Tesla is a sensational sort of n

he gave it that we are on the eve of
communication with the other planets
and that his experiment machinery has
recorded vibrations that he has reason
to believe are signals from other
planets to the earth. 1t sounds absurd

vexed and complex every day, simply
because the thinking and intellectual
portion of the white race III America
will not accept the simple truth Of jus
tice and Equ, luy, upon which the laws
of the United States sIe founded and in
aceordsr &C with this supposed TO stand.
OLe frequently heaIs questions such
as these: Is the Negro capable-thOr.
ough not superficial? Is he progressive?
Is he Wi ling TO help himsel? Can We
is he going to permit Us 10 5a.e him
forever as a st conc class IUdlvidusl IN
this great suFgiDg caravan Of humani-
ty? Do the wOn en- Of his lace ay a
vital part in shaping his hepes-hIs
ambitioDs-his very life and tbat Of his
children? To every ole Cf the interTC-
gatives Mrs. Mary Church Terrell has
logically and c)nviDciDgly given the
answer, Yes. She spoke at length uI-
on ''The Progress of the COI)red W m
an, treated fearlessly and broadly the
Negro woman as she is in her environ
ments and her home life, morally phy-
sIcally and intellectually and spoke up-
on her energy, her push and liability
in the outside world; how che is willing
TO work aud .Oor under the most off
ficult and least favOrab c circumstances
and yet be brave woman and smile.
Taking the better elements from among
the women OF a peOIl5 all things be-
ing consideTed the American tOlOTed
woman has Der equal perhaps, but eel
tainly no peers among hsr slsteTs Of
the white race.
It may be interesting TO reflect M
ment, and consider Why and wherefore
a representative colOTed woman is IN
demand by such well grounded white
organizations as the MOnona Assembly
whose one purpose it is among other
things to consider the difficult prob,
lens OF social and political life and keep
the height Cf their best advancement
before the people. The entire matter
is the outgrOwth Of table talk at home,
and is q very signal Cm5n Of the times.
The home considers every phase of the
Negro, hence the public demands suth
ority upon the subject. The socisI l
status at large Cf the Negro Will not
soon be appTeciateIy fixed until there
is some training IN white homes tend
ing toward a new soCisI evolution.
The race Is exceptions ally foEtunstein in
having such q woman as Mrs. Terrell
in it's front ranks. Her oratOry is fine
Her arguments are unbiased. She is an
example of what chs believes at beart-
breaches and teaches. The physical
woman Is exquisitely handsome, pose
sessing 8 magnetic personality. She
has 3 still delicacy and sOitness of

only interrupted at times by graceful
movements and pair Of v1vicaci0us
dark eyes lighted up with enthUs iasm.
The programme OF the ASSEMBLY still
has members in the person Of chm
Temple Graves, the eloquent Southern
agitator, and Ben TillmsD. Should
either of these men bring forth peculiar

any peculiar institution or institutions

A NEEDED DISCUSSION.

