THE FRENCH BALL—The most remarkable parts of it were the reports in the daily newspapers, TH ESTATEME P that Wil- liam Evarts wears his grand~ father's hat has been repeatedly shown to be untrue.

DAY the man will be igible as.a juror who has not read the newspapers. The idea that too much knowledge of a case is better than too little is too absurd even for the law.

THE DEATH of the crown prince of Germany is regarded by some as a worse misfortune than would have been his nibs’s continued ex- istence. eee F THE MEN engaged in the recent strike half thought it was on account of the inclemency of the weather, and the other half didn’t pretend to ‘:now anything about it. NATOR EDMUNDS is warmed up with regard to affairs in Samoa, and where there is that amount of heat there must be considerable fire.

THE FAILURE to hunt down and hang the murderer of Clayton of Arkansas will be a greater crime than the murder itself. Can any- one condemn it with more severity than that? HOSE WHO know General Harrison say that no man is bigger than and those who know Blaine say he has no design or desire to be bigger than Harrison. And that is just exactly the situation. DITOR STEAD of the Pall Mall Gazette doesn’t like the London Herald vecause it prints itself on Sundays as well as on the other E DOUBLE HEADS im the newspapers are not always felicitous. Thus we read, “Took’ Rat Poison—A Pleasant Prospect"; and again, * Death of Miss Blank at Sea—Died of Delirium Tremens,” the person who died of the latter not being Miss Blank, but a bad man. RANCE HAS generally been our friend; and during our civil war the czar of that period stood for this government as staunchly as he stood for Russia, In case of trouble between us and Germany what an oppor- tunity there would be for France and the existing czar to put a wet sponge over some old scores ! EXPORT CONVICT- MADE GOODS! It HAS BEEN a problem, not only in this but European . to properly punish and ¢ its criminal classes. England and France adopted for a tong period the transportation of its “derelicts,” and by coloni- jouth Wales and Van Dieman’s land were made the south sea reformatories for English burglars and more irre- pressible criminals, Many of the first families of these now rich and influential appendages to the British empire trace their close ancestry to a parentage whose immigration expenses were paid by the state. This was nota new policy, as two hundred and fifty years ago many of the settlers of Virginia were of the same kind, and with similarly inexpensive passage. In fact, many a proud Virginian would have to own that the family beginnings were from English ancestry exodused for their and their country's good. The United States has no remote and isolated territory applicable to this pur- pose. Even Alaska, which has been suggested as a refrigeratory reform- atory, if the recent statements of corruption and criminality be authenti- cated, would be impracticable as leading to even a deeper than existing debauchment of the criminal exiles, If half-is true that is said, the spon- taneous badness of the whites in Alaska is worse than that of any of the condemned that might be exported. ‘The great objection in the state of New York on the part of the honest workers, who toil for the decent sustenance of themselves and families, is that the competition of criminals, boarded and lodged at state expense, places on the market products that by their lowness of cost assail their possible earnings and, proportionately small as is the quantity offered, if not absolutely controlling, is a depressing factor of values. Labor, that in the late election pronounced for protection against the pauper competition of European workers, wisely asks that it be not attacked by the equally cheap penal labor of our prisons. ‘The contract system, while advantageous to the state in making the penal institutions self-sustaining, and while perhaps giving the contractor a profit, still enabling him to undersell and lower the whole market, has hs apiece, comicbooks.com
