Four little children, three boys and one girl, hare vanished in Chicago and during 'hr last few days, and, after wosking upon other theories, the ponce are at last rrincitniij rnnccuiug that the little ones mar hare been kid naped. The heartbroken parentsof the children can account for their- disap pearance lit bo other way. While it may be true in some instances that "where there Is life there is hope" pet it is within the bound of reason to assume in this case that proof of the death of the children would be a wel come-relief to the-distracted fathers and Kidna ping is one of the rrtost atrocious of crimes. It is. a blow crueler to pa rents than would be the murder of their offspring', horrible as that may be to contemplate; for the suspense involved in kidnaping bring with it an unending anxiety mat is worse than the grier that follows death.

There is no torture eon- Ahan that which gnaws upon the heart of the mother who has the feeling that the child to whom all the tendrils of tier lore are clinging is being trained by the depraved, ia the most vicious of schools, beyond her reach, beyond her Help. A short time ago. in the case of little" Auiaa won, tne convicted kitfaaoers. the liirmingha may were sentenced to long tnnt in the penitentiary. It is a ques- a kiivui irc.

i. llr, Caullleld' Plan to Pack the Henry S. Caul field of St. Kepublican Kepresentative 1 i Congress of the Elerenf district of inssouri. plainly 7dWsa tinned rwitbi the Supreme court of the United States; He ha introduced two bilts forit ret-' ormation.

to which the New York Sun call deserved publie attention. Tbeftev bills provide for the oiT full pay, of Justices of the Supreme court and of Judges of other federal courts under certain conditions. They agree with the present law in requiring the attainment of the age of 70 wjth at least ten years' service. They dd two peculiar and tdgnificant provisions, as follows: 1. Provided, however, that he realgna MMa ninety days after ha has served tern years sod attained the axe of 7a J.

Provided that he ihall his efflca Within nJaetr days after the first day that he shall become entitled to resign 01 pay ander thia art The present law nrovides that a 1A. eral Judge MAY retire on full pay after having attained the age of 70 and served ten years. The first Caulfleld bill provides that a ostoral I Iff CT ty days after having attained the age of 70 with ten yexars service or forfeit his retiring pay. The second Caulficld bill provides that the Judges who have Herved ten years and are 70 years old MUST resign within ninety days after its approval by the President or forfeit retiring pay. The first bill holds a club over those Judges who have yet to reach the age of 70.

The second clubs off the bench within ninety days after its approval those Judges who have attained the age of 70. In view of the manifest and rebellious discontent of Mr. Samuel Gompers and his political backers with recent decisions of the Supreme court, it becomes of interest to consider what would be" the effect on that body of the Caulfleld and especially of the second, if enacted. It would require the retirement within ninety days, nnder penalty ol forfeiture of pension, of the following: -Chief tint ice Melville W. Fuller; born, 1833; asootnted.

1SSS. Jo-tU-e John M. Harlan; born, 1823; appointed. 1877. David J.

Brewer; bora, 1837; appointed, 1889. Justice liufus W. Peckham, born or. 8, 183S, appointed 1895, wonld have to resign within ninety days after 8, or lose his pension. Four vacancies on the Supreme bench within a year! What a luscious prospect is opened by the propowals of the Hon.

Henry S. Caulfleld for the reformation of the Snprtme' court! Of course, the Caulfleld bills will not pass. They will probably never get out oT the judiciary committee of the House-, of which Mr, Caulfieldis a junior mem-htrr, From the danger of having the way 'openetl for a packing of the Supreme court we are at present safe. Tbe" making of such proposals the fact that any American Congressman should attempt such infamy reminds its by what dangers our liberties are threatened. Evidently- Mr.

