Morbid Sentimentality.

Does 1t ever occur to the reader that
morbid sentimentality is alarmingly on
the increase In this country? That the
tendency to wreathe vice In q halo of
martyrdom seems to be becoming more
popular daily? A few years ago the in
dividual whose hands were stained with
the blood of..nnocence; the cold blood
assassin or the man of ungovernable
passions, was considered fortunate in
getting fair trial before an unbiased
jury. And when the. verdict was rem
dered little effort was made to thwart
the ends of justice through the medium
of pardon boards or legal technicali-
ties When the jurymen pronounced
the verdict: Guilty OF murder in the
first degree" the prisoner at the bar
was pretty certain Of meeting the pun
iishment provided by law. How is It
today? The blood Of the victim of the
red-handed murderer Is scarcely cold
before hosts Of mawkish men and wO-
men appear ready to invest the mur-
derer with all the romance that writ
ers of heated imaginations throw about
the hero Of dime novel. The more
causeless and atrocious the crime COM
mitted, the greater the admiration OF
the maudlin sentlmetalists for the
cut-throat. When, after months and
sometimes years Of vexatious delay, the
murderer is finally brought to Justice
la L.. =
consign the assassin to the gallows at
once-why! the case has only begun.
Arguments for new trials; applications
to the pardon boards; petitions to the
high magistrates are kept up until the
murderer 10 liable to die Of old age

before the execution takes place, II it
ever does take place.
Observe the case OF Durant, the Cali
fornia flend, who is now on trial for
one Of the most atrocious murders COM
mitted since the days of Jack the Rip
per-" The chain of circumstantial evil
dence has been wound about this cruel
wretch In manner that can leave no
doubt of his guilt of the murder and
mutilation of two young girls. His side
of the case is utterly without a straw
to prove his innocence. Yet he Is the
recipient of the usual number OF bou-
Quets from silly creatures who are a
disgrace to womanhood. and, 1t is said.
contributions of money have been
pouring in from all sides to defray the
expenses Of his trial.
In our own county we have also
startling Illustrations of the effect of
maudlin sentiment in defeating the
ends of Justice. From the long list
of red-handed murderers who have es-
s'PSu th' SeioN . III N'e''
ty to the instances of the present, where
attorneys and others are moving the
earth almost in their efforts to cheat
the hangman. the effect of this morbid
tendency to admire or pity the cut
throat Is apparent. 1t hampers justice
and renders life insecure in localities
like this. 1t is well known that among
a certain element in this vicinity the
belief exists that no murderer will ever
be hung In Lackawanna county. This
belief Is strengthened by the action Of
people who are ready to make a hero
or a martyr of every brute who gets
behind the bars. II Is the duty of all
good citizens to discourage this senti-
ment whenever opportunity offers; and
to insist that the laws of the land are
enforced regardless of the reputation
of this or that attorney. If the melo-
dramatic clamor for clemency upon the
part of these morbid admirers of crimi-
nal monstrosty could be silenced for
time, it is believed that 1t would have
a wholesome effect upon public morals
generally.

An international Nuisance.

| We do not see how we can improve
upon the following pithy and pointed
expression of opinion which we notice
In the Chicago Tlmes-Herald. That eX-
cellent journal puts the whole Cuban

words by saying that "when a citizen
| Injuries his neighbors by permitting a
nuisance ON his premises municipal au-
thority may and frequently does in
| tervene to suppress it. When any state
tolerates within it's borders a nuisance
offensive or injurious to neighboring
state the neighboring state may employ
the methods pointed out by law to COM
pei the neighbor to put an end to the
| injury or the offsense. When SOW
ereign government so conducts its busi-
ness of governing as to create and
governments. other governments,
singly or in cooperation, may take
| what steps the laws of nations ap-
prove for abatement of an international
nuisance.
Spain. I'm the language of law, Is n
nuisance. Decade after decade 1t
has maintained a nuisance in a
highway of peaceful commerce. De-
cade after decade 1t has promised
to abate the nuisance and has
broken the promise. Decade after de-
cade American citizens resident in
Cuba have been injured in their per-
sons and property. and there has been
no redress except by the circultous
route of Madrid. Appeal to that tri-
bunal has been attended with pro-
longed avoidance of conclusions. De-
cade after decade the coasts of the
United States have been infested with
filpbusters watching a chance to vio-
late our neutrality laws out of just AMI
mostly against a cruel and distant
power depressing a brave people en-
titled to human rights If not to repre-
sentative institutions.
Decade after decade the ships Of
citizens or subjects of other countries
have been harassed by Spanish cruisers
near Cuban shores, although innocent
of fault against the laws of nations.
The nations concerned have right in
international equity to abate Spanish
misrule in Cuba because that misrule
constitutes an International nuisance.

archy decline to cooperate with us in

lmperilIed by a Foolish Friend.

According to Senator Pettigrew, of
South Dakota. the votes Of the dele
gates from Minnesota. the Dakotas.
Montana, oregon, Washington and pos
sibly Wisconsin will be cast In the next
Republican national convention for
| Senator Cushman X. Davis, Of Mime
sofa, for president. Mr.. Davis, he de-
clares, sis man of great ability, hon.
est, plainspoken and possesses states
manlike qualities of the highest order.
He would make a president who would
be neither hypocrite nor a fraud, as
| our last two presidents have been. He
would not use the veto power to over
ride the will of the majority. and his
friends and the people would always
be sure of his working in their inter-
est. The senator from Minnesota has
never been temporizer non an migrate.
He Is absolutely fearless on all ques-
tions, as his course in regard to the
Chicago railway riots proved, and he
has never sacrificed a principle to gain
an end"
If Senator Pettigrew wishes to make
1t impossible for Senator Davis, who,
from all accounts, is a deserving man,
to reach to a higher position than that
he now occupies, he will continue to
couple Mr.. Davis candidacy with as
PERSONS on the character of ex-Presi-
dent Harrison, thus arousing the antag-
onism of that large element in the Re-
publican party which. despite the dis
appointed bosses, believes in General
Harrison's honesty, sincerity and devo-
tion to high ideals Of public duty. The
trouble with Pettigrew is that he is
afflicted with a personal grudge, and
lacks the manhood to conceal It at
times when Its ostentatious display is
both ill-bred and inopportune.

serious consideration by those to whom
the protection of the lives Of our citizens

protection Of life and limb: and the man
found with such In his possession should
be considered, on general principles, as a
malefactor and law-breaker In inten-
