Speaking of Cuba, the country Is re
quested to hold Its breath Orover and
Olney are thinking It over.
Entirely Out of Order.
We quite nscref with the Sun's opinion
thnt the Cull Joint resolution reciting
the belief that Mrs. Florence Maybrlck
Hhould he released from Imprisonment
In England is not a proper resolution
for congress to consider. Its Intentions
may be benevolent and humane, but It
la nevertheless a very Impertinent prop
osition In Its present form. The Sun
surrounds the facts completely when it
tays :
"If a British citizen had been tried
and convic ted mum a charge of crime
In one of the federal courts of this coun
try; if public attention 1iad been called
to facts Indicating that the prisoner
vAts probably Innocent and that his
trial had been unfairly conducted; If
Uiese matters had been laid befor! the
president ui'on an application for a
pardon; and if the president, after u
careful consideration of the record In
the case, with the advice and usslstunce
of the attorney-general, had deter
mined that there was no nulllcient
ground for the exercise of executive
clemency, the people of this, country
would think it almost Impudent on tin
pan of the British parliament to ad.jpt
a resolution declaring the belief of the
Knglish people In the innocence of the
convict and the unfairness of the trial."
If is absurd to say that Mrs. Mny
hiiek did not get a fair trial because
site was' an American and a woman,
lunian nature is not different In Eng
land than in other countries with refer
ence to the fact that there is in the na
tnrp rtf mankind ti fio'tnln Hvnintithv
for accused women which is not mani
fest In the ease of accused men. If
there were good grounds for re-opening
.Mrs. Maybtick's case. It can hardly be
doubted that It would have been re
opened long ago, out of compliment to
the eminent persons who have Inter
ceded In her behalf. The English gov
ernment might even yet, as an act ot
International courtesy, pardon' the
woman, and such u course would In our
judgment redound to Its credit. But it
could not without swallowinu Its self
respect give favorable heed to a reso
lution by the American congress cast
ing a stigma upon the tvholesystem of
British criminal jurisprudence.
If Cuba were free, the balance of our
trade with her, now approximately $05,
000,000 against us, would probably Boon
owing around to our credit. This is not
the chief reason why we should favor
Cuban Independence, but It Is one of
tne not unimportant subsidiary ones.
Death of Colonel Cockerill.
From a number of standpoints,
American journalism is a heavy loser
by the death, at Cairo, of Colonel John
A. Cockerill. Such men us Cockerill
supply the dash, the daring and the
versatility of news-commanding re
sources that make It possible for news
papers to occupy an Influential posi
tion in public affairs. It Is possible
that this type of Journalist is somewhat
over aggressive and irreverent, plac
ing more stress on the doing of tempor-,
arily sensational things than on
achievements of permanent value. It
cannot be forgotten, in writing Colonel
CockerlU's biography, that he did more
than any other man, next to Its proprle-
tor, to make the New York World the
great dally slop-barrel that It is. That
paper is very largely Colonel CockerlU's
creation. It stands as a monument to
his ingenuity in distinguishing the kind
of diseased reading which the multi
tude wants and to his enterprise in see
ing that the multitude got, In the pa
per over which he presided, every
morning just what it wanted, spiced up
to the very limit of its morbid taste.
It success consists of doing whatever
one undertakes so well that it cannot
easily be bettered, then Colonel Cocker
ill was undoubtedly, successful. He
. made for another man several million
dollars. He brought , to working per
fection the finest "mccTiftnlsm Of gutter
journalism in the United States. He
displayed in a not very creditable di
rection mental gifts and personal
graces which, If they had been em
ployed In loftier lines of , endeavor,
would unquestionably have made their
Douasfor a foremost figure of bii day.
and general k'lu iK-ath rame to this
brilliant man almost at the threshhold
'f a new career which ,romlsKl to lift
Mm above the level of his former voca
tion and enroll him among the few im
mortal historians of con tern Mrary
time. Th satire of it all is that his
life-work Is already forgotten by the
mob to whom he catered, and there is
nothing durable left whereby his mem
ory may be perpetuated.
The fact that Senator Andrews, who
Is a candidate for national delegate,
has declared his second choice to be
McKinle'y. would scein to indicate that
th Pennsylvania and the tihio candi
dates are by no means on lighting
terms.
