The Thaw Case Disclosures.

1t is a singular commentary on the
state of public morals in New York that
the only way apparently in which legal
basis for securing the return of Harry
Thaw from any outside Jurisdiction to
which he may have fled and where he
may be apprehended is to charge him
with conspiracy with officials of the state
government Thus it will be necessary
10 gain a standing in court that will
enable New York to get possession of
Thaw TO proclaim broadcast the fact that
he corrupted trusted authorities, thereby
showing that the men who have been
placed in responsible positions have been
fecreant yielding to the influence Of
money to permit a dangerous character
TO regain his liberty. If Thaw Is sane
New York must at the same time widely
proclaim the failure of its courts to ad-
minister justice. Judged from any point
of view, therefore, the Thaw case in its
present aspect places the commonwealth
of New York in an embarrassing posi-
ton. But with the state govern
ment involved as it is today In a
complete confusion Of administration
through the impeachment of the governor
and his refusal to observe the constitu-
tional requirement. possibly a matter
like the Thaw escape, with it's consequent
disclosures and significances, will not be
felt by the people Of that state as q d.
lemma.

state as respects both agriculture and
manufacture. Birmingham is called the
Pittsburgh Of the south. and Mobile has
promise of large increase in business
and population when the Panama
canal begins to justify itself. Why
should not a state. with so much in the
scale and more coming. draw upon her
best resources in choosing public serv-
ants. and especially for duty in Con-
gress. where important business ques-
lions are now up and for some years

In giving such men as Morgan and
Pugh and Pettus to the country Ala

her own as well as the country's sake
she should be at great pains to keep.

Paying the Cost-1 War.
! Naw yo.r Oommorci.l

From the New York Commercial.
Industrial depression is almost inevi-
tably the aftermath Of war. The with
drawal of men from productive labor to
serve in the ranks and the waste OF
money worse than burned up are always
felt. Even our little war with Spain
checked business, and not only England
but all Europe suffered when the Boer
war bills were paid. Italy wrested Trip
oil from Turkey at comparatively little
expense in lives and treasure, but the
disturbance of industries in northern
Italy, the most prosperous and progress
i've part Of the kingdom, has resulted in
so much misery that strikes and riots
have assumed dangerous proportions.
Agriculture was neglected during the
war, and the cost of living has risen,
while manufacturers find trade depressed
and claim to be unable to pay higher
wages though the demands Of the united
workers amount to only half cent an
hour of added pay. Europe will have to
pay for the Balkan war next, and this is
what makes money dear and depresses its
stock markets England and the United
States have wasted neither time nor
money in preparing for war in the last
year, and will profit accordingly, though
both will feel the effects Of dear money
for some time. The Bank of England
has held its discount rates on a high
basis for nearly ten months, a longer
period of dear money in that center than
has been experienced since the Crimean
war some sixty years ago.

The Feather Amendment.

1t is to be hoped that the agreement
informally entered into to recommit the
bird feather amendment to the tariff
bill will be carried into effect with the
result of the abandonment Of this item,
against which an emphatic protest has
arisen which the Senate cannot fail to
recognize as sincere and significant AS
the bill passed the House it afforded pro-
lection to the plumage wild birds. AS 1t
emerged from the Senate committee on
finance it virtually put premium upon
their destruction. If the Senate COM
mittee's amendment is incorporated in
the bill it must go into conference, with
the possibility of its ultimate retention
or modification in a way still to leave
the way open for the serious injury to
wild bird life. possibly the complete ex-
tinction Of some of the most beautiful
species. The safe, sure way is to elimi-
nate the Senate amendment entirely. and
this should be the result of the agree
ment which informally resulted from
Senator McLean's vigorous speech in the
Senate Saturday.
This is subject upon which men of
all parties and factions can agree with
out doing violence to any concept of
tariff principle. 1t is non-partisan
truth that If the Senate amendment
stands the process of eliminating the
most beautiful wild birds will be ac-
CELEBRATED. There is no question here of
revenue tariff or protective tariff or
free trade, but simply a question of how
to check needless destruction of wild
life. Birds are slaughtered in the most
barbarous manner for the sake of GER
tain feathers. Society does not require
them, but it is to the interest of mil
liners and the makers of and dealers in
millinery supplies that the taste for
such adornments is cultivated The
adoption Of this pending amendment will
not lower the cost of living. will not af-
feet the wages of any class Of workers,
will not make life easier for any peo-
pie, but it will on the other hand sure
ly hasten the complete extinction of sew
eral species of birds.
The sentiment in behalf of the conser-
walton of bird life Is not to be lightly
disregarded as merely fanciful It comes
from all classes Of society and the SEN
ate will be wise to heed the protests
which are even now pouring in upon it
from all quarters The sure way to
recognize this almost universal public de-
mand will be to refer the amendment
back to committee and there suppress it.

