- An Admirable Record,
'Accompanying a seven-column sketch
by Colonel Henry Hall, of the' Indiana
ex-president,the Pittsburg Times prints
this suggestive editorial paragraph:
"Ex-President Harrison is no longer
merely the grandson of the' old general.
He is recognized as one of the ablest
men that ever sat in the presidential
rhulr. The tonsv-turvey condition of
public affairs and the ruindus state of
business under the present administra
tion contrasts sharply with the pros
perity that characterized the four years
of Harrison, and help materially to
make conspicuous the wise and careful
course that the predecessor of Mr.
Cleveland pursued. A comparison of
the four years of Harrison and the two
years of Cleveland Is about all that need
be said at any time in behalf of Gen.
Harrison. If the Republican conven
tion of next summer shall pick Benja
min Harrison as the nominee, the coun
try as well as the party will accept the
result with satisfaction, for the period
during which he directed the destinies
of the Nation was four of the brightest
years In its history."
It Is, of course, uncertain whether
General Harrison shall be thus favored
next year. If he were not bo cold, dis
tant and suspicious in his attitude to
ward the public it Is our guess that he
would tie renominated with something
like a rush. This attitude of his is per
haps the result of a high sense of honor
striving to preserve itself from politi
cal contamination; but in a vote-getting
sense it is unfortunate, and is the
one characteristic In his composition
which keeps many men from proffering
to him their enthusiastic support. With
this one personal defect overlooked,
General Harrison certainly stands be
fore the thinking men of the country in
as fair a light as does any other living
statesman.. What the Times saya of
him Is literally and completely true, and
the bitterest opponent of Harrison's re
nomination is forced to concede as
much. Whatever the future -may hold
for him, General Harrison's past at least
is secure. ' His administration will be
remembered In history as the cleanest
one In a stirring and eventful quarter
of a century.
The Tribune is pleased to note the re
cent evidences of increasing prosperity
supplied by the Sunday News. Under
the control of Colonel Fltzslmmons. the
News Is invariably interesting, aggres
sive and chivalrous. May its shadow
continue to expand.
' i !
Our Defenceless Coasts
Like -most military men,-.General
Bchofleld 'Is an enthusiastic champion
of coast defences. He realizes in the
first place that billions of dollars' worth
of property is today exposed to the Are
of a foreign fleet should war bring one
to our shores; and that the work of
fortifying this property is so slow and
laborious that it cannot safely be dc
ferred until the necessity itself arises.
Asked the other day how much it
would cost -to -put' the coasts of our
country in the proper shape he re
plied: "No more than Is squandered
every yeer on rivers and harbors,
Enough money Is Wasted every year on
these eongreMlenal grass and jobs to
maintain a complete system of de
fenses throughout the country." "
The general, in the' interview from
which we quoteit appeared In Bun
day's Cleveland World dismisses the
fears of those who, have dreaded the
appearance of a hostile fleet In the
great lakes by saying that the govern
ment at 'Washington- has already pro
vided a secret system of lake port de
fenses which he believes will be ade
quato to any probable emergency. 'But
he does believe In a larger and better
navy, although not a navy as large as
England's. Unlike England, we "need
never fearlnvaslon because the moment
a hostile force landed on our shores we
could surround It with a million men
and virtually annihilate the army.
There Is also a plea about England
needing her great navy to protect her
scattered possessions, but I doubt very
much If, in the event of trouble, sho
would try to hold them, a least by
force of arms; she might' have other
means of retaining possession. Were
the United States in the possession of
such a nary as I think she ought to
have, however, England would be very
loath to have trouble with us, for fear
of Injury to her merchant marine. Our
armored cruisers, 'commerce destroy
ers I call them, are capable of fearful
havoc and would, I believe, prove very
effective. " "
"Then there Is another benefit, and
one which can never be conferred until
we have an adequate coast defense and
navy, and that Is the Imparting of pow-'
er and dignity to our diplomatic rela
tions with other nations. We would
then be In a position to say lb any 'for
eign government, Thus ac. and no
farther,' and our command would be
respected. Again, In a case such as the
recent Venezuela dispute, we could Bay
with dignity that in accord with the
doctrines contained in the constitution
of the states such things should be so
and so, and there would be' a submis
sion to our wishes, without question In
stead of the weak, vacillating policy
which now compels us to submit to the
negotiations and Investigations of an
other power, instituted possibly in the
hope of securing some advantage."
It Is something unusual for a general
in the army to be so generous In recog
nition of naval needs; but in General
Schofteld's talk there is an abundance
of sound sense. Republican statesman
ship, in the near future, will have not
only to repair the revenues and pay off
the Democratic debts, but also to con
tinue the upbuilding of the navy and
begin the fortification of our coasts,
with the ultimate object in view of
making this country the foremost na
tion on the earth.
Whjtrieys', repugnance to presidential
honofBlpQuld Jprpbably be overcome If
there were a glwst of a chance forihim

