Responsibility of Parents.

The story that has been widely published
within the last few days Of the downfall Of
Harry Miller. the son of the poet Joaquin
Miller. suggests the thought that parents are
responsible to a much greater extent than is
generally believed for the entrance upon evil
ways OF the many young men and women
whose lives end in dishonor and disgrace.
Harry Miller's story is a pitiful one. He
has scarcely passed his 21st year, and yet he
is in prison for attempting TO rob a stage
carrying the United States mails. Had his
father shown affection for him and
extended to him the care and attention he
had right to expect, he would have de-
veloped into an honest man, in all proba-
bility, and become a respected and honored
citizen. When he was II years old his
father sent him TO his ranch to work as
laborer. promising, however, to pay him
wages. The boy was satisfied. He was
ambitious. BE intended to use the money
be earned to perfect himself in the higher
branches of education. His father, how
ever, failed 10 keep bis promise. The money
that had been promised him was not paid,
and he became discontinued. He left the
ranch, became a tramp and finally entered
upon a career Of crime.
If the story he tells is true is not his
father responsible for his present unhappy
condition. The boy has never known q
mothers nor fathers love He was neg
lected-vir tually told that no one cared
whether he became a respected citizen or
thief. No one helped him or urged him to
resist the evil influences that surrounded
him, and no loving hand was stretched out
to rescue him when he had taken his first
step toward evil.
This case of young Miller's is sample
one. There ara tens Of thousands just like
it. In every part of this broad land there
are homes in which there is no love and no
happiness, and which tbs children leave just
as soon as an opportunity to do so presents
itself They go out into the world with
hearts full Of bitterness toward those who
might have brought sunshine and JOY into
their hearts and inspired them with desire
TO lead honest aud useful lives. They are
glad to get away and never having been
trained to have q proper regard for that
which is good and virtuous, many quickly
drift into evil ways and become the victims
Of vice and crime.
II parents could be made to understand
how greatly the success Of their children
depends upon their home life-the kind of
treatment they receive there-they would
perhaps take greater pains to make their
homes attractive. They would give to their
children more care and fuller measure of
love. They would seek to so shape their
characters that they could easily resist evil
influences when they come to battle with
the world for themselves. To the selflshness
and Indifference of parents is traceable the
wrecks of many lives.

A Remarkable Admission.

On Thursday, in Brooklyn, Darwin j.
Meserole, son of Gen. Meserole, was ac-
! quilted Of the charge of numbering Theo-
dore Larbig. District Attorney Ridgeway,
| In speaking Of the verdict Of the jury, said {:
II think the verdict is a travesty upon
justice. Never in the history of Kings
county has a rich mans son been convicted
| OF homioids Our history does not record
such fact This was a cold-blooded MUIR
der, and the defense was afraid to put
Meserole on the stand. You may put me
down as saying that Brooklyn jury cannot
be found to convict a rich mans SON.
The foregoing is a most remarkable state-
ment, coming, as IL does, from prosecutin
officer who has the reputation Of being ex-
tremely careful in making statements for
publication. But, is it not true that 1t is
extremely difficult in any part Of the coun-
try to convict white man OF murder who
has money and influential friendsl Not
many years ago there was a very general
impression that it was much easier in the
north than in the south to con-
vict of murder man Of wealth
and prominence, but that impression does
NOT preVan now 20 any considerable extent.
Only recently, one Of the most prominent
lawyers Of Memphis. Tenn, was found
guilty Of murder. In that case, however,
the murdered man was a wealthy lawyer of
high social position.
1t is greatly to be regretted that juries do
not deal out eveu-handed justice. There is
no reason why leniency should be shown
rich man and denied to a poor one. Dis
eliminating against the poor and friendless
in the administration of justice creates dis
satisfaction aud lessons respect for the tri-
bunals Of justice.
Not very long ago rough OF New York
city said that hanging in that city was
played out. II what Prosecutor Ridgeway
says is true it has been played out
in Brooklyn for a long time. 30
far as the sons OF rich men are
concerned This condition Of affairs in
tho City Of Churches is a regrettable one.
Cannot the great preachers who make it
famous. - Talmsge, Storrs, Abbott and
others-do something to change it! Is it to
continue to be understood that in Brooklyn
the sons of rich men can commit murder
with impunityl

