Judge Chetlain's suspension Of sentence
in the Prendergast case seems to have
been as clearly a misconstruction OF law as
1t was a cheating of Justice The Illinois
statute is as follows:
If, after Judgment and before execution
of the sentence, such person become lunatic
or insane, then, in case the punishment be
stayed until the recovery of said person
from the insanity or lunacy. In all these
cases (other cases of sudden insanity are
mentioned) 1t shall be the duty OF the court
to impanel jury to try whether the ac-
cused be- at the time of impaneling, insane
or lunatic.
This statute applies to cases where a
prisoner becomes lunatic or insane after
judgment and before execution Of the SEN
tence. It's evident object was to provide
for cases where there was a distinct change
in the condition or conduct Of a prisoner
after his conviction, affording evidence of
insanity that did not exist at or before
the trial. In Prendergasts case there was
nothing of this kind His conduct after trial
and sentence was the same as before. The
question of his sanity was decided at the
time of his trial, and there Is evidence
of any change In his condition since. Judge
Chetlain seems to have strained a point
to misconstrue the law in favor of the
prisoner. i ll@iA1x

Death of n Former Resident.

Several weeks ago mention was made in
the Journal Of the death of Mrs. William
II. Karnes, a former resident of Indianap-
oils. The Madison OWis) Democrat an
nounces the death at the home OF his son,
in that city, OF Mr.. Karnes, her husband,
at the age Of seyenty-nine. The venerable
gentleman was much afflicted by the loss
OF his wife, and few days after her de-
cease he was stricken with paralysis, from
which he did not rally. Mr.. Karnes and
his family lived in this city between the
years 1910 and 1850. and are well remem-
bered by old residents.

1T WORKS ONE WAY ONLY.

The charge that women are lacking in

port from the attitude taken by Washing

Unable women cannot find words to
press the intensity Of their wrath towards

person upon one or more of their number.

creature. they say. and. whether the court
brands him as wretch or not, they will
see to 1t that he is ostracised from respecta-
BILE society for the rest Of his natural life.
1t is not intimated that any lady so brought
into contact with Miss Pollard received any
contamination thereby. On the contrary,
they agree that his conduct was such as to
rouse no suspicion. No one would dare to
suggest that the character and reputation
of Mrs. Blackburn any other of the Ia
dies meeting the girl were not sufficiently
secure to enable them, without loss of
caste. to befriend her. even knowing her de-
pravity, had they been so disposed. 1t is
a new development of the old animosity of
a good woman to a bad one. Mr.. Breckin-
ridge was a moral leper all these years.
If the girl was depraved, he was worse, yet
the excellent Washington ladies enter no
complaint of the fact that he continually as
ISOLATED with them during that period on
most friendly terms. He visited them. he
dined with them, he was on a familiar foot

When, in connection with the foregoing
notable increases in employment, in aggre-

swerable argument in favor Of the benef-

diana Such facts cannot be gainsaid. STILL
those who believe in protection very often
permit their antagonists whom they meet
in the local resorts where public questions
are disputed, If not discussed, to draw
them away from such an impregnable fort
ress to discuss assumptions and trivialities
which have no bearing upon the issue in
this country. The figures showing what
protection has done for Indiana in ten
years have never before been presented as
in the foregoing comparisons, which are
furnished by the census and confirmed, in
a general way, by the report of the Senate
finance committee made in 1892. There can
be no more conclusive and complete argu-
ment. Clip them. and when the glib-tongued
Democrat who has committed Wilson
speech or few puzzling questions which
have no bearing upon the general issue,
present these incontestable facts to him
and hold him up to them. Let him know
the difference between assumption and
facts, defamation and statistics -
In 1892 the prices of the necessaries of life
averaged about 20 per cent. less than in
1880. That is, the dollar earned in 1892 would
purchase as much as $120 earned in $780,

than the same wages in 1850, actually add
ing $500 to the purchase power of the
wages of 1890. raising them to s499.S7, COM
pared with 1880. On the basis of purchase
power the average wages per hand Of 1890
was s1S4.42 in excess of those Of 1880, or over
IS per cent. The foregoing are the best sort
of facts to have on hand when the voor-
heesites undertake to talk tariff.

This is a degradation of citizenship which

A Brace Of Brave Soldiers.

When the Birkenhead troopship
went down, with her 438 brave sol
diers and sailors, many heroic deeds
were done on that sad morning, none
but the shore beholding them.
Here are two examples of true
valor: Ensign Russell of the 7th High
ders, was picked up by n of the
boats when he had all but gained the
shore. Seeing a sailor in the waves,
however, on the point of drowning,
he lifted the man into the boat, and
again took to the water, intending to
swim to land. But in a moment he
was seized by a shark and persisted.
Cornet Bond, of the 18th Lancers,
Just before the vessel foundered, went
below to a cabin where two children
had been left, fetched them mp on
deck and put them In n of the
boats. A few minutes later he thrust
his horse into the sea. Imagine his
delight when he found the noble
animal waiting for him on the beach.

The signal triumph of the wal had
not been achieved when, in November,
1889, Washington made his winter
headquarters at New Windsor, but
there was an accession to the general
expectation of success for the allies, in
the addition of Holland to their num-
Der about the end of the year.
With the foresight Of the warrior
statesman, Washington was ponder
ing the great problem, how to give
necessary authority to Congress in
order to insure the continuity of the
band which attached the thirteen
States together, when at his head
quarters he and Mrs. Washington cele-
brated the return of his natal day in
the year 1871, which counts the cap
ture of Yorktown as it's great feature
and the virtual end of the war of in
dependence.
On February 20, 1888, the prelim-
mary treaty of peace with Great
Britain was signed, and General Wash
ington ate his birthday cake that year
with the satisfaction of a man who had
recently accomplished q great work.
His farewell address to the army bears
the date November 2, 1888, and on
December %, 1888, one of the great
est generals in history resigned his
commission.
He gladly returned to Mount
| Vernon, where weind him on Febru-
ary %. 1884, 1885, 1885, 1887, 1888
and 1889. These years demonstrated
his attainments and sagaoity al a
statesman beyond what his country
men had supposed it possible for any
one nan to possess. I~naugurated
President on April 80, 1889, he pro-
ceeded to administer his great office
under provisions of the Constitution.
He was described as courteous with
out being formal, the possessor of a
singularly attractive smile; eyes
| which would flash and glow upon oc-
casion, and an expression of counte-
nance grave but not stern, which no
painter could catch, and q form de-
clared by Lafayette to be the most
superb he had ever beheld. Phila-
delphia cherished the tradition of the
Presidents chief cook, Uncle Hark-
less, sauntering with the dandies up
Market street in silk with cooked hat
and a gold-headed cane, doing his
share toward clarifying the establish
ment of the Chief Executive. The
stabling and carr of his numerous
horses, his c~ream-colored coach. the
magniticance of his funkies and out
riders are well remembered by every
body acquainted with his biography
but the writer feels that a picture OF
Washington, after his Presidential
days, will be more pleasing than elab,

roundings when the great and wise