ThjB Ferment of the' Times.
The appearance of Thomas Hardy's
newest novel In book form under the
title "Jude the Obscure" which, in
modified form, ran as a serial in Har
per's under the title "Hearts Insurgent"
adds another to the list of great men
who, apparently turned awry by fin de
slecle influences, have recently
espoused, in theory at least, the doc
trine of free love and of the superfluity
and unimportance of marriage. Mr.
Hardy is perhaps the greatest living
writer of sustained English fiction, if
we except Hall Calne; and it has more
than a passing significance that in the
period of his Intellectual maturity he
should employ his striking talents in an
attempt to bring the institution of mar
riage Into contempt. His story was
bad enough In its expurgated magazine
form; In the bold unreserve of its pres
ent shape It is little less than a literary
iniquity.
The adage used to have it that a lit
tle learning was a dangerous thing. The
peril of today appears rather to be In
an overplus of culture which has sent
men's minds to seed and left their
morals starved and stunted. With our
now women militantly seeking release
from "chains" whleh our grandmothers
wore without a suspicion of their "slav
ery" and our advanced men Joining in
a degenerate hullabaloo aglnst the bul
warks of established society it may
well be a question whether Ignorance
be not bliss and patient obscurity a
benediction and a Joy. Mr. Hardy's
men and women may play hide and seek
among the Ten Commandments as
much as they please In books; but
the experience . of several centuries
seems to be strongly aglnst the suppo
sition that this can be done in real life
without incurring the traditional penal-
ties. The wages of sin is still death
notwithstanding the desperately pre
tentious contradictory claims put in
evidence these end-of-the-century days
by the vague and various rfpropogand
ists of revolution.
After all, there Is one consoling reflee
tion. Fln-de-sieclism a hundred years
ago deluged Europe with human blood,
This century it has done as yet little
worse than to deluge America with lit
erary rot. i
r-
It will, we suspect, surprise nobody to
learn that the London Times' American
correspondent, George W. Smalley, does
not approve of the Monroe doctrine,
But It will, if anything, add to the doc
trlne's popularity.
Does It Mean Chicago?
Considerable stress Is laid, and no
doubt deservedly, upon the fact that
Joseph H Manley, ex-Chairman of the
Republican National committee, has
written to a friend In Chicago asking
him to engage thirty rooms for the
Reed headquarters at the Republican
National convention. The inference, of
course, is that Chicago will be the suc
cessful bidder for the convention, and
this looks very probable. The dlsas
trous experiences of the last convention
argue heavily against the selection of
an untried site; and while Pittsburg
might prove equal to the emergency of
entertaining a convention In proper
stylo, Chicago is sure to. Another fact
In Chicago's manifest favor is that Chi
cago is on neutral ground. Pittsburg
would be a McKinley city; but the pre
ference of Chicago Is this time unim
portant, and It Is reasonable to suppose
that each of the various candidates
would have a fair following.
After all, Chicago Is the great con
ventlon city; and its selection would be
sure to give general satisfaction.
. The' crime of which George Windlsch,
of Pittston, has just been convicted In
the Luzerne cburts was one of the most
brutal and revolting on record. Slur
der In any form is bad enough; but
when It takes the form of beating the
victim's brains out and afterward mu
tilatlng her body 'With nearly two-score
hatchet thrusts, there Is presented a
peculiarly horrible study in crimin
ology. If Windlsch be Hot Insane he
must be badly diseased; and in either
case the community will no doubt feel
safer when he Is subtracted from it.
The president selected for the time of
Issuing his order placing a batch of the
fi-urth-class postoffices under civil ser
vice rules the week of the election
which extinguishes his party's hope of
regaining power. This may not mean
that Mr. Cleveland wants to foist a
lot of Democratic officeholders on the
next administration, but is has a sus
picious look. The Democratic idea of
the value of civil service reform is In
variably the strongest when civil ser
vice reform promises to keep Demo
crats In office.
hf ft-Wellman's Intimation that Mr.
Cleveland has the cordial esteem of the
English ministry, which would like to
sec him renominated and re-elected,
will certainly augment his popularity
among; the mugwumps and the "wlllle
boys." . . ; .
probabilities are that the stock water
era will one day hear something drop.
"urover Cleveland, writes a corre
spondent of the Washington Post, "is
scheduled to thunder down the ages as
the one president who accepted the an
nihilation of the party that elected him
as a vindication of his own statesman
ship. It Is as If a doctor were to point
to the graves of his patients as the su
preme tokens of his professional skill."
The three steps by which Mr. Cleve
land hopes to stride toward a third
term are. If Washington advices may
be believed, first, the unreserved ac
ceptance by England of the Monroe
doctrine; second, the acceptance by
Spain of American mediation In Cuba;
and lastly the annexation of Hawaii.
When he achieves these results we shall
feel at liberty to consider his case.

