Much d work has already been done by churchmen toward the securing of the necessary land and funds for the project. The rece change of site necessarily set back the project somewhat but, it is be- Heved, will result to its ultimate advan- tage. place now settled upon and ac- quired is eminently suitable for the pur- pose and when the architectural work has been performed the city will have been |: beautified as by few other sing! structures ever located here.

Tae disease is. moreover, following the troops into Crete. “When tinned beef is fresh it ts all right: | but big tins rapidly spoil before the con- tents are consumed. The mortality during the whole campaign is probably less than the subsequent deaths from enteric fever.” Men are very much alike the world 2round, especially soldiers. When they have passed through a successful campaign they will insist upon celebrating, relaxing, seeking other lines of personal entertain- ment than those permitted by the close dis- cipline of camp and field. The experience of the English military authorities in Egypt is very much like that of some of the Amer- ican commanders. There is sickness, an in- evitable consequence of campaigning in a tropical country; tnere is suffering, the cer- tain result of fighting and hardship: there is starvation, due to occasional mishaps to the commissariat; there is over-indulgence by the men when they return to base. All these things will happen in the best regu- lated armies. If they are happening today to any considerable extent in a force so well organized and disciplined and provi: ioned as was the Kitchener expedition— which was noted as a model in its way and for its size—how much more inevitably will they happen in a great army suddenly torm- ed out of a handful of regulars and a vast volume of untrained officers and men! The bulk of the blame for the suffering endured by the American forces in camp and in the field is unquestionably to be laid upon the insufficient state of our preparedness for war and upon the demands of the situation for hasty work in forming and using an army. ——_~+ = —___ For an Incorruptible Judiciary. The meeting in New York city last night to denource Richard Croker’s attempt to debauch the bench was in point of num- bers and the tone of the deliverances all that had been foreshadewed by a rapidly rising tide of indignation. ‘The people came out in force and were addressed by some of the most eminent members of the American bar, and, with but one exception, all democrats. It was a splendid mani- festation of independence and character, and it seems to promise a triumph of the cause espoused. The ci pers of Mr. Croker in this matter— a word of dign would be misemployed in describing such performances—testify not only to the grade of the man, but also to the tremendous power he wields at heme. He probably thought little of the Daly incident at the time he was making up his local ticket. With him it was merely a matter of turning an unaccepta- ble man out and arranging to put an ac- ceptable man in. Daly the ingrate must go. Andrews the plitnt man, from who Tammany might feel assured of “service should take his place. How easy and mat- ter-of-fact to Mr. Croker! What more could there be to the transaction? Who cou!d object, and why? When they brought the news to the boss that the Bar Association objected he saw in a second the remedy for that. He would get up a Bar Association of his own. He would run the other fellows cut of busi- ne He ealled to his side a lawyer after his own heart and put the commission into his hands. “Go out,” he said in substance to his fell ‘and get me up a Bar Asso- c.ation—one that I can rely upon. I don't want anybody who affects to be sensitive about the ccurts. Leave such cattle to the other side. I want lawyers who know their place and will take my orders without question.” And Mr. Croker’s crony act- ually accepted that commisison, and gave himself only forty-eight hours in which to execute it. Of course he failed. It ought to be said in perfect frankness that the men who last night showed so clear an appreciation of their duty with respect to the bench, and so correct an ap- ment of the sort of man that Richard are by no means logical in their declared determination to support the state ticket which he has nominated. Mr. C ers attempt to debauch the judic grows out of his power politician. is supreme in the affairs of the city. Men fetch and carry at his dictation. He is reaching out. The city no longer contents him. He wants control of the state, and if Judge Van Wyck is elected governor Mr. Croker will be easily able to boss the larger field. He will then wield an influence on public affairs second only in extent to that wielded by the President of the United States, and no long time will clapse before he will be stocking courts as easily as he does his racing stables, with creatures to be ridden at his pleasure and for his profit. The oniy effective way to deal with Mr. Croker is to put him down all alomg the line, and to do it thorougily. a Porto Rico and Hawaii will be so busy with material development for the next few y that they may not feel their lack of experience with the expert methods of American politics. —_ David B. Hill manages to make an occa- sional ringing speech, notwithstanding the fact that his connection with rings has been very much weakened of late years. — Whatever the result of the campaign may be, it is probable that Richard Croker will be so fatigued as to need another vacation trip to Europe. The predictions of warmth in the army in- vestigation are as delinquent as if they had regularly emanated from the weather bu- reau. <a o Mr. Van Wyck says he is sure of election, but has not yet sent in his appl membership in any “don’t worry 202 - It must be confessed that it 1s very diffi- cult for a New York politician to predict who his friends are going to be. +o As usual, spectus of Washington's base ball club is more interesting than its report. 202 An Inter-State Murder A vigorous fight is in progress In San Francisco to prevent the extradition on requisition by the Delaware authorities of Mrs. Cornelia Botkin, charged with send- ing poisoned candy to women in the east- ern stat he def e claims that as Mrs. m were such as to encourag: the | Botkin has never been in Delaware she st him on general principles | could not be charged there with murder. as he observed that he rode a bi On the principle urged in behalf of extra- dition, it is further asserted, Judze Van —_— so ____—_ Wyck, candidate for governor of New York, atplomats may be malicisus- could b2 taken from his own state on a & - ping that they can keep th2 American | nimsy charge and kept from election. oe paying stamp t for a longe Then. too, Mrs. Botkin, if sent east, could Hod by delaying a final settlement of peaze | not secure her witnesses with the readluess terms. see Instructive News From Exypt. They are having their own troubles ov In England about the condition of the soi- ters returning from the field. The United States is not alone in this regard. This fa may perhaps open the eyes of some criti of the American military system as the lat« war has revealed {ts failures. England, the well-equipped, well-disciplined, weli-orga: ized England, now has sick and dying s Giers on her hands. The following dispatch to the London Chronicle from Alexandria, Egypt, printed in a recent issue, may perhaps open a new perspective to these who see murder in every death in camp and crime in every case of sickness among the soldiers: “The men who have returned from the Nile continue to die like flies from enteric fever, contracted bly through the use of tinned beef, certainly aggravated by immoderate indulgence in cheap, nasty which an acctsed person should enjoy. ‘These pleas are met by the counter asser- tion of the prosecution that Mrs. Botkin is constructively a fugitive from Delaware, even though never corporeally present in that state. The whole affair hinges upon the question of where the murder was committed. The law is plain that a per- son can be taken from his or her own state to be tried in another state where a mur- der of which he may be charged was com- mitted. Extraditions from state to sta’ are 80 common today that they attract n attention whatever. At this moment the principle 1s being tnvoked to secure the re- lease from ‘England of a woman wanted for murder committed in Connecticut. It only remains to ascertain where the murder was committed. The Botkin case presents a cu- rious complication, incidental to the method of the criminal. The poison was sent by mail across the continent. Was the murder committed at the point of mail- ing or at the point of taking effect? It is @ natural assumption that a person cannot be murdered in his absence. The crime could not well have taken place in Califor- nia if the victims were not there present. The mails in this instance merely served to save the criminal the expen: discomfort and particularly the danger of a trans- ecntinental journe Constructively. the poisoner’s hand was thus extended by means of the mailing system across the continent. The exact place of the erimi- ral's nhysical presence is a matter of in- difference to the law. Nor is the court con- cerned in the facility with which witnesses are to be secured. The prosecution wouid be put to similar disadvantage if the trial were in California. In this particular case the plea of lack of jurisdiction seems to be untenable. Were such a plea permitted to obtain the process of “murder by ma‘l,”” as this and similar crimes have come to be called. would be greatly facilitated. ——_— ++ + —_—.

