The MOlfneux Case

Molineuxs conviction concerns the peo-
pie of every community which seeks to pro-
tect life through judicial processes The
crime was atroclous and mysterious 1t re-
vealed a crafty hand. 1t suggested untold
possibilities for murder and revenge 1t
uncovered strong clues to another foul
crime of the same sort, and freed the
imagination for wild and terrifying flights
suggesting all the horrors of the middle
ages accentuated by the use of modern
facilities for evii-doing. With character
istic sensa tionalism New York accepted the
issues of the case as a matter for daily
scrutiny. and for more than a year the
great community has rocked with partisan
ship over this cause. The prominence of
the accused through his family and the
circumstances of the charge. together with
the necessarily impaIpable nature of the
proof adduced. tended to make the trial one
OF the most extraordinary in point of inter-
est and as to length ever conducted even in
the metropolis. the scene of many prolonged
legal hearings. The evidence was neces-
sarily circumstantial. A motive was shown
opportunity was presupposed in view of the
medium employed. and, what was most con-
demnatory in many minds. the accused was
shown to have an intimate knowledge OF
the properties of dangerous chemicals ant
ready access to them in the course of his
business employment. But the chief con
Germ in the trial was aroused by the battl,
between experts for the prosecution ant
counsel for the defense constituting a pro
longed engagement which revealed tn,
weaknesses as well as the utility of thi
kind of testimony. The great surprise @

Maud Come, AEitatOr.

From the ST. Paul Dispatch.
Miss Come would emphasize the hyphen
in '.Irish-Americans' with stroke as
broad as the Atlantic ocean. she would
keep the spirit of the Irishman in thfali to
the native isle wherever he goes, she would
acknowledge no allegiance, which super
cedes allegiance TO the home country; she
would undermine American institutions by
a half-hearted devotion to America; in
short, she would create a great class OF
.'outlanders' in this country, whose every
thought should be for Ireland: whose dol
lars and endeavors should go for the Irish
cause.
We will tolerate no kind of hyphenated
Americanism. We expect that when for
eiguer comes to this country he burns his
political bridges behind him. We expect hin
to sympathiZe with his mother country, be
1t Norway or Finland or Italy or Ireland oil
the Transvaal, so far as any question oi
sentiment" is concerned. This land is tht

they are. oppressed, but it is not recruit

For Hawaiian Government.

No time should be lost by the House in
getting to work upon the bill just reported
from the committee on territories by Chair
man Knox providing a form of government
for Hawaii. The situation in the islands
has become deplorable as a result of con-
gressional inaction at the last session
There has been virtually only the thinnest
inJerposi5ien of government between the
people and absolute anarchy and it speaks
eloduentIy for the good order in the islands
and the character of the people that serious
disturbances have not resulted from the
anomalous conditions. Annexed but not
provided for. the group has drifted along
in the tide Of circumstance. until now a
great visitation Of disease has precipitated
an emergency calling for a radical action
of some kind. The President has issued a
call for the legislature to meet, although
he had previously held that the legislature
was npn-existent. Had government of the
kind generally outlined by the Knox bill
Eeen provided a year ago this emergency
would not have brought such serious possi-
bilities for friction and trouble Ii Is to be
hoped that the dilemma of the Hawaiians
will now appeal strongly enough to the
houses to spur them on 10 the prompt pas
sage of some bill granting them terrific
rial government, which will enable them
henceforth to conduct their own affairs
nnder the general guidance Of a presiden.
