is the vesting in the hands Of the gov

Peculiar Ideas of Duty.

Because of friendship for Roland Is.
Molineux's father District Attorney
Gardner, Of New York, declined to take
personal charge of the prosecution OF
the son for murder and, although con-
WINGED of young Molineux's guilt,
turned the case over to subordinate.
on Monday Justice Gildersleeve, of the
supreme court said that he probably
would not hold the hearing on the writ
Of habeas corpus for young MolineuX,
because he has many years acquaint-
ance with General MolneuX, who is
an old comrade of his. He had even
given General MolineuX some advice
in regard to the case. Justice Gid
crsleeve, therefore, adjourned the hear
ing until today, and in the meantime will
decide whether to transfer the case to
another Judge.
The sentiment of friendship is a beau
tiful one and General MolineuX is for
tunate TO have friends who in his hour
of trouble will stand by him like this.
No one will be mean enough to under
estimate these proofs of personal tidel-
ity and devotion. And yet the though.
will not down that the sentiment Of
justice is also deserving of attention
from those in authority who are un-
der solemn oath to defend and promote
it. Personal respect and sympathy for
Il venerable father in distress ought
not TO outweigh the proper interest of
the community in a thorough sitting
of the evidence in a murder case of
peculiarly atrocious characteristics.
In the face Of repeated public eX-
pressions of apprehension lest the great
wealth, eminent social position and
widespread influence Of the Molineux
family might operate to incline the
scales of justice unduly in the behalf
of the suspect on trial, it behooves
all officers of the law having to deal
with this case to act with answering
fidelity to their official duty. Young
MoineuX should not be convicted be-
cause he is rich nor denied any of the
common rights of a prisoner under a
similar charge; but on the contrary
the fact that he is rich and the son
OF particular father should not oper-
ate to make easier than ordinary his
pathway to final verdict We want
to hold our courts of law in the respect
and veneration which is theirs in
theory we want nothing to take place
in them which is calculated to en-
courage the vicious belief that justice
n America is bought and sold or dis
oenscd in obedience to favoritlsm or
pull.

Professor Haupt's Chance.

Washington dispatch says: "The
president has taken notice of the inter-
view attributed to Professor Lewis NJ.
Haupt. a member of the Isthmian
Canal commission, to the effect that
the whole project of the commission
was only scheme to delude people.
Naturally, the public expression OF
such view coming from a person con-
nected with the commission, was re-
ceived with great surprise, and Pro-
fcssor Haupt either has been or will
be Immediately called upon for a state
ment. If he denies the authenticity
Of the interview that will be regarded
as sufficient. If he stands by the state
ments made in the interview then he
must leave the commission, for, in the
opinion of the administration, his re-
naming on the commission would de-
stroy its usefulness and make it's re-
port valueless."
That the president should feel this
way is natural. He was not a party to
the scheme Of delay engineered through
the last congress. He wanted the canal
built and urged that definite steps be
taken toward that end. The influences
opposed TO such a course succeeded in
getting a bill through for the appoint
ment of a new commission to thrash
over straw from which, as Professor
Haupt says, the wheat had already
been fully extracted. The president had
no option but to take congress at its
word and name the best commission
that he could select. We have no doubt
that the president will impart to this
commission such general instructions
as will expedite its work and at the
same time insure exhaustive treatment
But upon congress is the responsible
ity for definite constructive legislation.
The president can recommend and urge
but 1t is congress which votes the
money and fixes the conditions.
Assuming that Professor Haupt was
correctly reported in the main-for the
views attributed to him in the recently
published interview substantially coin
eide with opinions publicly expressed
by him in Scranton-a field Of wide
spread usefulness awaits him outside
OF the work OF the new commission.
Let him decline to be a party to the
threshing over of old straw and in
stead communicate to the people from
time to time in an unofficial capacity
such information and comment upon
the canal problem as he must possess
in excess OF that generally diffused
among the people. II there are com
binations OF influence secretly fighting
the canal project, let the professor
show them up. II the new commission
shall deviate from a straightforward
course let him point out its errors SO

The Only Hope for Army Reform.

