;s desirable IN have the law governing appor-
tonments established firmly at all points.
In the mean time it is proper, and may not
no unproltable 70 consider that the Kings
County Supervisors and their mentors have been
selections only to avoid by as narrow margin
~ n,.siblo the danger Of having their work
annullod again. Their obligation to make a
really fair apportionment has apparently never
ontered their minds. Il might have been sup
posed. if there had not been so much evidence
to the contrary, that they would derive con-
Siderable satisfaction from doing their work in
sucb n manner as to earn the appreciation Of
honest mon of all parties. They have evidently
nrcforred TO gain credit with the Democratic
orpauization for a clever performance of the
kind TO which their party leaders have devoted
all their skill and energy in recent years. And
all things considered, perhaps their preference
is not surprising. They have seen rascality
succeed and their party apparently strengthened
by il. and have noted the fact that the instru-
ments employed for the purpose are honored
and prosperous. We do not believe that po-
litical immortality pays Z" in the long rum" but
we must acknowledge that the run which it is
now having is not so brief as it might have
been expected to be. We confidently believe
that it will come to an end sooner or later but
Democratic bosses undoubtedly have some ex-
cuse for thinking that it will last long enough
to mako their political fortunes

THE DUTY or CONGRESS.

There is little doubt that if Congress were
now in session it would make some provision
for the victims of the disaster at Washington.
At least we trust that this assumption does not
impute to majority of members stronger
sense of Justice than they feel. 1t must be mat
they are now deeply impressed, wherever they
may he by the consciousness that their neglect
of reasonable appeals, often and fervenly
urged, has had disgraccful and tiaglcal cohse-
ouences. 1t is possible that some OF those VINO
have posed as economists and watchdogs Oh
the Treasury" would still venture to MAINTAIN
that miserable pretence, and even carry 'heir
customary opposition to supplying the pam
requirements of decent public service to the
extreme of resisting the claims which a dread
full catastrophe has established. But II there
are such members of Congress we cannot be-
eye that they would be able, at such time
rs this. to control the action of that body.
There is. however, some danger that before
Congress reassembes the profound impression
which has been produced may fade away, and
tho nublic opinion which would now demand
the promrt enactment of liberal measure OF
relief lose its force. 1t is duty to prevent II
possible. such a seeming acqWescence III the
results of shameful policy.
The country obviously owes to the injured
and to the families of the dead whatever repa-
ration for their grevous Affections can be rem
dcred by practical, pecuniary help. The cltI-
zens of Washington are generously supplying
the necessities of the moment, but such as
sistance can be only temporary. There are
doubtless many cases which viii call for perma-
nent relief, and there is no excuse upon which
it can be decent1y withheld. The country owes
likewise to the employees of the Government
who have hitherto escaped the fate to which
thousands of them have long been exposed a
guarantee of future safety. We do not believe
that majority of the citizens of the United
States approve the parsimony which condemns
their public servants to perform the work OF
Government under conditions of peril and dis
comfort. The men in Congress who have sue
ceeded in imposing and maintaining these con-
diticns illustrate thereby their own narrow in
te,iigence and selfish purposes. They do not
reflect popular sentiment. They have had their
day-truly long and d;screditabe one. If
Congress at it's coming session is responsive to
the will of the country it will initiate differ
emit policy.

THE KINGS COUNTY RE1PPORTIONMEN

The Supervisors Of Kings County have CON
cocted another apporiionmcnt, by which they
hope to make certain the election Of sixteen
Democratic Asscmblymen out of a possible
eighteen. Their party leaders, who have been
giving a great deal Of anxious thought to this
matter since the Court Of Appeals upset the
previous gerrymandcr, are supposed to be well
satisfied with the job which the Supervisors
have turned out They were exceedingly ini-
tated and offended with the Court for over
ruling inferior tribunals and putting them to
the trouble of doing over again under consid-
erablo disadvantages a piece of work which
perfectly illustrated their political morality and
accomplished their political purposes. The de-
cision against the monumental gerry mandcr of
last year, creating districts which varied in
population from 10000 to 100, 900, was pretty
rigid and vigorous. 1t was no easy task to
produce an equally satisfactory result by other
means and at the same time keep within the
letter OF troublesome law. But now that the
labor is past they look upon the issue and pro-
nounce it good. The Supervisors and the bosses
are prepared 10 receive the congratulations of
their acknowledgements.
1t is probable tina, the Court of Appeals will
have to consider this apportonmcnt also in due
course. Its genius consists in complicated
and artful division Of wards and Kings County
Republicans are disposed to contend that this
is unlawful, notwithstanding the fact that the
districts show reasonable equality Of popula-
ton. Experience has proved and perhaps
never more conclusvcly than during tho he.
two or three years, that it is unsafe for laymcn
to forecast the operations of the judicial mind,
ard We refrain from even surmse as to the
opinion Of the courts in case this matter comes
before them for review. But it is to be hoped
that it will be brought to their attention. for it

