WHILE there are few open comments
heresbouis upon the verdict of the jury
In the case OF IRE. Bradley charged with
the murder Of ex-senator Brown in
Washington, sevidenly the decision is
affirmed by msoy who sywpathise with
the woman in her experience with
her victim, resi- ziug that she, too, was
the victim Of man ia whom she blindly
confded. There lie, however, another
class who are inclined to think that bu-
MAJ life is being rendered cheap in this
dsy. The number Of murders are in
creasing daily, while buka small per-
centage of thOsewhO commit such crimes
pay the fall penalty. Foreman Feeney
of the jury which considered the findings
in Mrs. Bisdleg's case said among other
things YESTERDAY;
1t was never The intention Of any
member OF the jury after the narrowing
story Of Mrs. Bradley's life, as told by
herself on the witness stand, TO briag in
verdict of murder in the fret degree, as
it would take II men with hearts OF
stone to render such verdict, and the
Jury Of which | had the honor of being
a member wac not composed of that kind
nf metsl-.hey we're men Of deep SYM
pethies and could appreciate the trials
and suf'erirgs that Mrs. Bradley wea'
through. We al admit that she gtiey-
ously erred 10 yielding 10 Senator Brown;
she ass a womsU, dominated and con-
trolled by 6 stro 1ger mind than her own;
che believed implicitly in bis promises,
70 matter what other people told her -
especially bic promise TO make her his
wife, which she 80 much desired. The
verde. rendered by the jury, we hope,
will be 8 lessor, not only to young mar,
RED womeo, bus also TO married men,
who by promises Of love and devotion
entice from their homes and children an
other mans wife, and then cast her aside
with no regard for another mans wife,
home and the sanctity Of the social life
Of the Preside,
The above should be an sdmoniiiOn to
all who may be tempted to take wrong
paths in life.

SOMETHING ROTTEN IN DEN
MARK

We see by one of the Richmond papers
that there is to be a movement for q
much larger appropriation for public
schools. Ia fact We understand that the
professional educators" sre going to
ask for 5000, 600.
We shall be pleased to see the schools
get whatever funds may bs needed that
the tax payers can afford to spend. But
there can be no denying that the ques-
lions confronting the tax payers in his
State are complicated aud serious oues.
Indirectly. but very vitality. the problem
Of good roads is connected with the
school question; and something N ust
be dcue here.
Too, sre we quite sure that our school
system is organized upon the right basis 2
We have five State inspectors and exam.
liners Of schools at an expense of perhaps
close to $4,000 year and We have
county superinteDdents, or rather d.
vision superintendents, rs we are new
expected to call them. Ard the whole
busir ess bss been so elaborated &c. that
the inspectors never dream OF inspecting
and the county superiuterdents hsve
been made simply clerks TO these exsmi-
ners and we rssliy have no supervision
of schools-none. Under the recent
system of ex limitations the whole thing
has been more or less a farce. These
hot-sir tourists started out win high
standard, and an excellent one, but
forthwith baked, and since then teach

nation.

of Oklahoms, was chaser secretary, and
J. B. McCreary, of Kentucky, vice
chairman.

ference authorizing the chsi,msn Of the

tee," whose duty it shall be to arrange
for democratic appointments on Senate
committees and to shspe the legislative
course Of the minority as far SIS possible.
A caucus of the democratic members
of the House to consider plan for fore.
ing the tariff question to the front during
the present session has been called by
Chairman Clayton for tonight.
Mr.. Hay, of Virginia, will probably
offer again his resolution instructing
democratic members to Object to all
unanimous agreements on the floor OF
the House unless the republicans should
agree to bring in a tariff bill. Repre-
sentative Jones, of Virgins, also again
threatens to present his resolution pro-
viding for the appointment OF steering
committee to designate democratic men,
bers of committees instead of leaving the
work to the minority leader.
Both resolutions will be sharply autag-
onizsd, the latter By John Sharp Will

Of the Hay resolution would be the in-
suguraiion of a 6libuster which would
be of widespread consequence.
