for this change has arrived. They hsve
declared through Mr., BouprNor before the
House Committee on Territories that they
do not feel competent yet to enter into inc
race with the white mon. Their people are
not yet we'll enough educated. and great
number do not properly understand English.
while even their lands are still held IN COM
mon. They want more time to bring their
people to the ways Of white men before
throwing down the barriers that treaties
have created for their protection.
Whether they are too self-distrustiui IN
this matter or not. there can be little doubt
that Congress will shield them In their
treaty rights. When the ssveralty Allot-
ment act was passed. the five civilized
tribes were specially exempted from Its
operation save by their consent. although
they we're the best fitted to accept the new
system. And tho simple reason for this
exemption was that they were entitled to It
under their treaties. In the Same way
when the Territory Of Oklahoma was estab-
lished. only few years ago. and 1t was
urged that the whole OF the Indian Terri
tory should be included for mere purposes
OF Jurisdiction. Congress refused. on tho
ground that this would violate treaty
rights. Doubtless the same regard to good
faith will prevail now.

The Single Reason.

The anti-Democratio kickers can point to
no other Ineligible explanation Of their
objecting to the programme Of the New
York Democracy than the PnArr-C1EvE.
LAND candidate for Mayor. FRANCIS N.
SCoTT's remark that. II the Convention
called for Feb "a were "in the interest OF
GROVER CLEVELAND. they would all be at
home tonight"
The talk about the State Convention on
Feb. % being exceptionally early is not
supported by the facts.
The cry that tho Convention will not be
properly qualified to express the sentiment
Of the party is falsehood born Of disap-
pointment at not controlling it.
The suggestion that delay would change
its character Is too absurd to be credited
to delusion: it is humbug.
There Is no other concrete and debatable
motive back Of the Mugwumps' opposition
to the coming Democratic State Convention
than that expressed in Mr.. Scorr's view.
His overlooking and overlooked friends
are In favor OF tho defeated Mugwump as
tho leader Of the reorganizcd and trlum.
plant Democracy. and they are against any
other man. particularly the one to whom
Democratic strength Is chiefly and most d.
rectly to be attributed.
Happily the time Is by when this sort OF
folly con run the Democratic party Of the
Empire State.

merely TO open the painters eyesto effects mos
commonly painted In former days. and to free
his hand from tho trammels OF tradition. We
do not remark many works in which direct iini-
tatlon appears, nor many where We feel that
the artists attitude toward nature is forced
instead OF q natural one. The most charac-
tcristically Imprcssionistic pictures. perhaps.
are those Of Mr. Frapzen. who ia rs uncompro-

is n personal quality about the work which
half reconciles US to its imperfections. We
believe that he paints In this way not because
certain other men do. but because he really
thinks II the best way; and. in the rustic iig-
ures which are resting themselves beside his
vvidly yellow cornfeld. he shows a rather un.

Perhaps tho most noteworthy painting OF

the seat OF old and famous colleges draw
ing more than one-third Of their students
from other States. and moro especially
from the Middle States, which alone give
them one-flfth. Connecticut, for instance,
has tho largest proportionate attendance OF
any State In the Union. but more than
threc-auartors Of the students at Yale
como from outside Of Connecticut. This
fact. therefore. should be borne In mind
when Mr.. CoMEY thus computes the per-
centage OF college students per 100000 OF
population In the different divisions OF the
Union In 1900:
New England ..1IS.7 Central ..-"........te
Mddo .............. &c Western ......... ...8i q
southern ......... 80. oiPacino ............. <%2
New York suffers especially IN such n Ia
Bile OF percentages. both because 30 large
part Of its students are sent to colleges In
other States and because Mr.. CoMEY omits
from consideration the special schools for
which this city Is becoming more and more
distinguished. Whatever happens. this mi
grafton OF New York students to college
settlements In other States Is likely to con-
tinue undimlnished. so general is the prefer
cnce among young men for such college
life; but as the university system develops.
the advantages OF great town are shown
to he essential to 1t. The academic depart
mont of college may prosper better In a
small community. Of which the college Is
the central feature. but for the special and
professional schools which supplement tho
college course great capital Is unques-
tionably tho fittest place.
Hero in New York. therefore, tho build
ing up Of comprehensive university sys-
tom. rather than any effort to compete
with tho rural colleges. should be the chief
concern OF those interested in the higher
education. The purely college departments
will take care Of themselves. for the num-
Der Of students who are forced by circum-
stances to attend colleges near their homes
will always be enough to keep such depart
ments sufficiently supplied with young men
in this great centre Of population.
Hence. our college trustees should con-
centrate their efforts to bring about
union or federation Of the now competing
colleges. 40 that together they may make
up the great university. for which New
York offers advantages and opportunities
not obtalnable elsewhere in the Union.

