Give Her a Fair Trial.
. Gail Hamilton has written a timely
letter to the Boston Journal, in which
she expresses the hope that Miss Lizzie
Borden, at her ensuing trial, will re-
ceive the justice which, in the opinion
of some of the highest 7'American and
English authorities, was denied to Mrs.
Mavbrick.
There has been manifest on the part
of certain officials far too much of a
disposmion to treat Miss Borden as if
she were already proved guilty of the
heinous crime with ' ‘which she is
charged. Measures which the general
public is disposed to regard as utterly
unwarrantable were taken at the in-
quest of Miss Borden’s father, for the
apparent purpose of breaking down
the accused woman and entangle her in
a net of fatal contradictions. The in-
tellioent public. which desires to see
justice done, but abhors persecution,
especially if the victim is a helpless
woman, will heartily approve Gail
Hamilton’s position when she says :
“What we demand for Miss Borden—
that to which she has a right—is civil-
ized and Christian treatment until the
hour of her trial, and then a fair trial.”
The British Dog Tax.
The United States at Bristol has come
into collision with the British dog tax.
The dog tax over there does not share
the humility of the tariflias a mere lo-
cal issue as it does he1e. It is a matter
of which the general government takes
charge. The consul’s refusal to pay
his tax develops some figures which
may be of interest not onlyto dog own~
ets, but to both of: our great political
parties. The dispatches bring the in-
formation that the tax over there is
three dollars.‘ It is not stated, how~
ever, whether this 33 dollars entitles
the dog to live out his natural life, or
whether it is anannual tax such as dog
_ owners here are familiar. with._ If $3
gives a dog immunity from the disa-
greeable attentions ' and unwarranted
liberties of the dog catcher, a dog own-
er may be excused for concluding (af-
ter following the statesmanlike course
of attributing everything that happens
to the tariff) that the conditions foss
tered by British free trade have their
advantages. If, however, the $3 is "an
anhual tax, it is plainly excessive and
another argument'in favor of protec-
tion. The canine may break into poli-
tics yet. i

He is a Democrat.
If there had been any lingering
doubts as to the quality of the democ-
racy of Hon. Aduti Stevenson, they
would not have survived the shock he
gave the Mugwumps on Saturday last.
He did not content himself by the mere
declaration that he was a Democrat,
but his response to a statement of ex-
Gov. Campbell was of such a nature as
to cause a warming up of' the blood of
everv J efl'ersonian Democrat in the
land..
.11 the course of a short speech at the
unclusion of Mr. Stevensom's, address
ex-Gov. Campbell paid a graceful trib-
ute to Mr. Stephenson’s untiring ze’al
1'01 his party, and, among other things,
said that 'on one occasion when he
(Campbell) was a member of Congress,
First Assistant Postmaster-General Ste-
venson decapitated sixty-five Republi-
can postmasters for him in just exactly
two minutes. This was received with
applause, but the climax came when
Mr, Stevenson interrupted Ohio’s ex-
Governor to say that he considered that
the highest compliment that he had re-
ceived in his whole life.
There is no uncertain sound in that
utterance. It means if the Democratic
ticket succeeds, that, so far as Mr. Ste-
venson is concerned, the administra-
tion will be Democratic every day in
the week and twenty-four hours per
day. This may not please the Mug-
wumps, but it must be admitted that
Mr. Stevenson’s straight-forwardness
will suit a majority of the American
people. If we are to have a Democratic
administration, let us have one that
will not be afraid to come out into the
open and show itself. That is the kind
of administration Adlai wOuld conduct.
Words for Widows and Orphans.
Postmaster-General Wanamaker has
very properly expressed public sympa-
thy for the families of the four postal
clerks who were recently killed in the
wreck at Shreve, Ohio. The Postmas-
ter-General not only sympathizes with
the relatives of the deceased Govern-
ment employees, but he makes the fol-
lowing observation: “ I must give ex-
pression to my profound regret that the
Department is not authorized to extend
a more substantial recognition of the
faithful services of clerks who die :at
their posts of duty.”
It is not to the credit of this great
.and prosperous nation that the Post-
mester- General is forced to express
such a regret, says the Washington
Post. On the contrary, the fact that
men who risk their lives every moment
they are engaged at work have no as-
surance that their wives and children
will be saved from abject poverty in
case of disaster is highly discreditable
. to the legislative branch of the Govern-
‘ment.
It is not a reasonable excuse to note
- the fact that there is no dificulty en-
countered' 1n securing men to' fill these
dangerous places' 1n the Railway Mail

