AN EXHIBITION OF JUSTICE.

Last week Washington had an exhibition
of justice which must have very beneficial
effect ON the community. Over year ago
an ill-bred, iiI-educated, worthless young
fellow, named Howard Schneider, crowned
a career Of smaller cruelties and meannesses
by shooting down, in the most cowardly and
brutal manner, his young wife and her
brother The murderer's brother happened
10 have considerable means, and he spent
these lavishly to save his brother from the
gallows. Every possible device to cheat
Justice was employed. The ablest counsel
to be found were retained, and they resorted
to every legal expedient to save their client.
A long and costly trial was had, in which
there is no doubt that several witnesses
peIiured themselves. After the trial there
was the usual story of appeals to higher
courts, and the case was taken even to the
Supreme Court of the United States, which
with marked curtness refused to interfere.
The condemned man, who had considerable
intelligence, made a carefully-studied sham
of insanity, which was effectively riddled
by commission of experts. The President
was appealed to, BUT he very properly de-
elined to make any mitigation of the SEN
tence.
The day Of execution was several times
postponed, but at last young Schneider was
taken from his cell and duly hanged by the
neck until he was dead.
Many people lament the distractions to
justice in the case Of such red-handed MUIR
derers and think that punishment should
follow more quickly upon the crime. We
incline to the other belief In this case the
condemned man has been made very a
much more impressive exhibition of justice
than if he had been hanged within 30 days
of the commission Of his heinous crime
hatefulness, was before the public mind, and
| the expression of public opinion against its
enormity was constant He was made a
horrible example TO other young men Of like
| disposition as to how such conduct was
viewed. Then, they saw every effort that
| wealth and influence could exert put forth
| to save him from his fate, and saw these fail
| to even gain a Communication of the sentence
| At last, after everything having been done
for him that could possibly be done, after
every trick, device, and subterfuge had been
employed, after the hot blood of indignation
over his crime had given way to cool reason
| he was taken to the scaaiold and executed
with official, unreVengefal, but implacable
GOODNESS.
The hot thirst for his blood had died
away, but there was the still more dreadful
calm determination that the law must b.
INDICATED and criminals punished.
1t would seem that this is much nor.
effective use to make Of condemned mar
than 10 hang him promptly. There's n.
objection TO the laws delays if there lie
fair degree of certainty that justice will b.
meted out at last.

never was any reason for it, nor for appre-
hending any deficit in the Treasury. The
Government is receiving, and will continue
to receive until the present revenue laws
are changed, more money than it spends.

no change in The rate Of taxation on beer On
these conditions il is safe to assume that in very
short period of time the revenue from liquors and
tobacco will cover all normal expenditures
with interest on the debt added thereto, leaving
the remainder of the customs revenue and the

more available for pensions only.

The customs misunderstanding the re-

the calendar year of 1893; next year it will
be $3.50, 100000. Mr.. Atkinson's idea of reve-
nue. reform is to let the other taxes remain
much as they are; apply the customs reve-
nues to payment of pensions, and readjnst
the tariff so as to remit so much of the reve-
nue. as may not be needed to pay pensions.
In concluding Mr.. Atkinson makes this
mention of the management of the Pension
Bureau:
When wrote the general analy of tbs receipts
and expenditures published Jan. 80. was obliged
say that for lack of previous published accounts
of the Pension Department it was impossible then
10 deal with the pension disbursements and obli-
felt in the statements of other Departments. The
data that have been eoHrteously and fully supplied
by the Commissioner in reply to my definite ques
ton have removed that uncertainty. What.
ever exceptions may be taken to the pension sys-
tenn am now we'll satisfied that the system Of
accounting in this Department is rs accurate and
Trustworthy az that which marks the whole adj
rufnist ratiou of the finances

THINK oft The pension rolls show less
than 10000 men who had but three months
of service Yet the pensiou-haters would
make the country believe that the pension
roll is crowded with this class of men. A
large portion of these 10000 men were
wounded or disabled in their first battle,
before they had fairly gotten used to
their new uniforms 1t must be kept In
mind that the Government did not usually
let men wait long after enlisting before CIV
ing them sharp taste of fighting. and this
was particularly true of the later years Oh
the war, when q man was likely to make
the acquaintance Of the rebels before his
first month was up.

based on fraud aud perjury" and we get glimpse
Of the size Of the steal
In the first place, COL Dudley was not
Pension Commissioner for eight years, but
less than four years. In the next, he never
said anything of the kind, but just the re-
verse. He caused the most searching inves-
tigation of the rolls to be made, and then
officially declared that not to exceed one
tenth of one per cent. of the cases were
fraudulent; that is, not moro than one in
1,000-a smaller proportion of fraud than
can be found in any other branch Of public
expenditure.

