old lady, according to the Chicago Times
Herald, 81 wonder where the police are
Poor boy! Poor boy! He doesn't look at
face he has, what innocent blue eyes. All,
how my heart bleeds for his mother.
Just think! A few years ago she could
hold him in her arms and press his
smooth, soft cheeks against her own, and
he would tell her all his joys and sorrows
and lay his head upon her knee at night
and say his prayers.
"Oh, it is too bad, too bad, that such
things must happen in this world. Who
knows what sin may be in his heart?
Surely he could not have been driven by
hunger to steal. for he is well dressed
and has not the look of one who has
been starving. Oh, horrorsl Perhaps he
has committed murder
"Ah, 1 can see it all. In his boyish de-
sire to be thought well of by unworthy
companions he has allowed himself to
become intoxicated, and, not knowing
what he was doing, he has quarreled and
perhaps done that which will cost him
his life. 1t is pitiful pitiful, pitiful If
1 could only go to his poor mother and
do something to comfort her in this hour
of her humiliation and grief Oh, f.
Madame, 1 hope you will excuse me
for interrupting you" said professor
from the nearby university. "There is
no occasion for such pity as you have
permitted to creep into your heart. The
young man is merely going to attend
services in the chapel and has secured
police protection against the hazers. This
is an age of progress"

FINDING FAULT WITH MIR. HILL.

Mr.. Bryan, in the latest issue of his pa
per- 1.-THE Commoner,' the issue of March
%. criticises rather severely the letter
which ex-senator Hill of New York re-
Gently wrote to the Crescent Democratic
Club of Baltimore, on the occasion of its
annual banquet. He seems to be no bet
ter satisfied with what Mr.. Hill wrote
than he was with what Mr.. Cleveland
wrote In Mr.. Bryans opinion Mr.. Hill
is ION dangerous ground" The sentence
in Mr.. Hills letter which seems to be
especially Objectionable to Mr.. Bryan is
the following: Opposition to dangerous
corporate combinations should not be al
lowed to degenerate into indiscrlminate
attacks upon chartered rights" This,
from Mr. Bryan's point of view, is just
about what the Republicans say in de-
Tense of trusts. In fact, he insinuates
that Mr. Hill seems inclined to join with
Mr. Cleveland. Mr.. Whitney, ct al, in
their efforts to Republicanize the Demo
cratic party
This is a pretty broad charge to bring
against the three distinguished Demo-
Gratis named. If Mr.. Bryan continues to
print articles of this sort in his paper he
will do more to keep the two wings of
the Democracy apart than he has ever
done to bring them together. 1t may be
that Mr. Hill in his letter was rather
diplomatic in his way of stating his views
to the Crescent Democratic Club, but the
fact must not be overlooked that the po-
sition occupied by Mr.. Hill at this time
is quite different from that occupied by
Mr. Bryan The former is a Presidential
possibility, while the latter is a Presi-
Dental back number. Mr.. Hill is aiming
to get the party factions together with
the hope of winning the next Presidential
election. Mr.. Bryan's chief ambition now
appears to be to create the impression
that he made no mistakes in the cam
paign of 1900--that the things which We're
said and done in that campaign under
his direction and leadership were the
best that could have been said and done.
Having nothing to lose he is free to speak
his mind freely, and 10 say what he has
to say so plainly that there can be no
mistaking his meaning. But are his eff
forts in the direction of healing the diff
ferences in his party? 1t does not seem

CUBA GETTING READY TO ACCEPT.

The fact that the Committee on Rela-
tions of the Cuban Constitutional conven-
tion has made five different reports on the
question of accepting the Plat amend
ments is hopeful sign that the conven-
ton will finally accept the amendments
There are five members of the committee
and each member made a report, each re-
port different from every other. One re-
jected the amendments, two practically
accepted them and two virtually opposed
any further action by the convention in
respect to them
When the committee was appointed it
was the very general opinion that there
would be a unanimous report against
them. The feeling among business men
and property owners in Havana has had
the effect of greatly modifying the views
of lhe members of the committee. And 1t
is fair to assume that the same influence
will affect che action of the convention.
1t is thought in Washington and in Ha-
vana that the amendments win be ac-
cepted. There is no doubt that the great
majority of the convention believe that
their acceptance would be for the best in
terests of the island, but there are many
members who are influenced by the feel
ing which prevails among their constiI-
uents in the interior districts. They are
afraid that if they should vote for any
thing that seemed 10 limit abe independ-
ence of the people they would never again
stand a chance of being elected to an
office.
There are many members of the Ameri-
can Congress now in Cuba and the infor-
mation is that all of them are urging
the acceptance of the amendments. In
our dispatches a day or two ago IL was
said that Senator Cockrell of Missouri
had told some of the most influential of
the Cubans in Havana that the wisest
thing the convention could do was 10 ac-
cept them. He pointed out that the
chances were that nothing as liberal
could be expected from the next Con-
gress-that, in faT, if the matter were
opened again the probabilities were that
conditions more Objectionable to the Gu
bans who were now Directing would be
imposed upon the island. Such advice
coming from so distinguished a Democrat
is having considerable weight.
The matter may drag along for a month
or two, being discussed in the convention
in the meantime in desultory sort of
way, but when the time comes for acting
on the reports the amendments will be
accepted. and their acceptance no doubt
win be for the best interests of the Gu
ban people.

FUNsToN,s FAME.

