The Laws Delay.

When IL became known last Saturday
that a worthless negro thief had shot and
killed Policeman Neve there were some
threats Of lynching the murderer if he
were caught. This kind of talk was dis
Outraged by citizens who believe in per-
hitting the law 10 takei its course.
The threats of lynching were the out
cropping Of a belief that there is too great
a delay in trying those charged with muir
der. The people want justice dealt out
quickly If the accused is guilty they
want him punished while the crime is
fresh in the public mind, and if he is
innocent they want him released from
prison.
As general thing, Justice is dealt out
promptly in the courts IN this county,
though there are cases that have dragged
along for good while, and which are
certain to be spoken Of whenever a homi-
eide occurs.
The killing of Policeman Neve was the
occasion of calling attention to the Fred
Barclay case. II has been more than
three years since Fred Barclay killed T.
E. Respess at the Central railway depot.
an indictment was found the following
Decembe The case has been con-
tinued from term to term. II would
seem as if the court should
not have permitted it to remain on the
docket so long without being tried. The
tragedy is gradually being forgotten by
the general public. Why the case has
never been tried we do not know; but
surelyit has been possible to get the
witnesses together within the last three
years if it is possible to get them at all
The longer the trial of the case is put of
the greater will be the difficulty, in all
probability, in bringing out all the facts.
So long a delay may prevent justice being
done.
The Meyers murder case has not been
disposed of yet, although it has been two
years or more since the crime was COM
mitted. 1t is true the case was appealed
to the supreme court, but ought not muir
der cases be given the preference in that
tribunal so that there may be no delay in
justice
One of the excuses in the south, and
perhaps the chief one for lynchings is the
delay in bringing criminals guilty of the
worst offenses to trial The people COM
plain that if they depend upon the courts
justice is likely to be defeated. They
have confidence in the integrity of
the courts, but experience teaches them
that the delays in the administration of
the law that are permitted for one cause
or another often results in the guilty
escaping punishment.
Courts are altogether too lenient in
granting continuances. An accused per-
son who has a bad case is not going to
trial as long as he can avoid doing so, be-
cause he knows that the longer the trial
is put of the more difficult it is for the
state to get evidence against him. Wit
nesses get beyond the reach of the court
or their memories fail
To prevent crime, check lynchings and
inspire respect and confidence in the courts,
the punishment of criminals must be
swift and sure. Delay in the administra-
tion of justice makes more work for the
courts and increases the burden of tax
payers.

overestimated Fortunes.

If the income tax feature Of the Wilson
bill becomes part Of the revenue law it
will be found no doubt, that many of the
great fortunes are not nearly as large as
they are represented as being The tenden-
cy IS to greatly Overestimate the fortunes
OF wealthy men. There is no way 10 find
out what the market value of the fortune
Of any man is. Its market value is its true
value, because that value is based upon
the income it yields or promises to yield
few days ago the New York World
in an article showing the amount of reve-
nue. that would be derived from the
proposed income tax in the
cities of New York and
Brooklyn, gave an estimate of some of the
great fortunes held in those cities. For
instance, it placed John d. Rockefeller's
fortune at $l25, 900 900 and his annual in
come at SOL $50. William B. Astor's
fortune at $4,000, 900 and his annual in
come at $S,9OO,OOO. Russell Sage's for
tune at S90,0O0,0OO and his income at
A,9OO,000 Jay Gould's estate at SlO0, 0OO,-
900 and the annual income at S4,O4O, 900:
Cornelius Vanderbilt, $50, 600, 900 and his
annual income at s., O4s, 900; William K.
Vanderbilt, S75, 900 900 and his annual in
come at 50, 1876, 600; Henry NJ. Flagler 500
600 900 and his annual income at s, OOO.-
600
These are only a few of the many large
fortunes enumerated in the Worlds
list of New York and Brooklyn
millionaires. 1t would be interesting to
know how near the estimate is to the
truth. 1t is probable that the actual
market value of the property held by any
one of the foregoing millionaires is not
much more than half of the Worlds esti-
mate of it,
To show how wide of the mark the
estimate of the great fortunes of rich men
IS, take the fortune Of George w. Childs,
who died day or two ago. Immediately
after his death it was said that his for
tune would amount to $4,000, 900. A day
or two later it was said that it would
amount to 100000 and a leading Phila-
delphia paper AYERS that it will not be
appraised at much, if any, above 81 $50, 900.
This latter estimate is doubtless much
nearer the truth than either of the others.
What is true in respect to the Child's
fortune is doubtless true of the other
great fortunes to which attention is being
called pretty much all the time The
tendency is towards exaggeration, and
when the assessment of incomes is made.
it will be found, no doubt, that the great
fortunes are much less In amount than
1t was thought they were.

1t is the duty of this government, as
matter Of course, to protect American
citizens in whatever country they may be
sojourning. But it should not be the duty
Of the government to protect quasi Amer
lean citizens, who are really Armenians,
engaged in seditious enterprises in Tur-
key. The charge has been made that
Armenians come to this country and Sc
cure citizenship merely for the purpose of
enjoying the protection of the United
States when they return to Turkey
and engage in unlawful work, and the
President considers the charge well
grounded. 1t is, therefore, pretty certain
that Minister Terrell, at Constantinople,
has not to ordered an ironclad to
secure the release of two American citl-
zens of Armenian birth" imprisoned in
Northern Syria on the charge of sedition;
nor is it in the least likely that he will be
instructed to demand the release of the
prisoners, as advised by certain republi-
can papers. It is not the business of this
government to convert Mohammedans, or
to overthrow corrupt foreign govern
ments.
