt o. civil laws.

THE COURTHOUSE SITE.

The mass meeting held AZ the court
house last night TO consider the ques-
ton OF the location of the rev county
buildings, was hasty affair. in which
the business and taXpaying element
OF the community was bat poorly rep
resented Notice of the meeting was
not general, and We doubt If ore man
in ten of those most interested knew
that such meeting was to be held
certainly there was nothing in the
makeup of the meeting to indicate
that it was representative in the
sense that such meeting should be.
A resolution urging the omission
ers to proceed with the erection of the
proposed buildings on the seventh
street site was passed. but upon the
motion of interested parties, and sup
ported by persons whose attendance
they had secured by process of
drumming, prosecuted with great in
dustry yesterday afternoon, chiefly in
the First ward. We undertake 10 say
that this resolution in no sense repre-
sents the sentiments of the business
and tax-paying community. The
Seventh street site is too far removed
from the business district to be con-
venient. 1t has no single point OF fit
ness, and, should the buildings be
located there, ii will for ali time to
come he a source OF annoyance and
regret. Ii the commissioners want an
expression OF public sentiment rela-
tive To this matter, they should take
pains to get il, not from a meeting
made up OF interested persons on one
hand and irresponsible persons on the
ether. bat from the business men and
tax. payers of the city.
