What do you think of five crops
growing on one piece of land in one
year. This Is what Capt. j. X. III. Scott
has succeeded in doing this season.
He first grew oats, then corn and beans,
then turnips and another crop of oats.
MRS. J. II. Battenfield and family
removed last week to Daadanelle, where
they will reside In the future. Her
many friends In Russellville were sorry
to see her leave, but wish her much

tsinly come if it is much oftener made the
instrument Of gross wrong. If 1t is sup
planted by steruer system, one Of the
fundamental safeguards of American nber-
ties will have been broken dowp. We do
not anticipate this however. The triumph
of intimidation, perjury ana corruption will
be short. There will come presently rigor
and severity as reaction from the loose
ness Of the presant, and jurics will once
again become the refuge of the innocent,
ard the terror Of the evil-doer. Either
this, or the scheme of our form of govern
ment will IN part, at least, fail. The glar-
Ing example Of the Short case will furnish
an antidote to the poison Of corrupt YER
diets. The popular voice will be needed,
and the jury box purgei Of ni5feasance and
bribery, and lifted above the influence OF
intimidation. The belief is general that
the Short Jury was brow beaten and Cowned
by the dynamite ring, and there is broad
warrant for the belief This idea going
abroad will have tendency to array men
against the Rosa conspiriator5 who have
been Indifferent regarding them, ard, rs a
result, there will some day burst upon
these men such storm of popular wrath
as even they, with all their hardihood,
cannot face. In that day there will be
laid down new definitions Of American
freedom, which will sharply draw the line
between liberty and license.

THE SHORT TRIAL OUTRAGE.


There has been no trial of modern times
iii which the local press has heen 80 unan-
imoua in condemnation of verdict rs that
of Short for the deadly assault upon Phe-
Ian, in New York City, Tha; the finding,
mot guilty" was travesty upon justice
goes without saying. But one paper in
all the great city CT New York defends it.
The Times denominates the acquittal "a
scandalous failure of Justice" the World
"a shameful miscarriage Of justice, which
will bring fresh discredit to our city;" the
Tribune "a disgrace and direct encourage
ment to such atirays;' the Commercial i'd
rertiscr "a verdict which has allowed a
rufhan to 20 scot free. as shameless YER
diet as has ever disgraced the criminal an
mails Of this city," the Mail and Erprcss "a
verdict which encourages dynamite plot
tcrs TO further vengeance on ali whom they
regard as recreant to their cause, and rem
dercd by Il stupid or cowardly jury" the
Herald, there never was 4 verdict which
spread a sense of insecurity of life and
property so rapidly and generally through
this community, nor ever one 50 likely to
draw reproach upon our city" The New
York Post alone finds some little apology
for the jury, ii deeming the whole trial a
demonstration that Gan attempt to punish
Rosa and Ford for collecting money to be
used in murder and arson would IN
doubtedly fail" And this is equivalent,
as the New York Herald we'll puts it, to
saying that it is hopeless to check the
operations OF the dynamite ring in New
York City, no matter how fragrant they
may become. Judge Van Brunt, before
whom Shorts trial proceeded, in addition
to bluntly telling the jurors from the
bench, and in his capacity as magistrate,
that they had committed perjury and
struck heavy blow at the form Of justice
and the integrity Of the system Of trial by
jury, in the press says;
THE jury are the only persons to blame.
to allow them to act In this instance as honOr4
bic men should ANY one with an eye in his
head could see that the attack on Phelan was
prcmoGitated If 1t was not. why did the five
or six men who were IN RossHs Office when the
row began Immediately rush out TO the street
But what is the uSo of talking? The case is
ended now and every level headed man in the
city and coun.-y knows that justice has been
outraged
District Attorney MARITIME declares that
the verdict was simply outrageous. No
man with a spark of honesty would have
consented to it, 1t was clearly against the
evidence, and sheer cowardice alone
could have instigated it." The intelligent
and conservative men of New York city
are even more indignant in expression
than are the press and the Court officers.
1t would be interesting TO know just what
the individual jurors think Of the criti-
cisms made regarding them 1t may be
assumed, however, that men capable of the
baseness to which they descend are callous
to public opinion. The verdict will go
very far toward augmenting the bitterness
with which the system Of jury trial is now
being aSsaiIed. Its abrogation will GER

IN discussing the question of suffrage reform
the Chicago Current rightly pronounces against

" Honesty and industry-not property and

IT was blunder on the part Of some o.
the speakers at the unwilling of Poe's bust
in Central Park, New York, recently, to
attempt 70 say anything apologctic for the
life Of the man. The world recognizes the
poet, not the man; his written thought,
not his personal habit; the brilliancy of
his genius, not the weakness Of his flesh.
Why should the privacy of the poets life
be invaded at all? What care we for the
domestic or other affairs Of the painter
upon whose work we gaze? What possible
relation can they have to the art-worf
upon the canvas? Does the picture speak
to Us! does it tell its meaning does it
convey It's thought does it produce the
effect desired? These are the only proper
questions. What care has the world now,
or has it ever had, of the personal weak
nesscs OF Lamb or Hazlitt, of Scott OF Hugo,
of Goethe or Goldsmith, of the old mas
ter, or the great classicists-exeept 50 far
as the qualification Of mere curiosity is
concerned?