From the Atlanta Constitution. The yellow fe er scourges periodically im- vorted into our southern seaport towns from Havana harbor have been productive of greater demoralization to our business in- terests than of results otherwise. Our peo- ple are easily excited, and the very mon- tion of the word epidemic is sufficient to throw them into consternation when there is absolutely no cause for uneasiness. In view of the fact that yellow fever germs imported from Havana harbor play such havoc with the fears of our people, in ad- dition to prostrating large numbers of them upon beds of serious Miness, it is of the greates! importance that exposure to such courges should be removed by thoroughly cleansing Havana harbor at the earliest possible moment. ——— Rates Should Be Reduced. From the Philadelphia Press. There is another agitation going on in the west for a reduction of rates on sleep- ing cars. It is a good thing to help along. The Pullman Company last week added fifty p cent more to its already enor- mou; watered stock. That will enable it to keep up its exce on the f.ce of thi per cent dividend. sive charges and still, declare only an eight ping cars are not a luxury, but a necessity. Rates should come down. Congress will have to act on the matter as affecting interstate commerce to make any such law effective. The subject has been before Cortgress several tim znd there would be no need to waste muc time on it. Sle Toe The National Quarantine Debate. From the Chicago Tribune. The southern press been carrying on its annual controversy for weeks past over the question of a “national quaran- tine.” The subject comes almost invariably once a year, is debated with considerable bitterness between the extremists who think that the sacrifice of a few hundred lives would be nothing to some technical violation of their dead doctrine of “state rights” and those who take a practical view of things. Then, on the appearance: of the first sharp frost, the issue drops out of view with the yellow fever vest, to lic dormant with the yellow fever germs until the next year. As we are lHkely to have a frost shortly the debate will be adjourned until the next visitation cf an epidemic. In the meantime it is probable that nothing will be done for the reason that those most deeply ‘nterested cannot agree among themselves as to the details of what they reed. has Queen Lil and That Pension.

We realize the hard knocks school shoes get—provide for it with shoes that were made for , the severest service. Parents who put our school shoes on their children will find the yearly shoe bills growing smaller—not so many shoes to buy as used to be the case. We beg to chronicle the ar- rival of a new lot of ladies’ foot- wear for winter wear. Women who want style and comfort will thoroughly like them. ee eeeeESEe The price is $2.08 a pair— very little for such footwear ele- gance. The offering of the ladies’ $3.50 “Sorosis” shoes at $2.98 is clearing them out at a rapid rate—and our motive in making this reduction is being accom- plished—to make way for a line of better shoes to sell at $3.50.