Gen. Funston may not have the ability
to command brigade. but he has won
fame greater than that enjoyed by many
men who have successfully handled an
army The deed that has carried his
name to all parts of the world was dar-
ing one. The capture of Aguinaldo was
bold in conception and was skilfully ec-
complshed. Whatever credit is due for
the undertaking belongs to Gen. Funston.
Not everybody was inclined to take Sc
riously the stories which were told
of his previous feats of daring in
the Philippines, thinking they were
much exaggerated, but the com
manding general does not hesitate 10
give high praise to him for the capture
of Aguinaldo. The fact that the officers
of the regular army unite in commencing
his deed in the highest terms. although
he is not a favorite with them, is proof
that he has done something much out
of the ordinary. Few men would have I'M
dertaken to penetrate the stronghold OF
the insurgent chief with less than hum
dred men, all but four of whom were OF
the race of the enemy-e treacherous race
and capture him, particularly when the
deed had to be accomplished hundreds of
miles away from friends.
And the indications are that the cap
ture of the insurgent chief will mark the
end of the insurrection. Even Senator Ba-
con, who is very much opposed to the
whole Philippine programme, has express
ed the opinion that the capture of Aguin-
aldo will have a pronounced influence in
the direction of the pacification of the
Islands, If Gen. Funston has struck the
blow which will bring peace to the
islands he deserves any reward the gov
eminent may see fit to bestow on him.

Last fall no man more bitterly denounced
the so-called Gold Democrats that did
John p. Altgeld of Illinois. He called
them traitors, renegades and all manner
of other hard names, because. he said,
they had deserted their party. He whoop-
ed it up powerfully for party loyalty.
Now this same Aitgeld is making the well
kin ring in Chicago in behalf of Repub-
lican candidate for mayor. He is advis-
ing Democrats to vote against their own,
regular party ticket, and for the Repub-
lcan nominee. In short Altgeld is ready
to support one side or the other, as
chances best to suit his purposes. Mean
while the Democratic ticket. with Car
ter Harrison at the head of it. is growing
stronger every day. Altgeld's opposition
is really an aid to Harrison. The cleo
ton occurs next week, and the Demo-
cratic ticket will win.

THE MORNING NEWS: SATURDAY, MARCH 30, 1901

Mr.. j. Pierpont Morgan contemplates
going to England in April. 1t is reported
that the Scotland Yard authorities will
be asked to protect him from cranks dur
ing his visit. He has received letters
from several ultra-patriotic English
cranks who look upon him as an evil gen.
ius to the English steel trade His great
billion-dollar trust, they think, will have
the effect of closing English mills and
throwing thousands of men out of en-
ployment, therefore they wish to perfo-
rate him with bullets or knives. Mr..
Morgan will not let the threats keep him
from making his trip, but he will proba-
bly, take precautions for his personal
safety.

COFFEE FOR CONVICTs.

The difference which has arisen be-
tween the Prison Commission and the
County Commissioners of Fulton County
of which is that the Fulton Commission
ers do not seem to have as profound a re-
spects for the Prison Commission as they
ought to. The law requires that the Com
missioners of each county, in which there
is a misdemeanor convict camp, shall
make a monthly report respecting the
camp to the Prison Commission.
Most Of the counties were rather
negligent about making this report until
their attention was called to the matter
but now, it is said, all of them furnish
the report except the county Of Fulton.
chairman of the Commissioners of that
county there is no intention to make
such a report. He is quoted as saying
that the rule requiring the report is alb
surd.
But, If the requirement is the law. what
business is it of the Fulton Commissioners
whether it is absurd or not? Suppose it
would impose upon the county the ex-
pense of a bookkeeper, it doesn't follow
that that is a sufficient excuse for ignor-
ing the law and making faces at the
Prison Commission. II really looks as If
the Fulton Commissioners regarded them
selves as having authority on this mis-
demeanor convict business superior to
that of the Prison Commission. Perhaps
they think they know better what the
law is than the Prison Commission.
But is the requirement absurd? There
is some reason for thinking that it isn't.
For instance, the law requires that the
kinds of food 1t says that they shall
have. among other things. coffee. 1t is
alleged by an inspector for the Prison
Commission that the Fulton county con-
victs are not given coffee. 1t may turn
out on further investigation that the
law is violated in other important re-
spects. The reason the law was enacted
was the bad treatment to which the mis-
demeanor convicts were subjected in
many of the counties Instances
were reported in which the treatment was
brutal.
1t may be that there are counties in
which making monthly reports as to the
condition of the conviets increases ex.
penses, but 1t ought not to in Fultor
county, where 1t is not improbable these
are county employees who are not over.
.burdened with work. If the employees Of
Fulton county have just as much to d.
now as they can attend to they mus
be worked harder than like officials II
most OF the other counties.
But whether the employees OF FultoI
county are so busy that they canno
make the report called for by the Prison
Commission or not, it is certain that tn,
report must be forthcoming. The Prison
Commission has got its back up and tn,
Fulton Commissioners will have to yielt
or take the risk Of having the county,
convict camp abolished. A misdemeano
camp in a South Georgia county was abol
ished recently. and II is safe to ASSUME
| that the Prison Commission has back
bone enough to tackle the County Com
missioners of Fulton County. And II /
does tackle them there will be develop
ments. in all probability, that will maxi
big demands upon the brains of the head
line writers Of the Atlanta newspapers.
