The Brandt Case.

The complications over the Brandt case
in New York multiply with the days. un-
til the unlearned public is utterly con-
fused. Now it Is announced that the
governor will pardon the man, who was
sentenced to thirty years for burgiarious
entry. Next 1t is stated that the gov
ernor will not pardon him Then 1t is
pointed out that the governor could not
pardon him II he wished, for his sentence
has been revoked and he has been COM
mitted for q new trial. Next the gov
ernor finds that he cannot proceed with
his own inquiry because of the courts
action. Again, 1t is stated that the grand
jury will tndict Brandt's former employer
and the latter's lawyer for conspiracy.
PROCEEDINGS for q new trial are in hand.
The whole affair is q mass Of contradtc-
tions and cross purposes. and there Is
danger that If a short cut is not taken
to do justice, to punish those who may
have been guilty Of using the courts for
private vengeance and to insure that
whatever this man has done deserving of
punishment is visited with tho proper
penalty. the public distrust of court pro-
cedure. already in some quarters keen
to the point of serious dissausfa ction,
will be intensified.

The Baby Prisoner.

The woman who put acid in the babies
milk at Brooklyn institution and caused
the death Of eight has confessed her
crime, explaining that she did this
thing because she wanted to revenge
herself on the nurses. who, she fancied.
had treated her 1tntustly. She did not in
tend to kill the children, but merely to
make them III, SO that the nurses would
have more work to do. Had she not been
interrupted she would probably have put
the acid into all the bottles. and so
caused the death OF every child in the
institution. There are evidences that the
woman's mind is unbalanced. Indeed
the crime can be understood under no
other assumption. The woman was her
self q mother and had shown the most
intense love for her own child The idea
Of persecution seemed to have gained
possession Of her.. perhaps the most per-
nictous thought that can enter the mind
OF any one. and likely to lead to pro-
nnunced mental disorder, and to tragedy.
A very large percentage Of the crimes Of
genuine insanity are inspired by the
thought Of revenge for fancied wrongs
and sufferings.

The Children at Lawrence.

The strike Of the textile workers at
Lawrence. Mass, marks a new stage
in American labor troubles. 1t has
from the first been bitterly contested.
passing through the usual phases OF
attempted police control. followed by
the ordering Of the militia and the ar
rest Of strike leaders. Up to that point
this trouble was in no wise different
from hundreds of others that have
occurred between workers and en-
ployers in all parts Of this country.
Recently, however, a new device was
tried to prolong the endurance OF the
strikers, whose organization funds were
running low. 1t was agreed among
them that the smaller children should
be sent away to various places where
they could be properly cared for by
relatives or friends or sympathizers
with the strike. This would not only
relieve the financial strain upon the
parents, but would give them greater
courage to continue the fight. Several
score Of children were sent out OF
Lawrence under this agreement. The
mill owners recognized this as a war
measure and endeavored to stop It. Yes
terday the issue came when 1t was un-
dertaken to send fifty children away
from the city to places in Providence
and Philadelphia prepared for them.
Under orders OF the city marshal the
police prevented their departure, sep
arating the children from the parents
and driving the latter away from the
railroad station.
The Intervention Of the authorities
to prevent the parents of the Lawrence
strikers from making provision for
their children in other cities is one of
the most extreme measures in opposi-
ton to a strike that has ever been
adopted in this country. 1t raises to
an acute pitch the question of the right
Of oflcials acting under anything less
than military law, to trespass upon the
personal liberty Of the individual. In
deed. 1t Is difficult to see how the ac-
ton can be justified on any ground
unless the Lawrence authorities will
put the town under martial law and
thereby suspend all guarantees. The
separation Of the children from the
parents may incidentally assist the
strikers, but so long as no law Is vio-
lated while it is being done the act
Of prevention is in itself an act of vio-
lence which places the municipality on
precisely the same plane as strikers
who are resisting enforcement of
statutes.
This Lawrence proceeding must be
rated as q blunder. 1t Is certain to
evoke sentiment against the officials
and the mill owners. The children of
the strikers are sure to be much bet
ter of out of town: and what little the
mill owners may have gained by pre-
venting their departure will be more
than offset by hardening the resistance
Of the workers. They now have more
bitter sense of grievance than before.
and the original Issue has been further
obscured and complicated by this new
question. 1t is safe to predict that the
Lawrence children will be allowed to
leave town, for In all probability wiser
counsels will prevail and the foolish
mistake of this attempted interference
with parental rights will be undone.
But 1t is another question whether the
mischief of this action will be as easily
remedied.
