DESTITUTl0N IN A TENT.
Fl.lfu Casa OF Children Suffering Discovered Near

covered yesterday afternoon in the ce-

Joseph Leavens. a painter by occu-

summer, and upon wooded land, where
no rent is claimed by anyone, he pitched

None of the four were registered al

Under the oaks in the moonless night
i saw the fairies that took their flight
with stars to guide them, and shadows

And lilies for lantern light.
Like flight Of leaves that the wiid
wind reaves
From the fading boughs In the autumn
ewes.
They huttered and scuttered, they
whispered and muttered
Away Holla-ho! Away"
And now in my dreams / see them CO.
] hear them rustic now loud now low;
With shrill triangle, and cymbals that
jangle.
And little gold horns that blow.
Like a flight OF bees through the dark
Ling trees.
That chase and follow a wandering
breeze.
They scatter and mingle. their bridle-
bells Jingle
Away. HoIla-ho. Away"
Some day i know / shall hear them
call.

With mystic rhyming, like silvery

A POLICE justice in Colum bus, Ohio.
has ordered that a bathtub with soap
and fresh towels. together with shoe
blacking outfit, be put in the cell
room of the court over which he
presides. Hereafter every prisoner
who appears before him must have
cleaned himself and brushed his shoes.
The movement is q good one and ought
to be generally followed. The effect
of the ordinary police court is to still
further degrade the prisoner, and the
ordinary court is usually anything but
dignified, owing to the filthy condition
of all the surroundings. 1t seems to
us that soap and hot water would often
do more good to q petty offender than
whole volume of judicial sermons.
Nothing increases self respect like
personal cleanliness.

The plethora of Gold.
Ie New York World.

From the New York World.
The banks and the treasury alike are
suffering novel Embarrassment. They
have TOO much gold.
There is cash balance of 1921, $780,
80S in the treasury, of which S241 1885,
DIG is in gold, while the small remain
der is divided between treasury notes,
greenbacks and about four and quar-
ter millions of net silver.
At the same time the banks have so
great glut of gold that their storage
facilities are overtaxed, and to get rid
of the burden they are paying a
larger proportion than ever before of
customs dues in the yellow metal. Thus
during March, 1897, no gold was receiv-
ed for customs; during March, 1898, the
proportion of gold received was l7.6
per cent; during March; 1899, it was no
less than $50 per cent. and during the
first ten days of April it rose to 80 per
cent.
Americans do not and will not use
gold in ordinary business. This is
partly because of long habituation to
the more convenient paper money and
partly because we have small notes.
In England, where the smallest Bank
of England note is for e5, or S25, and
in France, where the smallest is 50f.,
or $40, gold passes freely from hand to
hand and large amount OF 1t Is kept
in circulation. Here we hurry our
gold to bank and the banks hustle it in
to the treasury.
The present plethora of the more
precious metal confutes some economic
theories and disproves q great many
political prophecies, but "facts are
stubborn things."

CURLEY SULLIVAN is one OF the
very worst offenders, and the commu-
nity ought 70 be relieved OF his OBJ
noxious presence. But the HERALD
does not believe in making this man
scapegoat for all the sins OF the ad-
ministration, the police, and the
gamblers. 1t looks in fact too much
like persecution, whether from pol1tl-
cal or other motives does not matter.
If it is impossible to secure this man 8
conviction because OF lack OF evidence,
no such obstacle would prevent the
conviction of score of notorious
gam blers. Every gambling house In
this city employs capper whose
practices are not one whit less criminal
than Curley's. The poker games that
are carried on night and day In the
gambling bells are swindling agencies,
"rollers," just as certainly as are the
games Curley is alleged to engage In.
We do not wish to convey the impress
sion that we are taking Curley's side
for an instant, but we do say that 1t 1s
small business on the part OF the police
and the administration to concentrate
all their forces on this man. applying
the vagrancy laws because the gam bling
laws do not seem to stick, while scores
of notorious lawbreakers, against whom
evidence could be secured by the ton,
are allowed to 60 unmolested. We
want to see the animals stirred up, and
If CurIey can do it, as he threatens, we
say go ahead.

WE have always commended that for

WE have always contended that for
the law to be respected it must be en-
forced and unless the law is enforced.
it is better to wipe it from the statute
books entirely. We would rather see
q code of q hundred laws, enforced,
than one of ten thousand laws, loosely
applied or let 60 by default. 1t is COM
mon error that law is in itself power
full and can work miracles. Law is
powerless, and its. multiplication Is
foolish, sunless it has the people be-
hind it.s 1t is seldom indie ed that it
would seem to be, under present day
conditions desirable for the people to
"rise superior to law" and try cases
and punish crimess without court pro-
cess. 6sNasisg that -msy
existthen why not have system to
ce$er their treatment, as they do in
Mexico? A recent dispatch tells
us that the governor of Sinalos. in Or
der to give greater security to life and
property, has suspended the constitu-
tional guarantees in cases of kidnap-
Ing, patricide, premeditated murder,
and highway robbery. Sinaloa is on
the Pacific coast and isolated from the
railway system OF the country. This
measure means that offenders of these
classes will be subject to capital pun
ishment by the constituted authorities
without the formslity Of trial when
their guilt shall be clearly evident. 1t
means an order to shoot on sight all
men known to be guilty OF these psrti-
cular crimes A similar measure re-
garding persons guilty of putting OBJ
structions ON railway tracks was taken
q few years ago with eminently salts
factory results. That class of offenses
died out. It is the Mexican substitute
for mob law and lynching, and
is said to work we'll in practice. Why
not apply some such remedy as this to
the deplorable state of affairs in some
of the southern states? 1T may still
mean the death of some innocent peo-
pie, but such things are probably in
separable from certain conditions of
growth, and the end will be attained of
swift punishment OF the guilty
Suspend the law by proper action
rather than wantonly violate it. So
far as the punishment of rape is con-
cerned, it is not clear that it would not
be well to confer some such power on
the constituted authorities as they
have under this new arrangement in
Sinaloa. It might take the form of
suspension of the right OF appeal in
certain cases, or limit to the time
that should elspse between the com
mission of the crime and the descent OF
punishment. The trial should in such

RUSSIA and England have reached
an understanding in China. Thus one
more formidable war cloud is dissipat-
ed. Russia takes north China, and
England holds the Yang-Tse-Kiang
valley. They call it "spheres of in
f1uence," but that term is adopted in
order to avoid hurting China's feelings
by calling 1t partition. And now it
appears that Russia has no more use
for France, and France, realizing that
she has been merely as tool, is dis
gusted, and little is heard of the much
heralded friendly understanding with
