A Murderous Chicago Burglar.

Chicago is suffering just now from an
epidemic of crime, eliminating in murder
Gus assault by a burglar upon the wife of
one of the city's wealthiest residents Thugs
are successfully holding up pedestrians al
most every night, and second-story
thieves are plying their trade with 1mpuni-
ty. The public fears have been aroused
and a demand is being made for a system
tic search for these desperadoes and for
their prompt trial and severe punishment
1t now remains to be seen whether the po-
lice, even if more conscientiously directed,
will be able to make Roadway against the
crime wave which has been steadily grow
ing in force in the windy city for several
years. There has been altogether too much
political city government to suit the peace
full residents, who have little or no faith
in the police machinery. 1t has been freely
| charged that the city needs 'Lexowng."
The task is gigantic, however. and the re-
| formers have thus far been unable to Sc
| cure the proper leverage to pry open the
| secrets of the municipal admnist ration.
! The assault upon Mrs. Potter illust rates
| anew the fact that the burglar is poten-
| tial murderer. The thug. who struck her with
| brass knuckles, did SO out Of sheer brutali-
! ty. He had been discovered in his work, he
was likely to be captured and he ran away.
! But before he went he struck the woman
| in the head with his murderous weapon
not that she was likely to check his prog
ress or that there was question Of recog-
milton, but purely out of devitry. He was
| there to kill if need be, and he did not
! hesitate to strike to kill when the pinch
came without reckoning the chances. He
was murderer in heart, notwithstanding
! the fact that his victim lives. AS soon as
! this truth reaches the legislative compre-
| hension laws might naturally be expected
putting burglars upon the list Of criminals
deserving the death penalty. There should
be no discrimination In favor of the brute
whose blow fails to kill or who is fright
ened away before he can deliver a deadly
| injury The man who enters house at
night armed for purpose Of crime should
! be hanged upon conviction

The Presidents action yesterday in ask
ing the cabinet members to remain with
him during his second term was thoroughly
characteristic of the man and altogether
justified by the situation The cabinet as
I. stands ia one of the most harmonious
and effective ever organized. 1t Is notable
in its aggregated strength and its individual
components 1t is working cabinet, every
member capable of attending in person to
the details of his departmental duties. 1t Is
entirely in harmony with the administra-
tons policies 1t is calculated to strengthen
the Presidents position both at home ana
abroad and to advance his purposes in all
directions 1t enjoys the confidence of the
public service and of the country at large.

would ensure the maintenance of the high

Dangerous Side-Wheelers.


FROM the Springfield hepuDlican
The Intelligent travelling public may a.
well begin to discriminate against side
wheel steamers when making winter jour-
neys. Here are the dreadful object les
sons Of the wreck of the City of Monticello,
with it's loss OF some thirty lives off the
shore of Yarmouth. N. s., added to the yet
more fearsome going down of the City Of
Portland. II would seem as if people who
venture hereafter on deep-sea journeys in
side wheelers during the period of winter
gales must do with better knowledge
of the possibilities of disaster, for it stands
to reason that a side-wheel steamer. with
wide, low-ying guards, stands a poorer
chance of weathering storms Of unusual
fury than the modern steamers with twin
screws. If the last named vessel costs
more, by so much is it to be desired on the
score of stanchness and safety. Light
draft vessels have their place. but 1t is not
upon the deep sea in seasons when the
weather is likely to be at it's most siren
uous pitch.

No part Of the country is in the enjoy
ment of a greater share of the commercial
recovery than the south. While the bread
stuffs and provisions exported in October
were of less value than those exported in
October 1899, the value of cotton exports
was more than doubled, the increase alone
being $32OOO,O0O. A good part Of this was
due to the increase in price. The farmer Is
apt to experience high prices only when he
has little to sell. and to see the markets
break under his heavy crops, but the cotton
raiser is now enjoying the double advan-
tage Of good crops and good prices. South
ern people will outgrow the habit of speak
ing of themselves as if they were UP to
their ears in debt.

An Interesting Case.
From tho RoSfon Herald.

There is a popular impression among the
lawyers who followed the evidence in the
case Of Valet Mowbray VS.. Howard Gould
that the courts have not yet heard the last
of it. Civil courts sit to decide whether a
man has kept his contracts and not to turn
a vitascope on the career of either plaintiff
or defendant in order to let the public
know whom either of them invites on his
yacht or where he keeps his wardrobe. The
higher courts will now be called upon to
decide whether or not the judge ansthis case
erred In letting in testimony that was
rather more scandalous than relevant.

A Colorado Coinage Scheme.

together 80 cents. The coin bears on it's

That Spanish-Amertca Congress.

Poor old Spain, holding a Spanish-Amer
lean congress in Madrid, does not seem to
be aware of the pitiable figure she presents
to the world. Spain lost her South Amer
lean and her North American empire
the roll of patron of countries that cast her
out. She may not have any special malice
in holding this congress, but that is imma-
terial. She is powerless for harm on the
American continent from the north pole to
Cane Horn.

From the Chicago CHRONICLE.
The loser of q freak election bet has at
least one consolation. The winner looks
fully as idiotic as the loser. The spectacle
of grown-up men being trundled around In

hailed by the pessimist as proof that the
