the only way by which there could pc
Federal, military interference. would be
at the request of Governor stone, OF
Pennsylvania. and it Is stated that he is
not likely to ask for Federal troops. be-
cause he has not called out the entire
militia force in his State.
We could fain hope, however. that the
President never entertained any serious
thought of military interference-of such
a gross violation OF the Constitution. And
NE could also hope that he is not, as has
been suggested, moved to his great in
tcrest in the matter By party considera-
tons and Influences. We want to think
better Of him than that, and as much as
we see in his general course that is de-
serving OF criticism, we shall give him
the benefit of the doubt. But regardless
of this, we iterate that we trust he will
succeed in bringing the contending parties
together, and relieving the situation. He
could not do the country greater service.
II he falls. nothing remains to be done
but for Pennsylvania to act and act vigor-
ously and s,lmmarily. His failure will but
accentuate Pennsylvania's duty to take
the situation by the throat, If necessary.

by General Mendoza, reached San Juan

President found Only 1.5O0 local gueril-

fight. the latter were routed.
The government Incorrectly announced
this engagement as being victory over
Mendoza's army, whereas that general
is near San Sebastian, ready to effect a
junction with the forces of General Ma

The final success Of General Matos is
believed in Venezuela to be certain, and
as a result all securities on the Bourse
at Caracas are rising.

refused to grant the request of dele

to introduce provisions into the town

forty-flve days. Cases of yellow f,ver
and typl,us have been reported here.

and unwise to interfere with the sacred

panic of 1893 was caused by the wilson

untruth The Wilson tariff was not en-

President Cleveland was elected Presi-
dent in the fall Of 1892. He took office in,
March, 1893. The panic came on three
months later and was plainly due to II

OUR MILK SUPPLY.

At intervals, more or less frequent,
for the past eight or ten years the need-
of a thorough milk inspection has been
dinned into the cars of our City Council
by the Dispatch, by the Board of Health,
by DR.. (Coronery Taylor, and by medlcai
men generally, but without satisfactory
results. But a time has now arrived
when further delay is not to be tolerated:
There is no longer a doubt that delete
rious substances, so-called "preserva-
tives,'' have been used here to keep milk
fresh
1t is fact, also. that much milk sold
in Richmond has been watered-a 2prac-
tice from which our community has
suffered from time immemorial. And the
result Of that has been not only that
purchasers have not gotten the article
they paid for, but tina t hundreds of babies
have been cheated Of nourishment they
were supposed to be receiving. 1t makes.
a vast deal of difference to a. ch1ldss

is given a pint of watered milk. It is not
only possible but probable that some
infants fed from the bottle have been
starved to death, their parents all the
time thinking the milk furnished them
was all-suf11cent
The experience of Richmond in this
matter is the same as that of most other
cities of our size that have attempted
to do without a well-organized milk in
spection system. It would have been bet
ter if. years ago, we had taken the eX-
perience Of other communities to heart
and proceeded to protect our people from
imposition, but our City Council would
not heed; would not act. Now II. must
act and should act promptly. That is
necessary in order to satisfy consumers
and it would be justice to honest and
upright! dealers.
So let there be no more delay in COM
raittees, or, in either branch of the City
as is needed was prepared long ago and
with some amendments doubtless will
serve our present purpose. The Richmond

A Waste Of Time.
Baltimore Herald.)


/ The logic of the decision of Judge J.
M. Love, Of the Alexandria County Court.
in the George Klein case is Irresistible.
ard 1T. is a waste of time and effort to
take steps in pursuance of contrary
view The only issues with which the
court had to deal were whether the refu-
gee from the Maryland Hospital for the
Insane was insane, and, if insane, whether.
he was properly ward of the State Of
Maryland. Criminality did not enter into
the question at all, and Maryland can
set up no claim for this refugee from her
borders. because he committed a crime.
The verdict Of the jury who tried George
Klein for murder legally established the
fact that no crime was committed, for
the jury acquitted the defendant on the
ground Of insanity.
If the jury at the murder trial made a
mistake, it is beyond rectihcation. If
Klein was insane at the time he Inflicted
Il Death wound upon his mother-in law
and is sane now, he is entitled to his
freedom: II he is still insane his insanity
nj the State OF Virginfa's present concern.
Upon no hypothesis can there rest a plea
that Klein has a score to pay to this Com
nlonWealth in the way Of incarceration
for his Incarceration was not a penalty
inflicted, but merely a pubic safeguard
A suggestion has been made that there
should be erected a special asylum for
the segregation of insane persons who
reach the insane wards from criminal
courts. This is based upon the fallacy
that there are criminal insane" If deeds
are committed by insane persons which
would be crimes if committed by sane per-
sons. there is no reason to treat their
authors in different fashion from other
insane persons.
What is needed is most careful Weighing
Of pleas Of insanity entered as bar to
the infliction of punishment for crime.

Bloody Monday mt Harvard.
New York SUM-

There used to be a police at Ithaca
whose invariable inquiry, when the young
braves Of Cornell were disporting them
selves to the extent of what the less
learned world would call a riot, was:
"What the hell transactions have we
here?" A question likely to be repeated
by him who reads Of the doings Of the
Harvard youths on Bloody Monday of
this week. The sophomores and the
freshmen butted and rushed" one
damage. Then some fifteen hundred
damage. Then some fifteen hundred frol-
ickers: and rollickers rollicked and frol-
licked With the trolley lines from Bow street
to Harvard Square. They cut the trolley
ropes, turned off the lights, ragged"
signboards and conductors hats, and even
the helmet Of a; Cambridge peeler, VINO
had no especial use for it., as he and his
fellow gods of peace had lost their heads,
as usual! Traffic was stopped LOT an
hour.
In short in all respects. the demon
stration was a great success, and passen-
gers and other Philistines who complain
ed of it don't comprehend the inferiorlty
of their status and the effect of learning
upon the manners. We record these
academic amenities in no carping spirit
and with no narrow preclslan prejudice.
We didn't have to go to Boston or come
to Cambridge that night; and so we are
free to congratulate the Cantabrlslans
that youth is still full of blood and gin
ger. There nave been many droning,
tedious articles on '"The Value Of the
Scholar to the Republic;;' and the sch"l-
ars are valuable. What brisk force for
cutting on railway communica tons or
intercepting supplies, especially of crack
ers and cheese and bottled beer, those
Harvardians would make!
