CROKER A PARSONAGE.

1t is announced in the cables from
London that Richard Croker, at one
time the boss of Tammany. has be-
come quite a parsonage at Vantage,
where his estate is situated. 1t came
about by his purchase of the manor
farm Of the manor of Vantage. The
price was $4,000. Mr.. Croker. it seems,
has become a large land owner in
England. He is going into butter max
ing and stock raising on a large scale.
When Mr.. Croker sailed away from
New York the last time there was a
great deal of speculation as to whether
he would ever return again. 1t is
probable of course that he win return
to New York on a visit, but it it a
safe assertion that he will never play
an important part in the political af-
fairs of New York City again. All the
indications are that he has fixed his
permanent home in England. He is
well along in middle life. and is tired
OF the troubles and annoyances of pol
itics-especially Of such trials and an
noyances as he had. There is no doubt
that he has a large fortune. The lib
cral way IN which he is purchasing
land and stock shows that.
There is no talk about his returning

LoornoLEs OF THE LAW.

Commenting on the case of Patrick,
convicted Of numbering the millionaire
Rice in New York, the Tribune of that
city says that, though he is in prison,
no intelligent human being familiar
with the history of murder trials in
New York expects that he will be put
to death. In the course Of it's article
it says: Judging from past exper-
fence. the delays in his case will be
kept UP for months and years. It is
difficult to obtain anywhere in New
York a verdict of murder in the first
degree under any circumstances, and
especially where the accused person is
defended by shrewd and ingenious
counsel. But even IL a conviction is
secured it is only the first act in a long
drawn out drama. which ends gener-
ally in the final release of the prison
err"
We reproduce the foregoing because
there have been expressions of dis
satisfaction in this community with
the outcome of several recent murder
trials here. The feeling seems to be
that in more than one of these trials
the accused parties deserved the death
penalty. They were all sent to the
penitentiary for life. but there appears
to be a feeling that they win escape
part of that penalty through the
pardon board just as they escaped the
death penalty through the mereiful-
ness of the juries which found them
guilty.
The death penalty is of course
terrible one, and many jurors hesitate
20 find persons accused of murder
guilty, without recommendation to
mercy. for fear that mistake might
be made. but is there not danger of
jurors showing two much caution? Of
course, where there is doubt the law
gives the accused the benefit of 1t,
but if there is evidence to justify
conviction there ought not to be, ex-
cept for the very best of reasons, a
recommendation which lessons the
penalty.
1t is not desire for vengeance that
inspires the feeling that the death
penalty is not inflicted often enough
in this community, but a feeling that
if there were a few hangings there
would not be so many murders. There
seems to be no hesitation to take life
on very slight provocation. This is
due, doubtless, to-a great extent, to a
belief that, owing to the loopholes of
the law, the mercifulness Of jurors and
the pardon hoard murder cau he eor7
mitted with a very considerable degree
of inpunity
Imprisonment for life is of course
punishment that is calculated to
make one who contemplates the COM
mission of great crime hesitate, but
the knowledge that there is always
chance for a pardon as long as there
is life. robs the hfe-imprisonment
penalty of some Of it's terrors. No
doubt the pardon board intends to do
what is right, but persistency frequent
ly overcomes the best of intentions.
No sooner is convict in a prison
garb than efforts for his pardon begin,
and il he have influential friends and
money the efforts are likely to be
continued until the object sought is
accomplished. The best way to hold
criminals in check and to keep down
crime is to inflict upon offenders the
full penalty of the law.

An exchange says: THE British gov
eminent has recently issued an order
to arm all officers with carbines. with
the intention of discarding the sword
as a side arm" That probably marks
the beginning of the passing of the
sword in warfare. For some time it
has been obsolete as a weapon of Of
Tense or defense, and of service only
on dress parade. In former days, when
warriors came hand to-hand some
times the sword had its uses; but in
modern warfare the hand to-hand con-
fiict has no place. 1t is now a question
of shooting. with rapid fire and long
range guns. The officer with only a
sword is therefore practically unarmed
and at a disadvantage. The Beers
have little or no use for the sword.
Their officers, from generals down,
carry rifles and revolvers. In a re-
cent fight in South Africa a Canadian
company whose officers had discarded
the sword for heavy revolvers was
able to make an exceptionally good
showing in a running close-range fight.
where, had the officers been armed
with swords, their resistance would
have been much less effective The
sword is polite and picturesque wea-
pom. and VIII probably be retained for
full dress occasions and ball room sor-
ties, but it looks as if it's days were
numbered on the field of battle.

Col. Asa Bird Gardiner, President
of the Rhode Island Society of the
Cincinnati, has written to the New
York Times announcing that the so
ciety VIII present a gold medal to the
composer of a new tune for the ma
tional anthem, America" The hymn
is now sung to the tune of God Save
the King" the national anthem of
Great Britain. Col. Gardiner states
that by general consent. America has
come TO be the national anthem of
this country" and that if national
tune can be found as inspiring as that
of God Save the King" it can be
taught to the school children and be-

A difference of opinion with Col Gar
diner respecting the so-called national
anthem, or hymn, is apt to be devel-
oped. In the army and the navy 1.-The
Star Spangled Banner IS employed
in that capacity, and the men are
taught to stand uncovered while the
tune is being played. AS a matter of
fact, however, there is no warrant in
law for calling any certain verses and
music the national anthem" or
hymn"

A London paper, the Taller, has been
so ungracious as to assert that the
reason for Miss Roosevelt's non-at-

ere permitted to make the Lon
rip the affection would increase

5ed the proposition. The London pa
evidently knows very little about
high-bred American girls if it imag-
ines that the head of one of them
could be "swelled" by coming into So
cial contact with the royalty of Eu-
rope. 1t is risking nothing to say that

VIOLATED THE RULES.
Senator Carmack Tells Why Miss Tay.
lor Was Discharged.

Washington, June 1S.-The senate
adopted the house resolution that the
conference committee on the sundry
civil appropriation bill be authorized
to include the necessary appropria-
tions to carry out the several objects
authorized in the omnibus public build
ings bill.
Mr.. Carmack, speaking to his resolu-
tion offered several days ago, directing
the civil service committee to inquire
into the discharge of Miss Rebecca j.
Taylor from the war department tfor
the publication of articles in newspa-
pers criticising the president), main
tanned that the civil service rules were
flagrantly violated. He intimated she
was discharged because she took the
wrong side of the Philippine question
from the administration point of view. y
The Isthmian canal bill was then
taken up, Mr.. Jones, of Arkansas, say
ing he believed ii the duty of every
senator to vote for the canal OF the
best location. Personally he would not
vote for a proposition that would i'm
pede the progress of construction. He
favored the Panama route.
Mr.. Teller said as between the two
routes. the Panama is better and ne
would vote for the Spooner amend
ment. Mr. Hanna then began his clos
ing argument in favor of the Panama
route.
