Lenity,

On the 31st OF August last, a woman
named JULIA MoGREw was arrested upon
a charge Of assault in having attempted to
shoot and kill one GEORGE b. MOORE, a
dealer in real estate at 26 East Forty.second
street in this city.
This woman has been released from
custody by one of the City Magistrates,
upon the payment of a fine Of FIVE dol.
lars. The penalty, furthermore, was not
imposed for the assault, but for the offence
OF carrying concealed weapons. Nor was
It paid by the offender herself. Her friends
In the courtroom collected the required
amount from the persons present and
promptly turned 1t over to the clerk. The
prisoner walked forth, free as air, although
within n fortnight she had lone her best to
kill a fellow being.
This was not an edifying spectacle. How
Is II explained
The excuse offered for abandoning the
prosecution for assault Is that a policeman
who had been sent to look for Mr.. MOORE
him Hence no complainant was present
when the woman was a~rraigned. and for
that reason the Magistrate discharged her.
But suppose she had killed the man whom
abe tried to shoot. He would have been
buried long since, and tho police officer
would have searched for him in vain as a
complainant. Yet would the authorities In
that event have allowed the murderess to
depart upon paying a fine Of Ave dollarsI
The release Of a person who has attempted
to commit felonious homicide Is not justi.
fed simply by the fact thai the would-b
victim Is willing to let his assailant go.
The public have an interest in the matter,
and that interest demands the prompt and
severe punishment of such offenders.
Magisterial lenity toward criminals of
this stamp is almost equivalent to official
misconduct.

by its Prcsident's futile political greed into

BY tn President's futile political greed into
the fiercest political campaign In the his
tory Of New York, and it cannot come out
Of that terrible ordeal without scars that
will long disflgure the institution in the
eyes Of the public. It's halls dedicated to
scholarly repose will be torn with violent
political discord, and Its whole history under
the Low administration since 1890 will be
laid bare for sharp and savage criticism;
the competence Of it's corps OF instruction,
its business management, the methods,
tone, and character Of it's educational sys.
tenn as transformed by him will become
campaign material. The angry resentment
provoked by his disturbing canvass will
extend to the university fostering his bane-
full candidacy. For the first time in Amer
lean history a college will be dragged neck
and heels into a political campaign Of say
age ferocity.
Out Of this turmoil how will Mr.. Low
comet He will be n defeated candidate,
despised and execrated by everybody, even
by those who put him up; and he will have
brought lasting reproach on the university
and outraged the great body of its students
and the multitude Of Columbia alumni oc-
SupyihB piaSCS vi prominence dhu ihAuohSo
in the professional and business life of the
Greater New York.
Suppose, IN the other hand, he pursues
the course made obligatory on him In order
to fulfil his early pledges and TO justify
the sincerity of his declarations of a single
ambition to serve the intereste Of good gov
eminent only. Instead of being execrated
as the sole obstacle to the unity requisite
to that end, he will be crowned with the
public honor as a man who held duty
high above personal ambition.
The decision of the question by Mr.. Low,
whether it shall be honorable or dishonor-
able to him, will determine the reputation
he is to have henceforward In New York.
and 1t is therefore Of crucial Importance to
him personally. II he is to remain obsti-
nately as a ~disunifying and disorganiEing
candidate, the possible injury to the
cause of good government will be re-
duced to an inconsiderable measure before
the close of the campaign, and it will con.
sist almost wholly in the mischievous d.
version of public attention caused by the
hustling and rough-and-tumble canvass he
will have to make. His side show may be
ridiculous. but the interests involved in the
campaign will be too momentous to make
such tritling otherwise than untoward. In
such a campaign the public are always
quick to discern where the real seat Of con.
test is, and the struggle between the Re
publican party and Tammany and Organism
will speedily absorb all serious public at
tention and interest. AS a man who
pledged himself not to enter into the
canvass except as "a unifyipg force" yet
plunged into it in a mad attempt to become
a fatally disunifying force, SETH Low
would be both a laughing stock and an OBJ
ject of contempt in the eyes of the people.

