The Presidents refusal today to modify
the death sentence imposed upon Smell.
who is to be hanged next week for the
murder of Lizzie Weisenberger. is in ac-
cord with the public sentiment, strongly
aroused by the atrocious crime. The plea
of insanity urged in behalf of the murderer
was of particularly dangerous character
IL admitted. Insanity such as was alleged
to have caused him to kill the child might
readily be averred to excuse any violent
act and the community felt greatly relieved
when the defense was rejected by the jury.
and it is further gratified that the highest
authority has refused clemency. Smell s
crime was exceptionally revolving. and
II unpublished to the full extent OF the law
would be most demoraliZing. Public pa
tience was somewhat strained by the de-
lay in bringing Smell to trial. the people
demurring at the absence of a grand jury
to indict and petit jury to try the case
during the summer recess. 1t was felt that
so gross an outrage should be punished
swiftly as was done in the case Of Ford
the slayer of the Kreglo girl. The District
however, has in the main sustained a
high reputation for administering justice
promptly and the execution of Smell well
within a year after the crime will ex-
emplify further the certainty and dignity
of the laws retributive course in a we'll
regulated community.

Editorial correspondence of The Star,
printed today. discusses the question Of the
relationship in government between the
Philippines and the United States which
will best promote the welfare of both
Americans and Filipinos.
Flexibility in the legal systems to be ap-
piled to the various parts of the archi-
pelago is essential Uniformity In duties
with the United States would be disastrous
and riot-breeding in its effect upon the
FIlipinos. Full national citizenship would
be a burden. not a privilege. for the mass
of the people of the Philippines
The policy of the expansionists requires
tfat the Philippines be treated as territory
belonging to the United States and not as
ali integral part of the Union In order that
through their possession without injury to
the republic our Asiatic trade may be
vastly developed and our hold upon the Pa
cif1c, the great ocean of the commercial
future, may be strength hened and confirmed
The policy of the anti-expansionists also
demands continuous treatment of the
islands territory subject to the disposal
of Congress, in order that there may be
left the possibility, after full examination
ard discussion, of cutting the til which
binds the Philippines to the United States
on the ground that 1t is injurious TO both
pc pies.
The interests and welfare of the FiEpinOs
themselves demand this II atmcnt. in order
that there may be a consdera. e fieXibility
in the government and laws applied to
them which would be impossible if the
Islands, an integral part of the United
States, We're sub .ected to the cons i.utional
limitation concerning uniformity of Cuties
and the other restrictive provisions appli-
cable to the states of the Union.

John y. Long.

In considering the result at Philadelphia
a word is due as TO the candidacy of S ,cre-
tary Long for Vice President. Next TO that
Of Gov. Roosevelt. his name was probably
the strongest mentioned in connection with
that Office. The first suggestion of it, in

and the complete political agreement exist
ing between him and his chief. acted as
assurance everywhere that in the event of
his nomination and election the vice presi-
dency would be filled by one In every way
worthy of it, and one certain to acQuit him
self perfectly in it.
To these compliments, so generously and
sincerely expressed. Mr.. Long made but
one reply: and that of itself showed how
well entitled he was to them. He would
make no canvass for the nomination, he
said. but If 1t came to him through the par
TALLY Of his party he would esteem 1t at
once a pleasure and duty to accept the
honor. 1t has gone by an overwhelming
expression Of partiality to another. and Mr..
Long most becomingly acquiesces in the ac-
ton taken and pleuges the ticket unquali-
fled support.
In the circumstances Mr.. Long has
sustained no defeat. His prestige Is abso-
lutey undiminished. His whole course
from the beginning has been a credit to
himself to his state. to his party, and to
American citizenship.

1t Is interesting to recall at this time that
the republicans have on several occasions
gone to New York for their vice presden-
tial candidate and that they have never
failed To find an excellent man. Their rule
has been to select their candidate for first
place from the country west of the Allie
ghenies, and this has made the east their
hunting ground for completing their ma
tional ticket.
Mr.. Wheeler. who ran with Mr. Hayes in
1876, was an able and upright man. al
though lacking. his chief was, in snowy
qualities He serving at the time with
credit in Congress. and all who knew him
put high valuation upon his qualities.
He carried himself well in the trying scenes
Just preceding his inauguration, and after
wards with equal success while presiding
over the Senate. There was never room for
q moments doubt as to his capacity to fill
the first place as acceptably he was
nliing the second.
General Arthur was nominated against
the private protest of Mr.. Conkling. who
vas in towering passion over the defeat
of General Grant for first place. But 1t
proved to be a very wise selection. General
Arthur added strength to the ticket both In
New York and In Indiana which were the
pivotal states in the campaign of 1850; and
when at a later day he was called to the
White House as the result of great trag-
edy he demonstrated the possession of all
the capacity necessary to the discharge of
the duties OF the presidency. as well as

Director Merriam deserves universal COM
miseration for the roasting in store for
him from every large city in the country

cisco. Boston. Philadelphia-perhaps even
washington-are watching the chief tally

servative-win make an unjust showing
against IL Chicago has even gone so far
in suspicion as to organize city census
of its own. for the purpose of proving the
official figures too low. Chicago's desired

suit of the rivalry for rank in the list of
cities there is the most eager enterprise
now on the part of each community to
learn in advance the returns of the EMU
merators. and the director has had to
threaten the supervisors with instant dis
missal if they allow their aggregates to
escape.
This spirit is in certain sense entirely
commendable and desirable, although 1t re-
veals the cityward tendency of the popula-
ton, which many observers regard as an
ominous sign. The cities grow largely at
the expense of the country districts. EX-
pansion OF boundaries accounts for GER
tain measure of this growth, but by far the
larger part is due to the stream of migra-
tion from the farms on the part of young
people Yet farm conditions were never so
attractive in their own aspect as today
The average farmer has advantages which
"a few decades ago were luxuries for the
city dweller. The railroads give him access
TO the culture and opportunities of the city
and his prosperity Is in its own measure
greater than that of the average worker in
town Yet his sons and daughters continue
to move into the crowded centers. causing
a condition which this census will aid in
exploiting perhaps to the revelation of
serious problem in our sociology
so the conflict now opening between the
cities for a good showing in this decennial
count will have its sober as well as Its
amusing phase.

paternalism from which the reformer may
well shrink in view of South Cardinals ex-
periences. The city now has wide au-
thority over the saloon by means of the
average license law. which gives the excise
authorities power to close places which are
clearly immoral. In this city the courts
have held that the excise board can with
hold a license from an applicant without
assigning a reason. With such power it
Is possible to exercise vast influence for
the regeneration of the low grog shops that
are today the greatest moral menace in
city life. Bad liquor and evil surroundings
and suggestions combine to ruin many
patron in these places. whereas with more
wholesome conditions thrown around the
deplorable traffic genuine temperance work
could be visibly advanced. The Denver
minister's thought Is a good one. though

MIR. Morton was the candidate in 1888. and
he also brought strength to the republican

very popular with senators on both sides of