The unanimous reversal of the Molineux con-
vlction by the Court of Appeals is perhaps in
itself q sufficient commentary on the conduct of
the case in the trial court to serve as a warning
against the repetition of the methods of over
riding a defendants rights there tolerated, as
well as against the use of the sort of Illegal
evidence particularly ruled out Nevertheless
there is some reason for regret that the court
did not feel impelled TO give its view on the
conduct of the Recorder instead of dsmissing
the subject as was done in the opinion Of
Judge Werner In these words:
The claims of the defendants counsel that
''error was committed in the opening and sum-
ming up of the District Attorney and that
1.-The defendant did not receive that fair and i'm
partial trial TO which he is entitled under the
law" have been urgently presented that we
should be inclined TO discuss in detail the many
grounds of error assigned under these heads
were II not impossible to do so fairly and i'm
partially without a fun and critical review of
the twelve thousand foios of this record for that
sole purpose Such a review would extend this
opinion beyond all reasonable and useful limits
and in view OF the result reached we deem it
unnecessary 10 discuss or decide the questions
raised as TO the conduct of the Recorder and the
District Attorney upon the trial.
Possibly there was a division of opinion
among the judges on the question of character
izing the general conduct of the trial, and the
matter was passed over, though one of the most
useful functions Of the Court of Appeals is such
large oversight of judicial proceedings and the
giving of disciplinary admOniton to inferior
judges when 1t is deserved. Naturally the Court
Of Appeals refrains from entering into unneces-
sarily long discussion of cases The dispatch of
business requires that questions not absolutely
essential to the settlement Of the law as affect
ing the determination of the matter in hand be
passed over, and, the opinion notes, 1t would
have entailed upon the judges an immense
amount of labor to discuss properly the ques
tions raised concerning the Recorders conduct
and the general fairness and impartiality of the
trial. The existence of obstacles TO such discus
sion whatever they may have been, is unfortu
nate, however, for, except as the Court of
Appeals can be trusted hereafter to find def

mite errors calling for the reversal OF convic-
tons secured as was that of Molineux, the lives
and liberties of citizens are at stake; and the
people ought to know what is and what Is not
q fair and impartial trial, not only in letter
but in spirit under the laws and constitution OF
New-York At the trial of Molineux the Re-
corder made remarks In the hearing of the jury,
thought likely by counsel for the defence to
prejudice the interests of his client, which he
refused to allow to go upon the record, and he
also refused to allow an exception to his refusal
to go upon the record, thereby showing himself
unwilling to give the higher court an oppor-
tunity to pass upon the propriety of his ac-
tion or even learn of it officially. If this and
other things which seemed unfair and improper
to observers were all right it would be useful to
know it and have this new standard of Judicial
conduct fixed by the highest court If these
actions were wrong and the conduct OF the
Recorder was not fair and impartial public
safety would be promoted by having the fact
established by the Court of Appeals and les
son taught to trial judges concerning their gen.
eral bearing and disposition rs well as concern
ing rules of evidence.

"CONSPICUOUSLY UNFIT"

The deliberate judgment Of the Bar Associa-
tion of the City Of NewTOrk is that Robert a.
Van Wyck sis cOnspicuously unfit for judicial
office" The report of its committee, which the
association almost unanimously ratified derives
strength from the studious moderation of its
language. AS the committee said, the Mayor
has exhibited himself for the last four years In
the plain view of all citizens. and they scarcely
required assistance in forming just estimate
Of his qualifications for the bench of the
Supreme Court. If evidence in addition TO that
possessed on Tuesday by the Bar Association
and the general public had been needed, the
Mayors speech in accepting the nomination on
the evening of the same day and his demeanor
and utterances yesterday would have supplied IL.
II is not an agreeable duty to say of a man
that in the very act of formally signifying his
desire to be made a judge he has furnished
superfiuous proofs of his unfitness for the place
TO which he aspires. But ii seems necessary to
say precisely that Of Mayor Van Wyck. Under
circumstances which would have induced in
almost anybody else a deep sense OF RESPONSE
bility and a decorous temper, he made a vlo-
lent and vicious stump speech. Moreover, it
was not a mere political harangue, -couched in
general terms, though conceived in execrable
taste. He stopped so low as to make a bitter
personal attack members of the court in
which he hopes TO sit, aspersing their character,
defaming their motives and inviting the COM
munity TO regard their exercise of judicial func
tions with suspicion. After that exhibition 1t is
not worth while to do more than allude to the
Mayors characteristic outbreak of vanity and
yirulence at yesterdays meeting of the Board
of Estimate, fifty supplementing performance
which for sheer indecency is probably without
a precedent in political history. 1t will be
discredit and misfortune to the people If they
permit a bad Mayor to be translated into a
worse judge.
New-York tribune., 1901-10-17
THE BUSINESS IN HAND.

