accomplished than has been done so lar since
Mr.. Ncoll became District Attorney. 1t IS the
general impression that Mr.. NjcoQ is TOO III
dulgent and easy going with his assistants 'na'
he does not keep them under sufficiently rigorous
discipline, and that he allows them in too many
cases to neglect the interests Of the pubic I'D
order that they may prosecute private business
Most of them are not specially hard- Workihs
men. and there is reason to fear that the DIS
trict-A Attorney himself does not give 20 many
hours of energetic labor to the duties of his office
an might be desirable Certainly there is no
necessity for an additional part of the Court OF
General Sessions until it is proved that the DIS
rct-Atorneys office can keep busy at all proper
time, the existing parts of that court and tho
present Judges Only the other day the Court OF
General Sessions was obliged to adjourn at
o'clock because there were ne cases ready Tor
trial. II is advisable from every point OF view
that our District Attorney should stay away from
Albany, should devote himself jealousy to the
Improvement of his office, and should get harder
work and more intelligent work out OF his as
sistants. The distrust in the community as to
the efficiency of the office as it is now organHed
and managed gains ground daily.

In letter carefully timed to appear at the

March 81
WHAT ARE WE COMING TOT
In refusing to admit Webster to bail after the dis
agreement Of the jury Judge Andrews declared he
could not understand how any honest intelligent Juror
could favor acqulttal on the evidence produced.
If ever evidence warranted a verdict OF murder In
the first degree" said Recorder Smyth In Italian
murder case tried before him. the evldcrce in this
case did. II premeiitated, deliberate murder.
Yet the Jury let the murderer oil with Imprisonment.
When the jury acquitted Ramsey, tried for shooting
his wife, Judge MARITIME used this significant guage
Grimes of this sort growing more numerous
daily and In my judgment the blame must be placed
upon Jurors who refuse to act upon the evidence and
who travel outside Of II TO find excuses for cline.
THE jury-boX has become nursery for such
crimes
There must be something radically wrong with Jury
trials OF murder and shooting In this city when
three Judges within fortnight.
The present condition of affairs should excite
the grave concern of every man who believes
that quarres should be settled peaceaby and by
appeals to the courts rather than by resort TO
the pistol and the knife. We are not now living
in an age Of barbarism, and there is no more
pressing duty upon our courts and public off
Gals than to see to it that the alarming outbreak
of crimes of violence shall be stenIy suppressed.
1t is not only the jury system that is in fault
for the existing deplorable state of things. If

Now that the Senate has done its duty in
voting to repeal the Speedway Act, the AS
semby ought not to lnger far behind. The
facts and the situation are well understood.
No more arguments should be required Still
if it is necessary, the committee appointed a
week ago will take further active steps to let
the Assembly know the state of public feeling
on the subject in this city. But we hardly
think this will be found necessary, the author
of the law Senator Plunkitt having squarey
repudated it. The sooner final action is had
the better.
On the twelfth page of this issue will be
found an interview with Mr.. Charles Stewart
Smith, president of the Chamber Of Commerce
who was member of the party that recently
accompanied Mr. Carnegie in journey to Mex
leo, along the Pacific Coast and thence home
ward across the continent. Mr.. Smith is an
experienced traveller and keen-eyed observer
He has the faculty, moreover, of describing his
experiences in a bright and telling way, as
every reader of his interesting observations
will near witness.
The Grand Jury made two important pre-
sentiments yesterday. DR.. Parkhurst has good
reason to be satisfied with the first one which,
without referring to him or his society, sub
stantially indorses all of his recent allegations
regarding the failure of the police to suppress
gambling and disOrdery houses and to put
stop to violations of the Excise law. This pre-
sentiment virtually asserts that the police are
paid for their lax administration. Ii is I'M
fortunate that sufficient evidence was not pro-
durable to bring home this charge to indivd-
uals and to justify the finding of indictments
The second presentment condemns the So
called Spy Act and personal advertisements,
and bears down hard upon the clerk of the
Tombs Police Court for giving notice to a
gambling -house-keeper of an intended raid
The Grand Jury has done good piece of work.

Abolishing Canal TON Rebates.
ABscoNDED.
j. e. Gilman and the Assets of Flour
Firm Take Flight.

BosToN, August 12.-The firm of Gil
man, Cheney & Co., flour and grain com
mission merchants, in the Chamber OF
Commerce building, assigned today to
C. P. Searle. Rumor places the liabili-
ties at $3.50, 900; assets are not stated.
The failure is said to be due to the alb
sconding of the senior member of the
firm, j. E. Gilman. He is 45 years old,
owns an elegant residence in Newton
Vile. It is said the greater portion of
the estate left by w. F. Walker, who
died in 1888, and of which Mr.. Gilman
was executor, has been misappropriated
by Gilman. 1t is said Gilman had con-
troll of his fathers estate, which is be-
lieved to be quite large, and it is limited
that this too is in a muddle. Gilman
left town two weeks ago and had $4,000,
drawn from the firms money.
The creditors are mostly in Boston.
Cheney disclaims any knowledge of Gil
mans private affairs. The firm has
been doing losing business for some
time past.

THAT LETTER.
Grover Cleveland Much Mortified by II
Publication.

BuzzARD's BAY, Mass, August 12.-
Mr.. Cleveland was tonight shown his
published letter of July 27 written to
Mrs. E. K. White, niece of Colonel HI.
Clay King, which has caused no little
comment. The letter was personal
one, and Mr.. Cleveland was very much
surprised to find it was being published
broadcast and that it had been filed
among other documents with Governor
Buchanan. Mr.. Cleveland does not deny
writing the letter. The letter received
from Mrs. White was a very pathetic one
and certainly deserved an answer. Mr..
Cleveland reiterates his statement that
he fought not to interfere by applying
to the governor for mitigation of the SEN
tence." Mrs. Whites letter, which
stated the physical condition of her un-
Gle and other circumstances led Mr..
Cleveland to tender his sympathy for her
with earnest hope that the execution of
the death sentence might be avoided.

Naval Movements.

WASHINGTON, August 12.-For the first
time for two years the naval war college
at Newport will be opened again Sep
tember l, the new building having been
completed and put in order for the re-
ception of officers who will be ordered
there for course of instructions. 1t is
likely the ships now at Bar Harbor will
remain there for some days longer and
then proceed to Newport to take part in
sthe opening of the war college and sub
sequent drills.
The white squadron will probably lat
er on be merged into the North Atlantic
squadron, under command Of Rear Ad-
miral Gherardi, and in that event Ad-
miral Walker whose three years term of
sea service has about expired will be de-
tached and given shore duty.

ducts at present. The reasons for this,
according to an official statement given
out tonight are that the council is of the
opinion that the firm is not turning out
enough material or of quality as to just
ify a boycott. Should it be necessary in

strange claw. When the police authori-
ties were asked if such a hatchet was in
their custody they would neither admit
nor deny it. The matter, with all other
evidence, is now in control of District
Attorney Knowlton. The connection of
the hatchet with bloody deed of some
kind is almost beyond doubt, as spots of
blood have been found on the blade and
handle. Certain clothes covered with
blood found IN the cellar where the
hatchet was found are said to have an
important bearing on this part OF the
case.
