THE BENNINGTON BANNER, FRIDAY, MARCH 31, 1893. SENTIMENT VERSUS JUSTICE. A case that ba attpacted a great deal of attention for tlta past jear and," moro especially, durins the last two montUs, is tliat of tho convitted wifo murdorer, Carlylo W. Harris, of New York. aid there is a stronc probability that a pub lic tscntimcnt may bo created in his be lialf BufBcicnt t procure a commutatiou of his sentence to imprisonment for a longeror shorter term, from GoTernor Flower. Harris marricd a young ad accora plishod girl while sbo was still attcnding Bcliool, aud persuadcd hcr to keep the marriage sccrot, on tho usual pretense that the announconiont of it would somo how interfeie with his prospcctivo ad Tancoment in his carcer, and would not meet tho approyal of his friends and family. lt waa shown, conclusiTely, at tho trial, that ho repeatedly deceived his Younj; wife and her mother, that he was mtending and expecting to bo marriod to another lady of wealth and soqial poaition, if he could rid himself of tho lscumbrance of his present wife, aud was hcartless and cruel in his treatment of tho youug aud trusting woman who loved and marricd him. The wifo diad suddenly and nayster iously, at the house whcre she was at tending school, and was buried without any aeknowledgmant, on ths part of Harris, of his relationship to hsr. Sub sequently snspiclons wero arouscd,. an investigation was rnade, the ovidqnco of the marriago was preionted, it was proreu thathar death was due to an oyordoso of morphine and that tho pro scription for tho pills, which wore tho cause of her death, was written and given to bw by Harris. Thero wero many othor incideats teuding toconuect Hanis with the dsath of his wife, all of thera, of cottrso, largely circumstantial, but all Bhowmg the falsity of his owu professions of innocenco. Harris was defonded by ono of tho ablest crimlnal lawyers of tlie country, befoio a jitdge of uuimpoacbablo charac tor aud abilitv, and was found guilty of murder in tho tirst degrce, by a jury of at lcast arerage iutelligenco andfairness. Siuce his conviction his oouusel has einplvred ovorj possibla legal mcans to BecMi'ua rotbrs.U of th verdiet, but tho justiee of it, on the ovideuco prcsontod, lias been aQirmed by tho soTeral Courts of Review. Failiag in theso efforts his lawjurs aptriied for a new trial, on the grouiul of newly discoyered evidonco, and tlmir application waa given au cx hauliTB examiuation by Recorder Smythe, who doclmed to grant it. Tha grouud of the application appears to bo based upon tho uriduucB, largely hear say, that the wife waa addicted to the uso of ubium, and that her death was theiesultof her owu carelessnsss, or worie. During the pondeucy of thesa pro cuediugs, Ilarris has been a frequent con; tributor to the daily and Sunday papors of New York, upon diffurent aubjects, and ha, also, mado iopeatcd and eto phallc prutestations of his innoccncu, and appeaU to publio help and sympathy. It would be cruelly unjust to judgo af tbejwords or actions of a raan standing, as does Harris, under tho shadow of gallows, by ordlnary standards, but few cau have road his letters, eithcr withrof erenco to his own caHo, or upon other aubjects, without some feoliug of dis trust as to his honesty and sinceritr. Theluvlng, derotod and broken-heart-ed mother of tho convicted murdorer, has exhausted all her own means and all tho inlluonce sho could exert in bchalf of her son, of wheao entire iunscence sho is fully convinccd, and her prcsent ap lieals for holp in prevcnting tho oxccu tiou of thu sentence upon lior boy are full of pathos. An appcal is to bo mado by Harris' couiisol to Goveruor Flower for exccu tire clemoucy, and thia appcal is to be reinfoiced by a monstor potition in that bchalf. It is suggcstcd, also, that a masa meetiiiK bo held to protsst against the exeeution of Ilarris, in whicii prool nent clergymen and humantalrians aio to participate. It is, of eourso, inflnitoly to be pre fcrred that this man should not sulfer the extremo penalty of the law. if there is any leasouable doubt as to iiis guilt, but sympathy for him, and pity for his unhappy mother, should not entirely eiTace or take tho place of tho claima of justiee in bshalf of tho loring, trusting Echool girl whoto life was taken to servo his seliish purpose, acd tho mother of tho rnmdered girl has equal claims upon human sympathy. Noitlier should tho opinion of a thou eand, or ten thousand, raen and womea, who have, at best, but the most supcrfi cial knowledue of the case, eutwcigli the judgement of tho judges and juy wlio lieuid tho ciitiio eviduncc, or who havs, since the trial, given tho tcstimony im partial examination. Tho assertions of Harris that tho Dis trict Attornsy who prosecuted tho case, and the Judge who tried it, wero inilu enced by a desire for his life, is unworthy a momcnt's cousidcration. It maj be taken for grantcd that tli' propost'd'betition will ho largely signed, and that the meetiug, if held, will be fully attended. Thero is a certain amountof tsaudlin sentimcntality always at the servicc of a convicted murderer, And the more cowardly his crime, the moro nurnurous the expressions of this unraerited and wholly unworthy sym pathy. It is far easicr to sccure moncy to dcfend a murderer than to defend tho just rights of his victim, and so it re auires little effort to obtain signatarcs to an application for pardon, while the inuoctnt sufferers lie in unmarked graves. But none tho less, tho dcmand of jus tiee ihould not be wholly lost sight of in tho outpouring of maudlia sympatby. St. Albans Messenger. TREBLE AND BASS.

