Government by Criminals.

Mr.. Charles jerome Bonaparte hit the
very centre of our political troubles in an
address before the Yale Law School, when
he said:
''To my mind the greatest, indeed the
one great obstacle to reform in our crimi-
nal laws is that so many persons who
ought to be and often have been in prison
are not only out of prison, but actively, if
not conspicuously, engaged in the govern
ment of the country
An evening contemporary does not like
plain speaking of that sort, and indignant
ly eXclaims
'If Mr.. Bonaparte used this extraOrdi-
nary language he should have been prompt
ly required to make specifications in sup
port of his charges. How many men can
he name who ought to be in prison instead
of being "actively, if not conspicuously,
engaged in the government of the coun-
trys" Who are theyg OF what crimes
are they guiltyg What positions do they
hold, what salaries do they draw, and by
what influence are they kept in Office in
stead of being made to suffer for their
wrong -doingg''
No doubt Mr.. Bonaparte could have
named hundred men who would answer
his description. For instance:
Marcus A. Hanna. Crime, bribery-so
declared by q majority of the Senate in
the Legislature that elected him. Posi-
ton, United States Senator. Salary
So, 900 year. Influence, the power of
public plunder.
Matthew Stanley Quay. Crime, using
public money for private purposes. Posi-
ton, United States Senator by appoint
nent. Salary, $1,000 year. Influence,
same as Hanna's.
Russell A. Alger. Crime, sacrificing
American soldiers in the face of the enemy
for political and personal advantage. Po-
sition, Secretary of war. Salary, $S, 600
year. Influence, underground pull with
KcKinley.
Thomas G. Platt Crimes, bleeding cor
porations and systematic corruption of
legislators. Position, United States Sena
tor. Salary, $4,000 year. Influence,
same as Hanna's and Quay's
Charles A. Yerkes. Crime, wholesale
bribery. Position, power behind the
throne in Illinois politics. (Mr. Bonaparte
manifestly did not intend to limit his re-
marks to persons holding public office.
When he spoke of men actively, il not
conspicuously, engaged in the Government
of the country" he includss those "lead-
ing citizens who rule, our rulers, and
buy legislation as they buy stocks. Mr..
Yerkes has had sufficient power in the
government of Illinois to secure the pass
age of laws in his interest against the fu-
rious protest of the whole people,
These are just few Of the names Mr..
Bonaparte might have mentioned. Others
will occur by dozens to everybody with the
slightest acquaintance with current poll
tics.-N. Y. Journal.

know what it is. We cannot

china silk the texture is so fine

fected. These goods lose none of
their beauty by being laundered.
White Pique.
Nothing in white goods exceeds
in durability a white pique shirt.
They combine the three desirable
qualities of stylishness, comfort
and inexpensiveness. Our 1Oc

values, but our Zoe and 25c grades,
are marvels Of the manufacturer
art. Not the old familiar styles,

added beauty to the texture Of the

A Hotel Holocaust.

One of the most awful fires ever
known in New York city occurred
last Friday afternoon, when the Wind
sor Hotel, a large and fashionable es-
tablshment, was completely destroyed
bv fire. 1t was at about 8 o'clock in
the afternoon when a guest in one Of
the rooms carelessly threw aside a
lighted match. 1t set fire to lace
curtain, and almost instantly the room
was in a blaze. Within fifteen min
utes the fire had swept through the
great building; in half an hour the
roof fell in; in less than two hours
the hotel was utterly destroyed. Many
persons lost their lives by being burned
in the rooms and corridors, or by
throwing themselves from the win
dows. 1t is known that the death
list will reach 90; at least 80 others
were injured more or less seriously,
and the missing number 40.
The St. Patrick's day parade was
passing along Fifth Avenue, and many
of the guests of the hotel and visiting
friends were watching It. Before they
knew of the fire, escape was cut
off, and wild panic ensued. 1t was
impossible to reach the stairways, and
because Of the crowded streets it was
some time before the fremen could be-
gin the work of rescue. They saved
many people with their ladders, but
others could not be reached. Men and
women attempted to slide down by
ropes, but the friction would burn
their hands so that they were forced
to loose their hold and drop to the
ground, manned or killed The wife
and daughter Of Proprietor Warren
F. Leland were burned to death. The
family of Abuer Mckinley, brother
of the President, were in the hotel,
but were rescued in time. Miss Helen
Gould threw open her house to the
injured and dying, and was most at
tentive 10 the sufferers.

A Negro Bows Awful Crime.

One of the most 6endish murders
on record occurred last Saturday night
near Bowie, Nd, few miles from
Washington. Miss Amanda Clark,
aged Sc, and her sister, Miss Annie
Clark. aged 40, lived alone on a farm,
with no man about the place except
John Berry. a negro youth l9 years
old whom they had gotten from the
reformatory for colored boys two years
previous. Last Saturday evening,
while the sisters we've at supper, Berry
entered the room. He struck Miss
Annie a blow on the head with club
that knocked her senseless. He then
attacked Miss Amanda with the same
weapon. She resisted him, but he struck
her blow after blow with his murderous
club, until he finally broke her arm.
She sank to the floor in terror and PAIN,
when the young fend beat her until
life was extinct, her brains and blood
being scattered all over the room.
The boy then ransacked the house,
getting 90 cents in money for his pains.
When he returned to the scene OF
slaughter Miss Annie had revived.
He struck her blow in the face with
billet of frewood, cutting through
the end of her nose, through both lips,
through her chin, and knocking out her
front teeth. He then set out to COM
plete his devilish work by committing
an outrage on the PROSTATE woman.
She, however, fought him Oft, but only
after he had torn her clothing from
her body. After fighting until her
strength was exhausted, Miss Annie
began to beg for her life. She prom
ised to give him a hundred dollars
and never to mention his name if he
would spare her. These offers seemed
to have some effect on him and he be-
gan to question the woman as to the
sincerity Of her promise to shield hun.
He left her and went upstairs for
small crucifx which was use / by the
ladies in their devotions. While she
was lying by the side OF her dead Sis
ter, and almost in deaths throes her
setf, the brute placed the crucihx on
her blood-stmned lips and said ;
you swear you will never tell who
did this ~
The answer was, a do.
Not satisfied altogether with this
form of oath, the negro ran his hand
INTO the bosom of the lady's dress and
tearing a scapula which she wore
around her neck from a cord, he placed
it on her lips and made her repeat
the promise.
He finally went for a doctor and
priest. They came, and the news of
the awful crime quickly drew crowd.
The negro made so many contradic-
tory statements that he was arrested,
and Miss Annie acknowledged that he
was the guilty one. He would have
been lynched, but the sheriff hastily
secreted the murderer and later took
him to Jail in Baltimore.
