WAR

"Mr Lecky believes that the most
dangerous of AN temptations that besel
the political partisan is war, because it
may be begun or prolonged to CONSOLE
date dynasty or party, or to divert
the minds of men from internal cues
lions which have become dangerous
or embarrassing, or to efface the men,
DRY Of past mistakes or crimes. A Ger
tain element of popularity, he says, is
never lacking. There are large classes
10 whom 10 is by no means a calamity :;
to the agriculturist it means high
prices 90 the profession Of arms pro-
motions and honors; 10 other classes it
means stimulation to special industries
and rise In the rate Of interest"
Mr.. Lecky is right, and tbs HERALD
was right in saying that the present
prosperity was born of war. Mr..
Mckinley can only lay claim to being
its author IN so far as he is the author
OF war We cheerfully accord that to
him, and If IL is "a feather in his cap"
he may make the most of il.

There seems to be good reason for
believing that the State will demand
the removal Of the Soldiers Home from
the temptations OF the city to the quiet
Of the country, and if this be so what
place more appropriate than College
Hill, and what buildings can better
shelter them than those made vacant
when Union Seminary was moved to
Richmond? We respectfully invite
the attention of our worthy representa-
tives, Judge Watkins and Mr.. Owen. to
them. Prince Edwards loss was
RichmOnd's gain, and our capital city
will not object if some return should be
made to us. Major r. NJ. Venable, of
Baltimore, is the owner OF them, but
he was loyal Confederate soldier, and
would, we dOu0t not, gladly dispose of
the property to be dedicated to such
sacred uses. No where in the broad
land could the old heroes find a more
comfortable resting place, nor more
congenlal surroundings. This matter
deserves more than simple newspa per
notice. "The gods help those who
help themselves. "

WASHINGTON LETTER.

, WASHINGTON, Jan, s, 1900
? The administration has been kept
t squirming ever since Congress reas
sembled by the resolutions calling for
Information on various Philippine
matters, offered by Senator Pettigrew
and Others, but the castgation of its
Philippine policy received today at the
hands OF Senator Hoar, in a speech in
favor OF his resolution, declaring
against imperialism and for the indie
pendence Of the Philippines, was the
worst punishment yet administered.
Mr.. Hoar is not an orator in any sense
OF the word, but he has the LAWYERS
faculty Of massing facts and plainly
stating his case, and he brought it into
full play In his speech, which will take
high place in the arguments against
the departure from the policy of Wash.
ington and all the early Presidents.
and the substitution therefor OF i'm.
perialism, with its attendant evils. a
large standing army, extravagant pub
llcexpenditures, and public and private
corruption. 1t was warning which
deserves the attention from the country
that 1t will not receive from Mr.
Mckinley and his imperlalistic adj
vlsers, who answer it, not by argu-
ment, but by calling Senator Hoar "a
traitor"

LESSO NS OF THE POISON TRIAL.

1.-The Molineux poison trial has en-
phasized certain pracUical points that
our lawgivers ought to heed.
When the state had spent nearly
quarter of million dollars and thir-
teen months of it's officers time in an
crime juror fell ill and there was
serious danger that the whole expen-
diture of time and money might be
thrown away, justice be defeated, and
both the State and the accused be
denied that verdict to which both
we're entitled. And all because of the
traditional reverence for the number
twelve-that of the Apostles.
This sort of thing is liable in every
prolonged trial. Why should it not
be provided against by law? The way
out is simple and easy. Either the
law should provide that in case of the
illness or death of juror the re main
ing eleven shall render verdict, or
else it should provide for thirteenth
juror in every case likely to be pro-
longed in trial-a juror who shall he ar
the evidence and in case of the illness
or death of any other juror take his
place thus keeping the magic twelve
intact.
Again, why should not the end of
trial be the end of it? In every other
country but ours when man is con-
victed by the unanimous verdict of
jury there is an end of the matter.
unless the Government itself inter
venes to prevent fragrant injustice.
With us appeal is practically matter
of right, and it involves delay which
robs punishment of its deterrent eff
feet.

President Goldman has virtual,

President Goldman has virtually
given up the contention that he has
been making in the interest of the
preferred stockholders of the Fitch
burg road against the proposed lease
of the property to the Boston & Maine.
This follows from the belief that the
states common stock will be voted
favorably and that there could not be
enough preferred stock secured to
overcome the effect ofso large amount
being voted en- bloc. 1t is shown by
experience, he says, that not more
than two thirds of the shareholders
are likely to attend the meeting unless
extraordinary efforts are made to Sc
cure proxies. This Mr.. Goldman re-
fuses to do under circumstances that
make it inconsistent with his self
respect.
