TWELVE PAGES A CONFESSION OF FOEET. tBy the story published in another olumn, as received from the man who claims to have been the originator of the Chicaco dynamite outrages, one of the most remarkable individualities of the day stands revealed. By this confession we have a man self-indicted of criminal folly and supreme cowardice. That explosive language should he used as a mere adver tisins medium is hardly remarkable in this era of sensationalism. But that a man should imacine himself capable alike of playing on the passions of his fellows until then chilling them to the temperature of moderation at his will, is symptomatic of the most dangerous foolhardiness. Such action could only result froma self-conceit verging upon madness. Xo such plea can be advanced, however, for the man who allows others to pay the penalty of an outrageous crime for which he considers himself solely responsible. It appears that the men executed were the mere tools of a cold-blooded schemer whose mental capacity enabled him to mould them to his ideas until the weapons which he created passed beyond his con trol, and, as it were, primed themselves with shot where he had only meant to make a display with blank cartridges. Granted the truth of the story, it is in dubitable that its narrator is morally en tirely responsible for the loss of life of the victims of the explosion and the law. But this moral responsibility has its limits, and the maintenance of public safety de mands that those who allow themselves to be so far led astray by the designs of men who arc their superiors in cunning shall themselves pay the penalty of their crimes. Whether the claimant to the au thorship of the plot can himself be made to suffer under the law yet remains to be seen. Public eSort should rather be di rected to his punishment than to the re lease of men who acted illegally, whether of their own inclination cr by the incen tive of another. THE EXPEOSIONS CONTINUE. The fact that another locomotive boiler on the Reading Railroad blew up the other day calls renewed attention to the necessity of improving the safeguards against boiler explosions. That lesson additionally enforced by the fact that this is the fifth boiler explosion on that road within a year, to say nothing of numerous other explosions in various parts of the country, impresses the mind that there is yet a good deal to be done in the way of securing complete safeguards against the loss of life and property from this cause. This reflection gives force to what has heretofore been pointed out in these col umns, that while the old theories of boiler explosions were completely overset by the 3Iunhall farm experiments nearly a score of years aco, thenew theory these demon strated has not been sufficiently adopted in actual and constructive practice. Boil ers are still built with a view to guarding against the disproved cause of explosions, and but few are in use which safely guard the actual danger. That private users of steam power should be slow to reconstruct or replace their boilers may be understood; but that great railroad corporations which claim to be in the front rank of improve ments should continue to hazard the dan ger, which might be prevented by a clear understanding of theory, does not comport with the claim that the improvement of industrial service is in direct ratio to the concentration of capital. CUTS IN THE WRONG PEACE. The policy of cutting down the im mensely inflated appropriation bills of the last Congress has been Indorsed by The Dispatch as for the interest of the entire country. But the intelligent pur suit of that policy will not cut the appro priations necessary to the proper discharge of the Government functions and let the big Treasury raids go unscathed. It is, of course, too soon to make an esti mate of the actual work of this Congress. But up Jo the present the Democratic leaders seem to be busy in affording some foundation to" the charge of the Republi can orgaus that they are cheese paring on necessary Government ex penses, while the appropriations sup posed to yield a political usufruct to Conuressmen are handled with de cided tenderness. It is certain that there have been no decisive intimations that public building jobs will be squelched; wlnle, if the report of yesterday be true, that the diplomatic and consular appro priation bill has been cut down 50 per cent, an example of the other sort secures a prima facie representation. It is doubtless true that some of the diplomatic positions are high salaried and useless situations for retired politicians. But a well organized consular service, devoted to the extension of our foreign commerce, can be made of more use to the country than almost any single branch of the government It is well-known that Secretary Blaine has based his policy on such use of the consular and diplomatic service. Ilis policy has riser, far above partisanship, and the House should bo able to do the same by furnishing the means for carrying it out. Even if it can not rise to that height it will put itself in an exceedingly uncomfortable position if it undertakes to cut down this appropria tion for 1892 to less than was given the Clpveland administration for the same purpose in 1888. The Ilouse will do well if it makes sharp cuts in the big political appropriations; but it will only stultify itself, if it verifies this report by crippling the consular service justat the inception of the extension of our foreign commerce. WIFE MURDER IN VOGUE. The epidemic of killings which has pre vailed with hardly a check in Allegheny county for some time has reached its cli max in furnishing two wife murders within 24 liours. In one the man who killed his wife for the exquisite reason of his own infidelity fitly completed the hor rible task by blowing out his own brains. The other lives to intimate by his own words that the best excuse he can make was that he had transformed himself into a fiend by drink. When crime reaches the climax of sense less slaughter it is hard to construct any