city that Ex-Governor Cooke was a journalist
In Ohio before he became a banker In Wash

quainted with the work that he did and the
record that he made In his earlier profession.
1t is plainly told by the Cincinnati Gazette as

jay Cooke, Pitt Cooke and Henry D. Cooke
are sons Of the late Hon. Eleutheros Cooke, OF

The WalWorth Trial.

The trial of young Walworth for the murder
of his father is progressing rapidly and it will
not be many days till it is closed by the verdict
of the jury. Judge Davis deprecated in ad-
vance any discussion of the merits of the case
by the newspapers during the progress of the
trial, and we mean to refrain from any express
sion Of opinion upon the guilt or innocence of
the prisoner. This is question which may
safely be left to the jury, whose province it is
to determine it, and from the speedy manner
in which the jury was chosen we are led to
anticipate q trial conducted solely according
to rules of law and of evidence. In this SIM
pie fact that only day was consumed in the
selection of the jury we see evidences of bet
ter condition of public morality and fewer
appearances of the sensationalism which often
makes the proceedings in our Courts melo-
dramatic performances. We may hope from
all this and from the high character of the
Court and the counsel that this case at least
will be determined solely by the law and the evil
dence. But it may not be ill-timed to addressa
few words of admonition to those who are re-
sponsible for the manner of conducting the
trial The people expect that case so aus
piciously begun shall be ended in q way worthy
of the beginning. This is solemn trial
for murder-the trial of q young man, the
member of a distinguished family for the
murder of his father. Whatever may be its
surroundings, it is, after all, like any other
case Of the same kind. Social position makes
and can make no difference so far as the accused
is concerned, and he must stand or fall by his
own act, even as the humblest and most
wretched youth in the State would be required
to stand or fall. The only question for the
minds of the jury-and the Court must see to
it that it is the only question presented to
them-is whether this young man is guilty or
not guilty of murder according to the terms
of the statute. More than this need not be
said but this much, at least is required, for
the people are closely following the course of
the trial to see that justice is done and the
law faithfully administered. 1t is terrible
case view it as we may, and we are glad it is
to be so quickly determined.
