Higher, Higher, Higher!

Cndeterred by disasters, the aviaters
continue TO seek altitude records. and will
probably keep on soaring aloft in the
hope of going higher than those who
have gone before. The latest to achieve
distinction in this line is j. Armstrong
Drexel. who yesterday at Philadelphia
rose to height of 1870. thus marking a
new worlds point of altitude in heavier
than-air machine. He reports that at
the great height TO which he attained the
air was so rarefed that he was unable to
force his engine farther upward, although
he had sufficient fuel He had simply
reached the limit of the sustaining power
OF the air for his type of machine. Thirty
feet higher aad he would have gained
the goal which has been set as the object
OF ambitious sky pilots. Yet had he done
so there would have been no cessation Of
record-seeking. Doubtless the birdmen
will continue TO try for higher and higher
attitudes Indefinitely. But after all there
is practically no value in these high
flights. They are merely spectacular
sporting events, extremely dangerous and
demonstrating nothing but the nerve of
the men who undertake them. OF far
more use are fights across country, in
which the aviator must negotiate all kinds
of air currents affected by the inequalities
OF the surface. and choose his landing
place with skill. Eventually the high
flyers will stand in a class by themselves.

Crippen's Execution.

OF his wife; then the lying tales he told
to account for il. tales the falsity OF

missing woman became persistent. Then
there was the discovery beneath the cell

Mr.. Justice Harlan.
n the Virginia Law Register.

From the Virginia Law Register.
We heartily concur with the suggestion
made by our contemporary, the National
CORPORATION Reporter. that the merit sys-
tenn be adopted in the case OF appoint
ments to the Supreme Court OF the
United States, to the end that Mr.. justice
Harlan be promoted to the vacant chiet
iusticeship. His fitness cannot De ques-
toned by any one, more especially as ne
is at present discharging the duties OF
presiding officer Of that great tribunal
with the dignity and learning that has
always characterized the actions OF JUS
tice Harlan during his long term OF serv-
ice on the supreme bench If length
of service counts for anything, he Is not
only richly deserving Of this promotlon,
hut he is eminently fitted because OF his
thorough knowledge of federal practice,
more especially because of his partlc1pa-
ton in all the decisions constituting the
circuit court of appeals act He. hao
served on the court nearly fourteen years
before the passage of that act, and so mas
participated in all the decisions in which
that act has come before the court for
construction. There seems to be no rea-
son even POLITICAL why President IaIt
should not, in this instance at least. adopt
the promotion system in filing the vacant
chief justiceship of the United states
Supreme Court.

the face of proof, that he had purchased
this drug. linked him inseparably with
the poisOn-laden remains in the absence
of any attempt on his part to explain
their presence beneath the floor of his
dwelling. This was the weak point Of
his defense.
His flight might have been excused on
the ground of panic. His wife might in
fact have deserted him in circumstances
possibly justifying his circulation of false
reports to conceal the true reason for
her departure. She might through pique
or pride or bitter hatred have remained
away. even while he was being tried for
his life and condemned, though such
perversity would signify fiendishness
explainable possibly only on the ground
of insanity. AS far as Belle Elmores
disappearance rs concerned it is possible
to account for it without presuming
crime, for there have been numerous
cases of people leaving their homes and
remaining lost forever, sometimes with
a complete lapse of their own memories
and a submergence of identity.
Thus on the score of absolute logic
there was nothing unbelievable in Grip
pens defense, save for the fact that he
was at every turn confronted with the
presence of those poisoned fragments
of flesh on his own premises, for which
he made no attempt whatever to ac-
count. Nor can the silence of the &C
cused on this point he rated as that OF
the helpless innocent faced with an in
explicable circumstance. In every as
pect of the case this discovery of human
remains beneath Crippen's floor tailed
with the whole theory of the crime upon
which he was tried and convicted
So that, though he did not confess
and went to the gallows by his silence
protesting his Innocence, his other 81 ence,
on the most vital point of the accusation
against him, must be accepted as tanta-
mount to an admission of guilt. Now
probably will come repetitions of the
Belle Gilmore story. There was
never a crime of this character where
the body of the victim was not absolute
" in evidence that did not produce
numerous finds after the punishment of
the accused. 1t is the inevitable cOrol-
larry of conviction upon circumstantial
evidence.

State Population Gains.

The population announcements for Kan

within the last few days do not strengthen
the hope that the final continental count
will carry the total to the point of ap-
proximately 93.OOO.OOO indicated by the
rate of gain maintained between 1880 and
1900. AS The Star pointed out the other
day the enumerations announced UP to
that time indicated state gain Of l7.OS

the continental total up to S9.336. OO5. In
order to bring the rate of gain up to
2l.S4 per cent, that of 1S90-l90O, it would
be necessary for the remaining states to
show a rate of gain of 2o.2S per cent. The
states since then announced. Kansas. New
York and Ohio. gained in the past ten
years at the rate OF about 10 per cent.