theory of law concerning it The law hardly has it in its power to either inflict any penalty or hold up an' example more powerful as a punishment or a warning than the crime itself. But with regard to the more commonplace example of drunken murders, it isnotpossible to avoid the reflection that the laxity of justice has no slight connection with their frequency. A good many years ago a criminal after killing expressed his confidence in the future by the assertion that "handing is played out in Allegheny county." He discovered his mistake on the gallows; and some more demonstrations that hanging is not played out produced a reaction in the tendency toward murders. But at present the old idea seems to be in vogue among the reckless and lawless. In view of the number of wanton murderers who have of late years got off with second degree con victions, it is rather difficult to assert that this theory of the criminals is wholly with out foundation. If the belief of the violent andjawless, that they can give free vent to their pas sions and get off with a term of imprison ment, has increased manslaughter, is it not also reasonable to suppose that the exam ple and fashion of murder has its share in producing such tragedies as that reported yesterday? Whatever the theory, it is clear that the prevalence of violent crimes among our people is anything but reassur ing as to the standard of intelligence and morality m the grades of life where such twines occur. HONESTY IN A NEW FLACE. Either the New Tork Legislature has lost its grip or the public must reconstruct its theories with regard to the nature of politicians. The preconceived ideas of what might be expected from such a body are knocked into confusion, and the proverb that it is the unexpected that happens receives a remarkable verifica tion from the fact that Mr. Canter, one of the leaders of Senator Hill's clan, has In troduced a Congressional apportionment bill which even Republican organs con cede to be moderately fair. With the general manifestations of reek less partisanship that have been given by Democratic control in New -York State, something unique In the line of gerryman dering was to be looked for. As an in citement and excuse to such a chef d'eeuvre in the lino of shoe string and snake-fence districts, it should be remembered that Legislatures of much higher pretensions to respectabil ity havo done and are doing some very pretty work in that line. The Ohio Legis lature, for example, has before it a bill which goes so far in the way of carving out Republican districts that even Gov ernor ilcKinley Is reported to have pro tested against it. Possibly it was in de spair at the idea of so far surpassing other gerrymanders as to come up to Its reputa tion in otbfer respects that the New York Legislature has conceived the original and stunning notion of striking out on the line of decent fairness. That, however, seems to be the result when we are informed that, on the vote of 1890, the new appor tionment will give the Republicans eleven Congressmen the same number they res cued from the landslide of that year. It would be pleasant to recognize in this scheme of apportionment an evidence that the principle of a fair and honest representation is gaining ground among the politicians of the State of New York. But the previous acts of the New Tork Democrats leave little foundation for such faith. But, then, what are we to conclude? Has David B. Hill lost his grip on the New York Legis lature, and is that putative boom of Ros well P. Flower, of which so much is heard and so little shown up, preparing to adver tise itself by this stunning stroke of or dinary 'fairness? Is it the fact that we have all been deceived, and that the New York Legislature is demonstrating itself to be the center and seat of political purity and honesty by eschewing the gerry mander to which Republican and Dem ocratic legislatures elsewhere are equally prone? Or are the New Yorkers so con fident of their ability to cany elections by the means of ward heelers and canvassing boards that they can afford to scorn the stereotyped plan of grabbing Congress ional districts by the hard-worked gerry mander? Perhaps we had best not be premature in seeking explanations for this unex pected outbreak of honesty or accepting it as a fact This surprisingly fair appor tionment bill has only been Introduced. There is a vital difference between that and its passage. A CHANGE SOMEWHERE. Our esteemed cotemporary, the Phila delphia Record, protested against an in timation of The Dispatch some time ago that it had changed front on the corporate question. It has been subsequently re marked in these columns that in quoting the acts of the New Jersey Legislature as a vindication of a corporate combination the Record had certainly put Itself in strange companionship. It gives another Indication of the same sort by quoting the elegant and humorous Chauncey M. Depew for a conclusive and authoritative indorsement of the anthracite combina tion. In past days,when the Record was vigor ously battling for the correction of cor porate abuses, It has certainly been su perior to accepting the dictum of the President of the New York Cen tral and' the oratorical representa tive of the vanderbilts as con clusive authority for the public. That source of authority has poured forth information at various intervals for the purpose of showing that any correction of such evils was not only unnecessary, but disturbing. It is well to remember that Mr. Depew's indorsement of the an- thracite combination Is not more complete than his indorsement of the Soutli Penn deal. Though Depew's epigram that the South Penn was not a competing line he cause it was "only a lot of holes in the ground" was overruled by the courts of Pennsylvania, he has been cognizant of and consenting to subsequent arrange ments by which that project has been permanently reduced to "holes in the ground," in violation alike of the Consti tution and the mandates of the courts. When the Philadelphia Record, Mr. De