The 1nsularity Of Manhattan.

II Is common criticism of New York on
the part of the rest of the country that its
inhabitants are too insular to know or care
to know anything about other cities This
charge has been not exactly resented by
the metropolitans, but has rather been ig-
nored as of no consequence Indeed some of
the most persistent and incurable New
Workers have joyously admitted the accu-
sation, declaring that as long as one lives
IN Manhattan it is not necessary to know
anything about other places. But this Is
certainly not the sentiment today of Police
inspector Brooks, who was yesterday de-
posed as chief of the New York detective
bureau because he had not been able to Sc
cure evidence against the gambling houses
or the big city Having been asked by Com
missioner Greene why he had not obeyed
instructions to furnish such evidence by
certain date, he replied unanimously, show
ing that his detectives, in order to gain ad-
mittance to the establishments, had to pose
as western men, and had been too frequent
ly tripped by questions designed to reveal
their familiarity with the cities from which
they claim to come. 1t had been i'm
possible, in other words, to find detective
on the staff who was well enough acquaint-
ed with the sporty" side of any western
city to fool the fraternity. Now it will
probably be in order for the metropolitan
detective to take an immediate and complete
course in American geography, especially
municipal geography. Perhaps in conse-
quence of this unfortunate experience the
average New Yorker may come to realize
that it is worth while for business reasons
to know little about the world beyond the
Harlem, North and East rivers.

The Cleveland Boom.

The heart of ex-Gov. O'Ferrall of Vir-
ginia is still true to Poll. That aggressive
democrat, who while member of Congress
spoke so eloquently for Mr.. Cleveland as
against the presidential aspirations of
David B. Hill, believes that the ex-Presi-
dent is the strongest man in the party and
favors him for next years nomination.
Nor does he doubt Mr.. Clevelands willing
ness to run again. He points out of course
that it will be necessary to convince Mr.
Cleveland that the salvation of the party
and the country depends upon him. But
should that be difficult? The Cleveland
movement in 1892 took that form. The ex-
Presidents admirers surrounded him and
explained his duty to him, and "he seen
it and he done it." Nor would he be I'M
reasonable now The Cleveland boom
grows apace.

The Cotton Crisis.

From the Boston Transcript.
If anything were needed to stimulate the
English and German spinners in their eff
forts to find a substitute for American
grown cotton, 1t is found in the present re-
markable conditions in the domestic staple.
With nothing approximating a positive
knowledge respects the extent of the
crop, the cotton spectators have under
taken to make values for it regardless of
conditions prevailing in the field. the ware
house or the mill. Basing their contention
upon estimates which have in the past
proven as often untrustworthy as other
wise, prices have been carried to point
which in some years and for some grades
Of goods would prove almost II not entirely
prohfbitive. The prediction Is sent abroad
that twelve cents will be the prevailing fig
ure soon. Why the spectators draw. the
line at twelve cents, when SO Insignificant
a consideration as the welfare of a legiti-
mate industry may be all that stands be-
tween speculation and its game, is not ex-
planned.

Congress- Next Failp

If the Fifty-eighth Congress spends two
months in extra session next fall will 1t be
able to clip that much time of the regular
session next year? It all depends. Every
Congress begins with"a determination to
get through with its work as speedily as
possible. There Is lively show of industry
for a few weeks, a great hurrying to and
fro, numerous conferences between leaders.
and then subsistence of zeal and a settling
down to the regulation pace. Old plans are
abandoned and new ones adopted. Public
sentiment Sometimes changes suddenly, and
a shift becomes necessary to meet the
change. In other words, statesmen propose
and developments dispose
The next House should be able. like a
sternwheel steamboat, to start right on
and be under headway in no time. The
speakership is already settled. Mr.. Cannon
will preside, and he now has In his hands
the list of members of the House. With
many of them he is well acquainted. About
the records of the new men he has album
dant time in which to inform himself
There should be no delay therefore as to
the committees. The full list might easily
be ready for announcement the second day
of the session. And then to business.
The length of the session will be deter
mined OF course by what Is attempted Dy
the majority. If the standpatters have
their way, very little besides voting the
supplies for running the government will
be accomplished. They are advising against
all mention of the tariff. They consider
that for the present enough has been done
on the question of trusts. They have only
In mind now passing the Aldrich bill and
lowering some. internal taxes and then
writing finis
But the length Of the session Is really
not the important, matter to be considered
1t would be better for the republican party
to protract the session until August and
give the country the Legislation demanded
than terminate 1t in May, with pressing
issues evaded. The tariff must at least be
discussed. 1t will come up of It's own force:
and once 1t Is up the necessity for some
revision Will be demonstrated. If revision
Is denied; If the brewers and the distillers
show greater influence with the party lead
ers than the men who subscribe to the
Iowa idea" the presidential campaign In
the northwest will take on at a little later
period an interest which will cause the
standpatterS to wonder.