Caulfleld detires'a Supreme court that will be entirely satisfactory to Mr. Gompers. The danger will be escaped, thanks to the fact that the 'American people have as Speaker of their House of an American "patriot to whom in his seventy-third has come-a great opportunity to stand fast for his country, its Constitution, and its liberties, and who stands fast Who stands fast! The End of "Reformer- Lilley. The t-pecial committee of the House appointed at the request of Congressman George L- Lilley of Connecticut to investigate his charges of corruption in the matter of submarine boat appropriations made Its report on It occupied four hours in reading and covered every detail of the tranaactions referred to and relating to the persona connected with them. Its twenty-three conclusions may be summed up under a few general heads.

That Mr. Lilley acted in bad faith in making his charges. That be had no justification for any of them. That he knew some of them to be' false. That nor member of the House, officer Of the navy, or representative of the pre, had been bribed or corrupted, as alleged by Mr.

Lilley. That Mr. Lilley bad allowed himself to be made the tool of a commercial warfare upon a competing builder of submarines, and that his real object was to defeat any submarine legislation unless the concern he favored conld make money out of it. The report was adopted and the conclusions of he committee were sustained by a vote of 137 to 82. The rote appears to- hare been entirely nonpartisan.

Ia Mr. Williams, the) Democratic leader of the House, openly favored the expulsion of Lilley. Some, of the Connecticut delegation 'voted against the report, on the ground that none who "knew! Mr. Lilley believed he had acted in bad faith. Apparently his colleagues of his own state dermed it a kindness to brand Mr.

Lilley as a fool outright in order to save him from the possible imputation of being a knave. Such ia the end iu "public life of the Hon. George L. Lilley. an apostle, and a victim, of 10 cent magazine "reform." For when we really think about ft we see.

so easily to what influences Mr. Lilley owed the delusions which have brought about his troubles. A small man of shallow and narrow 1 mind and owing his political promotion A A 1 to tne iici ma wealth, apparently not acquired by his-own exertions, gave him leisure to attend to details and become a sort of factotum of them in state poll tics, and of a nervous and anxious temperament, he had evidently swallowed whole tne fundamental theory on which he whole literary activity of reform by "exposure" jTbis theoryis, that'v every man who does not agree with you, or whVopi ptae -anyo refrm" project' n' wh'icl yrm tiappeirto criticaPor the vjrtue. your "reform" ben. of the moment, mut be "Bough 1 1 Ifcnight 5 Bought!"

He- branded his own confessions, a fool uttering foolish slander. And so there ts an end of George L. Lilley, Kepre sentative at largs in Congress from Connecticut. The good that may come out of it all is not especially that the honesty in general of American Congressmen has been "vindicated. Xo person of sense thought a vindication necessary.

It is rather that the folly and the fate of Lilley may be an example and a warning to other' rattlepates. No Anti-Injunction Law Just Now. The adjournment of the House Repub lican caucus without action on the sub ject probably puts an end to any pros pect of anti-injunction Iegis.atiqn at this session of Congress. It is prob ably much better so. Wben a particu lar measure is declared on one side to be something that we cannot go on liv ing without, and on tne other some thing that we cannot 'live with, the course of statesmanship is to let the matter rest as it is.

Wben put to the test of cold statistics the whole anti-injunction agitation ap pears to be very much of a tempest in a The record shows that dur ing the last five years only 328 injunctions' have been issued. Of these, but twenty were in labor cases and five of the twenty were issued after notice and hearing. Of coarse, if it be assumed that all the fifteen were issued improperly and without due respect for all the equities involved there were just fifteen' too many. 1 hat, however, is an assump tion whose absurdity is self-evident. It should be recognized, however, that there is the popular resentment, of what has seemed at times an abuse of judicial power more than the anger of the men or organizations that found their desires thus thwarted.

As Frederic J. Stimson well says in bis recent monumental work on The Law of the Federal and State Th common law eeunde In damages. Ia early times It waa enforced, ctvil and criminal, only by 'money penalty; or by persoaa! ra-dreas or vengeance. The sotioa of compelling a freeman to do something, or to abstala from doing something, was foreign to Anglo-Saxon Ideas of liberty. A freeman was lord ot his own acta, liable only for tho coneeqaeaeen to the person In in red; later only to tho crows, it a criminal act.

or to tho Individual injured. If a private wrong. Eves wben tho Judgment of tho court want against him. tho defendant waa never compelled to do thing, or van, ia ordinary rases, to man restitution, aa fat the Oriental ay stain of juatk-a. Thia principle must never be loot 'sight of, for explains many things both la local hlstorr sod la popalar prejudice.

