Huntington is willing to let the settlers
in the southern part of the State affected
by Judge Ross decision have their
lands without paying for Improvements.
This is some cOnce ssion TO equity, but
the settlers have still grievance in the
fact that their bargain with Uncle Sam
was concluded even as to the bare value of
the land. Full justice requires that they
should not be molested in any way. The

c. A. Wetmore's reasons against the i'm
position of tax on wine ought TO be con-
elusive. 1t is absurd policy to collect a
small amount by special tax and expend
about half the amount in expenses.
There Is no gain 10 the revenue from such
a course, and there is much evaporation
to trade. If heavy tax were imposed the
trade would mostly disappear except in
the case of famous vineyards. and even
these might suffer. The gain would be tO
foreign wines. Congress could with per-
feet DrODriety put a heavy tax on foreign
wines and leave home products free.

imports amount 10 $500, 1000 year. If

Except on the theory of some phase of
insanity psychologists must be baff1ed to ex-
plain the peculiar homicidal idiosyncrasies
of John F. Stone, who on his own confes-
sion is cbargeabe with the murder of
whole family. Jack the Ripper achieved
nothing like this in the horror of blood
spilliDg. and not even Deeming, the Aus
tralian butcher, has quite his eminence. A
murderer never quite explains all his
deeds or motives. but Stone makes no at
tie mpt 10 assign reasons for his wild acts.
After finishing his victims, tapping two of
them on the head who showed faint signs
of lingering life, he declares that he made
no search for money, and did not care for
it. The craft with which he assumed TO
be sympathetic and grief-stricken is ac-
cordant with the subtlety displayed by
lunatics. He actually assisted the under
taker in dressing the bodies, and was
pail bearer at the funeral. To cap this
iroD-nerye destltCtion of feeling he now
processes to have wrought much good for
his spiritual welfare by the slaughter. He
speaks and writes in state of ecstacy
about his future, and conveys by implica-
ton the notion that his butchery was for his
own happiness. 1t is TO be hoped that this
Stone will hereafter be kept within walls.
