Or. Smith Talks OF the Hopoiessness
Of His Case.

New York June 5-Dr St Clair
Smith, Edwin Booths physician, issued
the following bulletin at $50 O'Clock this
morning:

night ST CLAM SMITH. NJ ID.
Pressed for more definite information
regarding the great actors condition DR.
Smith said well, ] cannot add any

last evening saying that my patient was

Mr.. Booth rallied from the relapse of a
week ago Saturday until last Saturday,
when he grew worse again suddenly. He
was attacked with an exhausting fit of
vomiting, during which ] thought he
would suffocate." DR. Smith was hastily
summoned, but despite his best efforts
Mr.. Booth grew weaker and weaker.
Fault has been found, 10 is said, with DR.
Smith before for giving news of his

and made arrangements for spending the

Supt. McGunigle, Mr.. Booths brother
in-law, sat up at the dying actors bed
side with trained nurse and physician.
MIR. Booth seemed to suffer greatly from
want of air. He breathed in gasps and
three windows in his room were opened
at the top and bottom and the curtains
drawn aside to admit as much oxygen as
possible. About 2 a. m he fell into a
troubled slumber. DR.. Smith then re-
tired until a. m, when he went directly
to Mr. Booths room and remained with
him for more than an hour. Then he
posted the bulletin and left the club

bulletin; While there has been no very
marked change in Mr. Booths condition,

criminals through the regularly consti-

1t is gratifying that the governor is
taking such a pronounced stand against
mob law, and that he is so strongly sup
ported by Judge FalHgant However
great our indignation may be against
criminals who commit heinous ofTenses-
oifenses that deserve death-we cannot
help admitting that the greatest good of
society requires that they should be
punished in accordance with law, and by
the lawful tribunals
We do not believe that the people Of the
South are quicker to resort to lynch law
than those of the north, though the
northern papers strive to make it appear
they are. There are more lynchings in
the south than in the north, because the
particular crime for which lynch law is
generally invoked is more common in the
south than in the north, owing to the
large percentage of ignorant and brutal
blacks in the south who are inclined to
commit that crime, but when the crime is
committed in the north the criminal, as
a rule, is swiftly punished by a mob. At
Decatur, H., the other day a mob broke
into Jail and lynched a black brute who
had been arrested for the crime.
But we are not to be guided by exam
pies furnished by the north Here in
Georgia we have upright judges and dill
gent officers. Let US punish criminals as
the law directs. The effect on society
will be far better. Judicial executions
will do more to limit crime than mob
executions

The withdrawal of the Rev DR. Ecob,
of Albany, N Y, from the Presbyterian
ministry because of the action of the gen
eral assembly in the Briggs case is not to
be wondered at. 1t is rather to his credit
that he withdrew, finding himself no
longer in harmony with the ruling body
of the church But the retiring clergy
man rather overstepped the bounds of pro
priety in his denunciation of the general
assembly's action. The questions at issue
in the Briggs case, by the way, are not at
all settled in so far as the church is CON
Henry Preserved Smith of Lane Semi
nary, Cincinnati, are virtually the same as
were those against DR. Briggs, and the
trial of DR.. Smith win come up before the
synod of the state of Ohio in October
Whatever may be the outcome of that trial
by the synod the case will be appealed to
the general assembly, so that the assem-
bly, of 1894 will have to thresh over the
old straw of the assembly of 1898 DR.
Smith says his friends and the friends OF
DR.. Briggs, whom rumor said would form
a new church, will not retire in body
from the Presbyterian church He does
not know what course DR.. Briggs will
pursue, but, as for himself, he viii remain
where he is, in the hope that the general
assembly of 1894 will be more liberal
body than was the recent assembly at
Washington.

MARINEs WITHpRAWN.
American Interests Assured of Pro-
lection by Nicaragua.

American Interests Assured of Pro-
lection by Nicaragua,
Washington, June 5.-Secrotary Her
bert late this afternoon received a short
cablegram from Capt. Higginson of the
United States steamship Atlanta at Grey
town, Nicaragua, to the effect that the
marines had been withdrawn from shore,
as sufficient protection had been guar
antced The inference drawn from this
information is that the Nicaraguan au-
thorities have given assurances of safety
to Americans and their interests, and
that the captain of the Atlanta is salts
fed that they are able to do so. How
long the Atlanta and Alliance will re-
main on the Nicaraguan coast cannot be
stated definitely, but they will be kept
there until every semblance of revolution
is over and the state and navy depart
ments are satisfied that American inter
ests there axe safe.

With "alliteration's artful add Secre-
tary Morton scores the populists and their
vicious vagaries." ''Vicioys vagaries'' is
good. Any system of political teaching
that holds that two-thirds are equal to
the whole must be the fruit of a wander
ing mind, and when that queer system of
mathematics is sought to be applied to
our money, the motive must be lacking in
purity. Incidentally, it may be mentioned
that Secretary Morton does not make
trees his whole study. He is fond of trees ;
but when it comes to planks in a sound
democratic platform, he is as thoroughly
at home as he is among his trees.

