It. However, he never relinquished his
purpose to find the forger. 1t was through
bis influence that an employe Of the war
department was put on the scent in New
York city where Drummond believed
Howgate had taken up his abode. The
fugitive was known to be fond OF old
books and all book sales were haunted ~
the detective, who finally spotted his man.
He had been keeping an old book store
In that city for years. He took his arrest
laughingly saying that he knew when he
was beat. This was In september 1894.
On the fret trial Howgate was acquitted
of the counts brought against him. Now

from five to twenty years in prison will

of the pleasure he may have derived from
his illgotten gains and the fun he has had

The supreme court may not be able to
long escape passing upon the South Caro-
lima registration law. Chief Justice
Fuller considered that the case as pre-
sented did not come within the court S
jurisdiction. But the party which such
o decision favors is not content to
let we'll enough alone. The Tillman-
ties have construed the decision to give
them all the license they want In sup
pressing the colored vote OF south
Carolina and in wreaking vengeance upon
the conservative white element. They
openly avow that they propose to have
white supremacy at any cost and they
do not propose to allow the Buffers and
tho Hamptons and other leaders of the
Bourbon aristocracy into the deal. Mr.
Tillman pompously asserts, in an inter
view, that he proposes to discipline these
men for not antagonizing Judge Goff's
attitude on the registration law Between
these two factions the colored man Is
likely to acquire an influence which would
be impossible of attainment under decent
conditions and fair play. Outrages are
likely to follow and condition of affairs
arise hat will bring the Ubiquitous law
squarely before the courts.

Miles of Solid Ice.

The front of the glacier is about three
miles wide, but the sheer middle berg
producing portion that stretches across the
inlet from side to side, like huge green
and blue barrier, is only about two miles
wide, and it's height above the water is
from $50 to 300 feet But soundings made
by Captain Carroll show that 720 feet of
the wall is below the surface, while "a third
unmeasured portion is buried beneath the
moraine detritus that Is constantly dcpos-
tied at the foot of it. Therefore were the
water and rocky detritus cleared away a
sheer precipice of ice would be presented
nearly two miles long and more than a
thousand feet high. Seen from distance,
as you come up the ford, it seems COM
paratively regular in form, but it is far
otherwise-bold, Jagged capes jut forward
into the ford, alternating with deep re-
entering angles and sharp, craggy hollows
with plain bastions, while the top is rough
ened with innumerable spires and pyra-
mids and sharp, hacked blades leaning and
topping, or cutting straight into the sky.

Ex- Senator Ingalls, has a way Of saying

Ex-senator ingalls, has a way OF saying
things that make them remembered and
himself az we'll. He Is, though, recognized
as a man of marked intelligence and any
thing mediocre excites his keenest satire.
His review Of the Presidents character
last week was as truly characteristic OF
Ingalls, as it characterized Mr. Cleveland.
He declared that Cleveland had reached
the loftiest positions with less ability
than any man whom history records.

Jogging lawyer from Buffalo, and has now
one Of the largest private fortunes In the
country. He has had no visible means OF

How do you associate that with the
shrinking honesty which has characterized

country with what he calls the sound
money idea.''

The united press dispatch relative to
the conviction Of Capt Henry W. How
gate on two counts. forgery and falsiflca-
tion of accounts. stated that the verdict
was a surprise as acquittal was expected.
In view of Howgate's career it is difficult
to understand why acquittal should be ex-
pected in his case, unless because he had
evaded justice SO long and successfully.
The career Of this man was that Of an adj
venturer of uncommon shrewdness and
intelligence and Discrimination to earn an
honest living. He first won some fame
as an Arctic explorer and then secured
the position of discussing officer of the
signal service. In 1881 he was arrested
for embczzling over $4,000 by false
vouchers for telegraph service. During
his trial he was taken to his home by a
deputy marshal to get some papers. He
left the officer to step into the bath room
to wash his hands and the officer never
saw him again. Then further examina
tion OF his accounts revealed tho fact that
his shortage was $3.50, 900. He was tracked
through the West to the Pacific slope and
to Central America, to New Orleans and
was not overtaken. With him was a
comedy young woman, q former employs

Heretofore meat that has been con-

GENIUS. WORK AND DISEASE.
Successful Generals Who Studied Theil
Battles In Advance.


Genius, say some, is but n capacity fol
hard work. This is not whole truth
There must be work in accordance with
law. The miner who digs for gold on the
seashore will never find 1t, though he dig
ever so laboriously, but if he study gold
and the geologic strata in which it lives
he has begun to put himself into harmony
with law. Mere work, unless properly di
rected is like riding a hobby horse-there
is energy and motion, but no progress.

There is a theory held by scientists that
genius comes from disease. Disease, in
sanity, depravity and other failings often
do occur rs consequents due to ovcrconcen
tration or misuse of powers, but they dc
not create genius any more than the vul

Not an Ideal World.

"This isn't an ideal world remarked
Russell Sage the other day in an inter
view. We agree with Russell. Had it
been he would have voluntarily given
Mr.. Laidlaw, the poor clerk who received
the contents of the dynamite bomb intend.
ed for Russell, fifty or a hundred thousand
dollars, have given it in quiet and unos,
tentatious manner and regarded 1t rath,
er as a debt than as gift. Whether Mr..
Sage used IIaidlaw to protect himself, and
those who have followed the case have nc
doubt he did, the fact remains that Mr..
Laidlaw's person did protect Sage to the
formers serious injury. Such payment
from Sage would have been no more than
for the ordinary man to give fifty cents to
a newsboy, who had done him favor.
No, this isn't an ideal world and will not
be- so long as such bloodsuckers as Sage
burden it. He adds, We've got to take
things just as we find them." This can
be no hardship to Russell who has &C
quired an immense fortune and consider
able notoriety from doing just that sort Of
thing This testimony on his part might
be pertinent in evidence before jury sit
ting upon the Laidlaw case. 1t is pref
ty plain that Russell took Laidlaw as he
found him and used him for bulwark
against impending danger. No doubt
Russell from force of habit would find ii
hard to do otherwise but he ought to have
decency enough to mako partial amends
when it could SO easily be done.
Mr.. Sage is of the world as he finds it
so far as it's heartlessness, greed and cold
blooded selfishness are concerned but
when it comes to the generous impulses,
the sympathetic instincts, love of fair
play ETC., that help to make this old world
place in which most people are willing
to live, Mr.. Sage is no fit representative
and has no part therein.
There are several features connected
with this case that ought not to be over
looked. Because Mr.. Sage has influence
and wealth at his command he has been
able to extend this suit for four years.
In the first trial the plaintiff was non
suited In the second the verdict was for
s25, 600. In the third the jury disagreed.
In this last one the verdict was for $40, 000.
Still Mr.. Sage is sanguine that he will
nt hox to 70 will ordao RI
carry the case up, prolong it and finally
wear out the plaintiff with delay, knowing
that he is poor man and that his lawyer,
Mr.. Choate, is fighting the case more
from desire to see justice done than
from any expectation of pecuniary benefit.
Much has been said against the misuse of
the jury but this case illustrates that the
trouble with our courts of justice is not
so much with the jury system as with the
conditions that admit Of undue prolonga-
ton and the opportunities afforded to
those able to hire the best Of legal talent
for defeating the ends of justice by quib-
bles, technicalities, etc., which are almost
as discouraging to the poor person desir-
ing to seek justice as would be corruption
of judge and jury by direct payment OF
money. We're Dickens alive today he
would find this condition of affairs as
much in need of exposure in his mimi
table way as he did chancery in England
a half century ago