Against a -legal method not their own not" of the common or people'a law representing their cststoma and worked out from their experience against law TUB IffTDJl MAT S3, 1CC3. assuming to come from abova them. the free. peoples-English -speaking man bare contended for. a -thousand years.

Against such law they have a hereditary resentment They recognise ita necessity at times, just as they recognise mil itary-necessity. But they want aa little of it aa possible, and" alway a are In- auncttveiy watcnfui and jealous ot Its use. Therefore is it the part of statesmanship to make the least possible use of extraordinary methods, even for preserving the publie pesce or preventing manifest and irreparable Injuries to life or property. However, the remedy is obviously not by the drastic processes of legislation, or by taking away from the courts pow ers which, though they should be used rarely and with great caution, are in dispensable in great emergencies. It is rather that the people should be watchful of executive power, of which the injunction Is realy an exer cise, that judges should be more ac curately learned than some are in con stitutional principles, and that govern ment should ever remember that it has to deal with a people knowing all their rights and resolute to maintain them.

A New Departure in Railroad Accidents. The case of Balsar Fait, a barber of Torrington, when it comes to be known snd understood and sppreciated throughout the length and breadth of this up-to-date land, will work, in all probability, some important changes not only in the method of handling per sonal injury cases, but in the treatmen of weak stomachs and the upbuilding of poor appetites. Mr. Fait, it sppears, was recently a passenger on board a Hew York. New Haven dc Hartford train, Which met with an accident In whicb Mr.

Fait alleges he suffered serious Injuries. He is now seeking reparation in a damage suit against the company. In bis complaint he makes no demand for compensation based upon ordinary Injuries. He does not say that a limb or a rib was broken, that he suffered any. braises or disfigurements or that his physician has hinted at internal in juries which may forever prevent him from accepting an engagement with a professional ball Nothing of this kind.

What he alleges is that be cause of the accident he has developed an extraordinary appetite for food and It is difficult to- so where this new departure wfll lead us. Not many days shall elapse, it is safe to say. before we may be called upon to read something like this: William Blennerhaaeot Perkins, aged 4s. caned from a sew patent food aanJtariam is Michigan a few sights ago aad made hta way to Sand villa, where ha bearded tho Chicago Splaacl Flyer on tho Truckdale A Lake Michigan rail road.

JEREMIAH JONES. It will be seen from the little we hsve written on this subject that all people are not constituted alike.

With the coming of more settled weather Bast and West, the opportunities for the study of natural history are enlarged and increased, and intelligent observers in all partaof the country are taking notes and sending in to the news papers the details of those incidents which appeal to them as being worthy of publicity.

As, for exsmple, the following: 1 CLEAR LAKE, lows. May 20. A pet water spaniel belonging to a local nahorman awam out Into tho lake, carrying arouad Its seek Ash line, with spoon hook attached, with which he had been tied. When ho Anally swam back to shore a One gvo pound pike waa on tho hook, and ho proudly dragged It to his master. And the following: BETHLEHEM, May SO.

We can sesreely think of snytbing just at present that contributes more to the elevation of human- thought above a merely selfish plsne than the study of the manners, habits, snd characteristics of oujr dumb animals, aa revealed to us by those, who love nature purely and simply for its own sake.

True, the accuracy and even tha motives of these observers hare been questioned1 at times, and we can all recall how the points involved in the controversy between two of our most eminent savants, "Oom John" Burroughs and the Rev. Dr. Long, came very near precipitating a new and vital but rather dangerous political issue. Yet, when all Is said, there are few of ns who are not deeply interested in items such as the foregoing, and at ill fewer of Us who, during the glorious seasons at hand and approaching, will not be pleased now and then to read something like thia: rinBCsa, MJch.
