Testimony of Man Rendered Deaf
and Blind by the Explosion.
SAN FRANCISCO, March 1.-THE Gu
rious crowd that has attended the court
room where John Tyrell is on trial for
committing the dynamite outrage of last
September, saw most pathetic spectacle
to-day. Charles Bernard, one of the sur
vivors of the sailor boarding-hou trag-
edy, came to testify against Tyrell. Ber-
nard is blind, deaf and wreck of what
he was before the explosion of the fatal
bomb. He was of powerful physique,
in the prime of manhood. A hush fell
upon the crowded courtroom as the VIC
tim told his story in clear, distinct ac-
cents. audible to all except the speaker.
He told of the discovery of the satchel
containing the deadly explosive. Then
came a crash, and the next he knew he
was lying half naked in the street. He
had nothing to say that bore directly
AGAINST the defendant, and was spared
from eross-examinatlon.

WOOL AND SUGAR.

Washington dispatches say that the
wool-growers have failed to induce the
sub Finance Committee to put duty on
wool and will take the question into the
Senate. That is where it belongs. The
wool industry is too important Il. be killed
by single vote in the commit Zee. A pre-
amble and set of resolutions presented to
Chairman Voorhees, of the Finance Com.
mittee makes the statement that there were
4,oo0, 600 Of people in the United States en-
gagged in caring for a, 900, 600 sheep. The
direct investment is $500. 200, coo, with an
indirect investment of $500, 600 600 more.
This industry the wool-growers consid-
cred in danger of humiliation by the pro-
posed action Of the Finance Commit ee.
But Voorhees, could not be persuaded. He
told the wool-growers that the period for
arguments had passed. That is why the
wool-growers will take the case into the
Senate. Sugar is in about the same fix as
wool. The latest report is that the sugar
schedule of tie House bill will stand.
That schedule provides that all sugar
should be admitted free. The committee
will leave sugar free if they can find votes
enough to pass the bill with both wool and
sugar Oh the free list. This resolution
offers promising field Tor action In the
Senate. A combination of wool. sugar
and fruit interests would compel amend
ment in the interest of these industries
The Senators from louisiana, Florida,
Texas and California are looked to to save
industries in which their several States
have such weighty interests. Democratic
Senators who may refuse to vote for the
bill unless amended may urge that they
were elected on tariff for revenue plat
form. Under tariff for revenue there
would be duties on wool. sugar, tea and
coffee. These are articles from which rev.
enue can be most easily collected. A
strictly revenue tariff would have
no free list The purposes of rev.
enue do not require discrimination be-
tween imports except as to details made
necessary by difference of value. weight
and measurement. Under a tariff for rev.
enue an ad valorem duty OF from 20 to 80
per cent would be necessary. When.
therefore, the proposition is made to put
such articles as sugar and wool on the free
list Democratic Senators may well urge
that they were not elected under promise
to do such things.

A STRANGE SYMPATHY.

A Dubuque Qowa) dispatch says that the
courtroom in which one Haley is being
tried for murder is filled daily with ro-
mantle maidens. One of the lady visitors
who had ceased to be maiden was so
dem onstrative that her services In the
Sheriff's Office were dispensed with. 1t is
also said that high school class who had
been taking object lessons in civil govern
ment were sentenced to discontinue the
study. 1t is easier TO withdraw the food
upon which this maudlin sympathy feeds
than to eradicate the human feeling from
which 1t. springs. The tender-hearted
young girl or the thouRhtless woman only
see in person on trial human being
subjected to the power OF an invisible law.
The person who has been murdered is not
there. The abstract value of justice is not
comprehensive to the youthful spectator.
The only thought Is if the person she sees
shall suffer. To avoid playing upon SYM
pathies which no one desires TO eradicate
and which are not ALWAYS amenable to
reason the dramatic element In criminal
trials should be eliminated. Persons
charged with crime should not be placed
on exhibition. Their trial should not be
made the occasion for theatrical display.
Girls at an age when they weep unremit-
tingly at Camille" matinee should not
be admitted as,spectators. 1t is a question
If there is an age at which a woman be-
comes safe juror. 1t is certain that
there is none until che has lost the tender
traits OF character which constitute her
greatest charm. When woman juror
would not give person of either sex
charged with murder the extreme benefit
of doubt she is as little iovable as a man.

BOARDING GOLD.

