A Remarkable Case.

Our dispatches yesterday contained the
information that Carlyle w. Harris, the
! young medical student, whose trial In New
York city on the charge Of having muir
dered his wife, Helen N. Potts, by poisoning
her with morphine has attracted so much
| attraction throughout the. country, had been
| found found guilty of murder in the first
degree. Those who followed the case closely
think doubtless that the verdict is a just
one. The doctors who were called as ex-
perts differed as to whether or not Helen
Potts died from morphine poisoning, those
who were called by the state insisting that
she did and those called by the defense con-
tending that there were good reasons for
doubling that she did.
The case is a most remarkable one in sew
eral respects. The murder was the first one
by poisoning that has occurred in New York
city in twenty years. In that period a
great many murders have been committed
| in that city, but no one of the murderers, as
far as known, made use of poison to ac-
complish his purpose. 1t is probable that,
owing to the conflicting testimony of the
experts, there would have been either an
acquittal or a mistrial had it not been for the
testimony that the accused man, Harris,
treated his wife in the most cruel and heart
less manner. The wife was student at a
fashionable boarding school in New York at
the time Of her death. and her marriage to
Harris was a secret to all except her
mother.
The evidence was that Harris led the girl
to consent to a secret marriage, and becom-
ing tired Of her desired to get rid of her.
Under the pretense of prescribing for her
for a cold he contrived to administer to her
enough morphine in one dose to kill half
dozen persons.
No doubt an effort will be made to get a
new trial for him. He did not believe he
would be convicted. and, therefore, main
tained very confident attitude from the
beginning to the ending Of the trial. And
now he hopes probably that by means of
technicalities he will be able to secure a
new trial and az acquittaL
That he is a cold-blooded and cowardly
villain there is little room to doubt. And he
is very young to be a principal in such
tragedy. His plans were well laid to escape
the consequences Of his act, and he would
have escaped them probably had his general
treatment of his wife been kind aud conside-
rate. The chances are that he will never
have another opportunity to take human
life by means of morphine or other wise.

PROTECT the Pavemsnt.

Since the completion of the asphalt pave
| ment on Bull street, from Bay street to
Harris, that street has become thorough
fare as far south as Liberty street for drays,
trucks. coal and wood carts. 1t is natural
of course, that the best roadway should be-
| chosen, but there is no good reason why the
council should not prohibit by ordinance
the using Of Bull street for heavy hauling
Jefferson and Drayton streets will answer
every purpose for heavy wagons. IL Bull
street is used for heavy traffic it will not be-
long before the asphalt will be full of holes.
The asphalt pavement is not suitab lie for
traffic of that sort.
II the council will consider this matter at
once and pass the necessary prohibiting
ordinance it will find it much more easy to
enforce such an ordinance than if it waits
year or two and the people become &C.
customed TO using Bull street for heavy
traffic.
The ashphalt pavements are costing the
people good deal Of money, but they are
willing to pay for them. Indeed, the as
phalt pavement is the only kind of pave>
ment the people seem to be willing to be
taAeu AOi. Dub GHeTe Is no RoOQ
reason why the Bull street
pavement should be subjected to unneces-
sarily hard usage. Jefferson street runs
parallel with Bull and it is well paved
street. 1t will answer every purpose for
heavy and heavily-laden wagons. Bull
street, when its pavement is completed,
will be very handsome street. 1t will be
a suDerb drive Let il he so DrOtecte1 that
it's beauty will not be quickly impaired.

cording to the same paper New York
state is Democratic by not less than

plurality Of not less than 1000 on the

Massachusetts, 1t is claimed by the
Tribune, has chosen Harrison electors

The great day has como and gone.
Nary "scrap' to record in White Oaks,
not even dog fight. Everything passed
off SIN oothly. A great many of our bus
mess men dropped business for the
nonce and got out and hustled for their
friends. The EAGLE did likewise. The
registration books showed total of 331
registered voters in this precinct. but the
voto polled fell far short OF that, only
275 votes being cast. The man with
his "little scratch" was out in force and
the ballots bore evidence that he did
his work thoroughly.
Mr.. Schinzing has reason tofeel proud
OF his race in this precinct, but from the
latest reports received today it looks as
though the handsome majority given
him here would avail him nothing. Mr..

about 100. Oh Lord!