The Major Issue at Albany.

The suggestion has been made that It IL
immaterial in the matter Of the Albany
muddle. whether Gov. Sulzer is guilty or
innocent of the charges brought against
him, but the main issue is whether MUIR
phyism" shall triumph or be crushed. A
correspondent suggests to The Star that
1t is mo time for academic moralizing
on minor side Issues but that Gov.
Sulzer should be sustained II he Is
competent general in this fight against
Murphy and for good government"
1t is doubtless true that a large num-
Der of the people of this country are In
sympathy with Gov. Sulzer in his present
predicament because he has been fighting
Tammany and its influence and because
Of the universal belief that II he had
been willing to yield to the Tammany in
fiuence no attempt would have been made
to impeach him. But the highest issue
after all Is not SO much the downing OF
Tammany as the enforcement Of the law.
Just at present the major issue regards
the effectiveness of the state constitution.
In the matter Of the penderscy OF Suffers
powers as governor while awaiting trial
upon impeachment Not even those who
regard Tammany as q baleful influence
and applaud Sulzers fight against 1t can
condene the Generalization Of the state
government in the face of the plain letter
not merely Of the constitution but Of the
penal code providing that upon impeach-
ment-not CONJUNCTION but accusation
alone-the powers OF the governor shall
devolve upon the lieutenant governor
The fight against Tammany. 1t is now
plain. must be led by some other one
than Sulzer, although the campaign
against him Is SO obviously part Of the
Tammany game of blackmail and coer-
cion. 1t Is in the last degree essential

Alabama.

The late Senator Johnston was a can
didate for reelection. His opponent
was Representative Hobson. and they
had been making a spirited campaign.
Mr.. Johnston's friends were pleased
with the outlook. and he himself was
confident of success.
Capt. Hobson, however. was confident
also. and is now working harder than
ever. He CONSTITUTES the appointment of
Mr.. Clayton to the vacancy as a move
on Gov. O'NeaPs part to groom Mr.
Clayton against him, Hobson, for the
race before the people.
The public has accepted the appoint
ment as primarily for the purpose of
strengthening the Senate's majority for
the tariff bill. In Mr.. Johnston's death
vote was lost. and Gov O'Neal was
urged to make good the loss at once.
As between making an appointment
and calling the legislature together in
extra session for action on the matter
he chose the former means, and pro-
duced the controversy the Senate is
entering upon.

Mexico and the United States.

