The pretended discovery of the assas sin of Watson B. Smith in the person of John Pierson was exploded s months ago by the last United 8 grand jury. After a thorough inquiry into the confession of Pierson, said to have been made in confidence to a fellow convict in the penitentiary, tho grand jury failed to find any ground for an in dictment, either Pierson, Jack Nugent or Groomes, each of whom 110 bo implicated. No new evider that would justify the belief that Picrson aithior murdered Watson B, Smith or had been A party to the murder has yot come n po. sion of the officers of the law. It is not eyen elaimed that they have as surance of receiving such additional evi What warrant is there, then, for the arrest of Pierson on this charge the moment he had served out his sentence for grand larceny? What right had the comn oner before whom Pl was ned to commit him without bail to prison to await the action of the noext grand jury? Pierson, it is true, has been a convict, and he may be avery bad man 3ut for all that he is entitled to his 1ib Tty the s reasonuble ground for belief that ho has committed the erime with which he is charged, ‘Lhe mero fact that Pierson is an outeast without friends and without money skould not deprive him of the vights which other men enjoy in a free country. The preliminary trial before Commissionor Billingsloy wasif anything amore outrageons travesty on justice than was perpetrated in the arvest and imprisonment of August Arndt for the e crime. When Arndt was elapped into prison for the uurder of Watson B. Smith, three years ngo, he was denied the privilege of sceing his own family and kopt in confinement long enough to enanble the detectives to vifle his trunk and to carry off cortain papers which wero needed by Arndt to make absolute proof of his famous case against the Union Pacifie, whose decision involved the en- tire land grant of that rond. There is no more proof against Pierson than there was against Arndt. The only object, as we have ever been able to learn, for branding Arndt as o murderer and de: priving him of his libeity for wecks, was his bull-headed effort to compel the Union Pacific road to surrender a quar ter section of land in Saunders county upon which ho had settled. Arndt was indisereet cnough to rebel against his tyrannical treatment, and he was punished by a United States court by a short term of imprisonwent on the pretext that he uttgred threats against the judge. What the aim and object of Pierson’s inc tion may be, we cannot divine, unless it is for the purpose of enabling Warden Nobes' to get some notoriety as a great deteetiv And this brings us direetly to the conduct of Nobes in this case, According to Pierson, the pre tended confession was concocted by one Sutton, a conviet who was anxious to work upon Nobes' vanity as a detective, d get an carly releasoas a roward. Pierson further ch; s that Nobes immured him in the dark cell and tortured him several times to extort from him the confession which Sutton had vepor The question is, what right Warden Nobes to play the in- quisitor? What right has he to torture conviets with a view to extorting confe sions from them? Supposing son had actually admitted every erime in tho calendar under the thumbs v pressure, what value would his confes- sion have in a trial for murder? Would not the courts have to rule out all such evidence? This is, however, in full keeping with Mr. Nobes' record. When he was imported from Joliet, ton ago, he introduced into the p entiury o system of most rovolting torturo. Ho hung men in stocks, suspended men by their thumbs, immured them in dark cells and chained them to the bull rings. At the instance of the Ber a committeo was appointed by the legislature to investigate these crucltios, and that committee unani mously requested the governor to have these practices abolished and the warden and his deputy diswmissed. ‘Che recom mendations of the legislature with re- gard to torture were carricd out, The warden, Mr. Woodhurst, was dismissed, but Nobes, who had been the chief cause of the cruelties, was retained and in due time oven promoted. ks conduct towards Piorson would indicate that he has resumed his favorite pastime, tortur- ing prisonvrs. Why the United States authoritios shounld lend themselves to such business for the sake of making Nobes famous passes our comprehension.

There already work cnough laid out for this year to amoun to wore than halfa million, The question | is whether the coumell is to repre: © improvements on a very | sent the interests of the tax-payers or whether 1t is to be owned by corporations, contractors and speculators. All the eguards which the charter has placed against jobbery and corruption amount to nothing when severely put to the test The laws make it_a criminal offense for any city official to be directly or indi rectly interested in contracts, or any im provements which the council controls. But it is aotorious that contractors and councilmen have a way of whipping the devil around the stump. Where a dishonest councilmen desires a share in the profits of a contract, he always manages to find some way to gratify his groed. What the eity needs is resvonsible and reputable business men at the helm of public affairs. The trouble is that busi- ness men as a class take no interest in the city affaivs, They are always indig nant when anything goes wrong, but they are the last to make any sacrifice of their own comfort or eonvenienee for the pulb lic good. The method by which candi dates are put forward requires active participation in the clection: T'o obtain reputable citizens must take rule, this class stay away from the pri- maries and ve them in the hands of the hoodlums and bummers. Then when election day comes they announce them- selves as hghly disgusted becanse bhoth tickets are made up of men in whom they have no confidence. In a people’s government the blame for bad government is with the people. The stream nover rises above its sourco. While o large majority of the clectors are honest and intelligent, they leave the machinery of elections in the hands of the corrupt, vicious and fgnorant. For the result they haye only themsclves to blame. Other Lands Than Ours The government has notified parli ment that it has set April the day on which Mr. Gladstone will bring his Irish programme before the commons. On that date the split in the liberal nks may be expected to disclose atself. The introduction of the measure will doubt- less compel Mr. Chamberlain to show his hand. His adical — colleagues whose threats of resignation from the eabinet and of opposition in the house will also be forced to declare themselves. That there will be important defections from Mr. Gladstone's party is certain. Upon the strength or weakness of the revolt will depend the failure or success of the st radical effort to deal with the condi- tion of Ireland. Mr. Chamberlain isa shrewd and an able politician. The 1ib- party are indebted Inrgely for their in 1880 to his practical talent for organization. His work among the rural constituencies in 1885 saved Mr. Glad- stone from defeat last November. He has a considerable following in the pres ent parliament and a Jarge constituency among the newly enfranchised votes out- side. Whether Mr. Gladstone can Ty his Irish programme with Mr. Chamber- lain leading a radical revolt against it is the all absorbing question. Parnell be- lieves ho can, The Irish leader boldly asserts upon an appeal to the county, Irish votes will return Mr. Gladstone to power with n majority of 170 over tories and followers of Mr. Chamberlain com- bined. Other friends of the premier in- sist that Chamberlain’s defection will be harmless and will ruin its leader in the future. But the ontcome is in doubt. It must remain so until the strength of the liberal defection is developed. % German semi-ofhcinl organs seem de- termined to impress upon their readers the certainty of an impending conflict between France and the Fatherland. vor since thg death of Gambetta has the prospeet of a war between the two nations been 8o earnestly discussed, It is diflicult, however, to see the basis for the excitement.
