A FEMININE FAILING.


The women of our national capital.
it is said, deeply sympathize with the
gray-haired, handsome congressman, )"
who has everything staked on the re-
suit of the trial now going on. He is
recently married, they argue, and the
honor of his family is at stake.
From disclosures up to date it would
appear that his honor cannot suffer a
great deal, because he has very little
of that which every true man prizes
left. Whatever he may show in his
defense as to the character of the
plaintiff his own can never more be re-
gardedN as white like his hair.
There is strange streak in the ma
ture of many women that induces them
to forgive man for the worst crimes in
the decalogue, and receive him, me-
taphorically at least, if not literally.
with open arms, while at the same time
they look with distrust, even with pos
tive loathing, upon his female VIC
tim.
The Instances are numerous. 1t is
not so very many years ago but that
lit will be readily called to mind. that
a burly negro by the name of Chas-
tine Cox, brutally murdered a woman
named Hull in New York. He was
tried and condemned to execution.
During the time intervening from his
sentence to his execution he was an
object of supreme solicitude from the
fair sex in the metropolis.
They sent him flowers, fruit. wines
and other luxuries and, delicacies
Nearly every day he received notes of
sympathy from women who would new
er have deigned to notice him had it
not been for the fact that he was
guilty Of the heinous crime of murder
an unprovoked. cowardly killing.
There were no extenuating circum-
stances in the case; not one iota of
evidence To prove that Mrs. Hull, the
victim. was other than peaceably-
disposed. good old lady.
BY the efforts of these women. Cox's
case was postponed from time to time.
They gave freely of their money to
keep the good cause" along. Finally,
however, the brute met the fate he so
richly deserved; but the execu-
ton was robbed Of more than
half of its honors-the EXAMPLE sought

WHAT THE COUNTRY. WANTS.

The people of the United States ap-
pear to be more concerned now ever
the delay in passing the Wilson bill
than as to it's probable effects. "The
fear of free trade" SO often mentioned
by Republican papers to account for
the genera. business depression, does
not seem now to take with the masses.
They manifest no scare on that head.
They see through the thin pretences
of politicians and have discovered that
all that free trade" talk was designed
to deceive.
The Democratic Senators who are
taking time to examine the new tariff
bill, with view to making it as, ac-
ceptable as possible to the country,
may be chided now for their delay,
but when the bill has passed, many
who are now so impatient will ac-
knowledge that prudence caused it
and that caution was right
One of the greatest objections to the
bill as modified by the Senate commit
tee seems to be its apparent adapta-
ticn TO the wishes of different Sena-
tors who are actuated by sectional and
selfish motives. 1t is impossible to
please the whole country, but it is not
desirable to provoke hostility when it
can be prevented without doing VIC
lence to principle. The Wilson bill does
not pretend to be a free trade meas
ure. It is traiff for revenue bill.
arranged to work as little damage as
possible to any industry heretofore
protected and yet not fall into the
grooves of protection. It is a conser-
vative measure which will no doubt
last good many years, to be sue
ceeded some time by further nodiilca-
lions as to duties. until the line Of
free trade can be approached as nearly
as is consistent with the welfare of
the country in its commercial rela-
tons with the civilized world
Following are few press opinions
in regard to the situation, which we
copy without endorsement and with
out comment. They express simply
the views of the papers from which
! they are taken:
Get the tariff bill before the SEN
ate at once and press ii to early pas
sage" says the Philadelphia Times
Qnd. Dem), which reminds the Sena-
tors that they are already responsible
for six weeks of delay since the Will
son bill was laid before them.
What the country demands is early
action, says the Hartford Times
| tDem). speaking of tariff legislation
THE bill will not be satisfactory to
all sections. No tariff bill can be; and
If the Senate committee is trying to
frame one that will, it is simply wrest-
ling with the impossible"
The indianapolis Sentinel Dem.)
says There are just three things that
are absolutely essential to the exist
ence Of the Democratic party just now,
and they are these: a. That a tariff
reform bill be passed. 81 That a sat
! isfactory tariff reform bill be passed.
Cd That a satisfactory tariff reform
bill be passed speedily"
The Indianapolis Sentinel DEM, re-
CARDS the Senate draft of the Wilson
bill in the nature of sale and de-
livery of the Democratic party, and
addressing the majority, it says: Put
those raw materials back on the free
list; wipe out those favors to Trusts;
or else understand that when you re-

to the shown to the world failed of its
purpose-owing to the fact that the end
of the brutal murderer Chastine Cox
was really more of the nature of a So
ciety function than the paying of
debt due to justice.
Then there was the wife-murderer
Balbo. Mrs. Balbo was a handsome
young Italian. She created somewhat
of sensation among the young sons
of sunny Italy upon her arrival in
this country. Jealousy on the part Of
Balbo resulted, and her death followed,
caused by couple of wicked stabs
with stiletto in the neck BaIbo
escaped. The news of the murder was
published far and wide. The papers
told of the murdered woman lying in
her room. Not soul appeared to
offer his services in behalf of the
victim. and her body was finally in
tered at the expense of the state.
Two weeks went by. Balbo was
caught in the meshes of the law. The
case against him was so clear that the
jurors We're out of the box but fifteen
minutes. He was found guilty and
sentenced to be hanged. New York S
female -Four Hundred pleaded for him
in vain.
Baffied in their attempts to secure a
pardon or respite. they did what
they could to make life pleasant for
him while he yet remained on earth.
Flowers, fruits and wines were fairly
showered upon him. On the day of his
execution the cheap coffin of the Jail
was smothered with flowers, some of
which bore the words AT Rest" Gone
to Jesus" and Poor Boy"
The same spirit is shown in the
Breckinridge-Pol case. Women
who would cross the street to avoid
Madeline Pollard would walk miles to
grovel at the feet of her betrayer.
The woman who loved man and
gave into his keeping all that woman
holds dear is, forsooth, an outcast;
the man-old enough to be the father
of his victfm-is a social lion. The
school girl betrayed by the man Of the
world must be sent still farther on the
road to shame. The man through
whose Vaccinations and specious plead
ings she fell, is made demi-god.
1t is such actions by woman that
retard the progress of civilization in
this much-vaunted and boosted nine
teenth century.
Women have it in their power to
purify society. If they would treat the
ibertine and the betrayer of their sex
with the hauteur and excIusiveness
Which they exhibit to the betrayed. an
influence would be exercised against
impurity which could not fail to be
felt. The brand put upon deceived
and fallen woman should be stamped
far more broadly and deeply upon the
deliberate seducer who casts aside his
victim as a degraded thing.
When society shuts its doors against
the polluting and polluted made as rig
idly as against the fallen female, and
the ladies of the land cease to smile
upon and receive the greater sinner,
THEY'VE will be more justice in the world
and probability of greater purity
among men.

The English secretary of the war
department, in his statement recently
in the House of Commons on the army
policy of the British government, said
that it was best to have one army or
ganization for the United Kingdom,
the colonies and India. At home the
government should maintain a force
of two army corps, with total nu-
merical strength of $4,000 men. The
estimates for 1S94-95. he said, were
slS.O6O,9OO or f27S,1OO more than last
year. The increase was due partly to
the better treatment of the men. The
reserve, which was at present 2O,34s
strong, would be increased by 1900
men within the next two years.
