away OF every shadow from the name OF an
honored citizen who fell an innocent victim 10

bauched man aud woman. But Mr.. Jerome
cannot claim to have had hand even In Vindi-

syivsnia 10 regulate the process OF choosing

nutely defined and described in the federal Con-
stitution and the federal statutes; and State

LEADEy FEET OF JUSTICE.

1t was a strange condition Of affairs in a
prominent hotel in Albany when a murderer
could speak to the night clerk, find out the
number Of the room occupied by the man whom
he intended to kill. go upstairs with a shotgun
IN plain view get admission to the AID
shoot his victim, who had no possible chance of
defence or escape. Evidently the management
OF that hotel ought TO make changes promptly
In its night force.
This was not a case Of waiting In ambush
similar to the assassination Of James Fisk by
Stokes in this city more than thirty years ago.
The Albany assassin brandished his deadly
weapon as he passed through the hotel Office
and went upstairs. With proper watch and
ward in a high class hotel, he would have been
stopped and turned over to the police.
AS The Tribune has fsid repeatedly, the prac-
tice OF carrying weapons and OF settling dis
putes with pistols or knives seems TO have
been gaining ground IN many parts OF the
country. 1t is a reproach to American civiliza-
ton that not only IN tho most turbulent OF dis
tant mining camps, but even in the Oldest States
OF the Union, the list Of homicides is swelling
rapidly TO such horrfying proportions. Our
legislatures grand turtles, distIct attorneys
and criminal courts need awakening. The TAX
ing OF human life Is regarded too lightly, and the
percentage Of the slayers who suffer adequate
penalties is lamentably small. Even in the COM
paratively few cases in which they are finally
punished. the laws delays are tedious and ex-
asperating.
