silly Sentiment aud the Laws Weak
meas


Il has been said that mans inhuman-
ity to man makes countless millions
mourn. Ii might with truth be added
that woman humanity TO man makes
millions wonder Within the shadow OF
the gallows. Johann Hoch. one of the
arch fiends of the country, beast in
human form who for years had made
woman the toy of his lust and cruelty,
who repeatedly violated the most sac
red relations of life. and set at def
auce the code of sanctity and decency
10 say nothing of the laws Of God and
man. was snatcnel from deserved
fate by the intercession of represent
ative of the sex he had outraged.
Comment on this peculiar phase. on
the part that woman has taken either
in commiseration and sympathy or III
successful effort TO stay the hand OF
the executioner in the case OF Hoch,
should not be construed as implying
that even so cold hearted a scoundrel
should not be given every opportunity
that the law affords in the conduct OF
his defense. AS a matter of fact II Is
deplorable commentary on the ma
chjnerv of Justice in Illinois that any
criminal should be deprived of hearing
before the highest tribunal in the state
because of lack of funds essential for
the carrying forward of his case. The
Hoch proceedings and delay should, II
they accomplish nothing more, serve
to awaken the people TO the outrage
of a form OF statutes that denies TO the
man without means. whose life is at
stake, the same privilege to take his
appeal to the last earthly resort that is
accorded the man with an abundant
share of this worlds goods. In instan-
Ces Of civil procedure, it is we'll TO
guarantee the costs. but where it is
one of capital punishment where the
state takes upon itself the duty of
prosecution it should treat rich and
poor alike.
As far as HOch is concerned, there
does not appear any more danger OF
his escaping the hangman through
technicalities in the higher court than
there is of justice having .miscarried so
far. That he is guilty not only Of the
crime of which he was convicted, but
of many more similar ones does not ad-
init of doubt. SO pronounced is the
public mind on this score that any act
that would prevent the extreme punish
ment would be regarded as a miscar-
rage Of Justice and a travesty on law.
The part of woman. moved by silly
sentimentality. in sending flowers TO
such a fiend and indulging III supplica-
tions for mercy. does not serve the
ends of Justice or of humanity. 1t de-
layed the operation of the law until
the money was forthcoming TO save the
neck of Hoch for a while. but it was
in spirit a perversion of human nature
that deserves no commentator. and
will probably again be exhibited when
the miserable wretch has been given
the benefit of the last limit of the law
Neither money nor lack of money
should be allowed to interfere with any
man having fair and full trial. nor
should sentiment. as unnatural as
Hoch's crime. be permitted 10 interrupt
the course of law and the demands OF
fu-siFa

that Justice Martin Keogh, of the Supreme Court

OLD LEASE, NO FERRY.
Ne7C Terms or Union Boats Stop
May 1.

Convinced that they cannot operate their boats
without a loss under the old lease with the city.
The officials of the Union Ferry Company have told
the Dock Commissioner that unless some satisfac-
tory arrangement can be made with the city be-
fore May l. the expiration OF its year, all the
ferryboats of the company will be stopped at that
time. All that the company asks is that 1t be no
longer considered operating under the terms Of
the lease. which expired in 1901.
According to the terms of that lease the ferry
company was required to pay to the city TX per
cent of its gross earnings. When it expired the
company asked for reduction in the rental show
ing that its receipts had been materially re-
duced through the operation of trolley cars across
the bridge and increase IN its running expenses
The city refused more favorable terms. and since
that time the ferries have been operating although
no new agreement has been made. The city Is
suing the company for rentals at the old terms for
the years since 1901. II the company operates the
ferries for day after May 1t holds itself liable
for another year the old terms. ..-
The Union Ferry Company has eighteen boats
which it operates five lines. viz, South Ferry
Hamilton Ferry, Wall-st. Ferry, Fulton Ferry ana
Catherine Ferry.

TO WIPE OUT ALDERMEN.

His bill provides that after January l. 1906. the
Beard Of Aldermen is abolished all its powers be-
ing vested in the Board of Estimate The powers
of the various aldermen members of local i'm
pToVement boards continued and the aldermen

canvassers in counties lying wholly within the city.
The office of the president of the Board of Alder
men IS TO be continued under the title of Vice
Mayor he to have all Of his present powers ex-
cept those which aDpertain TO his functions
in the board. The duties performed by the
chairman Of the Finance Committee Of the alder
men in the Sinking Fund shall be vested in the
