PRoMPTNEss Is DESIRABLE.

In view of the evidence already pro-
duced in support of the charges
of conspiracy to poison non-union
workmen at Homestead, the District At
torney could not-conslstently with a
proper discharge of his duty-avoid or
dering the arrest of the men implicated
therein. The nature and gravity of the
charges are such as to demand prompt
and careful action on the part of The Com
monwealth. These, cases are essentially
of public nature, and no effort should be
spared to bring them to speedy trial
The men charged with offenses so
heinouS and dastardly should be given as
early an opportunity as possible to esta6-
lsh their innocence if vindication be
within their power.
In one case at least there is more than
the individual character of the accused at
stake. The labor organization which he
represents cannot afford to be smirched
by charges brought against him as one OF
its officials There is no doubt that even
were the worst proven in this case, the
man as an ex-officio individual alone
would be guilty and his guilt would involve
no criminaiity in and receive no extenua-
ton from the labor union he officially
serves But until the case has been tried
it is as true as it is regretable that public
opinion will allow itself to be prejudiced
to less or greater extent against not only
the individual but those with whom he
has associated.
Lei it be distinctly understood that
men and organizations must alike be neld
innocent until proven guilty. But in
the interest both OF justice and humanity
the speediest analysis possible should be
made of charges involving excessive GRIM
inai brutality, so that vindicaton or pun
ishment may be substituted for accuSa-
ton and suspicion with as little delay as
possible.

AGAINST THE GERRYMANDER.

The Supreme Court of Indiana has
Joined the list of judicial tribunals declar-
ing the unconstitutionality of manipulat-
ing appOrtlonments so as to serve party
interests at the cost of equal representa-
ton for the people. The Indiana decision
is the most sweeping that has yet been
rendered, as it declared all the apportion-
ments of that State unconstitutional back
to that of 1879, only recognizing the pres
ent Legislature as de fGctO body quail
fed to enact law to take the place of the
invalid one
So far the Indiana decision is thor
oughly non-partisan, and confirms the as
sertion often made in these colums that
the vice of gerrymandering is not espe-
cially confined to one party, but is CON-
mon to both. With the decisions that
have been rendered this year-excepting
that of New York-the judicial doctrine
is broadly laid down that the Legislature
cannot disregard the constitutional re.
quirement of impartial and equal repre-.
sentation. This stand vigorously enforced
by the courts may result in the abolition
of the evil 1t is one of the most encour.
aging features of the time that in render
ing these decisions-with the exception
already noted-the Judges have not per.
mitted party feelings to sway their views
on constitutional law.
At the same time there is one fact in
connection with the method of the Indi
ana court which is a little peculiar. The
case was argued before that body last fall
but the decision was held over until last
week, and in the interv the election
took place. Does not the outcome of the
case indicate that it might have been bet
ter if the court could have arrived at it:
decision before another and purely de factt
Legislature was chosen under an uncon.
stitutional apportionment?

NEW FEATURES IN EXCHANGE.

There are some curious features in con-
nection with the shipments of gold for
which pubIicists have as yet failed to find
an explanation The draft upon the gold
of this country is generally accounted for
by the efforts of Austria to accumulate a
gold supply-a cotemporary illustration of
the insufficiency of the worlds store of
the metal. But cotemporaneousiY with
last weeks shipment comes the report
from London of an almost unprecedented
monetary surplus, due, it is stated, ''to
the fact that American gold exports are
supplying European demands, which
would otherwise have been made on Lon
don."
Such an assertion is surprising as init
mating that London has lost its old posi-
ton as the clearing house of the world.
The usual process is that European de-
mands for money would be made on Lon
don and if sufficient to cause hardening
of the money market there would produce
a condition of exchange that brings ship
ments of specie from New York. The
apparent departure from this method of
procedure is emphasized by the fact that
while the London money market is ex-
ceptionally easy the gold has been taken
from New York, where there was tight
ening of the money market sufficient to
affect some of the speculative stocks.
This allegation is an addition to the al
ready unique feature of continued gold
shipments i'll face of enormous balance of
trade in favor of this country If this
process is not pushed to the depletion Of
our gold reserve it will be an advantage,
for the only explanation is that United
States securities are being returned to us
in large quantities. This country can
well afford to sell its products to Europe
and take its own investment in return;
and should be glad to continue the process
until it holds ali of its own securities and
perhaps choice assortment of the invest
ments Of other nations
The question how near we may be to
the latter goal attains a decided pertin-
ence in the presence of statement that
we are dealing directly with Europe in the
matter of gold shipments, entirely inde-
pendent of the London money market

TROLLEYs AND SUBSTITUTES.

There Is material for public INQUIRY in
the assertion made by a writer in the De-
trOit Free Press, that storage battery
under sixty days test in that city made a
better record than any trolley motor in
the city, but that street railroad men re-
fuse TO recognize It. The assertion is
further made that experts employed by a
Detroit company to report on Storage bat
Ueries made an adverse report without
coming near the battery which is asserted
10 have worked so successfully.
Ii is sale to assume that this is an ex-
parte statement; but the allegation of
such positive hostility to the electric
storage battery is ground enough for a
word of warning. The electric lines in
all our cities have been given important
privileges IN the streets which are accom-
panied with positive public duties. One
of the clearest of these is that they shall
not maintain in the streets any longer
than is necessary what must always be an
eneumbrance and may at times develop
into positive danger. The duty of the
trolley lines, and the highest interest in
the long run, is to find a substitute for
their poles and wires as soon as the econ
omy of that substitute is practically de-
monstrated.
1t is easily seen that the invest

TWELVE PAGES
THE FRENCH CRISIS.

