may have been unjust, but tho feeling was
widespread and had been steadily gaining for
months that II the management.ot the prose-
cution had desired TO do so, they could have
brought the case to much earlier close with
out sacrificing any Interest Of the Government.
Those who have given attention 10 tho evil
dence, to the facts put before the Jury and TO
the law ne laid down by tho Judge, Will not DO
surprised at the verdict, whatever may bo
their Views rs TO the acts Of the defendants.
The case, as It exists in tho evidence, is not
the case that has been presented In many
newspapers; and We have no doubt that II the
gentlemen who nave been most earnest
in demanding conviction had been on
the. jury they would have been COM
PEELED, under the obligation OF their
oath, to do as the jury has done. A moral con-
yiction often exists in the mind of an honest
juror as to the strict legality OF certain alleged
acts, which Is not in harmony with the law and
evidence and which he is, therefore, com
PEELED 10 put aside in making up his verdict.
That no conspiracy, as charged In the indict-
ment, has been proven to have existed, Will
probably be tho conclusion of every one who
has carfully and conscientiously examined
tho Testimony.

yesterday that Mr.. Lillenthal represented
himself as q merchant. Mrs. Isabella War

are greatly incensed about Lllionthal's con-

him last Friday, when he came 70 her house.
The ex.rabbi made several attempts to be

A Felonious Act.
Peoria ur,3 TranscrIpt.


The disclosures In the Ottman case simply
show that the agents OF the Government did
what In private individual would be
esteemed compromising felony. They at
tempted TO secure the return OF money stolen
from the Government by Offering the thief
immunity from punishment. Whom private
person does this II Is regarded aB q crime.
Why should II be a proper thing for the Gov
eminent to do? The Government has much
greater interest in seeing to It that the guilty
have. A few thousand dollars are nothing to a
serious thing for the Government itself to
compromise with thief and let him go un.
whipped OF justice. The object In such case
should not be simply to get the stolen money
back, but 10 punish the rogue and vindicate
the law. Indeed this is the very object OF the
Government, and it deserts its primo duty
when 1t leaves the law 10 enforce itself and
enters into q bargain for the return OF
temptation for a private person to do
this Is very great, but the law brands
such action with the harsh title of compound
Ing felony and often makes It the subject of
severe punishment. frequently person who
intended no wrong is arraigned for this Of
fense and sharply punished in order to vlndl
cate the law. The property stolen may be OF
such a character that the person losing 1t
may be moro anxious to secure Its return
than 10 prosecute tho thief. But the law holds
any agreement OF tnat kind valueless and
brings two Offenders TO the bar instead OF one.
There Is every reason why the Government
should follow the rulo II prescribes for It's
own citizens.

Some Facts About the Prosecution.

Wash. Cor. n. Y. Sun.
Now that the case is over, 1t is time to tell
some facts about the prosecution which have
been withheld until the case was closed. In
the flrst place. the management of the prose-
cution has been equally scandalous with the
crimes charged against the defendants. The
District Attorney here has always been al
lowed s5 fee for prosecution of cases. At
torneys- General who proceeded Mr.. Brew
ster ruled that this should be the
official fee Of special counsel. This. was
made up by allowing the payment OF lump
sums as retainers. When Bliss and Merrick
were put upon the extravagant pay OF $3.50
per day, 1t was inevitable that lhey would
prolong the case to the uttermost. Bliss has,
on top OF all this pay, put in an extraordinary
list OF personal expenses, which have been al.
lowed up to very recent date. The amount
Of extra matter run into this case only to pro-
long II has resulted in so confusing the case as
to materially aid the defense.
Then the reporting OF the case has been
turned Into huge job. The stenographers
will clear between $4,000 and $4,000 on
their work.
The other day estimated from oflcial
sources the cost of the Star.Route trials at
s1,000000. 1t will go above that. 1t Will foot
up nearer $1,200,000.

The pr1apects FOR q railroad 20 bo built
within a short distance Of the Southern
Hills during the coming season we're
never brighter. There is good reason to
believe that there will be a terminus
within less than a hundred miles OF Gus
ter before next fall. Congress having
failed to complete the treaty with the
Sioux 80 as TO open up the reservation,
practically puts a stop to the Chicago x
Northwestern, and Milwaukee K st.
Paul until another year. This is a great
damage to the territory at large, and
also to the northern part Of the Hills,
But the North western road is, we under
stand, largely interested, if not the sole
owners, of the Sioux City & Pacific line,
which can run south Of the v ation
and thus reach the Hills in advance Of
the Milwaukee & st. Paul road. 1t is
reported on good authority, and gener-
ally credited, that they have purchased
a large amount Of steel rails, said to be
enough to lay 1000 miles Of track. This
is no doubt an error, 100 miles being q
figure more likely to be correct, and
that they intend to build one hundred
miles west Of Fort Niobrara this sum