pew and the New Jersey Legislature find themselves on the same platform as re gards corporate combinations, either the first or the last two have changed front We search in vain for any evidences of change on the part of Depew and the Legislature that furnishes Trust charters to order. A NEW SORT OF TRUST. A novelty in mysterious connection be tween legislative jobs and corporate manipulation is disclosed by a struggle over the control of the Brooklyn elevated railroad. The fight for its management is expected to be close, and the desire to win the victory has brought out the fact that one person is able to vote a lump of 23,790 shares, with a value of over $2,000,000, as trustee for persons to the public un known. This important factor in the situation is brought out by a suit for the cancellation of this stock belonging to unknown own ers on the ground that its issue is fraudu lent The intimation is very plain that this stock was the consideration for cer tain valuable franchises the corporation obtained six years ago, and is held in this shape to cover the ownership of it by the men who sold their official action for that consideration. It would certainly be Interesting in a public point of view to procure a-disclos-ureof this secret ownership. If the alle gations were true, it would lend a new significance of dishonesty -to the 'word "trust" The perversion of that word from its original meaning of honor and fidelity for beneficial purposes has already indicated one stage of commercial de moralization; and were it discovered that trusts could be created for the further ance of political corruption, the process of social deterioration would be fully exem- plified in the debasement of a once honor able term. In the meantime the allegation will awaken a general interest as to whether other corporations, that have been the re cipients of especial municipal favors, com prise among their shareholders any whose names are kept a profound secret Most people have heard of Barnes of New Tork and Potter of Texas. A Barnes of Texas has now come to the fore with a telegraphic offer to capture Garza and get a "scoop" for the Sun, The New Tork paper did not take the bait ana Garza remains at large. Meanwhile Mr. Barnes should be re quested to explain why he failed to secure the arrest merely as a good citizen of his country. Before advocating the control of rail roads and coal mines by the Government, Mr. Fowdorly would do well to confine his efforts to demanding efficiency as tho sole qualification for ofnce-nolding in existing departments. As an exhibition of obstinacy a further raising of questions as to the oonstitution lty of the reciprocity clause of the McKinley bill would be unrivaled In the face of the Supreme Court's decision. It Is Impossible to see how a clause can Itself be unconstitu tional when tho Supremo Court has decided that its presence does not affoct the consti tutionality of the whole bill. XiET the charges against the Boston courts bo thoroughly investigated, for few actions can he more detrimental to the public weal than the granting of naturalization papers simply for the fees they bring. While our country remains remarkable for the badness of its roads there is no reason for surprise that the inolcmency of the weather should seriously affect trade. This Is the age and countrvof precocity. Wo have first a youth of fifteen who nearly sets two countries by the ears with a compo sition designed to show International leel ing. Now an offlco boy accused of forgery conducts his own case, and would probably havo won it but for the well meant blunder ing honesty of his father. And they both hall from the East! If people continue to believe the asser tion that the Beading deal was consummated In tho interest of the consumer, . their credulity will not be dno to the unmistak able actions of the dealers. Some people speak of Hill's Southern trip as swinging around the circle. This is no doubt due to the eccentricity displayed during the course of his gyrations. MANY hard things have been said of po litical parties from time to time, but few harder blows .havo been struck than ex Speaker Beed's remarks that Hill represents the Democratic party. "He is like It He understands it, and In a short time, if he is elected, he will be it," This is too severe even lor tho Democrats. .A.FTER all, the dumber of remonstrances filed against applicants for liquor licenoes will moro. nearly approach tho number of objections raised against, the -weather than was expected. Charges should he pushed against men supposed to havo sold their votes, and the alleged purchasers of the same should in no wiso he forgotten or overlooked. A public debate oa the silver question, championed by leaders on both sides, cannot full to bo of great interest and should do much to show the weakness of the Bland supporters, and enable the pnblio to see un mistakably that their interests are seriously threatened by the measure on behalf of the mine owners. According to latest accounts the Yoko- hama tragedy owes its origin to Mrs. Hcth erington's wearing of brass buttons and gold braid. Many a poor girl has been cap tivated by the cliarm of a uniform rather than the qualities of its wearor, ana now the average is being evened up in the othor direction. One of the bright aspects in the gloom of overproduction, so widespread over various industries to-iay, is the probability that it will lead to a redaction in the hours of labor. Secectary Foster's recent experiences should bo a warning to srentlemen making remarks on a rnouth sboald be careful lest they put their foot in it.- Cleveland states that his wife never interferes in his political affairs. No doubt that is quite true, but his fortunate posses sion of a wife and baby very seriously handicaps his migratory bachelor opponent, for this is a land of much sentiment. One of the main uses of the Congressional Record appears to bo the opportunities it affords Representatives for personal re prisals and irate demands for withdrawal.""

