The latest DEVELOPMENTS in what ia called thu

The latest developments in what is called the
Wissahickon mystery will serve to discredit
the force OF "circumstantial evidence in muir
der cases. A mutilated and decayed body was
found In Wissahickon creek last spring and
was identified as that of butcher named Stahl.
The remains were delivered to the bereaved
relatives, who buried them with all due grief
and respect The next step was to ascertain
the murderer, and suspicion rested on one Die
terle, Stahrs employer, who, 1t was thought,
had a motive for such a deed. In the opinion
OF good lawyers the evidence against DieterIe
was convincing, and IL was by good luck more
than anything else that he escaped the hang
man.
But now comes man named Wilson, who
eases burdened conscience by a confession
that he Is the criminal in the Wissahickon
mystery. and that the victim not Stahl,
but Mr.. DAILY, a farmer living near Philadel-
phia, with whom Wilson had some trouble.
Circumstances go to support Wilson's story,
and IL is probably the true one. Hence, unless
there were two parallel tragedies, which Is
altogether unlikely, Stahls relatives have
incurred over and buried the wrong body and
suspected the wrong person as the criminal.
The incident shows how cautious the courts
should be in accepting this whole class Of evil
dence as conclusive in capital cases.

WE would like to ask Bro. Morford
 of the Phoenix, Arizona HERALD,
 Why it is nc cessary for the President
 to go outside the Territory to select its officers? What has become of Tom Fitch, Porter, Brown, Campbell Head and a thousand others perfectly competent to fill any office in the
 Territory We should think the day for carpet bag officials had pass ed. But it appears that whenever a politician becomes worn out in the service of hIs master he trades the last remnant of his waning power 10 some new aspiIgnt for a "phat 'ake'' III some terriiory-Neao Wszmasngt0n (Pa.) Globe. Now that's just what the people Of Arizona have been ask ing for years. Our officlal market is gluticd with the remains of broken down politicians and yet We mus suffer and pray on-as Arizonans only can pray. The Territory seems to be sort of political boneyard.

 many private it has become a matter
 of history. How far up the ladder of fame and honor it has climbed
 the microscopic future will more
 clearly show as resuults develop, as
 the public mind settles down more
 ccolly to Its dissection, It is very common thing to say of legislature that il was composed of 'srascalS"
 "scoundrels, :" thieves" and the like;
 such expressions are heard the louds
 est from those outsiders who them selves failed 10 have their little jobs
 run through the mill and given the appearance oflegslity. If the present legislature is somewhat remarkable for what it has done, it is equally remarkable for what it has not done Perhaps the two most important mattere to the Territory at large that came up were the freights and fares question and the matter of careslky l overhauling, revising and compiM our laws. These matters, with ali% the benefit they would te to the Ter ritoFy by way of assisting our com> merce aud reducing litigation remain in the condition in which the legis- lature found them. There was but ,..- .ea''~r of ~ DA>tn thN,.

 NEwsPAPERs are enatural"kickerj," not as a general thing from any natural perverseness of those who conduct them, but rather on account Of their being placed in a position relative to the public in which the objectionable features of the charc- ters of men and measures make themselves earliest known in all their bearings, and from the inclina> ton of the public 10 regard them in 8 measure as the guardians of it's interests. No doubt in inc great majority of cases newspaper opposl- tion is intended to be in the interest. of the public and they must necessa- rily run against individual interests, for all public measures are necessa. riIy championed by and originated primarily with the individual This circumstance very generally puts newspaper in the apparent attitude of making 9 personal fight, posi- ton, it must be confessed. which isl not at all desirable, and often oneI which has nullifYing effect uponI endeavors 10 preserve the publies veal, because likely to be misundert stood and misinteIpreted How. ever there are few newspapers that will shirk their duty when sence thoroughly convinced of the action that should be taken in the premises.
