6 THE EVENIN NG STAR. “WASHINGTON FRIDAY. ..JSaly 9, 1897. CRosoy Ss. ! culation of the other Washington dailies. As a News and Advertising Medium it has no competitor. t7In order to avoid delays, on ac count of per: ence, letters to THE STAR a be addressed t y individual connected with the office, but simply to THE STAB, oF to the Editerial or Business Depart- ments, according to tenor er purpose. The Special Silver Envoys. ‘The latest news from the special envoys sent abroad to sound official sentiment on the silver question encourages hope of an- other international congress. The envoys are now in London, have been formally re- ceived by Lord Salisbury, and in addition to the assistance of the American embassy, they are to enjoy that of the French em- bassy in pressing their case upon the at- tention of the British government. Their success in Paris was such that when tney left. the French authorities kindly volun- teered to lend them their influence in Lon- don, and instructed the French minister there accordingly. The length of the stay in London has not been fixed. From Lon- don the envoys will go to Berlin, and upon the conclusion of their labors there will re- turn home. It remains the fashion in certain circles to sneer at this mission, and to predict its utter failure. The wish, of course, is father to the thought. England, it is insisted, will never change her present financial policy, and without the co-operation of England nothing can be accomplished. England, the critics of this mission aay, may consent to send delegates to another pow-wow, but if she does it will signify at most only an act of courtesy. Another conference will simply mean another exchange of views, and no more. The history of the Brussels conference will be repeated, and that will end the matter. But those who advance these views take mo note of the changes in the situation here and elsewhere which have occurred since the Brussels conference was held. ‘There was not the depression at that time that everywhere exists now. There was not the demand then that now exists for a solution of the difficulty. Attention then Was not nearly so generally fixed on the question of a larger use of silver by inter- national agreement as it now is. In this country in particular so great a change has taken place since the Brussels confer- ence was held that a most spirited national campaign has been fought on the silver question, and bimetallism by international agreement won by a popular majority of three-quarters of a million of votes. Another International conference, there- fore, would have to consider the question in a light in many particulars different from that in which the Brussels conference considered it. The work of the special envoys is being done with scrupulous regard for all of the Proprieties. There is no boasting—no trav- eling with a brass band. The conferences held are not detailed fur the benefit of the public. Extravagant ciaims are not put out. But such reports as may with pro- Priety be made are such as give the friends of bimetallism a good deal of confidence. > ___ sham G. Harris. The District leses a good friend and the Senate a most serviceable member in the death of Isham Green Harris. For prac- tically all his long life he was prominently before the public, first of his own state and then of the nation, and throughout his career he was notable for his keen view of affairs. He served four years in the House of Representatives, was chosen governor of Tennessee three times and sat twenty years in the Senate. His greatest fame in late years was as a parliamentarian, and it is probably true that no greater ex- pounder of the rules of deliberative bodies ever served in Congress. Men of all parties deferred to his knowledge of the standing and special rules, and they were always in- terpreted by him without partisan preju- dice. He conducted himself in the Senate with deep deference to the needs of his censtituents, and was a hard worker for his state throughout his career. The capital city knew him as chairman of the District committee at various times, and in this capacity he was frequently of great service in advancing liberal projects for the public gcod. His marked peculiarities of person- ality and manner rendered him one of the most striking figures in the Senate. soe Too Big «a Contract. Senator Wellington says he will not con- test the unanimous report of the Senate Committee on Commerce for confirming B. HH. Warner, Jr., to the Leipsic consulship. It begins to dawn on him probably that his undertaking to “down” the President and his cabinet, and Congress, and the republi- can party, and the voters of Maryland was rather too big a contract for a man of his inches. [t is unfortunate for him and his party that his foresight was not equal to his hindsight. —+¢2—___. A coal operator suggests that the strikers can take sixty cents a ton for the present and later ask for more. If in the mean- lime they happen to take a fancy to the moon iney car also ask for that, this be- ing a country in which freedom of speech is guaranteed. Se a ‘The Martyrdom of Crime. oes of the famous raid of the Young- ers in the town of Northfield, Min- twenty-one years ago, are now be- ing heard through a renewal of the effort to secure the pardon of Cole and James Younger, the sole remaining members of the famous gang of bank robbers. These men were captured, with thelr brother I a few days after the raid, in the course of which they killed the cashier of the bank and an innocent Swedish by- stander who did not understand their or- ders. Bob Younger died in prison some }ears ago and now the question of pardon- ing the remaining criminals, who are serv- ing life sentences, is agitating the citizens of Missouri and Minnesota. The people of the former state have always been inclined to ensbrine the Younger brothers as heroic figures, suffering martyrdom at the hands of the law in an unfriendly community. ‘The same sentimentality prevailed on the part of the general public there in the case ef the notorious James brothers, who were engaged in very much the same busi- ness as the Young Indeed it ts prac- Ucally certain that these outlaws, Frank and Jesse