Defining Plagiarism.
The question of literary ethics raised
by the discovery that the Raster ser
mon preached by Rev. Pr. P. Parker
Morgan tu the Church of the Heavenly
Rest In New York was for the greater
part Identical with a sermon published
eighteen years ago by Rev. Pr. tleorge
Putnam Is being debated Just now with
a great deal of spirit. For instance,
last Saturday, in the Temple Knianu
El, New York, Rev. Pr. Jusc:h Silver
man, assistant to Rabbi Oottheil, en
deavored. In a sermon of much force,
to extenuate Pr. Morgan's offense, and
got for hlB pains a sharp. rebuke from
his eccleslnstical suix-rlor and also one
from the president of the congregation.
The facts in Pr. Morgan's c ase are too
many to be reviewed In detail; for the
benefit of those who do not know them
it may be said that he admits having
plagiarized the sermon In question, be
cause he had been so busy during the
preceding week that he was unable
to prepare an original sermon.
The point raised by Pr. Silverman in
the comment that excited criticism
from his colleague and his (lock was
that plagiarism is ulnful only when
there is a deliberate intent to deceive
the public or to defraud another writer
or speaker of credit due him. "In lit
erature," the doctor went on to say,
"there, are many coincidences and Imi
tations of thoughts and phrases. Most,
If not all, poets, dramatists, novelists,
and orators have borrowed from one
another. 'Give and take' Is the unwrit
ten rule In literature. 'What is a great
man,' asks Emerson, 'but one of great
atlinitles, who takes up Into Yiimself nil
arts, sciences, all knownblcs as his
food?' 'Milton,' says William Mat
thews, 'has been called the celestial
thief, and boldly plagiarized from
Pante and Tasso, and all of them from
Homer, and who does not believe that
Homer had a reservoir of learning to
draw from, a mysterious lake of knowl
edge Into which he could now und then
throw a bucket?' Goethe laughed the
idea of absolute originality to scorn,
and declared that It was an author's
duty to us all that was suggested to
hint from any quarter. When Shake
speare is accused of pilfering, Laiulur
replies: 'Yes, he was more original
than his originals. He breathed upon
dead bodies and brought them Into life.'
It has been said of pope that what
ever jewel ho appropriated, he Fet it
in gold. Perhaps the best definition of
legitimate appropriation was given by
Hegel when Cousin was accused of
stealing his ideas. 'Cousin.' said he,
has caught some small fishes lu my
pond, but he has drowned them lu his
ow n sauce.' "
It would have been fairer on the part
of Rev. Pr. Morgon to have notified
his congregation frankly ot his lack of
time and to have told It that the ser
mon about, to be preached was bor
rowed from the book by Pr. Putnam.
To this course there could have been
no exception. His failure to do this
was certainly an error of judgment.
Cut It can hardly be magnified into on
unpardonable crime. The Indignation
with which Pr. Silverman denounced
the Newark clergyman who rushed
into print with a public exiKise of the
Morgan plagiarism will be shared by
all jiersons who have a speaking ac
quaintance with charity. "The clergy,"
Bays he, and his words apply to Gen
tile no less than to Jew, "ought to
practice some of the brotherly love of
which they prate so eloquently. They
ought to dispense some of the milk of
huniun kindness which they recom
mend with such fervor to the world.
Certainly the preacher ought not to
imitate satan and take lessons from
the snake, that colleth In the grass,
but from the Lord, who reproveth gent
ly and doth both forgive and forget."
That the congregation of Emanu-El
should find In these remarks of its
assistant rabbi anything to censure, Is
very singular. It seems to us that Pr.
Silverman spoke as a broad-minded
andt-harltable man. The typeof in
tellect which goes about hunting among
the literary treasures of the world for
evidences of appropriated Ideas is first
of kin to that type which, when brought
before a canvas of some great master
of painting, studies, not the genius in
the picture, but Its fly specks. It is a
very small type, and merits little re
spect. It is a question whether the McKln
ley pace of the past month can be kept
up for the next six weeks. If it can,
then there will probably not be more
than two' ballots at St. Louts, and
maybe only one.
To Restore Our Merchant flarine.