The American Work Harder Than Any Other Man on Earth. Ban Francisco Chronicle. Dr. Cyrus Edson In the current number of one or the American magazines has an ex cellent and very suggestive article on the Question, Do we live too fast? He says: "The American works harder than does any other man or woman on earth. His business is always with him. He has no rest, no ces sation, no relief from the strain. His dally routine is one of intense and ever-present excitement. What is the outcomet To sup ply his rapidly exhansted system he is com pelled to consume large quantities of rich food and to stimulate himself with alcoholic beverages. One of three results almost in evitably follows: First, he becomes an Ine briate and is destroyed by the alcoholic poison ho consumes; second, escaping the pitfall of acquired drunkenness he rapidly impairs his digestive organs by his abuse of food, and in consequence of that his stom ach and intestines no longer properly per form their functions; third, the over-indulgence of his appetite crowds upon the ex cretory apparatus an amount of work that sooner or later embarrases andadisorders It, fat is accumulated, and the muscular sys tem undergoes what is. termed fattv defen eration." Unfortunately this diagnosis Is entirely too accurate. Wo havo but to look about us to find abundant Instances of each of the classes of which the writer speaks. Men of genius and enormous brain power who drive the mental machine at top speed all the time put oil into the furnaces in the shape of some form of alcohol, or, failing that, in the form'of rich ana highly seasoned viands, nntil before long the boiler either explodes or burns out and collapses, and then conies death or the insane asylum. But U there any remedy, and if so, what is it and where is it to be fonndT Tho spirit of the age de mands speed In everything. Bitter com plaint Is made if an ocean steamer Is an hour behind her schedule time: railroad trains are being continually pushed to a higher rate of speed; improvements are being made orthought out to hasten telegraphic mes sanos, and shorthand and typewriter aro superseding the old-fashioned pothooks and hangers of our boyhood. With all this at tempt to gain greater rapidity In things material, what wonder is It that the mind feels the impetus and makes an extra effort to keep up with the rush and hurry which we call progress? Wo can see no help for the present condi tion of things until the pendulum of time shall swing across to the other extremity of the arc and the human family shall revert to ideas and habits more nearly pristine than those which obtain to-day. We laugh at the golden age, and declare that It Is as. much a myth or a fable as the Olympian Paradise or tho Enchanted Isles, but there was a time when there were, or seemed to be, more minntes in the hour, more hours in the day and more days in tno week than in this nineteenth century: when there was time for thought and calm reflection ai well as for action; when mere monev grabbing was not the aim and object of tho world, and when to be richer than anybody else was not the ultima thule of human ambition. That was the golden age of the world, if ever there was one, and it were well for us all if the wheei ot time in its revolutions would bring us around again to that age, so that wo might rest without feeling that doing nothing was an absolute waste of time. LYMPH FOE LOCKJAW. A. Mystic Fluid to Be Tried on a Patient From Delaware. Philadelphia, Maroh 18. A medical dis covery which, if it embodies the specific virtue that its author claims for it, is oue of the greatest boons that mankind has ever received at the hands of science, will be utilized to-morrow afternoon in New York for the first time in this country. Harrison Capel, a wealthy farmer of Kent county, Md will be inoculated for lockjaw with a lymph which is said to exert the same in fluence upon this heretofore mortal disease that Koch's lymph does not exert upon con sumption. Mr. Capel, who is now in that unconscious and extremely precarious con dition which lockjaw Invariably brings upon its victim, passed through Philadel phia yesterday in a sleeping car. He was accompanied by his physician. Dr. Horace C Marks, of Middletown,Del.,who suggested to the family of the sufferer the final resort of the lymph treatment, and who will re main with his patient until the result of the experiment, which will bo conducted by An tonio