The cablegrams from Paris published in
The DISPATCH this morning are impreg-
mated with the feverish unrest and vio-
lent excitement now prevalent in the
French capital Yesterday added ten to
the rapidly growing list of those accused
of corruption in connection with the Pan
ANA scandal. Five of the new suspects
are Senators-two being former Cabinet
Mmisters-and the remainder Deputies.
The area of implication appears almost
unlimited, and while there is little doubt
but that some of the accused will be able
on trial to establish their innocence, there
is no wonder that an impulsive people
deeming itself robbed at every hand is
almost bereft Of reason in its effort to find
some foundation for fault amid the repu-
tatiOns ruined by the food of disclosed
corruption. One after another the popu-
lar Idols are being shattered, and in the
general iconoclasm French faith in French
honor is threatened with almost total sub
version. Duels to the death between

As our special correspondent remarks:
1.-THE expected never happens in France"
and it is impossible to foretell with any
pretense to prescience what will be the
outcome of the conflicting forces. 1t is
the unreliable volatility of the French
nature and the resultant uncertainty as to
what sudden turn events may take that
make the serious gravity of the crisis
through which the third Republic is un
doubtedly passing. Friends of Repub-
hcanism can only hope that the abuse of
free institutions will not be confounded
with their use to compass their downfall
A wholesome purgation of the whole cor
rupt political system in France may be
the only and a truly valuable outcome of
the passing frenzy. But if that be all,
France will have a miraculous escape.
The French people and the French Re-

WAR VESSELS ON THE LAKES.
Some Startling Reports Emphatically De
MED by Sir Charles Tupper.

Some Startling Reports Emphatically De-
MED by Sir Charles Tupper.
OTTAWA, ONT, Dec. 20. - Especial l-Sir
Charles H. Tupper, Minister of Marines
and Fisheries of the Dominion, when shown
to-day a Washington dispatch in which
Lieutenant Corden stated there was great
excitement on both American and Canadian
sides of the $780," regarding the building of
gunboats by the Canadian Governments,
said: eve are not building war vessels but
we have built q couple of small vessels at
Owen Sound, which we are using in connec-
tion with the fishery protective service.
The Petrol, launched recently, is not yet
completed. 1t is built on the same model
as the other two, the Constance and the
Curlew, and is l2O tons net, carrying Is
I hands. That is all there is to the story.
Some parties in the States are looking for
an infraction of the treaty on the Canadian
side, as far as building war vessels is con-
cerned, SO that they may go into the busi-
ness themselves. We have not violated any
treaty rights"
A telegram from Washington says: The
report does not excite any apprehension or
alarm at the Treasury Department. As
sistant Secretary Spaulding says he has no
fear that England will at any time endeavor
TO rush fleet of so vessels through tine st.
Lawrence to the lakes, nor that the British
vessels now on the lakes will ever seriously
menace either the commerce of the inland
seas OF Cno gredC clIleS CnaC ll0 on Ln0 DOf-
ders thereof.
Owing to the absence from the city of
Captain SheDhard the report has not yet
been officially communicated to the officials
OF the Treasury Department, and hence its
contents have not been transmitted to the
Department. of State. Secretary J. W. Fos-
ter stated to-day that no information of the
building of vessels on the lakes by Canada
had been received by his department since
the date of his recent report to the Presi-
dent upon the treaty of 1871 regulating the
force of armed vessels to be maintained on
the lakes, which WAS transmitted to Con-
gross week before last.
SIS it the policy of the United States to
meet an increase OF force on the lakes by
Canada by similar increase of our own
armaments," was asked.
Speaking only for the State Department."
WAS the reply, Il should say the United
States will not build any revenue cutters on
the lakes unless it needs them. That is a
question for the Treasury Department to
determine. When additional ships are
necessary in the current business of the
country, they will be constructed, and not

ment of the present companies in their
poles, wires and trolley motors may make
them 10th to make the change. But that
investment is slight beside their public
privileges and public obligations. Beyond
that, it is an especially wanton class of
obstruction to seek to suppress the recog-
milton of recent inventions or to condemn
them without an examination. If any
such one-sided action has been taken as
is reported from Detroit, it amounts to
another example of the disregard of pub
lie Obligations by corporations which are
enjoying highly valuable public fran
chiSes.
1t cannot of course be positively
affirmed on such evidence that the case is
exactly as alleged But it should be made
a canon of public principle that when the
storage battery or other acceptable SUBJ
stitute for the trolley has proved its use
fulness its adoption by the present trolley
lines will be made compulsory.

man of rs and the girl he proposes to marry

Miss Maude Miller he wants to wed is poor.
There are children of the aged lover who
fear that Miss Miller will beguile him out Of
