A PUBLIC DEFENDER.

Mrs. Clara FOltZ, who is quite we'll
known in this city, has prepared bill
for introduction in the New York leg
islature providing for a public defender
in every county in the state. to be
elected by the people in the same man
ner as the district attorneys, and whose
duty it shall be to defend all INDECENT
alleged criminals.
There is no necessity whatever for
such law in any of the states. When
ever there is any occasion for an at
torney to defend any one charged with
crime, and who has no means for pay
ing counsel, the courts always appoint
a member of the bar to conduct his
case. And it is generally we'll con-
Quoted, and zeal put into the defense
that would be wanting generally in an
official defender. Such defender
would be very apt to discharge his
duty in a perfunctory manner, or he
might develop into regular dema-
gogue and become the hero of the
class with which he, of necessity, as
ISOLATED.
Mrs. Foltz's idea may be very philan
thropic and all that, but it is not such
a one as any legislature is very apt
to give any considerable consideration
to. The carrying out of this idea would
cost the state of New York not less
than 100000 a year, if the public de-
tenders were paid but $1,000 a year
apiece, there being sixty counties in the
state. 1t will hardly be carried out.

RAILROAD IN
COME.

Mr.. Robert Porter, the eX-superin-
tendent of the census, estimates that
more than $1,000 600 of income has
been lost by the railroads during the
past five years. The New York Com
mercial Advertiser says it is hard to
give the basic causes for this situation
in few words. In what may be called
its disgust It declares that Populism,
socialism, anarchism, hostile legislation
by inexperienced legislators, misrepre-
sentation, tariff tinkering. loss of con-
fidence at home and abroad-in fact,
everything that the ingenuity of man
could suggest has been done to i'm
peril the railroad interests OF the
United States. There can never be any
real prosperity until the railroads are
treated as business enterprises. They
have too long been the target for every
evil-dispOsed legislator and every Pop
ulist crank who seems to think it his
duty to so restrict them that they are
compelled to practice enforced econo-
mics, to permit their equipment to go
without the necessary repairs and to
discharge honorable employees, until
it is now an established fact that 300
600 men have been laid off, by the
railroads during the past five years,

SENATOR cANNoN's BILL.

Senator Cannon's bill for the calling
of an international monetary confer
ence is attracting considerable atten-
ton from some of the eastern papers.
The Chicago Inter-Ocean of Friday last
devoted its leading article to it.
The Inter-Ocean says that when Mr..
Cannon was elected to the senate he
was Republican in good and regular
standing, but that as a soldier in the
cause of silver he is outside the Repub-
lican line. This is all very true, and no
real soldier fighting for the cause OF
silver can remain inside the Republican
line.
The Inter- Ocean does not favor Sen
ator Cannon's plan. 1t does not ap-
prove of having the time and place for
holding the conference designated by
the bill. But it objects still more to
the proposal to fix the ratio not above
Is to 1 nor below Is to 1. 1t says this
is equivalent to insisting that the in
ternational conference, if held. must
not so much as entertain the idea of
higher ratio than 16 to 1, while it may
go down to Is to /. After stating what
the ratios are in different countries, the
Inter-Ocean says: What does Sen
ator Cannon mean by his proposition?
Does he take that way to queer the
general proposition of an international
conference? Such a conference might
fail to accomplish anything, the same
as its several predecessors, but the real
friends of silver, whether as COM
modify or as money, cannot afford to
obstruct the effort and make them
selves responsible for such failure
What Senator Cannon means by his
proposition other than what is ap
parent on the face of it, we cannot
say. but he appears TO mean business
and nothing else. This matter of
ratio is one of the most commendable
features of the whole proposition; it is
the inculcation in a senate bill of the
very idea that The Herald has advo
Gated right along The New York Eve
ming Post, commenting on the bill,
paid special attention to this matter of
the ratio. In its own peculiar way it
said:
1T was not content with any con-
ference that may be called by this or
any other country, but fatty directed
the president to call one in Washing
ton within 80 days after March 4.
Moreover it did not leave the ratio and
the coming all hanging delightfully."- in
the air. but called explicitly for free
and unlimited coinage at some ratio
ranging between 10 and Is to l. This
straightforward and business-like
proposition Is much to be commended. !
If there is going to be any conference
at all, it should be called on some such I
definite basis. We hope the silver SEN
ators will insist upon knowing whether |
the whole thing is intended as more /
solemn fooling. or as, at last, real in |
tention to do something for silver. If !
it is the latter, the Cannon resolution |
should by all means be adopted, and .
made even more specific and manda-
tory"
If there is any "queering'" of the sill
yer question it would seem to be in
such matters as Senator Wolcott's
mission to Europe and not in Senator
Cannon's bill.

representing an annual loss in wages
alone Of not less than s15O, 1000, 900.
Other and very powerful causes for
the present deplorable condition of the
railways might be assigned, among
them the fact that many of the rail-
roads OF the country have been lex
plotted" by those in control of them for
their own personal benefit instead of
managing them for the benefit of the
stockholders. That railroads have been
looked upon as a sort of legitimate prey
by legislatures and demagogues is true.
The Granger legislation of fifteen and
twenty years ago was but the outcome
of this feeling. But the railroads them
selves have not been free from censure,
and have merited some of the attacks
made upon them. The causes that
have diminished their earnings are the
causes which have depressed business
everywhere.

