There Is at last q prospect that dilatory
appeals in habeas corpus cases to the Supreme
Court Of tho United States in order to prevent
the execution OF convicted murderers will
soon be rendered impossible.
Col JOHN r. FELLOWS OF this city has intro
duced in the House OF Representatives bill
to amend the section Of the Revised Statutes
OF the United States which stays proceedings
on appeal in habeas corpus cases. by exclud-
ing from its provisions all capital cases where
the appellant is under sentence OF death. "ex-
cept upon the express order and direction Of
the Judge from whose decision tho appeal is
taken. who may at his discretion order q stay
OF execution Of such sentence Of death pend
ing the final determination OF such appeal"
We would suggest one change: The power
to stay proceedings should not be confined to
the Judge whose decision is to be reviewed.
The Judges Of the appellate court should also
be permitted to grant stay In the exercise Of
their discretion But with this addition or
amendment. the bill should be enacted into o
law without delay.

To THE EDITOR OF TIE SUN-Sir: Being a

such arrest.
When FIRST called upon Justice Mitchell to
retain him as counsel in my case he was pre-
siding in his court and was unable to consult

published In the Evening Post concerning my

me he would read the articles in question. OK.
anime the authorities concerning libel and
also the law relating to the liberty OF the press.
and requested me to call in a few days. did
call. and at our second interview. nfter spend
ing some time together in consultation. re-
quested him to prepare complaints for libel.
both criminal and civil. The complaints were
prepared and. being voluminous. Mr. Mitchell
sent them to the printer to be printed. He
was compelled to go to Washington on some
business Of his own. and WAS, was absent two

have to apply ut the Fifty-seventh Street Police
Court, but Mr.. Mitchell suggested that on ac-
count OF the defendant being an editor some
comment might be unjustly made that tho

that, therefore. it would be- better that should
apply for Il warrant ut the police court nearest

Der OF corporations. but identical in man.
agement The old shares In the corpora
tons which formed tho trust will be sup
planted by new shares in the several
corporations. AS change OF form this is
a change. As n change Of substance 1t
is not substantial.
We suppose that the demagogues and tho
fools who are convinced OF tho special wick
edncss OF trusts. will DO happy now that
the greatest OF trusts has taken meas
ures to seem to purge itself Of wickedness.
Persons who don't care to DO victims OF
humbug know TINT n trust Is only one OF q
number OF ways Of carrying on great
business economically and prontably. The
principle OF trusts Is simply the principle
OF partnership and tho principle OF combl-
nation. Ignorant legislation fights against
those principles in vain. This or that name
may be tabooed. The principle. the sub
stance. remains. Civilization cannot be
forced backward. Besides. has not the
poet written:
"The unjust trust

And while We are dealing with the subject
we may rs well. perhaps. record some ad-
ditional observations. Except upon tho part
OF few uninstructed newspapers. some OF
them honest. out Of the many that habitu-
ally clamor against trusts. We have never
yet known an attack made upon trust
that had its origin in common hon
csty. In an honorable Difference to en-
acted law. orr in genuine desire to
promote the public welfare. No prosecu-
ton. no legal assault upon tho trust idea.
has yet been undertaken except for the
purpose OF making money. In the whole
history OF tho trusts this has invariably
been tho case. and in no one instance
has tho machinery OF the law been
set in motion that tho handspring
OF action has not been short in
terest in the market. And throughout
it all. tho bears. the professional destroyers
of values. tho most corrupt and unprin-
cipled elements that the conditions of
modern commerce have brought into exist
cnce. tho pirates and highwaymen OF the
Exchanges. have had the enthusiastic
support of every fool newspaper. great and
small, in the whole United States.

A few days ago that eminent champion Of
Southern sentiment. the Atlanta Constitu-
ton. beamed with light fit for an unusually
profitable study Of the Mugwump sanctum
wherein sits that preposterous tumefaction
OF modern politics. the Hon. GROVER CLEvE-
LAND. Our contemporary asked: Is Mr..

Mr.. CLEVELAND Is an independent adven-
turer in public life. whose relations with the
Democracy have been purely official. His

political. He is fellow Of the spirits which
his mind can grasp" and hence Is for
CLEVELAND, first and last. and the Demo-
cratic party. which he has never compre-
hended. and never liked, he Is not for
at all. He Is Democrat neither by
inheritance nor by cultivation. so accord
ing to that view, when he reveals
himself in opposition to the Democratic
organization he cannot be regarded strictly
as bolter. He has never bolted his own
profit. public or private.

Palatka and made good his escape. The
other man ran the other way, aad was
shot in the leg by Wurtz as he was
going.
A posse summoned from Palatka
reached the scene in an hour or go and
began securing the woods. Suddenly
from behind tree shot was fred, mar

CHICAGO, May 25.-The passengers on

escape from death at an early hour this
morning. She was bound from Holland

the steamer Pilgrim, bound from Chi
cago to Saugatauk. The vessels met
with terrific force, the Kalamazoo
being cut down to the waters edge. The
panic that ensued was awful. Women
ran from end to end OF the boat, without
clothing, crying for help. Fortunately,
however, sthe Pilgrim, although her
bows were badly crushed, was not ma
terially injured, and the work of
rescuing began at once, she being
brought broadside to the Kalamazoo,
and in short time all the passengers
and crews were safely transferred. The
Pilgrim then started back for Chicago,
and endeavored to tow the Kalamazoo
in, but the steamer was go badly
injured1 that she filed rapidly, and in a
short time had sunk to the bottom of
Lake Michigan. Most of the passengers ;
effects were saved. Their escape is re-

time was very smooth. Had storm

BAN DIEGO, May 25.-There has been
a strong current of indignation through
out the city today over the destruction
OF non-union blacksmith shop by dy-
Mantle on Tuesday night. The owner of
the building was B. F. Fredericks, q
prominent Democratic politician. A
blacksmith named Schmidt rented it
from him. Both men declare that they
received number of threats during the
past few weeks. Persons; whom they
name, have, they declare, sworn to de-
stroy their shop, home and other prop
erty, and even take their lives, unless
the shop joined the blacksmiths' union.
Frederick and Schmidt say they know
three men who have made threats, and
will prosecute the matter.
I This afternoon the Blacksmiths' un-
ion issued circular offering 500 re-
ward for the detection and arrest of the
perpetrators of the outrage, and de-
nouncing the act. lf
This afternoon George Lemon and his
father, who are in the bicycle and lock-
smith business, found q bomb with q
long fuse in the back part Of their store.
The fuse had been lighted, but had gone
out. Considerable uneasiness is felt.
