IN ,ABUSE OF POWER.

There is an evident inclination on the
to protest at the methods employed by
Col. Asa Bird Gardiner in procuring
the arrest of Roland B. Molineux for
the murder of Mrs Catherine Adams.
His behavior is described as extraor-
binary. Lawyers are reported as saying
that it is the first recorded instance of
a district attorney going before a cor
oners jury and inploring that a YER
dict be found against any one man, In
other particulars, Col. Gardeners con-
duct was irregular One need not be
concerned perhaps about his bullying
tone, exasperating as it was; but his
gratuitous and wanton defamation of
Mrs. Molineux's character was without
justification or warrant of any kind
Neither can there be any excuse for the
misstatement of evidence. In several
instances, according to the Tribune's
report, Coroner Hart corrected Col,
Gardeners mistakes or misrepresenta-
tons, when his turn came to address
the jury.
Furthermore, it should be remarked.
Col. Gardiner suppressed testimony. He
refused to allow questions to be asked
by others, and both young Molineux's
father and counsel were threatened
with arrest FOR attempting to exercise
the privilege which had been promised
by the coroner. More than this. Col.
Gardiner refused to call certain Wit
nesses who would certainly have con-
tradicted those who had testified a he
desired to have them. Conspicuous in
this class is Mr., Carvalho, the hand
writing expert, who for eighteen years
has been connected with the police de-
partment or the district attorneys
office, but who several days ago de-
olared, and has since repeated his con-
viction that Molineux did not write the
address on the letters or on the wrap-
per. He now says he will so testify if
the opportunity is given, and others an
pear to be equally willing.
Some of the experts who have been
called at the inquest and have testified
in the interest of the district attorney
are not so free from suspicion as to in
spire confidence. Itmight be added. that
the conduct of the district attorneys
office has itself been somewhat pecu-
liar. Possibly Molineux may be found
guilty, but if legal proceedings are TO
be conducted after Col. Gardeners
model, there would seem to be good
sense in the assertion that no mans
| character and liberty are safe.

Ludwig Highlander, and has had a long

of Napoleon, and gives Mr. Wilson a
chance to utilize his much-prided Ma
poleonic resemblance, for he personates
a mountebank who is mistaken by SOL

THE STREET RAILWAYS.

According to the railroad commission
ers, 22S,94S,9O7 more passengers vare
carried by the street railways of the
state, last year, than by the steam rail
roads. The total number Of passengers
was $50, 100000, which is an increase of
%, 2000 900 over the returns of tha nre-
ceding year. These are tremendous fig
ures in themselves, and give some idea
of the rapid growth Of the street rail
way service. 1t is a point Of Soma eiq-
nificance, however, that traffic Of the
street railways is not developing as fast
as the mileage. In the past six wears
for instance, the mileage has doublad
while the number of passengers has in
creased only 70 per cent. The temnta
ton to extension is great, and exnert-
ence shows that a trolley line Is ono of
the most alluring forms of speculation
that can be held out by promoters +o
any community in which they NAV
choose to operate. Yet the returns ara
not always equal to the CANCELLATIONS
and at the present rate Of extension a.
seems clear that the average profits per
mile Of all roads must be impaired for
some time to come. OF the general ad-
vantages of the increased facilities of
travel, nothing need be said here. #
is interesting to note that of the 1920
miles Of street railway in the state. all
but seven and a half miles are run bv

Trial Revision Bill
Passes.
POINT FOR DREYFUS
Proceedings Will Now Be
Open to the Public.

