The Gerry Society and the Law.

A good deal OF discussion has lately been
occasioned by an incident at one of the SEES
sions OF the LEXow committee, concerning
the authority exercised by the Society for
the Prevention of Cruelty TO Children. As
for the senseless attacks upon that society
which have appeared in certain crack
Drained newspapers, they have our hearty
detestation. The noble charity with which
the name of ELBRIDGE T. GERRY is con-
nected is most valuable and useful. and we
desire To say that in our judgment
whatever authority the society possesses has
been hsbitually used for good, In most of
the instances in which it is charged that the
society has acted despotically it will be
found that it has acted wisely, The tears of
mother bereft of her children are pitiful,
but not always sincere; and an ignorant and
gullible sentimentality has only itself TO
blame when IL reads tender maternal long
ing in the howl of some wretched bag,
from whom good men have taken the starved
and stunted victim of her beggary and pros
titution. Such is our appreciation of the
good done by the GERRY society, and of the
unselhsh, untiring philanthropy of its found
er, that we would not print one word con
corning them which any person, however
stupid, might think savOred of hostility
But the truth can do no harm. As was
stated by member of the LEXow COM
mittee, il has been the custom OF the Legis-
lature ITO give Mr.. GERRY about what he
wanted when he came To Albany asking
for legislation. We are bound TO say that il
would have been better all around il the
custom had been followed with a little more
discrimination.
Under successive amendments to the Penal
Code and to the general statutes, any agent
Of the GERRY society can take any mans
child in the street or from his home, and
arraign him before Police Justice; and il
the agent On n convince the Police Justice that
the child would he better on in an institu-
ton, there the child goes and there the child
stays, with no power in the State save Mr..
GEBRY's pleasure that can get him out.
The time-honOred writ of habeas corpus
must issue compulsorily, Of course. when
applied for; but il Is here merely form,
since the Judges can regard only the techni-
cal accuracy of the wording of tue commit
ment, and are forbidden To inquire into the
right and wrong Of the case There can be

The eager discussion Of TIE proposed Eu-
ropean interference in the war between China
and Japan suggests the rapidity with which
events are marching under the vigorous gener-
alship Of the latter power The contest, In fact
somewhat recalls modern wars Of European ma
tions, like that OF Prussia with Austria In 1865
or Of Germany with France in 1870. not indeed
in the magnitude Of the operations, but in tho
rapidity with which hostilities were actually
begun. when once resolved upon.
In this respect the war has lesson for far
more powerful countries. The whole tendency
Of modern warfare is to make much Of Selling
the initiative and securing the benefit Of su-
perior position Of the forces at the outset or Of
more mature preparation. A striking illustra-
ton of these facts was furnished by the sinking

are in some respects not moro striking than tho
teachings to the rapidity with which two
countries can be plunged into actual fighting in
these days. The actual practice Is to strike at

Mr.. CIcveIand's Last Chance.

The only obstacles to the election Of SEN
ator HILL as Governor Of New York have
come from the Administration. The aban-
donment of the Chicago PLATFORM the crea-
ton of the income tax, the Policy Of Infamy,
are the chief Of these.
On his own record rs a Democrat Mr.. HILL
could he elected without trouble. But the
Administration has estranged business men
by the income tax, insulted the American
sentiment by the Policy of Infamy in Hawaii
and Samoa, disguised thousands of loyal
Democrats by its desertion Of the principles
upon which 1t was elected.
We need not speak Of the services that
Mr.. HILL has rendered to Mr.. CLEVELAND
and the Democratic party in this State and
the nation. In keeping the New York
Democracy solid in spite Of faction and
mutiny on the part of some professed ad-
mirers Of Mr.. CLEVELAND, Governor HILL
did great work for him and the national
Democracy. Now, when Senator HILL, I'M
dismayed by the rout of the Democratic
forces in half a dozen States, prepares to
make rally and reorganization and check
the retreat before it becomes an absolute
skedaddle, he has a right to look to the Ad-
ministration for all the help il can give.
The Administration is largely responsible
for the disasters that have come. There is
left to it one opportunity to retrieve itself,
and to join in saving New York from the
rising tide of calamity. Will Mr.. CLEvE-
LAND take that chance

The Prieging of Bynum's Pocket book

A striking instance of what is called
poetical justice occurred at Huntington,
Ind, last Thursday. The Hon. WILLIAM d.
BYNUM Of the Ways and Means Committee
went to barbecue. Some observer marked
him for Populist gull, and stole his leather
pocketbook. This work, bereft of the money
It had contained, was found 1t held moth
ing but two railroad passes to Washington.
Mr.. BYNUM, it seems, has had himself put
on the free list by the railroad companies.
Observe the admirable retribution that
has fallen upon this fustian patriot. He is
one Of the hottest howlers for the income
tax. He has helped to frame law that
gives the Federal Government the right to
pick the pockets of certain classes of our
citizens. He is very proud OF his share in
putting up this robbery. His bombastic
thunders in celebration OF it are still crack
ing and pealing; while at Huntington some
thoughtful man, who had made study Of
the Populist theory of taxation and prop
erty, prigs Mr.. BYSUM's pocketbook and
rifles It, and, TO emphasize the jest, leaves it
where it can be found, with the railroad
passes giving new certificate of Populism to
this heated Hoosier Demopopo Fate is
wag, and BYNUM is paid in his own coin.

