gopher had paid fha penalty.
He went over TO inspect The scene
and found the guns lying To-
gether at seme distance from
where they had been placed with
every appearance of having been
discharged. Examination Of a
hole brought to light a gopher
and Mr.. Sergeant started for
town in high glee. On reaching
the Oren home, some party there
wished to be shown how the gun
operated. The Inventor set the
hammer and pulled the trigger.
The gun was loaded. It went
off. But any other gun weuld
have done the same under like
circumstances. Mr.. Sargeant's
right hand was within the zene

that the damage will not be per-

I r1r:RE4cHING RaTR.

The successful raid on policy players
two, will certainly have extended results.
Coming on the eve of the change n city
administration it may safely BE regarded
as certain to bring serious gambling oper-
atoms in the metropolis to a close at
least for some time. 1t will further
operate to convince large element Of
city population that the cutlery made
about the connection CT the Tanlnany
politicians with the gamblers was some
thing more than political game.
The man Adams who has been arrested
has been known in New York for twenty
years and over as the king Of the policy
players, He has become q millionaire.
His denial that his great wealth came
from that source will not be taken
seriously. His punishment, whatever it
may be, combined with the activity which
is certain to be maintained against his
and others operations in that direction
under the new administration cannot
fail to bring those operations to a prac-
teal ending.
If this raid had been made during the
progress of the recent city campaign it
would OF itself have proven fatal to the
chances of Tamnany. Coming at the
time it did, it is a continuation Of the
charges against the police administration
of Tammany, and is certain to operate
for an indefinite period against the polit-
ical prospects of the Fourteenth street
organization
It may be taken as impossible for any
administration or any combination of po-
litical and social forces to wholly put
an end to the gambling evil in the great
city. This raid will, however, if the re-
formers fulfill their pledges, and have a
sincere desire to effect a moral purl-
fication of the city, go farther than al
most any other incident could have gone
to prevent in the future the completely
of city officials in the police department
or elsewhere with criminals of any type
The incident will, on the other hand,
soon be forgotten by busy community,
and the old forces may find the same, or
an approach to the same, immunity which
was furnished them under Tammany In
any such event, and, indeed, unless the re-
formers proceed to carry out their pledges

nRs. BoNINE,s .4CoUITT4L.

The verdict in the case of Mrs. Bonnie,
charged with the murder OF James S..
Ayres in the city of Washington, is not
to be regarded as extraordinary under
all the circumstances. 1t is of the same
effect as every verdict reached in recent
years on the trial of a female homicide.
The authorities of the District of Co.
lumbia might have saved themselves the
trouble of the trial that has taken
place. The defendant is plainly a woman
of great natural cleverness, and the pc
Rod elapsing between the killing and
her confession was certainly not used by
her in giving added force to the natural
conclusion that the married woman who
was alone with a single man in his room
in the midnight hours, and who effected
her return through the fire escape to
her own room while he lay welter1ng in
his life blood, was the author of that
mans death.
The theory of the defense, which, it
is worthy of note, was not sustained by
any testimony on the part of the only
living person who was a witness to
Ayres death struggle was an extraor-
binary and daring one. So far as the
press reports indicated during the prog
ress of the trial there was nothing what
ever in the way of direct testimony to
sustain it. 1t is one which no person
would accept were there not at stake the
life of another human being, and that
human being woman. The woman did
not attempt to sustain it by her own
testimony. There she showed the noted
Shrewdness which she evinced through
out. The absence Of her own testimony
no doubt had much to do with the re-
suit But it will also have much to do
with causing the general public to refuse
to accept the verdict reached as just
one The defendant doubtless saved her
own life, if not her reputation, by not
going on the stand as a witness in her
own behalf Whether her lie or her rep
utation is worth very much will be
doubted in any event.

AnUSE OF TIE FRlNK.

Once more congress is giving attention
to the abuse of the franking privilege
by members and others who under the
law are entitled to the courtesy Inas-
much as a criminal seldom condemns
himself, nothing is likely to come OF
the investigation. AS long as the post
office department is open to the use of
the officers Of the government and the
makers Of the laws, without money and
without price, 50 long will the privilege
be abused
ment reports show that the enormous
deficiency in that department is owing
to the abuse of the franking privilege.
but the abuse goes on and Increases in a
geometrical ratio. 1t is almost Incredible,
but it is a fact nevertheless, that 1t costs
the people over $19OOO.OOO per year TO
carry the mail of the Representatives
at Washington. the officers. and their
clerks. Although the frank is not to be
used except III official business, it is en-
pioyed for everything that railroad
train can carry. Congressman with an
economical turn have been known to have
their washing done at home and sent
through the mails to Washington The
secretary of a Wisconsin congressman
who owns a fine fur overcoat ordered It
sent to him by mail under his masters
frank-and it went. Office furniture con-
sisting of desks and tables with
carved mahogany legs were sent
by mail through the postofIice
department to the Philippine ISL
ands. the actual cost charged up to the
government being as high rs $500 per
desk. An attache of the geological de-
partment, not wishing to burden the geo.
logical appropriation with the freight on
lot of mineral specimens, sent them by
mail at a cost to that department of
$2,G0J. This sounds like fiction, but all
one has to do to verify the figures is to
study the reports of the department.
II is disgusting. yes, certainly. Why Is

VIII They KIN the GOOSE,

The Northern Securities company may
be opposed to the spirit of the law but it
is ridiculous to suppose that the railroad
managers would do anything detrimental
to the interests of the great Northwest,
even if the merger were allowed to stand.
1t is only through the continued pros
perity of the towns and states with which
they do business that they can hope to
thrive, and they are as much inter
ested in the development of the states
west Of the Mississippi as the citizens
of those states themselves. If the rail-
road and warehouse commission is any
good at all it can regulate freight rates
and hold the railroad companies In check
so far as exorbitant charges are con-
cerned-Delano Eagle.

gress are in the game-they receive sub
stantial benefits, and under their code
of ethics, why should they cut off one
of their sources of revenue? In CAM
paign seasons the frank is a great power.
Political documents can be placed in
the hands Of the admiring constituents
without cost to the party machine-the
nation pays the freight. This practice is
confined to no party-it is universal.
Nor is the practice confined to the fed
eral officeholders. The petty officers of
the states are partial to the frank. This
is not confined to the postoffice depart
ment-express and telegraph companies
know the value of these gifts Of special
privileges and they grant them with
rare good Judgment. The public mas
not forgotten the scandal which arose
in a neighboring state when it's governor
franked his COW and his garden truck
from his home to the executive mansion
at the capital by express. This desire
to get something for nothing. apparently,
seems bred in the bone. The implied
promise to pay seems so remote-and
then the people may not catch on, you
know.
Coming back to the original subject of
the federal frank, if the franking priv
lege were confined to the legitimate bust
ness of the representatives and fed
eral officers, the enormous yearly def
cheney which must be provided for to
keep the postofffce department running
would be entirely wiped out. VIII it ever
be done? No.
