vigorous prosecution for perjury ought to
follow the decision of the scandalous Bates
case. The boldest and most persistent lying
under oath has been practised in court by one
side the other. If the plaintiff has sworn
falsely she has earned term in the peniten-
tiary. If the evil-minded boorish and impudent
defendant has committed perjury. he ought to
go to prison. The District-Attorneys Office
pursued the perjurer Hayes with relentless rigor
and brought signal punishment upon him. The
leaden heel Of Justice ought to do some uncom-

State Engineer schenck takes rather gloomy
view of the prospects of using electricity to pro-
pei canalboats. In this he differs from the ma
jority OF those who witnessed the recent expert
| ment at Rochester. He admits, Of course that
the experiment was success, but still he thinks
that 1t did not really prove anything. He thinks
that the trolley canalboat would have advan-

would. on the contrary, be inferior to 1t, in that
It could not proceed down the river independently,

four years Of it's existence that the trustees
find 1t necessary to have more room. There
are now 1903 students. The resources Of the
college have always been limited, but its friends
hope to be able to secure a site for new
building in the neighborhood of the site
OF Columbia College. and to erect there a build
ing which will be adequate to It's needs. An
unknown friend has given the college 100000
for building fund.- and $4,000 has already
been secured toward an endowment fund OF
100000. The outlook for the future is, accord |
ingly, good The existence of such an institu- |
ton In New-York Is in itself something to
crafty ard stimulate all the friends Of educa- |
ton here. and 1t Is greatly to be hoped that a |
sufficient degree OF interest will be aroused to |
cause liberal provision to be made for Barnard |
College.
The Democratic tariff tinkerers say In one |
breath that the Republican policy Of Protection
has stimulated manufactures to an unhealthy |
and feverish extent. and then in another breath |
declare that the Wilson scheme Of looping off |

Police Captain Devery. Of the Eleventh Police
Precinct. ought not to remain upon the police
force. DIR. Parkhursts society published list
OF Infamous resorts In his precinct. Captain
Devery made official report In which he de-
clared that every OF these places had been
closed Then DR.. Pa.khurst's society proved In
court by obtaining convictions that Devery's
report was false. Devery undoubtedly knew
that 1t was false when he wrote It, Now what
have the Grand Jury, the Distrct-Attorney's
office and the Police Board to say to this de-
tected and disgraced police captain?
