Hughes, and insists that, without influence to the contrary from Oyster Bay. the republicans of New York would refuse the governor a renomination. In a letter to the New ] York Sun on the situation, Mr. Barnes ; says: . 1 "But since it has resolved itself into a : problem as to whether the President of , the United States shall dictate the choice ( i at Saratoga, the present status does ' resemble 18S2. when by command of 1 Arthur Judge Charles J. Folger was i > forced upon a sullen conclave and upon ( electors so rebellious that the way was paved for Mr. Cleveland." There is no likeness between the Folger ! incident and the present one. Judge Folger was the Secretary of the Treasury at the time of his candidacy for his party's nomination for governor, and was submitting no record for approval. He was a superior man, but not a figure in popular political calculations at home. His principal claim to consideration was President Arthur's favor. Without that he would not have been a factor in the contest for that nomination. With that he won the nomination, but lost the election. His party slaughtered him at the polls. Mr. Hughes is serving in the office of governor. He has a record made in the place, and is submitting it for approval. He has not been brought into the campaign by Mr. Roosevelt. He is there of his own power and prominence. He has . a following for which he is Indebted to ' nobody but himself. If Mr. Roosevelt * desires his renomination it is because he has become convinced that Gov. Hughes i upon his official record is the strongest * republican in the state, and as the candidate for governor will aid both the state < ticket and the national ticket. Is that ( forcing a candidate on the party? The bosses in New York are opposed to Gov. Hughes, not because he is the j friend and the favorite of Mr. Roosevelt i for the nomination, but because of their 1 discovery that they cannot use him for 1 their purposes. He Is neither the Presl- j dent's man nor their man, but his own i man, yielding his only allegiance to those < f from whom he holds his commission. The 1 people elected him and he has been serv- j ing the people. If they elect him again ] he will serve them again. J It will be In the power of the bosses to slaughter the candidate at the polls. But ' will they exercise that power? The maneuver in 1882 cost the New York republicans the governorship of the state, and ! I two years later the party at large the ; presidency. His success over Judge Foli ger in the state race made Mr. Cleveland his party's presidential candidate against Mr. Blaine, and the aftermath of the Folger episode was the failure of Mr. Blaine to carry New York. Are the republican bosses, with that history before them, willing to sacrifice Gov. Hughes this year, with the probable effect on the national ticket to Increase the enormity of the betrayal? The Early Case. Washington has reason to be proud of the manner in which Its officials have borne themselves toward the unfortunate man who was found here afflicted with leprosy. They went at the work of isolating and caring for him calmly and humanely. and while his circumstances . might perhaps be improved, he is never- , theless the object of much greater consideration than has been paid to others in 1 his predicament elsewhere. Especially when compared with the treatment of the Syrian, Rossett, by the authorities of Maryland and West Virginia, the handling of the Early case has been highly ; to the credit of the local officials. It is to be remembered in this connection that the District government had to consider the public sensitiveness in , the premises. An instinctive fear of leprosy prevails among the greater part of the people, and it was important that the case should be so disposed of as to ^ arouse the least possible degree of alarm. This has undoubtedly been done, and meanwhile the unfortunate man has been given every attention and comfort which ' his condition permitted. Yet it is not to he believed that he will be allowed to remain indefinitely where he is. The location of his tent is not a good one. The region is undeniably unwholesome, and soon the tent in which he is housed will \ be an inadequate habitation. Some better provision must be made for him. It may be that his case can be scientifically studied for the sake of others. Perhaps this experience may prove to have been for the benefit of mankind. In spite of the hospitality of his front porch Nebraska voters do not eeem to care much about playing In Mr. Bryan's yard. Possibly T. Jenkins Halns mistook himself for a character in one of his own stories. Trial by Newspaper. For some time a committee of the American Bar Association has been engaged in preparing a draft of canons of ethics for the guidance of members of the legal profession, to be submitted for consideration at the annual meeting, now in progress at Seattle. The proposed draft has been circulated widely in order to elicit discussion. The twentieth canon deals with "newspaper discussion of pending litigation." and is as follows: "Newspaper publications by a lawyer as to pending or anticipated litigation may interfere with a fair trial in the courts :tnd otherwise nrettn1ie? ihn due admin. istratlon of justice. Generally they are to be condemned. If the extreme circumstances of a particular case justify a statement to the public It Is unprofessional to make it anonymously. An ex parte reference to the facts should not go beyond quotation from the records and papers, on file In the court; but even In extreme cases it is better to avoid any ex parte statement." While this is plainly designed to cover primarily civil proceedings in courts, it has a direct bearing upon a criminal case now conspicuously In evidence, the forthcoming trial of the Halns brothers for the murder of William Annls. Ever since the homicide the metropolitan newspapers have printed long accounts not only covering the facts of the tragedy, but dealing with the plans of the defense and prosecution. The news writers assigned to the affair have evidently met with little difficulty-ta Inducing the attorneys for the two sides to talk. Consequently the printed accounts have covered a wide ground of fact and speculation, and suggestions of a most sensational character have been advanced, with hints of shocking testimony to come, with half-veiled threats from one side or the other that certain expedients would surely lead to reprisals. The result has been a virtual trial of the case by the attorneys, with the eager assistance of the reporters, in the publlg prints long in advance of the actual summons to court. The climax of impropriety was reached a day or so ago when through the cooperation of the counsel for the defense the New York papers were enabled to publish a statement by an unnamed lawyer who had been secured as a witness for that side. This man proceeded to give his testimony in the form of an