CONVICTION OF PATRICK AND
MOLINEUY.

Accepting as just the verdicts of guilty
in the cases of Molineux and Lawyer
Patrick-both of whom were convicted
of murder in the first degree-the cir
cumstances will be taken as confirming
the assertion that the rich cannot thwart
justice by the use of money.
Both of the condemned men had money,
position and influential friends, but are
now in way to pay the extreme penalty
the law can demand of mortal man.
Their trials were long drawn out affairs
and every protection the law can afford
a man presumed to be innocent was given
them. The evidence, however, was suf-
icient to convince the juries that both
had maliciously taken human life, and
their lives are demanded as a penalty.
All too frequently the claim is made
that the rich escape the punishment due
for their wicked deeds, and that the poor
suffer above justice for their evil ways.
Often the claim is made without evi-
dence to support it; often a single case in
point is exaggerated into proof Of the
general proposition. And, unfortunately.
justice does often miscarry through the
corrupt influence of money. But T e
G 10 b e does not believe the instances
are as numerous as is generally thought.
| The acquittal Of a rich man falsely &C
cused of crime is often held by those
not fully informed to be a miscarriage of
! justice.
All men should have equal ard exact
justice, nothing more and nothing less,
when accused of violating the law. That
justice is not melted out thus impartially
is due to the frailty of human nature and
not to the law itself, for an impartial
law is often misused by prejudiced men.
Much discomfort has grown up among
the poorer classes in late years because
of miscarriages of justice, real or
imagined. Notable instances of the in
Fiction of the severest penalty upon
wealthy offenders will have the effect of
allaying this discomfort.

NOW REGRETS DIGNITY
GIRL SNURS ADMIRED AUTHOR SIZE
DOES NOT RECOGNIZE.

PARKERSBURG, w. Va, March 28-
One little incident on the recent river
trip of William Dean Howells, from
Pittsburg to Cincinnati and return, will
no doubt furnish that gentleman the germ
of story. The young lady in the case
has told her friends all about it. She en-
barked on the steamer Virginia at Gin
cinnati for Pomeroy, but unfortunately
did not know Mr.. Howells. She is a sing
uIarly attractive woman, refined and well
informed, but by some means she did
not connect the face of Mr. HOWells
with the pictures she has seen of him.
Mr. Howells started in to make himself
q greeabIe-offered to butter her waters at
a little lunch party, and attempted to
lead her into a conversation, but she
snubbed him with a firmness that must
have been amazing to the man to whose
net all that comes is fish. Then he pro-
posed a visit to the pilot house to view
the surrounding country, but was grace
fully snubbed again. On reaching home
the young lady found out that she had
missed the opportunity of her life to con-
verse with man whose books she has
read with great pleasure, and is all q
tremble for fear lest the novelist take his
revenge by introducing her into his next
novel as 1.-THE Maid With a Mind of Her
Own"
Mr.. Howells remarked that this was
one of the most pleasing incidents of the
trip inasmuch as he was well aware
that the young lady did not know him,
and the only reason he tried to make
himself agreeable to her was because he
had seen her reading one of his books on
the trip.
Mr.. HoweIls discovered the name of the
Young lady, but would not make it public
on account Of her being so well connected
in Cincinnati and other points along the

eOn missioner O'DOnneH Says ReIn-
iOns of Minnesota Wage Earn
ers and Employers Are Gem
orally Pleasant.

Worklngmen Of Minnesota are for
the most part a contented, happy lot OF
people, and by this I do not mean con-
tented IN the sense that they lack arnbi-
tlon but they are more favorably situ-
ated generally than their brothers in
many OF the states" So saws Labor
Commissioner John O'Donneu, of Mime
sota
Out of thousands of replies received
to the circulars sent out by the bureau
of labor asking information concerning
the wages, life and general conditions
of the laboring men of Minnesota. there
have been practically none Of a com
planning character. For the most part
the employees In the various manufactlIr-
ing establishments of the state are pretty
well satisfied with the treatment accord
ed them by their employers, and they ara
not hnding fault to any extent This has
been the most notable feature Of the re-
ports received by the department.
AS general thing, the relations ex-
1stlng between employers and employed
are pleasant and intimate. MANY of the
reports received pay tribute to the kind
ness and thOugntfulness and helDfuIness
of employers.
"One Of the noticeable features of the

Improvement In many Oh the states the
labor bureaus report that there is prac-
tlcally no self-improvement movement
among the employed of the state. In sew
eraI of the states the labor departments
have made strenuous efforts to induce
laboring men to study, to read to attend
public lectures and meetings affOrding
opportunities for culture. In Minnesota
it is found that conditions are especially
satisfactory in this regard. A very large
percentage have library opportunities OF
which they eagerly avail themselves"
1t is found that the most favored sub
jects Of study with industrial employees
are phases of political economy, such as

NOT SURPRISING IF TRUE.

