A Most Astonishing Case of Law
leSSneSS ON the Part OF Those
Who Are Sworn to Exc
cute the Law.

say about the dismissal Of the case against
the big criminals Of the Sugar Trust.
Our readers must remember that it was dis
covered by agents of the Federal Govern
ment that the Sugar Trust had fixed the scales
at the New York Custom House. in such a.
manner that false weights in favor of the
Trust were given on all the sugar that came
through that port
1t was ascertained that these fraudulent
Welghlngs had been going on for years, and
that the amount which they had thus stolen
from the Government totaled about half a
million dollars
The Government instituted civil suit to
recover the money
This civil suit could not be defended bv
the Trust, and they settled it, paying over, in
acknowledgement of their guilt, very large
sum.
At the same time, the Federal grand iurv
indicted some of the sJlbordinates who were
concerned in the stealage
The public demanded so persistentlv the
punishment Of the men higher up, that the
grand jury got after Parsons. Thomas and
others who were the actual heads of the Sugar
Trust
In fact, it was the brains of Parsons that
evolved that most unreasonable and most I'M
scrupulous of all the Trusts
Our readers may perhaps recall the sensa-
ton which followed the publication of a letter
from Attorney General Wickersham to Dis
trct Attorney Wise, in which Wickersham
told his subordinate officer, Wise, that Presi-
dent Taft hoped that some way would be
round to prevent the indictments.
In this connection it is a significant fact
that the Presidents brother is the attorney
for the Sugar Trust, and that Mr. Wicker
sham was member of that law firm.
With one of their attorneys at the head of
our judiciary service, and another of them
the Presidents brother, it is not to be won
dered at that the the prosecution langui8hed
until the country had almost forgotten it.
Just before the election, the Chief Execu-
tive of this Nation feasted in public with the
head Of the Sugar Trust who was under in
dictment for huge frauds against the Gov
eminent whose laws President Taft is sworn
to execute.
After THAT, nobody could have expected
that the prosecution of Parsons would be
pressed.
A few days AFTER the election, District
Attorney Wise announced the dismissal Of the
prosecution of these millionaire criminals.
He gave no reason for his action that was
worth hill of beans.
1t was simply a shocking exhibition of the
difference which the law makes between the
rich and the poor
The men who steal meat and bread to pre-
vent the starvation of wife and child are
readily convicted and promptly sent away to
serve out term of imprisonment, leaving
wife and child to get food and shelter as best
they can.
But the millionaire thieves, who steal in
order that other millions may be added to
their lawless loot, can either not be convicted
at all, or they can buy their way out Of
prison.

tie lifters and robbers of express comanies.
Even the Texas rangers have shot down
horse thieves and cattle thieves. without any
form of trial, except the rude form lynchers
always give.
Murderers who killed without provocation
were swiftly shot or swung to limb.
Thus the notorious Wild Bill having been
fatally shot from the rear by a cowardly
enemy, was Immediately avenged by the
hanging Of his assassin.
The notorious Sede gave final offense by
getting wildly drunk and shooting up town;
he did not kill anybody Or seriously inj ure
any property, but the Vigilantes decided that
they had put up with Slede's lawless conduct
long enough, and they swung him up till he
died.
A man named Sanders was one of the Wig
ilante judges who condemned the desperate
to death.
His people afterwards elected him to repre-

Back of all statutes and all written con-
situations is that vast reservoir of power
which belongs to the people.
The constitutions and the statutes represent
that amount Of political power which has been
drawn from the reservoir.
The people themselves can, at any time,
meet in their severe on capacity, either in per-
son or by representations and take back into
the reservoir some of the powers which they
have allowed to be drawn from it. or they can
pour forth, from the original reservoir, more
power than they have hitherto granted.
Judges and juries put criminals to death
because the people have conferred that right
upon them.
But the people, like every individual can,
when the necessity arises, do themselves that
immediate Justice which might be defeated
were they to await the slow action of the
courts
That is one of the grand principles of juris-
prudence, and Gov Blease, whether aware Of
it or not, planted himself firmly on the ground
which justifes lynch law.
It panied me to see that T. Bosh Fielder
was one of the Georgia guardians who was
shocked by the speeches of Gov. Blease.
The high tone of morality taken by t.
BOsh almost made me doubt whether he was
the same person who paved with ducats Chas.
w. Morse's way out of the penitentiary.
BY the way, note that the Georgia papers
are making an cutlery about Gov. Bleases
pardons.
am curious to know whether he pardoned
any negro who crept up to poor white mans
house at nightfall and shot both his eyes out.
I also have some curiosity to know whether
he saved from the gallows any white man
who raped his own step-daughter.
We Georgians live in glass house, and we
had better be careful with our rocks.

FIREsHIPS IN SEA FIGHTS.
And tho Floating Volcanoes That Wore
Called wnfernals.'

NnM.ing in the thrilling narratives Of
many old SEA fights appeals more
strongly to the modern imagination
than the doings of the iireships.
The idea of using in%cendiary vessels
for the destruction Of Il hostile feet
was Of great antiquity. They are said

Tyre in 1913 L. c. and again by the
Rhedians about a century and Il half
later. BY the English. however. they
were first used in 1870. and two cen
turtles later had come to be looked upon

tacks being regarded and dreaded in
much the same way rs are those of
the torpedo craft and submarines at
the present time.
The explosion vessels. OF "in%fcrnals,"
invented by the Italian engineer Giant
belli were the most formidable. The
designer procured two vessels Of about
eighty tons each and laid along their
bottom a foundation of brickwOrk.
Upon this he erected Il marble cham
Der with five foot walls containing 5000
tons Of %gunpOwder. while on the top OF
this chamber was a six foot layer Of
gravestoncs placed edgewise. A marble
roof rose over these. and upon it was
piled a quantity Of round shot, chain
shot. millstones, blocks Of stone. iron
shod beams and anything heavy which

lateral effect. The effect of this float
ing volcano was appalling. for the

and flung skyward by the explosive,
fell and destroyed any vessels, build
ings or men in the vicinity.
Three years later the Spanish armada
before Calais was attacked by fireships
prepared by the English. Eight vessels
were selected, and so great was the
haste that not even their guns or stores
were removed. They were ignitd and
launched and with the wind and tide
in their favor advanced straight for
the center Of the anchored armada.

the eventual battle of GraveIines the
success it was.
The most recent and ut the same
time one of the most interesting fire
ship exploits which ever took place was
that carried out against the French
feet in Basque Roads in 1900 by Lord
Cochrane. His explosion vessel. in

the vessel and lit the train ut the last

When he was in Washington last

he described his presentation to the