inter view which tended to blacken the character of Annis in allocking terms. It was a scandalous violation of good taste, if not of professional ethics. The canon proposed at Seattle would assuredly cover It prohibitively. This reputed witness, it Is to be remembered, may never take the stand; he was not cross-examined while testifying: he was not under oath; his name was not divulged by the attorneys who made his statement public. Yet his attack upon the slain man was given the stamp of approval by the defense and was of course published along with other matters of an interesting nature. The newspapers are'in duty bound to publish whatever is decently printable and pertinent to the issues involved in such cases. They are In no wise responsible for the improper zeal of attorneys or the claims of defendants or partisans of the other side. It is their business to print the news, even though they may deplore the extravagant and indiscreet and unfair enterprise of those in making It. It should be the business of counsel to prevent premature discussions, to estop prospective witnesses from talking. A trial is for the purpose of bringing the truth to light, not to give one side or another the advantage. The jurors are supposed to be unprejudiced and are in theory ignorant of any of the circumstances. Premature publication of the testimony can have only the effect of influencing the minds of men and rendering the task of securing a jury more difficult. For this reason alone the American Bar Association should take high ground on the subject of trial by newspaper and adopt a canon unmistakable in its effective prohibition of such conduct as that which has been lately in evidence. The Atlantic City Scandal. The grand jurors summoned specially to consider the excise law violations in Atlantic City have defied the governor of the state, at whose instance they were assembled, refusing to find indictments even in the face of positive evidence of law breaking. The judge of the court discharged .them with a severe rebuke, and thereupon their foreman delivered himself of the following speech: "As grand Jurors we feel our great responsibility. We are willing to stand before God and say that we feel that we have performed our duty and have not violated our oaths. We represent the will af the people of Atlantic county. We feel that we are supreme; and without affront we feel that no person, however clothed with power or office, has a right to rebuke us in this manner. We, as representatives of Atlantic county, representing 15,000,000 worth of property, do not intend that the deliberations of this lury shall be made political capital. We want nothing concealed. We want a spade called a spade. We grand jurors tried with all our might to have presented before us gambling evidence which the prosecutor of the county caused to be published in the newspapers, but we did not get it. At every turn we were throttled as grand Jurors." It appears that the prosecuting officers felt that they lacked sufficient evidence to convict of gambling violations, and so withdrew the pending cases of that character. This led to an unseemly dickering with the grand jurors refusing to Indict for excise violations unless the gambling evidence was adduced, and the prosecutors refusing to bring forth the gam onng evidence unm ine excise indictments were found. In dhort, a deadlock occurred, with the result of the Jury's discharge. Gov. Fort has met the emergency thus caused by issuing a proclamation declaring his determination to enforce the laws In Atlantic City, even if he is compelled to place that community under martial law. As an alternative to this drastic expedient he may call a special session of the legislature to consider the situation, in which event the Atlantic City scandal may lead to wholesale political changes. The Issue has deeply stirred the state. Law-abiding citizens of all counties realize that a crisis has been reached and that the state's reputation is at stake before the country. William F. Vilas. Col. Vilas, to use a shopworn expression often misused, was a democrat of the old school. He was likewise a gentleman of the old school. He had large ability and high character, and served the country well in high station. He did not, however, possess the qualities of popular leadership, being of a reserved disposition which the crowd always mistakes for coldness and unresponsiveness. He figures among the public men of one speech. A eulogy of Gen. Grant which he delivered thirty years ago was greatly and justly admired, and promised a new orator in our firmament. But Col. Vilas never again even approached that mark. He always spoke well, and in the Senate was listened to with much respect, but nothing resembling eloquence ever fell from his lips any more. He was one of his party's best products in the northwest.' The life-long democrat who will vote the republican ticket and the life-long republican who is going to vote the democratic ticket are both in evidence. Both will be welcomed by campaign managers without being cross-questioned as to whether they are influenced by personal grievances. Mr. Fairbanks has demonstrated that there is no need of a Vice President being obscure if he possesses a facility in making cordial and timely speeches. i in T It seems a little as if Candidate Chafin should interest himself in investigations that may relieve the cities compelled to worry about water supply. Castro's attitude toward Queen Wilhelmina shows the world that in addition to being a number of objectionable things he is no gentleman. * _ 1 _ Bummer resuris ?re rtjsponsjuie ior an enormous percentage of the germs with which city physicians are compelled to struggle. By beating his wife Artist Earl has conclusively demonstrated that the public's first estimate of his "affinity" idea was correct. Cannon. Mr. Cannon Is taking a look around. He has been In New York and is now In Boston sounding sentiment as respects the next House. The subject is interesting to him. If the republicans control the body he will be Speaker, and the office will possess more than the ordinary importance. Tariff revision will be on the cards, and the Speaker will name the committee to prepare the bill. Mr. Cannon will soon take' the stump, and should be very _ _ 4 effective there. His style of speaking is -j easy and attractive, and he deals in mat ter, not manner. He knows his subjects, from a long and conspicuous public serv- . ice, and how to present them to thoughtful audiences. His own election is In no . doubt. The value of last year's catch on the ] Pacific slope is estimated at $26,000,000. . When the fisherman and the statistician get together you may look for something j out of the ordinary. Airship invention may make sufficient ' progress in this country to make it a . matter of indifference to Capt. Hobson whether there is an old-fashioned fleet in j the Pacific or not.

