WHAT DOES 1T MEAN.

The continued discussion aroused by the
w. Harris on the charge Of numbering his
young wife by means Of poison has served
TO disclose the fact that murders by poison
are becoming alarmingly frequent. Half
century ago this cold .blooded and deliber.
ate method of murder was practically un-
known in-American criminal annals. OF
late years at least dozen notable poisoning
cases have been tried in the Courts of the
United States. What does 1t mean?
The cool elaboration shown by the muir
derers in poisoning cases makes them the
most appalling in the annals of human
wickedness. Another shocking feature is
the fact that 1t is crime almost wholly con-
fined to the refined and educated classes Of
society. A considerable amount of intell.
gence, as well as scientific training, is
necessary TO enable would.be assassin TO
kill his or her fellow. beings adroitly by
means of poison. -Four OF the most cele.
brated PRISONERS OF modern days-Palmer,
L lLh Il OuuuCthio ouu 1LhuioUu-
were skilled physicians, and owed TO their
medical training the knowledge which they
put to such deadly use.
With II all-justice is as reluctant to exc.
cute her sentences in these days as in times
past she was over Eager. 1t is almost in
credible now how lightly human life was
formerly valued, indeed, little more than a
century ago when every day or two some
one was turned off" at Lyburn, often a
group, and for offenses that nova days dc
not approach the dignity of crimes.
Carlyle Harris barely escaped executive
clemency. There was an unwillingness to
execute him. He had a trial and even re
trial. and large number of sentimental
people interlered in his behalf with letters
aud petitions, and that his sentence would
be commuted appeared at one time almost a
certainty.
This case, like 30 many others, had dis
tressng features. 1t is not the criminal him
self for whom there lie pity so much as for
his relatives-the poor weeping mother, the
brothers and sisters, upon whom there will
always rest a stain.
Harris himself was young man Of re.
markable callous feeling. The poisoner, as
we have said, is the most cold booded Of
criminals. Murder 10 the heat Of passion
may claim some palliating circumstances
but the man who deliberately gives poison
TO his victim-who stands by the bedside
and with stealthy and periidious hand ad
ministers the dose in which death is con
concealed, is wretch for whom there can
be nothing but loathing. The low, misera
BILE wretch who applies the torch or match
when the home is wrapt in slumber is a
black and cold-hearled villain-but is not
as much so as the criminal who can admin
lister the dose and witness the agony OF his
victim.
In such cases we think that Justice cannot
he too swift nor too severe.

THE CHINESE EXCL SION ACT

The decision of he Supreme Court of the
United States, delivered on Monday last, up
holding the constitutonality of the Geary
Chinese exclusion act of 1899, rests upon
the ground that ii is the inherent right OF an
independent sovereign power TO exclude
from its territory whomsoever il chooses to
exclude. AS to the wisdom and justice of the
act the court expresses, of course, no opinion
1t is not within the province Of tn judicial
branch Of the government TO discuss the ex
pediency, but only the constitutionality of
law. But Justice Gray, 10 announcing the
judgment, holds that the power of the nation
to restrict or prohibit the immigration of
aliens, or exclude them when here, in time
of peace as well as in war, is indisputabe
II is sustained by International law and an
unbroken line of decisions of the Supreme
regulations under which aliens might live
here, aud can remove them If they fail TO
observe the regulations. The proceedings
prescribed by the Geary act were. therefore,
such MS the government might properly
prescribe. Hence the judgment of the Cir
cult Court refusing wriis of habeas corpus to
Chinese petitioners is affirmed. There were,
however, three dissenting voices In the court,
Chief Justice Fuller and Justices Field and
Brewer opposing the view OF the maj ,rity,
Justice Field characterizes the act as "brutal''
aud "inhuman," and expresses the view that
the decision is "fraught with grave danger to
the constitutional liberties of the people
The practical aspect Of the matter is that
as soon as Congress provides the necessary
funds the Treasury Department will have
To undertake TO deport very large number
of Chinese. AT present 140 have been de.
ported alter an expenditure Of $S3,806 in
carrying out the law The unexpenied
$l6.S06, and on July | AN additional $4,000
will be available. The initial expenses were,
OF course, heavier, per Chinaman departed,
than they will be hereafter, but still ii is
clear that funds are lacking To carry the
law into effect. Under the law the Chinese
daring 10 remain here without certificates
after May 4th are to DO imprisoned for a
year at hard labor. These are, il must be
confessed, hard terms for inoffensive sub
iecls of u friendly power. We do not want
the Chinese here in great numbers, just as
We do not want certain other classes of
aliens heavily represented here. But gen
tier method Of dealing with the Celestials is
demanded in the interests Of civilization
and humanity