Thanksgiving.

In all the material conditions of life the
American people today have abundant
reason for giving thanks. They are pros
porous, at peace with the world and en-
dowed with undiminished energies and
resources. They have lately demonstrated
anew their ability to express their polit-
ical preferences at the polls without dis
turbance, and they now await the results
of their choice calmly, with confidence
that, whatever the personnel of parties
placed in power, the fundamental prin-
ciples of the American institutions of
government will prevail
In many parts of the world grave dis.
turbances are in evidence. Immediately
to the south the republic of Mexico is
seriously agitated by popular uprisings.
Farther to the south the note of mutiny
is sounded in Brazil. In Europe one coun-
try has lately passed through revolu-
ton which has overturned the long ex-
listing government. Immediately adjon-
ing. in Spain. conditions menace the sta
bility Of the present rule. In France
there is an incessant ebuliition of public
discomfort. In England affairs are in a
critical state owing to grave issues pre-
capitated between the classes:
When the American citizen looks abroad
and sees these signs Of restlessness he
feels inclined to give thanks on this day
for the possession of a system Of gov
eminent which, despite partisan differ
ences. commands universal respect and
confidence. The exceptionally high stand
ard of intelligence which here prevails Is
guarantee against sudden movements
in opposition to the established order
The vast majority of the American peo-
pie are capable of analysing conditions.
They keep in close touch with the affairs
of the world and with the circumstances
of their own land. They are growing
steadily in political acumen and are be-
coming more ana more efficiently indie
pendent in their determinations With
every peaceful political revolution they
strengthen the national foundations by
providing outlets for sentiments and dts
satisfactions.
Enormous crops have been harvested
this season. and the result appears in a
lowering of the prices of food supplies
Discomfort with the high cost Of living is
on the wane. Industries are everywhere
on the high tide of activity. There is
employment for practically all able-bod-
led, capable workers. Seldom in the past
has Thanksgiving day found the Amer
lean people so amply justified in express
ing their gratitude for the benefits which
Providence has bestowed upon them.

Nh. Bryan Against a Conference.

Mr.. Bryan opposes the proposed Balti-
more conference. He refers to it as
sounding a retreat" His idea seems to
be that there are democrats who did not
mean all they said in the recent cam
paign, and are anxious now to find a way
TO conservative ground They would in
terpret the victory i'm advance of the as
sembling of the new House. and try to
commit that body to line of procedure.
Well, the choice is between that and
waiting. Seventeen years ago the democ-
racy waited. In November. 1892, II won
at the polls by combination somewhat
resembling the one just triumphant. At
that time many republicans voted against
their party. ard many democrats did not
subscribe to what had been promised in
their name on the stump. In the east
were many men who although lifelong
democrats, had always been protectionists
They had never believed that protection
was robbery. Some of them had for years
been enjoying the fruits of the protection
policy.
There was no formal conference al
though Mr.. Cleveland was almost buried
under suggestions about what should be
done They came from all sections and.
while numerous between November and
March, multiplied greatly after his return
TO the White House. He was urged on
the one hand to put the tariff first, and
call Congress together to deal with the
matter al once. On the other hand he was
told that the silver question could not
wait. and that unless the purchasing
clause of the Sherman act was repealed
Immediately financial smash would come.
He was sorely perplexed. and for five
months drifted. He knew the divisions
that existed in his party on both ques-
tions. that the south was full of men who
would resist him on the money problem.
and the east as full of men who would
resist him on the tariff. At last business
conditions forced his hand, and the right
of way was given the silver problem.
The combination went to pieces on that.
and could never be reformed. When the
tariff was taken up Mr.. Cleveland faced
one way and Mr.. German the other, and
while a tariff bill was passed 1t was dis
credited in advance by Mr.. Clevelands
denunciation, and the victory of 1892
turned to ashes.
Both the men who are urging a confer
ence and MIR. Bryan who opposes one
know the difficulties ahead: know that
neither as TO the tariff nor any other
prominent issue is there today union of
sentiment among those who voted on the
18th instant for he candidates Of the dem
ocratic party.

THE Sucker List. +"

The Burr brothers had what in Wall
street is called 1.-The sucker hst''-that is,
the names of persons who bite readily.
1t must be lengthy. One of the discour-
aging signs Of the times is the eagerness
with which temptations for reckless in
vestments prevail. Not only inexperienced
women and young men just out of school,
but men of mature years and some sue
cess sometimes snap up propositions that
should not, on their very face, deceive
anybody. The love Of money is the root
or a good deal of credulity.
