The Asslssin's Trial.

The decision of the two distinguished
lawyers selected by the court to defend
the assassin of the President to accept
the unpleasant assignment will be well
coined by the entire country. 1t gives
assurance that the trial will be con-
Quoted with decorum and dignity, and
that nothing spectacular will be
brought into it by the defence. Had
these two gentlemen declined to serve
we cannot tell who might have taken
up the work Of the defence, or in what
spirit it would have been managed
The attorneys representing the de-
fendant may regard it as their duty tc
interpose the plea of insanity, but we
can be sure that it will not be done cap
tiously. The actions of the defendant
himself. as reported, are peculiar, but
| they are not Indicative of insanity. He
stands, or sits. mute in court, but he
talks freely and nationally in Jail He
is reported as being very anxious to see
the newspapers. and it is gratifying to
be informed that he is not allowed to
do So His only motive is TO learn what
is being said about him, and it is just
as well not to feed his vanity by per-
mitting him to see his name in print
1t may be that there is a degree OF
consistency in his refusal to speak in
court. Having announced that he does
| not believe in governments, he may
have intelligence enough to know that
| for him to make a defence would be q
| recognition of the necessity for govern
ment- If so, he stands a point higher
| In the matter of mere consistency thar
do those of more intelligence whose
teachings have brought him where he
is. They never fail to take advantage
of all the protection tirat the law af-
fords.
But all this apart, the last honors
having been paid to the illustrious vic
tim, but one thing remains to ring dowr
| the curtain on the tragedy, and that 1:
| to vindicate the law by trying the as
sassin and bringing him to justice ir
| the most dignifed and expeditions way

FRENCH TREATMENT OF ANARCHY.

The assassination of President Carnot
reused the French Parliament to the need
of more stringent laws against the prop
agation and practices of anarchi5m.. A
law was passed which made anarchist
propaganda a crime to be punished with
fine and imprisonment. 1t was necessary
to define what was meant by anarchist
propaganda, and it was made to include
advocacy or approval of murder, arson
and the like. whether declared in public
or private. and the circulation of anar-
chist literature. The courts were given
the power TO substitute banishment to
penal colony for life for Imprisonment in
France.
The law is also notable for its provis-
ion to prevent anarchist criminals from
exhibiting themselves in public posing
as heroes on the scanoid. This WIS sug-
gested by scenes that occurred ct the
trial of Anarchist Henry, who gave vent
to his anarehiStic views while trial
The law, therefore. gave the courts power
to prohibit newspapers. under severe PEN
alties, from publishing the details of such
trials. The convicted man was also de-
prived of the privilege of seeing visitors.
The details of his execution were not TO
be published. and his burial was to be
secret. All this was designed to prevent
the worship of a malefactor as hero
while living, and the paying of posthum-
Gus honorS at the place of his interment-
1t was believed that the notoriety that
such men obtain by their crime Is an in
ducement to others to follow their bad
example.
Several other countries Of Europe fol-
ioWed france In passing laws against an
arehy. Among these were Italy. Ger
many, Switzerland and Austria. Spain

70 be the most severe of any in Europe

THE LAW STILL TRIUMPHANT.
Assassin Failed in His Ultimate Aim.
Says DIR. Mchim

The Rev. DR.. r. H. McKim, rector of
the Church of the Epiphany, Street,
near Thirteenth Street. northwest, deliv-
cred a most impressive sermon yesterday.
The church was well filled, and the ser
vices were in keeping with the solemnity
of the occasion
For his text DR.. McKiITi chose Amos.
iii:e: Shall there be evil in a city. and
the Lord has not done it, About this
text the pastor wove a eulogy at once pa
the course of his sermon the pastor re-
ferred feelingiy and tenderly to the sor-
rowing widow of the late President NO

said DR.. Mekim-
1--WE meet today under the shadow of 4
great national atfiiction- The President
of the United States is dead-slain by the
hand of an assassin. We are mourning to-
day not only our ruler. but our friend. A
sense of personal loss holds today the
hearts of all the people. We watched in
vain by the bedside of the great Mckin-
ley. bed of sorrow and Of pain. We
prayed that God might he pleased 10
spare the life of our President and friend.
and for time it seemed our prayers
would be answered. But our hopes were
too high. and were suddenly dashed to
the ground Soon that brave heart Of
our ruler was stilled in death
But has the bullet OF the assassin
reached its ultimate object?" asked DR..
McKim. Il say not. Order. Justice, and
government are only strengthened by the
wicked shot fired at Buffalo ten days ago.
The order of society has not been tric<cd.

