MR.. scHUyLER's BOOK.

Mr.. Eugene Schuyler, upon whom
the United States Senate has indirectly
visited its wrath for having made GER
tain statements In his book American
Diplomacy" has this to say in that
volume touching the National Govern
ment:
The Government of the United States In
ordinary peaceful and uneventful times IL
nearly irresponsible despotism composed of
fve or six men, working under and through
constitutional forms and subject only to the
penalty which Is always exacted for very
grave mistakes. These six men are the Pres
ident Of the United States, who is, 1t Is true,
elected by the people, but only from two or
three candidates proposed by partisan con-
ventions as the result of intrigue or Of failure
OF intrigue; the Secretary of State and
the Secretary of the Treasury named
by the President as his colleagues and
associates, rather than his advisers and
servants, and confirmed by the Senate
which never refuses Its approval ex-
cept for cause OF the most scanda-
lous nature, or for reasons Of extreme
partisan feeling; the Speaker OF the House of
Representatives who Is elected as such by
his sfellow-Congressme at the dictation Of a
clique or as the result OF compromise be-
tween the factions and the personal ambi-
tions OF the dominant party, the chairman OF
the standing Committee on Appropriations
and the chairman of the standing Committee
on Ways and Means IN the House, both APP
pointed by the Speaker, leading men In Con-
grees and generally his rivals for the Speak
ership.
These are plain truths, plainly stated.
Doubtless Mr.. Schuyler put the facts in
pretty strong language, but they never
iheless exist That ours is a pretty
good form Of Government we all be-
Jieye, that II would be difficult to i'm
prove upon II much we believe, but
that II is not perfect theoretically those

a MURpEREn.s GOOD EoRr,JNE.

The case of Albert Green, murderer,
has Jagged. and limped, and halted
until the months grew into years. The
efforts of the District Attorneys Office
resulted in one conviction which was
useless, the verdict being set aside on
technicalities and new trial granted.
The second trial resulted in the same
verdict--guilty of murder. After this
second conviction week after week
passed before sentence was pronounced.
At last, when the delay could be pro-
longed no further, the formality of pro-
nouncing the death sentence was gone
through with and the public, andS the
District Attorney and Green himself
expected that the law would be carried
out.
II was set for the fifth of April, but
April first would have been a far more
appropriate date. G.
Yesterday the surprising intelligence
arrived that Green's sentence had been
eommuted to Imprisonment for life. 1t
is hard to see what motives could have
impelled the pardoning power, Beyond
Yepentant tears there has not been the
slightest incentive to clcmency in the
case The District Attorneys Office
hal studied the case from beginning to
end, had been over every inch of the
ground, andswhen asked to submit an
opinion in the case reported, but re-
Trained from a recommendation for
mercy.
Homicides in this District have been
numerous, and any relaxation of the
discipline of the law is dangerous. In
such an aggravated case as Green's it is
almost incomprehensible. His victim
was an inoffensive young colored man
whom Green went out Of his way TO as
sault. After stabbing him, he gratiiied
his rage by jumping on the PROSTATE
form. Low and vicious, by nature
murderer, Green can not be regarded
except as precisely the sort of criminal
the law for capital punishment was in.