James, were members of the gang that terrorized Northfield in 1876, though their identity was never fully dis- <losed. The survivors of the gang have al- ways spoken of “two others” whose names they would not reveal. Three of the rob- bers and murderers were killed in the raid and pursuit. A petition is now about to be presented to the board of pardons of Minnesota signed by the most prominent citizens and officials of Missouri. In the list of peti- tioners are United States judges, governors, every state officer of Missouri, nearly the entire state delegation in Congress and ail ef the judges of the state supreme court. ‘The body that is to consider this remark- able plea for clemency for the two self- confessed murderers and robbers will meet Fext Monday in semi-annual session, and Public attention in the two states directly [interested as well as in other sections of jhe country where the Northfield raid is still a distinct memory is closely fixed upon the outcome of the effort to secure a par- don. Public opinion in Minnescta is strongly against clemency, though there are some citizens and a few prominent officials, in- cluding the warden of the prison, who be- Neve that the ends of justice have been served by the imprisonment of the men for twenty-one years. The people of North- fleld, where the outrage occurred, are prac- ically unanimous in their denunciation of tBe sentimentality that seeks to turn these criminals loose after their solemn convic- tion on a crime that richly merited a death e@enterce, which, however, was prohibited by the state laws then in force. It is as- serted by the peaceful residents of North- field that the pardoning of the Youngers will stimulate the lynching spirit among the people, whose faith in the efficacy of the law to fully protect them and punish their assailants will receive a severe shock. It is urged on behalf of the Youngers that they have been exemplary prisoners, never having given the least trouble. On the other hand it is declared that they have al- ready received their reward for good con- duct by being given soft berths in the state’s prison. One of the men is the prison postmaster and the other the pharmacist. Much of the sentiment in their favor arose from the fact that the prisoner who died had become intensely devout and having studied theology in prison declared his tr- tention of becoming a minister if he should be pardoned. The mainspring of the movement in be- half of the Youngers, however, seems to be a certain tenJency of thought in Missouri that has always resulted in heroizing such bandits as the James brothers and the Youngers. There is too much fondness, it would szem, for deeds of daring and open- handed defiance of the laws of life and property. The Youngers’ release at this time would be an outrage upon decent gov- ernment and would set a premium upon lawlessness and crime. No good end could be served. The prisons of the country are doubtless filled with men who have sincere- ly repented of their misdeeds and who could be safely turned loose once more, but the moral effect of such clemency would Se most disastrous, in affording an encour- aging example to all classes of evil-doers. It ts to be hoped that the Minnesota board of pardons and the governor will stand firm against the dangerous appeals for mercy for these criminals, and thus save the state from the shame of such an affront to the law. ———_-+ + —___. The Government and Science. A writer in Appleton’s Popular Science Monthly recently took issue with a sug- gestion thet has been made that a govern- ment department of science should be cre- ated. He bases his objection on several grounds; that such a department would probably be too vague in its objects and too little governed by a sense of the prac- tleal to be of satisfactory service to the public; that it would surely wander off into purely theoretical work and take up fads of scientific research, and that in a few years it would assume a character never contemplated by its founders. ‘This 1s pretty broad theorizing. Enough work of a scfentific character has already been done by the government to warrant the beltet that the field is by no means yet fully covered. One notion of the case is that the nation should relegate all such effort to the private agencies for investigation and research, such as the colleges and univer- sities. The difficulty of such a plan is that there is much duplication, much waste of time and energy through following paths that have already been laid down, and little system in the conduct of the enterprise. The universities, too, regard the field of general science largely in the light of af- fording practice for their students. Indi- viduals there are, to be sure, who pursue original inquiries and some of the best work has been done and soine of the most valuable discoveries have been made by such agencies. The government has never contemplated the substitution of its bu- reaus for these private enterprises. ‘The thought that has animated the suggestion of a national bureau of science has rather been to utilize the university and college and other private means of research and to take advantage of them and to supplement them. By means of such a bureau there could proiably be supplied to the now scattered scientific work of the educational institutions that directness and system that they lack and the lack of which has in many cases resulted in wasted energy. The government has already done some fine work on scientific lines. The geolog- ical survey and the Smithsonian—the latter the result of a private bequest—have set a splendid example both in original research and in the utilization of private discoveries. ‘The former bureau has been of great prac- tical value, and has thoroughly refuted the suspicion that a government department of science would necessarily run off to too much theorizing. The bureau of ethnolo- wy, too, has done work that could not otherwise have been accomplished in the way of rescuing the history of the Ameri- ean aborigines from utter oblivion. This in itself may not be “practical,” but it be- comes pertinent to inquire just where the line between the “practical” and the scien- tific is