In Jersey City, some twenty years ago. a po-
liceman. named Smith, was murdered in his
bed. His head was dashed all to pieces with
an ak. evidently at one blow. A great deal
of blood had been shed. His wife and a
young fellow, who lived in the same boarding
house Cher paramount, were tried for the MUIR
der and convicted. The evidence against them
was not much; and an application for a new
trial was made. Then it transpired that to
get one in New Jersey was an expensive OPP
GRAFTON. They had no money. The newspa-
pers set up a cry about the iniquty Of SELL
ing justice in a capital case. Subscriptions
were raised for the prisoners. Emma Abbott
sang for them. Eventually, they got their
new trial, and were acquitted. Now, who
would believe that the detectives had never
once thought Of following the trail Of the
bloody ak, which must have been carried all
through the house; and finding out what had
become of it2 No one probably, who had not
frequently observed what stuff detectives are
made OF, and why. But to one who had, it
must seem perfectly characteristic Smart
detectives exist only In most wretched and
mischievous novels. The actual training of
Messrs. Nip and Tuck cultivates nothing but
guessing at random and perjury. The most
famous sleuths of real life, as Vidocq and
Jonathan Wild, were nothing but hard swear
ers. The Jersey City wiseacres were perfectly
content with their few circumstances of sus-
picion against these persons because they
knew all the panic which was calling on
them wanted was victim. Reporters are paid
to find out the truth. They traced the MUIR
derer, Chastine Cox, in another notorious New
York case, while the officers of justice @
were holding the murdered woman's hus-
band upon utterly frivolous grounds of sus-
picion. If the public would learn that it Is
safer without detectives than with-that
crime which the papers cannot trace nobody
can't would be free from the cost and the
evils Of DOgberryism. Till it becomes so
wise, 1t must even endure to be arrested,
sweat-boxed and sworn against, at the dis
erection of the Dogberries. 1t encourages their
violations of law. 1t keeps them to be what
they are. &C. L. James.

Here, There, Everywhere.

There is a growing sentiment in the South
and West for what is known as popular
primaries. Georgia and South Carolina have
tested the system and found it satisfactory
and Alabama Is about to enter on a trial
of it. In several Western states the ques-
ton is being agltated and perhaps may
be adopted in the near future. Under this
system political conventions for the nominal
ton of candidates are practically done away
with. Any man may become a candidate
for any office, by paying q small fee and
taking out candidates papers. This permits
his name to be printed on the official primary
ballots. All persons entitled to vote at a.
general election are entitled to vote at the
primaries and thus the person nominated Is
to all intents and purposes elected, for the
subsequent election is really nothing more
than ratification. In some respects the sys-
tenn is excellent as it prevents a few men
from controlling and directing nominations in
convention. On the other hand, 1t would put
the control of nominations into the hands
of the party in power, thus giving it a great
er chance to perpetuate itself.-Phladelphi

A Royal Trio.

Queens, not kings, have the center
OF the royal stage just now, and what
conglomerate drama of pathOs, COM
edy and tragedy they are executing!
Christina mourning over SPANS mis-
fortunes and struggling to keep her
boy on a lettering throne; Wilhelmina,
the girl queen Of Holland, wrapping
the purple about her, amid the joyous
shouts Of her people, and the empress
Of Austria stricken down by the hand
Of an assassin.
There is surely something comic in
the bOundless enthusiasm Of the Dutch
over Wilhelmina's accession to power
Old and young, prince and peasant,
pronounce upon the profound impor-
lance of the event, and yet what do
they expect this pure-minded, simple
hearted girl to do for them? Why
should the sturdy Hollanders, who
won their liberty from the bigoted
Philip by blood and iron, bow them
selves double now before a girl of
eighteen? But yet, after we have had
our laugh, we must see the deeper rea-
son in their reverence. Wilhelmina,
the child Of good intentions, proper
education and domestic habits, is all
that the Dutch need-in a nominal
sovereign. They are fairly sure that
their queen will not bring disgrace
upon the country's fair name, nor at
tempt to disturb their hard-earned lib
critics, and they may we'll rejoice.
But Christina, too, is a good woman,
kindly disposed and patriotic, and yet
her sovereignty is a story Of pathos.
Like the queen of Holland, she has
done nothing, and should have an
equal need Of praise; but the turbulent
spirit Of her mobiles and the tumult of
political parties called for sterner quail
tiles than these negative virtues.
And Elizabeth, but few hours ago
empress of Austria, adds but another
name to the list of Hapsburg TRACE
dies. High-spirited, defiant and deter
mined, counting criticism in public and
dispensing openhanded charity in Sc
cret, it is not hard to understand why
she should have temporarily lost her
mind in the quick succession of family
calamities, or why she should herself
fall a victim to anarchistic fanaticism.
