TRIAL BY JURY.
Its Uncertainty Forcibly Illustrated in q
Cleveland Libel Case.

Its Uncertainty Foroibly Illustrated in q
Cleveland Libel Case.
CLEVELAND, Oct. 24.-The case of the State
of Ohio against E. W. Scripps. publisher of a
penny paper in this city, for publishing a
libel rejecting on the moral character of Mr..
Edwin Cowles, editor of the Leader, was on
trial for several days before Judge Tilden. The
prosecuting witness put in overwhelming tes-
timony proving the falsely of the libelous
charge, and the defense offered no testimony,
yet to the surprise of members OF the bar and
Ill conversant with the case the jury returned
verdict of acquitting of defendant The YER
dict was considered such gross outrage that
Judge Tilden before whom the case was tried
sent to Mr.. Cowles the following letter:
CLEVELAND, o., Oct. 22.-Mr. Edwin
Cowles, Ny Dear Sir:-I feel 1t as due to you
for me to say that the verdict rendered by the
jury in the libel case between you and Mr..
Scripps, tried before me, was contrary to the
law as laid down, and the evidence given in
case. The testimony was overwhelmingly in
your favor, and the defense offered no evil
dence whatever to justify the publication of
this article in question. The testimony showed
conclusively that there was not the least
foundation in any respect whatever for making
the charge rejecting on you.
Yours very respectfully,
D. r. TILDeN.

Held, That this right of action is given for
the benefit of the widow and next of kin upon
the theory that they have a pecuniary interest
in the life of the diseased, and the object of the
statute is to compensate them for their loss
caused by his death, and if their are neither
widow nor next of kin, there can be no recov
cry because there are no persons entitled to
compensation under the statute.
Therefore it is necessary in such an action
that the complaint alleges that the diseased

JUDGE KEY, ex-Postmaster General, IS
said to have centre confidence in the
honesty of Tyner and Brady" Judge
Key would do well to keep quiet. He
was an unsophisticated old granny and
was used like putty by the whole postal
route ring. 1t was during his term of
office that the star routes grew and flour
ished at their greatest, and had he re-
NAMED in Office they probably never
would have been exposed.

ASHAMEFUL EVIL.

To persons ordinarily familiar with
public affairs, and particularly those
having some knowledge of the methods
in vogue at Washington, it is not sur
prising that the government printing
office is shown to be an extensive assigna-
ton house. This is more or less the case
with all the departments where females
are employed. Scandals like that just
now involving the printing office have
from time to time burst forth, but it is
well enough known that the half nor
tenth of the truth has ever been made
public. 1t is reasonable to suppose that
by far the greater part of the evil in this
respect has been kept concealed. How
great it really is can only be imagined
from what has occasionally leaked out.
The entire eradication of this gross Of
tense is obviously to be brought about in
only one way, namely, by the exclusion
of females from the government service
In many instances this would work
greylous hardship. even absolute inius-
tice, to really worthy women; for large
number, probably decided majority, of
the woman engaged in the various pub
lie offices are pure and honest, and it
seems too great wrong to them to visit
upon their heads the sins of their way
ward sisters. So the matter stands, and
so it has stood for years. The problem is
not new. All that can be done is to fer
ret out the guilty individuals and dismiss
them. This can be done if the heads of
the departments set themselves about it
earnestly and vigorously. When the
heads are themselves culpable, as is too
often the case, nothing can be done and
nothing will be.

THE SENATE.

The leading feature in the senate yesterday
was the continuation of the bond debate. A
vote was taken for United States senator, but
that was settled by the caucus last week, and
it was consequently merely machine work to
make the record for Window. Debate was
finally closed on the bond question, and the
bill recommended to pass by % to 8.

Pension Claims With More Than One
Specification.

Soon after Col. Dudley began to exercise the
duties of commissioner of pensions, ruling
was made to the effect that in cases where a
person was prosecuting claim for pension,
with two or more specifications in his de-
mand, any one could be adjudicated without
producing the other. Yesterday Adiutant
General Van Ceve received two notices from
the pension bureau for transmission to claim
ants in this state, in whose cases it is proposed
to apply this principle. In one
case the claimant asks for
pension on account of gun
shot wound received in battle and also on ac-
count of rheumatism contracted in the service
The other is on account of gunshot wound
and varIcose veins In both cases the com
missioner says the bureau is prepared to ad
Indicate the claim for the gunshot wounds,
leaving the other specifications to be further
considered, if the applicants shall so elect
The advantage resulting to applicants having
more than one cause upon which to base
claim for pension, one clearly defined and easv
to be established, and the other the opposite
is very apparent, and when opportunity is
rtfe ed it Is safe to say the ruling of the
commissioner will be awaited of

Killed His Father.

WHEELING, w. Va, Oct. M.-Gen. Jas.
Wier, of st. Cairville, Ohio, who was struck
by his son James, last Saturday night, on
being refused favor, the details of which
were telegraphed yesterday, died from the eff
fects of the blow early this morning. The
victim of this tragedy, was born in 1903, in
Washington county, Pennsylvania. For forty
years he practiced law at the bar of Belmont
county. In former years he was an active
and enterprising citizen, but lately the mfr
mites of age, necessltated his withdrawal
from active life. He served three terms in the
OHIO legislature as Wing. A few years ago
his family was among the foremost in the
community in which he lived.

Assassination in Missouri.

ST. LOUIS, Oct. A.-Jamcs F. Finney, a
prominent and wealthy farmer living near
Waverly, fifteen mics from st. Joe, Missouri,
was assassinated Saturday night. Deceased
and wife were setting at the table eating sup
per and chatting, when sudden discharge was
heard and Finney tumbled over on the floor
and died in few minutes without speaking a
word. Eleven No. Q buck shot were found
in a wound in the back of his head and shot
lodged in his shoulders. Mrs. Finney was set
ting directly opposite with a child in her
arms. Finney was only lately married to
former servant, of whose child he was the
father. The affair is clouded in mystery.