It Is noteworthy that at the confer
ence In Philadelphia's Maritime Ex
change Thursday of representative
American ship-builders called for the
consideration of plans to encourage the
handling of American commerce In
American-built ships, words of com
mendation were the only words spoken
with reference to the two bills bearing
on this subject which are now pending
In congress. Of these measures, that
Introduced by Senator Elkins provides
for a discriminating duty In addition
to the regular duties of 10 iter cent, ad
valorem on all goods which shall, after
due notice,, be Imported on vessels not
belonging to citizens of the United
States; and the one Introduced by Rep
resentative Payne, of New York, pro
vides for the collection of an extra head
tax of $10 on all immigrants coming to
the United States in vessels not belong
ing to citizens of the United States and
not sailing under the American flag.
One ot the gentlemen present at the
Philadelphia conference and there
earnest in support of these bills, which
he called simply an extension to Ameri
can ship-builders of the protection
hitherto freely accorded by congress to
American manufacturers of trth leg for
use on land, was Alexand'-r R Smith,
editor of the Seaboard, of New York,
the principal organ of our merchant
marine. In a recent Issue of that well
conducted journal Mr. Smith presented
some figures that testify to the stimulus
lmiarted to the American sli!p-huildlng
Industry under the lulluenoe of the dis
criminating duties In force In this
country from 1":4 to It appears
from them that In the tonnage of
American vessels In the foreign trnJe
was ll.SM tons. Under the protection
and Impetus given to American ship
ping by the duties Just referred to.
It had Increased to S46.24 tons In
Kilo, to 263.110 In 17!l. to 411.438 In 1TJ,
to 417.734 In 179.1. to 4:!8.SW In 1734. to
KIM71 In 17l:., to i-.7S.733 in 1796, to 597.
777 in 1797, to 603.37S In 1798. to 657.142 in
1799 and to 667.107 In ISfW. In 17S9
American ships carried 23.7 per cent, of
the total foreign commerce of the Unit
ed States. This was increased In suc
ceeding years up to 1S00. so that Ameri
can ships carried the following propor
tion: 1790 to 40.5 per cent., 1791 to S." per
cent., 1792 to 64 per cent., 1793 to 79.5 per
ent., in 1794 to S8.5 per cent.; 1795 to 90
per cent.. 1796 to 92 per cent., 1797 to 90
per cent.. 179S to 89 per cent., 1799 to 8S.5
per cent, and in 1S00 to 89 per cent.
With the exception of the periods cov
ered by the French, Algerlne and Ilar
bary wars, the Embargo act and the
war of 1812, the proportion of American
foreign commerce carried by American
ships up until 1828 approximated close
ly to 90 per cent. From 1861, when pro
lection of all kinds ceased so far as our
merchant marine was concerned, up to
the end of 1S9I the percentage has fal
len to 12.5 per cent., and Is still slowly
decreasing.
The chief argument brought against
the proposed re-lmposltlon of discrimi
nating duties is that In addition to be
ing vicious In princp'e the contemplat
ed polcy would be likely to prove in
efficient In practice. Retaliation by
foreign nations is feared by some; oth
ers point to the fact that as soon as
American capital gets enough of new
railroad Investments, a contingency
that cannot from the nature of things
be far off, It will seek Investment In
ship bottoms that by more .liberal regis
try and pilotage laws can be Induced to
fly the American Instead of some for
eign flag. The fear of retaliation can,
it strikes us, be dismissed as of slight
foundation. There are few European
nations who trade with us from choice.
The great incentive on their part is
necessity; and discriminating duties
would only add to their burden. The
other argument Is obviously not ger
mane, since the Elkins and Payne acts
would facilitate rather than hinder the
investment of American capital In
Atnerlcan-bullt ships. From a lands
man's standpoint, it appears that these
bills ought to pass. We certainly need
suae kind of legislation which will
once more llcck the ocean with Ameri
can sails, and the kind lu point is de
serving of a fair trial.
All this talk about General Harrison
becoming an active presidential candi
date Is, of course, wholly unwarranted.
The general has defined his position in
good, straightforward, unmistakable
English, The only condition upon
which he could with honor accept a re
nomlnation would be in tho event of on
unanimous and unsolicited call by the
party. Such a call Is possible; and it
will not be long before It can be fore-i
told with tolerable safely Whether it
will be probable.
