THE BLrsTER or ROBERT THE TESTY

THE BLUSTER OF ROBERT THE TESTY.
1t is pity we have not more Otfceholders
like Mr. James d. Bell. of the New East River
Bridge Commission. to remind the Mayor OF
his manners when he takes it into his head to
make an appearance OF austere efficiency by
abusing his subordinates in public for acts for
which he himself is to blame. Mr.. Bells an
swer to Mayor Van Wyck that his criticisms
are "f1ippant and impudent." and his remark
What | should like to know is, What's the
job?' is severe but Is apparently deserved
A few days ago the Mayor introduced IN
meeting of the Board of Estimate and Appor
tionment a resolution calling on the Bridge Com
mission TO take immediate steps to condemn
land for approaches, and indulged in public
scOldnG of the Commission for squandering
time in purchasing small sites at private sale
and doing nothing at condemnation. In reply
Mr.. Bell shows that in March last the Commits
sion did exactly what the Mayor now complains
it has not done. but that its efforts were long
frustrated by the CarelessneSs stupidity or stub
bornness of this same Board of Estimate and
AppOrtiOnment, over which the Mayor himself
presides This Board held up proceedings
until July 10. and then it was not until October
that the Mayors appOintee and trusted assO-
ciate, the Corporation Counsel, secured the ap-
pontmcnt of commissioners to appraise the
land for the Brooklyn approach. and for some
unknown reason he has not yet succeeded in
getting the court in this county to name men to
carry on condemnation proceedings for the Man
haitian side of the bridge. The Bridge Commits
sion meanwhile has been helpless.
All this, Mr.. Bell points out. has gone on
under the eyes of this sharp Mayor. who is pre-
sumed to have at least rudimentary knowledge
OF the workings of the city government nomi-
naly under his control. But apparently he Is
as ignorant OF facts connected with important
business like that of the bridge as he was of
open and notorious corruption of his police force

eyes and look From the beginning OF his term
Mr.. Van Wyck has had nm idea that II was
becoming in him to treat his subordinates after
the manner of a testy and hot tempered school
master From time to time he likes 10 show off
by sharply abusing them. At first ne devoted
himself TO hOdOvcr refOrmerS, particularly in
the Board of Education. but they had too much
self-reSpect to feel insuted by such cheap clap
trap. Most of his own appointees have been
afraid of him, but Mr. Bell says that the Mayor
is welcome TO his place If he wants It, and pro-
ceedS to free his mind over the Mayors "impu-
dence" 1t Will be interesting to see II the

THE PATERSON VERDICT.

The finding of the jury in the Paterson MUIR
der cases will. we think, impress the great
majority of people as doing substantial JuSuce
and reaching about the conclusion that jury
anywhere in this country would have reached.
The defendants. If they are we'll advised, will
accept the situation and not subject themselves
TO the danger that another jury might mete out
TO them harSher penalty. No doubt verdict
I'm the first degree was called for if II was be-
leved that the young woman was killed d!
drugs administered for the purpose Of commit
ting a crime even if her death was not actually
intended. Clearly also the stories Of the men
were not believed. Apparently, however the pos
sibility that they might be true to some extent
had some influence The result is not strictly
logical hut nevertheless entirely reasonable
More important than the character Of the YER
dict reached is the swiftneSs with which it was
reached In this respect it was model trial
which should be studied as an example by other
courts, particularly in our own State OF New
York. The delays in bringing on trials ana the
slow steps pursued In them have become
public scandal and practical denial OF justice.
If the fault is with judges for failure 10
hold lawyers within proper limits In the e1ami-
nation of jurors and the presentation of evil
dence then the judges should realize the public
demand for reform. If the trouble is with the
law, and our code gives larger scope lot ullaloFE
tactics than the New-Jersey statutes. our legis-
lators should be impressed with the necessity of
enacting something like the New-Jersey laws in
this State. The progressively increasing delays
and the multiplication of techniCalities for the
defeat of Justice have been a serious reproach TO
the Anglo-Saxon race in this country and It's
boasted capacity in Jurisprudence. The essen
tial features of our English law have been so
discredited by their abuse that many thoughtful
men have discussed the possibility OF turning TO
some other system Ike that of the civil law.
1t is time that our highly technical laws of
evidence and our method of jury trial vindi
Gated themselves as instruments of justice under
present conditions Therefore the Paterson trial.
with its prOmptneSs and sensible finding should
receive attention. II shows that Anglo Saxon
law properly administered is still efficient; that
weeks do not need to be consumed in the cross
questioning Of jurors on their knowledge of all
the sciences 10 prove their competency in an
important case, and that the expenditure of vast
sums for a retinuc of experts to Oyerwhelm de-
PENDANTS by the mere weight of numbers is not
necessary to reach conviction when there is
reasonable ground for conviction And
tainly when prosecution is undertaken on
scale OF expenditures which no accused person
the powers Of the State are misused. We should,
while cutting off useless commissions and intro
ducing economies also give attention to looping
off the abuses in our courts. which al present
constituted offer many unreasonable obstacles
TO the vindcation of innocent men well as to
the conviction of the guilty.