The Decline of Bayard.
Washington Post: "Mr. Bayard has
been getting worse steadily, anl by per
fectly logical anil rymmetrlcal stages.
The first gymptoiri that aroused real so
licitude concerning him was his now fa
mous u tterance.- In which he lauded the

he declared that he had not hnrd a coarse
exclamation or witnessed a brutal spec
tacle In the two years of his residence In
England; when he mourned, by inference,
over 'the moral Inferiority of his own peo
ple and wept, by suggestion, becnusc of
their comparative rudeness and barbnr
Ism. Then came his remarkable speech
to the authorities anil leading- cltixens of
the town of York, we think In which ho
shM with emphasis and definition what
he hnl before only Insinuated as to the
lower morality, not to say the degradation
of Americans; where he referred to them
as "an unruly and a violent people,' and
gave his audience to understand that
only a. ruler of despotic temper and colos
sal mould rould keep them to a semblance
of civilization and continence. And now
comes his latest utterance touching the
elections of last week wherein he gives
way to violent denunciation of the Ameri
can people, condemns their wickedness
and brutality and savage disregard of
decency in retiring the party of free trade,
anrt returning to the Dartv or oroteetton.
What gives 'this special significance Is the
fact that Mr. Ilayard is dwelling In Lon
don, where the commercial and financial
publlnaUons dally gloat over the Dem
ocratic tanrr legislation of 1S84. and snow
by unanswerable figures and statistics
that 'that legislation Is immediately re

Cleveland la Popular.
From Walter Wellman's Washington
Letter to the Chicago Times-Herald:
"Would Great Britain liko to see Mr.
Cleveland elected to another term In the
white house? Probably. It Is not likely
the friends of the president will advance
this as a reason why he should be nomi
nated to a fourth term, but If It Is a fact
It Is an Interesting one, and there are
many reasons why one may believe such
to tie tne case, it is known here that Mr.
Cleveland Is popular with British states.
men. Thin popularity docs not originate
so much in the president s attitude on the
tariff questions as the high protectionists
may want us to neiieve, but from Mr,
Cleveland's chnmnlonshlo of a sound cur
rency, and more particularly on account
of his reasonable view of all foreign ques
tions. Mr. Cleveland Is not a Jingo. He
does not go about with a chip on his
shoulder, daring some one to knock it off,
He Is not always trying the political ex
periment of twisting the lion's tail. In his
handling- of every International difficulty
the president Is deliberate, careful, fre9 of
temper and free from quarrelsomeness.
From the time he 'bounced' Sackville-
West till he and Secretary Olney raised
tne Monroe doctrine in Venezuela Mr,
Cleveland has had no friction with the
statesmen in Downing street. Over there
the respect for him and his methods Is so
great, and the fear of a constant round
of trouble in ease some Jingo gets Into the
wntte nouse is so general in tne English
mind, tnat no one well-informed concern,
jng the relations between the two gov
ernments would be surprised if Orcat
Britain would play a pretty lively though
perhaps covert hand in the coming presl.