TRUSTS AND THE TARIFF.

There are certain so-called trusts which

BEING DEAD, YET sPEAKETH.
The Voice of the Martyr, Says DR..
Macleod, Lives in Triumph.

A vast congregation thronged the First
PRESBYTERIAN Church at the memorial
services yesterday morning. A musical
programme of selected numbers and the
elouuence of the Rev. DIR. Donald Mac
Iced pastor of the Church, and Greed NJ
Fulton swayed the multitude to tears
For the text of his sermon, the Rev.
pr Macleod took Hebrews xi:4, and in
the course of his sermon, said in part;
During McKinley's first campaign a
prominent man, who spent day with
him and watched him receiving visiting
delegations from different parts OF the
country, was amazed at his ability 10
make addresses and extend greetings
throughout the whole day. When the Wis
itor expressed his surprise to the Presi-
dent the latter replied: L do not mlnd
the ordeal 1 love the people.
THE nation today expresses It's graft
tude for this beautiful sentiment by the
greatest tribute Of honor and affection
that has ever been offered to public
man. We love him because he first loved
ms. The anarchist who made the attack
thought he was striking fataf Dlow at
the Executives life and influence, even
as the prince of darkness. through the
instrumentality of the high priest Judas
and the Roman soldiers. thought he would
destroy the power and influence OF Christ
But even as Christ survived the tragedy
of Calvary and his influence Is growing
with every passing day. even so Mr Nc
Kinley survives the attack of the assas-
sin. Though dead. he yet speaketh;
Though his voice has been heard ana
needed by the nation for the last twenty
years never has he spoken with such tri-
umphal voice as he has since he met the
tragedy that eliminated in his death
The nation should fall into harmony
with the divine purpose, crowning him
with Immortality. We heartily sympa-
thize with the movement to erect a tri-
umphal arch in this city. The nation
cannot make a too great sacrifice to i'm
mortaliZe his virtues. The revelation of
such character in history is the hope
of future generations"

ton made an address referring TO the dead
Presidents early life, his manhood. his
public career and his home life. ID. c

OUR PLACE AMONG NATIONS.

Sir Robert Gifien. the eminent statisti-
clan. in an address before the British
Science Association in London yesterday,
made a reassuring statement as to the
future domination of the white races,
based on the fact that their increase has
been rapid during the last century. while
the black and yellow races are nearly sta
tionary As this was preliminary to
classification of the world powers of the
future. it is interesting to see that Sir
Robert admitted on scientific grounds the
certainty of more rapid growth of the
United States as an International factor
than could be predicted of any of the
ether Powers That, of course, would be
he consequence of greater Industrial and
commercial strength, which has firmer
basis in increase of population and large
natural resources than Is the case with
regard to any other of the great Powers.
Il is worthy of note that in all the esti-
mates of scientists on this subject the
United States has been excepted from
the possible hindrance of hostile combi-
nations. as If by virtue of its position
and resources it were considered too
strong to meet with permanently sue
,essful opposition.-New York CONNER

Crime and Its Prevention.

