The selection Of senator for the va
cancS to occur in the Texas senatorial
delegation is very important matter,
but 1t is one which pales into insigntt-
canoe before some questions OF local,
state legislation which this Legislature
will either do or leave undone. POSI-
bly, the doing will be such rs to make
the intelligence Of the state sorry that 1t
was attempted. Inc impression that
the selection Of the u. ). senator Is the
most important matter TO come before
the legislature is as erroneous as can be.
The simple question OF establishing re-
form school is much more important;the
question OF convict labor and the degre-
dalton of all abOr, thereby, is graver
question: the establishment of proper re-
strlctions upon the grabbing Of large
bodies Of land by foreign syndicstes is
far more Important; even the framing
and passing of q wise and equable road
law lays way over the matter Of United
States senator. The senatorship we
grant Is a very important matter. impor-
tant particularly 10 the politicians, but
these other things are of grave impOr-
lance TO the people.
The code of honor as accepted in the

ST.. LOUIS, Nay 22-The prosecution IL
the Maxwell case are nearing the end o'
their list of witnesses, the evidence oi
whom they think will convict the defend
ant of murder in the first degree, and it is
probable that they will close their side Of
the case to-day.
]. F. Ryan, Superintendent of the
Morgus to which Preller's body was taken,
was the first witness. he described the
trunk and the exact position Of the body
in 1t, when ne saw it; the body was badly
swollen and almost black from decomposi'
ton. The only clothing on the body was
q pair of drawers marked Nv. q. Brooks;
there were superfcisl cuts, skin deep, on
the body's breast, and on the inside OF
trunk was q piece of paper bear
ing the words: 80 perish all traitors to the
great cause" Witness had the liver and
lungs removed from the body and taken to
a chemist, who examined them; had also
had the body embalmed, which reduced the
swelling and discoloratien. Witness had
seen the body exeumed and thought that
it was in excellent condition considering
the length OF time that it had been in
TERED. . .D..
Cross-examination developed the fact
that the witness when the body had first
been brought to the Morgue, had marked
it white man" to distinguish it from the
surrounding corpses OF negroes. ,
Several other witnesses were examined
this moIning, but gave no new testimony.

At the opening Of Judge Boyds Court

hours in its delivery. He answered the
arguments Of Messrs Caldwell and Russell

eloquent appeal for his clients. His ad,

tention by the largest audience Of the
week, many professional men, especially
physicians, being present to hear
the gentleman's remarks con
cernipg expert testimony. After
referring to particular cases occurring in
this trial, he ssid he would DO what he
could TO drive the practice of taking expert
testimony out of the Courts, except such as
might be given just IS any ordinary wit
ness would give il, and for which no more
fee should be paid than the 81 q day Of the
regular witness.
Lengthy papers were then read to the
Jury by opposing counsel containing the
points of law which the Court approved as
its instructions, and the case went to the
jury.
The Jury retired at 10 o'clock, and in
about ten minutes returned verdict sus'