An official denial from the City of Mex
leo of the statement that the Huerta
government has demanded that the United
States grant immediate recognition with
the alternative of the withdrawal of the
passports of the diplomatic representative
there relieves the situation of immediate
tension. 1t does not, however solve the
problem with which the administration is
confronted. \ solution is yet to be found
in Mexico City or in this city. Denial
of a published intention to sever diplO-
matte relations. failing American recog
milton. raises a question of the source of
the information which this morning
startled the country into the belief that
the crisis in our relations with Mexico
had come with the possibility of war
acutely imminent. To what end is this
Misrepresentation? Is there deliberate
purpose to force the administration into
hostile action? Is there deception in Mex
leo City respecting the purposes of that
government in order to confuse the issues
and embarrass the United States in its
efforts to restore peace?
1t must be acknowledged that the send
ing of Special Envoy Lind to Mexico City
was not regarded generally as an as
ing working basis for effective media
tion- On the other hand it was recog-
nized as a questionable expedient, per-
haps exposing the United States to pre-
cisely the embarrassment that has been
indicated in the dispatches from the Mex
lean capital, now formally denied. It
was. in short, a forlorn hope, and nothing
has occurred since Mr.. Lind landed at
Vera Cruz to change that aspect of the
case or to increase the chances of sue
cess. The only favorable factor has been
that Lind has been secure from molesta-
ton and that the Huerta government
has consented to receive his note con-
veying the proposals Of this country look
ing to peace.
1t has been intimated that if as the
result Of a rejection by Huerta of the
Lind mission the mediation of the United
States fails this government will with
draw the embargo on the importation of
arms, thus giving the constitutionalists an
advantage in the civil war now raging.
This, however. will not settle the Ques-
ton. 1t will not insure a stable govern
ment in Mexico even though it makes an
immediate change of administration there
possible 1t will not establish guarantees
of security for American or European cit
liens residing in Mexico or investors with
large interests there. In short, the whole
Mexican problem is one of prolonged diff
1culty, and while there may be doubt as
to the efficacy of the Presidents moves
for its solution, there should be a uni
-versal disposition in this country to sup
port him.

Cluster of Womanhood."
From the New York World

Senator Ben Tillman Is exhibiting grave
concern over the degrading influence on
women Of the right to vote I'VE had
better" he says, endure the evils of
corruption in politics and debauchery in
our government, rather than bring about
a condition which will mar the beauty
and dim the luster Of the glorious woman
hood to which we have been accustomed
all our lives We can better afford to
have degraded and corrupt politics than
degraded and bad women" 1t would in
deed be a scandalous thing for women
voters to interfere in any way with the
exalted quality of government South
Carolina has SO long enjoyed. And 1t is
painful to consider what might happen
If women went to the polls to vote
against Gov. Cole Blease. Voting has
never caused any deterioration in mems
character, and 1t is not clear how 1t can
dim the luster' of womanhood. This
kind of argument is about the most futile
and least consequential of all the pleas
advanced against woman suffrage.

In complacent tone
This little song he sweetly sings:
Let well enough alone"
Though some may rail and tear their hal
He says the way to live
Is to ignore all signs of care
And be conservative.
But when with Bings affairs go wrong
He'll quickly change the key
And lift melancholy song
AS earnest as can be.
For harmony he strives no more,
But midst mental storm
Rejects the placid pose of yore
And hollers for reform!

Welfare of the Child.
From the Newark Star.

The most pleasing, satisfactory and
wholesome development OF our age is the
practical interest that is taken in the
children. Public schools we have had
many years, but 1t was thought that
few hours tuition was all that the public
was called upon to give the children. For
everything else they must trust to their
parents and chance. Today in every
city there are well equipped Fairgrounds.
there are gymnasiums and assembly halls
in the schools. there are medical attend
ance and dental clinics. The system of
teaching has been changed to include
those things that belong to future occu-
pations in life. In many new ways the
child has become an important factor In
the life OF the community.

Contempt for Tammany.
From the New York Evening Post.

II anything were lacking to let Boss
Murphy know in what opinion he is held
by the people Of this state, 1t would be
supplied by the extraordinary defenses of
Gov. Sulzer which are appearing in let
tiers to newspapers and in public meet
ings. The gtst OF them Is that Sulzer
may have been as crooked as his assail-
ants declare. but that, at any rate, he is
an angel Of light compared with MUIR
ply. Say what you will of the governor,
is the tenor OF all this. but admit that
Murphy is ten times worse. Such is the
nature Of this wonderful Tammany "tri-
umph"! 1t simply results In showing
that Murphy Is an object of universal
detestation. All. If it had only been
to that had attacked the Tammany boss
how the whole state would have risen
