In passing sentence upon Boss"
McKane in Brooklyn, Justice Bartlett
said
The fact that he disobeyed the law Is the
mOie a matter Of moment for the reason
that be is an intelligent man, who exer
oises wide authority and who knew what
the law was This aggravates the
offense. The sentence should not be
too light, lest 1t should not be the
proper punishment; aud, on the other
hand, IL should not be so severe, as to ex
cite sympathy.
That is the true position Of a Judge He
can neither exercise vindictivenesa. nor
exploit sympathy. A judge must be cool
aud just; his heart must not be stirred
by emotions OF any kind He Is almost
the creature Of the law, compelled will
lngly or unwllllDgly, 10 interpret OF
apply the law This seems to be what
Judge Bartlett has done. Those who
think the punishment Of McKane too great
are those who forget the crimes he com
mitted, or those likely to ignore them
Those who think the punishment not 30

Inflicted proper and sufficient punish
ment We think the punishment of
McKane a just and righteous one, not
too light and not too severe. ard that he
ought to be compelled to endure the
sentence of six years in the penltentiary
We believe, more than that, that
similar punishment should be inflicted
upon his friends and partners, Justices
Sutherland and Newton. Like McKane,

kSitator Up TO Capital Hii, Where a
Demonstration Was Made That Al one
Time Looked Serious.
HosroN, Feb. 2l.-The unemployed trou-
bles in this city eliminated ia a demon
stration on the Common which for a time
threatened 70 end in a riot Five thousand
men, hungry. ragged and ugly, crowded
into the statehouse and the adjoining
grounds and vociferously demanded imme-
diate aid in their distress. The governor
addressed the mob from the steps Of the
statehouse and was quietly received and
even applauded, although he made no sat
isfactory answer to their requests.
An attempt was then made by the lead
ers Of the demonstration to get petition
before the Legislature, which was then in
session, but the rules precluded this, and
then things began 70 look serious. The ro-
tunda was packed with crowd of men
waiting TO hear the result Of their leaders
efforts to present their grievances to the
assembled solons when Morrison l. Swift,
an avOwed anarchist and spokesman of the
mob, appeared In one of the balconies and
told them that the legislature had refused
90 accept their petition. They broke into
yells Of dei1sion and Kisses of contempt
HarRngued by an Anarchist.
Swift leaned over the balcony railing and
launched forth into an impassioned TRADE
against the legislators, who, he said, were
too busy creating corporations 10 listen to
the voices of starving men. His voice shook
with emotion as he denounced the treat
ment the men had received, and his omi-
nous threats TO clean out the statehouse
were received with hoarse shouts Of appro-
baton.
The brass buttoned officials and door
keepers seemed paralyzed with fear, and
Governor Greenhalge, who but a few mo-
ments before was mingling with the mob,
wisely retired to the legislative chamber.
The few policemen who had been detailed
to take care Of the crowd were powerless,
and soon the police wagons from the near
er stations were flying through the streets
leading to Beacon hill loaded with blue
couts, and soon there were 100 policemen
on the scene.
They arrived just IN the nick Of time.
Herbert Casson, labor agitator Of local
celebrity, had taken the place Of Swift and
started to augment that gentleman's de-
nunciution of established institutions in
general and the Massachusetts legislature
in particular.

A Dramatic Incident.

While he was speaking the rail against
which he was leaning cracked and threat
ened to give way and precipitate those
upon the balcony into the sea Of upturned
faces below. An officer was quick to ap-
prehend an accident, and placing his hand
upon Casson's shoulder he warned him OF
the danger. Casson stopped speaking, and
the already furious crowd below mistook
the action for an arrest and rent the air
with curses and execrations upon the POI
lice. They swayed back and forth, and it
seemed as if violence was TO be used, but
the speaker quickly assured his followers
Of the real state of affairs, and the excite
ment subsided somewhat. The agitators
then had to be satisfied with a talk with
some individual members, and that quiet
ed them considerably.
Meanwhile the house Of representatives
had remained in session, and upon the ad-
vice Of some of the long headed members
it considered the petition from the mob
10 was decided to appoint a committee OF
seven to meet Representatives Of the uu-
employed to consider ways and means for
their relief Speaker Meyer Of the house

urged TO Attack the LeHisiaturo.
Soon after a special detachment Of police
arrived at the side entrance OF the state
house. They entered and began forcing
the mob slowly toward the big front doors.
Clubs We're drawn, and the disgruntled
crowd gave way.
Then there was an uproar, and many of
the more desperate members urged an at
tack upon the legislature, but the sober
second thought OF some of the more sensi-
BILE ones prevailed, and the crowd slowly
retreated down the broad stone entrance.
Once out Of doors, the police forced them
steadily back until they halted en- masse
on the pavement just outside the large
arched gate the disappointed workmen re-
fused to move further
This stand was undisturbed until the
captains Of the various police divisions
held hurried consultation and decided to
drive them still farther back. The crowd
fell back slowly across Beacon street and
finally halted i'm the Common. No attempt
was made to take another stand, and the
men slowly disbanded.
The incidents preceding the outbreak in
the rotunda were rather ominous. The
crowd assembled on the Common early in
the afternoon to the number Of 900, which
soon swelled to 5000 A couple Of hours
were occupied by a half dozen speakers, all
of them Vocal labor leaders, and then the
crowd adjourned en- masse to the state
house. A committee was appointed to see
Governor Greenhalge and present to him a
/ petition, which in substance, after calling
his attention TO their condition, asked him
70 formulate and put into operation some
plan to alleviate their suffering. They
also asked for state farms and factories,

Mr.. Jacob Greer, it,, Of California, who
is now here on business visit, and who Is
tho son Of the senior member otthe late

GESCER a pleasant call yesterday. He
has been resident Of California for the
last eight pears, and is interested in tho
hardware business at Pasadena, ten
miles from Los Angeles, whore also his
parents and sister reside. Mr.. Greer
is not a California boomer by any
means, although ho does not regret hav-
ing removed there. HO has. however,
seen many people in California who
would like to regain their old homes In

body who is getting along fairly well in

beneficial to many persons, but, as he
says, California 10 not heaven by any
means, aud tho primeval necessity for
toll and drudgery is on man there as
elsewhere on tho footstool.
Mr.. Greer is the brother OF the Rcyy:

resemble his brother very much.
