Attorney Geneyal Hensel will not like
to hear that Democratic newspaper
has charged him with refusing to 40

ihe trail is getting too fresh" lie will
think his critic needs sailing.
The Case of the Wrong FItzsimmons.
No fault is to be found with tho po-
lice for arresting man who seems to
answer tho description Of an escaped
convict. 1t is in the interest Of society
everywhere that fugitiyes from justice
shall be apprehended If possible. In
cases Of this kind mistakes occur, and
the officers who make them are not held
to too strict account.
The arrest ofS4Ir. Harris, the Louis
vile commercial traveller, in mistake
for Fitzsimmons, the murderer who
broke out OF the Pittsburgh Jail, was one
Of these mistakes. TIe bore close
enough resemblance to the man who
was described to warrant the arrest.
But the police shouldhaye been as de-
sirous Of giving him a chance to prove
the mistake as they were to take him
and to hold him, If he were the man
they were looking for.
Mr.. Harris had done business with re-
putable merchants in this city whoknow
him. lie asked that these merchants,
or at least one of them, be sent for. Ii
this had been done his immediate re-
lease would have followed, for it would
have been shown at once that he was
not FitzsImmons.
Instead Of granting this reasonable
request the police sent to Pittsburgh
for detective, who, on seeing Mr..
Harris, declared that he was not Fitz-
simmons. If nothing else had shown
the blunder it would have been Mr..
Harrig' feet, which are Of ordinary size,
while Fttzsimmons' feet are enormous.
Still Mr.. Harris was held over night
SO that the police might have another
look at him in the morning. Whether
it was thought that his feet might in
the meanwhile come up to the Fitz-
simmons standard, or whether it was
hoped that the sunlight might reveal
Fitzsimmons features which the gas
light obscured, has not been explained.
The prolongued and unnecessary de-
tention OF this business man was moth
ing less than an objectionable outrage.
The indignant protest Of Mr.. Henry
Baer, who for two years has done bust
ness with him, is entirely justified by
the indisputable facts in the case. II
the chief Of police would show half
the zeal to clear the city of the profess
sional gamblers that lie showed to de-
priye this innocent man OF his liberty,
the moral health Of the city would be
greatly improved.
IfMr. Harris wishes to be anmolested
the next time he visits Wheeling he
will do we'll to bring with him faro
layout, wheel Of fortune or a policy
goose. By either Of these signs he will
conquer if he knows how to go about
the business.

GERJL4NI,S BIG CANAL.
To Connect the North Sen with the Baltic
A Great Engineering Feat.

Great Engineering Feat
The cutting Of the ship canal through the
province OF Schleswig- Holsten to connect the
North Sea with tho Baltic Is progressing rap

by April. 1893. or little more than six years
from the day on which tho first spadcful Of
soil was turned in the presence of Emperor
William L at Holtcnau. near Kiel. Since the
sixteenth century sixteen plans have been
urged for connecting the two seas. and the
last two form tho basis OF tho project now
under way. The canal Is about sxty-one
miles in length. beginning at Holtenau. on tho
Bay OF kiel. and terminating near Bruins
bIttel. on tho River Elbe.
As the mean water level Of the North Sea is
considerably higher than that OF the Baltic.
both openings are to have huge locks. Near
Rendsburg is to be another lock to connect tho
new canal with tho old Elder Canal. The
medium water level is to DO about equal to
that OF Kiel harbor and the locks ut the outlet
on the Baltic are to be open nearly always. or
except during periods OF considerable varia-
tons in tho water levels. At tho lowest tide
the navigable width is to be about 10 feet,