In O paper read before a distinguish
ed company of military and naval off,
GERS in London the other day, Poulte-
ney Bigeow, whose truth-telling at
TamT a last year gave him temporary
unpopularity, paid tribute to the SOL
dierly qualities of the American vol
unteer, which he pronounced upon the
whole superior to those of any other
typical soldier, but condemned unspar-
ngly the methods of political admin
istration prevalent in the war depart
ment and claimed that until these were
improved the soldiers Of America
would always go into war handicapped
in it's earlier stages and compelled to
make up, in bloodshed and privations,
for the shortcomings at headquarters.
After the reading of this paper there
was a general discussion, in which
British officers and American officials

until politics in war administration

of the plain soldier element everywhere.

reformation. 1t makes light Of it's mis-
takes, shows indignation when these

UP it's mind to domineer public opin-

not appear to be seriously given over
to this problem. His idea seems to
be to get away from it as far and as
fast as possible. If the leaders in con-
gress discover that the Democrats are
going to make a party howl of Alger-
ism they will, per contra, line up in
Alger's defense and thus, in the exigen-
cies of politics, the very important
question of army reform will be subor-
dinated and sighted. The regular
army men have no pull and therefore
they are powerless. The only hope lies
in the intelligence, fairness and cour-
age of public opinion. asserted without

The intention of the Democrats at
Harrisburg to raise a howl over Alger
and the beef question will cause very
little perturbation in the Republican
ranks. There are Republicans who
don't like Alger nor approve of the
commissary management in the late
war with Spain; but they are not there
fore to be used as cats paws in an at
tempted pulling of Democratic official
chestnuts out of the fire. The Republi-
can party can take care of its own
house cleaning.

sALEsAGENTs AND TRUSTS.
Rochester Democrat and Chronicle.

Rochester Democrat and Chronicle.
The commercial travellers of this coun-
try are reported to be about solid IN
their opposition to the so-called trusts
or combinations now appearing on every
hand. With the great body of these en-
ergetio and enterprising business men II
Is question of employment or no EN-
ployment. Percy e. DOVE, the president
Of the Commercial Travellers National
league, is to appear before the industrial
commission at Washington this week.
and some of the points he will make in
his testimony have been given to the
public. He says that there are 35OOO0
commercial travellers in this country, and
they spend about 100000 a day. He has
already heard from 10000 of them, and
they are unanimously against the trusts.
To show the effect the consolidation of
companies Is having upon these men, he
says that the chair trust threw 1000 trav-
elers out of employment. The American
steel trust combination caused the dis.
charge of 300 travellers in one day from
one house which had been absorbed. The
tobacco deal threw out $50 more at one
time. Speaking of these results Mr..
Dove says; "The fact of the matter Is
that with the elimination of competition
the commercial travellers occupation Is
gone. He practically will be wiped out
of existence, unless something Is done
to prevent the ascendancy of the trusts
One man will be able to do the work OF
half a DOZEN He will merely visit town
with his list of prices cut and dried"
o
With the disappearance of the army OF
commercial travellers from the field the
railroads and hotels of course will lose
much of their custom, estimated to
amount to S3,oOO0OO a day. This is one OF
the probable consequences of the new
business adjustments now going on. II
is one to which political leaders will not
be Indifferent, as the commercial trav-
elers of the country, as a class, are
hustlers, and should they find their oc-
cupation threatened by the new order of
Things, they might conclude to work for
the party or movement which affords tho
best promise of putting stop to the
process now going forward. But mere
denunciation of trusts without the sub
mission of a remedy will not satisfy the
wideawake, intelligent class of citizens
who compose the Commercial Travellers
National league. A mere platform reso-
luton against them amounts to nothing
more than the beating of Chinese gongs
to scare a modern army.