CRIJIKS AM) llimiXALS.
I'rom the Philadelphia, Press.
Among the most Interesting compila
tions of the I'nited ijuues census bu
reau Is the en" itivl.'ig the facts about
crimes and criminals gathered in imj. It
is to be regretted that the statistics .u'a
live years oil, but that is the fault
not of tiie bureau, but of the lack of
a pernuiiieiit census bureau and of ade
quate appropriations to handle promptly
the material obtained In n national census.
The volume just Issued, however, is crowd
eil with suggestive facts and tijtures, and
It Is worthy ot close study by students of
social questions. The points wnlchwill
interest people chlelly me the whole num
ber of prisoners In the country, tho In
crease shown between 1SS0 and IS:n. an J
the division of prisoners ac cording to sex
and stntu. In Ik!"' ilv re were ,vj, ;!".' per
sons in ail Ihe prisons of the I'liued
States, tit these 7",!lt were males and
li.i'5 were females, it Is pertim-nt to
know that of these prisoners (i . :s:i wer...
in Pennsylvania, and that of these ."..-'im
were males and Mm were females. It will
bo discouraging to learn that the num
ber of prisoners and presumably of crim
inals is increasing rapidly In the country
and In this state also. In l$5u In the whole
country there were R,7:I7 prisoners. Ten
years later this number bud grown to
19.0a1;. The census of 11.70 showed S2.9i.il
prisoners and that of 1SS0 showed uS.iiii!)
prisoners. The increase from 1S.XU to 1M9
was 2:1,720. The ratio of prisoners to popu
lation In IS.-.11 wns Llio to each l.inirt.onii of
population. In 1MM It had grown to to
I, 04(J,W(i--of population In Pennsylvania
the increase in prisoners hns been rapid,
rising from 411 In J8."a to I!.ts9 forty year
later. According to thfse figures this
state lias l,2;lt prisoners for each 1.000.WW
of population, or a little less than the
average for the whole country.
The brightest feature of the showing Is
the small number of female prisoners,
only one In thirteen for the whole coun
try being a woman. When compared
by states the figures show that some
neighborhoods have more than their av
erage share of criminals, or else the laws
are better enforced. Maine, for instance,
has about half the population Arkan
sas has; but the, former state has 512
prisoners to 1,473 In the latter. From this
is mlntit be argued that the Arkansas peo
ple are one-hulf more vicious than the
Maine people. Illinois has about 40 per
cent, more population than Massachusetts,
but the former slate had only 3.,':H pris
oners In 18!W to 5,227 In the latter state. If
the averagu in both states hail been tie;
same Illinois would have over S.alo prison,
era. Msssachusettg with 2.3:."i prisoners to
each 1,000,(100 of population has a higher
average than any suite ea st 01 the it i. y
Mountains, and Is only exceeded by Mon
tana, Nevada and California. This may
come from the fact that the laws are bet
ter enforced In Massachusetts than In
many western and southern states.
Coming to ages. It Is found that hy far
the larger number of criminals are be
tween 15 and 40 years of age. Below
15 there were only 711 persons In prison lu
the t'nlted States. Hut at that aire thei?
is a rapid Increase. There wcro 8.9S4 pris
oners between 15 nnd 19 years Inclusive.
19.70,'i between 20 and 24 years Inclusive,
lrt.348 between 25 and 29 years Inclusive,
II, (178 between .10 and 24 years inclusive,
mid 8,229 between 35 and 39 years inclusive.
As the age Increases the number of pris
oners continues to decrease, until between
80 and 84 years of Hue only thirty-five crlm
Innls were found. The figures confirm
what has long been known, that the criti
cal period Is between 15 and 25 years ef
mho. It Is between these years when the
character Is formed and when parents nnd
guardians nre able to exert their strong
est Influence that the largest number of
criminals Is made.
Of the 75.924 male prisoners In the coun
try In 1890 over half or 48,124 were slnale,
21,425 were married, 8,025 were widowed.
78 were divorced nnd the condition of 2.W2
Is not given. Of the 0,405 female prisoners
In the country 2,506 were single. 2,482 were
married, 1,120 were widowed, tlO were dl-