THROW HIM OVER.

Now it is insisted by the HARRISON
ollowers that CLARKSoN must go over
the breastworks. AS the head of the
national committee his place must know
him no more. it is assumed that his
effort to put the Iowa vote in his pocket
with a BLAINE label about it is a fail
ure, and the officeholders will be able to
hitch it to the grandfather's hat. The
wreck of the anti movement in Iowa
will be accompanied by general col
lapse, and the HARRISON tempest will
sweep over the June eoncourse at Min
neapois at a llvelier gait than did the
March winds. The kickers may find
their fate in that of Congressman
WHITE in the Indiana conven-
ton Thursday. "What has HARRI-
son done?" Like the roar of waters
comes the response, everything
WRITE was crushed, and the mangled
remains of CLARKsoN will go over.
That is, perhaps. There is no abatement

Archbishop Ireiand's Elevation to

Archbishop Ireiand's Elevation to
the Rank Of Cardinal.
PittsbrFg Dispatch.
A remarkable indication Of the pro-
gressive spirit in the Roman church is
afforded in the Endorsement of Arch
bishop Ireland by the official organ of
the vatican, and in the very decided in
timation that this Endorsement is to be
followed by eleyating the archbishop to
the rank of cardinal. 1t contains the
further significance that whatever dis
putes there may have been about it i'll
the past. the Roman Catholic church
under the present pope is to stand III
the United States avowedly and indis-
putably on the platform of harmony
with our non-sectarian institutions.
The complaint against the archbishop
has been thathe is too liberal, especially
on the subject of education. lie has
placed himself squarely against the use
OF public money to support denomna-
tional schools, and has urged the main
tenance OF public education on strictly
unsectarian basis. This radical depart
ure from what has been generally re-
garded as the unvarying Catholic policy
led to an appeal to Rome. The MOni-
is an authorized assertion that the Vat
ican shares his views, and places the
whole Catholic policy in unison with the
distinct separation of church and state
in this country. 1t says:
The ideal of this distinguished man has
been to extend the influence of the church
by taking advantage of the condition of the
times to follow Catholic tradition without
fearing changes i'll form and situations and
to adapt the undying vitality of the Catholic
faith to newly developed needs. to place re-
ligion above political parties, to unite in
stead of dividing, and to imbue the young
American republic with Christian thought
as Pope Leo sought to imbue the republic Of
France Archbishop Ireland belongs, with
his whole soul, to the school of Pope Leo.
If this declaration is followed up by
placing the energetic and liberal arch
bishop at the head of the church in this
country. as the American cardinal, it
will inaugurate new era. 1t will first
terminate the difficult problems arising
out of the questions of education and
religion by reserying religious educa-
ton, so far as it trenches upon Sectarlan
differences, for the home and the
church. In addition it should disarm
the jealousy of the Protestant elements
against supposed intention of Cath
oIicism to invade and capture the
| schools. The Catholic church under
| this policy will bring its magnificent or
ganization and discipline to works of
| charity and evangelism with as undls-
puted separation from political or gov
| ernmental functions as that OF any
other denomination.

In his Boston speech he sounded the
party alarm over the pervading dispo-

trust in Republican newspapers. Just
how many million more readers found
their opinions best indicated in Demo-

now material. 1t was an unpalatable
truth to those left in the newspaper

settled order of things, like the dissolute

be in sympathy with the money barons
who would destroy liberty to increase
their gains. His beginnings were of
the humblest, and his DEVELOPMENT and
progress were slow. He was forty years
of age when he settled in a small Iowa
town with the hope of bettering his con-
dition. He was sixteen years older be-
fore he began to take leading part in
the political contests Of his state. In
the meantime he had been country
lawyer and farmer. He had tried his
cases we'll, but they probably were
never very important ones. 1t does not
appear that he was retained by railroad
companies, or made close business al
liances with the moneyed corporations

cent men. He had no reputation for
