INSTRUMENTATION CASE-Some conservative
military officials that mistake has been made
by the army officers who are responsible for the
announcement of the discharge of soldier on duty
at one of the New-York posts on the ground that
he had married a woman Of disreputable character
and whose husband was still living 1t appears
that this information came from the garrison and
was not sustained by legal proof OF the allegation
AS one officer remarked, it is easy enough 10 say
that woman is not of good character, but it is
of the hardest things 10 prove any such charge.
Should it develop that the woman possessed a good
reputation there may be an embarrassing time for
the officers who have msled the War Department
The object of the discharge was TO rid the service
OF a soldier who had married a negro woman. and
1t was intended put the discharge on some other
ground than that Of the alliance with a colorcd
nerson the desire being to avoid all reference
the racial features OF the case. Some OF the officers
say it was not necessary to give any reasons FOR
the discharge since there was enough offence with

Homeless Children.

Every year a charity most kind
takes in charge thousands of or
phaned and helpless children. These
il provides with homes. In many a
household, where there has never
been the prattle of babes, or where
death has stilled this sweetest Of mu-
sic, the wee strangers may find well
come. 1t is surprising, therefore, that
the sisters who recently took from
New York to the West a consignment
Of these rescued waits, are back again
with most of their charges, and I'M
able to account for the score that are
missing
1t seems that homes had been Sc
cured in advance for the children in
Arizona or across the border in Mex
leo. The white people OF the territory
did not deem the selected guardians
as fitted for the duty they had under
taken. They therefore took some Of
the children by force. drove of the
Mexicans, and ordered the sisters TO
hurry eastward with the rest. Terri
fed and amazed, the sisters made
haste to obey.
Evidently Arizona methods are
strenuous. Nevertheless. the sudden
action taken in this instance doubt
less was based upon a better concep-
ton of the proprieties than the guar
dams of the children possessed. The
MeXicans living along the border line
are poor and ignorant, with a large
criminal element They are not
Spanish" as described by the sis
ters, and they are not good Mexicans.
1t is difficult to imagine them having
any but evil purpose in getting hold
Of white girls. and the indignation
that thwarted them was In all proba-
bility righteous. as it was rude in ex-
preston. There need be no concern
for the children whom the sisters
failed to bring back. The people Of
Arizona are civilized. If they thought
the rescue Of the orphans worth
while, they had no Ill design in max
ing the rescue so complete.

Radical Reform.

The fatal poisoning Of a score Of
people by the quality OF whisky sold
in a certain district Of New York city
has been mentioned. Discovery Of
the desperate chances taken by the
topper may in itself be a means of rad
drinker, while calmly ignoring the
fact that he is burning up his vitality,
would hesitate to swallow a com
pound likely to kill him on the spot.
And the proof Of the stun is in the
swallowing. Hence a possible com
promise or water.
The degree OF recklessness that
would actuate a dealer to sell a bever-
age constituted largely Of wood alec
hol is almost beyond comprehension.
He is essentially guilty Of murder.
The element Of malice may be pre-
supposed. A criminal act not inspired
by rancOr against any individual may
be the very quintessence Of malice.
For instance, people have been known
10 poison articles Of food, though
having no idea as 70 whom the food
would be served. One fiendish male
factor was wont TO place powdered
glass in salt cellars in use on a public
table. Neither Of these oHenses could
have been condOned by reason Of the
technical absence Of malice, and
neither was in any respect worse than
the preparation and serving Of a
deadly imitation Of whisky.
Wood alcohol. even in small guam
tity. Is totally unfit for human con-
sumption. The use Of it In mild
doses destroys certain functions. caus-
ing blindness as an early symptom OF
the injury il works. The sale OF the
stuff TO a galoonkeeper, or it's sale to
anybody for other than mechanical
purposes, should be forbidden. and
such penalty prescribed and enforced
as would make the risk too great even
for the heartless wretch willing. for
the price Of a drink, t. Stay his fell
low.
Since the agitation caused by the
wholesale murder. keepers OF. other
groggeries have been observed rid

Now, if the World" would con-
vince, let il change its tactics from the
expletive to the practical stage. 1t
might swear out a warrant for Mr..
Cortelyou for extOrtion, and include
the President as accessory before,
after, and during the fact. With this
pair, perniciOusIy active as they are,
from the Pulitzer standpoint, safely
in jail or out on heavy bail, they
would be handicapped, much to the
glory and satisfaction of all such
political parties as run campaigns on
the basis OF refusal to accept contri-
buttons.
After all, no great harm is being
done. To calm the journalistic throes
would be cruel. They but indicate
an editorial style Of getting gay.

Looping the Loop.

An item Of the news columns re-
lates the death OF q man from the
peculiar process of looping the
loop" II is not a particularly star
ting item, and others OF similar char
acter are to be expected while people
continue to risk their lives for the
sake Of being able to congratulate
themselves upon escaping. No clear
~ defined reason why people should
desire TO loop the loop" occurs to the
mind. The operation is about as ex-
hilarating as a fall from the roof. Il
illustrates the workings of a law in
mechanics which might be as well
illustrated by loading the carriers
with sand ballast.
However, the human foible that
finds expression in taking desperate
chances appears in many other acts.
The man who goes mp in a balloon
and descends on the buoyancy Of a
large umbrella; the one who enters
a cage OF lions; the fat lady who
permits kissing snakes to encircle
her aYOirdupOis. and all the rest Of
the freaks and foIIies Of exhibition
are due to intellectual Quirks. They
do not bespeak any high courage, but
rather the lack Of mental perception.
Probably the snaky female would
shudder at the presence OF a mouse,
and the lion tanner cnnge before an
indignant wife.
Loopers of the loop get necks
broken, Of course. That is TO be ex-
pected. But why do they loop?
There are many sane methods for the
expending of energy, and it may hap
pen that legitimate risks necessitat-
ing real courage may have TO be in
CURED IN the course of ordinary duty.

Not LaboT's Trial.

There is on trial in New York q
man who, while empowered TO act
for organized labor, IS charged with
having extorted brides. If guilty the
blame does not rest upon the bodies
that had been misled into trusting
him When he came under the
shadow OF suspicion he was promptly
deposed, for he had not been acting
fer others. but for himself.
Organized labor may within itself
have differences of opinion, but that
honesty is not only desirable, but the
only possible method by which 10
win any contest the entire body
knows. Dishonesty OF leadership is
the greatest handicap with which Il
could be weighted. 1t could have no
foe without as harmful as this foe
within. This fact is so plain as
hardly TO need stating. The present
trial is the trial of an individual, and
not Of the cause of labor.
There are aspects TO the crime Of
bribery not always borne in mind.
The crime cannot be committed by
one person alone. There must be
the silver as well as the receiver. In
a strict application of justice one
would be deemed as guilty as the
other. Indeed. in the majority of
cases the giver is worse, for the role
Of tempter is his Nevertheless his
ohense is passed over, and his testi-
mony employed to establish the guilt
OF the receiver, who was his partner
in a nefarious act.
Bribery requires a double dishon-
esty. The bride, to receive which is
a crime, it Is a crime TO give III the
defendant in this case took money TO
which he had no right, the prescott
ing witnesses handed the money
over. They bear marks of tar from
the same stick. The proper course
would have been to expose the cor
rupt leader before they went into
partnership with him Then, at
least, they could, with clean hands,
appear in the arena as reformers.