Among the numerous suggestions look
ing to the restoration of silver as money Is
the following from an anonymous writer.
Boiled down, the writer says his plan Is
this:
To control the output and import of silver by
tax. say. of 1929 cents per ounce. Buy gold
with the proceeds Of the tax so collected. Open
the minis to the free coinage OF silver at the
legal ratio Of Is TO /. provided the silver bears
evidence of having paid the tax. Make this
silver when coined exchangeable for "cOin GER
tificates' redeemable In silver on demand and
in gold after ten years.
The tax of 20 90 is trif1e more than on E.
half the commercial value of silver. Both
domestic and foreign producers would
be willing to pay this tax to convert their
bullion into coin with purchasing power
in this country equal to gold. The silver
product of the American continent would
certainly come here for a market. The
Government price would be within frac-
ton of 20 cents for silver that would coin
into 412EA-grain dollar. 1t would estab-
lish the price of silver at 81 an ounce.
But the question may be asked. What use
is this silver to be put to? The silver dol
lars would only hold their exceptional
value within the United States. The
author of the plan argues that the owners
would buy something IN the United States
something that they had been In the habit
Of buying elsewhere. In this way he ex-
poets to get the trade of England, France,
Germany and other European countries,
unless they, too. open their minis to silver.
At first glance the plan seems practical,
but any proposition relating to so abstruse
a science as finance should be received
with canton.

Santa Monica whether the Government
lends hand OF not. and is prepared to
expend million and half in construct
ing a noble breakwater. Ii he chooses to
spend Southern Pacific money in this
direction nobody can interfere with him,
but in that event he should stand aside as
a party not Interested and let the Govern
ment carry out the plans recommended by
five Government boards of engineers to
make harbor at San Pedro. Los Angeles
wants the harbor there, nature seems to
have favored the conception exceptionally,
and engineering opinion is all in support
of it. Two good harbors in the same
locality would be a superfuity Of accom-
mediation. perhaps, but the one at San
Pedro is a necessity, and the other is
only representative of Southern Pacific
policy. The Trans-Mississippi Congress
has surely wit enough to comprehend all
the perspective of the situation. Ii a
Government harbor has to be built 1t
should be the right one.

LITERARY MOVEMENT IN FRANCE

In this country the establishment of a
new magazine attracts no attention. Such
plants are all the time cropping out some
where or other, and the public watches
their growth with faint interest. The
great monthles of New York appear to
have a corner on the market. but still new
periodicals do start up and where they
have bright men at their head make a
constituency for themselves. and gain
money. But the launch of such craft
creates little stir in the world of letters.
1t is different in Paris. Over half GEN.
tnry ago one Francois BuloZ, a journalist
of no repu' alton, established review
called the Revue deS DeuI MOndes. Il u
loz could not write decent grammar, and
his education was imperfect. But he was
smart emo ugh to see that the public would
pay TO read the writings Of able men, and
he engaged number of them TO con-
tribute TO his periodical. He was notori-
ously parsimonious. and vas famous for
getting the work of young writers for
nothing by persuading them that the ap-
pearance of their work in the ReUue would
establish their reputation. In this way
he acquired means to buy the matter of
men of established fame, and the ReUue
became a power in letters. Every body
hated BuloZ; he was narrow-minded,
ignorant, dogmatic. insolent 10 his con-
tributors; but everybody wrote for him.
1t was the only channel outside OF the
newspapers by which a public man could
get access to the public ear. He lost con-
tributor after contributor; he drove away
III. Guizot. by insisting that he understood
French politics better than the Prime
Minister; but others took his place. Like
most French journalists BuloZ was open
TO conviction; the support of the ReUue
could always be secured by those who
knew the ropes. So when Buloz died in
1877, he left large fortune.
His review he left TO his son BuloZ the
younger, who owned something more than
half the stock in the concern. He trOd
In his fathers footsteps, bullied the ablest
writers IL France, but everything that
came to his net was fish; he increased his
own fortune, and the Revue, with its &C.
auired prestige, continued TO flourish at
the head of French literature. One day be
overdid it; he was caught in dirty trans
action, which found its way into the courts.
His fellow Stockholders rose In rebellion,
pressure was brought to bear and Buloz
resigned. He was succeeded by NJ. Bru-
netiere, member of the Academy aud an
able man, but one of the old school. who
believe that the work of creation stopped
at their birth.
The Paris writers have now com bined
to establish new review, to be called the
Revue de Paris. and have secured the
collaboration of the brightest minds in
letters. The editor is to be M. Gauderax.
| who has been dramatic critic of the Reuue
des Deur Mondes; his assistant is the
famous writer on Jewish history, James
Dormstetter. Among those who have been
engaged to write are Sardou, Bourget,
| Marcel Provost. Daudet, Ludovic Halevy,
Mielhac. Lanesdau. Hervien and others OF
equal note. With such staff. the ReUue
de Paris ought to run its senior rival q
