Same Of the Lessons.

After an outlay of nearly million of
money and trial lasting six months,
twelve jurymen say the star route ar
fists are not guilty of conspiracy. 1t is
stated, however, that one of the jury
men said that had the indictments been
separate they would have convicted
everyone. 1t would have been much bet
ter if this intelligent juryman had kept
his information to himself. 1t is not
consoling in the least to be told that
counsel engaged at one hundred dollars
day have made a mess of it. Quiet
people, who live far enough away from
the glamor and glare of Washington
whirlpools, to think quietly and soherly,
will conclude that more than one blum
der has been made; that, in fact, the
whole affair, from beginning to end, has
been one in which good sense has been
noticeable chiefly by its absence.
This notable trial has, however, not
withstanding its unfortunate not to say
disgraceful ending, been of service in
bringing plainly into prominence the
fact that it useless to attempt to convict
state criminals in the District of Column
bia. The entire district is so enveloped
and befogged by. the glare of wealth OBJ
tanned at the expense of the govern
ment, its better nature SO twisted and
dwarfed by the sophistical arguments
which make ordinary thievery appear
more in the light of a good joke rather
than crime, so long as the government
is the victim, that it is useless to attempt
any convictions within its limits. If the
government has any more suits to pros
ecute, it will be better to take them
into some outside district, even at the
expense of transferring Brewster, At
torpey General and his collection of
esthetics with it. There, where the
dazzle of the tinsil drapery is taken for
what it is worth, where spade is called
spade, and thief thief whether he
steals one or million dollars, the gov
eminent might stand a slight chance OF
convicting a few of its grand army of
embezzlers, star reuters and others of
that ilk. Washington air is not favor
able to the perfect ripening of judicial
fruit, and any attempts to propagate it
in that corrupting atmosphere will al
ways result in failure, perhaps not so
disastrous but fully as Disappointing, as
that of the present

informed that the Lancaster creamery
IS paying Is cents per gauge for cream,
that is, Is cents for enough cream to
make nearly 10 ounces of butter, or at
the rate of between II and IS cents per
pound for the butter in the cream.
This butter is probably sold for about
20 cents per pound, giving the creamery

During the interval, previous to the
report of the committee. Hon. j. w.
Seaton galvanized the assembly by u
ringing speech in which he explained
the injustice of expecting finished adj
dress from any one on only few days
notice, and suggested that the meeting
select speaker for the ensuing year
and then have all the old settlers con-
tribute such scraps of history rs they
were in possession of, from which the
speaker could evolve an address more
in keeping with the occasion.
The President thought the idea was
a good one and such seemed TO be the
feeling of the meeting, but it was not
acted upon.
The list of officers as reported by the
committee was then taken up and
adopted unanimously.
A gentleman then suggested that pro-
badly it might be well if the old settlers
would get together and get acquainted
The President thought the suggestion a
good one and appointed Judge Mills as
master of ceremonies, as she knew
everybody The Judge smilingly ac-
cepted, after which the meeting adj
journed. The old settlers then took adj
vantage of the occasion to learn more
of each other, after which they slowly
drifted out and the annual meeting for
'S3 was at an end.

slid out, carrying somewhere in the

Going TO Rome.

MILWAUKEE, June 14-Archbishop
Heiss, having received from the secre-
tary of the propaganda at Rome letters
notifying him Of the desire of the holy
father that he should attend the con-
ference of prelates which is to be held
in that city in November. for the con-
sideration of important questions con-
nected with the government of the
Catholic church in the United States,
will take his departure for the Italian
capital city early in October The mat
tiers that are to be discussed in the con-
ference include the government and
education of the Catholic clergy, the
instructions of Catholic youth, the adj
ministration of church property, and
the building and directing OF churches
and other ecclesiastical institutions.
Besides these matters many others will
come up for discussion, some of which,
probably, will be suggested during the
course of the proceedings.

Losing Faith.

A rebuke to the courts has been given
by young Mutt and his revolver that
they win do well to ponder over. Had
court and jury done their duty the
sheriff, under the law. would have done
what young Mutt has done outside of
and above the law. If ever shooting
was justifiable this was and every per-
son who believes in the sanctity of home,
the protection of virtue in woman, or
that eternal justice which deals out re-
tribution with just and impartial hand,

will mutter hearty amea to the act.

VIII mutter hearty AmoQ to the act
A more hideous traversty on justice was
never attempted than that enacted il
the courtroom where Dukes was pro
nounced not guilty OF the murder of a
man whom it was proved he shot down
in cold blood, after writing his victim Q
series of letters in which refined cruelty
was alternated with the bravodo of a
libertine.
1t is sad state of affairs when people
lose their faith in the courts. When the
dignity of the law becomes mockery
and by word on every street corner.
Are we nearing that stateP
In every part of tho country we hear
of persons taking the law into their own
hands. But with courts run by
venial juries who are as clay in
the hands of the potter when under the
influence of silver-tpngued criminal
lawyer, how is reform to be inaugur-
ated, and without reform where will il
end.
These are serious questions, which
should engage the attention of every
thinking citizen. The time was when
older settled communities were noted
for their law abiding trails, but that
was when the law melted out Justice,
stein and swift, to malefador of high or
low degree alike and with no imped-
ing chances. Now app,als to Judge
Lynch are as common n these COM
munities as ever they were in the palmy
days of the western slope. People have
lost faith in the forms oflav when those
forms serve only to protect instead of
punish criminals. A change must
come and speedily, or the very founda-
ton stone of our fabric of free govern
ment will be so shaken as to threaten
the entire sdperstructure.
