A New Method of Assassination.

The attempt Of murderous scoundrel to
blow up Mr.. RUSSELL SAGE with dynamite
yesterday reveals n new danger to which
our present society Is subject.
The wild Anarchists gloried over
the invention Of this terrible ex-
plosive as affording them means
OF destruction so powerful that 1t would
Offset their weakness in numbers. Its
tremendous energy had not been long DEM
onstrated before 1t was used in the Parlia-
ment Houses OF London. and q gang Of
Anarchistic thugs fifty expiated on the gal
lows their employment Of dynamite against
the brave and faithful police Of Chicago.
Happily. and with justice which seems
divine in its completeness, the man who at
tempted to blow up Mr.. SAGE with dynamite
because he would not forthwith yield to his
demand for q vast sum Of money,
was himself killed by the explosion.
This instantaneous destruction OF the as
sassin is a result OF an effort at robbery and
blackmsil which. fortunately. will do more
than even his hanging. after due trial and
prolonged delay. could have accomplished
to prevent limitations and repetitions Of this
method OF extortion. He did not get the
money and he destroyed himself.
The assassin may have been a lunatic.
Every murderer and every man who medi-
tates murder is lunatic. But the phase
or variety Of insanity which is mani
tested by such devilish deed as oc-
CURED yesterday in Mr.. SAGE's Office is
the very danger which society seeks
to avoid by Furnishing murder and as
sassination with its severest penalty. A
man so possessed must be put beyond the
possibility Of doing harm, as wild beast
or mad dog is put to death. II anybody is
hanged. he should go to the gallows first
and without chance Of escape.
Because he is what is called nowadays a
crank is no excuse for him. He is all the
more dangerous on that account, and soci-
ETY. has the more need to be rid Of him. for
his impulse to atrocious crime is not acci-
dental. but continuous. and the consequence
OF cause permanently existing in his
makeup.
The horrible incident shows also that
men will need to surround themselves with
new and further safeguards unless society
sets to work deliberately and with thor
oughness to extirpate this murderous
breed. The very growth and develop
ment Of civilization multiply their
opportunities. as the increase Of pop
1lation multiplies their numbers. One
Of them is dead already, hoist with his own
petard. but the safety Of the public requires
that they should all be hunted out and
shained as beasts Of prey.

women AZ tho chicago Fair.

Mrs. POTTER PALMER, the President Of
the Board Of Lady Managers Of the forth
coming Chicago Exhibition. told meeting
of ladies' In this city on Wednesday that at
that great display Of the products OF human
skill and industry I'VE want to impress
man with the fact that women have really
done important work" In painting. sculp-
ture, and mechanical invention.
II the lady managers could secure ex-
amples of the best achievements In these
departments by the women Of all periods Of
history. they might present at Chicago a
collection which would be respectable, II
not deeply impressive. by the side Of the
works Of the men painters. sculptors. and
inventors Of this immediate time only. It
would not equal the display OF the merely
contemporary masculine genius and origi-
nality. but 1t would be interesting and
would contain many beautiful objects
OF high artistic elevation. though
there has never been a feminine sculptor.
painter, or inventor who ranks with the
best men In those fields at this present or
at any other period In the history Of civil
ization. The number Of women who have
distinguished themselves Us competitors In
art and science ia few in the aggregate. even
II we include all those Of ancient and mod
ern times entitled to be SO called. and none
Of them has reached the supreme position
so often held by men. Even II the whole Of
the feminine product we're destroyed. the
loss to the world would be small.
In literature the feminine intellect and
Imagination have been far moro service
able. but even there they have not attained
thr mi h1yv Ennp n
Pho to Mrs. BROWNING there has been no
woman poet who has approached the Gre
alive genius OF SHAKESPEARE. or DANTE, or
GOETHE. or MILTON. or BYRON. In fiction
they have won higher place. but the
novels and romances for all time and
for all mankind have not been writ
ten by women. In invention their
contribution is Insignificant. though we
take the sum Of 1t from the beginning OF
time until now. Their assistance in bring
ing about the improvements in manufac-
ture which give employment to 80 many
women and add to the comfort and luxury
Of them all, has been almost nothing. They
have received these as gifts from the skill
and intellectual superiority OF men.
Hence display Of the immediately con-
temporary performances Of women in art.
science. and industry cannot be impressive
when it is set of against so enormous an
exhibition Of the masculine achievements
in the same fields which will be afforded by
the Chicago Fair. The difference between
the two will only be made to appear more
strikingly. The women will be beaten out
of sight in such a competition.
They will have no reason for mortifica-
ton at the defeat. however. for women are
the mothers Of men. and as such their glory
transcends in it's brillancy any fame or
honor which men can win at the COMPETE
ton at Chicago or in any other contest OF
ability. The Importance Of their function
in society does not require demonstration
and vindication in the mere specimens Of
handicraft displayed at Worlds Fair.

