please anyone. No one who has read the
evidence given at the trial and the subse-
quent testimony as to Mr.. Maybrick's
habit of eating arsenic can have the temeri-
ty to say that there was not . considerable
element of doubt in the case. Very properly
Home Secretary Mathews in the exercise of
the nominally royal prerogative, has ex-
tended to the unhappy woman q certain
measure of mercy. In spite of the official
announcement that no further appeal for
mitigation of punishment or absolute re-
lease will be entertained, it is still possible
for Mrs. Maybrick's friends to bring for
ward the new evidence which has been col
lected since the verdict and launch a new
appeal to the press and public, without
whose help in all probability, the gallows
would have claimed Mrs. Maybrick as q
victim.
The process by which Home Secretary
Mathews arrived at his decision to COM
mute Mrs. Maybrick's sentence, as de-
scribed in the cable dispatches, will appear
peculiar to American eyes. After pro-
longed consultation between the Secretary
and many eminent lawyers-the great point
of discussion being the conflicting medical
testimony as to the amount of arsenic found
in Mr.. Maybrick's body being enough to
cause death-the unanimous opinion. was
reached that Mrs. Maybrick had given poi
son to her husband with intent to Kill. We
may conclude from this that Mr.. Mathews
and his legal advisers were convinced that
Mrs. Maybrick had poisoned her husband
feloniously. that he had died afterward with
thesymptoms of arsenical poisoning, but that
Mrs Maybrick, nevertheless, did not deserve
hanging. With these convictions, we do not
understand how this queerly constituted
court of appeal did not allow the death SEN
tence to stand.
The strongest impressions made by this
cause celebre upon the thinking public OF
both countries seem to be that the English
practice by which the judge usurps the
function OF counsel in his charge to the jury
is barbarous, and that of not permitting the
prisoner accused of murder to testify in his
or her own behalf is hardly less so. Judge
Stevens in his summing up of the case was
not impartial, and in this country that fact
would surely have been deemed sufficient
reason for new trial. English procedure
in murder trials is pretty certain to be radi-
cally reformed as result of the Maybrick
case

A WHOLESALE CORRECTION.

1t will be an uncommonly great blessing
TO this community if the proceedings in
Court at present pending against certain
private detectives result in an appreciable
decrease in the numbers of that class of in
discriminatory and often illegally consti-
tuted police. There is no good reason why
the police force supported by the taxpayers
should not be competent to protect the lives
and property of all. That is what a police
force is designed to do, and if it fails con-
spicuously in its duty the taxpayers have
the remedy in their own hands, or ought to
have if they attend to their business on
election day.
The private detective has been of consid-
cradle service, we admit, in not q few cases.
If his integrity and qualifications were al
ways beyond question there would be less
necessity for his removal. But the ex-
perience has certainly been in Pittsburg and
elsewhere of late that righteousness is a
rather scarce article at the private detective
agencies. So the system Of detection by
private means has come to another name for
systematic blackmail aud other hardly less
disagreeable things. 1t is private abuse
OF public power that cannot be allowed to
continue

SECRETARY WINDOWS DUTY.