no suspicious amplifcation of the prisoners ex-

witnesses and the light blue dress with ITS

WINGED from the first day that Lizzie Borden
alone could have murdered h6r stepmother ana
father They devoted their energies 10 the
business of making out case against her'
but apparently did not know how to go about
il. They waited for her to give them cues
and even then failed to discover her IN the act
Of burning the gown. In their desperation
they had recourse TO processes at once inquis-
tora and cocrcive.
1t was at that point that they clearly and
fundamentally placed themselves OUTSIDE inc
limits OF Justice and law. 1t was their duty 10
discover the murderer, but they had no right
10 drag facts out of the helpless, half-crazed
woman, whom they had under their eyes ana
against whom they had sworn out warrant.
Inscrutable as was the murder mystery Lizzie
BORDEN had the supreme right to be accounted
innocent until her guilt could be proved, and
the attempt 10 coihpcl hci W iH,ii"''"''0 "''
self was a wanton outrage upon law and
morals Whatever may be the final result of
the trial, one moral may be drawn at once
and sharply emphasized. The police in their
zeal to make out case when confronted with
public clamor and criticism must never con-
vert the legitimate processes of espionage and
detective skill into measures OF persecution
and Injustice The law is not rack for
tortuiing and discriminating those accused of
crime. 1t is shield for the protection of in
noccnce as well as a sword for furnishing guilt.

This is the season when great deal Of per
functory advice is given to college graduates; and
probably they stand less in need of it than any
other class in the community Every old boy who
revisits academic scenes is impressed with the fact
that there is a marked improvement in the gradu-
atcs. physically and intellectually, over college
men of his own time. The colleges are not
standing still Educational processes are finer and
more thorough every year. There is no such thing
as academic dcgcneracy

The venerable Charles Butler has done many
things for which his fellowcitizens and towns
men will remember him gratefully. His latest
Gift TO Scarsdac and Grcnburg in the vicinity
Of which he has made his summer home for many
years, is unique. 1t consists of Il macadamized
road and an iron bridge. the cost Of which was
shared with Mr.. Butler by Mr.. Welcome e. Hitch
cock. One of the ancents declared that he had
erected monument more enduring than brass.
Mr.. Buffers gift will doubtless be as lasting as
that metal; il will certainly be more useful.

and ineffective. Home Rule can easily survive
such assaults upon il.

Some people have found fault with Lizzie
Borden because Of the little emotion displayed
by her, despite the trying experiences she Is
undergoing. Her self-c,i ;rol, which approaches
s,olidty, is phenomenal. but it i, doubtless the
normal outgr with of the conditions OF her life
and inheritance. Yesterday, however, she wept,
not rasscnately. but quietly as scarcely 10
3tt,act notice when the court rendered de-
cision strongly in her favor. Whatever may be
said in her behalf by her lawyers, 1t Is GER
tain that she has no intention CT aiding her
cause by appeals TO the sympathleS Oh inc
jurors.
The prccee lings yesterday at the inquest on
the victims of the Washington tragedy were
extraordinary. They would have been remark
able even without the outbreak against Colonel
Ainsworth which disclosed the depth and in
tensity of the feeling against him as the man
responsible for endangcrng the lives of many
clerks and bringing a score or more TO tnclf
death His presence with lawyer at the IN
quest showed that he appreciates the position
in which he finds himself placed That the
clerks were in abject terror OF their chief was
testified to by more than one, and 1t Is eX-
,remely significant that Secretary Lamont
deemed it necessary to send a letter assuring
the clerks that they would not leopard their
places by testifying without restraint at the
inOuest.

The logic OF the evidence in the New Bedford

The Rapid Transit Commission, the status
of which is not unlike that of Mahomet's coffin,
seems to be preparing to hold another meeting
to-day. If the members who resigned consent
to meet Mr.. Starn again, it will be virtual
admission that their conduct in resigning was
q bold piece of bluff. 1t is possible, but un-
likely, that something worth while will be ac-
oomplished if another meeting takes place. The
chief thing demonstrated by the Commission
thus far is its inability to accomplish that at
which it was supposed to be aiming. If it pro-
ceeds with its work 1t will be only to prove
anew that it is unable to meet the demands of
the community. In respect of such rapid tran
ST as the city needs we are just where we were
when the law creating the Commission was
passed.

Secretary Carlisle so Washington dispatch
says, takes much interest in the investigation
which Dunn, Magone & Co. are making at the
Custom House in this city, and is determined
that it shall be thorough and complete" Mr.
Carlisle must have queer ideas about thorough
ness and completeness, or else he has been sadly
misled by his advisers The investigation Dor.

of fairness about it. BY the terms under which

foolish and fatal course as that of the mon
engaged in digging under the building which