It is not surprising that there was In

It is not surprising that there was In
many countries deep sympathy with Dom
PEDRO In his illness. which ended yesterday in
his death. As Emperor Of Brazil for nearly
half century. he was as mild q ruler as ever
held power. and he gave up his throne without
sacrificing life or drawing sword to secure
its retention. While in power he had done
much for Brazil He had striven for it's adj
vancement in civilization: he had secured the
adoption OF many progressive and benefcent
measures: he had brought about the abolition
OF slavery; he had maintained the peace by
his discreet policy when there was danger Of
instruction: he had shown himself to be
genuine and intelligent friend Of the Brazilian
people, Dom PEDRO was an amiable man: he
was interested in scholarly and scientific
studies. as other members Of the Portuguese
house OF BRAaANzA have been. and he COM
posed poetry that Is not destitute OF
the merit OF sentinentalism. It must
OF course be admitted that he lacked some
OF the qualities that ruler ought to possess.
and that are especially needed by a ruler In
Brazil. While he was Emperor 1t was known
to both his friends and foes that he was Q man
Of feeble will and wavering judgment: that he
was too trustful In his disposition: that he was
deficient in political skill and ia knowledge OF
the arts Of government, and that he was too

count Of these defects Of character that he lost
his throne. But even when he had to leave
his empire. by reason of the growth Of re-
publicanism. there was no part OF the Brazilian
people. not even those by whom he was ex-
PEELED. who bore him any Ill will. He was es-
corted from his palace in BIO do Jsneiro to the
ship that was in waiting for him In the harbor:
he sailed away. overwhelmed with grief. leav-
ing many behind who were grieved at his de-
parture: and the new Government made pro-
vision that he should be properly sustained as
long as he lived through the revenues sent to
him from Brazil
Ever since that time about two years ago.
he had been melancholy In his exile in Europe.
and sufferer from an incurable disease: and
he constantly INDUCED in the longing that
he might be permitted to spend the last days
Of his life In his beloved Brazil. even though
he was reconciled to the fact that he could
never again rule over 1t.
Dom PEDRO leaves in the world name and
a record to which high praise must always be
accorded.

Trouble with tho side Judges.

In Jersey City the Court Of General SEES
slons is held by three Judges. The pre-
siding Judge is lawyer and his associates
are laymen. Four men convicted Of ballot
box stunning came up for sentence on Thurs-
day. and instead Of being sent to the State
prison for term Of eighteen months. as
was the case with number OF defendants
previously convicted they were sentenced
to Imprisonment for nine months only. and
that In the penitentiary.
This lenity was duo not to Judge LIP
PINcoTT. who presided. but to the fact
that his lay associates would not con-
sent to impose the severer penalty which
he favored. In rendering Judgment he de-
clared that he could not see why the pris-
oners should receive any lighter sentence
than that imposed In the other cases. 81
Alone" he said. would send you to prison
for eighteen months II could. but cannot.
My associates believe that you should be
sent to the penitentiary for nine months
imprisonment. and 80 that must be the
sentence under the circumstances"
In this State there were formerly side
Justices In the Court OF Oyer and Terminer.
over which Justice Of the Supreme Court
always presldes. About ten years ago.
however. the Legislature amended the law
so as to permit Supreme Court Justice to
hold the Court Of Oyer and Terminer with
out any associates. This was in conse-
quence Of the conduct OF the associate jus
tices In notable case in Brooklyn. where
they overruled the presiding Judge in
case Of assault and battery. and imposed
fine only instead Of imprisonment.
The side Justices are still retained In this
State. however. in the Court Of Sessions In
every county except In the city and county
Of New York: and they cannot be gotrid Of
without an amendment to the State Consti-
tuition. They are required to be Justices Of
the Peace. but usually they are not edu-
Gated lawyers. and in practice they really
have nothing to do with administering the
business Of the court except that their
presence is essential to the constitution OF
the tribunal. 1t is only when they override
the presiding Judge. as in the Jersey City
case. that they attract any attention; and
1t may we'll be doubted whether the exer-

A Deadly Parallel.

Our esteemed, contemporary. the Indian
apolis Sentinel. maintains that Mr.. ROGER
Q. MILLS stands in precisely the same re-
lation to the Democratic party that Major
MCKINLEY does to the Republican party"
1t finds the parallel In the fact that both
men have been Chairman OF the Ways and
Means Committee. and authors OF tariff
bills. It argues that the MILLS bill repre-
sents the Democratic idea OF taxation as
the MCKINLEY bill does the Republican idea
Of taxation; and that the Democrats should
honor MILLS by making him Speaker just
as the Republicans OF Ohio have honored
MCKINLEY by making him Governor.
Our Indianapolis contemporary must be
perfectly aware that Mr.. MILLS does not
stand on the MILLS bill. rickety enough
though such platform might be. He has
gone far beyond that. He has gone as far
as he can go. He is for absolute free trade.
He does not represent the Democratic the
Dry OF taxation. He does not represent
tariff reform. He represents free trade and
an income tax. Even IL the MILLS bill had
been a work OF extreme wisdom and states
manship. and had resulted In victory and
not in disaster for the Democrats. they
would have no motive for wishing to re-
ward its author now. He is tho free trade
candidate. and the majority of them are not
free traders. The MILLS of the MILLS bill
was very conservative and moderate per-
son compared with the MILLS who was pro-
claiming free trade from the stump in 1890.
II man deserves promotion for dividing
and weakening his party. the MILLS Of the
MILLS bill might deserve promotion. II
the Speaker Of the House OF Representa-
tives ought to represent the ideas Of public
policy which are held by majority OF the
members of his party in that body and in
the country. Mr.. MILLS is clearly Ineligible
Some Democrats want a low tariff, and
some want higher tariff. Mr.. MILLS
wants no tariff at all. There are many other
things to he thought of in the selection of
Speaker than his views about tariff re-
form: but for friends Of tariff reform to elect
Mr.. MILLS Speaker would be as absurd as
for tho friends Of high license to nominate
Gen. NEAL Dow for Governor Of Maine.

the same as cutting his head off.
