He Took No Vacations, bat Might Have
Been Better with Them.


He Took No Vacations, but Might Have
Been Better with Them.
Harper's Weekly.
1t has come of reccnt years to seem AL
most sinful for man who can get vaca-
ton 10 work on without It. Hardly any
great moral truth has been so persistently
aimed at American brain workers as the
assurance that they worked too hard
and too continuously. and needed
more vacations and longer ones. They
rot nope TO live their llfetimes out, and to
continue TO do good work. unless they
refreshed their energies from time to time
by vacations. Yet here is Mr.. Stone, who
says he IS ssventy-fve years old. and who
has nothing the matter with him. and has
worked particularly hard the last four
years and Yet has taken no vacation
within the memory of middle aged men.
What Is the matter with tho vacation
theoryl Has MIR. Stone proved that it is
wrongT
Probably not. More likely editor Stone
is the exception that proves the rule. lie
has done very well without vacations.
though, of course, there 10 no telling what
new light might have shown out of the
Journal of Commerce BREWER If Mr.. Stone
had sometimes stopped writing long
enough for a new inspiration TO reach him.
One objection TO continuous brain work.
especially literary work. is that the writer
Is in danger of getting into a rut
and of working over his original
STOCK or IMPRESSIONS without getting any
new ones. until his individuality becomes
exaggerated. his work becomes deficient in
variety and breadth. 1t is the same sort of
objection that IS made To the marriage Of
cousins. and it may he met by the same
sort of reply. For as 1t is averred that il the
stock Is only sound enough cousins may
marry with impunity. so IN the matter of
writing It may be said that il only the
author is sound enough he may GO on spin
ning literature out of his own head indef-
rntf AIU Gfn IN
and no harm come OF It. Editor Stone
must be one of those exceptional
writer's; for be finds himself
able To say that since he has been
newspaper writer he has not written "a
line that could bring a blush to any honest
cheek" orswhieh he would wish TO recall
as untruthful or insincere. Ii Is suspected
that o chief use that ordinary newspaper
writers have for vacations Is to give them
due opportunity TO repent of all the faulty
Things they have written In their terms of
labor. SO. of course. a man who has writ
ten nothing he is sorry Tor has much less
need OF rest than his fellow who has de-
voted a considerable proportion of his busy
moments to works meet for repentance in
his hours of ease.

MURDERERs UNFINISHED.
Silly Stand of Many Who Arc Opposed {
Circumstantiai Evidence

silly Stand of Many Who Arc Opposed to
Circumstantiai Evidence.
MT James w. Clarke in Atlantic Monthly
Whatever may have been the case IN
former times. there is no reason TO fear in
this age of the world, in English speaker q
countries. at least. that justice will
often miscarry in capital cases ex.
cept to the detriment of the state. Sir
Matthew Hale's dlctum, 1T Is better ii o
guilty persons should escape unpunished
than one innocent person should die" is
nowadays more than literally fulfilled. 1t
Is maxim OF increasing popularity, not
only with all accused persons but with
that considerable class of people who
lind In criminals an irresistible i'm pulse
to sympathetic excitement. Blackstone
improved on Hale, making II better to have
ten assassins escape than to have ono innO-
cent man suffer by an error in the jury
room. Starkie improved on Blackstone.
and made it better that ninety nine
offenders should escape than ono in
nOcent man should be condemned" !"
IL is probable opinion that
even Mr.. Stsrkie IS behind the times in
which we live. There is now q constant
public opinion. and which practically as
scrts that lJ is better all crimes shonid go
nnpunished than that any person should
by any possibility suffer unjustIy.
glance at our American statIstics of
homicide for the year 1892 may appropri.
ately conclude this article and point
its moral. No fewer than 6.796 persons
were murdered In the United States last
year. as against 5.9O6 persons in
1891. 1920, in 1890, and 1867 in
1889. Innocent persons are evidently
not escaping. however, the guilty ones are
faring. The American victims OF homicide
have almost doubled In three yesrs. In
the same year 1892 that 6. 796 persons we're
murdered. only 107 were executed by pro-
cess of law-one execution to every 63.5
murders.
The outcry against convictions on ''pure-
ly presnmDtive proof Is at once senseless
and insincere. If it should ever prevail.
an era of free murder would be the in.
evitable result. 1t is really pro-
test against capital punishment. thinly
disguised as an objection to the only
kind of proof possible in the majority OF
criminal trials. Wholesome pu bile opinion
needs to be rallied in the other direction.
1t ought never to be forgotten that murder
is capital punishment: every person who
kills another shows himself n believer In
capital punishInent-fOr his victim; and
the moment these friends of capita! punish.
mept can be converted to more humane
views. capital punishment by the
state will be abolished; the votariss
of the death penalty have only to
abolish it Themselves and the state canno,
continue it. But the aim of the emotional
agitaJOrs OF the day ie to abolish the dea Tn
penalty first as a public protection, and
leave ito abolition as a private pastime to
await the discretion of nearly seven thou.

DENVER. COL. July S.-CoL James Platt
was to-day shown a copy of q dispatch in
which Senator Sherman denies the charges
that the bill demonetizing silver in 1873
was smuggled through Congress without
debate OF the knowledge of either house.
MIR. Platt said:
There is no Issue of veracity between
Mr.. Sherman and myself. 1t is entirely be-
tween Mr.. Sherman and the Congressional
Record. He will not deny that the eloven
words which took away from silver It's
minting privilege were added TO the bill
by the conference committee. or claim
that the repeal of free coinage.
which these words caused. had ever
e,rhor House of the Forty: second
Congress. or referred TO his committee.
Neither will he claim that IN presenting
the report TO the Senate, after those words
had been added by the conference commit
tee. be any one else called attention To
tho addition. or that Mr.. Hooper. of Mas
sechusetts. In presenting the report to the
House. alluded in any way To this most i'm
portant amendment. although of far more
importance than all the rest of the bill.
If Mr.. Sherman will kindly explain how
the conference committee WAS induced 10
suggested. and why. having added an
amendment Of such momentous impor-
tanc. he did not call the attention OF the
Senate TO it, the cOnntry would be deeply
gratitied, and it would have much more ef-
feet than calling names.
Il did not charge Mr. Sherman with hav-
ing taken advsn tage of his knowledge for
speculative purposes. / did ssy that
the few men who knew that the
mining privilege had been taken
from silver had great oppor-
tunity for speculation. but did not
charge that they took advantage of il.
Tho Congressiona al Record is on file at every
public library. Any one who cnres TO know
the truth of this matter has only to take
the Record and follow the bill through from
It's first introd uctioD TO ITS final passs ge.
In this way the absolute accuracy of my
statements in the letter TO the Journal OF
July can be easily ascertained."

CHICAGO. July 6.-"Thst nan ought TO be

These words came with wrath from Sena-
tor John Sherman at the Union Depot last
night. as he was about TO take train for
bis home nj Mansfield. o.. and were drawn
out by q charge brought against him and
others by James II. Plstt. presi-
dent of the Denver Paper Mill CON-

and that not u member OF the Senate

signed the bill. had the fsintest suspicion
that such clause was contained In the

vantage was taken of this secret clause by
members of the conference committee Tor

Mr. Sherman, commenting further on the
Platt charges. SAID: "He Is simply revamp-
ing some old charges that were exploded
long ago They even failed to serve the
purpose they were intended to- and were
pretty generally laughed at by men of both
parties. Why. eminent q Democrat "a
Abraham s. Hewitt of New York, when q
member of the House. investigated the
charges when they were first given cur
renoy. and made a strong report To the
House TO the effect that there Was not a