Washington and Rome.

The following cable from Rome shows
strange Misrepresentation there as to church
and state in the United States:
1.-The situation with regard to the appoint
ment of Archbishop Ireland as cardinal Is
unchanged. Pers0nages of high authority
at the Vatican say that his nomination is
likely in two contingencies-as a reward
when the Philippine question Is satlsrac-
torily solved. or in the event OF his nom1-
nation being asked for directly or indirectly
by the supreme authority, OF the Cnlteo
States.
Regarding the views Of the apostolic del
egate at Washington as to the wisdom OF
such an appointment, the vatican mas al
ways instructed the apostolic delegates to
keep in touch with the trend of public opin-
ion ever since Cardinal Satolli was at
Washington, when the Vatican understood
that President Cleveland would view with
satisfaction the nomination of Archbishop
Ireland"
For more than a decade the question OF
an additional cardinal for the United States
has been discussed in this country. Every
now and then. too, the report has gained
circulation that Rome was on the eve of
creating one. Archbishop Ireland's name
has figured in all Of the speculation Even
Professionals have expressed opinions favor
able to his promotion. He Is an able prel-
ate and patriotic man. and his popularity
has extended beyond the lines of his own
communion. He numbers among his friends
statesmen in both political parties although
his republicanism is of the robust variety.
But this feeling of admiration for the
archbishop of ST. Paul could never take the
form Of official action in his interests. No
President of the United States would "di
rectly or Indirectly request of the pope of
Rome the advancement of any representa-
tive of the Roman Catholic Church, No
more would he attempt to influence the
house of bishops in the Protestant Episco-
pal Church or the Methodist Church. In
his office he does not know bishops, arch
bishops, apostolic delegates or cardinals.
His influence Is exerted solely within the
domain of matters of state. He is the rep
resentative Of all the people in affairs In
which all are interested alike. Church af
fairs are wholly apart from his functions.
The negotiations now in progress in the
Philippines between the church and the
state respecting the lands Of the Spanish
friars have made no change in this broad
and general principle. That Is an excep-
tional case and consequently is dealt with
in an exceptional way. But as soon as that
business is brought to a close, and the Ro-
man Church takes up its duties in the
archipelago freed from all the embarrass-
ments coming over from the Spanish
regime, the separation Of church and state
In the islands will be as complete as it is
here in the United States, and will remain
so. Catholics and Protestants will be at
perfect liberty, as they are in this country,
to work out religious ends without inter-
ference by the state or hamperings of any
kind from political souce.

Burglary and Murder.

There Is today very little demur to the
proposition that the burglar deserves death
being potentially a murderer OF the vilest
kind, intent upon Staying IL molested in
his work. Some OF the states have en-
acted laws adding burglary to the capital
crimes, and others are contemplating the
same action The courts have generally
acquitted householSers who kill house
breakers by night and indeed have seldom
brought them TO trial when the facts are
well established at the outset. A case has
arisen in New York of a peculiar character
bearing in general upon this matter. Dun
can Young broke into a house and was
detected and chased from the premises
He ran over the roof to the end of the
block of houses and while his immediate
pursuer was striking at him from the roof
as he stood upon the fire escape and an
other was firing atnhtm from the yard be-
low he fired at and killed the man above
him. He was captured and tried for muir
der. His defense was that he was not
engaged in burglary when the shooting
occurred, but was in the act of desisting
and that he had no intent TO kill his pur-
suer save when his own life was in peril.
from the blows from above, the shots from
below and from the danger OF a falling from
the fire escape. After a long consideration
the jury convicted him of murder, under
the statute which denominates as such
crime any homicide committed while in the
act of penal ofrense. The case was taken
up on writ of error. the defense noting
certain exceptions to the rulings and charge
of the trial judge. who had refused to in
struet for a possible verdict Of mansaugh-
ter. Yesterday Judge Gaynor, In the SUI
preme court In Brooklyn. granted a
certificate of reasonable doubt and a new
trial. Judge Gaynor urged that the fact
that the man was considerable distance
from the. scene OF the attempted burglary
was to be considered. opening the question
OF how far from his original exploit the
burglar can flee and still remain the house
breaker. Certainly the householder who
pursues the marauder beyond his own
premises takes a. certain risk which is diff
ferent from that which is involved when he
confines his efforts at expulsion to his own

Once more the frail arbutus smiles
And wakes the soul to song,
The springtime poisoning beguiles
The heart, but not for long. -=
For though the sunkissed blooms be sweet
Their joys ere long must pail.
My happiness Is not complete
Till some one smites the ball.
The gentle birds who soar on high,
With songs so sweet and clear.

AS that well-batted sphere.
In sylvan haunts I would not dwell.
I'd rather, once for all.
Sit on bench and whoop and yell
