A TRAVESTY ON JUSTICE.

One person has been tried, con-
victed and sentenced to death by a
Kentucky court for the murder Of
Governor GOebel ;anOther, convicted
and sentenced to the penitentiary for
life as an accessory, and last week
another, Henry Youtsey, was tried,
convicted and sentenced to life inn
prisOnment as accessory.
The trial of this latter in the phys
ical condition he was, is one Of the
judicial crimes of the age. From
utter collapse, bordering upon, if not
suffering actual, insanity, Youteey
has continued throughout the trial,
being confined to bed, nursed and
guarded in a room adjoining the
court room during the entire pro
ceedings. The Louisville Courier
Journal gives account of the pro-
ceedings:
"Youtsey was the first witness
called for the defense this afternoon,
and an intensely dramatic scene fol
lowed. The defendants counsel in
sisted that he be put on the witness
stand, and he was carried in on his
bed and left lying lengthwise before
the jury. He appeared to be sleep
ing and made no replies to the ques-
lions asked him by Mr.. Nelson.
There was perfect quiet in the court
ROOM and the only noise was occa-
stoned by the jurors who leaned over
IN their seats to get a good look at
the man. He did not move a muscle.

each year the struggle becomes more
difficult. AS the race feeling between
whites and blacks give place to the
class feeling between rich and poor,
white employers will incur less Odium
by employing negro labor, and white
employees will be less able to stand
as a unit in resisting the inevitable
competition. At Lindale I heard
nothing about this peril, though
even in this white village the number
of idle men was increased by the en-
ployment of negroes from the sur
rounding country to serve as team
sters and perform other outside
labor. At Concord, N. c., however,
the negro problem was the most inn
portant that presented itself. = x

negro of the town had recently laid

Tennessee, Texas, Virginia and West

more than one-third of the popula-
ton of the entire country and just
one-third of the States without ref
erence to the Territories.

Mrs. Youtsey and the trained nurse
stood near the foot of the bed,
"'Mr. Youtsey, are you the de-
PENDANT in this case?" asked Mr..
Nelson, in a loud voice.
"No response came, and Mr.. Mel
son repeated the question still there
was no answer, and the prisoner
made no apparent effort to reply.
"'Mr. Youtsey, how old + you?'
The man remained as so much
stone.
"Youtsey was carried back to the
petit jury room, and then MI. Mel
son made a speech, arguing for the
continuance of the trial.
"Wel may the Louisville Dispatch
exclaim that 1T is doubtful if a more
brutal injustice was ever committed
in an American COURT"
The fellow may be guilty as
charged, and may deserve the pun
ishment decided, but he is entitled to
a fair trial while in a physical CON
dition to confront his accusers. This
latter he evidently was not, and the
former therefore was not possible,
as contemplated by the law. A jury
has already convicted the person it
said did the actual killing, and an
other (Caleb Powers) Is being an ac-
cessory. At the worst Youtsey was
only charged with this latter offense.
A postponement until his condition
would justify orderly proceedings
could not have been improper, nor
rendered less certain a punishment
to fit his crime. But humanity re-
volts at the cold blooded prosecution
and punishment of a person bereft of
mind and physically helpless.

THE NEW CONDITIONS IN CUBA.

Report Of Major General WOOd-Three
Thousand Public Schools Established EN-
pIoying 5000 Teachers and Attended by
$50, 900 Children-The Government Self
Supporting and Has 81, 500, 900 in the
Treasury.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 3.-Major Gen
eral Leonard Wood to-day made a
Statement as to the contents of his
civil report as Governor General of
Cuba. 1t is in part as follows:
Correctional courts have been es-
tablished throughout the larger cities
whe1e the trial is oral and summary,
as in our police courts. Their sue
cess has been phenomenal and while
opposed at first, every town is now
anxious to have one and orders al
ready have been published establish
ing thirty more. The writ of habeas
corpus has been published to take
effect on December 1st of this year.
During the present year over
5000 public schools have been estab-
liShed-3, 800 teachers have been en-
ployod in them, and $50, 900 children
are in the schools. This number is
constantly increasing and by the end
of the present school year it is be-
lieved that we shall have $50, 900 chill
dren in school. The largest num-
Der at school under the Spanish rule
was between 26, 900 and 80, 900.
1.-The United States troops have
not been used during the present
year for the maintenance of order.
The police work in the rural
districts is done by the rural guard
which amounts to about 1900 men
for the entire islund of Cuba. These
men and their officers ere all Cubans.
Sanitary work of great impOr-
lance has been carried on from one
end of Cuba to the other. The two
eastern provinces in the island of
Cuba for the first time have passed
through a summer without a case Of
yellow fever, and in general there
has been a great improvement in
health throughout the island. Plans
in detail are now ready for adver-
tisement for paving and sewerage in
a thoroughly f~rst-class and modern
manner the city of Havana and its
suburbs, and there is every reason to
believe that in Il few years yellow
same control as now exists in ia
maica.
"A thoroughly efficient mail ser
vice has been established and is be-
ing conducted with efficiency and
economy.
The financial condition of the
country is excellent. The govern
ment is entirely self-supporting and
Treasury has an unemcumbered bal
ance of 81, 500, 900.
The tobacco crop of last year was
an immense one. This year the
sugar crop will be between $780, 900
and 6OO, OGO tons, and if the present
prices continue the money obtained
by the planters will equal the amount
received by the planters for their
great crop of 1000, 900 tons. The
value of this years crop of sugar
and the coming tobacco crop will be
conservatively 800, 600, 900.
THE condition of the people of
the island, to the best of my know1-
edge and belief, is one of content
ment and they realize that wonder
full, progress has been made and they
feel as a people kindly toward, and
have faith in the people of the United
States"
