4 PROBABLE BLATHERSKI E.

If Herr Ahlwardt was ignored by the
people Of this country as he should be
he would be missing very soon. 1t is
certain that American Hebrews should
pay no attention TO his rawlings. So
far as they are concerned he deserves
only silent contempt in which they
would have the sympathies of the
great mass Of Americans. He is one
Of the kind who come to America for
notoriety and the money that may be
made out of it,. None of them ever
accomplish any good and all do harm,
With all her laws America is the home
Of the free. Despite our numerous
enactments "a mans a man for a that
and a that" America can possibly
learn something from the thinkers and
the learned Of the old world, but not
from its blatherskites and adventures,
their cheap demagogueS and driveling
idiots. There was that idiot Oscar
Wilde, now in British prison for his
nastiness, who came to teach America
true aestheticism. And Stead, the so
cial reformer, who wondered what
would happen if Christ should come to
Chicago, as though Christ was now in
London. And still later the blather-
skite, Hardie, who was wined and din
ed and treated royalty in the name of
toll. Bah! The American masses
know more about what is best for
them than all these notoriety and cash
seekers put together. Along with ALL
wardt we might place Louise Michel,
the anarchist. While her anarchism
may be the kind that teaches universal
brotherhood and such love of the neigh
Dor as would render penal statutes
a dead letter, still we, as a nation, ARE
a long ways from that idealistic life.
Prone as America is to make heroes of
foreign Adventures Ahlwardt should
find no trouble in transferring Germany
all the gold he Will win by denouncing
a class of American citizens who, be-
ing to the manner born, are American
citizens indeed.

OF course the question will arise as TO
whether these tendencies of the times
are for the better or the worse. All
husbands have no such bank accounts
as Banker Higginson and Brewer
Pabst but it is probably n fact that
many husbands once convinced that
their wives could never be happy or
contented with them, would consent to
an equitable division. There is little
doubt but for the mutual love for chill
dren there would be many more such
episodes as the ones cited, occurring
lately. And 1t is in the interest and

FOOL NEW YORK JUDGES

and habits Of the whole country, In

Among other instances Of the vic
iOusness of the center OF literature,
fashion and art in this country Is the

the courts Of New York.
Pre-eminent among recent judicial
wrongdoings Is the case OF Walter
Iangerman, whose conviction was fore

sonable doubts of his guilt Through
out the trial the recorder completely
abandoned the functions Of judge and
acted as 4 prosecutor, he having en-
larged upon every circumstance that
appeared unfavorable 10 the prisoner.

A FUNNY LAW SUIT

Every newspaper has its experiences
with people who claim to have been
slandered. The Eagle within a few
months has been threatened with no
| less than three big libel suits, one of
them for q large amount In neither
case was there any disposition to do
wrong nor the truth colored into
falsehood out of malice. Some Incl
dent tranSpires or some sensation
comes to light in which there is few
hours at most left in which to ascertain
the facts. As found they are published,
as news or in the interest of the pub
lie as may be. Often the editor or
reporter has been misled designedly or
not the writer is responsible. And SO
proprietors are often threatened and
sometimes sued for matter of which
they were wholly innocent and ignor-
ant, this / Sthe unhappy experience
more particularly of the daily paper.
The editor of the weekly has more
time in which to run down" the rumor.
But now comes the incident of a great
monthly magazine being sued for libel
or for damages in a large sum. The
Cosmopolitan magazine is the victim
1t seems that a person who for some
reason had grudge against this ex-
pert made him the text Of an article
upon the method Of Identification by
the ear, giving portraits of him in va
rious costumes, with different meth
DDS of trimming the hair and beard,
all to prove that he could not disguise
the shape of his ear.
The consequence was that the man
was recognized by all the good peo-
pie" who read the magazine, and ac-
cepted by them as one of their craft,
or in kindred avocation.
He claims TO have been damaged TO
the extent of $4,000, but whether he
will recover this or any amount is one
of the most difficult questions ever
submitted TO a court and jury; for
there is nothing said in the text Of the
article TO indicate who the subject Of
the article is, or what he has done.

| sold him a few cents worth OF whiskey
| on Sunday. Governor Morton re-
buked the vindictive magistrate by
promptly pardoning the prisoner, who
had most earnestly protested her inno-
| cence, and whose word was far better
than that of her accuser. But the
latest performance Of Judge Mott was
maiden charged By police officer with
having solicited 2 man on the street.
No witness was produced but the po-
liceman. who did not know what she
had said TO the person whom she ac-
costed. In vain the fearful girl as
serted her innocence and explained
that she was inquiring the way 10 her
home. In vain her relatives and her
friends offered to testify TO her excel
lent character, and thus TO convince
the court that 4 grave mistake had been
made. The stern magistrate was in
exorable.
When the accused said that she did
not agree with her step-mother, and
was inquiring the way TO her aunt's
when arrested. the judge broke out
in a rage. That will do said he.
Il have heard enough about step-moth-
erS. Step-mothers are more kind than
natural mothers" Admitting the pro-
found wisdom of this dictum as TO the
kindness of stepmothers in general. the
girls simple explanation was not suf-
ficient provocation for an outburst Of
judicial anger. 1t is evident that this
Dogberry, whether from hardness,
passion or stupidity is incapable of
comprehendlng the terrible consequence
es OF arbitrarily branding an innocent
maiden as strumpet plying her voca-
ton In the streets. In his judicial
theory it is better that ninety and nine
innocent women should be covered
with infamy and shame than that
one guilty woman should escape
Another case on the list is that of a
judge in New York who last week
sternly admonished a husband who was
had been arrested for drunkenness
that he had a mission to perform This
mission consisted in sending the wife
to reformatory institution, in spite
Of her tears and repentance. The hus-
band stified his feelings and Obeyed
the magistrate. Two judges in New
York last week sentenced an agent of
a champagne wine house, who had
been prosecuted by Anthony Com
stock. to a fine Of $500 for exhibiting
an alleged indecent picture. The pic
ture was a nude woman issuing from a
champagne bottle. The third judge
dissented, declaring that the picture
was an exquisite work Of art, and no
more indecent to the healthy mind
than many another representation OF
the nude. 1t must be said that so
wide a difference betOkens much con-
fusion in the summary administration
of justice in New York.
