Men and Women as Murderers.


In tho trial of Miss Force at Atlanta for
killing her two sisters Judge RICHARD
CLARK. who presided over the court, in In
structing the Jury recalled the fact that
in France one man had killed seven per-
sons, one man in Pennsylvania killed
like number, and IN Georgia one boy
(WooLFoLK) killed nine.
The Judge said that all OF these crimes
were committed by miserable, brutal
men, while this of Miss FORCE. IF a
crime" was committed bya cool, cultured.
Christian woman, and hence was the
worst he had ever heard of. He consider
ed this case worse than LIZZIE BoEDEN's,
because if LIZZIE killed the two persons
whom she was charged with killing, one
was man and one was of no kin to her.
The weight of the testimony at Atlanta
was that Mss FoRcE was insane, and for
that reason she was acquitted, but the
public prosecutor fought for conviction to
the end. This gentleman, referring TO
Miss FoRcE's diary, which was produced IN
court, said that finer composition was
never written, and that 1t will compare
with the works of DICKENS. BYRON In his
happiest moods and highest flights did
not excel her language in some portions
of this story of her troubles"

each, we may doGbt if the accused would
have gotten of so easily had she been a
man. Atrocious crimes on the part OF
women are considered SO improbable that
when they are charged the public Is ready
enough 20 believe either that mistake has
been made or that the accused is insane
Women therefore get more benefit OF
doubts that arse than men. And they
are entitled to them, because they are
less given to murder than men. True.
women whose sanity was beyond question
have been guilty (and have been con-
yicted) of the cruelest Of murders. but
these have been exceptions TO rule which
ia general and well recognized. AT any
rate. the verdicts in the BORDEN and Force
cases were right. There is no dlsputing
this. He'd each accused been O man ill.,

,n Court With Coat OFF.

Mr.. CURTIS, the editor of the Aecklenb,rg
Ne,rs, who happens also to be Deputy
Clerk of the County Court. in the last
issue of his paper thanks the Judge for his
kindness in permitting him (CURTIs) to
take of his coat on very warm days while
in the performance of his duties. 1t is a
privilege, we believe. that the Judge allows
no one else in court.
In county very near Mecklenburg we
once saw during an important trial jury,
counsel. prisoner. witnesses, reporters.
and spectators ell in their shirt-slseves.
The courtroom was small, the windows
few in number, the crowd dense, the
weather hot. and few linen coats were TO
be bought IN the village. Under these try
ing circumstances his Honor--a good man
and good Judge. too-consented to rule
that man in his shirt-sleeyes should be
considered, pro hdc uioe, to be in court
dress. He did right. The Mecklenburg
Judge has no doubt also done right in
favoring Brother CuRrIs--especially as he
is very laborious worker. and has but one
arm; but on general principles we go in
for strict adherence to all those forms,
ceremonials. and requirements which give
dignity to our courts, The administra-
ton of the law ought always TO be i'm
pressive, to the end that Its majesty may
appear and the wicked learn to fear il.

The Ex-President.

II has suddenly occurred to the Hon.
BENJAMIN HARRISON that what the country
needs is his views. Hence he planted him.
self in New York for some days and made
himself accessible to all OF the newspaper
men who called. Every paper in the land
has therefore printed an interview with
him.
This shows o. that HARRISON Qiks so
many other ::men) knows how to make
use Of the press to remind the world that
he is still living: (2) that he thinks he
could have managed our finances better
than CLEVELAND has done: (S) that he is
in the field as . candidate for another pre-
sidentIal term.
He has no idea of establishing hem
merry. On the contrary, he means to keep
himself before the public. His sccessi-
bility 10 reporters shows more considera-
ton for himself than for them. In other
words, the ex-Presidsnt is An ofice-seeker

yaA DISPATCH points out that the Tennessee
banking law would authorize the issue OF

that ratio the Virginia banks would issue as

at large would amount to s900,00000o. 1t

culation can be kept at par, and pre-
di,ts that inside Of fvs years there
would be a panic and a tremendous demand
for its relief by the issue OF s2,O0O'OOO,OOO
more OF the Same sort Of money. We do not
share all these fears of the ssuss OF State banks,
but We notice with interest the remark OF the

with Confederate notes during the war between