Exhibitora who intend to make dis plays in the Manufacturers' building ro ceived notice from Chiof Allison, a few days ago, t hurry up and have the ox hibits all in by May 1st Tho buitding is vast and the exhibits aro correspond ingly great. Exhibitors in tho Manufac turers' dopartment, to wbom permits have been issued, aro expectcd to at onco tako posscsslon of tho space as signcd to them, and procced without delay with tho platforms and onclusures; and to propare far tho installatiou of theif exhibits. Tho chief of tho dopart ment and his asslstants will lend all pos Bible aid for tho completion of the work, so that ovorything may be in.readiness for tfio opening on May 1st. Wo have a groat work to perform, and by united effort only, hopo for ultimato succcss. Thero aro forty-six acres of floor spaco to be fllled in thia building (a good many farmers hero in tho West feel proud of a 40-acre farm), aud the gigantic task can roadily be accomplished, provided oxhib ita aro not held baek until tho last min uto. Chiof Allisou has his installation corps under perfect command and pro pared to hustie in oxhibits asfast as they arrive. Foroign countries have their positions and platforms well under way, but, with a fow exceptions, American oxhibitors seom disposcd to put off crcctfng plat forms and show cases until thoy aro forced to do so. Ho says unlcss thoso Amcridan oxhibitors movo moro ranidly they will flnd their spaco conflscatcu. As thoro remains only a vory short titne in which to tako ap spaco, and only until April 10th in which to instal displayi, foreigu countries will doubtless be roady by opening day, but uuless a decidad chauge is forthcoming in tho next woek, American exhibitors will suffer by com parison with oxhibitors from abroad. Treasurer Snborga haa just completod a list of tho stockholaera antitlcd to tick ets to tho Exposition under the agrce mont of 1800 aud '91.

In tho sumraer of 1890 it was do sircd to haro aa much aa possiblo of tho stock paid up in full. It was thun agreed that for overy sharo paid up beforo July lst of that year, two tickots of admission to the Exposition shou'd bo issued. Many took advantago of tho offor and in July it was docided to keep open until Novomber lst, for the bcncflt of thoso holding nnt more than tcn shares oach. Then in 1891 an oitcr waa made to issuo ono ticket for evory sharo paid in full beforo Soptomber lst. Again, asany took advauUge of tho propositioa, and certificates wero issuod showing how many free tickets tho holders wero enti tled to.

Albert A. Popo of Boston has for some time beon agitatng the subjcct and iusUting on tho nccasaity of better reads in the couutry. He has, during the past fow months, ondearorcd to do somuthing moro thau agitate, and has procured a monstur petition signed by thousands of tho citizons of tho United States, includ ing Stato officiaU, judgea, lawyers, min istera, and in factmon from overy claas and condition, asking Cougresa llrst, to found in Washington a Ruad Dopart ment, similar to the Agriculture Depart ment, for tho purboso of promotiug knowledgo in the art of constructing aud maiutaiuing roads;aud that in such de partmentprovision be mado for teachiag students te becomo skilled road cngi ueers. It was also iu tho petition that there be prorisinn for au exhibit on tho subjcct at tho Worlu'a Fair, but as tho fair will be over when Cougress again assembles, this part must, natually, be abandoned, although it wuuld luvo boeu a most valuablu addition to tho exhibit. This petition does not intcnd that there shall bo another cabiuot ofticer, nur does it intcnd that road making should bo nndcrtakcn by tho National Govcrnment. Itsimpiy coutemplatcs tho dissnminat ing of information which will tond to improvetho ceneral knowledgo of road making in tho country. That this is a inatter of no 8mj.ll lnomont, tho strong ondoraoment given tho movomcut by mcn who know whereof they speak, is amplo proof. The Messcnger haa beou committed to this movement for a long timo, and has urged its impertanco upon its rcaders times without number, aud it rcgrots that the 52nd Congress did not pass tho measuros rcrjuired to ooraply with Mr. Popo's potition. Tho rcaders of Tho Mcasengcr well knbw tho value of good roads whero they havo been con structcd, but it is a lamcntable fact that thcse picccs of good road aro by far too few, and, in many cases, this is due to a lack of knowledgo of how to mako thom any better. The farmers are fully as much intcrestcd as any one, and if they will sigu potitions and writo the Con grcssman from their district. tho result may, or at leaat should be, tho estabiish mcnt of such a dopartment as Mr. Popo asksfor.