to be drawn. It is a broad charac- terization, and too frequently used care- lessly. Had the test of absolute practica- bility as measured by the standards of every-day necessities of life always been ruthlessly applied to the domain of science the world today would probably lack many of the great blessings and benefits that have been literally stumbled across by search- ers along abstruse and apparently useless lines. A government as great as this, with such a multitude of interests to guard, can well afford to patronize the abstract sciences, for their own sakes as well as in the hope of securing thereby some positive return. — + +e ____ The objection that the annexation of Hawaii will in the course of time add to the number of senators is not impressive. It is difficult to see how a few more or lesa would mzke much difference in the rate uf speed at which business is trans- acted. —__ + + + ____ The Bi: enn of Criminals, The blindness of those contemplating the cemmission of crime, or who, having com- mitted it, are seeking to further the ends gained or to hide it, kas long been a theme for the psychologists. The keenest as weil as the ordinary intelligence is shown to work at signal disadvantage in such cir- cumstances, and to blunder in the most fatuous way. Some exceedingly nice and difficult points of a scheme may be ar- ranged with great skill and shrewdness, and yet the whole scheme be left open to discovery by negiecting what in compari- son appears to be the merest triviality. This latest murder in New York is an in- structive case in point. Not a high order of intelligerce was involved, but the par- ties showed ccrtrivance and some cunning up to a certain point, and then blindness seized them. Thern and Mrs. Nack could plan the murder of Guildensuppe, but they could not see how, whether the pieces of his body ever came to light or not, his disappearance would inevitably cause re- mack and lead to an investigation. Their idea was that If they could kill him and make tientification of the dismembered body impossible they would be perfectly secure. And so considering, they arranged to Hve together in another part of town. But they would not have been secure ff no part of the body hed ever been recovered. The disappearance of Guildensuppe would have caused an investigation, and sus- picion would have attached to both his former paramour and his rival. And their THE EVENING STAR, FRIDAY, ‘SULY 9, 1897-12 PAGES. been a circumstance strongly confirmatory of guilt or guilty knowledge. It was known that the two men had fought about the woman and that Guildensuppe had driven Thorn off. So that, with Guildensuppe un- accounted for, and Thorn and the woman occupying a new home together, an tnves- tigation of Guildensuppe’s disappearance would almost certainly have led to the un- covering of the crime. There was likewise the usual blindness of guilt In the reasoning of the three people about their relations and obligations to one another. Guildensuppe complained of Mrs. Neck because she was not true to him. And yet he had seen her repudiate her own husband. Mrs. Nack complained of Guil- densuppe because of his attentions to ether women. And yet it was this very lawless spirit of the man which had originally brought him to her own side. She seemed to think, however, that this lawlessn shculd have ceased right there and the man become from that moment a pattern of constancy and good conduct. And Thorn, for his part, with full knowledge of the fact that the woman had betrayed her husband, and then the paramour who had succeeded him in her favor, was put- ting himself into her power In the matter of murder in which he was to be the active executioner. He was utterly unable to see that such a thing as keeping faith in any matter great or small was entirely out of the question between two such people as Mrs. Nack and himself; and in his blind- ness and viciousness, but evidently with a sense of security, he carried out his part of the appalling contract. Nothing ts more certain than that, if these two creatures had not been appre- hended, another tragedy would in time, and in no long time, have followed the one just ecmmitted. Either Thorn would have killed Mrs. Nack, or she would have killed him. Both are fiends, and even the bond of crime would not long have held them to- gether. The extraordinary nature of that bond, indeed, might the more violently have rent them asunder. Then it would have been a race, so to speak, for poison, the knife, or the pistol, between two creatures equally capable of employing any means of taking humen life. ———~>+2—___- The fact that a large number of the South Carolina dispensers are short in their accounts is another reminder of the risk a state runs by getting too much whisky in its political system. ———»>+2e—___ Mr. Croker will have to draw heavily on his experierce in politics and on the turf to succeed in entering the favorite in the New York mayoralty race. —_—_+ + —___ The sultan in his desire to dictate to the governing powers of Europe should not grow haughty and mistake himself for a bond syndicate. ———_+-_____.

Coincidents of Accidents, From the Philadelphia Press. In maritime ¢ircles here there is a con- viction that steamship accidents almost always come in groups, just as railway men believe that great railway accidents are lable to occur coincidently. ‘The experience of the Christian Endeavor- ers is an illustration of that theory. The collapse of the shafts of the Spree and of the Cephalonia within a few hours, while each vessel was making the eastward pas- sage, and the dangerous fire upon the City of Rome, while all three steamers were upon the ocean, would tend to convince those in the maritime exchanges that their theory is well founded. — By Divine and Statute Right. From the Lewiston (Me.) Journal. That the restoration of protection, now assured, will reproduce the conditions of prosperity which existed in 1892, so far as these conditions are the creation of law, is certain. Now, with good crops assured, this country stands ready for prosperity by divine right as well as by right of statute. —_—_~ + -___. Wellington Throws Up the Sponge. From the Baltimore Herald.
