CHASlNG THIEVES.

The Department of Justice at Wash
ngton has rarely, if ever, rendered the
country as great service as it has IN
the vigorous course pursued IN the
prosecution of Gaynor and Greene for
the frauds committed by them on the
general government in connection with
the improvements of Savannah harbor.
Having secured the conviction OF
the principal offender. who is now serV-
ing the term OF Imprisonment imposed
upon him by court-martial, the GOV
eminent has been effectually devotlng
itself TO recovering what 1t can of the
stolen money. The army has vindi-
Gated itself by sending Captain Carter
to the penitentiary and it remains to
be seen if the civil arm of the gov
ernment will be less potent.
When Gaynor and Greene fed during
the progress of their trial, the court
declared the determination of the ma
tional authorities TO capture and pun
ish them at all hazards. The promise
thus made is now evidently on the eve
of consummation. They have ex-
hausted legal chicanery in Canada, and
the only question which now remains
to be decided is whether the extradi-
ton treaty with Great Britain covers
these mems crimes. 1t appears prac-
tically incredible that they should be
able to escape that way, If they can
not. then they will be again placed on
! trial, and it is quite likely. as the evil
dence against them is clear and at
hand. that they will soon join their
principal and dupe in penal institu-
ton.
Every public prosecution of this
character which results in the convic-
ton and punishment of those who are
shown to have been guilty of corruption
or malfeasance in Office is of inestim-
able value in the promotion of The
cause of good government.

ENFORCE The LAW.

1t is proposed by many conservative
and thoughtful citizens that a small
popular subscription be taken up to
defray the expense of employing a
special assistant to the district attorney
during the next term of court, the
assistant to be specially charged with
the prosecution of the persons accused
OF the murder Of Stephen Ochoa and
w II katZenstein.
1t is well known fact that the dis
trict attorney is pretty busy official
while court is in session. He has in
Vulnerable things to attend to, and IS
unable to devote to particular cases
the time and attention that is often re-
quired Under these circumstances
the proposal to employ special counsel
is not only public-spirited, but in our
opinion, in every way just and proper
and eXpedent
The -blooded assassination OF
citizens can not be tolerated, and the
agencies of the law must be vitaliZed To
punish the perpetratOr of murder. Two
ferocious assassnations within a
couple Of weeks is an awful record for
a small community. and especially for
a community that prides itself in its
love of law, order and peace. If assas-
sins escape punishment for then
crimes. if their crimes fail to arouse
the community to stern resolve ia
exterminate murderers, every violent
person will in time become a self
appointed executioner This tendency
must be stopped. The deliberate kill
| ing of men must be made Infamous and
punishable with death.
A popular subscription say of a dol
lar each, ought to be participated in
| by five hundred citizens. This would
be an expression of the sentiment of
the community, given in an orderly
and proper way. that would be as po-
tent as lynching or any other violent
eruption of popular Indignation. Muir

FACT AND RUMOR.
The story of One Postponed Cabinet
Council I'm England.

Council I'm England.
Cabinet councils give rise at times
to ruInors that dodge fact and mislead
public expectancy. One OF Lord Beac-
onsfelds supplies a case In point.
Queen Victoria, SO runs the tale, was
anxious about the state OF wind ana
wave IA the mid Atlantic, which the
Princess Louise happened then TO DE
crossing. A lord in waiting knew
professor Who was weather diViner,
and 10 him he went with message
from her ma iesty, who sent also mes
sage to Lord Reaconsield The lord

"niSraeli" except one. and she said
Gladstone. So that | might elope with
Disrae!i and break his heart.
The lord in waiting, much diverted,
went forth and, finding nisraeli in
rather low spirits told him this tale
as an instance Of his great popularity
with all classes of the queens sub
jects. The whimsicality Of the thing
was congenial to Disraeli, who was
kept waiting next day at cabinet
council for the arrival of an important
colleague. TO pass the time he told the
assembled ministers the story of the
theatrical supper. Lord Cairns (absit
omenl, hearing. did not smile, and his
solemnity put out of countenance the
prime minister who at once made the
nonarrival OF the colleague an excuse
for postponing the council for couple
of hours The balance OF power"
was then unstable and that afternoon
the papers had headings: War lmmi-

one issue upon which the party in
power does not desire to try conclu-
sions with the party now in the minor
ity 1t Is the most urgent issue be-
fore the American people, and If it is
presented to them in the proper way,
dsentangled from other questions
which are either of minor Importance
or of no Importance at all, there Is
reason to believe that the tariff barons
will he dethroned and the people
relieved of the burdens which now op-

has won two notable victories in the
past eighteen years on the tariff.
The conditions are more favorable now
than they were in 1884 and in 1892 for
a successful fight against monopoly
and tariff plundering. because monop-
oily is now more aggressive and op-
pressive and protection more burden
some than at any time in American
history.
Chairman Griggs and the other
Democratic managers ought to make
the tariff which one of the harons
aptly described as the mother of
trusts" the leading issue of the
congressional campaign this year.
The question is simple and readily
comprehended by the sensible and
practical American people. Shall
Americans pay double prices for or

A Great work of Art.

1t was Apelles who visited the studio
OF Protogenes in Rome and, finding the
artist absent, drew thin colored line
In such way that the Roman knew
that only his Grecian brother could
have done 1t. But, not to be outdone,
Protogenes drew a thinner line upon
that OF ApeIles, and when this WAS
seen Apeles drew third line upon
that Of Protogenes. This panel was
then looked upon as the greatest work