Tho Multiplication Of Monuments.

Three bills relating to the erection OF
monuments or statues were introduced
into the Senate Of the United States on
Thursday. A bill presented by Mr.. Nc
PETERSON Of New Jersey appropriates $4,000
for building monument In commemora-
ton Of the battle Of Princeton. A bill intro
duced by Mr.. GALLINaEB OF New Hamp-
shire uppropriates $4,000 for the erection
Of an equestrian statue OF Gen. JOHN
STARK. A third bill. which was laid before
tho Senate by Mr.. VOORHEES, of Indiana ap-
propriates $4,000 to be expended In making
a statue Of Con. ZACHARY TAYLOR. the hero
Of Buenn Vista.
It may strike the economical mind that
$4,000 is rather q large cum to appropriate
for statues and monuments In single day.
We do not criticise the objects for which 1t
Is proposed to spend this money: but would
it not be wise for the immediate successor
Of the Billion Congress to restrict rather
than to enlarge the sphere OF public expen-
diture just at this timer
In addition to the measures we have men
toned. there are at least two bills now be-
fore Congress relating to national monu-
ments in the State Of New York. One Of
these provides for the erection and compile
ton OF a monument ct Fort Greene. in
Brooklyn. in memory Of the twenty thou
sand American prisoners Of war who died
in the British prison ships in Wallabout
Bay during the Revolution. This measure
has been before Congress six or seven
years. and has been reported favorably
again and again. The cost Of the proposed
monument is estimated to be not less than
one hundred thousand dollars. The other
New York bill which has just been reported
favorably from the House Committee on
the Library appropriates about $4,000 for
the completion and dedication Of the monu-
ment commcmorating the surrender Of BUR-
GoYNE at Saratoga. The first steps toward
the erection OF this monument were taken
in 1859 by the late HoRAT1o SEYMOUR and q
number OF other public-spirited citizens.
who formed the Saratoga Monument Asso-
citation and bought piece OF land overlook
ing the meadow where the British surren-
dcrcd and began to build monument there
The work has since been carried on by means
OF private subscriptions and two appropria-
tons from Congress. one OF $4,000 and
another of $40 600: and as the result there is
ut Saratoga q handsome granite shaft 155
feet in height. The monument. however is
not quite finished according to the designs.
and 1t will require about $4,000 more to
complete and dedicate it.
1t Ia plain that this Saratoga monument
should not be loft in an unfinished condl-
ton. and inasmuch as the national Govern
ment has undertaken SO large share OF the
| work. 1t may as we'll go on to the end Con-
gress ought therefore. to pass this bll
but Us to the other proposed monuments
and statues. none Of which has yet been
begun, we think that favorable action may
just as we'll be deferred until some moro OPP
perfume season.

Tho Celebrity Of the Law.

