view End at Grants Tomb.
WASHINGTON, April 13.--Secretary
Herbert, 1t is stated, has been giving
considerable attention to the suggestion
that the naval review should terminate
in the firing of an international salute
before the tcgnb of General Grant at
Riverside Park, SO that the naval re-
view should close in the same manner
as the Columbian parade of last Oc-
tober. The secretary, while ~appreciat-
ing the force of the suggestion that
would accompany its execution, doubts
its practicability. He accepts the views
of experienced naval officers that it
would be a dangerous undertaking for
so many vessels to attempt putting the
plan into execution with so little water
around them. He has, however, con.
sented to have the flagship Philadelphia
fire a salute.

THE recommendation Of John Ruskin
for the poet-laureateship very much re-
sombles the dark horse surprise in
American politics. Mr.. Ruslin is "a
years old, is supposed to DO weak both
in body and mind, and finally is not a
poet. We fancy that no would be bettor
fitted for the knocking out Of his follow
citizen, Sir Charles Mitchell, than tho
rhyming of verses on the arrival OF a
new girl in the Battenberg family. Mr..
Ruskin, however, is rightly entitled to
high rank among the few greau literary
men of our time. He has long been
classed as the best English critic Of art,
and his writings are remarkable for pur-
ity Of style and wealth OF imagination.
There can be no question Of his ability
to run with men in his own class, and
carry weight, but MI. Gladstone's choice
of him for the poet-laureateship would
seem to reflect the 6. O. ms fine sense
of satire on the need Of that so-called
sacred institution of kings.

Politicians say the order will have the Of
feot Of making a close corporation of the
patronage system, and tho president would
be declared from hearing the voice of the
people on the fitness of o%andidates.
In opposition TO those opinions il 10 urged
that the president has borne with patience
the personal solicitation OF people for two
months; that a. a matter of fact the per-
sonal presence Of applicants Is seldom neo-
essary. II is argued that a denial Of rer-
sonal interviews does not ont off the right
of citizens to make endorsements or put
forward candidates. 1t Is stated ON the
best authority that The order of the presi-
dent was decided upon At the cabinet meet
ing last Friday. The president said he
now had moro important business which
demanded hts attention than he had during
the entire four years Of his previous admin
time to devote himself ON account of the
crowds Of men continually demanding his
time to importuns him for positions. The
time for human endurance had some to IN
end and something had to be done.

THE END OF THE HARRIS CASE.

By the pressure of a button, life was
taken from Carlyle Harris at noon yes
terday and the end reached in the most
remarkable poisoning case Of this decade.
1t tells both the history Of a young man
whose deprayity Of character was made
more striking by conditions which
should have made him better, and the
story of a crime SO deliberately planned
as to leave no possible doubt of the au-
thor's intent. The last act, however
painful it may appear to the popular
mind, was exacted by that Justice
needed to protect humanity from others
of this fellows kind. Let us hope that
the terrible lesson in all its meaning
will not be lost on the young man
tempted to give way to passions which
led this murderer to his death.
Three years ago Harris was a bright
young medical student OF good social
position. He was we'll reared, we'll edu-
Gated and surrounded by such oondi-
tons as are enjoyed by but few young
men. Or the other hand, he was gifted
with a ~debauching, sensual nature. He
recognized neither the rights Of home
nor humanity and even denied the K
istence Of the laws of God. To satisfy
his lustful appetite, he employed the
gifts which should have made him a
good member of society. In this path
of defiance to all that is good, he went
uninterrupted save by tears IN broken
homes. He secretly married Helen
Potts, a young and beautiful school girl.
After a time, like all men Of his nature,
he grew tired Of her and then came the
terrible temptation Of crime. She was
i'll at her home while he was at the med
ical college. To relieve her he sent
small capsules filed with q%uinine and
then one day asked himself, why not
exchange morphine for the other drug.
No one would suspect the difference
and death would be quiet and painless
and with no outward evidence of muir
der. The plot worked successfully. The
girl-wife died from no apparent causes
and Harris was happy in his relief.
But crime has no resting place. After
the girls death the secret marriage was
revealed, and then followed the investi-
cation. Bit by bit the story was IN
folded and the links forged to fasten the
crime to the murderer. He could not
get away from it, with all the resources
of friends, money, influence and a con-
siderable public sentiment in his favor.
The process of trial, conviction and SON.
tence was followed by appeals to the
highest courts of New York state and to
the governor. No means known to the
knowledge and ingenuity Of the best
lawyers could turn the overwhelming
evidence against him or the sense of JUS
tice in the minds of jury and judges.
It is very pitiful to think Of the wear
ing sorrow of his mother during all this
time and the climax Of grief when the
end was reached. The heaviest burden
of his fate was thrown on others. The
moral Of it is that the young man must
learn from this tragedy how certain and
terrible are the penalties for disobeying
the laws Of society.
