To be poor to the point Of deper-
dence on charity. Is u condition OF
distress that calls for sympathy ana
not for censure. provided it has not
resulted from the fault OF the indiNid-
ual so placed; and provided further
that he is not able, by his own Efforts
to relieve himself. Even when
poverty is the result of folly, those who
are able to give relief are not justified
in Withholding it, providing the poor
person cannot help himself; but revel-

NEWSPAPERS AND CRIME.

The Journal did not contend that it is
not true that one-third of the criminals of
the country are under twenty-one years of
age. 1t has so long been the case that no
one who has any knowledge whatever of
criminology would deny that this is
fact. The point wherein the Journal differs
from Rev. DR.. Lasby is in reference to the
causes which have brought about the in
crease of criminals under twenty-one years
of age. Rev. DR.. Lasby attributes it to
the daily press and what is generally called
"yellow-covered literature" The difficulty
lies in the fact that DR.. Lasby makes no
distinction in reference to newspapers. He
practically puts them all in the same class.
This is unfair. AS matter of fact, the
VIGOROUSLY yellow newspapers" of large
circulation are few in number. In every
considerable city there are vicious daily pa
pers, but they have no general circulation
The general character of the mass of the
newspapers which may be regarded as fair
properties is not vicious nor demoralizing
They must give the news of the day. Pa
pers may give more space to what may be
serves Indeed, it would be fair to say that
If the publishers of the newspapers
most read in the country outside of those
known as yellow could have their way
they would have constituency of readers
that would not care for police court revela-
lions or the testimony in murder cases.
One of the best newspaper editors in the
country said few years ago that the day
would come when a murder would be given
only a paragraph. That time has not yet
arrived, but there is reason to believe that
every year the larger patrons of newspa-
pers who take them into their homes more
and more desire less of the details of GRIM
inaI proceedings. Those who really desire a.
reform in this respect should encourage the
clean newspaper and make war upon the
yellow" The difference between the two
is so wide that even the excellent judge
whom DR.. Lasby quotes should have made
the distinction instead of uttering diatribes
against the whole of them, using language
that few reporters have command of.
The Journal must disagree with DIR. Las
by as TO the main causes which I'LL our
reform schools yellow literature may
be responsible for some, but a considerable
portion of those who are sent to reform
schools cannot read The larger part of
them are truants; for the evil character of
many others parents are responsible. All
children of vicious and even thriftless par
ents are natural candidates for the reform
school, and If they fail to be taken in
time by the reform school they are
quite likely to be Migrants or to
come to the state prison. Even
among people OF good impulses failure in

parental authority is responsible for the
making of not a few criminals. 1t is not
the newspapers that those real reformers
fear who ask for the curfew, but the vi
cious association of children upon the
streets Of cities.
The testimony OF the superintendent of
the well-known New York prison to which
DR.. Lasby refers. and upon which he has
based his general statement as to the de-
moralizing influence of the newspaper upon
prison convicts, is not of as great value as
it would have been if he had not been
through a conflict with one of the sensa-
tional papers of New York city. We are
all human, and the superintendent of the
New York reformatory is not an exception
II any one had been prosecuted as he has
been by that New York paper he might
have been led to declare against all news
papers, as he has done, when, as a matter
of fact, his best defenders have been those
editors who have weighed the results of the
investigation and indicated him.
1t is very doubtful if the disgusting de-
tails Of the Luetgert trial, or of the Thorn
trial, which will, unhappily, be taken up
again in New York soon, are such as to
Of the characters are repulsive and all of
the details so horrible that it would seem
they would drive people away from the
commission of crime rather than lead them
toward it.

The question of municipal reform seems
to be a live one in London, as the follow
ing from the cable report OF Lord Sails
bury's address at a great public meeting
On Tuesday night shows:
Turning to home affairs Lord Salisbury
said the government of London was a ques-
ton which must be solved by giving to
other and smaller municipal bodies a large
part of the duties now performed by tha

THE BATTLE SHIP IOWA.
Final Trial Trip of One OF Uncle Sans
Big War Vessels.

NEW YORK, Nov. 1.-THE United States
battle ship Iowa arrived at the Brooklyn
navy yard this afternoon, after concluding
her final trial trip. Before coming up the
upper bay the battle ship anchored for a
short time off Tompkinsville, where the in
spection board went ashore in the ships
steam launch. The report of the board will
be sent by telegraph to Washington, and
it is said that the performance of the Iowa
during the trip was in every way satisfac-
tory and that the board will recommend
that the government finally accept the war
vessel.
AS soon as the Iowa was made fast at the
navy yard Captain Sampson came ashore
and reported to the commandment of the
yard. Captain Sampson said to a reporter:
There is very little to be said about the
Iowa's final trial trip. l believe that the
board of inspectors will report that the yes
sci is in every way satisfactory They will
report by telegraph to Washington. We
sailed south for twenty-four hours, but at
no time during the trip did we resort to

hours the ship was steered east for an hour,

cent. of her maximum speed under natural
draught, which was about 1872 knots. In
her previous trial the engines registered 108
revolutions per minute but this was with

All the guns on board were fired on our way

A NTI-SMOKE LAW INVALID.
ST. Louis Ordinance Nullifed by the
Missouri Supreme Court.

