Folks Sentence.

POLK has received speedy justice.
His trial was begun on June -. tut IL
was not until July II that a jury
could bee obtained. In six days the
evidence was all taken, and in another
five days verdict Of guilty has been
obtained, the jury remaining out but
one night. The maximum punish
meut the law allows Imprisonment
for twenty years--and fine equal To
the amount embezzled three hundred
and sixty-six thousand dollars have
been imposed. His attorneys will
appeal, and may gain him new hear
ing; but this canDo, alter the verdict
OF public opinion, The result obtained
and obtained in the face OF most
gloomy predictions, will do much to
restore the confidence in the trial Of
such causes by jury, which the ven
diet in the star route trial did not so
much TO shake.-Netc York Herald.
The Herald should bear in mind
that in the star route.csses the defend
ants, coun 'el. judge and jury were Re
publicans and the case was tried in
accordance with what the New York
Tribune calls Northern methods. The
position was reversed in the POLK
csse; il was Democratic thief a Dem
ocratic court and jury, and these be-
lieve In the punishment of crime
wherever discovered, and il in accord
ance with Southern methods.

THE Galveston Nc,es unlinbered its
heaviest artillery for the purpose of de-
feating GEO i. FINLAy for trustee of
the public schools OF Galveston. The
result was that Mr.. FINLAY took sec
ond place in the election returns, and
Is overwhelmingly elected. This
shows that the power of the press Is
30 ent only when unbiased, fair, and
honest. A little prejudice will destroy
the influence Of the most powerful
journal In the land as soon as the

THE ousted Dallas postmaster il re-
Ported as having gone to Washington
to discover If there is any fairness or
honesty in the Republican admins
tration. The GAZETTE is not appraised
Of the length OF the term OF service, in
the ranks of the party, by Mr. Wits
SEN, bat il believes he has served long
enough 10 know that there Is neither
honesty or fairness in official appoint
ments and removals. That personal
aul party interest is the controlling
motive in making and unmaking otii-
crs. Mr.. WHIssEN probably came
into office for the reason that it was
thought his appointment would
strengthen the party in power, and
has been removed for the same reason.
His pilgrimage to Washington will be
futile and ne might have saved the
time and expense incident TO the trip
Efficiency, popularity and faithfuiness
are not considered requisites in max
/ ing appointments to office, by the
dominant party, and the aggrieved ex'
postmaster has sufficient evidence be
fore him of the fact. Even the civi
service rules cannot he invoked e
protect him. ii place was wanted
for another, and he must go. OF sucl
is the policy of the administration.

THE people of Fort Worth are ex'
hibiling IA disregard of sanitary pre-
cautions that amounts to absolute
reckiessness. With 50 much work go
ing on on the streets and sewers, turn
ing up to the sun and mir the accumu-
lated tilth and decomposcd matter OF
years, 1t would seem that ordinary
prudence would suggest the liberal use
of disinioctants, but the quantity used
is almost impercep,ib!e, With the ar
dent heat, sickness must inevitably re-
suit unless more caution is exercised.

IL is too much. Just after the defeat
of the Americans at Wimbledon we
must suffer another and a deeper
humiliation. Our young American
cavalier, who we had proudly fancied
had routed all rivals for the favor OF

the waiting Wales and the patient
husband on their own ground, backs
ipgloriously down ut the critical mo.
ment and leaves the blarsted British

Citizens, rru,uaI Relief soes.,r.

At the monthly meeting of this society on
Friday evening last, five new members were
added, and seven applications presented and
referred. The present membership is 1918,
and notwithstanding this society, like most all
other OF the Reliefs, has had quite number of
deaths lately, yet the members pay up prompt
ly and the society continues to increase in
numbers
The committee appointed at q previous
meeting to prepare a suitable expression of the
society in its loss by the death of its late la
mented president, DR.. Charles Morse, submit
ted the following which was unanimously
adopted by the board of directors and ordered
to be ongrossed upon the records:
Whereas, At ripe old age our late pres
ident, DR.. Charles Morse, has been removed
from us, into the other and higher life, we
therefore desire to express and place upon
record our appreciation of his many and long
continued services in behalf of this society,
as well as our recognition of his amiable and
estimable character.
Dr. Morse was the founder of the Portland
Citizens Mutual Relief Society in the year
1875, and largely TO his energetic end perse-
vering efforts are we indebted for its present
standing and success. He was a good citizen,
true friend, upright in all his dealings with
others, and left behind him an unspotted
name

The Twentieth Anniversary.

Yesterday was the Goth anniversary of the
Rev. Mr.. Dalton's settlement as Rector of St.
Stephens Episcopal church, and in the fore
noon he preached sermon, taking his text
from Exodus 31st and 3Sth, Twenty years
have L been with thee"
Mr.. Dalton promised that he did not propose
to have the service partake especially OF an an
niversary nature, but meant to give merely
review of the progress of the par
ish in the past twenty years. He
stated the reasons for choosing the present
site up town, instead of rebuilding on the old
site on Pearl street, to have been that it was
desired to locate where the encroachments of
trade would not be felt. On the old site ware
houses have already been built. The church
is free of debt. Mention was made of the fact
OF this being next to the First Parish the Oldest
parish in the city, having been in existence up
wards of century.
Mr.. Dalton made no allusion whatever to his
share in the prosperity of the parish. He has
by his liberal views won many friends among
the members Of other churches in this city and
has taken deep interest in matters of public
concern. His familiar Saturday lectures have
been but part of the great work he has freely
done for the public good without thought of
material reward.

HacIsmen's Licenses.

Saturday evening hearing was given in
the Aldermen's room by Mayor Deering,
Aldermen Tukesbury and Birnie, committee
on licenses, TO some 80 hsekmen in regard to
their licenses. The men claimed that an un-
Just discrimination was made: That they
were obliged to pay $3.50, others $1.25 and
still others only 81. They claim that by the
ordinances they were obliged to pay only 81
and asked that certain sum be settled upon
by the City Council, also that every person
owning or driving carriage for hire be re-
quired to take out a license and pay as much
for it as they did. The above, of course, was
meant to apply to all owning or driving hacks
or carriages for conveyance of passengers to
and from depots, steamers, &c. The commit
tee will report the matter to the meeting of
the City Council Monday evening.
