This Is the most sensible thing that has been
said by any Democrat on the Sunday question
for years past. 1t Is the strict truth that the
observance and enforcement Of law Is Infinitely
more important to every good citizen, whether
German or not German, than aEy other matter
whatever. Any man. with more or less incon-
vcnicncc, can get along without his public en-

Although the Belgian Government has declined
% accept the offer Of King Leopold 10 take im-
mediate possession OF the Congo Free state and
transform It without further delay into Belgian
colony yet II has voted the S5,000.o0O needed for
the construction OF the Congo railroad. and for
the repayment OF the sll00,0O0 loaned to the
Free state by al Antwerp syndicate. which had
accepted as security n lien upon certain choice
pieces OF territory In voting this money the
Belgian Government has stipulated that the Free
state should enter into no financial engagement
Of any kind whatsoever without the consent OF
the home Government until the year 1900. when
Belgium will have to decide definitely whether
the Congo will be taken up as a state colony. or
be abandoned to It's fate Possibly by that time
It's prospects will bear more promising aspect
than at present. 1t is easy to understand that
the sensible and matter-of-fact burghers or
Flanders should hesitate as matters stand now
before deciding to saddle their prosperous and
thriving country with a dependency that has
hitherto been a source OF frightful expense to
King Leopold. and that IL now nsolvent

The latest returns from the English elections
can bring no comfort for the friends OF the Lib
eral cause. In Yesterdays pollings the Unonists
gained 13 seats and the Liberals only A. Two Of
the specially interesting incidents Of the day
were the defeat Of the labor agitator, j. Kerr
Hardie and the election Of II. NJ. Stanley, the
African explorer, who has at length succeeded
in satisfying his wfes ambition. and will repre-
sent the North Division of Lambeth as a
Unionst.
1t is circumstance calculated to set not only
turfmen but persons In no way interested in
horse races to thinking, that at the sale of Gideon
& Days stable yesterday two-year0ld colt,
with a record. should have fetched the highest
price ever paid for such horse In either this
country or England. Mr. Belmont. president Of
the Jockey Club, being the buyer, it might be
argued that this was sign that the turf is not
In a state Of decadencc in the United States; and
perhaps such a conclusion would not be far
wrong. provided Mr.. Bellnont's example should
provoke emulation In his purchase of Hastings
for $4,000 he has certainly manifested an ambi-
ton to live up to the position which he holds,
and to give dignity to the sport Of which he is
ex-ofacio the head.
As the world runs. there will doubtless be
many expressions Of surprise when the news is
read this morning that the jury in the Court Of
General Sessions yesterday found Maria Barberi
guilty Of murder In the first degree In cases
like this the many units that make I'D the public
are not inclined, as q rule, to think They prefer
to feel; and as sentiment plays so large a part
in murder cases, II was q natural conclusion that
the jurymen would bring In a verdict Of mot
guilty." or find the woman guilty Of q crime OF
lesser degree. That she was sorely pressed will
not I've questioned; but 1t Is serious question TO
what extent personal sympathy shall be per-
mitted to stand In the way Of justice 1t de-
ponds largely upon the intellectual and moral
constitution Of the jury. With all the cIrcum-
stances which make up murder in the first de-
gree practically admitted, can jury fail to con.
Wet without violation Of Its oath and its duty TO
the public? May pity In an individual case be
permitted to work to the extent of stultiHca.
