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.

His Grace tho Arcbbishop of Caater

and any-uumber of lonls faror lt. The
bill bears tho titla of the "Authrized

simplo majority of gbveruroent votcrs
aro to have powar to brlug altout such a
chango. Iu all sectious whero proliibl

thirds of all the votcrs. Tan qualifled
peraons may form a company whose
articles of associatiou aro to be approvcd
by tho local board of trade and oue-thl'-d

nominated by tho local authority which
is also to appoint ono of tho two auditors.

Eosed to astablish reading rooms, coileo

Tho Duko of W'esbninistor, in aspoech
favoriug the bill, declared that tho
measuro was eatitlod to popular support,
bccausc, in tho tlrit place, 'peoplo wero
not to bo deprived of the drink which ao
many thought they ought to have," and
second "what should rocommeud it to

"THE BLOOD IS THE LIFE,"
Uuns tho old saying, and everything that
erer rnakes part of any orjan of tho
body tnuht reaoh its plaoa thorein
through the blood. Therefore, if the
blood is iiuulittd aad kept in good condi
tiou by tho uso of Uood's Sarsaparilla, it
neceijsarily follows that the benetlt of
tho tuudicine is itnpurted 'to very organ
of tho body. Can anything be siaaplor
than the nlethod by which this excelient
raedicine givos good health to all who
will try it fairly and patioutly?
WHAT 13 A WIFE?
Tho pretty school teachor, for a littlo
divertibemcut, aud askcd lior class for
tho best original difinition of "wifo,"
and the boy in the coruur had promptly
reaponded, "A rib."
Sho looked at him reproachfully, and
nodded to the boy with drsamy oyes,
who soemed auxious to say somctuing.
"Man's guidlng star and guardian
angel," he said, in respouso to the nod.
"A helptneut," pnt in a little ilaxon
haired gul.
"Ono wbo soothes mau in advcrsity,"
suggestcd a domura littlo girl.
"And ipeuda his monoy when bo's

cornor.
Thero was a lull', and tho prstty dark
oyed girl said alowly:
"A wifu is the envy of spintors;"
"Ono who makes a mau hustlo," was
the noxt susgestion.
"And keops him from making a foul
of himself," putin another ginl.
"Somcone tor a man to iind fault wilii
when things go wrong," said asorrowful
littlo maiden.
"Stop right thoro," said tho protty
school teachor. "That's the beit uellui
tion." Later the sorro wf nl littlo maiden sidled
up to her, and asked :
"Aren't you soing to minry thathand
some man who calls for you uea ly every

"Ycs dear," she replind, "but with us

A MOUNTAIN OF SILVTJR METAL.
Tho bar silvcr now stored i the Uulted
States Mint at Philadelphia amounts to
110,000,000 ounees, the largest quantity
erer dopositcd in ono placo ia this coun
try. This quantity is equal to 0,250,000
pounds avofrdupois or3,125 tons. Load
ed upon wagous carryiug ono ton eaoh,
and allowing forty fect for each tcam
and Tohicle, this mass of metal would
mako a proccssion over twenty miles
long. Tho quantity ia so great that a
new atcel lincd vault,u5 feet long, 8 feot
wide and 10 feet deop, has bsen built to
accoramodato a portion ot it. Pilcd full
from floorto ceiling, howpvar, this new
addition holds only 20,000,000 ouncos.
As silver bullion is being poured into
the Pliilabclphla Mint at tho rato of
.1,800,000 ounces a month, it will bo only
flvo or nix months when another new
vault mnst be built unlcss the purchase
of tho white metal is stoppad.

FROM THE "GARDEN C1TY."
Cuicaqo, March 21st, 1S03.
To the Edltor of the Iianner.Dnxn
Sut: Chlef Allison directs a printad cir
cular to American naanufacturers.
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

and has mado arrangements with Stipor

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

GOOD ROADS A NECESSITY.
Col. 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

tarv gamo of chess. Promptod by cur
iusity he reiucd iu his roule, and after a
while opened conversatiou by asking who
was tho winner.
The plavcr was apparently too deepl y
intart'sled to noticofhim for a few mo
mcnts, then arising with oridcnt disgust
Le replied, "I lost."
"Vrlio wonV"
"Allah."
"Allah? How much did you lose?"
askcd tho venorablo Turk, in surprise.
"Twonty piasters."
"And how do pay Allah?" ho contiu-

Thereupon tho Turk oxplaincd that it
was his daily custom to play a gamo of
chess on that socluded spot with Allah
as opponent, ho aiono being wortny to
to take his losiugs, and that Allah at rcg
ular intervals sont an oaiissary in tho
form of somo travoler to aollect tho
bounty duo him. In this instauce it was
uudoubtodly the persou boforo him, aud
accordingly ho haudcd ovor his purso
contiining 100 piasters, tho losiugs of

Returning after au iuterval of flvo days

"I won to day," waa the roply.
"How much did you win?"
"Yoasec," was tho explanatiou, "Al
lah is a much better player thau I. When
I lose, it coata me 20 piasters; when I
win, I get 1000 piastors, and Allah al
ways promptly sends au omissary tj pay
his debts. Pay up, old mau."
