him TO a physician of the cid school. while Mr..
Woodruff confounded both his medical illusions
and his political philosophy by quoting from Mr..
Bryan and other Democratic authorities that the
President was in wise responsible for the

CASE OF DR. COLLINS.

It Is only now and again that the general pub
lie becomes aware Of the degree to which the
practice OF hushing up crime is carried on
abroad owing TO indiscretion violation Of
contract IN connection with some particular
case. Thus. few years ago London society
was startled by the news Of the arrest Of one OF
its most eminent and fashionable physicians on
the charge Of forgery. In the proceedings which
followed the fact was brought to light that Dr.
Collins. who was at 'one time connected in
a medical capacity with the Royal Horse
Guards, had forged the signature of a fellow
officer and of a member Of Parliament, namely
Captain Selwyn, 10 a promissory note for 5000
On the forgery being discovered and brought
home 10 him he had made written confession
thereof to the captain and TO the three friends
whom the latter had consulted in the matter
namely Lord Walsingham. high steward Of the
University Of Cambridge; Colonel Sir Nigel
KingscOte. paymaster Of the Kings Household
and Of his equerries, and Major Atherley
of the Royal Horse Guards. Acting the ad-
vice Of these friends and taking into considera-
tion the plea of Dr. Collins that the forgery
his only offence of the kind, and that he
had been driven thereto by an acute crisis in
his financial affairs from which he had subse-
quenuy emerged, Captain Selwyn refrained from
Informing the police or from prosecution on the
receipt ot promise in writing from DR.. Collins
10 leave Europe forever within the space of six
q eight weeks for which time he pleaded in or
ner 10 enable him 10 dispose Of his practice and
10 settle his affairs.
Within month DR. Collins had succeeded in
paying off the entire amount OF the forgery
and, believing himself safe in consequence de-
cllned, when the time came. to fulfil his pledge
win regard TO leaving Europe. Lord WaIsing-
nam and Sir Nigel We're made so indignant by
this breach Of faith the part of DR. Collins
thai Ola receiving the notification from Captain
Seiwyn of the forger's continued presence IN
London they placed the written confession Of
his crime In the hands of the police taking tht,
ground that, since they could not manage 10 re-

Where. however there is tie most excuse :or

of high rank office, is where offences against
morality are concerned-offences the publication

Gated people the notion Of crimes of the very

on both sides OF the Atlantic, especially in the
smaller towns and rural districts, and it may
safely he asserted that the bulk of the popula
tion-Derhaps 50 or 80 per cent thereof-would
have remained in innocent ignorance of vicious
ness such that which has just been engaging
the attention Of the Berlin tribunals had it not
been for the publicity given thereto by the press.
Thus in 1885. the sensational disclosures by w.
n. Stead in THE Pail Mall Gazette" entitled
The Maiden Tribute We're to have been fol-
lowed by revelations of an analogous character
dealing with still more horrible form of crime.
An extraordinary amount of evidence of dOcu-
mcntary character had been collected in support
Of the charges. But at the last moment the gov
crnment of the day learned of the contemplated
expose and induced the proprietor of the paper
and Mr.. Stead to abandon the publication, on
the ground Of public morality. Unless I
much mistaken the evidence collected was
turned over to the authorities.
Il was due to an nadvertence on the part of
tile authorities ana 10 lnJuulClOuS pressure on
the part of certain organs Of the London press
that some years later what was known as the
Cleveland street scandal brought into
court and the incalculable harm resulting from
the extraordinary publicity given to the un-
SaVory proceedings far Outweighed any pos
sible good that might have been derived by
bringing some of the offenders to Justice. 1t has
been the same with the Motke Harden case at
Berlin last week The entire affair could have
been dealt with quietly. and yet at the same
time drastically, without communicating rela-
lively innocent minds by the publication of all
the unsavory evidence I'm the case. In Germany
Is elsewhere in Europe, scandals of this kind
are a general rule treated with comparative
secrecy and discretion. II is only from time TO

RETICENCE HERE.

Here in the United States. although publicity
is regarded the best safeguard of public NOR
atty yet the press displays as q general rule
a reticenCe in dealing with certain scandals and
a regard for the sentiments of its readers which
is lacking abroad. In Europe from the moment
case gets into court and no provision Is
made for hearing it in camera the newspape
apparently consider themselves free to print
every scrap OF testimony. no matter how revolt
ing. Their license in this respect is indeed ex-
traordinary and results. perhaps, from the ex-
treme severity with which the libel laws weigh
upon them. restricting them in the discussion
of matters not technically privileged as the
proceedings of a court OF law. Testimony Is
printed in even the most reputable Of European
newspapers which would never appear in print
in the most yellow and sensational of
the organs of the American pTesS-not because
Of any censorship the part Of the constituted
authorities here, but because the American
newspapers are compelled to conform them
selves TO the taste and sense of propriety OF
their readers
We have therefore, the side. the Eu-
rOpean method Of hushing up scandals by the
authorities, coupled with the most extravagant
license on the part of the press when. unfor-
tunately and by way of exception. some OF
them get into court and the other hand, the
American way Of declining to hush up crimes,
coupled with an extreme reserve of the news
papers in dealing with offences calculated TO
offend the moral sense of the public Which is
the better? EX-ATTACHE.

ing that the scandal was one which a magis-
trate with greater amount Of tact and eXpe-
rience would have found means of suppressing
quietly and without offending the popular sense
OF morality.
OF course the conditions in the United states
are somewhat different from those in the Old
World For, whereas on this side of the Allan
tic the principle of equality is deeply rooted in
the breast of every American citizen and is
perhaps the first notion that the newly arrived
immigrant, imbibes after landing on these
Shores in Europe, despite the spread of democ-
racy and the phenomenal progress Of social
ism, much of the oldt!me submissiveness and
reverence on the part Of the masses for the
classes remains. It takes the form of a readiness
and of anxiety on the part of the people Of
the middle and lower grades OF society to follow
blindly in the lead Of those whom they regard
as their superiors in rank, not alone in dress
manner and speech, but even in conduct. To
such an extent is this the case that the most
eminent criminologists of the Old World, the
scientists as well as those exercising magisterial
and judicial authority, are practically unanimous
in their opinion that any publicity accorded to
the rnisdeeds Of a person of rank and position
affects injuriously the moral tone of the masses
and becomes not only a cause but also an in
citement to crime.

COMBINE TO HUSH UP CRIME.

Il is on the strength of these arguments that
distinguished lawyers officials intrusted with
the administration Of Justice and even the
royal and imperial arbiters of society abroad
combine in an endeavor TO hush up crime TO an
extent of which the people in this country have
little conception. Means are usually found OF
giving the offenders their deserts, but public
morality IS protected by the avoidance Of undue
publicity il the case. In England. for instance

The District Attorney in America, is virtually

carried to such a point that in some notable
cases the police have actually warned criminals,

their arrest. which would be held back twenty
four hours in order TO enable them TO get out Of
