THE result of the experiment of Captain
Norton, who has just sailed for England on
a steamer sixty feet long and driven by q
thirty-horse-power compound engine, is
awaited with much interest by experts on
naval matters. The chief characteristics of
the novel little vessel are thus described:
The conspicuous feature about the Norton that
has attracted such attention is the fact that she
has double bottom and six ballast compart-
ments. Water is admitted through holes in the
outer bottom. When the boat careens. the body
of water between the bottoms presses the air in
the compartments and acts ballast, the latter
serving as cushion. This prevents the boat
from capslzing or from diverging far from it's
centre even in the toughest seas. 1t is claimed
that the double bottom and air-tight cOmpart-
ments make it impossible to sink the boat should
1t be cut in two.

1t may be that the Lodge bill. if enacted
into law. may fail of securing TO the full
extent the reform sought. 1t probably will
fail, for, in the places where fair ballot is
not permitted, public sentiment is united
in support of organized resistance TO the
casting and counting of the Republican
vote, and any opposition is suppressed by
business boycott, social ostracism, or II
necessary, violence and bloodshed. But
the duty of the Republicans is clear in this
matter. They pledged themselves to the
country in their national platform to enact
laws looking to the purificat ton of the bal
lot. Aside from that pledge. such action is

PARNELI AND THE IRISH LEADERSHIP.

The Parnell incident was one that re-
quired wise and skillful handling to pre-
vent 1T from having very damaging
effect on the cause with which he has
been SO long identified. The theory
that has been advanced that public
mans private character, life or morals
have nothing to do with his relation to
public affairs is very unsafe one. If
not wholly unsound, it is at least subject
to many and material notifications. 1t
is more nearly true in some countries
than in others, and it must vary with
circumstances in any country, but as a
general proposition it is not tenable.
The common sense of the people re-
fuses to dissociate a mans pri-
vate life from his public life to
the extent of admitting that he
may be untrustworthy or immoral in
one relation and worthy leader in the
other. No man can expect to retain the
confidence and approval of the public in
public relation while ignoring or defy
ing the accepted standard of moral con-
duet in his private relations. There is,
indeed, too nuch of this sort of differen-
tiation attempted by public men, and
perhaps too much of it winked at, but
there is limit beyond which it will not
be tolerated.
Mr.. GladstOne's decision, reached after
careful deliberation and announced with
unhinching frmness, is that Mr.. Par
nelps continuance at the present time in
the leadership will be rulnous to the
cause of Ireland. He even intimates
that if Mr.. Parnell retains the leader
ship of the Nationalist party it would
compel Mr.. Gladstone to reconsider
his own position as leader of the English
Liberals. thereby plainly implying that
he could not continue to support the
Irish cause under Mr.. ParnelIs leader
ship. This means the disruption of the
Liberal party and the practical with
drawal of English support from the Irish
cause.
Assuming that Mr.. Gladstone repre-
sents the prevailing sentiment in Eng
land, and that Mr.. PaInelrs continuance
in the leadership of the Irish cause will
drive Mr.. Gladstone and Otherprominent
Liberals from its support, it looks as if
the Irish HOme-rule members of Parlia-
ment had made grave mistake in the
position they have taken. Under such
circumstances their unanimous re-elecl
ton of Mr.. Parnell to the chairmanship
of the Irish parliamentary party savers
more of devotion to leader than of re-
gard for the cause. If it does not show
lack of moral sense, it certainly does
show lack of political sense to openly
antagonize so powerful sentiment as
that must be which induces Mr.. Glad
stone to take the stand he has. The
Irish members have not acted wisely.

A FEW years ago some sOcial-Science
cranks brOached the sensational theory
that education was no preventive against
crime, if, indeed, it did not contribute to
crime. In proof of the seeming paradox
it was claimed that there was most crime
in the States where education was most
advanced, and that a majority of the
inmates of all penitentiaries were edu-
Gated persons. The startling theory re-
ceived considerable support from those
who are interested in attacking and
breaking down our common school sys-
TEN. but investigation proves that the
alleged facts cited in support of the
theory are not facts at all. In other
words, a careful investigation of the pris-
on records of various States shows that
ignorance and crime are natural allies, and
as a general rule they keep company to-
gether. A publication by the Bureau of
Education. at Washington. based on
careful investigation, shows that about
one-sixth of all the crime in the country
is committed by persons wholly litter
ate; that about one-third of it is COM
mitted by persons practically illiterate,
and that the proportion of criminals
among the illiterate is about ten times
as great as among those who have been
instructed in the elements of a common
school education or beyond. 1t would
seem that it ought not to be necessary
TO refute so foolish proposition as that
education increases crime, but since the
point has been raised, it is gratifying to
know That facts and statistics conclu-
sively prove the contrary.
