Cntetod at the Newport Nowa, v?.. roitotflce ai lecoud-olait mallur THURSDAY, OCTOBER 11, 1000. TIME FOR INVESTIGATION. For a year or more Warwick coun? ty and Its center of activity, Blood' field, hnvu been allowed to go their TVay without criticism from the pub? lic or the newspapers. Conditions always have been far from Ideal lu tho "Old Free State," but n wave of something akin to reform came along when Judge Tyler, of tho'Circuit Court, assumed supervision of the county's affairs, nud since Hint tlmu the au? thorities have been doing things In n more or less .regular manner._ Now, however, it seems that anoth? er general shaklng-up under tho di? rection of Judge Tyler Is In order. Various things might bo mentioned, but nn It would he unjust to the of? ficial)* as well as' Indiscreet upon our part to mention matters concerning which wo are not informed first hand, we will merely clto two in- ' stances which, In themselves, go a long way toward Illustrating Ihe loose' manner in which public business Is handled In Blootlfleld. A few weeks ago a negro stabbed and nearly killed another on the beach' above this o'.ty. When the doctors finally said Ihe wounded man would recover, the erlmlnnl surren? dered , himself and was released on a bond of $200. Lator two while oystormen from Accomnc county qunrrollod near the mouth of Warwick river and one. struck the other over tho head with a splko. ' The injured ninn waa brought to tho hospital hero with bis skull fractured. Afterward be was ! removed to his home in Accoinsc county, against the protest of a well known doctor of'this city, who says that tbe man is liable to die from convulsions at uny time. The oyster man who used tho spike and against whom tho chargo of murder may ho placed,' was arrested lu Hampton, brought to Bloodfleld and there sot at .liberty ufler he had furnished a bond of $250. ?When a man who may be a mur? derer, can go at large with only a paltry bond of $250 to insure his ap? pearance for trial, we are of tho opinion that It is time for some in? vestigating. THE ANTI-TRUST LAW CRIM? INAL PROVISION. In one of his recent campaign speeches, Hon. Leslie M. Shaw, secre? tary' of tho treasury and a candidate for the Republican presidential nom? ination in 1008, declared that In his "humble judgment, the criminal pro? visions of the anti-trust laws do quite as much barm by affording a shield behind which the parties man? aging and controlling trusts lake refuge tinder tbe pretext that an an? swer to tho questions might Incrimi? nate them as it docs good by way of intimidation. I incline to the opinion that if tbo criminal provisions wer? repealed so I hat every book nnd ev? ery paper and every act could he brought into court, nud every con? versation inquired into, tho existing jufitMllction of the courts lo enjoin further operations and to annul exist? ing charters would result In an amount of good fully compensating tho surrondor of tbe right lo indict, and try. convict and - aentenec. I doubl if 1 am extravagant lu saying that the whole difficulty, the sole difficulty, In the wuy of the enforce? ment of the antitrust laws is in the direction of securing evidence and I know or no such harrier to the so curonient of evidence, no such effec? tive excuse for refusing lo give evi? dence, as the claim that the right of the citizen to refuse to give evidence that will subject him lo criminal prosecution is being infringed." Whatever may be the theoretical advantage of the law hlcwh carries with it the possibility of a prison sentence, It must be admitted that up to date every few of the trust magnates have been turned over to the Jailors of the country. It Is a fact, however, that some of them have escaped all responsibility for deeds believed to have been Illegal, by pleading the sclf-lurrlmimttlng bar to their own testimony. Since the criminal provisions of the law have proved their Im potency. 11 may bo that Secretary Shaw Is right. So far as we can see no harm would he done by trying his suggestion. The law does not now reach the trust magnate. The new system certainly could not be more Inefficient. Of course the payment of those cahipnjgn nssesBinenls In an entirely voluntary action on the part of the government employees. There Is no law In the laud by which they could he forced to pony up. At the some time, it Is recognized that those who refuse to he held up will receive a black mark front those who are In? terested In raising the fund and who have It In their power to make It I warm for any of the recalcitrants." A Baltimore preacher claims to have discovered a cute for the habit of swearing. While we have seen none of the specifications of the now remedy, we venture the asser? tion that If It Is expected to prove efficacious In some cases it would have to include a surgical operation involving the removal of the patient's I tongue. In view of the fact!, made perfect? ly plain In the official secret corres? pondence just made public, it must be admitted that Palma and his ad? visors hat! collossal nervo to chare,; the President ami the United States with bad faith and double dealing. The Czar bad no trouble getting away from home, but 11 Is by no means Improbable that the Terror? ists will endeavor to make thlng.i lively for hint when he attempts to return. A poodle dog, that, has a nurso, a dentist ami a physician, is believed to be the cause of Senator Plait's trouble with his wife. Its a "dog? gone shame" that such little tilings should break up a happy home. Tho cOurtuiartlal'B action in ac? quitting Captain s. p. Comly of ne? glect of duty In connection with the collision between the Alabama and Illinois, meets wllh the approval o! most naval officers. An invasion of the South by Rug Hall capitalists who are interested In cotton culture tuny make things pleasant for planters of that staple who wish to sell their farms. Wholesale druggi.-ls have ob? jected to the present pure food law as being inadequate. Per? haps it is because they can no longer sell adulterated stuff. The Hampton justice who fines wife boaters heavily might stop tho practice more effectually if he could decree that tho culprits should he ' lashed for their sins. The rallrOAdd seem to bo i:: n fair way to make an entirely new high I record in Its killing department for the year.

Application for Certificate of Reason? able Doubt Does Not Confer Right to Freedom?Decision is Final? Notorious Case Reviewed. ALBANY, N. V.. Oct. 10.?The Court of Appeals has decided that Abraham Hummel was not entitled to be out on bail ponding decision on his application for a certificate of reasonable doubt in the ease of his IConviction on a charge of subornation of perjury In connection with the I Dodge-Morse marital tangle. Hum? mel was convicted on December 20 I and sentenced to serve on year In Sing Sing. lie was lodged In Ihn Tombs, but was released Ibe same night, having 1 been admitted to ball by Justice : Woodward. Subsequently, on De? cember 2ti. Hummel was rcarreslcd I on a warrant Issued by District At? torney Jerome and nga'.n was set t free on ti writ of habeas corpus ob? tained by John It. Stanchfield. A certificate of reasonable doiibt ; was granted to Hummel last January : by Justice John Woodward, of the I Appellate Division in Urooklyn. J HUmmel had been convicted and sen I fenced to one year's Imprisonment and a fine of $r>un several weeks he tore that. He was admitted to bull when Justice Woodward granted him tt stay of execution. 'MMldltlg the ar? gument for the certificate of reason? able doubt. The certificate was granted on two grounds?because of the lack of certain corroborative evidence sworn to by Dodge, und on account of the. manner In which the trial Judge' charged the jury. Justice Woodward held that Justice Rogers had erroil In his charge as to corrohoration of evidence, earning "dangerously near" usurping the prerogative of the jury to decide as lo the facts In Hie case.
