Our Station House Dungeons,

Our recent comments on the medieval
police stations in New York were prac-
tically illustrated in the borough Of
Brooklyn on Thursday, when an I'M
happy woman was found insensible and
In extreme peril Of death in cell of
the Herbert street station house. The
woman was taken from hospital on
Wednesday to be arraigned in court, and
after an exhausting experience in an
open patrol wagon under the broiling
sun she was deposited in one of the
stone kennels in which New York con-
fines persons accused Of crime, regard
less Of sex or condition.
1t appears that the station house
matron visited the cell repeatedly in the
eighteen hours during which the woman
lay there. She believed, throughout,
that the prisoner was sleeping. The
prisoner however, had removed the
dressing from a self-inflicted wound in
her chest; she was in state Of coma.
When the matron discovered her real
condition at o'clock on Thursday morn
ing and medical aid was secured, the
ambulance surgeon said that her coma
tose condition had been of several hours
duration.
There would seem to be room for an
investigation as to the reason why this
woman's condition was not discovered
sooner. The underlying evil however,
was in the station house cell, the station
house system; in the moral effect which
the cell and the system have upon the
police in their attitude toward accused
persons. No one can expect the desk

..aiy ovp - .oS:-a &c creature HAVING

HOOKER reveals in him singular piety.
1t Is a pity that 30 evidently edifying
discourse has not been reported more
fully; the perfect work can be guessed
at from the fragments.
The SUNS account is an abstract:
INF RooERs admitted that Justice HookKR
was guilty. and had done wrong, but no said he
wouldn't do 1t again and would make a good Judge.
What he tRooERsl wanted was to punish the people
who mace II possible for HOOKER 70 DC oAHioo
away by temptations TO secure graft
Like the good, tender souled man
he is, Mr. ROGERS spares the criminal.
What evil associations, what bad GUS
toms, what soiled environment have
made him what he is! If Brother ROGERS
we're Judge he would discharge all
prisoners and thunder tremendously
against bad company.
The Times tells us that the majority
leader was very solemn as he tried
to explain his vote" He quoted much
Scripture The upstate Republic
cans are known to be almost painfully
devout. He wanted to punish the
system" that produced HOOKER. Con-
sequently he would not punish HOOKER.
Such in effect, was his argument.
The Albany Journal shows the cody
man OF Broome county appealing from
the individual to the general conscience:
He believed the conscience of the people should
correct indiscrctions of ofnceholders and poliu-
clans. BY reason OF this case hope correction
Of conditions will be begun"
Shall we disturb the meeting IL we
say that "indiscretions' is good? Again
we see ROGERS as Judge. house,
breaker is at the bar Prisoner, he
says, "or rather my unfortunate brother
and fellow sinner, it would be wrong to
punish you for indiscretions which are
really the fault of social system in
which you have grown up. You are
discharged summd cum ldude, and l
have no doubt that you will be a much
better man for this little experience
In fact, will not every gentleman who
has the misfortune to be dependent
for his life or liberty upon a jury OF his
countrymen agree with Brother ROGERS
that it is not right to single out one
individual and sacrifice him?
In the Tribune Brother ROGERS is emit
ting his peroraton with great emotion,
which no reader can escape:
Neither tho bench. the bar nor the people will
suffer II Justice HOOKER remains. No man has
suffered more, nor wiz the standard OF judicial
dignity be less. From this time forth believe
he will be a better Judge his conduct OF every
kind will be above suspicion and beyond reproach.
l believe tho Legislature can well afford 10 say Of
him: Neither do condemn thee; 60 and sin no
more
Would not all Judges be better for a
few years Of preliminary "indiscretion .?
And is not ROGERS Of Broome de-
scendant of that JOHN ROGERS who is
still burning at the stake at Smithfleld