diplomatists. The old families were
averse to enter into the diplomatic
service, and consequently recourse had
to be made to men Of talent. These
found q title useful in foreign courts,
and contrived to get 1t In one way or
another. Several French charges DAT
flares, and even ambassadors, got their
semblance of nobility from Rome. some
acquired their titles from other foreign
governments. The operation was, at times,
rendered awkward by the too obviously
plebeian form of the name, but, with q lit
tie cleverness and the help Of the Chancel-
lor's office, the difficulty could be got
over. II the name began with de, which
Is the particle indicative Of nobility,
It was an easy matter, the only thing
needful being the separation of the mi.
tial syllable from the rest Of the name. For
instance, NJ. DELAWARE became NJ. DE LA.
MARE; NJ. DELEsTRADE was transformed
into NJ. DE LEsTRADE, and NJ. DERvILI.EY
would sign himself D'ERvILLEY. The
operation became more troublesome when
the name was a very commonplace one,
such as DuRAND, REGNAULT, or DUPONT.
In that case the name of a town or q politi-
cal division would be added, and the gen.
tleman would call himself DUPONT DE
LEURE, or DE NEMouRs; REGNAULT DE
S~AINT-JEAN D'ANGELY, &c. When no name
of q town or village was available, the
would.be nobleman would apply for per-
mission to add his mothers maiden name
to his own especially II 1t had an aristo-
cratic sound.
Summing up the purport Of the data col.
lected by Count DE CALoNNE, we are able to
form q fair idea of French titled society as II
exists to-day. 1t seems that not more han
q tenth part of it consists of old families
that have survived the revolutions; these,
indeed. live generally in retirement, far
from the busy, noisy world. Nearly all
their names can be found in the list
Of the Agricultural Society of France.
At least three-tenths of French society
belongs to what is called the con-
traband noblesse, while another tenth
is connected with the higher lib
eral professions, with literature and SCI
ence, constituting the different classes Of
the Institute, and holding the higher pro-
fessorships. The remaining half Of society
in the conventional sense consists partly Of
politicians, especially those who have held
office, and partly Of great financiers, u large
number Of whom are of foreign origin. 1t
will be observed that Count DE CALoNNB
does not deny to any of these sections
the claim to figure in what is known as
society. On the contrary. he disavows the
exclusive pretensions attributed to the
Fa,tbourg Saint Germdin by certain Pari.
sian novelists, whose ideas upon the sub.
ject are evolved out of their own inner con.
seriousness.

The decision to send to the mouth Of the
Yukon a detachment Of twenty-five men OF
the First Infantry, with a suitable number
of officers, comes somewhat as a surprise,
after the postponement Of the establish
ment of a regular post near Circle, in the
interior. But the weight justly attached
to the advice Of Capt. =. II. RAY, who is
familiar with Alaska, and, indeed, Is now
there for the purpose Of fixing upon a site
for a military post in the gold region,
settled the new policy.
Capt. RAY, while at st. Michael on his
way up the Yukon, observed there q mass
of provisions and other supplies for miners,
without suitable guard, and reflected that
the theft or destruction of these stores and
others which will be accumulated might
mean terrible suffering ON the upper Yukon
and perhaps the loss of many lives. 1t did
not take long for the Cabinet to approve of
Capt. RAYS suggestion to establish n guard
there, especially since there had been many
reasons for founding a permanent post in
the gold region itself this year.
Thus, after the lapse Of so many years
since our infantry was withdrawn from
Alaska. we shall have q garrison there
again. or the wisdom of this step there
can be no question, since not only will
there be a nucleus of Government author.
ity at st. Michael and a security for the
property there, but a source of aid in the
case Of disorder or distress in the mining
region itself.
Very likely, with the reopening Of navi-
cation on the Yukon in the spring, a new
post near Circle will be established and the
one at st. Michael may no longer be neces.
sary. Yet it is possible that both may be
maintained, at least until St. Michael be-
comes able to take care of itself.

The Republican Address.

The condemnation of the Citizens Union
conspiracy in the address Of the Republican
State Committee Is expressed with vigor.
GUS earnestnes5,
1t is true and it is just. The Citizens
Union movement was treachcrous In its
conception, and false and mischievous in
the ideas impelling it.
No Republican loyal to his party and to
sound government and to a stable social sys-
tenn can remain in that hostile association
without becoming a partner in its treach-
cry and an abettor of the crime against the
Greater New York it has set out to &c
complish.
The Republican address also is ar in
spiration to all the foes of Organism in its
clear and distinct reaffirmation Of the st.
Louis platform and of the issues on which
the Mckinley campaign Of 1896 was won.

