ADDITIONAL EDITORIAL.

SPEAKER Carlisle has done himself
credit in his make up Of the committees.
1t is admitted OF all hands to be most
fair arrangement. Even Republican
journals acknowledge it. On the COM
mittee on elections, Of which Turner of
Georgia is chairman, are Converse, Dem
Ocrat, and Hart, Republican, of Ohio.
This committee has fifteen members.
Morrison, of Illinois, as chairman of the
committee of Ways and Means. is good,
and Randall on appropriations, is just
as it ought to be. Curtin is chairman
of committee on Foreign Affairs, and
emineutly qualified for the place. RO-
secrans OH Military Affairs, and s. s.
Cox on Naval Affairs, were worthy in all
respects. Reagan of Texas on Com
mercs is also suitable. He has treated
Republicans fairly, and as a rule salts
fed well the Democrats. ALI honor to
Speaker Carlisle.

sOnally acquainted with the men who
composed "that jury" In the first place
they took their seats In the box, free
from an opinion as to the defendants
guilt or innocence, and not opposed 70
capital punishment, aud then they were
sworn and affirmed to try the case ar-
cOrding to the LAW and EVIDENCE, and
to make true dellyerance between the
State and the prisoner at the bar.
The Court in his charge TO the jury
said: Under our law all men are pre-
sumed to be innocent, and that presump-
tion can only be removed by full proof
of the guilt of the accused, and this
places the burden of proving his guilt
upon the State; and the State i5 rcQuir-
ed to do this by proof IS shall establish
the guilt OF the accused beyond the eX-
istence of reasonable doubt. 4
Aud this defendant can not rightly be
convicted of the Offense charged against
him until the State has satisfied yOn aud
EACH of yOu from the proof of his guilt
beyond a reasonable doubt"
That is the law. The testimony we
will not discuss; we viii only say that
The opinion of the great thrOng of peO-
pie who daily cOngregated in the court
room were very evenly divided as to the
prisoners guilt; and tho larger portion
that we were able to talk to were bound
to admit, though sOmeW hat against
their desire and wish that it were 9TH

State was possibly q little weak" Now

you take it to yourself, be willing 10
say the word that would take away a
human life IL you could not see and an
derstand the testimony so that it would
free your mind from reasonable doubt?
If, after hours Of discussion and careful
meditation and honest study there still
remained in your mind doubt founded
on and recOncilable with reason, would
You throw aside the s8uCtlgy of your
oath and say GUILTY, and send by your

The question of costs is being largely
discussed. We have been informed by
Deputy Clerk Bow, who made q hastv Ps-
tlmate, that the costs would ht a3Out

hard work was the fire entirely subdued.
So fierce did it rage at one time that it
was feared the flames would spread to
the houses in the immediate vicinity,
the majority Of which are frame build
iugs, hut, thanks to the efforts of the
fTtmeH, this calamity was aYerted.
Tile lrst floor of the building is Occupi-

occupied the second floor. which was
completely gutted, the loss amounting
to about $500. The loss to the building
Is estimated at between $500 and 500,
5000 of this being covered by insurance.
Ever since the Electric Light Company
first took posse ssiOn of this building,
the people dwelling in the vicinity of
it have been greatly annoyed by the
heavy humping of the engine at night,
besides living in constant fear of fire.
The slight fire IN the building which
occurred about two weeks ago increased
these apprehPnsiOns, and at the last
meeting of the City Council, petition,
signed by numerous citizens, was pre-
sented to that body calling its atten-
tiCu 10 the danger of fire existing there,
and praying for some kind of prOtec-
tiOn, This petition was referred to the
committee on Gre department of the
Council, and it has not yet reported.
The committee will no doubt give in its
report at the next meeting Of the COun-
ell Monday evening, when some action
win probably be taken in the matter.