"Is your son-in-law, the duke, a yood ' conversationalist?" "Well," answered Mr. Cumrox, "he's I willing enough. But my foreign vocabula- ! ry is limited. I can never feel sure ' whether he is talking about his pedigree \ or thinking up a menu for dinner." Busily Engaged. "What do the voters of your community think of our candidate?" asked the campaigner. "Well," answered Farmer Corntossel, "to tell you the truth, we've been so busy perusin' the convention perceedin's an" the notification perceedin's an' the reports of conferences an' the spell-blndin' speeches that we haven't had much . chance to" think about the candidate hisself."

"Well." answered Mr. Meekton, "I don't know exactly; but I think Henrietta believes the destinies of the nation would be more secure if they had iced tea and lettuce sandwiches at elections and decorated the ballots with poster designs." Uncertainties of Fame. j "In Europe it is customary to name streets after great men." "Yes," answered Miss Cayenne. "In some cases the compliment is a little bit unsatisfactory owing to the difficulty of foretelling what kind of a street it is going to be." The Great Bivalry.

From the Boston Transcript. Farragut and Thomas, two southerners who won fame by their adherence to the _ cause of the Union, one a Tennesseean , and the other a Virginian, are kept in ; remembrance in the National capital by a i square and a circle respectively, which stand at the centers of the most desirable residential districts. Few historical characters have been equally fortunate in this respect. Farragut Square is surrounded , by substantial edifices,. Including several of the best apartment houses in the city, besides a number of the private residences such as those of the Vice President and of Gen. Draper. Cities the world over perpetuate the historical epochs in which : they grew. This civil war has given to ' the National capital, since its period of expansion came Just after that struggle, the i great names for the new city's focal points. And while the south has naturally had a smaller part In them than the northerners, it may derive a little solace Indirectly, perhaps, from thinking of the importance of its contributions, in military genius, as well as in border-state : soldiers, to the cause of the Union, which j la thpra rtpmot 11atoH w v?>v? v |/vi ^/v. wuuvwii The Exile of Fort Grant. From the New York Sun. Deprived of all other privileges en- 4 joyed by army officers. Col. William F. J Stewart of the Coast Artillery, now exiled at Fort Grant, Ariz., is not to be overlooked In the riding tests. He has been ordered to Fort Huachuca to undergo in at least that one caBe the benefits provided 'by an all wise government. We wonder why an officer who has been pronounced temporarily unfit for active duty and banished to the wilderness as a punishment for his refusal to retire should be subjected to an experiment so obviously futile. There is no reason why an officer of coast artillery should ride a horse ninety miles or be able to walk fifty miles. His ability to perform either of these athletic feats will throw no sort of light upon, his qualifications for any of the legitimate _ duties of his calling. Besides, he has been * permanently withdrawn from active duty | now and Is held somewhat ostentatiously ! In exile awaiting the moment of his en- j forced retirement for age. He might be j a hopeless cripple or a confirmed invalid i so far as concerns his services at Fort J Grant. 4 ' "> 1 Let Us Have Peace! jj From the New York Erenlnjc Foot. i It is just because Mr. Bryan exhibits ] some of Mr. Roosevelt's unhappiest traits , that he seems unfitted for the presidency. , For the moment we have had enough < clamor and turmoil.

We ' are tired of fantastic proposals that can- ' not possibly be formulated Into law.

Mr. Bryan virtually promises us a continuance of that excitement which has marked President Roosevelt's administration. Our ears will be deafened with tumult and shouting.