1t is not necessary for any American
to accept as true the statements con-
tanned in the report of the man, Christ
mas, to the Danish government, made
known for the first time to this people by
Congressman Richardson. The American
congress will, as a matter of fact, at any
time compare favorably with any legisla-
tive body in the world with reference
both to the purity and the ability of it's
members.
1t is necessary however, at this time
that stress should be laid on the truth.
brought out by Mr.. Richardson, that the
imputations on the honesty Of American
members of congress embodied in the re-
port had found expression in European
| newspapers for month or over in con
| nection with the proposed transfer of the
Danish islands, and must have come to
the knowledge of the state department.
without any notice whatever being taken

of itself, points clearly to the willingness

officials to let the imputatfons pass I'M

transfer of the islands could be consum
mated.

Abner Mckinley, used in connection with
them, will doubtless cause many who
might not otherwise pay any attention to

proportions will be uncovered through the
investigation that has been ordered.
Our methods of doing things in Wash
ington are more and more closely border

We are plainly walking along the Dor
dered path which other free peoples lave
walked before only, in time, to find them
selves confronted by the prospect Of fight

that the American people will continue
to walk in that path for any extended
period of time. The awakening probably
will come before plans can be perfected,
as they have been perfected in Paris and
in Rome, ancient and modern. to rob

so vast a cost of life and suffering.
These things have not come on anv
people consciously They have never
come without being preceded by just

scented in that report as attending the

it is found that the statements of Christ

he charges, there need be no occasion for

A Famous Caricaturist.

The overthrow of Tammany in New
York city will recall to the enemies OF
that society the mighty upheaval that
put an end to the Tweed ring and sent
Tweed himself into hiding in Spain. 1t
is not known to every that one of Thomas
Nast's cartoons was the cause of the
capture of the fugitive. One of the Span
ish police, having seen the cartoon rep
resenting Tweed in a criminal act, caused
the exiles arrest and thus justified
Tweed's fear of Nast's pencil. Argu-
ments might be answered or defied; they
were beyond the understanding of many
Of the boss followers. But the picture
brought conviction-in both senses.
Thomas Mast has left the arena to
younger men, but he has lost none of
his interest in the good fight. When
President Roosevelt was a police commits
sioner, the veteran cartoonist was so de-
lighted with the efforts of the practical
reformer that Mast made call upon
him and heartily congratulated Commits
sioner Roosevelt upon his work for good
government. To his surprise and delight,

BABCOCK,S EOLLApCE-

Democrats who have been disposed to
trust to the man Babcock to force the
fighting on his party and party asso-
ciates on the subject of tariff revision
will probably have found their fond hopes
once more blasted, and their faith in Re
publican promises once more subjected to
a shock. There is a choice minority of
Democrats who find it necessary to ex-
perience rude awakenings Of this general
character from time to time before they
can be thoroughly convinced that they
must depend on their own party in or
der to secure the relief which they be-
lieve the country stands in need of in one
direction or another
The surrender of Babcock means many
things. 1t means that the executive lash
is being welded to good effect on recall
citrant congressman, or that the execu-
tive pie counter displays more and more
inviting assortments each succeeding day.
1t means, too that the ranks of the Re
publican insurgents are broken for good
and all; that Imperialism and absolut-
ism in legislation, as embodied in the per
sons of the speaker the committee on
ways and means and the committee on
rules, will have the whip hand once more.
and that all attempts at the amendment
of the measure will be ruthlessly squeIched.
That is, of course, if the 20 per cent
makeshift is acceptable to His Eminence
IN the White house.
The immediate DEVELOPMENTS of the de-
lection of Babcock will be interesting.
and, no doubt, entertaining. They are
not unlikely to be followed by an insur-
gent raid on~the executive pie counter.
They may, however, be marked by scenes
on the floor of both the house and senate
when the Cuban measure comes up for
action which will help the people to a
clearer understanding than appears vet
to prevail of the inevitable trend of
events now in progress in national pol
tiles
The effect on Cuba will not be great. If
the attitude Of the many Republican
senators who demand that the full con-
cession asked by Cuba snail be granted
is maintained, and the bill should come
back to the house amended so as to
grant Cuba substantive relief, the issue
may have to be fought out again, with g
possibility at least that something like
justice shall be done to the Cuban people
Cuban independence will have founc
practical expression on April 20, the day
will be inaugurated. If on that day thi:
people could hand to the chosen ralers
