The bookmakers and their hackers and
associates are now demanding a speedy
trial OF the cases against those who, in
spite of warning, endeavored to operate a
betting-ring at Ivy City last winter The
anxious ones will undoubtedly be accom-
modated. The defendants would have been
tried long ago but for the fact that enc of
their counsel was engaged in the Brec<in-
ridge case 1t must not. however, be
imagined that the bookmakers are suffer-
ing from a spasm of virtue, that they offer
themselves up to seek punishment for their
onenses; they hope for victory over the
statute and over clean public sentiment
But suppose the statute should be trium-
plant, what then? The bookmakers who
are indicted for violating the acts of 1883
and 1891 might be imprisoned for five years
and three months and fined 500, while the
man for whom they acted as cats-paws
would, in the event Of conviction, be liable
to one years Imprisonment and a fine Of
$500. The bookmaking element processes to
believe that one of the courts-probably the
Court OF Appeals-will not permit the in
dicted ones to suffer long, but 1t is difficult
TO regard as solid the premises on which
the sports base their optimistic conclu-
Bions.

Organized labor has, to a considerable ex-
tent. declared its sympathy with the crank
Coxey. who is now on his way, accompanied
by multitude Of supporters, to shout his
petition for fiat money into the ear of Con-
gress. But unless Mr.. Coxey changes his
method Of control. he must surely lose his
friends in the Knights of Labor. Yester-
day morning there was trouble in the Army
of the Commonweal. Marshal Carl Browne
and the Unknown" alias LOUIS Smith,
alias z. p. Pizzaro. contended for command
In the absence Of the real leader. Tempo
rarily the Unknown" was victorious, but
as soon as Coxey put In an appearance he
issued an ukase ejectipg the prophet from
the army and comforting the honor Of sec
ond place in the command on Browne.
From the beginning it has been Coxey's
boast that the army was run on a mutual
rights" plan, and supposing that Coxey
meant just what he had so often said the
army appointed committee of five to wait
on the boss crank and tell him that their
preference was for Smith; whereupon Mr..
Coxey refused to have any dealings with the
men as a committee. but said he would talk
to them as individuals. Had this been
done by an employer of labor, there would
have been a great cutlery against such tyr
amy, but as it was done by Mr.. Coxey the
act will probably not be criticised.

On Saturday there came to an end the
celebrated case of Pollard VS.. Breckinridge,
which has occupied Judge B-adley's court
ever since the Sth of March. No case of
modern times in this country has attracted
such wide attention as that which prac-
tically ended with a verdict for the PLAINTIFF
Perhaps the only modern parallel of this
trial in point of public interest was the
famous Beecher trial. The great increase
of the facilities for transmitting and print
ing news since the days of the Beecner trial
has been illustrated in the reports printed
IN the newspapers all over this land, and in
other continents as well. of every proceed
ing ard of the testimony in the present
trial The general public in every corner of
the land has been promptly and fully in
formed Of all that has occurred in Judge
Bradley's court room. The great promi-
nence given to the case by the distinguished
position Of the defendant in public life
clothed 1t with an interest which no ordinary
scandal could have had. and the newspapers
responded to the general public desire to
know all that was placed before the fury
for, as counsel on both sides have stated
impressively, the public was an important
party in the suit. No matter concerns the
people more deeply than the morals of their
public men, and 1t has not been wholly a
prurient curiosity that has excited the great
public interest During the month or more
that the trial has been in progress, so much
testimony has been offered and so many
matters brought up that it was not at all
surprising that the people generally for a
while lost sight OF the main issue in the
case, which was whether a promise of mar
rage had been made by the defendant to
the plaintiff That question was answered
In the affirmative on Saturday by twelve
citizens who have given the testimony their
closest consideration. The announcement
that the case is closed will undoubtedly be
welcomed by the reading public with a sigh
OF relief. for whatever the interest in 1t,
every right-minded person surely believes
by this time that the public has had enough
OF it