"The Third Term Ambition.
From Walter Wellman's Washington
Letter In the Chicago Times-Herald: "In
Washington, which Is one of the Doorest
places in the world from whleh o Judge
American public opinion, three views of
Mr. Cleveland anu tne tnird term are
found In Democratic circles. One, found
only In the. Immediate vicinity of the
president himself, Is that Mr. Cleveland
ran be nominated and elected, despite the
third-term prejudice and the antagonisms
within his party. The net-on d Is found
among officials of the administration who
are not Cleveland worshipers. They say,
while the president Is stronger than his
party, and perhaps strong enough to carry
the country even In the face of recent
Democratic discouragements, were it a
second term that was asked for, the anti
third term tradition would more than off
set his personal popularity and make him
weaker than his party were he to stand
as the candidate next year. These men
think the anti-third term tradition,
whether rational or Irrational, has exist
ence deep down in the convictions of the
people, and that it would be madness to at
tempt to overcome It. The third view Is
held by Democratic senators and represen
tatives who dislike Mr. Cleveland, nnd is
that the president running for a third term
would not carry half a dozen states of the
union. Some of them are angry enough
to hope that he will try it. Nevertheless,
the shadow of a third term now hangs
over the Democratic party. It will not dis
appear until Mr. Cleveland himself re
moves It or the party meets In national
convention and throws It off."

New Trials In Criminal Cases.
St. Louis Globe-Democrat: "There Is a
growing feeling that society would be
benefitted, and the cause of Justice pro
moted, If motions for new trials in crimi
nal cases were entirely prohibited. It Is
a notorious fact that in ninety-nine In
stances out of a hundred such motions are
made upon frivolous grounds and for the
purpose of preventing the enforcement of
the laws. There is no reason to believe
that errors justifying new trials are com
mitted except at rare Intervals; but in
almost every case of conviction a motion
for a new -trial is Immediately entered,
and It must be acknowledged that the
courts are far too willing to grant them,
as a matter of habit rather than because
there are good reasons for such action.
The theory of the Jury system Is that the
verdict of twelve honest and disinterested
men, after a full hearing of the evidence
and arguments on both sides, Is as apt to
tie ngnc as can De expected; and tnis
theory is antagonized and practically re
pudiated every time a new trial Is grant
ed. It Is conceivable, of course, that there
are cases now and then In whlcn gross
errors entitle the accused parties to new
trials; but the exceptions are very few to
the rule that Jury verdicts are correct and
ought to stand."
:o:
Will Soon Take a Braeo.
fit. Louis Globe-Democrat: "Ex-Senator
Edmunds states the truth hluntlv when
he says that 'the trouble with us and our
foreign policy is that we stand still while
but competitors are at work:' but wa will
get a move on us in that respect as soon

As befits ths Levlte, the pulpit Is more
definite In charges, more specific In enum
erating the sins of the century than the
discursive essayists. A3 a matter of fact,
the first signal of the controversy came
from the rector of Trinity church, New
York, some years ago, when he accused
American wemen of depravity and Ameri
can men of Inlldelity, not only In breaking
the commandments, but accepting faUe
standards of duty in business and pub
lic life. The tale, at its utmost, is told in
Buckle's "History of Civilization." It Is
found In ample terms In the earliest litera
tures known to schalarshlp. Deuteronomy
and Eceloslaj tts prefigure it In the Juris
prudence of the Mosaic dispensation. A
comparison of all rices in jtl epochs will
show that the ueople at the close of this
century are no more degenerate than the
people of any century since the race be
gan. There may be more sin now, since there
are more pi-onle to sin; there may be moro
refinement of vice, with more consplc icnts
results becauFe. In this ago, there is no
such thing as privacy. What men do row,
all men know. In other days mystery en
wrapped tho individual, shrouded high
rank and took no concern of the obscure.
Hence It Is easy to saddle this century
with depravities hitherto burled In the re-ct-3ses
of secrecy. Actual experience with
our fellow-men reveals a hKher ideal of
social, marital, civic duty than the world
ever dreamed In days that may be sup
posed unregenerate. Contrast the turpi

rank and caste, the lawlessness of the
