July 17, i989, — ~ CROSBY 8, NOYES... - Editor, TRE EVENING STAR has the fullest Local Cireulation of any Newspaper in the Wortd. and as en Advertising Medium is wort ‘more than all the ciker payers published Ip Washington. Hew York Office: Room 93, Tribune Building. —oCoCOCO SS = Tae Evexixa Stan will be sent by mail to any address in the United States or Canada for such period as may be desired, at the rate of fifty cents per month G2” But all such orders must be accompanied by the money, Or te paper cannot be sent, as no accounts are epl with mari subscriphons. eB ~ ewe It is presumed thatas clever a lawyer as Sir Charles Russell and as cool a tactician as Mr. Parnell have well considered the bearings of | such step as bas been taken by the counsel for the Irish patriots before the commission of | $52. inquiry in withdrawing from the case. If the court is making apfair rulings and the program of Ireland's enemies is to wear out the defend- ants in patience and in purse by an indefinite Prolongation of the trial. this is perhaps the only course left the [rish leaders to pursue in order to pat their wrongs plainly before their English fellow sabjects. At the same time, it | ia a good deal like a boxer’s dropping his hands | and taking a beating because his opponent per- sists, as long as his fists are up for defense, in striking him below the belt, The time when, ‘theoreticaliy, shrewd legal counsel is most meeded, is when « person is on trial before a court adversely prejudiced. Daniel O'Connell made many a fierce fight against a bench “organized to convict.” Emmet's struggle to the last to free himself by legal means is | familiar to all readers of Irish history, although he knew when he came into court that his death sentence was as good as already written. In our own country, warfare between bar and bench bas occurred again and again, and about | every real reform in jurisprudence has been brought about by such means. The last strik- ing example of it was in New York city, before the iron grip of the Tammany ring upon all branches of the local government had been loosened. It was the plain speaking of the lawyers practising before the supreme court there which drove Cardoza to resign to escape punishment; brought about the impeachment, disgrace and death of Barnard, and bound a third judge over to good behavior to the end of histerm, It sometimes pays better in the end to stick to afight, even at the cost of de-| feat, than to retreat because the conditions are inequitable. But it may be that Messrs, Par- neli and Russell feel that they have already a jarge enough undertaking on their hands in looking after their immediate interests without going into the business of reforming the whole judicial system of Great Britain. ————————— A “school-book trust” is probably the plain- set way of putting the case of the publishers who have combined to reduce expenses and ex- pand trade by establishinga central govern- | ment and acting in concert. The necessity for some change of methods has been obvious for | years. Competition has become so very brisk that it is a common complaint that there is “‘no money in school books.” The effect of such a | state of things has been injurious all around. | In the first place, scandals without number Ihave broken loose in various parts of the coun- try, exposing the machinations of unscrupulous nts for placing their wares on the market, i the collusive activity of certain members of school boards who would see in the schemes of the agents a chance to augment their incomes by 2 sort of polite blackmail if not by actual bribery. In the second place, the quality of the work on many of the text-books has suffered. In order to capture attention for their products the publishers have “bought names”—that is, pro- cured the use of the names of well known men on their title-pages, irrespective of the share these men have had in the actual writing; or jamped at novelties of style and method with- out regard to their adaptation to the needs of | the young learners; or, what is worse than | either of the others, they have given their orders for new books to mere mechanical com- | pilers, with no real education, but a clever | faculty for the use of the scissors and the de- vising of untried forms of patchwork. ‘Thus far, the trust may serve the public ad- vantage; but it is bound also to betray its | } Cizsmxe Satz Parozs ‘A comparison of Palais Royal Clasring Sale Prices ‘with the Credit Store Clearing Sale Prices will con- Vince you more effectual thans column of reasons showing why s Strictly Cash Business always enables Jower prices than where credit is given.

These missives resemble the literature which flooded the press at the time when the identity of “Jack the Ripper” was first vexing | the minds of the British police authorities. It | is a cherished amusement for some persons of the light-minded variety ‘to manufacture or stimulate popular sensations with such crude material as letters accidentally dropped in the | streets, or messages from the sea corked up in bottles and washed upon the beach. There however, abuut most of these home-made pro- | ducts a certain favor which betrays their ori- gin, and such is the case in the letters relating to the Cronin case, In real life, it is the cus- | tom for people engaged in dark and desperate | deeds to confine the mention of them in cor- | respondence to hints and mysterious allusions | and to subscribe an assumed or familiar mame, but every one of the writers of the Cronin letters makes s spread- eagle reference to the necessity of making away with that “spy and traitor,” etc., ete., and signs » name with the greatest circum- staptiality, even to the initial in the middie, if | the name seems tobe incomplete without one. Tustead of spending a grest deal of time and money in bunting down such clews, the police ean better afford to wait till the epidemic is! over. When no special attention is paid longer to letters found lying about in tempting profu- sion, it is safe to predict that the mill which grinds them out will cease to work. oo The sudden death of the imventor Seymour, carrying his secret with him, will give rise to a suspicion in many minds that his process for making aluminium out of common clay was nearly akin to Mr. Keely’s process for con- structing a giant motor out of nothing. This must always be the result of an inventor's lock- ing up his ideas wholly within himself. No matter how honest his secret, if he believes he has discovered one, he owes it to his own repu- tation, to the friends who will bave to defend The risk he rune of betrayal is as noth- the chances of having his own good damaged and bis backers involved in pecuniary loss by an accident which he can in is, | 2 Above prices are for the Biack Gloves, Those in colors are reduced to ONLY 50c.