Few subjects have been more volu-
minously discussed than that of crime.
The debate has taken a wide range,
covering the nature of crime, the men
tai condition which leads to its perpe-
tration, and the methods to be adopted
for its punishment and prevention.
1t is not always easy to draw the line
clearly between acts which are criminal
Snd those which are not A criminal
act is always wrongful, but wrongful
acts are not always criminal. In COM
mon understanding. criminal act is
one which the law recognizes as wrong
1ul. and for which a penalty is prescrib-
ed. But the crimes of which the law
takes notice are themselves divided into
two classes: Those which are wrong
in their own nature, and those which
are simply wrongful because the law
prohibits them. Among the first are
murder and robbery; among the latter
are such offences as doing business
without license. and violating special
rules prescribed by State and municipal
laws. Even among those which are
usually elassed as bad in themselves
are some concerning the wrongfuiness
of which there are wide differences OF
opinion. Dueling, for example, is high
ly criminal in some civilized countries
while in others it either is not crime
at all or a very trivial one There are,
however, some acts of such a character
that civilization everywhere regards
them as inexcusably wrong, and as
meriting punishment. These range
from deliberate and premeditated mur-
der down to petit larceny and crimes
OF similar grade.
Speaking generally. it may be said
that the crimes which are wrongful in
themselves are those which directly and
Intentionally infringe the rights of
others in their persons OF property. II
is to these classes OF cases that the dis
cussions referred to have been chiefly
directed. Some have claimed that the
instinct which prompts a man to MUIR
der or rob another is a species of in
sanity. This claim brings up the ques-
ton of what insanity is, a question
which is well-nigh inexhaustible, for
there are almost as many different
kinds of insanity as there are recog-
nized cases. II may be conceded that
there Is something wrong with the
mind OF any person who will. in cold
blood, deprive another of life, but Il
seems far-fetched in the extreme to re-
gard him as insane merely because he
perpetrates such deed. The average
murderer knows full well that his aci
was wrongful Not infrequently this
crime is committed in revenge for some
real or fancied injury. which shows con-
clusively that the murderer regarded q
trespass upon his own rights as being

As We rather expected. the effect of
General Kitcheners proclamation has not
been in the line of bringing the South
African war to a Sudden close. Yester-
day it was reported that in an affair with
Boer force under Botha in person the
British lost sixteen killed, twenty-nine
wounded and one hundred and fifty taken
prisoners. Kruger's commandant general

It is expected that Admiral Dewey will
arrive here from Canton this morning to
call the Schley Court of Enquiry to order
at Il o'clock. All parties are understood
to be ready to proceed. and it is reported
that Rear Admiral Schley is entirely sat
isfied with the selection of Rear Admiral
Ramsay as the third member of the
tribunal. Therefore, no reason appears
why the business in hand should not be
disposed of without delay The sooner
the Samspon scandal can be vivisected
and disinfected, the better for the navy
and the country.
The Washington times., 1901-09-20

The prosperity of recent years has not
been confined to the United States by
any means. 1t has, in fact. been quite
general in the leading European coun-
tries The beginning there was late in
1895 and early in 1896. Within the last
year there has been something of r9-
action, but that does not affect the truth
of the general proposition that those coun-
tries were benefited by the revival of
trade as well as ourselves. In this con-
nection it may not be untimely to note
that for five years the tendency of wages
in Great Britain has been upward. 1t
it estimated that during the year 1909
there was a gain to the wage workers of
that country in earnings to the amount
of thirty million dollars. This can
hardly be taken as an indication of the
national decay of which we have lately
been hearing SO much.

Of any one of the late President s MIN
istcrial advisers.
For several days past there have been
suggestions in various newspapers that.
on account OF his devotion to Mr.. Me
Kinley. and the onerous and dehca'e
duties of his position. especially during
the awful crisis at Buffalo, Mr. CofteiSou
ought to be provided for by President
Roosevelt. Such a suggestion is IN 'he
nature of an affront to both gentlemen
MIR Roosevelt. far from regarding ms
invitation to Mr. Cortelyou to remain IL
his old position as benefacuon, ought
to be congratulated upon the latter
Willingness to retain it, No consratula-
tions are due Mr.. Cortelyou. People Of
his experience and demonstrated abih-
ties do not need to be provided ior-
They have only to indicate what they
want in life to get it. The work that he
has accomplished in the White House
since he became in name what he had
previously been in fact-the PRESIDENTS
right hand, and what in Europe would
be termed minister of the household
has been marvellous. Few Administra-
tions can be remembered by living men
in which the transaction of business at
| the Executive Mansion was as easy ana
pleasant as it has been since its detaiis
passed into the hands of Secretary Cor
| telvou. We all know how his courtesy
and diplomacy have been appreciated
by the public and by the late President
and everybody connected with his Ad-
ministrat;on. 1t is not too much to de-
| clare that much of the popularity of
| that Administratio ton is due to MIR. Cor
telyou's service in its behalf No super
animated servants shelf and pension is