So much is said nowadays about the laws
delays that 1t Is very satisfactory to DO
able to record one instance In which q cap
ital case has been prosecuted with all suit
able promptitude to final determination
SO far at least as the courts Of this State are
concerned. On Tuesday the Court Of APP
peals ut Albany affirmed the judgment Of
death rendered In the Court Of Sessions in
Kings county against JEREMIAH CoTTo,
who was convicted in December. 1891. OF the
murder OF LUIGI FRANcAros. in Brooklyn.
on the cath day Of the previous July.
Tho convicted murderer was taken before
the Kings county Court OF Sessions on Satur-
day, in order that q new date might be
fixed for his execution. the time prescribed
in the original sentence having passed
while his appeal. which stayed.al proceed
ings. was pending. The law requires that
the week within which the death penalty Is
to be inflicted shall begin not less than four
weeks and not more than eight weeks from
tho time Of sentence: and CoTro will be-
executed In the week beginning on the 2sth
of March next. within less than ten months
after the commission of his crime. unless the
Governor commutes his sentence or his
case Is taken to the Supreme Court Of the
United States by habeas corpus proceedings.
In the case OF CHARLES NICKNAME, who
was put to death at Sing Sing on the 9Th
inst. the crime Of which he was convicted
was committed on Aug. "a. 1889. He was
promptly tried and was originally sentenced
on Oct. Is. 1889. but In consequence OF an
error In the admission OF evidence the jud9-
ment was reversed by the Court Of Appeals.
and the prisoner was tried q second time and
was convicted and again sentenced to death
on Oct. /. 1890. The Court Of Appeals sus-
tanned this second conviction. whereupon
an application was made to the Circuit
Court Of the United States In this city for
writ OF habeas corpus. and from an order
denying this application the prisoner ap-
pealed to the Supreme Court at Wash
ington. The effect OF taking this appeal
was to stay the execution Of the death sem
tence until the Supreme Court affirmed the
act Of the Circuit Court In refusing to
grant the writ Of habeas corpus. This 1t
did on Dec. q. 1891: and thereupon the
Court OF Oyer and Terminer In Brooklyn
ordered that the judgment OF death already
pronounced should DO inflicted some time
during the week beginning on Feb. 8. Nearly
two years and q half elapsed between the
homicide OF which McELvAINE was CON-
victed and the punishment Of the murderer.
The provisions Of the New York Code of
Criminal Procedure relating to persons
convicted OF murder In the first degree
command the Sheriff to deliver the convict
to the agent and Warden Of the State prison
designated in the warrant OF execution
within ten days after tho warrant IL Issued.
and the Warden. after receiving the

prisoner. 10 required to keep him IN
solitary confinement In the State prison
until the infilction Of the punishment
OF death. II was insisted by the counsel for
MoELvAnsE, In his argument before the
Supreme Court. that the solitary conflne-
ment thus provided for constituted cruel
and unusual punishment, and hence was
prohibited by the Eighth Amendment to
the Federal Constitution. which provides
that excessive bail shall not be required.
nor excessive fines imposed. nor cruel and
unusual punishments inflicted. This was
the only point OF any importance presented
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES. The Supreme Court,
however. followed Its own decision In the
KEMSrLER case, holding that the enactment
OF the statute was within tho legitimate
sphere Of the Legislative power Of the State.
and that "a the New York Legislature had
determined that 1t did not infllct cruel and
unusual punishment. and Its courts had
sustained that determination. It could not
be said that the State had abridged the
privileges or immunitles Of the defendant
or deprived him OF the due process Of law
to which he was entitled.
OF course. 1t Is possible that the same
course may be taken In CoTTo's case as was
taken In behalf OF NICKNAME. and that his
execution may thus be further delayed. but
every substantial question that could be
presented seems already to have been deter
mined by the Supreme Court Of the United
States. The fact that such dilatory proceed
ings. without any merit In them. are prac-
ticable under the existing statutes regulat-
ing procedure In the Federal courts should
Induce Congress at once to repeal the law
which makes the allowance OF an appeal in
habeas corpus proceedings operative OF
itself rs stay. A stay ought to
be permitted In proper cases. but
only upon the express order OF Judge to
that effect. We call the attention Of the
Senators and Representatives In Congress
from this State to the Importance OF imme-
date action in this matter. Again and
again within the last few years the enforce
ment OF the criminal law Of New York has
been obstructed by means OF dilatory ha-
bess corpus proceedings IN the Federal
courts. 1t Is the plain duty Of Congress so
to amend the law as to prevent further re-
eort to the courts OF the United States In
such cases purely for purposes Of delay.
Senator HILL is thoroughly familiar with
the experiences Of our State authorities in
this matter. and II he will take it up with
his usual vigor. we have no doubt the re-
quired amendment will speedily be effected.