verbatim report Of II, illustrated with the
very best pictures by our most skilled ar.
lists. The people want pleasure, and only
a fraction Of them could crowd into Madison
Square Garden.
We like to make our readers happy, the
Republicans as we'll as the Democrats. We
cannot make the Mugs, which Is short for
Mugwumps, happy. We are sure that the
debate here spoken Of would be the cause Of
mirtb to all the Democrats in New York,
and they are the majority Of the population.
In the Southern States, candidates for Of
fice. even for the office Of Governor, often
hold open debate with each other at election
times, in the presence Of vast bodies Of
voters The very latest OF these debates
took place in South Carolina few weeks
ago, and many Of the people who heard IL
brought their old shotguns with them to the
meeting. The debate was between TfLLMAN
and BUTLER. No shotguns at the Madison
Square Garden meeting, in case Mr.. MoRToN
shall there hold debate with Mr. HILL. We
call upon Superintendent BYRNEs to search
all Republicans before they pass the gate.
No Democrat would take his shotgun. The
Democrat would be more likely to take
some medicine that would enable him to
preserve his gravity while Mr.. HILL was not
speaking.
Why, then, should we not have the debate
between the two rival candidates for Gov
ernor3 We have no authority for saying
that the Democratic candidate would like
IL; but we are inclined to believe that he
would prepare for it IL he were challenged
As for the Republican candidate, it is hard
to doubt that he will seize the opportunity
Of laying out his adversary.
Eagerly will all New York, including the
Union League and the Tammany Society,
await the issue of that challenge.

Sessions; but the appeal IL virtually an.
nulled before II Is taken, by provisions that
II must be made within ten days, and that,
in case OF decision adverse to the society,
Mr.. GERRY has the rare privilege Of appeal
ing to the General Term Of the Supreme
Court and thence 10 the Court Of Appeals.
As the cost Of such litigation IL invariably
beyond the means Of the parent, IL is almost
never undertaken To clinch the hopeless
ness Of the situation, law has been passed
providing that, in the case Of the prolonged
appeals referred TO, which may run through
period Of years, the child shall remain in
the custody OF the GERRY society, as much
secluded from It's parents a. 10 IL had been
decided finally that the parents were unfit
TO care for IL.
To state these surprising enactments
shows the necessity for their abolition. The
Supreme Court should have the power TO
review the wisdom a. well as the legality OF
commitments Of Police justices which now
serve TO conine children Of tender years
until they become Of age; and the Court
Of General Sessions should have the right TO
decide at any time whether parents are At to
care for their children. Should the decision
be in favor Of the parents, and should Mr..
GERRY appeal the General Sessions should
have the discretion Of declaring who should
take the children until the appeal is decided.
Again affirming our admiration Of Mr..
GERRY and our belief that he has used his
great privileges honestly and philanthropy
cally, we think that these privileges are too
great No one man, however good or wise,
should be empowered to tie up the courts
and imprison people at his will. The au-
thority which Mr.. GERRY possesses and
which seems TO have gathered by gradual
accretions quite unconscously, we dare say,
to Mr.. GERRY himself, il, in fact, an amaz-
ing invasion ofthe fundamental safeguardsof
legal procedure and the liberties of the peo-
pie. It is full Of danger, and would never
have been granted had Mr.. GERRY asked for
1t as a whole. 1t would not he sought for
by an executive or judicial officer of the
State even, save in some stress of public
danger. We cannot conceive that its exer-
else is at all necessary to the conduct Of the
children's society; and it Is plain that in
consequence Of IL the society is subjected to
much unnecessary dsparagement.

How the Case Stands.

Those prophets who make dark predic-
tions a. TO the result OF the Democratic can
yass in New York this fall, are merely
arguing from the political conditions that
prevailed in Rhode Island, Vermont, Maine,
and the other States in which recent cleo
tions have shown severe Democratic losses
In those States, ~ in this state. disgust
with the Administration and Congress, and
resentment at their piddling and dishon-
eat tariff policy, have caused many Demo
cratic voters TO stay away from the polls, or
induced them to vote the Republican ticket
for the purpose Of emphasizing their indig-
nation; and all the bitterness OF period OF
commercial and industrial depression has
been visited upon Democratic candidates
and the Democratic party. Thus both rea-
sonable and unroasoning wrath has fallen
upon the Democrats In half q dozen States,
and the prophets croak and the Republicans
hope that the Walls will be emptied upon the
Democrats Of this State also. But here the
case In different. The Democratic candidate
for Governor had no part in the devising OF
that lottery OF shame, the WILSON GORMAN
bill He did not sell or swap his principles.
He did not bow down to the idol Of Pop
ulism. He did not join the crazy crowd
of Democrats and Populists that attacked
the savings Of the rich and the poor He
fought the income tax, and stood up
strenuously for the interests Of the PEG
pie Of this State. Every man and
woman in New York that has any
sum, however small, invested in any OF
the corporations that are mulcted by the
income tax, owes thanks to Senator HILL.
Ex,ar I,,,ai hron rh IF
and trade and finance, every man and
woman Of thrift is indebted to him for his
strong, although, unhappily, unsuccessful eff
forts to protect the prosperity and frugality
of the people Of New York from spolistion,
inspired by men who at heart are enemies
of property and the right Of accumulation.
Senator HILL is clear of participation in
all the bungling and sneaking and niggling
that marked the abandonment Of the con-
stitutional tariff and the patching up of the
Protectionist-P opulist tariff He has no re-
sponsibility for the great desertion. He is
free and clear from the dishonor. He stands
before the voters Of New York not as a cul-
prit to be punished. but as a good public
servant to be rewarded. In other States the
party has been punished for the sins of its
unfaitbful representatives. He has been
faithful representative, and the people have
full reason to approve and not condemn him.
Add to the fact that Senator HILL has
been himself the most persistent opponent
Of the policies OF which the voters have
shown their disapproval, the fact that the
stagnstion and uncertainty Of business are
passing away and the times growing better
every day, and you have the situation In
New York and the good grounds for believ-
ing that the next Governor will he Demo
orat, and mighty good Democrat.