The Hole Through tho Earth.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: think there
is more meat in that =" old chestnut" than some
sbuck it for. True, as you say, the attraction
on the can non-ba would be greatese at the
exact center Of the earth, for then the ball
would be the nearest possible to the whole mass
Of matter of the earth; but being attracted
equally in all directions. the ball would weigh
nothing, neither would you nor !; and you
could fling Jumbo over Cheops by the hind log
as easily as you q cat over the garden fence
on the surface of the earth. The falling force
exerted upon the ball would be greatest at the
moment of starting at the surface. since then
the whole mass Of the earth would be on one
side of it; and it would rapidly decrease in the
same ratio that the mass of the earth. beyond
plane cutting through the earth perpendicu-
larly to the hole through it, decreased as com.
pared with the mass left behind at any point
in the fall modified slightly by the different
distances of the matter. This force ceases at
the center and thereafter becomes a retarding
force. Having the resistance of the air to
overcome think the ball would have attained
its highest velocity long, long before it reaches
the center. and at that point the motion would
have become so little AS not to carry it greatly
beyond. But if it could fall in vacuo the in.
crease in velocity would continue, though not
in the same ratio. until the ball passed the CEN
ter with frightful velocity that would carry it
to the surface OH the other side, from which 1t
would return to the starting point then
through again and back, thus Oscilating as
perpetual motion forever.-A. w. SLAYToN,

The art of framing pictures is so often disre.

quently are they seen.
There is chance, too, for improvements in
mats. The creamy white and soft-gray ones
are, as rule, much more satisfactory than the
dead white ones. Silk is being used for mats
with very artistic effects. A water-color show
ing crystal vase of La France roses had a wide
mat of pale whitish-pink silk, then narrow
frame of white, carved at the corners into roses,
and frightened with little fine gilt. 1t made
the most perfect framing for the pink roses. An
etching, entitled Autumn, had the frame COW
cred with russell grass cloth studded at the cor
ners with feurde-lis, all well carrying out the
soft brown effect. Oval frames with bow-knots
are very pretty to frame the dainty French
figures. Etchings should never have the dead
white mats; cream-white brings out their soft
ness much better. The newest idea is to use in
the mats around water colors, or reprints, some
special color found in the picture, thus accentu.
ating it. little sea-picture, framed in plain,

chiffon used is plain. The sash is tied in two
short loops in the back. 1t is of silk edged

It Ia a frequent complaint that the down In
cushions Sits through the covers and makes
them disagreeable to have around. One way
to avoid this is to wax the cover before the
down is put III. This caa be done by tying a
little piece of beeswax in piece of cheesecloth.
Wax the hot lat-iron with this until the iron
is well. waxed. Then iron the wrong side Of
the silk cover. This acts something like var
nish over the loosely woven material, but it
also stiffens it little which is not SO pleasant
The down can be put in an inner case that has
been waxed, but even this way the cushion is
sitter than it ought be; but it is case of two
evils one being little the lesser one. 1t Is
said the best cider. down will not sift through,
but it is also very expensive. Plain silk is not
good for these covers, it soils too soon. Cheap
black satin embroidered over with tiny sprays
of golden.rod makes q pretty cushion and
serviceable one.

A Shirt Story.


Tho true soldier obeys orders faithfully, no
matter at what sacrifice. A company of British
regiment was once sent Oh some duty in time
of peace to a remote village in Ireland and left
there several weeks, quite separated from its
usual base of supplies.
During this period some general orders sp-
plicable more especially to men in barracks,
were sent to the commander Of company. One
clause of these orders was as follows:
"An men in the command shall change their
shirts at least twice a week."
The Captain gave orders to the Orderly-Ser-
geant to see this command put into execution.
"But, Captain" said the Sergeant, there's
only shirt apiece to every man in the COM
pany. How can they"-
"SilenceI" exclaimed tho Captain; orders
are orders, Sergeant. Let the men change
shirts with one another"
So the Sergeant saw to 1t that as long as the
company remained in the place on every Sum
day and Wednesday morning the soldiers
snapped shirts one with another.
