RENOKE HIS LICENSE

The several temperance societies of this
city should see that the license of Saloon
keeper Hall is revoked. His fiagrant vio-
Iation of the excise law and his exemption
from punishment by Prosecutor Push mark
him as too dangerous a character to en-
trust with the sale of liquor.
Further, it should be the duty of law
abiding liquor men to assist in preve: .ng
Hall from continuing bis speak-easy method
ofseiling liquor, inasnuch as it gives him an
unjust business advantage.
1t is reported that Hall is an old offender
that the police had for a long time been
attempting to bring him 10 Justice Now
that he has been caught, and that the evi-
dence against him is overwhelming. it is
a shame that he should be allowed to go
unpunished. Under the circumstances the
only way TO make him feel the weight of
publis ccnsure is to have his license revoked
1t might also be well to add that while
Prosecutor Pugh has authority to dismiss
such cases, his refusal to prosecute Hall
may some time have to he explained when

BISSELL FOR SUPREME COURT.

1t is to be hoped that Mr.. Bissell will ad-
here to his resolution not to accept an ap-
pointmcnt on the Supreme Bench To succeed
the late Justice Jackson Such a nomina-
tion would be public calamity, and would
furnish additional evidence that President
Cleveland seems determined to turn the
country over to corporate influence. Dur
ing his entire career as Postmaster General
Mr.. Bisscll was in The pay of railroad cor
porations, and it is said that the sum he re-
ceived from that source far exceeded the
modest salary he drew from the govern
ment.
No one desires to question the integrity
of Mr.. Bsscll He is honest according to
the ethics of legal cCde. but it would be
circumstances to render an unprejudiced
decision as United States judge in any
case where the interests of his clients
were involved

MURDER MANIA.

The mental composition of the creature
who is named Holmes furnishes study
for the psychologist and moralist which
fortunately is very rare.
Years ago Mr.. Clemens-better known
by his pen name of Mark Twain-gavc to
the world q remarkably serious study un-
der a veil of humor, entitled "The Carnival
OF Crime in Connecticut" in which he
materalizes his conscience, Quarrels with
it, and kills it, and then proceeds to CON-
init the most outrageous infractions of
law without hesitation and with supreme
enjoyment.
Whether Mark Twain's article is in some
measure responsible for the fearful work
of Holmes. as some suicides have been
directly traceable to Col. Ingersoirs frank
discussion OF the right of men and women
to commit self murder. is one Of the curious
suggestions that occur to any who study
these questions from the standpoint of the
mental analyst.
In all the records OF crime there is hardly
to be found parallel TO the performances
OF this nonstrosity in human form That
he was either born without conscience
or succeeded in killing his conscience and
actually looked upon bis taking of human
life with absolute indifference. is clearly
evident. The whitectapei murders were
IN some measure a counterpart of bis
work. but those murder mysteries are sup
posed TO have been the work u severa.
PERSONS, one having been influenced by
the example of another.
In the case of Holmes the first crime,
with its do6btless unexpected immunity
from discovery. appears to have been all
that was necessary TO induce the brute to
engage in murder for the actual plea sore
he found in 1t. altogether aside from the
question of gain The machinery which
he constructed and employed shows de-
liberation of purpose and gloattng over
possible results which really have no pre-
cedent. While his actions were apparently
shaped by cool and cunning reason, his
mind was morbid, warped and diseased
and constantly beut upon destruction Of
human life

PRESIDENTIAL TRUsTs.

Information given in the news columns
OF the Times this morning that Reed and
Mckinley have pooled tseir issues and. will
manipulate the rext Republican National
Convention that the une or the other shall
be the party nominee is of more than pass-
ing interest.
In these days OF trusts" Combines"
aud ''syndicates, when almost all business
and other interests are indirectly and for
selfish purposes adopting spurious social
istic methods of association, it is rot sur
prising that ambitious men in all parties
should form. o trust to control the Presi-
Dental nominations in their respective
organizations. 1t is becoming quite ap-
parent that Mr.. Cleveland, by virtue of his
numerous and illustrious cuckoos, is de-
termiued to keep within his grasp the nom-
fnation of the candidates of the Democratic
party. In the event of a failure to harmon
ize opinion in insupportofsomeo one ofthcmany
eminent gentlemen who are anxiously
awaiting a stroke of political lightning,
Mr. Cleveland is sad to be quite willing
tn sacrifice his leisure and comfort as a
10urth-time candidate. AT any rate, II ne
conclude that the exigencies OF the Govern
ment do not show clearly that he alone
can save the country, there is little Doubt
that the President has formed a com
bine" for the purpose of naming his sue
cess or in go far as the party nomination is
concerned.
The real and substantial information that
Mr.. Reed and Mr.. Mckinley have agreed to
use every influence and effort to keep
the Republican nomination in their own
control. is not surprising. These gentle
men are practical politicians. To be
sure. they do not have the skin or expert
ence OF Quuy and Gorman, but they have
eaten eagerly OF the crumbs that have

Alma Tameda, In awarding the prizes at
the National Art Training School lately
spoke as follows of the influence on artists
of their daily surroundings: when Whis-

he moved must have had great influence
on his eyes. When 1 found that the black
