THE following is from the Philadelphia
Record;
"From tho moment that Dickson, u petty
Republican leader In Washington, was made
foreman Of the Star-Route jury most OF those
who knew the man gave up all expectation OF
conviction, no matter what might be the weight
Of the evidence"
We have heretofore called attention to
the peculiar and often striking absurGity OF
the Philadelphia Reco|'s lying. 1t is
really astonishing tliat a paper which lies
as regularly as the Record does all the time
can manage to crowd so much faisehood
into so few lines as it does occasionally.
The Record is owned and presumably
"edited " by fellow of the name of Bill
Singerly, and pretends to be " independent
with Democratic leanings"
Under such circumstances one would
think that it must know that William
Dickson is anything but "a petty Republi-
can leader in Washington" Mr.. Dickson
is originally from Philadelphia. He has
resided in Washington since 1862, but has
always kept himself more or less closely
connected with the management of the
Democratic party in Philadelphia-tra train
ing, by the way, in what is known as the
Samrandall wing of the organization. In
the last Democratic convention, at Cincin-
natl, he was an honorary delegate from the
District of Columbia, and was active in the
attempted flank movement to nominate
Mr. Randall. Now, there is reason to be-
lieve that Bill Singerly knew all these
things. He was at Cincinnati himself in
the role Of striker" for the anti-Randall
or Wallace faction Of Pennsylvania Demo.
Gratis, and knew as well as we did or any
body else who was there, that Dickson was
delegate from this District, and an active
operator in the Pennsylvania councils.
1t is therefore to be presumed that when
Bill singerly published the statement
above quoted, that Mr.. Dickson was "a
petty Republican leader" he knew riat
he was lying; that he lied delibe-
rately, for the purpose Of creating
an unjust impression among his read
ers, and that he lied with malice prepense
to weaken or attempt to weaken the force
of Mr.. Dickson's recent disclosures.
What is to be done with such journalism
as that9 To follow it up and point out ita
falsehoods is too much for the brevity OF
life. There seems to be really no remedy
Doubtless the Almighty had some purpose
in creating Bin Singerlys, and allowing
them to control newspapers, but it GER
tainly Is an inscrutable one.

UNLESS SOMETHING BE DONE to protect
the machinery of justice, it will soon be
impossible to get any citizen who has
reputation--public or private-to main
tain, to serve ON a jury in this District.
We have been struck with the fate of the
members Of the late Star-Route jury, and
particularly that of Mr.. Holmead. This
gentleman is native of the District and
owns farm Just outside of the city limits.
He is probably between thirty.hve and forty
years of age, and is as well known as any
man in the District not in public position.
His general reputation, both in business
capacity and in social relations, is of the
very highest order. In Short there IS no
citizen of the District Of Columbia of any
rank in life whose name stands higher or
commands more universal respect than
does that of William Holmead.
But in an evil hour he was drawn to
serve on jury to try a case that had al
ready been tried by the newspapers a case
out of which self.seekiug political scoun.
drels expected to make reputation for
themselves by destroying the regulations of
better men. Sitting for nearly three
months on this trial Mr.. Holmead finally
voted to acquit some Of the defendants. In
an instant his reputation that had grown
up with him from boyhood in this COM
munity was being torn to pieces by the
wolves who infest alike the Department of
Justice under the guise of Especial agents"
and Newspaper Row in the mask of special
correspondents" He is being advertised
to the country and to the world rs cor.
rupt, venal and perjured man. The mild
est thing that the miscreants we have
indicated can find to say about him is that
he "sold out to the defense OF course to
those who know him personally
such statement rcfutes itself
and is harmless. But that is
not the mischief. The mischief consists in
the fact that there is no protection for the
reputation of any man who consents to per-
form the always irksome duty ofa juror in
cases that command particular publia at
tention. Whether the insinuations of Mer-
rick or the howl of the newspaper cores
pondents based upon them can actually
damage a mans character or not is not tho
question. They surely can annoy the per-
sonal sense and feelings Of the individual,
and that itself is severe penalty. We
would like to see the question tested
whether or not an unoflending private citi-
zen can be compelled to serve on jury in
the face of such disagreeable possibilities.

The following editorial remarks by

in some particulars. presents sufficient
facts touching the State of Nevada, to
demonstrate the criminal folly OF in
vesting n Territory with the burden.
some dignity Of State, before it is in
anywise prepared to pack the load:
Just at present oil the States and Ter
ritories OF the Union are increasing in
population and wealth with the single
exception Of Nevada. Even Alaska is
making ssme progress. while Nevada is
at a stands,ill, and her condition and
prospects Indicate retrogression rather
than progression. Counting Chinese
aud Indians, the census OF last year
could only make out population Of
62,2GG. The silver mines, which st-
tracted nearly all the population, white
aud Chinese, are played oct. They have
been worked st an actual loss for sew
eral years past. The soil is stnril, un-
productive and Improbable. Congress
should l.arn q lesson from the admis.
sion Of Nevada. which is ccnfessedly
nothing more than @ 'rotten.borough
politically. and hesitate before making
any more States for political purposes"
While it is not true that our mines are

gression rather than progression" That

Avenged Her oi.honor.

The Press dispatches, a few days ago,
announced the killing of one Barney
Elliott. at Dodge City, Kansas. by Ed
ward L. Hardesty, for the crime OF out.
raging the latter's wife. A subsequent
dispatch, referring to TIE matter, claim
ed that tho killing was wholely unpro-
voked. E. F. Hardesty being a nephew
OF Z. p. Hardosty Of Wells. an old
time and prominent citizen OF this
county. gives a certain degree OF local
interest to the affair. aud for the pur-
pose Of showing to our readers how the
c'atter is regarded by tho people OF the
country in which the killing occurred,
We publish the following from the Kan
sns City Times of December 22ud:
"Our city and citizens have been
greatly excited over the killing on yes
terday of one Barney Elliott at Cool.
idge by Edward +. Hardesty, q former
attorney Of our city, well-known aud
universally liked. Hardesty Is son
Of Johu /. Hardesty, OF the famous cat
tle firm Of Hardesty Bros. Tho cir
cumstances are follows: Elliott was a
hired man OF Hardesty's. knowing
that Hardes;y would not return till
late, and being OF about the same size,
and complexion; hs left his own room
at about IL o'clock, entered the cham
Der Of Mrs. Hardesty, who is quite
young and handsome and married but
about two years. Elliott then crawled
into bed, stimulating the voice OF Har-
desty. Hardesty's wife thought il her
husband. The mistake being soon dis
covered the villain left.
On his arrival home. Hardesty was
informed Of the facts, his wife being in
hyst rics. His only pistol being in
charge OF Elliott, he repaired to town,
one.half nile distant. procured two
colts, 10 caliber. and coming back found
Elliott in the stable. He immediately
charged him with the offsuse. Elliott
not denying it, he said: Il will have to
kill you; you cannot live in the Same
world with me- He then fred eleven
shots, hitting Elliott six times. He uf
course fell dead, when Hnrdesty in his
fary beat him with his revolver. i:jur-
ing his own hands severely. The action
of Hardesty is universally approved.
He is arrested for murder in the second
degree, but out on his own tecogniz.
Gnee. though his uncle. r. J. Hsrdosty,
offered 100000 as security. His trial
comes OFF in ten days"