DIR. M'eLYNN IN RETREAT.
He is Doing Penance for Boast That
He Would Not Go to Rome

Ho Would Not GO TO Rone.
New York, June s. Notwithstanding
the many assertions that Rev. DIR. Nc
Glynn has sailed for Rome in the apo
cryphal steamer, it is known by his closet
friends that he is in retreat in the Trap
pisI monastery, near Lexington, Ky, and
that he will stay there some time,
probably all sumner, doing penance. DR.
McGlynn, in many of his Cooper Union
lectures, declared that he would never go
to Rome in sackcloth and ashes, and it is
said that the retreat is in the nature of a
compromise suggested by Mgr
Satoll and agreed to by DR. McGlynn
after consulting with his friends After
the retreat he will have been purged and
then he may go to Rome, not as penn
tent seeking forgiveness, but as priest

The enforcement of ''blue laws" fifty to
a hundred years old may do well enough
for sleepy old towns that continue to exist
in past age. But the idea of confining a
progressive city like Savannah within
"blue laws" regulations is not in keeping
with the progressive spirit of the age.
Dissertations of the Lords day are, of
course, to be guarded against. But it is
fallacy to believe that policemen can with
their clubs make people religious.

Eleven young Savannahians went out
to "do" 100 miles each on their bicycles
the other day. The object was to win
eligibility to club membership. The en-
ergy that each rider expended in the
effort to push the wheel the distance in
the given time was much more than the
amount necessary to the cutting of cord
OF wood. Yet not one of those young
men would have cut a cord of wood on
Sunday if the act would have opened the
door of any club in town.

Invited Into the Episoopa,


A New York dispatch says that it is re-
ported in that city that DR. Briggs has
been invited to connect himself with the
Episcopal church. Iii also said that the
Congregational Association of New York
would gladly receive him. There is no
danger, therefore, that he would be with
out pulpit if he should want to engage
actively in the work of the ministry.
The Episcopal church is much more
liberal than it used to be, and it is not an
extraordinary occurrence for a minister
of some one of the other Protestant
churches to go to that church, or the Con-
gregational Association, when he finds
that he is not in accord with the church
of which he is member. II is not be-
lieved, however, that DIR. Briggs thinks
it will be necessary to leave the Pres
byterian church. According to his
present programme he will 90 to
England for the summer and
continue his studies at Oxford. He has
been studying at Oxford during his vaca-
ton for the last ten years The Union
Theological Seminary, in which he holds
a professorship, shows no disposition to
deprive him of his position 1t might ask
for his resignation, however, if the num-
Der of the students should fall off to such
an extent as to seriously impair the insti-
tution's revenues.
1t is reasonable to suppose that there
will be good many deserters from the
Presbyterian church on account of the
decision of the general assembly in the
Briggs case. Indeed, it is not an easy
matter TO sec how those ministers who
have all along sustained DR.. Briggs can
consistently remain in the Presbyterian
church. They hope, doubtless, by their
teachings to make thechurch more liberal
and thus retain their places in it The
declaration of the general assembly
against DIR. Briggs was so sweeping and
emphatic, however, that it docs not look
as if the church would change its belief
in any important particular in the near
future. If DR.. Briggs should take that
view of the matter he might think
seriously of the invitation extended to
him by the Episcopal church He is a
man of fine ability and is likely to be-
come FESTIVE under his sentence of sus-
pension. just at present, however, he
will retain his connection with the Pres
byterian church, depending upon time to
justify him in the course he is pursuing

Why They Failed .

1t is now quite clear that none of the
banks that have failed within the last
few months were strong institutions.
The causes of their failure have been in
quired into and Il. about every instance
have been found to be gross mismanage-
ment or practices that are not counte-
nanced by sound banking. In some in
stances the funds of the banks were
stolen byofficials, and in others the di-
rectors were permitted to become bor-
rowers upon insufficient security far be-
yond the limit permitted by law. In
other words the banks in some cases
were robbed and in others were so weak
ened by the practices of those to whom
their management had been intrusted
that at the first rumors of financial
troubles they were compelled to close
their doors. If any sound and carefully
and wisely managed banks have failed
we have not heard OF them.
The controller of the currency will
call the attention of congress to the
causes of the national bank failures and
recommend the passage of stringent laws
against the use of bank funds by bank
officers and directors for speculative pur-
poses. And congress will have the APP
proval of the public if it acts upon the
recommendations favorably Those who
accept the management of banks ought to
be punished severely for taking advan-
tage of their positions to advance their
personal schemes. And they ought to be
held to strict performance of their
duties. No man should accept the posi-
ton of bank director who does not intend
to conscientiously discharge the duties of
the position. He ought to be punished
for neglecting his duties as well as for
practices that the rules of sound banking
do not permit
