PROSECUTION AND JUSTICE

In the Kennedy murder case in New
York the leading lawyer for the defense
charged that several important wit
nesses for the defense had refused to
present themselves in the former trials
becaues of the brutal methods of the
Assistant District Attorney who con-
Quoted the prosecution. 1t has been
charged several times, especially in
sensational cases that attracted wide
spread attention, that the assistants
to the District Attorney in New York
have no sense of their responsibility to
justice, but seek a conviction in eyery
important case, even though there he
an appearance of innocence; that they
take advantage of every technicality to
exclude evidence in favor of an accused
person, and which impartial Justice
would admit.and that they employ theif
eloquence to make an impression on
the jurors which could not find war
rant in the evidence.
1t is a pity our Court methods, the
fairest In the world, should be sub
5ect even to this flaw. The frequency
OF the complaint shows that 1t b q

EUROPE ALARMED.

according to a witness preJudlced
against the United States, namely, the
Uondon Statist, which breads the en-
croachments of the new world upon the
financial fences of the old, there are yet
years of plenty in store for the United
States upon top of our present prosper
ity. ''They are gathering an enormous
wheat CROP" it says of the United
States, exports during the coming year
will be very great and the trade bal
ance in their favor will be colossal.
Our holding of American securities are
greatly reduced and in the event OF a
continuance of trade expansion In
America, which appears certain, we
may be required to pay in gold for
portion of our cotton and wheat"
Hence, the financial world Of Great
Britain is urged to protect itself and
doubtless the Bank OF England will
take measures in due time to secure its
gold reserve against American en-
,croachments. Meanwhile the same
dread of American domination in
finance, commerce and industry has
seized firm hold of all continental
Europe and the tendency is growing
stronger as the demands of European
industries and financiers for protection
against the American invasion in
crease, for tariffs against American
wares, which are so superior and cheap
that they take the markets away from
the Europeans wherever they go, even
at tho European factory doors.
The cry Of all except the European
consumer-who, as here at home, is
mot regarded as a factor In the calcu-
iat1on-is Tor government protection
against the United States. And, doubt
less, this sentiment must generally pre-
vail sooner or later throughout Europe.
especially since the plea is made that it
is only fair dealing in view of our own
practically prohibitory tariff against
Europe and the marked-almost vindic-
tive-hostility Of the government at
Washington in interpreting the tariff
laws against Europe, as shown in the
Russian sugar bounty case.
No wonder, therefore, that sane
Americans, who have been high pro-
tectionists heretofore, are awaking to
the dangers of the situation and that
agitation for a reasonable tariff sys-
tenn in the coming Congress will not be
confined to the Democratic side. Even
the trusts when convinced that brutal
methods of aggression will not avail,
and that mo can riiy ut The tar'T
game of freeze-out, are likely to be
willing to yield point or two to hold
the indispensable market for their
mighty surplus products abroad.
For the first time in many Congresses
the tariff reformers are likely to get
the floor and keep it next winter.

A SAD CASE, INDEED.

II is a sad revelation the dispatches
bring from McKeesport, Pa. Mr. Il. L.
Abbott, who has been for several
years a member Of the Mckeesport
Common Council, announces his reslg-
nation on the ground that he cannot
remain in that body and save his i'm
mortal soul; that politics is the m 'st
corrupt thing he has ever been mixed
up with, and that his conscience mas
compelled him to get out.
What a strange state of affairs there
must be in McKeesport we can call to
mind no case anywhere else similar to
this. Even in Philadelphia where the
political gang has done some unprece-
dented business in street railway fran
chises no member of Council has resign
ed to save his soul, while Mayor Ash
bridge who signed the grab for mil
lions has never felt his conscience de-
mand his resignation.
Over in New York it has never been
found necessary for any municipal Of
fetal to give up his Office because pol
itics was too rotten for him to keep in
1t and save his immortal soul, although
Justice Jerome, in recent speech,
said: Municipal compaigns hinge
largely on this question, Shall we let
these fellows stay in who are stealing
or shall we turn them out and put in
others, who, we hope, are honest, but
who will probably steal when they get
the chance?"
HE declared that nearly every depart
ment in the municipality of New York
was rotten" The judiciary, he said,
was the only one that the citizens Of
New York had not lost confidence in.
But it had not the standing it should
have. The Justice said: Il attended
meeting of the Bar in New York
at which it was openly charged that a
Justice Of the Supreme Court was a
tout for an insurance company in
which Richard Croker is interested.
The accused Justice was present, but he
said nothing in answer to the charge.
When we have got to that stage where
Itbelious charge of that kind can be
uttered against the character of public
officers and they do not take them up,
the public will generally believe that
they are guilty of what they are
charged with"
Yet there are no whispers of whole
sale, or even retail, designations in New
York and the conscience fund there re-
tains its normal proportions, or lack of
proportions. How sad, therefore. must
be the condition of things in McKees-
port, Pa, which caused Mr.. Abbott to
resign from the Council to save his
immortal soul. Verify, MoKeesport
should send some of it's CounciImen to
New York and Philadelphia, with stop
over privileges at Washington, to study
administrative virtue and save their
souls while there is time.