BOND FOR PRIVATE BANKERS.

A petition has been introduced into
the legislature asking for the enact
ment of a law to protect depositors in
banks from loss. Whether such a law
is practicable, that is to say, to the
extent of protecting depositors from all
loss, may be doubtful, but that it would
be an easy matter to pass a law that
would afford them considerable pro-
lection there is no question.
There is a demand for such a law
in various states, and the demand is
founded in justice and on good bust
ness principles A bill for such a law
has just been introduced into the New
York legislature. 1t relates to New
York City only, and provides:
Any person or persons, corporation,
or association, doing business as
private bankers, shall deposit with the
comptroller of the state, on or before
the first day of February in each and
every year, the sum of $4,000, or, in
lieu thereof, shall execute bond for
that amount with two sufficient
sureties, to be approved by a justice
of the supreme court, such SuretieS to
Justify in the sum of $4,000, and con-
ditioned for the repayment TO any and
all persons when demanded of any and
all moneys deposited with such private
bankers by them.
Any person or persons who violate or
omit to comply with the provisions
shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, and
on conviction shall be punished by a
fine of not less than 500, or by i'm
prisonment for not more than 80 days,
or both.
National banks are surrounded with
many checks and safeguards for the
protection of depositors, and there is
no good reason why private banks
should not be required to give some
safeguard to depositors Private banks
offer no security whatever to their
depositors beyond the character and
ability of the banker 1t is true that
no one is under any obligation to place
his money in their charge for safe
keeping; but when it is so placed, the
question arises whether depositors
should not be afforded some protection
by the law. If the criminal laws
against those bankers who defraud
their customers We're strictly enforced
there would be much less defrauding
of depositors.
The subject of a bond for private
bankers is an important one and
deserving of the consideration of the
legislature.

ART WORK FOR coNvIcTs.

New York state is now wrestling
with the problem-What shall be done
with the idle convicts?
Having listened to the popular cry
that convicts must not engage in any
work that comes in competition with
free labor, the state finds itself con-
fronting a very serious problem; what
the solution Will be no one can tell.
The warden of Sing Sing prison has
hit upon what promises to be a happy
plan. He has decided to give some
two hundred of his charges instruction
in wood carving and free-hand draw
ing For this purpose expert teachers
will be employed. The men are anxious
to begin their new work.
The cultivation of art has always
been deemed a fitting and proper oc-
cupation for the leisured class, and
what class so leisured as convicts
without work? The laws of the state
forbid them to work, as the laws of
society forbid those TO work who have
means and leisure. Are we not told
by a. great American poet that art is
long and time is fieeting?" But fleet
ing as it is, it is less heeting to the con-
Wet than to any other person. This
cultivation of art by convicts is almost
an idealization of their life. To them
it is unnecessary to take heed for to-
day or thought for the morrow; the
state does all that for them. But
when they emerge from their prison
walls to go forth into the world, will
not they become competitors of free
labor? And will not the state have
afforded them an opportunity for art
education that the free laborer has
never had? If the theory that con-
victs should not do any sort of work
that comes in competition with free
labor be correct, then it would seem
that the true policy in dealing with
them would be to so utterly unfit them
for work that they cannot do anything
when they are released
The trouble is that demagoguism has
had altogether too much to say in the
matter Of managing convicts. The
cold facts should be looked in the face
They are enemies of organized society
and their punishment and maintenance
are burden upon the state. Anything
that they can do to make that burden
less upon the taxpayers should be
done; and if they can be made self
sustaining, let them be.

BUCKNER ON "THE COMMON
ENEMY.

General Simon B. Buckner was in
New York the other day, and had
something to say about the rumor that
President-elect Mckinley might give
appointments to some prominent
sound-money Democrats. 1t was his
opinion that Major Mckinley would
not do this. and that he should not
He said the ''sound-money" Democrats
were simply fighting anarchy-trying
to down a common enemy. This com
mon enemy of course, was the Dem
ocratic party as represented by Mr.
Bryan, General Buckner declaring,
1--WE are the Democrats"
He then went on to give his Jews as
to the probable policy of the next ad
ministration. He expressed himself as
follows:
Personally, 1 have the kindliest
feeling for the president-elect, and 1
sincerely hope his administration may
be crowned with success. L am not
in the confidence of the leaders of the
Republican party, and l cannot say
what the party proposes to do; but 1
can say, in a general way, that the
general trend of Republican ideas is
such that 1 fear there can be no great
prosperity in the coming four years.
From what 1 can see. Major Mckinley
has practically abandoned the issue on
which the election was won. 1 can
see no indication of any purpose to
advance the cause Of sound money, and
thereby enhance the stability of bust
ness. The trend of ideas seems to be
in the direction of the so-called prin-
ciples for which the party has for
years contended-high protection and
the various forms of paternalsm which
are part of the Republican scheme. 1t
was this policy of the Republicans that
created Populism, and in its cOntin-
ued advocacy l cannot see anything but
continued disaster
All during the late campaign the
supporters ot General Buckner were
constantly protesting that Mr.. Bryan
was Populist and that the Chicago
platform was nothing but a declara-
ton of the principles of Populism.
Now General Buckner says that the
