THERE HE WILL DO THE MOST GOOD

There is no reason to doubt that the young
bartender who snapped a pistol at his friend
several times on Sunday and finally succeeded
in shooting him almost, if not quite. to death.
tells the truth when he says that he didn't
mean TO- 1t would be grave mistake, how
over. to dismiss the case as nothing more than
a melancholy accident. OF course it will al
WAYS continue to be excessively funny to take
a revolver from drawer, cock it, aim it at
bosom friends bosom and pull the trigger, but
such perfectly delightful sport ought to be
made very expensive. Hitherto it has been
practically free to all, and in consequence, many
useful lives have been cut short. Only occa-
sionally has it happened that the community
has been an unexpected gamer by the sudden
subtraction in this manner of worse than
worthless member. Nlurderers and burglars
always know whether a pistol is loaded or not.
They never go around pointing al each other
weapons which they suppose to be harmless.
Nor do the unspeakable nuisances who have
become attached to this form of amusement
generally accomplish their own destruction, as
might be wished. 1t is the moro or less innoc-
uous and unsophisticated friend of the per-
former who is expected to set himself up for
target and who seldom has time to share in the
surprise which his sudden demise occasions
The youth who dropped at the practical
testers feet on Sunday with bullet in his
breast acquitted the marksman OF intentional
wrong, and magnanimously expressed hope
that he might not be arrested, but these two
are not the tnly parties to the transaction.
The public is much interested in the case, and
has a right to be consulted in the disposition
of it, The mercy that commonly drops upon
the head of such offenders is not like the
gentle dew It is not twice blessed, nor even
once. but, on the contrary, is curse to the
community 1t doesn't bring forth fruits meet
for repentance, but encourages every ass in the
neighborhood to test the efficiency OF the hrst
pistol he can lay hands on. 1t is perfectly
ridiculous to keep on bidding nincOmpoOps of
this description to go in peace, under the de-
fusion that their Iemorse is sufficient pun
ishment In the first place, remorse IS gen.
orally shallow and fugacous emotion, and in
the second place. if it were always deep and
permanent, one mans remOrse would not cure
another mans folly. 1t is extremely desirable
that few examples should be offered to the
contemplation of those whose prCchvities in
cline them to go through life proving that re-
yolyers as a rule are loaded Therefore, with
all confidence, do we impeach one Ernest
Schultze, bartender of criminal carelessneSs
in doing to death, or thereabouts his friend
Frank Doyle, and pray that he be restrained
of his liberty by due process OF law Tor not
inconsiderable period of time.

ryr cgar1EsToN'S RECORD.

Tho Official report of the trial of the new
crr;sar Charleston shows that the contract re-
ourements respecting horsepower have not
toor comnIicd with. The average horsepower
1or.o,o,od under the most favor able conditions
,,os 7 90. or 300 below the minimum stip-
,Io,od for. The speed, however, is 10 knots
maintained continuously for several hours Inc
machinery is reported to have operated saus-
factorily. the alterations having had the de-
sircd effect of preventing overheating. The
dofault in horsepower would be fatal to the
ooeo,,..rca of the Charleston if Secretary Whit
,oy,s course in condemnfng the Dolphin for a
deficiency of 30 units in horsepower were ad
bered 70 strenuously. But the Department Is
no,v administered on more PRACTICAL as we'll as
norarous nrinciples. and it is probable that the
vessel will be accepted on her record OF having
mazda n continuous speed Of 18 knots.
Tbo Charleston is a reproduction of the
Jananese cruiser NaniwaKa which, after
,eneated trials, succeeded in developing I ,6oO
horsepower and a speed of 1873 knots with
forced draught. 1t was expected that the
Charleston. having the same motive power and
Dimensions. would yield as good results de-
welcoming at least 800 horsepower and near
" 9 knots in speed. If she has failed to do
this it must, in justice to her builders, be
horne in mind that the test to which she was
subjected was more severe one than that
which established the Naniwa-Kan's nominal
record. Steaming continuously for four hours
Is = very different thing from squirting over
short measured course with all the conditions
favorable for an artificial show of speed that
cannot be kept up for several consecutive hours.
A speed of 10 knots continuously maintained
is. however a substantial gain for the Amer-
can Navy. even if the Naniwa-Kan's record
has not been equalled; and the deficiency in
the horsepower contracted for will not prob
ably stand in the way of the acceptance of the
vessel. Estimated horsepower cannot be de
veloped with the same degree of certainty as
speed: and in making new contracts the De-
partment will do well to change the base for
computing premiums and forfeits. Speed and
not horse power should be made the test aS
was done in the contracts for the cruisers
Philadelphia and San Francisco.

