fat profit: When we come down to the fine
point the free silver agitation is engi-
neered by men who desire to line their
own pockets at the expense Of tho Ameri-
can people. The Walcotts and Stewards
and other silver mine owners, who have
been so conspicuous in Congress, in rant
ing about the glories Of free silver coin
age, are examples of how far personal
interest is able to rise above patriotism,
with certain class Of people. The al
mighty dollar-when there is a chance OF
bringing into their own pockets-com
pietely cuts off from them all angles OF

Eugene Debs must serve his sentence in
Jail together with his associates in the
directorate of the now dcfunct American
r ailway Union. On Monday the SUI
preme court denied the motion for a writ
of habeas corpus asked on the ground that
man cannot be twice punished for the
same offence and not without trial by ju-
ry. This decision is a very important
one, and it Is very likely that the last
has not been heard of it. It establishes
recognition of very powerful preroga-
tive in the hands of the judiciary, one that
could be used against capitalists with far
reaching effect under the political control
Altgeld for instance On July 2, 1894
U. S. Judges Woods and Grosscup issued
federal writ enjoining the A. r. U.
from interfering with trains carrying
the United States mails. Eight days
later the officials of the A. r. u. were ar
rested and arraigned on this charge.
Judge Grosscup made very vigorous
charge before the jury and an Indictment
followed for conspiracy against United
States laws AS soon as these arrests
were known the labor organizations in
defiance, it was presumed, issued an or
der to quit work. On July 10 the federal
grand jury found indictments for con-
tempt against Debs, Howard and forty
one others, members of the A. r. U. board
of directors. July 20 they were arrested,
refused bail and laid in Jail until Sept. 25,
their trial being twice postponed. The
question raised at this trial was whether
courts shall assume the functions Of in
flicting summary punishment without
trial by jury for acts punishable by ordi-
nary criminal proceedings" At the con-
cluslon the sentence of six months was
imposed and will now be served, notwith-
standing the two months Imprisonment
undergone by Debs and associates during
the pending of their trial. At the conclu-
sion of his first imprisonment Debs had
concluded that he was done with strikes.
When he gets through with this sentence
he may have concluded that in view of
this decision he can gain more by political
than by strike control.

Walter O. Gresham.

De mortuis nil nisi bonum-say nothing
but good of the dead, is an old Latin
motto that has its proper limitations.
When public man passes away it is i'm
possible for Journals that have criticised
their careers to honestly change front.
Post mortem laudation under such cir
cumstances can never constitute tribute
to the departed. Our views upon Walter
@. Gresham have been ventilated in these
columns many times, and they have
changed none since he has passed away
In his private lifc Mr.. Gresham was ire
proachable. He was also brave soldier,
and we have never assaulted him in either
OF these relations. Doubtless he had much
personal magnetism, a pleasing frankness
and unaffectedness of manner, and ready
tact that did much to win men to him.
Certainly he has never been without a
large circle of devoted friends and ad-
mirers.
AS a public man, however, he was a
gigantic failure. This estimate of him
applies chiefly to his service as secretary
Of state, and was generally acquiesced in
by the American people. Doubtless a
knowledge of this fact weighed heavily
upon Mr.. Gresham, always sensitive to
criticism. and may have fastened his end.

Several Of the leading physicians of
New York city in recent interviews ex-
pressed tho opinion that the opium chew
ing habit Is on the increase in this coun-
try, especially in that city. They find
that the habit has already become the
worst which the people of that city In
dulge in. 1t Is secret vice and for this
reason Is sure to have its victim under its
fatal control before help can DO had. They
Furthermore state that in almost every
instance of opium eating in this country
the effect has boen disastrous and des-
tructive of the moral rectitude of the VIC
tim. Indeed one of the physicians ex-
pressed it his opinion that the petty thiev-
ing SO characteristic of the Chinaman and
the Hindoo and their cunning at cheating
and lying are due in no small degree
to the effects of the opium habit upon
their ancestors as well as themselves.
1t would seem that the British commits
sion, which found that the opium habit was
not so very bad in the Orient must have
obtained its ideas from opium eaters
themselves.

1t appears to be the consensus OF opin-
ion that the victory Of Crispi, the Italian
premier, is victory for law and order
and for stability and the welfare of Italy
By this victory at the polls francesca
Crispi has demonstrated that he is one Of
the great political chieftains of the CEN
tury and his power has been interposed
between revolution and the Savoy dynasty
About two years ago Crispi came to the
Office of premier and it was thought that
he was the last resort to save Italy from
financial If not political ruin. The scan
dals connected with the Parliament had
spread abroad the opinion that the gov
eminent was honeycombed with corrup-
ton and under impending financial dis
aster tho aim of those in power was to
steal what they could from the wreckage
Powerful enemies sprang up across the
path of Crispi but despite all the appar-
emily insuperable obstacles Crispi put
down the Sicilian revolution, thwarted
the plots of the socialists, improved the
finances, forced his political enemies into
subsection and now under the striking
motto "With God and the King for the
Fatherland" has won an overwhelming
victory, to which some of his former op-
ponents contributed materially.