ST. LOUIS, Nov. 17.--In an opinion hand
ed down yesterday by Judge James B.
CAN'T, in the State Supreme Court, in banc,
at Jefferson City. in the case of the city
of st. Louis VS.. Edward Heitzburg Packing
and Provision Company, the smoke orr
dinance of ST. Louis is declared in
valid and unconstitutional. All of the
judges concur in Judge Gantt's opinion. In
his opinion Judge CAN'T says that smoke
per Sc is not a nuisance at common law,
nor has it been SO declared by any statute
of this State The Legislature has defined
what shall constitute nuisance in this
State by Il general enactment in these
words: Every person who shall erect or
maintain any public nuisance to the annoy
ance or injury of any portion of the in
habitants of this State shall be deemed
guilty of a misdemeanor' (Section 1851,
Revised Statutes of Missouri, 1882
Judge CAN'T says: "Now, it was admitted
at the bar OF this court by the learned spe-
cial counsel who argued the case for the
city that the emission of dense black or
thick gray smoke for one or two minutes
constitutes an offense under this ordi-
nance, and yet he admitted that up to this
time no device or means was known or
had been invented whereby such smoke
could under all circumstances be suppressed
or prevented. Now the ordinance itself
would punish every hOusekeeper who kim
died a fire to cook his or her morning
meal or to warm the house Every replen-
fishing of the furnace, whether in the heart
of the business center or upon the remote
western boundary of the city, would SUBJ
ject the owner to punishment. No excep-
ton whatever is made as to time or guam
tity. Where it is considered as it mast be
by this court, that St. Louis has attained
its growth in population and wealth in
large degree from the fact of its proximity
to the great mines of bituminous coal which
enabled it to become a great manufacture
ing city, and that this soft coal is peculiarly
liable to produce this Objectionable dense
smoke, it seems to us that this ordi-
nance. which makes no reasonable allow
ance for the regulation of this smoke, but
essays in advance of any known device for
preventing it to punish all who produce it
to any degree whatever, is wholly unreal
sOnable. Our conclusion is that while 1t is
entirely competent for the city to pass a
reasonable ordinance looking to the sup
preston of smoke where it becomes a nui-
sance to property or health or damaging
to the public at large. this ordinance must
be held void, because it exceeds the power
of the city under its charter to declare and
abate nuisances, and is wholly unreason-
able"
The Heitzburg Packing Company was
smoke ordinance The case was appealed to
the st. Louis Court of Criminal Correction
where the Police Court was reversed and
the defendant company discharged The
city appealed to the Supreme Court with
the result told above.

The general subject of currency and bank
ing reform will be very gingerly handled.
OF that evidence has long been abundant,
and the reasons for it are not hard to see.
If the testimony of the congressman who
have already gathered here may be taken
as indicative of the final action of the body
to which they belong, currency reform has
already been substantially dropped from
their list of serious undertakings. Among
those recently interviewed who take this
view are Senator Plat of Connecticut, Rep
reSentatives Hooker and Quigg of New
York, Stone of Pennsylvania and Hopkins
of Illinois. The excuse ordinarily given for
a Discrimination to take up this subject is
the assertion that the Senate would defeat
suit foreordained it will be better not to at
tempt anything.
With this view the Bryan Democrats
cheerfully agree. They think if the Senate
will frighten away currency reform in this
the Fifty-fifth Congress- they can, by con-
Fifty-siXth, continue to thwart the sound
money programme, and then the next finan-
cial pinch that comes along will be regarded
as a demonstration of the weakness of the
gold standard That such financial Strin-
gency is sooner or later inevitable under our
existing currency system is the opinion of
recent secretaries of the treasury of both
country. If the free silverites can thus pre-
vent the necessary reforms, and so be able
to charge against the gold standard the next
treasury breakdown, like that of 1893, which
comes along, they will have gained an i'm
portant strategical point. To do this all

resentatives. The latter has been made pos
sible by the Platt-Tracy movement in Great

DIR. EVANS'S REQUESTS.
Chicago College of Dentistry Hopes to

He is also quoted as saying that it was his
desire to leave handsome sum for a col

GERMANY AND THE TARIFF.

Germany has no right to threaten retalia-
ton because of the tariffs of other nations.
In her own revenue laws Germany has
thought of the German people only. So
long as there is no discrimination made
against any one in favor of another or the
products of any country are not excluded
on mere pretext. this policy of the govern
ment caring for its own people is the true
ore. Germany has thus proceeded for more
than twenty years, and under it the nation
has become prosperous compared with it's
previous condition. Our complaint against
Germany, if we were making complaint,
would be based upon the ground that our
agricultural products, particularly our
meats have been Disseminated against.
That discrimination exists at the present
time. The German press seemed to forget
this when they rallied against the Dingley
law on the ground that it has made it pos
sible for capital and labor in the United
States to produce merchandise which under
the German law was imported from Ger
many. For knit wooden goods the United
States has for several years been Ger
many's best customer. The German tariff
act was specially designed to stimulate
that German trade. The ad valorem duty.
at best a low duty, which it prescribed,
made it possible for Germany's under
valuation to drive the home producer and
competitor out of the market. The Dingley
law changes all this; its compound, specific
and ad valorem duties COMPEL the importer
to give the home producer a fair chance

The civilized world will approve the ac-
ton of Austria in presenting an ultimatum
to Turkey threatening to lombard Turk
ish port if certain demands of Austria were
not complied with by noon to-day. These
demands included an apology for indigni-
ties put upon an Austrian citizen, together
with the removal of the Governor of the
province where the trouble occurred, and
salute to the Austrian flag. With his usual
policy of braggadocio delay and duplicity,
the Sultan refused to comply with the de-
mand until the last moment, and then
yielded. That is the only way to deal with
the Turkish government. 1t never makes
an atonement for any wrong or recognizes
the justice of any demand until it is put in
the form of an ultimatum backed up with
cannon.
