An Important Omission.

The Hon. GEORGE F. EDMCNDs OF YER
mont, in q conversation reported in the
Times. says that t." a tariff for revenue only
means. II honestly interpreted. that duties
ahall be levied in such q way as to ralso the
most money. without regard to the articles
on which the tariff shall be levied"
That Is true but Mr.. EDMUNDs falls to
add that tariff for revenue only does not
allow Of any free List. or the admission free
OF oil duty, Of articles OF necessity be-
cause they arc required by the poor. or
articles OF art because they are supposed
TO exercise refining influence upon the
people. or OF books because 1t Is thought
they contribute to education. or OF mate
rials OF manufacture because they serve to
promote American industry. All these are
paternalistic or protectionist ideas; and the
moment protection is condemned and re-
1ectcd tho free list however composed Is
rejected and prescribed along with 1t. To
this rule there is no logical exception.
The simplest. completest. and honestest
form of tariff for revenue only Is prob
eblyn horizontal inpost upon all articles
that are imported. whether ancient or mod
ern. artistic. literary or agricultural. man.
.nfactured goods or materials for manufact-
ure. OF an ad valorem duty OF say so per
cent. Even the private property OF travel
lers returning from abroad should not be
admitted FREQ. Such tariff would yield the
neodful revenue. and there would be in 1t
no protection and no unconstitutional favor
itism for any class or interest.

| lively rare In CASTOR county. and IL the
Dallas eccentric had one. the ladies might
glbe him but in its phantasmagoria OF rain
bows they would soon forget his feet.
1t illustrates the difference OF social ideals
that the Dallas Postmaster Is dispraised for
an idlosyncrasy the mere undeserved repu-
tation OF which made Mr.. JERRY SIMPSON
statesman. a member OF Congress. and q
sort OF handy cyclopedia OF economies.
The absence OF socks-though JERRY Is
seid to wear silk ones on grand occasions
is regarded as a merit and glory in
public man in Kansas. whereas in North
Carolina It is regarded rs a sufficient reason
for depriving the man OF his job.
1t is proper to say that rural Post Office
Is the club OF tho vcinage. n common meet
ing place and gossip-ground. the clearing
house of local report and rumor. Very
frequently it's a store. You buy your

from habit. 1t Is perfectly common
in village Post OGlco for people to ask

expect to get ono. The daily questioning
Is thought to give dignity to the Questioner,

your friends is only increased "Iwonder

that 'L1As WIoFALL gets all them letters

masters pay is small. but to com
templative mind the sense OF knowledge
accruing from reading all the postal cards
that come to town may be valued above
rubies. At any rate. the village Post Office
is a reading room. club: and. as persons
with tho aboriginal tendencies Of the Post
master OF Dallas would not bo admitted to
a club. SO he is clearly unfit to be Postmas-
ter. A Democrat with more head and less
feet should be selected.

Lizzie Borden and Mr.. KnowIton.

There is q great deal Of bitter denuncia-
tion OF District Attorney KNovLToN for the
part he boro in the pursuit and prosecution
OF LIZZIE BORDEN. 1t is proper to consider
how far tho very general criticism Of Mr..
KSowLToS Is unjust.
That the District Attorney managed the
case OF the Commonwealth with the fierce
ness Of intense. II narrow, partisanship, Is
quite truc. His professional ability is all
that prevented the Governments showing
in the court room from being ridiculous.
He threw himself heart aud soul. into
tho attempt to send this woman to tho
gallows. No one who has followed the trial
can doubt for moment the sincerity OF
Mr.. KNowLToN's conviction OF the prison.
crs guilt, although the insuhiciency
OF the evidence ON which his conclu-
sons were based is now apparent to
everybody. But it Is not the busi-
ness OF n prosecuting officer to be Judge
or jury. His duty is to present the case
against tho accused in the strongest pos
sible light consistent with truth or proba-
bility. That is what Mr.. HOSEA KNowLToN
did. and he did it we'll II he had done less.
he would have been false TO his duty and
unworthy OF the Office he holds.
That he did it gladly, no man is justified
IN assuming. His personal attitude and de-
meanor toward the poor harassed and
bounded girl during ten months. added
greatly to the tortures to which n terrible
accident OF circumstance and the maliG-
nant unscrupulousness Of certain policemen
had subjected her. But while Miss BORDEN
may have had the right to expect sympa-
thetic consideration from Mr.. KNwLToN as
q man. she had no right to expect it from
him US q prosecuting officer. strongly. IL
mistakenly persuaded Of her guilt. and
impelled throughout by stern sense OF
duty. The personal qualities in Mr..
KNowLToN which have contributed much
to Miss BoIDEN's load OF misery do not
render him less valuable as an instrument
of the law and an agent Of justice.
What VIC wish to say is that. in view OF
the result OF tho trial. the innocent woman
now vindcated owes to tho man who tried
SO hard to convict her far more OF graft
tude than OF hatred. Next to her own
faithful and brilliant counsel. Miss BORDEN
Is indebted moro to Mr.. KSowLroN than
to any other person for the fortunate cir
that the verdict OF Tuesday

row escape from death and mere restora-
tion to physical liberty under the same
conditions Of doubt and suspicion as ex-
listed before her trial.
The energy Of Mr.. KSowLToN as a prose-
cutor. and his really remarkable ingenuity
In handling every circumstance that told
against tho prisoner. have served to i'm
press the public mind with the belief that
the case against Miss BORDEN was pre-
sented for all that it was worth and she
can thank Mr.. KNoHLToN, as well as Mr..
ROBINSON, Mr.. ADAMS. and Mr.. JENNINGS.
that the verdict not merely sets her free. but

Our German contemporary. the Studfs-
Zeifunc, engages in violent attack upon ono
OF New Iork's most distinguished citizens:
"CnArScEI " DE?Ew is universally beloved on nc-
count o: his lovcwor;hy manners aud his genius for
saying agreeable things: but whenever ho tries to
speak OF things that lie below the surface, and when
he rises toward themes that require to be studied
and judged profoundly. his intellectual shallo~ness
becomes evident"
This is rs unjust as It seems malignant. To
call Mr.. DEPBw shallow and superficial is to vio-
late the truth. OF course those who are op-
posed to him in politics or in business will
sometimes reject his opinions: but it is always
safer to consider them with respect and to at
tack them with caution. Moreover. they are
sure to contain large admixturo OF an element
which is apt to be puzzling to n common place
mind. namely. humor. Before lashins out nt
DEPEw. it is always wise to pause and inquire
whether you really understand him.