Paris. Feb. 2S.-The Senate today con-
tinued the discussion of the trial revi-
sion bill which was attacked and de-
Tended on the old lines.
The minister of justice, NJ. Selret,
appealed earnestly for the passage of
the measure. advancing as an induce
ment that the proceedings before the
entire court of cessation would be pub
lie and conducted on the same lines as
ordinary trials.
He added that he had not from the
outset believed 1T possible TO quash the
conviction of Dreyfus without a re-
trial.
Premier Dupuy said he knew his duty
and that was why he had sustained
the bill. which was adopted in the
chamber by the republican majority,
and that alone proved the great gov
eminent was not Influenced by certain
groups and leagues. He doubted his
opponents We're equally free from re-
proach on this ground. (Uproar.) He
had not hardened to any suggestion
about the army, whose loyalty he was
glad to realiirm. The bill, the pre-
lmier further pointed out, did not in the
least diminish the safeguards of the
accused The government wished the
whole evidence to be known to every
Douy, ana, therefore, 1t would be print
ed in its entirety. He did not know
what the final verdict would be; but
the speaker ardenty wished to make
It such as would be respected by every
body who was not fool or irreconcil-
able.
The premier declared that the gov
eminent wished to make the passage of
the bill a question of confidence.
NJ. valdez Rousseau bitterly ar
raigned the government for introduce
ing so inoorherrent a measure.
A general debate followed after
which motion to pass to a discussion
Of the clauses of the bill was adopted
by 1856 votes against 1875.
The senate then adjourned.

Production of silver continues with
out abatement, despite the low prices
that have ruled the market for three
years, and also despite the sorrowful
prediction of the free coinage advocates
Of the last presidential campaign, The
fact that very few mines have been
closed is proof that the industry is still
profitable, even though there has been
a large increase in the amount of silver
produced as a by-product Of gold cop
per and lead mines. The fluctuations
in the price of silver in the past year
have not been great. In fact the aver
age price for the past two years in the
London market is only tribe more
than II pence, as compared with about
A pence, ten years ago. The fact is,
that while there is less demand for sill
Yer as money, a vastly greater quantity
is employed in the arts than formerly,
and no less an authority than the En-
cheering and Mining Journal asserts
that silver mining would be profitable,
even at lower prices than now obtain.
The industrial history of the last three
years has furnished contradiction and
REPUTATION for about all the favorite
theories of the silverites. Their mines
are not closed and they must be max
ing more than living.

United States The Pacific affords by
all odds the most promising field for the
development of the American merchant
marine, since no other nation has tax
en- possession of it, and our broad ex-
panse of coast line gives us an advan-
tage in commerce at the start. The
increase in the size Of ocean steam
ships is a matter that will have to be
considered very seriously when plans
for the Nicaragua canal are made. The
statement that no provision has been
made for vessels of more than $1,000
tons displacement suggests the question
of a revision. The largest Of our new
war ships viii have a displacement of
1850 tons, and naval vessels range
smaller than merchant ships.

Apparently Aguinaldo has got to the
end of his rope. In view of the CEN
sorship of dispatches and the seeming
contradictions caused by the delay of
messages, one cannot be very certain
of the actual conditions at Manila, but
if the insurgent forces have begun to
break up in the manner described the
complete dissolution of the opposition
is likely to follow speedily. Aguinaldo
may escape or surrender uncondition-
ally, as our government demands. but
in either case. the backbone Of the in
surrection will be broken, and it is not
unreasonable to expect that thereafter
we shall meet with relatively little diff
ilculty in extending and maintaining
our authority. This does not mean
that there will be no disorder to onlell
and no need Of an American army in
Luzon, but it does mean the extinction
of organized revolt and the virtual SUBJ
mission Of all factions to American
rule. American sovereignty will then
be as firmly established in the islands
as SPANS was after three centuries
and half of occupation.

The efforts Of the regular republicans
to defeat Addicks by nominating Levi
c. Bird, the late Thomas F. Bayards
brother-in-law, for United States SEN
ator from Delaware, is not at all hope
full. The legislature is to adjourn in
about two weeks, and the chances are
that the state will be unrepresented in
the next national Senate. The sugges-
ton that Senator George Gray be re-
elected by the republicans has some
thing to commend it, This democratic
member Of the Paris commission has
been staunch supporter Of the Nc
Kinley administration and Addicks is
hardly knee-high to him.

its favor: 1t will force the next con-

be much better than now. With the
automatic reduction of me army to

1t appears that the United States
government is going to press Italy for
the extradition Of Di Blast, the Sici-
liam who killed Boston police sergeant
and fed to Palermo, where he was ar
rested. This case is Of especial i'm
portance to New England, for it
should not be allowed to become an
established fact that murderers can be
assured Of immunity by fleeing to Italy.
The issue is of sufficient consequence to
suggest that Di Blast be tried in Pa
lermo. if extradition cannot be secured,
but, as Attorney General Knowlton
seems to think, this plan is impractic-
able.