Martyrs? The piety, the high sense

Wordsworth and Scott.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SrN-Sir: Your cor
re,pondeuts who have been discussing the anecdote
about Wordsworth and Scott have. think, rather
missed the point OF the story. As l remember II.
Scott had quoted the lines In question as
The swan on street. st. Mary's Lake
Float double. swan and shadow"
wordsvorth's comment was that Scott had missed
the whole spirit of the image by changing "still-
into sweet" 1t was the stiffness OF the lake that
caused the reflection OF the swan and gave the
double effect Of swan and shadow.
From this blundcr Wordsworth deduced. whether
Justly or not. a rather contcmptuous estimate Of
Scott's poetical perceptions.

ana II is evident that their spokesman
in the House on Thursday evening helped
the Irish Nationalists and the Liberals
to defeat the Government. 1t remains
to be seen whether their mutinous spirit
will not be Modified before the division
on the resolution OF censure takes place
on Monday.
One reason why Premier BALHoUR and
Mr.. CHAMBERLAIN concur in desiring
to defer dissolution Of Parliament un-
til next year is their common belief that
they will never have better opportunity
Of cutting down Ireland's representa-
ton at Westminster. The Governments
project is ready and its details have
been published. The aggregate number
OF members in the House is to be kept at
the present figure, 870, but the unit OF
population required for a member in
counties and divisions Of counties has
been increased and the result Of the re-
distribution would be that Ireland, by
reason OF the shrinkage Of her popula-
ion, would lose twenty-five seats, one
Of which would be awarded to Wales,
four to Scotland and seventeen to Eng
land. We need not here repeat what
we have frequently pointed out, that it
is inconsistent and inequitable to di-
minish Ireland's representation on the
ground Of depleted population. when
the number of members awarded to her
by the Act of Union was not augmented
in proportion to her vast increase Of
population during the succeeding forty
five years. From the viewpoint Of
British Liberals, also, the Government
redistribution bill is open to grave OBJ
jections, for it allows many small Dor
oughs, usually controlled by Conserva-
tives, to retain the privilege Of returning
members, and leaves untouched the
fragrant evil Of plural voting.
One can well understand the wish of
Mr.. JOHN E. REDMOND and his fellow
Nationalist to force the Balfour Gov
eminent to resign before it can carry
out its purpose Of reducing materially
the number Of seats controlled by the
advocates OF Home Rule.

As yet, certainly, American cotton plant
ers need lose no sleep over the efforts being
made to raise cotton in West Africa Re-
suits so far are very discouraging to the
Royal British Cotton Growing Associa-
ton, though It still has faith in the cotton
possibilities OF the British West African
colonies. Lagos, for instance, has a rail-
way and large area Of country exclusive
Of the palm oil tree belt. 1t has a popula-
ton of 2, 5Oo, 900, but two-thirds Of the people
are engaged in the palm oil tree industry,
or at least reside in that belt. Cotton has
worth was exported in the IS years ended
1901. The highest estimate yet formed Of the
cotton industry Of Lagos and the north
part OF northern Nigeria is q possible
annual export Of 200, 900 bales; but not for
q number Of years will 10000 bales be ex-
ported yearly. The people are too busy
raising palm oil, timber and cocoa to pay
any vigorous attention to cotton raising.
The experimental planting Of several farms
with American seed proved failure
In southern Nigeria an expenditure OF
S25, 900 only produced $500 worth OF cotton.
1t will be many years before the cotton pro-
duction in this colony will reach 20 900 bales q
year, IL 1t ever dos, says West African
correspondent OF the London Times. Lack
Of transportation and the labor demands
of the mines put the Gold Coast Colony
out Of the field for cotton growing. The
maximum yearly production for Sierra
Leone and Gambia for the next ten years
will not exceed 5000 bales. Northern Nj
geria is the most promising West African
cotton growing colony, but it will be very
slow work for many years, and millions Of
pounds will have to be spent on the coun-
try and several railways will have to be
built. Even with these British West Afri-
can colonies will not be able to produce
more than IS, 900 bales all told. and not
nearly that much for many years. The
total cotton production this year Of all
these colonies combined viii be only 1000
bales
