The Noyes-Dana outrage.

The Noyes attack on Charles A. Dana
was renewed yesterday in the form Of q
hearing before United States Commits
sioner Shields, who decided that on their
face the proceedings were regular and
Mr.. Dana would have to go to Washing
ton to stand trial. This ruling, it is under
stood. is to be reviewed through habeas
corpus proceedings.
There is a certain analogy between this
case and the Standard Oil indictments in
Texas. Can a citizen be indicted in a
place where he was not for an act which
he did not commit there? And can he
then be dragged across the country to
answer, to stand trial. to the injury OF
his fortunes and the destruction of his
case. II he can. let us abolish the State
Legislatures at once. State integrity has
no longer any meaning.
AS the Noyes' prosecution stands. 1t Is
a case in which the penalty comes be-
fore the trial. The only formidable thing
about 1t is the necessity of going to
washington to answer. II the courts IN

The Alliance Episode.

The statement of Capt. Crossman. of
this city. IN reference to the Alliance
affair, are at last fully confirmed by the
statement of the Captain of the Spanish
gunboat. himself The statement of the
Spaniard that he mistook our ensign for
the British Tag does not get him out of
the difficulty. for he had nc more right
to fire upon an English han an Ameri-
can ship. and # the quarrel were trans
ferred from Uncle Sam to John Bull.
Spain would probably find even a sterner
antagonist to encounter.
The Captain of the Condo de Venadito
lianca, but across her bows Capt. Cross
man is equally positive that the shots
were directed at the hull of his ship.
Perhaps the discrepancy nay be due to
the eccentric:ty of the Castillian artillery
practice. The saiiormen who were capa-
Bile of mistaking the Stars and Stripes
for the Red Ensign were quite capable
of training a gun to shoot round a
corner. In international law. anyway,
there is little difference between a shot
fired at a vessel ard across her bows. SO
long as it does not hit her.
The incident has once more served to
bring out the strength of the National
administration. Always clean and wise
in its policy. firm and earnest IN uphold
ing the honor of the flag. it can be as
aggressive as the most ardent lingo.
when the occasion requires, just as it
can resist all temptation to crafty small
ambitions at the expense of weaker peo-
pie. The attitude of Secretary Gresham
and the President has been all the peo-
pie could desire. and this episode Of Mr..
Cieveland's term will be used by future
historians in connection with the Ha-
waiian affair to show whatever the emer-
ency. his policy was always honest and
manly cautious yet c~ourageou resolute
and just.

The cr~anaAJnry Assault on Byrnes

The GrandAJury Assault on Byrues.
Probably there is not one man on the
extraordinary-the very extraordinary
Grand Jury, in New York. who is not
richer than Supt. Thomas Byrnes. and
1t is certain thai not one of them has
school-boy production. their presentment
against the Police Department, they
make his fortune one of the causes OF
Generalization.
Now 1t is a nice question for considera-
ton whether the public service neces-
sarily condemns a man to lifelong pow
erty. If so, we may as well make up our
minds to see it filed up with fools. for
who else will be fool enough to stay in
it? 1t might occur to some people that
the possession of Independent means
was the best guarantee of honesty in a
high official; but this Grand Jury evident
ly thinks the poor devil is the man who
is subject to no temptation in this world.
Mr.. Byrnes is reproached with taking
advantage through life of the friendships
he made in the lines of his daily calling.
Is there any member of the presen.
Grand Jury who has failed to do likewise.
How do men get on in the world but by
taking advantage of the opportunities
which they acquire by their intelligence
and energetic conduct and personally
attractive aualit.es? There is hardly g
man who has risen from poverty to
wealth who has not done SO by attract
ing the favor of some influential person.
Why should It be e~ondemnable in a
police official to make the same use Of
his opportunities that everyone else does.
But the extraordinary Grand Jury con
siders that the requirement of a fortune
by the Superintendent by honest means
is an incentive to other officers to garner
-iussatinpate gains The logic of this is too
exquisite to be marred by dissection. We
abandon It to the good sense of the pub