The low price Of cotton has brought about
a very depressed feeling all through the
south The outlook for the cotton pro-
ducers is extremely discouraging. They
have found It difficult to settle with their
merchants this season and the prospect for
credit, therefore. is far from promising.
The cotton producers are told by those
who pretend TO be their friends that the
spectators are responsible for the low price
OF cotton, that these Spectators have com-
bined to keep down the price until the cot
ton crop is about all marketed, and that
then they will put up the price and make
immense fortunes.
Surely intelligent cotton producers can
not be made to believe this. And 1t seems
strange that any one should expect them
believe It. There are spectators, Of course,
who are trying all the time to depress the
price Of cotton, but there are just as many
who are trying to advance 1t. All the brok-
ers desire high and advancing prices, be-
cause then there is plenty of business.
The present low price Of cotton is not
due to speculation. II it were not for spec
ulation the price would be lower than it is.
The low price is due TO the extraordinary
supply, and all intelligent cotton growers
know it is. Is it not, therefore, an insult
to their intelligence to tell them that the
low price is caused by a combination Of
speculatorsi
Last fall did not every report Of a frost
that was supposed TO shorten the crop send
up the pricel And every report of big
yield from an authoritative source sent it
down. II a statement were made to-mor-
row, upon which reliance could be placed,
that the crop would not be above 100000
bales, the price would advance greatly at
once. The spectators couldn't prevent the
| advance.
As a matter Of fact the price for spot cot
ton is made in Europe and the bulk Of the
crop is shipped there just as fast as it is sent
to the ports. The price is based upon the
! supply. II there is a prospect of a short
crop the spinuers become eager buyers and
the price rules high; but when the prospect
is that the supply will exceed the demand
spinners become very conservative.
The cotton planters have the remedy for
the low price Of cotton in their own hands.
They are producing too much cotton. Let
them reduce their acreage and give more
attention to stock, grain and fruits They
are responsible for the low price OF cotton.
It is a great mistake to say that it is due to
speculation.

Cranks and Luuatics.

Since the attempt of crank to slay Rus
sell Sage with a dynamite bomb, evidence
| which shows that there are many persons
roaming about the country who ought to be
| confined in asylums is increasing. In
New York city alone three or four wealth y
men have received threatening letters de-
mandlng money from as many different
cranks within the last week. On Thursday
luuatic named Stokes was arrested in
that city and carried to a police station.
He had been in the house of his grand
mother for several days trying to induce
her to give him part Of her fortune. He
is giant in strength. and while In his
grandmoshers house kept the whole family
in terrified condition.
1t is said that Russell Sage, Jay Gould
and some other New York millionaires are
now watched and guarded by detectives
whenever they go into the streets. And at
Albany Gov. Hill is followed by several
men who do not lose sight of him when he
Is away from the executive mansion. The
governor says he IS not afraid that any one
will attack him, but he has yielded to the
advice Of friends SO far as to have a guard
nAtuAu CtAAts
1t is evident that the cranks and lunatics
are getting to be a great nuisance in the
metropolis. And other cities are not free
from the same kind of nuisance. The num-
Der Of cranks and lunatics who are danger
Gus is apparently increasing, and steps
should be taken at once to place them In
confinement. AS long as such people are
permitted to enjoy entire freedom there is
danger of terrible tragedies.
There are cranks and lunatics who are
| able for time to pass themselves off, where
| they are not known, as sane men. Their
unsettled mental condition soon betrays
itself, however. and they are asked to
move on"
| There is altogether too much sentiment
shown in behalf of cranks and lunatics by
their friends and relatives, who keep them
out of asylums even after they have become
dangerous.
The number Of cranks who visit the white
house is large. All Of them want to see the
President, either for the purpose of doing
him harm or of getting money from him.
Only few days ago one called at the white
house and caused good deal of annoyance.
1t is evident that something must be done
to lessen the danger from oranks and luna
tics. The number of them who manage to
keep out of asylums for the insane is stead
lily increasing, and not a few Of them are
extremely vicious.