1t seems to be a hopeless task to restrain
the diversions of back. wounding calumny. How
often have We smitten the fable which asserts
that the Hon. WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN takes
pay for his unsol1sh services to free silver and
cnslaved manhood. How often have We in
sisted that he works for the good that he can do
and not for $500 D or 81 500 a speech. The fable
will not die. A despatch to tho Cincinnati
Commercial Tribune from Pennington, Mo-.
says that a programme of horse and BIZ
cycle races and Mr.. Y was arranged
for tho fair of the San Francisco County Agri-
cultural Association. and that Mr.. BRYAN was
TO receive $500 for a speech of two hours"
AT the rate OF $3.50 an hour Mr.. BRYAN can
work only twenty hours n year. or his earnings
will exceed the s., 900 which he believes to be
all that a man can honestly earn in a year.
Now. as he desires to talk, which IL his way Of
adding to tho wealth Of the country, at least
two hours every working day, it is clear that he
did not consent TO receive $500 for his speech at
Pennington Thursday. Probably he gave $500
for the privilege of speaking, and considers
that $500 well spent.

The New Trio OF Torpedo Boats.

The arrangements made for the three 30
knot torpedo boats which were authorized
by the last Congress, and for which the
contracts have been awarded, promise an
interesting variety Of types.
The HARLAN s. HoLLINGswoRrH boat,
the largest Of the three, will have a length
OF 231 & feet over all, An extreme breadth
of % feet, and a maximum draught OF ia
feet when weighted for trial at $40 tons
displacement. while her load displacement
Is about one-ffth greater. A noticeable
feature Of this boat is her high freeboard
forward of IL feet. She is the biggest tor.
pedo boat we have ever built. Our next
largest, building at San Francisco, is 2lO
feet on the load water line, by ooh in ex-
treme breadth and . feet in mean draught,
displacing 273 tons.
The boat building by WOLFF s ZwIcKER
ofOregon is smaller, and Of quite a different
shape, being much shorter and yet broader
and of deeper draught when loaded. She
is 1877 feet over all. with an extreme breadth
of not equite 25La feet and n maximum
draught Of Sig feet when fully loaded, in
which last case she will displace q tons.
Her trial displacement, however, is nearly
ohe'thiAo icSS. IlcT DuiNucIS ARE now en-
gagged on a pair of 22la.knot torpedo boats.
The boat Of the Gas Engine and Power
Company is to be 2O6a. feet long over all,
with an extreme breadth Of l9 feet and a
maximum draught of s feet. Her trial dis.
placement will be about 235 tons and her
load displacement 285 tons. She is the
smallest boat Of the three, and noticeably
narrow for her length, but has a freeboard
forward of 10 feet.
All three boats are to make thirty knots
ut least, and 1t will be interesting to note
how that main feature of the speed Is pro-
duced in boats of different designs and
with different motive machinery. The
prices, however. do not greatly differ. being
$236,oOo, $2l4,5o0, and $2lO,OOO re-
spectively. These arc not high, in view of
the size, the speed, and other requirements,
the craft being ~torpedo-boat destroyers of
advanced types.
Two out of the three are constructed BY
firms that have never before built torpedo
boats for the navy. This fact shows how
wide a source of reliance we now have for
such work. The HERREsHoFFs of Bristol,
the Iowa Iron Works of Dubuque, the
Columbia Iron Works of Baltimore, the
MoRANs of Seattle, the Bath Iron
Works, WOLFF & ZwICKER OF Port
land, the Union Iron Works of San
Francisco, HILLMAN Of Philadelphia,
HARLAN & HoLLINGswoRTu OF Whining
ton and the Gas Engine and Power Com.
pany of New York have built or are build
ing torpedo boats for the Government, and
other builders have competed in offers who
could unQuestionably supply excellent
boats. If Congress, at It's coming session,
should call, not for another trio, but for O
score of boats, there would be plenty of
competitors for all.