With women entering every branch of
human endeavor and striving shoulder to
shoulder with men more and more as the
twentieth century approaches. a discussion
that has recently been started in the pages
of The Monist, a quarterly devoted to psy-
Geological questions, upon the topic THE
Exemption of Women From Labor" has
much Of the interest of a post-mortem ex-
animation. The participants in this de-
bate are NJ. G. Ferrero, who started the
ball rolling in January. and Prof. Lester F.
Ward Of this city, who replies in the cur
rent Issue of the magazine. Though be-
lated. the debate is instructive and enter
tanning. The arguments advanced by NJ.
Ferrero are based upon chivalrous motives
while Prof Ward, with the instinct of the
true scientist becomes intensely and point
edly practical, and claims that. whatever
might be the ideal state of womanhood the
TACT, supported by statistics, is that at least
- per cent Of the manageable women of
America are unmarried. and are therefore
without. the natural protection and support
that VI. Ferrero presumes when he argues
that every adult female in society Is pro-
Vlded with husband, both able and willing
10 supply all her needs. With the aid Of
some census figures Prof Ward picks this
beautiful and ingenious ideal to pieces, and
shows that many. many women are forced
TO labor In the fields Of production. and
goes on TO prove that 1t is good for the
world that they do SO. Perhaps the most
interesting portion of the debate is that
which touches upon the matter Of beauty.
n Fsrrero claims that by exemption from

work women are enhanced in beauty and
grace. Prof. Ward takes UP the cudgel here
also. He seems to REFER answers the
professor, ''to mere physical beauty, and to
ignore that higher beauty which beams
from the intelligent eye, and makes one
quite forget that 1t may be set in a plain
face. While 1t cannot be denied, as he
points out, that ease and freedom from care
produce grace and symmetry and conserve
beauty and grace, there will nevertheless
always be plain women, and unless these
POSSESS something besides their looks to
them their chances of securing
partners in life will be small" He goes on
to show that the approach Of age but adds
to the beauty Of the intellectual face, while
It robs the merely pretty woman Of her
charms. THE female child of nature is a
wax doll. pretty to play with for a time and
then put aside. The enlightened woman be-
comes the equal and companion of man. of
whose society he can never tire" Thus the
battle RACES, Prof. Ward seeming to get the
better Of his opponent on all sides, while he
Is comforted. no doubt. by the assurance
that women are not only not exempt from
labor. but are actually sought for in al
most every branch of production. The i'm
provement in machinery. he adds. will add
stin further to the sphere Of the usefulness
of women, and increase their chances Of
happiness. for. he argues, that woman is
happiest who Is congenially employed to
her own advantage or improvement. 1t Ii

last begun to analyze the causes and effects
of beauty. Prof Ward should now be i'm

A very large proportion Of the jewellers
IN the United States and a great many
men and women who live beyond the bounds
OF this republic keep green the memory OF
the event which is inseparably connected
with the 10th day of April; for on that
day the negroes enslaved in the District
OF Columbia were relieved of their shackles
by Presidential proclamation. That was
the first material movement toward general
emancipation, and wherever known-wheth-
er In foreign lands among those who
hoped to be benehciaries Of a similar, but
broader and equally forceful announce
ment-it created genuine sensation and
was applauded heartily by every human
being who was opposed to the horrible doc
trine Of property rights in human flesh.
Since the negro of the District of Column
bia was declared free only one generation
has passed away, but the strides made
toward civilization and financial indepen-
fence would be creditable to a people that
had enjoyed the pleasures OF liberty Tor
y hundred years. History does not record
n more rapid march from a condition of
complete subordination to one that must
command respect and admiration than that
made by the negro race IN the past thirty
years. From being the chattels Of others.
many have become possessed Of great
wealth., nunQreOS OF tnOuSdnQS nave dC-
nuired at least an average education, while
more than a few occupy positions Of emil
hence in the fields of science, religion, edu-
ration. sociology and political economy. 1t
Is unfortunately true that an uncomfortably
large number OF the generation just ar
irving at the age when they should be
most useful are vicious in their tenden-
cies. but as the efforts of the faithful
workers in their midst continue there
must be speedy improvement Elevating
environment and the force of example will
do their work: slowly Ii may be. but surely.
There Is a disposition among some. who
prior to 1858 were in bondage, to discour-
age even rational celebration of this an
niversary. The tendency Is unfortunate,
for while every well-balanced American
desires cessation Of the hostilities that
apparently closed at Appomattox, the or
binary instincts Of common gratitude
should move every American citizen of
African descent to remember-publicly II
he is so inclined-that day when he or his
progenitors were lifted from darkness into
light.