Cerrettl, M. D., of Vienna. The doctor has what he calls "av homeopa thic germ theory;" In other words, he be lieved that, If he could by some method ob tain and utilize the germs of lockjaw, then, by applying these germs to a case of lock jaw, the disease would, according to the. principle of "like cures like," undoubtedly vanish. He added that he hud already con ducted many experiments with this end In view, bnt that thus far bis efforts have not been crowned with much success. Cerretti's lymph is obtained from rabbits. The singular thing about this lymph is that, while it required only six months Tor him to discover it if I may use the word in that sense it required five to pu.rlfy it: For in stance, after its discovery (the particnlars of which I do not feel at liberty to state) he oould easily enough Inoculate a rabbit and produoe lockjaw. But it took years and years of arduous toil to purify this lymph so that its application would cure a rabbit that Already had lockjaw. UNDER MBKTAX TEEATMENI. A Sick Child Dies, Receiving No Other Medicine Than Realizing Truth. CmcisifATi, March 18. The Coroner to-day held an inquest on the body of 'a child 1 years old which died without medical at tendance. The testimony showed that the child's parents are believers in Christian science treatment, and that the fathor of the child called npon Mrs. Burdge, a Christian science healer. Her testimony was taken. She stated that when the father called he told her the child had a cold and a fever. She gave it an absent treatment. When asked to explain that process she said it was difficult to explain without a long course of study, but, in effect, it was understanding man's true relation to God and the science of being. It might be called prayer, but was not the ordinary prayer, but was realizing the' truth. When the child grew worse sho called to see it. She gave it another mental treat ment, but administered no medicine. She said she never even touched ber patients. Sho said she received pay for her services, but had no medical diploma. She had studied for years under teachers from the Metaphysical College of Christian Science, of Boston. The child died the next day after she called, not having received any medicine other than the treatment described by Mrs. Burdge. Coroner Banae says the testimony in the case oaght to warrant legis lation to prohibit this kind of medical prac tice. Maritime Province May Unite. St. Johx, N. B., March 18. A resolution has passed the New Brunswick Legislature, favoring the Union ojf the provinces of New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island.

A Lot That Advanced nt a Bato of Three Hundred Dollars an Tlour. Denvet sun..' The other day a Denver man stepped from the train, saw a lot ho thought he wonld like, and asked the owner; who, of course, just "happened" to be standing near, what. he wonld take. "Ono thousand dollars," was the reply. "Well, I'll see you again shortly. I want to look abont and get my bearings." Atter inquiring tho prices of various other lots, he concluded to take the first one. Ho had been gone but an hour, and felt a satis faction at being able to do a littlo business so soon after his arrival, and remarked to a companion: "This Is a hummer, and no mistake." To the owner he said: "I've con cluded to take yonr lot. Have the papers made out and we'll go up to the bank and get the money." "The price has gono up since yon were here. It is now $1,300," quietly remarked tho owner. Three hundred dollars an hour!" he gasped, and was carried to the train. The pace was too killing. Such activity in realty and building has rarely been seen, even In Colorado. The buildings in Jimtown have arisen like mushrooms over night.

During a heavy rain lightning struck tho parsonage of tho Methodist Episcopal Church, a nlco fonr roomed cottage, completely demolishing tho building, with the exception of the cast room, in which were sitting the pastor, the Rev. Jerome Haralson and his wire. That they wore not instantly killed everybody pronounces a miracle, for everything in their room all around them was broken in small pieces. A more complete wreck was never seen. There Is not a whole nail or piece of timber in the building, except in the little room they occupied. Not only the building was wrecked but the fence around it also torn down. The shock broke a considerable amount of crockery for those living in the tho neighborhood of the parsonage.
