NEELY'S CASE ADVANCED.
u Will BE Heard In November by
the Smpreme Court.

The two cases involving the extradition
Of Charles F. w. Nicely to Cuba for trial
on the charge OF misappropriatng Cuban
postal funds were yesterday advanced i'll
the Supreme Court of the United States.
and will he heard November L. The same
date was fixed for hearing the two cases
involving the consttutionality of The
Porto Rican Tariff law. and OF the tariff
imposed upon goods imported from the
Philippine Islands. The applicant in both
cases raised the question that both these
possessions are part of the United States.
and that customs duties on articles orig-
mating therein could not be legally i'm
posed.
In the appeal of Daniel Gray Wiley, from
the decision of the United States Court for
the district Of South Carolina. in favor Of
Sinkler and others. election officers OF that
State in a suit brought to compel them
to accept Wiley's vote for member OF
Congress. the Supreme Court today affirmed
the decision against the appellant. Wiley
claimed the right to vote for member of
Congress was one accruing. under the Con-
stitution of the United States, and could
not be denied by the law Of the State of
South Carolina. Justice Gray. in deliver
ing the opinion of the court said this right
was unquestioned. The plaintiff. however
had not shown that he was registered as
a voter or had endeavOred to register.
which defect was fatal to the case. The
appeal was therefore dismissed

DR.. Carroll D. Wright, Commissioner of
Labor. and the most distinguished statis-
tician at present In the service OF the ma
ton, has issued a bulletin from his de-
par,,nent showing the average fiuctuation
in wages since 1891, the wage average OF
which is made the basis taking into ac-
count one hundred and forty eight estab-
lishments, representing tweniy-six indus
tries and one hundred and nine;y-two oc-

fairly representative of industrial oondi-

Mistaken Sentiment.

man was recently arrested in Brook
Ign for stealing considerable sum from
the bank of which he was cashier and
some mistakenly sentimental person wrote
letter TO one of the New York papers
urging that the offence be condoned be-
cause the man was only earning fifteen
dollars week and was under the infiu-
erce OF great temptation in the continual
handling OF money.
There is a good side and n bad side to
the growing tendency to extend sympa thy
and help TO criminals. II is not neces-
sary. in order TO help those who have
broken the laws of society, 20 weaken the
moral fibre of the community and try to
Obliterate the difference between meum
and tuum. IL man is earning n small
salary and has 4 good chance to steal
from his employers, that does not make IL
right for him TO steal. He is not paid 10
he honest, but to work, and his salary is
not the price of his manhood. but of his
time. There should be in society a sem
timent so overwhelmingly against dis
honesty Of any kind that it will be safe
otherwise. There should also be public
sentiment which will compel all employ
ers to pay their men living wages-not
pay them TO be honest. but give them what
their work is worth. II this Brooklyn
embezzler was only doing fifteen dollars
The times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1897-1901, 1900-10-16

From the above statement it will be
observed that from 1892 10 1892 wages
were lower than in 1891, only rising to, and
slightly above. the level Of that year. in
1893, when they advanced TO a little ever
one and half per cent over the 1891 level
In 1860 they are three ana four- tenths
above il. But for present purposes ii is
.airor to compare the present status with
that of 1893. the year OF The manufactured
Cleveland panic. II 1893 the wage level
Was 39.32 as compared with The $40 datum
Of 1891. Since the former year it has risen
to 1913. the advance being Z trinc over
four per cent.
Four per cent, with fractional plus,
then, is what the Trust Mckinley" party
has to show by way of increase in the
wages of our working population Stree
1895, while the. cost of every commodity
which the laboring man or !.rmer must
buy TO feed or clothe himself, or with
which to pursue his ayooation, has en-
HANGED from thirty TO fifty per cent since
the same starting point Under the con-
ditIons which have marked industrial re-
organization since the Cleveland panic, the
trusts have and do control the price of
wages. exactly as they have and do COLI
troll the price Of all staple commodities.
Does anyone want a more convincing ex-
position? Commodities dominated by

worth Of work week, at the ordinary
have been paid double that amount be
cause his position afforded him good
opportunity to falsify accounts and rob
the cash drawer. The increase of pay
would not have made him less disposed 10
increase his income in illegal ways. if
ing SO little that he is actually starving
there may possibly be an excuse for his
stealing; at any rate, nobody will be
very hard on him if he takes loaf CT
bread TO sustain life. But no man work
ing for salary of fifteen dollars a week
is in that predicament. He may not have
any Injuries; his clothes may be shabby,
and his home small and not very COM
Portable. but he has enough to enable
him to live honestly. If he does not re-
frain from thievery it is more his loss
than his employers. The latter loses
only money: the former destroys his own
self-respect and coed name.
1t is the laxness of judgment which is
current in certain circles of society which
makes vice as common as it is. When a
man gets the idea that he is hurting no.
body by committing crime. that, in
fact, he is doing only what he might be
expected to do in his circumstances, and
may do without loss of self-respect, the
chances are that he will commit that sin
before very long. Such looseness of dis
elimination between right and wrong is
not charity; it is simply s!ipshod
standard of living

DiSOrslcrcd Chinu.

Our China news today shows that dis
order and rebellion are rife pretty well
throughout most of the Empire. The
Yangtse Viceroys, who, hitherto. have
succeeded fairly well in keeping the tur-
bulent native spirit in check, appear to be
on the point of being overcome by circum-
stances. Their troops are commanded by
Manchu generals in the pay of Prince
Tuan, and the anti-forelgn war seems
certain to be renewed from that as we'll
as from other quarters.
The reform rebellion in the south is
spreading. although Sun Vat Sens forces
are reported to have retired from Wei
Chow on the appearance of n strong army
of imperial troops. China, therefore, is
likely to be in the throes OF a huge civil
as well as a foreign war before many
weeks
Before acting under his instructions to
scuttle out CT China it was reported that
General Chaifee expressed dsapproval Of
Count Won Waldersee's expedition to Pa
oting-fu But the consensus of opinion
among soldiers and diplomats now is that
il was and is a wise movement. 1t will
place the allies in possession of strategic
points from which the flow Of money and
supplies to the enemy's court at Singan-fu
can be stopped, and, thus cut of, it is pos
siblc that the Empress Dowager and Prince
Tuan. who is no more banished TO the ST.
berian frontier than Secretary Hay was
''barished'' to Lake Sunapee. may see the
futility of renewing hostilities and so re-
irain from doing SO. and really try to come
to terms with the powers.
The Administration has been reluctant
ly compelled to revise its old actual or
pretended belief in the good faith of the
Chinese. in view of the unanimous con-
viction OF the foreign representatives in
Pekin that the imperial Government has
| been playing false from the start and is
still doing SO. both as to the punishment
| OF officials guilty of atrocities, and all 9TH
| or matters Il still holds to the idea that
| immediate peace negotiations would tend