While the Wall street organs are in
dulging in glowing pictures of the iniu-
ences which are to Put up the prices of
stock, the fact that there is a considerable
movement of funds away from New York,
and that the New York bank reserve is
steadily drifting in a direction which may
produce a stringency furnishes the danger
spot in the financial situation. The Wall
street influences are of the opinion that
when the reserve reaches the vicinity of the
legal limit it will be the duty of the Secre-
tary of the Treasury to buy bonds and thus
replenish the money market with funds on
which to keep up the bull movement.
This opinion is reflected in some news
papers outside of Wall street in a modified
form asexpressed by the Philadelphia Press,
which states that it is not the business of
the Treasury to rush to the aid of Wall
street every time its spectators see fit to
raise hue and cry; but that in case of a
real business stringency, where the Secre-
tary of the Treasury can give relief by the
purchase of bonds, it is right and proper
that he should do so. This does not draw
the distinction quite clearly enough. The
Secretary of the Treasury should understand
that he has no responsibility whatever with
the embarrassment of the New York stock
market that may be created by the specu-
lators, nor is it his duty to aid those gentry
in their efforts to put up the prices of stocks.
But if the movement of money should re-
suit in reducing the price Of United States
bonds from its present excessive premium,
it might be the duty of the Secretary of the
Treasury, in the interest of the Govern.
ment, to buy bonds at price which would
represent distinct saving to the Treasury.
The importance of this distinction appears
from the statement, on good financial au-
thority, that group of notorious specula-
tors of the trust stamp have bought up q
large amount of bonds and expect to sell
them to the United States Treasury this fall
at an advance. That is not the movement
which should take place in order to make it
right for the Secretary to invest the Treas
ury's surplus in bonds. II the money mar
ket becomes stringent. the New York inter-
ests should be ready to sell bonds at de-
cline. Under those circumstances, it will
undoubtedly be for the benefit of the public
that the treasury should buy a liberal
amount of its own securities.
The treasury should be run for the benefit
of the whole people, and should be kept dis
tinctly separate from any connection with
the schemes or manipulations of the Wall
street speculators.

sPEAK.EAsIEs AND UNCLE SAM.

The gentry who are engaged in the profit
able il precarious business of selling liquor
without license are threatened with an
attack from new quarter. Probably they
will be 10th to believe that Uncle Sans
officers have at last become officially aware
of their existence. More than once before,
the conductors of "speak-easies" will say to
themselves, have we been threatened with
prosecution under the Federal laws if we
did not take out internal revenue licenses,
and yet we have aot been molested to this
day.
Perhaps the "speak-easles" are justified
in believing that they are safe from attack
by the United States officers. But we think
that they are not, if the assertion be true
that Collector S. D. Warmcastle has said
that he means to compel all "speak-easy"
transgressors to pay the tax or incur the
penalty in the Federal courts. Mr.. Warm
castle will have his hands full, but he is
not the sort OF man to worry about that.
He can make the cheerful fall season of
great bitterness for the "speak-easy" crowd.
Their troubles will not stop with the pay
ment of the Federal tax or their punish
ment in the United States Courts for refus-
ing to pay. The receipt for the tax or the
record of the proceedings in the Federal
court against an unlicensed liquor dealer
would seem to be pretty fair prima facie
evidence tor the State authorities to take as
a basis for further prosecutions. Alto
gether the unlicensed saloon keeper is not
happily circumstanced.

TERMS OF THE DISPATCH.
PITTsBURG, FRIDAY, AUG. %, 1889.
WASHINGTON THE WINNER.

The letter which Mr.. W. E. Schmertz as
President of tine Chamber of Commerce has
written to Mr.. James Gordon Bennett, of
the New York Herald, may not prove pala-
table to New Workers, but it contains sew
eral chunks of truth that they may study
with profit. THE DISPATCH has already
taken the position upon the question of the
site for the Worlds Fair of 1892 that Wash
ington is the best fitted in every way for the
honor Mr.. Schmertz's views are in accord
with those of THE DISPATCH. He states
them forcibly, as he does his views as to the
good results of the fair to the trade and
commerce of the United States. Mr..
Schmertz is not in favor of launching the
Exposition on private subscriptions. He
thinks that as it is to be an exhibition of
the United States resources the expense
thereof should be borne by the National
Treasury. In the surplus he sees sufficient
funds to make the Exposition a success be-
yond all peradventure, and worthy of the
nation.
As we have said New York will do well
to give heed to the growing sentiment now
being generally expressed in favor of Wash
ington as the site of the Exposition. When
Congress comes to the consideration of the
question, for it is eviden. that no plan is
likely to succeed without the backing Of
Congress, the claims OF New York will have
to be presented in far stronger fashion than
they have been so far to win the day for her.
Washington is decidedly in the lead at
present, though New York must be given
the credit of making strenuous efforts to Sc
cure the prize.
