WHY Delay Justice?

IN January bill was introduced in
the House forbidding the stamping
Of articles manufactured of gold or
silver in q manner to create the inn
preston that the quality was guaran-
teed by the United States. This
method Of deception had become com
mon, and had wrought a great in
jury to legitimate trade The meas
ure went through the House without
delay because the justice of it ap-
pealed to the judgment.
When it was sent to the Senate ar
amendment was interpolated making
the law effective after January 10,
1906 In other words, the offenders
whom it had bsen sought to check
were to be given a license to continue
their operations for ten months
more; and with the knowledge that
the business must end then they
would have tried to increase the out
put and place upon it the deceptive
stamp.
An example of the Industry at
which this bill is aimed, and it is but
one of many, is the manufacture OF
watch cases. Some Of these contain
little but base metal, and have very
small value, but they look like gold,
and they go out 10 customers brand
ed "U- S. Assay" an absolutely spuri-
Gus brand. If this trick is to be
wrong next January why is it not
wrong now? The judge On the bench
never tells a prisoner, You are guilty
Of burglary, and if you keep on
burglaring after next January 10 I
will punish you" 1t is something
much like this the Senate has said.
When the measure gets into confer
ence it is 10 be hoped the House view
Of it will prevail, this being the logi-
cal and correct view There does not
seem to be any reason why fraud
should be licensed even for a short
term of months.
The Washington times., 1905-02-12

pei to ask a blessing on the union.
This feeling is proper and desirable
in that it tends to make the joining
OF two lives impressive, and not as
though the prelude to a temporary
affair.
Representative Morrell has sought
TO bar divorced persons from holding
office, Of course, the measure will
fail, and ought to fail. When divorce
is sought and granted in accordance
with the law, there may be a feeling
tt moral obloquy is involved as to
one party or the other, but the law
has given sanction, and the people
make the law.
Whatever may be the remedy, it
surely must go to the roots, and this
measure does not. So long as the
granting of divorce remains a court
function hardly more complex than
the giving Of license, there will be
reckless marriage and ready separa-
tion. and the esteemed Representative
from Pennsylvania can't help it.
The Washington times., 1905-02-12

up in it, too. He received his ap-
pointment Friday and was confirmed
by the Senate Friday The House
voted to impeach him Friday, and the
trial was begun Friday. The ability
to discern large and cheering chunks
of good luck in this argues an opti-
mistic spirit. The observer would
think the luck not above a fair aver
age However, there is no desire to
project any cloud athwart the vision
of the judge. When at home the
judge lives at No. 13, and doubtless
this circumstance is given a fair
share Of credit also.
There are other current events that
bring thirteen into prominence. Mr..
Hoch, of Chicago and such other
places as he happened to find the
wooing good, confesses that he has
been married thirteen times. Just
where the element of bad luck first en-
ters, or to whom It particularly ap-
13 was not more unfortunate than the
ones that went before. Then there is a
story from Virginia of a man and
woman who set their wedding day
just thirteen times before they final
ly toed the scratch. Naturally there
must be some delay before the luck
in this instance can be determined.
The minister who officiated received
&c hae <1f Iic-
opinion in the matter would be of
value.
Coming back to Judge Swayne, per-
haDs the distinguished gentleman
would do well to await the verdict of
the court now in session before rem
dering a final decision that Friday is
lucky.

Baltimore Grit.

Washington will read an article in
the Review of Reviews on Baltimore
/ One Year After the Fire with more
than customary interest in the affairs
OF its sister city. 1t is written by
Day Allen Wiley, and one of its most
Impressive statements is this:
Considering the amount of the city's
wealth which was absolutely lost
I through the calamity. it seems marvel
Gus that its credit has been so well
sustained. In the. space of thirty-six
hours its assets had been depleted to the
extent of S65, 600, 900 in value. Yet the
resources of the local banking houses
were such and the feeling of confidence
SO general that no interruption TO busi-
ness was caused, except by the fire it
self.
In the period which has elapsed
since the fire, continues Mr.. Wiley,
not single failure has been due to
that disaster where the liabilities ex-
ceeded $25, 900. The total liabilities
Of the firms which have become in
solvent through the fire are less than
S100 900. The building, reconstruc-
ton, and renewal of trade have gone
on without the slightest break.
The Review points out, what Wash
ington has noted from day to day,
that the business men of Baltimore
have found the fire merely an i'm
petus to wider campaigns for trade
Not content to go after their old
mastery of trade with the South, they
have fought for a larger trade with
the Allegheny districts and the Mid
die West. The Wabash extensions to
the Chesapeake promised an unusual
opportunity to get this trade, and
Baltimore has not been behind in pre-
empting that advantage So the out

DepeW in a New Light.

Senator Depew reports a singular
concern for the American diplomatic

readers that these communities are
thriving manufacturing and intel
lectual center5 in the genial Senator s
deestrick and that, as they helped
elect him to Congress, their judgment
may be taken for good, and their
concern regarded as disinterested.
The Senator is careful to state all
this as plain, simple, utilitarian
fact, unadorned by any of the local
color for which his stories are
famous. He supports it, moreover.
with testimony that at least two New
Workers apply to him every day TO
get them positions in the consular
service" And then this kindly sue
cessor of Joe Miller, this reincarna-
ton OF the spirit of Sergeant s. Prem
tiss, exhibits the statecraft there is
in him by observing;
In vain do l tell them that New York;
quota Is exhausted and even oVertaXed:
that there are now five more New York
men in the consular service than the
State is entitled to have there. I tell
them that l have talked with the PreSi-
dent on the subject and that he emphati-
cally refuses TO appoint another New
Yorker until the present condition
changes,
What will Washington think Of
that? What will Olean and Cone
wango. and Triangle and Wappinger,
and Tarrytown think of that? Here

Senator Depew as a speechifier, and
wondering how he ever found time

and pithy way. And all that time he
was giving his days and nights to

There would be nothing remarkable