BRUTALITY AT WEST POINT.

The progress of the Congressional investiga-
tion at West Point more than confirms the
strong belief created by the military inquiry
that haZ!rg il IL practised there includes vari-
Gus acts of abOminabe meanness and cruelty
As we have already said In commenting on the
earlier testimony, il is probably impracticable
and for that reason if for no other inadvisable,
to attempt to prevent every exercise of dis
cipllne by means Of which the upper class men
are in the habit of giving 10 the newcomers
irregular instruction TO the proper carriage
and demeanOr OF soldier. President Had
ley, In recently informing us that hazlng no
longer exists in a serious form at Yale, added
that the academic law took 10 account of trfes.
This was a practical and sensible acknowledge
ment that boys will be boys" and so long as
that axiom holds good more or less unprescribed
attention is bound to be paid at West Point and
elsewhere TO the supposed shortcomings of fresh
men, not without generally wholesome results
But there is not the slightest excuse for con
founding such trifes with the outrageous meth

Military Academy have been frequently. and. it
would appear, habitually, subjected by the upper
class men, under the pretence that IL is they,
rather than the professors who charged
with teaching the younger cadets the carriage
and duties of a soldier. Even If all the other
serious counts In the Indictment, including the
sO-called exercising to and beyond the limit
Of ordinary endurance, should be dismissed
from consideration, the single fact established
beyond the possibility of doubt by the cred
itably frank and truthful testimony of the
cadets themselves, that fighting Is a con-

E&TIM4TES OE SECCESN

Not long ago a citizen of a certain town I'm
this country died. Though respected by all he
had been In no sense marked or prominent
man. After his graduation from college he
married and engaged in calling that meant q
life of constant drudgery for n slender salary.
But lie did his work faithfully for upward OF
forty years, too busy with the duties that came
each day to his hand to think of finding nm oc-
cupation that would bring him a larger return
of fortune or fame. He reared Il large family
Of boys and girls in honor and honesty. He
sent some of the boys to college and put others
in business AS for the girls, he seconded all
the efforts of their mother To make them good
true and pure in all respects worthy to be
the mothers of noble men. As a citizen and n
neighbOr he aimed to have conscience void of
offence toward all men. He was honest ND
right, truthful and kindly and all in such n quiet
matter of fact way that hardly any one ever
noticed IT. His character, indeed was so much
n part OF him that the world thought he inst
had to act he did, and the world was right
in thus thinking. So he died, and outside of his
family and few friends his death was an nm
noticed incident. Dead? Really! Too bad;

He was graduated from the United States Naval
Academy az Annapolis in 1852 at the head Of
his class. and he was sent by the Navy Depart
ment TO the Royal Naval College at Greenwich
England. to take a special course in naval
architecture. After completing that course he
was appointed assistant naval constructor in
the United States Navy in 1854 He was at
ROach's shipyard when the cruisers Chicago
and Boston and other ships of the Navy were
being constructed there. In 1890 he designed
the battleshipS oregon and Indiana He re-
signed his position in the Navy in 1894 and
became the experimenting constructor at
Cramps shipyard. where he remained while the
Indiana, the Massachusetts, the New-York, the
Columbia and the Minneapolis were being oult
for the Government, and the St Paul and the
St Louis were being built for the American
Line.
Mr. Nixon then became shipbutlder on MS

money making is not wholly true. But they
do think-many of them-that no man can De
really successful unless he has in some way or
other lifted himself above the mass of common
men, This is the weak spot in every democ-
racy; 1t distrusts the standards it has set for 1t
self and therefore it often happens that the
men who loudly vociferate about the equality
of all men are most anxious TO surpass their
fellow men in some way. And as the possess
sion of money enables even the most ordinary
man TO make himself a parsonage to the multi
tude. il is that which Is most commonly de-
sired AS a nation it must be admitted that
we are lacking in Il sense of perspective. We
are in danger of overlooking virtues that are
passive or types of moral heroism that are unem-
phatic We have read so many stories of poor
barefooted country boys becoming rich and ia
nous that such boy who simply becomes
respected but unknown man. like the one Of
whom have just spoken. is likely to be con-
sidered a failure. The fact that he performed
the common duties of life uncOmmOnly well.
that he reared family of good men and women
to strengthen and uphold the State. and that
he left TO his neighbors an example of noble
manhood, is forgotten or ignored, and ii is only
remembered that he somehow failed 10 get his
name before the public.
The men who have written their names on
the scroll of fame, the school readers put it,
deserve to hold n place in the regard of the
world. This country has produced many such
men and will produce many more. But to
identify success with fame would be a fatal
mistake. The pillars of the State not al
ways or altogether the men whose names
are on every lip because it has happened TO
them to work in the sight of the public. The
real strength of the country lies in the I'M
counted multitude of its good, upright and con-
scientious men and women, few of whom can
ever hope for wealth or fame. and the great
ma iority of whom must be content to live lives
of unheroic drudgery and toll.
