CARTER AND OTHERS.

The United States Supreme Court has made
what is believed to be final disposition of She
case of Oberln NJ. Carter. weary public
would receive that news with considerable sat
isfaction if it carried with il the assurance that
the contractors who were in conspiracy with
Carter and profited by his wrongdoings were
likewise certain to receive punishment Just at
present they seem far from ii, and the time
goes rapidly by within which it is possible to
call them 10 account
A few days ago the Federal Grand Jury in
Georgia called attention sharply to the delay IN
prosecuting these contractors, and pointed out
that if they We're not soon compelled to plead TO
indictments the statute of limitations would
protect them. Arrests had been made here in
New York on indictments found in Georgia, but
the defendants had resisted removal, and it
found that they would cause so much delay
that If the indictments We're in any way faulty
there would be time left to secure others
more perfect. Concident with this complaint
Judge Brown dismissed the order of arrests
here and compelled the Government to begin
anew its attempts to remove them. Thus the
question whether the indictments will hold
is stili undetermined, and unless diligence quite
unusual in this ease is shown the test will not
be made while there is any chance to repair an
error If the defendants should succeed In estab-
fishing one.
The prosecution has been somewhat inclined
10 find fault with Judge Brown. first for his ac
ton and then for his deliberation in acting AS
for the action. that was an exercise of judicial
discretion which laymen will not he disposed to
criticise. The prosecution had TO consider the
possibility of such obstacles from the begin
ming. and should have allowed for them or by
their legal proceedings have made it impossible
for them TO block the way And as for the
total of delay that it is impossible to place on
him the responsibility for failure of justice if
one occurs The conduct of the whole ca Sc has
spelt delay. Through all the months when the
Carter court martial findings were being tossed
about from one department to another and re-
viewed and re-reviewed ii was perfectly we'll
known in official circles that every postpone
nent in deciding Carriers diminished the
chances of Furnishing his partners. Time and
again speedy decision was urged on the spe-
cifc ground that If the contractors were 10 be
successfully prosecuted indictments must be
found soon. and that the possibility Of dlsmissals
OF first indictments and long preliminary fight
before the contractors could he actually brought
10 trial must be taken into consideration Still
much time consumed in giving every
body Il chance 10 find possible loophoe for
Carter that none Is now left for the mishaps in
cident to the prosecution of his companions
When this danger from delay in the Carter
case was once brought TO the attention of At

anees that the Government had several strings

GOTERNOR TAYLOR.

II is a rather singular thing that, though II
has been positively and to all appearance au-
thOFtatively announced that Governor Iaylor
of Kentucky has been indicted for completely in
the assassination of Goebel his chief counsel,
Ex-Governor Bradley, said late as Sunday
night that he did not know whether or not the
report true. Presumably, however, his
meaning was that he had not been directly and
formally apprised of the fact for he went on
TO speak of the rumor that his client was IN
New York for the purpose of avoiding arrest in
a way which indicated a supposition on his part
that an Indictment had been found. In any
case what he said on this point is sure TO com
mand respect and approval Governor Taylor,
he observed. had publicly declared that he was
not and never would be a fugitive from justice,
but. if he should be indicted, would meet his
accusers face TO face. There remained, there
fore only one course open to him, TO return TO
kentucky as soon as he could, walk boldly into
court and meet the Indictment like man. Any
other course would he rank injustice, not only
To himself, but to those friends Of his who had
been charged with a foul crime
1t is certain that if Governor Taylor takes any
other course there will be general surprise, TO
which those who have been constrained TO be-
lieve that he has not uniformly acted with the
highest wisdom during the last few months Of
difficulty and danger will be among the first TO
give expression. There are many who think he
has made Mistakes but far as we are aware
nobody has ever suspected him of cowardice.
Indeed, his errors have seemed to be the result
of excessive boldness and independence of spirit,
and disposition TO resist eXtradition proceed
ings would be wholly inconsistent with the esd-
mate which has been formed, at least in this
part of the country, from observation of his con-
duct. If he were guilty, the purpose imputed TO
him would be explicable, though even then it
would be foolish. But thus far we have found
no reason to believe that anybody outside the
circle of his enemies at home ever put the
slightest credence in the hideous accusation
brought against him.
1t is somewhat difficult 10 determine how seri-
ousy the charge is regarded in Kentucky, but
this at least is certain, that it has caused ex-
tremely little excitement there while elsewhere
it scarcely seems TO have produced much
a ripple of interest. This is a significant cir
cumstance. The Kentucky contest has attracted
wide attention, and the murder Of Goebel made
immense sensation. If it We're really be-
lieved by any considerable number of persons
that the man who elected and inaugurated
and has not yet been displaced was acces
sorry before the fact in the assassination of his
rival the news relating 10 bis Indictment would
not be deemed of trivial importance.

AMERICA AND TURKEY.