WHISKE7'S GOgERNORS LAST MOVE.

Whiskeys Governor, David b. Hill, has evil
IDENTIFY determined to do all that in him lies to
secure the full saloon vote this fall. With this
end in view he did not hesitate TO extend a
special invitation to the saloonkeepers to be
represented in the Syracuse Convention. Now
he goes a step fuicner in the same direction
Through his faithful mouthpiece, 1.-The Albany
ArguS,D he is at pains to remind the rum power
that the democracy of Newly ork is so abso-
lutey rum party that it has gone on record
as being opposed to allowing the masses to ex-
press themselves at the ballot-bOX npon so
prominent public issue as Prohibition. The
Argus" prints transcript from the proceed
ings of the Legislature of 1888 upon the resolu-
ton providing for popular vote on Prohibi-
ton. 1t appears from this that in both the
Senate and Assembly the Democratic legis-
lators voted solidly against the resolution.
Hence the spectacle is afforded of the Execu-
tive of New York endeavoring to make politi-
cal capital out of his party's shame. Prohibi-
tion is one OF the leading questions now before
the American people, and the voters have an
undoubted ngnc to say through the medium Of
the ballot-box whether they are for or against
it. The party which in its cowardice and sub
serviency would deprive them Of that right
commits itself to policy of prescription to the
last degree un-American. few years ago
prison labor and free canals were in turn sub
mittcd to popular vote. Did Democratic
Senators or Assembymen take their stand in
opposition to those propositions? Oh no. They
were in favor of both of those popular votes.
They are not hostile to the popular vote, con-
sdeied as an abstract proposition. The only
reason they fought it in 1888 was because it
was proposed to employ it on Prohibition. They
believe in graciously permitting the voters Of
this free and enlightened Commonwealth to
record themselves in regard to prisons and
canals. But when it comes to Prohibition, then,
at the dictation Of the rum power they say
to the people: Keep away from the ballot
box. You cannot vote on this question pro OF
con if we can help IT,"

that a revision, If it is to benefit either manu-
factmers or growers, must be such as to benefit
both. This is truth of such vital and over
shadowing Importance, in any modification o.
the wool and woolen duties, that the appear
ance Of overlooking 1t is liable to do harm
Neither is any new schedule likely to be re-
ceived with favor If advocated by manufact-
uers only without consultation with growers.
The natural prejudice in such case will much
increase the difficulty of obtaining desirable
result in Congress. The most successful and
beneicent tariff the country has ever seen, as
to wool and woollens, resulted from joint con-
ference of the two great interests. Perhaps
it may become practicable to arrange for a
similar conference this year.

readers in the dispatches of our special CORE
spondent, closed yesterday with debate on
Trusts between Messrs. GLADDEN. and Gunton'
While the discussion was lively and interest

mated, was not remarkable. Neither OF the
debaters was converted by the arguments OF
his opponent, and the convictions OF the audi
ence do not seem to have been seriously dis
turbed. The sympathies of the meeting were
evidently with DIR. GLADDEN., who denounced
trusts, and put very little sugar in his arraign-

Probably few persons know that a statue &c
Columbus, whose memory is now undergoing re-
iuvenation. was erected in Baltimore more than
century ago, and is still there, being said to be
the oldest monument in existence in the United
States. 1t stands in the grounds of the Samuel
Ready Asylum, upon property which has changed
owners four times since the statue was erected
It was dedicated October IL, 17s4, by the French
Consul General de Amamor, who had remained
in Baltimore with perhaps hundred French
officers and soldiers after the close of the Revolu-
tionary War; De Amamor was under Count de
Grasse. and witnessed the surrender at Yorktown.
The monument is plain shaft, which has suffered
somewhat from irreverent hands, but is still in
tact. 1T will be an object of much interest as the
Columbus centennial approaches.
