THE JIDSON MURDER.

der case has received cOnSidera- (
BILE impetus, during the week, {
by the formal action taken by
the Executive Committee Of the |
State Insane Asylum Board in
passing resolutions denounclng
the crime, pledging every effort
to the prosecution of the guilty.
and calling upon the Governor
for assistance to this end. These
resolutions appear in another
part of this paper and speak Tor
themselves. In addition to this
entirely proper action taken by
the Asylum executive commit
tee, the arguments presented by |
a correspondent in the Times
Democrat styling himself Tax
Dayer," seconded by two able
editorials in that journal, areI
conclusive as to this murder 5
being not merely Il crime mi
which the FeIiCianaS are alone
concerned, but one which ap-
meals to the sense of duty of the
entire State.
The murdered man was pc
culiarly helpless, not only from
his mental affection which de-
barred him from the privileges
Of freedom and citizenship, but
by his slight physique he was no
match in physical strength for a
sane man of even average size.
4 He was a child as far as manly
powers went, and the known
means by which he came to his
death show how pitifuIly help
less he was in the hands Of an
Implying foe. Men are wont to
denounce as the blacklist OF
crimes those committed against
women and children, and seldom
fail to pursue such crimes with
the most severe and relentless
punishmentS. For example, the
blood of all true men boiled witt
horror and Indignation at thai
circumstance in the Breelant
murder case in TangipahOa re
Gently when the murdererS tool
the infant from its mother
arms and then shot the mOthe
to death. This atrocious Incl
dent probably did more than any
thing else to insure the conviC
ton of Avery Blount.
The murder of E. X. JudSOn j

even as a lamb-Weak and dun
in the hands of his slayer, al
no words can fully express Il
horrible advantage thus taken
strength over weakness.
The Indians regarded the
sane, or mentally deficient, as /
culiarly under the care of t
Great Spirit and would do the
no harm. Women and childr
might fall beneath the scalpir
knife, but an innocent was

THE TWO SIDES OF HISTORY.
Some Pertinent Observations Made by
Writer Evidently Not Fond Of
Subject.

History is running account of how
King Somebody-or-other either did or
did not get to a certain place, which
nobody ever heard OF, before King
Somebody-else got there, from which
we are usually supposed to conclude
that IL would have made quite differ
ence whether he did not not.
Like nearly everything else, history
has two sides. The history OF the
Garden Of Eden depends upon wheth-
er 1t is related by man or a wom-
an. The history of the American rev.
olution reads quite different in Eng
lish books from the way it reads in
our own books. The history OF the
civil war depends upon which side of
the Mason and Dixon line you happen
to be sitting when you write it.
History is bore, not only because
you are unacquainted with the people
who figure in it, but because it repeats
itselt.-Life.

HANDED at Dawn

Nadir Pasha, second eunuch of the
palace under the regime of Abdul
Hamid, was hanged at dawn Thursday
on the Galata bridge, the great thor
oughfare that connects STEAMBOAT with
the quarters of Galata and Pera. The
body was allowed to swing until
o'clock in the morning and the people
stopped to look at the great Nubian
whose name was terror under Abdul
Hamid
The dead mans face showed an un-
dershot jaw and thick, heavy lips. In
life he had been fully 6 feet inches
tall
Nadir was executed after a trial by
court-martial on the charge that he
instigated the mutiny OF the troops
April 13. He was reputed to be in
tensely ambitious, subtle-minded and
lnsensible to the feelings Of others
He was one of the trio that formed
Abdul Hands private cabinet under
the old regime.

STORY FALSE.
The Warships Which Made the Great
Tour Not Wrecks.


Secretary of the Navy Meyer de-
clares that the 16 battleships of the
Atlantic fleet which made the voyage
around the world were in excellent
condition and the fact that they were
accompanied by a repair ship kept
them In good order throughout the
trip.
He referred to an article in an Eng
fish publication saying the result OF
the trip was worth from $25. 000,0 900 to
$5O,0O0,000 to the United States navy.
The secretary said he had found the
voyage had cost only $1,500,000 more
than II the battleships had been kept
at home and assigned to ordinary
duties. The battleships needed no
extensive repairs, and the fact that
they were to remain at the navy yards
a month longer than at first contem-
plated was not due to a need OF more
repairs but to the fact that materials
needed for the repairs were not avail.
able.
The changes in the masts had been
decided upon after extensive tests
and experiments in which the old
masts had been fired into by big
guns. The adoption of the skeleton
masts with which the battleships are
being fitted was decided upon after
these tests. Some OF the ships will
leave the yards with only one OF
these masts because the material for
a second one will not be available in
time to complete the change before
the beginning OF the summer man
euvers.

Let the FLAG Alone.
MICHIGAN

The proposal to recast the pattern OF
the United States flag is a good one to
send to limbo. The scheme as now
laid before congress is to rearrange
the stars in the union into a pattern
resembling perhaps a winged gyras-
cn,ns more than anything else on the
earth. the heavens above or the wa
ters beneath, says the New York
tribune. Here is the prescription:
the stars shall be arranged uniform
In distance from one another. in five
arcs in combination, the centers of the
~arcs to be the apices of regular PEN
Seon. The radius of the arcs shall be
-cldal to one side of the pentagon, and
the radius of the stars shall be equal
10 one-fourth the distance from center

wise, isn't it clearer than mud? Every

every schoolboy can instantly draw
IL upon his slate. 1t really is a wonder
that we have been able to worry along
Tor so many years without such a COM
oination. Why, there isn't problem in
Euclid that can touch it for simplicity.
