CARTER'S RELEASE.

The doors of the military prison at
Fort Leavenworth will shortly open
for ex-Captain Oberlin M. Carter,
who has almost completed his five
year sentence for robbing the Govern
ment In spite of the desperate legal
fight Carter made his case has faded
largely from public memory, but
there is a feature of his punishment
which will be terribly enduring.
Grant sent him to West Point from
Ohio in 1875. He was graduated, at
twenty four, at the head of his class,
and went to the Engineer Corps by
right of his standing.
He served first in the East, where
he married a millionaire's daughter,
who died before his downfall. In
Savannah, where from 1888 to 1897 he
was engineer in charge of river and
harbor works, he conspired with con-
tractors to defraud the Government,
realizing with his accomplices, hun
dreds of thousands of dollars His
crime was discovered by his successor,
and he was summoned to meet a
court-martial, presided over by Gen.
Elwell S. Otis. The court labored four
months, and Carter was convicted.
After long and patient examination of
| the record by distinguished jurists,
President Mckinley approved the sem
tence.
On September 30, 1899, Carter was
dismissed from the army, and the
! Government advertised in the news
papers that he had ceased to be an
officer and a gentleman " The next
day he was arrested and his imprison-
ment began Soon he will be again
/ cree man, but the rigorous military
law will follow him to his grave IL

one spark of che old pride of service,
his punishment will be lifelong. The
civilian public will soon forget that
he is no longer gentleman, " but not
an officer in the military service will
fail to remember. Wherever he may
90, into whatever social gatherings he
may find his way, no man bearing
United States commission will speak
or recognize him. In the Articles OF
War, to which they have all sub
scribed, this rule is laid down.
The man who violates his oath and
is false to his commission is no longer
fit to associate with those who still
wear the blue and honor the flag.
Carter knows it and, feels the sting.
He has been 'trusty" while in
prison, and at times might have
breathed the outside air, but never
has he used his privilege. Out there
he might meet face to face some COM
rade of his days of honorable service
who would pass him by with averted
gaze. Collier Weekly.

Little is said in general way of
the great progress Of the Y. M. 9. A.
idea in the United States but the
matter is brought forcibly to mind by
the recent dedication OF three new
buildings-one in Buffalo, costing
1895, 600, one in Newark, New Jersey,
costing 1885, 600 and the third, costing
S92, coo, at Harrisburg, Penn. This
is not sudden boom but u steady and
continually increasing growth and it
argues we'll for the future. General
statistics give a still wider view.
Over 81, 700, 600 was spent last year
for new association buildings through
out North America. and at the pres
ent time there are over fifty large
buildings in course of erection, to cost
nearly as much more. The associa-
ton now owns 470 buildings, worth
500, 600, 600, and an endowment amount
ing to 50, 800, 600 more Forty six
new association buildings were erect
ed last year, and in two years there
have been erected forty three railroad
association buildings.

THEFT GALORE.

Is making millions at the expense
of honor profitable occupation, in the
minds of financlers who are now being
tried at the moral bar? To form a
vast combination, knowing it to be so
watered as to be unsafe and to bar
gain for your gains at the expense of
those who trust you-what is the
name for that? No number of tech
meal schools founded by the executor
of such deal can clear his record,
any more than mawkish moralizing
and founding colleges can cleanse the
life of man who has conspired
against the law. with the aid of brib-
cry, to crush competitors. 1t is de-
pressing to have smiIch on financiers
to their trusts. If they were in such
dire want of few millions more, why
did they not say SO, and let us help
them out, instead of giving another
blow to our confidence in them and
in human nature? With millionaires
willing to be sharpers, in order to
get more millions; with politicians
stealing from the people, in city,
State and nation, and habitually using
men, women and children as mere
pawns in a private game to capture
wealth; with yellow papers plunging
their readers into dirt and danger for
business and circulation-the love of
money may fairly be called sickness
in our country. Unhappily we can
not call these reeking instances excep-
tions. Other departments in the gov
eminent are only less eaten with cor
ruption than the post office. Little
cities have their rings, as we'll as
big ones. The more that is learned
about corporate methods. the more
universal seems the willingness to
trick the public. Corruption, caused
by the opportunity which all have in
this country for worldly progress
and by the desire for fast advance
ment, is undeniable and vast. Lead
ers in business enterprise are among
the least excusable when they juggle,
for they are men wh1 have had OPP

treaty of 1895, and the Canadians had
wilfully and persistently insisted on
construction that should give them
the mainland coast.
America has been blamed" wrote
Mr.. Townsend, an eminent English
man, in 1899, after the failure of the
high joints" to settle anything, for
her stubbornness in refusing to submit
to an arbitration which should take
into consideration the possession of
the towns and settlements under the
authority of the United States; while
they have also been charged with
having made no concessions at all to
Canada in the direction Of allowing
her free access to her Yukon possess
IONS" The writer proceeded to show
that the Americans had not been so
stiff necked as they had been made to
appear. The Canadians had been
given to understand that in regard to
Skagway, America was prepared to
make a very liberal concession. They
were ready to allow the joint admin
istration of Skagway, and to allow
of the standardization or interna
tionalisation" of the White Pass and
the Yukon railroad, then the only
railroad that gave access to the Yu-
kon. The Americans were even pre-
pared to admit of the passage of troops
and munitions of war over this road,
thus doing away with the Canadian
contention that, should a disturbance
occur in the Yukon regions the Cana
dams were debarred from taking eff
cient measures 20 quell it.
This proposition did not commend
itself to the Canadians, whose object
evidently was to have a railroad route
of their own, from beginning to end,
in their own territory, as far north
as Dawson City. Other propositions,
like the possession of Pyramid Harbor
on Lynn canal, were made and re-
iected As Mr.. Townsend wrote: 1t
is not surprising that the Americans
rejected this proposal, for they entered
into the discussion, convinced of the
impossibility of accepting any arrange
ment which would involve the
surrender of American settlements
But quite apart from this
view of the matter, we may take it
for granted that the United States
will never voluntarily surrender any
of their tide-water settlements, while
the Canadian government, on the
other nand, is no more disposed to ac-
cept the Observation-Disclosures of Skag
way, their argument probably being
that this would be giving away their
whole case to their opponents -
On the failure OF the joint high
commission to arrange settlement, a
modus vivendi" was patched up and
the whole matter referred to the COM
mission which has just made its decis-
ion. Canada sought everything, re-
fused liberal concessions that would
have given her access to the Klondike
from the settlement at the head of
Lynn canal, with the result that she
has lost everything and raised All i'm
passable barrier between the sea and
the regions where rolls the Yukon.
