THE CORNISH TESTIMONY. The new hearing of the Molineux case brings with it the inevitable threshing over of the old evidence of clubmen’s immoralities and amours and the addition thereto of new tostimony of like import. Revelations such as those of the Cornish cross-examination yester- day make disagreeable reading. “Young men will be young men,” but our efforts to blink this fact and make the best of {t are made profitless by the Molineux caso with Its iteration of instances, It strips the vell from our attempts at prudery and gives objectionable publicity to matters the community prefers to leave uninquired into. The extortion from Cornish of his life's hidden details may have been necessary in the Interests of Jus- tice, but the story {s one better left untold. One commendable thing about the speedy progress of “the case under its new trial Judge is that less time than in the previous trial ie left for details of this sort. It ts a gain for public morals.

It appears from the Judge-Advocate General's report that the crimes. committed by soldiers of the American Army during the year ending June 30 last Included 477 eases of larceny, 17 assaults on women, 19 murders and 46 attempts to commit murder. drunkenness on duty numbered 0. The convictions for This is the record of a year's offenses against the law fm @ disciplined body of men about 70,000 in number. we compare it with the record of crimes and misde- meanors charged against the undisciplined army of 140,000 miners during their six months of idleness while the strike was in progress, and !f in making the com- parisoa we are entirely frank with ourselves about it ‘we must infer that the miners got through their ordeal rather more creditably than the operators had led us to suppose. It is an instructive comparison as between picked men habituated to obey authority and workmen whose obedience was voluntary and who were handi- capped by a raw element of newly added immigrants to whom life in America, the land of the free, means li- cense, SOME WHO FELT IT, Fifteen thousand trainmen, station agents, clerks and other railroad employees laid off in consequence of the suspension of transportation by the coal-carrying roads will be called hack to service this week.