As was expected the address of Senator
Sherman at the Republican state con-
yention In Ohio, was an admirable one,
clear cut in expression, solid in sense, I'M
ambiguous and emphatic in cnunciation
of Republican principles and altogether
statesmanlike. Regarding the tariff he
denounced the scheme that Is annually
Increasing the public debt $50, 900, GOO and
crystallized description of this tariff law In
the sentence "all that is good of 1t was
taken from the Mckinley tariff, and the
rest OF it is confessedly hotchpotch. "
He did not in any sense attempt to dodge
the currency issue. He said that under
existing conditions the rational course
would be to change the ratio between sill
ver and gold, adding. however, "but this
can only be effective Us to these two
metals by concert OF action among com
mercinl nations" Senator Sherman s
words on this occasion, the first state Re
publican convention of the year, will dc
much toward clearing the way and
squarely defining the issues.

PLAYS AND PLAYERS.

Ida Glenn, u piquante young actress
who has been off the stage for II year, will
return to it in the autumn.
This has been an off year for the Ameri-
can dramatist. He has done little original
work, and that little has languished.

leading man, is Il son of the famous physi-
clan, DIR. Simon Baruch Of New York.
Theresa Vaughn has recovered from her
starring fever She will appear as Bertha,
Swiss maid, in r. A. Barnet's Excel
sior, Jr.'
A limited number of persons look upon
the stage as an educator. To the larger
portion of the public, however, it is simply
an amusement factor.
Victor Herbert has composed four
waltzcs for THE Wizard of the Nile,' the
comic opera in which La Shelle g. Clark
are to tour Frank Daniels.
Marion Lea has an offer to be featured
next season in support of n prominent star,

Rockland Star: An incident happen
ing upon the deep recently will tend to add
to the superstition existing among fol-
lowers of the sea. A few years ago four
masted barkentine named the Steadfast
was built in Belfast for Baltimore par
ties. She was totally wrecked on the first
voyage, but her small spars, sails, and
rigging were saved. The owners ordered
another vessel built at Belfast upon which
were to be used the material saved from
the Steadfast. The captain protested,
avowing that the vessel would be un-
lucky, but the owners looked upon the
saved material as so much money saved
Three years ago beautiful four-masted
barkentine, named the Josephine, was
launched at Belfast and she was rugged
with the material from the Steadfast
The papers have just announced the total
loss OF the Josephine on the Virginia
coast on her passage home from Rio with
load Of coffee. The captain will now
be more firmly impressed than ever of the

PRACTICE. In August 1901 NC ueooinc iicu
tenant-colonel of the 3Sth Indiana regi-
ment- He was promoted to colonel OF the
SO Indiana in December, and the follow
ing August was made brigadier general
OF volunteers. He commanded the 4th
division of Blair's corps in the lighting
before Atlanta, and received a severe
wound which disabled him for further
service. At the close Of the war he re-
sumed the practice of his profession at
New Albany, Indiana. He was an I'M
successful Republican candidate for Con-
gress in 1865. He was made .. S.
Judge for the district Of Indiana in 1862
In 1880 he was an unsuccessful candidate
for U. S. senator. He resigned his judg
ship in April 1882, to accept the position
of postmaster general in President
Arthur's cabinet, and in July 1854, on
the death of Secretary Folger, was trans
ferred to the treasury portfolio. In
October of that year he was appointed T..
S. judge for the 18th judicial circuit, from
which position he was called, by Presi-
dent Cleveland, to the head of the state
department.
Mr.. Gresham was man of great am
bition. He was for many years a presi-
Dental aspirant. There can be little
doubt but what his lack of political sue
cess greatly embittered his life, and was
the cause OF his descrting the Republican
party in 1892 This feeling of disappoint-
ment and bitterness was, doubtless. great
ly intensified by the pains of dyspepsia,
from which he was for many years,a great
sufferer. Toward Benjamin Harrison, his
successful rival in Indiana politics, he
cherished the greatest animosity. Harri-
son had defeated him before the Indiana
the United States Senate, and again, in
1888, as the Republican candidate for
the presidency. Gresham was never a
broad man in his treatment of political
opponents. His disappointing mt took the
form Of bitter personal hostility to Mr..
Harrison. 1t was this hatred of Harri-
son that led him into the policy of in
fanny in q revengeful attempt to discred-
it the ex-President's Hawaiian policy
with the American people. But Mr..
Gresham soon saw his mistake. His course
in attempting to reinstate the dissolutC
and Dapan IdliuOkalani on her tinsel
throne, was universally condemned. The
treacherous and dastardly methods
adopted to bring about this result, ex-
| cited the contempt not only of the Ameri-
can people, but of the whole civilized
| world. The American love of decency
fortunately foiled the infamous plot 1t
would be indeed fortunate for the memory
OF Walter Q. Gresham, and the Cleveland
| administration, If this most disgraceful
chapter in the annals of American dip
lomacy could be forever blotted out. The
| history of 1t but shows the lengths to
which desire for personal vengeance,
and an obstinate refusal to admit wrong,
| will sometimes carry men.
But the secretary is dead The policy
of infamy cannot be blotted out. 1t will
remain through the years to come the
foulest page in American history. Let
us draw the veil of charity over it, and
think of the life of the departed IN it's
nobler and better aspects.