The Croker candidate for Mayor is naturally
disposed to congratulate himself upon the con-
tinued sympathy and approval Of few old
admirers whose quality of conscience and habit
of mind subject them TO the same delusions
under which he labors. For purposes of con-
ISOLATION their continued adherence to his views
and fortunes must be exceedingly grateful to
him. Without them he would be fearfully
lonely. Yet even Mr.. Shepard, solicitous as he
necessarily is TO make the most of every old
associate who joins his new alliance must have
hours of profound detection as he sees his
standard constantly deserted by former polit-
cal friends and counts the remnant pledged TO
his fantastic candidacy The practical value Of
such support appears to be extremely slight
There is no evidence that 1t possesses any
recruiting power Mr. George Foster Peabody
and two or three others who are now conspic-
uously anxious to betray the cause which they
recently professed TO be promoting are indus
trious but painfully unsuccessful. Already they
have encountered so many contemptuous re-
buffs that even their robust vanity would seem
TO be in danger of whiting.
The sort of response which Mr.. Shepard's
personal agents are daily elciting is illustrated
in a letter to one of them from Mr. Austen g.
Fox who wrote:
My duty seems TO me plain. The renaissance
OF true Democratic party" is of course much
to be desired. but the emancipation OF New
York City from the misrule Of Tammany IS
1.-The business now in hand and must decline
10 lend my aid to any who seeks to prolong
Tammany's power. Either Croker has aban-
doned the hope Of electing his nominees or else
he counts upon continuation Of a large share
OF power in himself: and rightly. too, for vic
tory means the control Of the District Attorney,
an official than whom. you know. none wields
greater power for good or evil Whatever else
you and Shepard may think you can secure,
you are lending yourselves to Tammany to help
II to this end. 1t staggers one to think of your
helping to do the city this harm.
That brief statement covers the ground fairly
and fully Mr.. Shepard's perverted ingenuity
is doubtless equal TO the task Of producing a
rejonder. but he cannot make answer. If
he were in his right mind he would know as
every sane and honest political associate of his
better days knows that the business now in
hand is the emancipation Of New-York City
from the misrule of Tammany, and that in case
he IS elected Mayor Tammany will retain all
the power it needs to protect vice and crime
perpetuate corruption and ruin his administra-
tion, with or without his consent.
New-York tribune., 1901-10-17
THE ROGERS WILL SETTLEMENT.

The settlement of the dispute over the will of
the late ]. S. Rogers appears to be a consumma-
ton upon which all whom it may concern are to
be congratulated 1t is always cOmmendable to
settle legal disputes out of court, and thus with
out tedious and costly litigation, when that can
be done equitably and without opening door
to possible abuses. Sometimes the settlement of
a will contest by concessions TO the claimants is
injudiclous and dangerous in that it gives GER
tain encouragement to unscrupulous persons to
foist false claims and to levy practical black
mail. In this case, however, there seems 10 be
no such objection to the manner in which the
settlement has been effected There has never
been the slightest doubt of the good faith of the
contestants. Neither can 1t be denied that they
had and have, at least on sentimental grounds
some claim to consideration. The modest share
of it which has been voluntarily granted to Mr.
Rogers's relatives will be great boon to them
while it will not seriously impair the munif-
cence of the bequest to the Metropolitan
Museum of Art the chief beneficiary under the
will.
The museum, the growth of which from
humble beginnings to its present splendid estate
has been so solicltously watched by the present
generation of New Workers, now enters into pos
session OF a fine endowment fund for the pur-
chase OF works of art 1t will therefore no
longer be dependent upon special gifts and
loans. Such fund will be of immense service
to It. and of equal value to the people of New
York and of the nation who freely enjoy the
treasures of the museum. 1t Is to be hoped this
inheritance will he only the first OF many such
which will not cease to come in until the
museum is amply endowed, not only for the
filling OF its building with works of art, but
also for maintaining the whole institution in n
manner comparable with It's deserts and with
its services to the public
