Two women met the other morning on the

The murders near Middletown, n. Y.
for which Mrs. Halliday has been held
accountable by the coroners jury, as
noted in the MORNING News dispatches of
yesterday, were peculiarly astrocious.
The woman was the second wife of her
husband. She is supposed to be a half
breed gypsy. When the Hallidays were
first married they lived in a neat farm
house, and Hallidays crippled and half
dcmented son lived with them Some
time ago the house was burned, and with
it the boy. In the light of subsequent
events, and from the stories of neighbors,
it is now believed that the woman killed
the boy, whom she hated, and burned the
house to hide evidence of her crime AT
ter the burning of the dwelling the Hal
lidays lived in a shanty on the farm.
The woman had no friends but her hus-
band was "neighborly sort of an old
fellow" so when he disappeared from his
usual haunts week ago suspicious wee
aroused and search for him was insJi-
tuted. And the search revealed horrors
that were unlocked for by the searchers
In the stable near the shanty were found
buried the bodies of two women, one Of
thirty and the other of twenty years of
age. Each had been riddled with bullets
from revolver Circumstances discov-
cred later went to show that both women
had been butchered as they slept and
their bodies luggcd out and buried
in the filth of the stable. 1t
was learned also that the women had been
deCOyCd to the place under promises of
extraordinary wages to work as domes-
tics, There was, apparently, no motive
for the killing of the two women, except
the total depravity of the murderer. Two
days subsequent to the discovery of the
bodies of the women the bodyof Halliday,
the husband OF the suspected woman. was
found buried under the shanty floor. He
had been shot a number of times and
dubbed until his features were battered
out of shape. There seems to be no rea-
sonable doubt that the woman murdered
the three persons.

Is mis- Senatorial Courtesy P''

From the Louisville CourierJOurnal (Dem).
1t is proposed to give $500 of public money
to each of the three senators appointed by the
governors of their respective states and re-
fused their seats by the Senate. The origi-
nal purpose of such appropriations to mem
bers who had been unseated or denied their
seats was to pay the expense OF contest In
these cases there was no contest, and there
could not have been much expense. Sena-
torial courtesy is a little over-c0urteous in

Why should not Tom Gould, "the
wickedest man in New York, " go on the
stage if he wishes TO, He has been
guilty of only few robberies, maybe a
murder or two, and "a term in the legis-
lature. But are not Spike" Hennessy.
Jim Corbett, John L. Sullivan and Steve
Brodie already stars of the profession?
When people of their class go upon the
stage they perpetrate a species Of rob
berry upon the public through the box
Office, it is true. But it is honest rob-
berry, so to speak; no advantage is taken
aud no force is employed to make people
give up money, and that is an improve
ment upon any business Tom Gould has
yet been engaged in. His efforts al re-
formation should be encouraged.

The scheme recently proposed in the
House by Mr.. Talbert, of South Carolina.
for the curing Of all the country's finan-
cial ills at one swoop, contemplates not
only the issuing of something like s.. OOO,-
100000 of currency, but the distributing
OF 1t among the states, and its redistrib-
ution by the states to the people. Mr..
Talbert's idea is to issue fat notes to an
amount equal to $50 per capita of the
population. These notes are to be given
10 the states in amounts proportionate to
their population in exchange for their
twenty-year bonds bearing ! per cent. in
terest. The states are each to adopt such
system Of distribution as they may deem
most advisable 1t is probable that Mr..
Talbert' idea is to distribute the money
to the people upon a somewhat similar
plan, taking twenty-year per cent. prom
issory notes. How the bonds are to be
retired is left unexplained No explana-
ton is necessary, however. The plan is
worth no more than a dollar issued under

The steamship Berlin, of the American
line, recently formed for the purpose OF
securing American registry for the New
York and the Paris, has not yet formally
become an American ship. She still sails
under the British flag. Recently four
American seamen deserted from the
cruiser Chicago at Southampton and took
passage for New York in the Berlin. The
navy department has ordered that, upon
the arrival of the Berlin in port, a deputy
marshal board her and make a search for
the deserters. Eighty-odd years ago
Great Britain claimed and endeavored to
maintain right to search American YES
sells, and out of the resulting dispute grew
the war of 1912. But is the Berlin a Brit

Postal notes, costing three cents for
sums under -, constitute the most con-
yenient medium of exchange at present
available for sending small sums of money
through the mails. But postal notes lack
a great deal Of being an ideal postal cur
reney. There is too much red tape about
them TO make them popular There is a
bill pending in congress to provide a
postal fractional currency to displace
postal notes, the issuing of which it is
proposed shall be discontinued on January

add, that we have had as complete a

executive hum-bugs, as has ever
hampered the world since the days of

people have begun to awaken from
the death-like lethargy which seemed
to have overtaken them, and which
had wellnigh been fatal; it now re-

on guard to sound the hours, and see
that the enemy is not allowed to in
wade the camp, and again administer
the lethean draught which lulls to
fancied security while their rights and
substance are being filed from them,
even as the vampire gently sooths its
victim with the fiutter of its wings.
while it drains its life blood. This is
battle to the death with the shy
locks, and the Judases, and legalized

that we give our champions in the

that is possible, stifen their backbone,
and promise them the rewards their

The Wyoming senatorial election
resulted in more satisfactory manner
than was anticipated last week. Mil
lionaire Warren bought up couple
of democrats, as there is good reason
to believe, and it looked as though the
conspiracy would win, but "there is
many slip between the cup and the
lip" The legislature, thanks to the
i Independent action of populists demo-
Gratis and republicans, took the pluto
cratic bull by the horns and adjourned
the legislature without electing a
senator. This leaves Governor Os-
borne to appoint II senator and free
silver democrat will be the man.

The senatorial contests in several
states only serve to emphasize the
necessity of election of United States
senators by the popular vote. If no
other question but economy came in
it would be desirable as so much pre-
cious time Of the legislatures is wasted
IN senatorial contests. The corruption
and bribery consequent one such con-
tests is another reason. The peace of
the state, and the interests of econo-
mical and good government all de-
mand that senators should be elected
by the people direct.

accedes to what hefeels and knows are
unjust and unreasonable conditions.
The populists are not downcd by
long ways. They have both houses of
the legislature. the state Offices and
will winin the fight of law and order.
Much is said about the supreme court
deciding as to which is the legal house.
1t is patent to any careful thinker that
the supreme court has no jurisdiction
in the case. Never has the supreme
court of the states or of the nation at
tempted such IL decision only as arbi-
traitors by Dlutual consent of both
parties. and then merely as a volun-
tary matter out side of their judicial
functions:
Legislative bodies are above courts,
create the courts and are not created
by them. Every legislative body are
the sole judges of the qualifications of
their own members, under the law and
the constitution. The only appeal is
to the people at the pools.
The senate can impeach and remove
the members of the supreme court.
The legislative function is dual, with
the executive as Il quasi branch When
the governoraand the senate have re-
eognized the populist house that is the
end of the matter and there is no APP
peal except the popular vote.