The intmation is made that the Turkish Gov
ernment has placed, or proposes to place, the
claims of the United States in the same cate
CORY with those of other countries, and settle
them at the same time-nO sooner, no later.
This, some think is a shresvd diplomatic move,
which may effectuaIy debar the United States
from further pressing its demands, at any
rate may cause European Powers to look with
disfavor upon any attempt of this country 10
compel recognition a preferred creditor. II IS
pointed ont that other countries have claims
against Turkey just as valid as and Of
just as long standing; that Turkey, with
budget deficit OF 100000 or S10,OO0.OOO a
year is not In a position TO pay them all at this
time. and that the payment of our claim would
certainly provoke the others to enforce their
demands In the most vigorous manner All that
NAV be true, and yet may have nothing TO do
with the case, or with the essence of the case
II is no satisfactory answer 10 the Just de-
mands of one creditor that other creditors have
not been paid IL is no amends for broken
promise 10 say that other promises have also
been broken, or that like promises TO others
have not been made. For IL is not known that
the Porte has promised payment 10 other Pow
ers as explicitly and positively as 10 this coun-
try II is not known that such confession Of
judgment has been made to them. Certainly. in
that case q fully admitted claim must stand
upon different footing from those that have
not been admitted nor adjudicated. But even
granting that the other claims have been con-
fesscd, and are indisputably just and due
our own II still is not 10 be conceded thar fail
ure 10 pay them diminishes IN the least degree
the obligation TO pay this one.
The suggestions that all the claims. American
and European, may be referred 10 a Commits
sion. which shall investigate and settle them,
and that some other Power may be called upon
TO mediate between Turkey and the United
States, are not eommendable nor defensble.
The case is. by Turkeys own action, already
New-York tribune., 1900-04-24

fully adjudicated. There is no call for a COM
mission TO investigate a case which has already
been investigated to the satisfaction of both
parties. Neither is there any call for mediator
between two parties who have already come to
an agreement. And Turkey and the United
States have thus agreed. The United States has
agreed TO accept the pttance Of 100000 in full
of all demands, and Turkey has promised to
pay it, The only question remaining is whether
or not the Turkish Government will fulfil It's
promise Ii is not supposable that the sub
lime Porte wishes TO submit that question TO
arbitration or to the mediation of n third Power.
There is, moreover, an objection to any ar
rangement whereby the American claim is
Jumped or classed with the clnims of European
Powers. 1t is that in It's dealings with Tur-
member of the European Concert" 1t has not
pooled issues with the Powers They have
their agreements among themselves, for joint
action abstinence from action. for preserving
the integrity of the Turkish Empire or for par
titioning il among them. But the United states
is not and does not propose TO be a party TO
them. 1t avoids principle, all such entangle-
ments. 1t acts for itself and for itself alone.
and ii has a right TO expect TO be treated ac-
cording to its own individual merits, and not TO
be kept dancing attendance upon any concert
or combination in which it has no part or lot.
If Turkey honors her own promises, there
will be end of the matter, so far as this
country is concerned. If she does not. it remains
for the United States to consider by what means
she can best be prevailed upon to do So

MULTIPLE ELECTRIC TRACTION.

Competitive tests made In Boston few days
ago direct public attention to a comparatively
new method of using electricity on railways
On a trolley road each car is operated singly
and has its own motor and device for controlling
the amount of current admitted thereto. When
the Baltimore and Ohio people want to haul an
immense freight passenger train through
their tunnel in the Monumental City they con-
centrate the motive machinery in gigantic
engine, placed at the head OF the train. Each
of the plans here mentioned has its merits, and
is admirably adapted to one set of conditions
but the two plans cannot be used interchange
ably.
Still another combination OF requirements
has arisen, however, and neither of the two
systems referred to meets them satisfacto-
rily. On elevated and surface steam roads he nd
ling suburban traffic the made up into
trains. and the number of the former in the
latter varies considerably from hour to hour
At time of day two train will be more
than adequate, while at another time, especially
during the racing season, ten or dozen cars
will be overerowded. Hence method of ap-
plying the power Is needed which is flexible
enough TO suit these varying demands. If the
Baltimore plan were to be followed, 1t would be
necessary to have all of the electric engines big
enough 10 handle the largest load that could
be offered, or else have engines of diff
both of these schemes.
IL the earlier experiments on elevated roads
in Chicago and on the Brooklyn Bridge a COM
promise plan adopted. One of a train

out any serious sacrifice of passenger accom-
modations, and this hauled the other ears The
plan has worked surprisingly well. everything
considered. But it is far from ideal system

To obviate these difficulties IL Is now proposed
to furnish each the road with its own
motor and controller, exactly as If II was 10 be
independently. Thus the motive power
available would be automatically adjusted to
the size OF the train. The necessity would then
arise, Of course, for operating the motors
whether few or many in absolute unison. And
that is what the system does One man. at
any point on the train-but preferably at its
head-can actuate all of the controllers stimuli

power must be turned on gradually. No matter
how the were put together under this sys-
TEN, II would always be feasible for the motor
man to direct their movements from what han
