Senator German, it is be regretted,
has carried Maryland. He has not
been of much use to the Democratic
party in recent years, and should
have been repudiated, but the oppo-
sition 10 him was half-hsarted, and a
majority of the party could not be
aroused to trample all German meth
dds under their feet.

"The end of the Harvey-Horr

relief to the public. Neither of the
champions represent any of the pc.

figures were mainly a weary rehash.'

Moral Progress.
From the st. Louis Republic

From the st. Louis Republie.]
Census returns just completed con-
firm the estimates Of growth in the
church membership of America much
exceeding the rate of growth in pop
ulation.
What have the pressimists to say?
Unless they are infdels as we'll as
pressimists they can say nothing. A
larger proportion of church member
ship tells to any but an infdel and a
scoffer an unsuitable story of prog
ress in morality.
Even most infdels concede that
religion does no harm, if it does no
good, and an infdel who is at all en-
lightened comedies that every Chris,
tan church exercises a beneficial
moral influence over some people. It
is admitted on all sides that church
members are, in outward demeanor
at least, we'll behaved. They could
not remain within the membership
if they were not. So we have an i'm
mense gain in obedience to the moral
laws of society which will not be
questioned; and society can we'll
leave the growth of living faith to the
consciences of individuals and the
laborers of Gospel ministers, render
ing it's tribute of gratitude to the
churches as institutions conducting
to the development of respect for
wholesome regulations.
Men and women are better than
ever. American men and women, as
an average population, are incompar-
ably better than any other people. 1t
may be said that the Improvement is
due to the higher degree of comfort
and greater ease of living diffused
through our population; that the in
crease of church membership is an
effect as much as cause. Let men
debate that obscurity, if they feel
like it. The census returns from the
churches constitute q magnificent
fact which is absolute testimony to a
magnificent condition. They tell de-
cisively that the whole social order
in America is better, cleaner, purer
and happier than anything ever
known before.
Mulhall, the English statistician
who has just put into figures the
astonishing industrial power of the
American people, could not determine
his contention Of our superiority to
any other nation in material strength
more conclusively than these church
statistics prove our moral superiority
Perhaps the two kinds Of superiority
go inseparably together. Perhaps
we could not possess superiority il
economic force without possessing
superiority in the moral force which
supplies will and ambition. Surely
it is chosen people of whom science
says that in both material and mora
rates of progress they surpass any
previous examples in the experience
Of the world.

DISTINGUISHED VISITOR
H. E. Huntington Of the Southern
Pacific In This City
The Magnate Is Out on q Little Jaunt
for Recreation - About Muir's
Promotion

The private car. Sacramento. belonging
to II. E. Huntington arrived in this city
yesterday afternoon bearing its owner.
the assistant to the president of the South
ern Pacific company. on board.
The car was visited by q Herald repre-
sentative shortly after its arrival ard was
cordially greeted oy Mr.. Huntington. He
was sitting in the cool compartment In
the after end of the car that serves the
purpose OF an Office and had just dismiss
ed visitor when the reporter appeared
upon the scene. ''The object OF my trip"
said he. is mainly one OF pleasure. I
like to ride over the road and it is
pleasure to me to revisit Los Angeles"
J. A. Muir, the superintendent of the
Southern California division. was present
at the interview and had evidently beon
conversing with him upon business mat
tiers. The subject of Mr.. Muir's promo
ton to the position held by the late J. N.
Towne was broached and while not
affirmed was certainly not denied by Mr..
Huntington. "At present things are
moving along just as if Mr.. Towne had
taken six months vacation. The mat.
ur before the board as yet. This was not
so indefinite as it may sound and the in
ference drawn by the reporter from that
and several subsequent remarks was that
Superintendent Muir will soon handle the
reins of manag .rship in the stead OF the
late A. n. Towne.
Several minutes were passed in general
conversation and then the question OF in
creaslpg or decreasing local rates was
mentioned. Mr.. Huntington stated that
as Yet no such matter had come to his
notice and would not unless referred to
him by the local administration.
He will r. main here for perhaps one or
two days and then return to the San
Francisco office OF the company.

AT Barstow the train was met by Detec-
tive Goodman. who came in with Mr..
BradIsh and his charge.
CarrazzI was seen in his cell by Her
aid reporter, and in his broken lingo at
tempted to clear himself of having killed
kenner. Carrazzi claimed that ne had
been working for his brother-in-law. Ca
passo, and had taken the wagon to Ken
ner's shop to have it mended. When he
went after it again. kenner refused to
let it be drawn from the shop unless he
was paid for having repaired 1t some
months before. Carrazzi claims he told
Capassa of this and the latter went to the
shop. Capasso got in to a row with Ken
ner, who finally hit him with hammer.
Carrazzi and the two grappled. Ca'razzi
says he did not wish to be arrested. SO he
jumped out and ran. In the scuffie Car
razzi claims that X ,nner was STABBED by
either Capasso or some one in the crowd,
but at all events he, Carrazzl, did not in
flict the fatal wound.
He will be arraianed tomorrow.

Analysis of Carrazzi

On returning to the city this evening 1
! received a request to visit the city Jail
for the purposes of applying the sciences
that estimate human character to the
murderer whose unwilling return from
the east now calls forth renewed public
interest. Murderer CarrazzI is about 35
years of age and small of stature. He
bears temporarily subdued, yet ferocious
look, on his face. His large black eyes are
over hung with heavy, lowering brows.
His forehead is low, his top head in the
front portion is very lacking. No exper-
fenced character reader could fail to see
in his personality, harsh, cruel, yet
cowardly and revengeful spirit.
His brain is very massive in the lower
and animal regions. He pas a coarse and
brutal back head. The parts that should
be large. to give a desirable character.
are very deficient. The faculties of
| amativeness, com bativeness, selfesteem
and firmness are excessively large, while
conscience. benevolence. agreeab"ness
and ideality are very lacking, giving
quarrelsome, obstinate. morose and un-
Sympathetic nature. devoid of pleasant
ness and higher instincts; having no in
clination to any form OF ethical uplifting.
Such natures have no morality except
self-assumpsion; no standard OF right ex-
cept revenge; no courage besides DOM
ineering cruelty.
sympa by with smaller development of
acquisitiveness. but this man has no
kindly instincts, nor moral obligations;
hence bis lack of financial talent becomes
weakness in the form of improvident self
service. He mas good workman capabill-
ties, ana is therefore capable Of earning,
but not of accumulating.
He has active emotions; but as his
character is unhumani tartan, he will not
enlist them as warm and earnest factors
for the betterment of others. He would
use the fervor of spontaneity in malicious
lines. He would manifest a fierce and
unbridleG venom Of spite and overween-
ing cruelty-a severity born of cowardice.
Let it oe understood that there is n"
true courage apart from moral force;
therefore the man has the phases OF brav-
cry seen in the wolf-merciless to the
meek, cowardly and sneaking in the
presence of real danger. Such natures
have no obligations toward humanity.
They are small and pennrious, while in.
compunctions and being endowed too
strongly with the love OF self and victory
over others. as we'll as possessing weaker
intellect and almost no wish for higher
personal worth. There is no prospect
that such being will prove other than
leech upon the rights of Others.
Such characters as this are useful Only
where the iron ann of the law can stand
guard and direct them in such lines of
common manual toll as can be done by
mere flesh and bones-who have no inGli-
nation to run with brains and "fellow
feeling'' the efforts than can cone from
their poorly balanced Characters. Such
a free people. The doors Of our land in
the freedom Of our golden fields of oppor-
tunity should ever be denied them.
