NO RIGHT TO MERCY.

! The imposition of a severe sentence upon
| Belcher, the embezzling ex-AGayor of Paterson
| has caused surprise TO many and has evoked
! expressions of regret, If not Of actual protest
! It is pointed out that he did not personally
profit from his crimes that he was a self
made man. that he was an excellent Mayor
that he absconded not to escape punishment
but to seek means of making restitution, and
that he voluntarily returned and surrendered
himself, pleading non vut cOntendere to his
Indictment, and thus saving the city the ex-
pense OF a trial Much of that is doubtless
true All of it may be- though there is no
proof of some Of it.
But however much Of it may be true, IL is not
really pertinent TO the question Of his assumed
right to expect mercy at the hands of the
court "self-made man" should be at least
as scrupulously and impregnably honest as
men who are not "self-made." good Mayor
should certainly be a good citizen. man
OF decent antecedents who goes wrong is
certainly no less but If anything more culpa-
BILE than one whose environment had always
been evil If It be true that he sought to make
restitution and reparatiOn, at any rate he did
not succeed In so doing, and in spite of prOtesta-
tions 70 the contrary there remains a natural
assumption that his ostensibly voluntary re
turn was prompted by the fact that he did not
prosper elsewhere, and by his expectation that
he would thus be let off with light sentence
We certainly have no desire TO gloat over
Belchers fall and punishment. Yet we must
regard the sentence imposed by the court, severe
as ii is, as just and salutary He might have
hoped for mercy. We cannot see that he had
a right TO expect it. or, indeed that any crimi-
nal has such right. Courts are admnlstra-
tors of justice, not dispensers of mercy II is
fitting for them TO take "eYtenuating circum-
stances" into consideration, but If a sentence
is thus mitigated it is on the ground of Justice.
and not OF mercy. Harsh though It may seem.
the only right OF the criminal is TO have JUS
tice done 10 him, and nothing more. Once es-
tablish the principle that courts may at will
diyerge from strict justice at the dictates of
sentiment in the direction of mercy and there
will be no guarantee that Oh occasion they may

TOO wVCH ZEAL.

The railroads Of Iowa must be waking up to
the wisdom Of Talleyrand's famous warning
against zeal. Their zeal for the defeat of Gov
ernor Cummins has brought them into trouble.
Railroad representatives ran the campaign,
and, as is usual with campaigners in a hot
fight, thought any stick good enough to beat
dog with So when somebody pointed out that
Governor Cummins had taxed the farmers too
high in proportion to corporation properties they
eagerly seized upon the issue and thought to
defeat him by this appeal to the common people.
The common people, however. were not i'm
pressed. But Governor Cummins was, and now
he is taking steps TO repair the blunder attrib-
uted TO him.
He does not mean that the railroads shall
longer complain that he has disprOportionately
increased the assessments on farms. He is
going to jack up the railroad assessments to the
same level Accordingly, he has added $4,000
600 to the taxable railway valuations, which
means an addition of S150o00 TO the annual tax
bill of these corporations. That is heavy price
TO pay for zeal and fearful concern for the poor
farmers. No wonder corporations appear to he
sOulless. 1t is enough TO produce cynical indif-
ference to the wrongs OF ordinary humanity TO
be soaked" for the price of the boon which you
denOunce somebody else for not bestOwing.

ARBITRATION ADOPTED.
Rio Congress Unanimously Votes to
Accept Proposed Plan.

Rio Janeiro, Aug THE International Amer
lean Conference at its session to-day unanf-
mously adopted the arbitration proposal. A long
discussion followed regarding the mode Of It's
transmission to The Hague, and the question
finally was referred TO a committee.
The naturalization treaty has been approved
In committee. and will coule to a vote at the
next session of the Pan-American Congress.
The treaty provides that If a native born citi-
zen Of any country. who has been naturalzed
elsewhere. returns 20 the country OF his origin.
he resumes his original citizenship upon the
declaration of his intention 70 remain and that
this original citizenship is assumed without dec
laration after two years residence in the coun-
try of his origin

An interview published by La NaciOn." OF
Buenos Ayres. on July 90 in which certain
statements were attributed TO Baron de Rio
Branco. the Brazilian Minister of Foreign AZ
fairs. has found it's way to the newspapers OF
Latin America. and has caused much commO-
ton. The correspondent here of LA Naclon''
saw the minister and attributed 70 him the fol-
lowing statement
Countries which cannot govern themselves and
do not possess sufficient strength 20 suppress
continual revolution have no right TO exist and
should give place TO stronger nations.
This statement denied officially on August
8. The matter has. however again been brought
70 public notice because OF a mistake in tele-
gram from here 10 BOgOta, attributing the fore
going statement TO the Brazilian Minister OF
Foreign Affairs in the speech with which he
opened the Pan-American Congress
The formal do CommerciO" will tomorrow
publish a semi-official communication as fol-
lows:
The dispatch 10 BOgota gives an idea OF the
tntrigueS that some press correspondents are
indugng in in order 20 create in certain Span

IN will against Brazil.
This incident will not be brought before the
Congress at present

gas for soft coal would be attended with dis
unct economy, and IL would lnvarlaply pro
mote clearness of the dir In the vicinity OF the
power plants.
The Feasibility of this scheme would depend,
apparently. on some common supply OF fuel gas
for whole city. Such gas would cost less
than that which was provided for illumination.
There is talk i'm England just now of running
a pipe line from South Yorkshire TO London, a
distance of 173 miles, and Of conveying TO the
city gas made on an enormous scale near the
mines The advocates of the project believe
that they can sell gas at profit in London for
"a cents a thousand feet If the soft coal pro
ducers of the Eastern States were TO organize
n similar enterprise here they might materially
improve their own market by reducing the de-
mand for anthracite and obviate the only objec-
ton 10 the use of their own products.