The 2. 04- Pace and Trot.
If any modern Paul Revere should
have occasion to go thundering down
the ages he would have some difficulty
in deciding between Nancy Hanks,2 .,04
and Mascot, 2.04, in choosing his horse.
The former’ s mile, trotted against her:
self and time, has been tied by the pac-.
ing of the latter, and lovers of horses
flesh are asking, What next? Since
American horses first made a record it
has been reduced about three-fourths
of a minute. Much of this reduction
was made. before the entrance upon the
scene of the bicycle sulky and other
contrivances in track and trappings
which would aid the horse, and since
“befo’ de wah” fifteen seconds or more
have beenlopped away. When Nancy
Hanks brought down the record to 2.04,
or 4.5 seconds below the best made by
any other anima1,'the sporting world,-
looking backward at Maud S. and Jay
Eye See, felt that the horse to beat:
Nancy was probably yet to be bred.
only to the ability to make a mile it has
been answered almost before it has ta-
ken shape. Mascot has tied Nancy’s
mile, with Flying Jib a sharp competi~
tor, and broken her third quarter rec-
ord by a quarter second. '
Nancy Hanks must get a move on her
if she desires to remain a synonym of
record smashing. Either her sulky or
herself must become more pneumatic
or Mascot in pacing may more than tie
her in trotting, thus maintaining the
historic relations of trotting and pacing.
In the meantime those who have given
time. patience, enterprise, and careful
study to breeding are beginning to
near another goal as a reward for their
labors, and, a they draw close to the
two-minute trotter or pacer, they have
the satisfaction of realizing that the
record smashing on the track is improv-
ing the character of the horse in this
country for speed and endurance.

What Swindle Next.
It was inevitable that when the so-
called endowment orders began to
break they must all go to pieces to-
gether. Being all based upon the as-
sumption that human credulity is un-
limited and that the enrollment of new
members could be maintained to infini-
ty, it was clear that anything which
checked their expansion must bring
the whole scheme to an end. As long
as one or two of them monopolized the
field, the supply of fools and gamblers
might have kept them going for many
years to the continued profit of their
promoters; but the multiplication of
competing speculations soon exhausted
the supply of new members that was es-
sential to the endurance of the scheme,
and when this point was reached, the
jig was up. As soon as the earlier fail-
ures exposed the fallacy of the plan,
there was nothing left but to wind up
the whole business as soon as possible,
says the Philadelphia Times.
The people who expected to get riches
without earning them are now wonder-
ing, not what proportion of their ex-
pectations will be realized, but what
proportion of the money they actually
have paid in they are likely to get back.
They generally rind that an astonish-
ing share of it has been absorbed in
salaries and expenses and they regard
themselves as the victims of fraud. But
what did they expect? Every man of
them, when he went into one of these
schemes, expected to take adypntage of:
the losses or misfortunes of some of his
associates, since that Was the only
source of all the promised profit. Did
he not know that those who were in be.
fore him, those who started and were
managing the scheme, were in it for
their own profit at his expense ? He
expected to beat somebody else; they
expected to beat him. If they have suc-
ceeded in doing so, it is simply the for-
tune of the game.
Of course the talk of “reorganizing”
any of these orders can mean nothing,
except a wish to hold on to what is left.
Nobody will be taken in again with
this particular form of humbug. But
the enteiprising supremes are not go-
ing to abandon the profitable business
of promoting swindles, and they may
be expected to reappear shortly with a
brand new scheme. And they will not
be interfered with. '

Perhaps “113 may be so far as trottina‘. crime.
is concerned, but if the query relates '
ity. But the promoters knew how to
diffuse interest in their schemes among
men with political influence, so that
they not‘only defied interference, but i
in some cases actually secured legisla-
tion of their own devising. ’ T‘s is the
most disgraceful part of the whole busi-
ness, and whatever efiect the current
exposures may have upon public cred-u-
lity, they ought at least to serve as a
warning to politicians and public men.
