How slow footed justice may be is illustrated
by the Squire Flynn case. These two men were
indicted more than year and half ago, but
they have not been tried and are now de-
murring to the Indictment Perhaps the
simplest definition Of demurrer in such case
is that it means awe may be guilty, but you
can't prove it," Whatever the result of the
present proceedings, Squire's brief Official
career will long be pointed to as horrible OK

"Pride of committee" was not sufficient in
the House of Representatives to pass the Con-
s,itutional Amendment changing Inauguration
Day from March to April 30 The judiciary
Committee made favorable report. but after
a wrangle the resolution failed to get the need
ful two-thirds vote The matter is not one Of
extreme gravity. No practical reason in favor
of the change has been brought forward except
that on April so we are apt to have pleasanter
weather than on March 4. Something. loo,
might be gained by extending the short session
OF Congress. STILL the country will be able TO
get On for some time longer without any change
in this respect.

Mr.. Allison opened the debate on the tar.
i'll in the Senate Monday with a merciless
analysis of the Democratic position. His
exposure of the lack of unity among the
Democrats was severe He demonstrated
that there Is no logic in the Democratic Do
Sltion, that the surplus is not what is claim
ed, that 1t should be used for the payment
OF bonds and not in loans TO favored banks
for an indefinite term without interest.
that at the best the purpose of any tariff
revision bill is 10 provide for the future,
and not to using the existing surplus. and
that the Republican scheme does this with
out interfering with any American indus
try The unequivocal position of the Re
puhhcans in favor Of American labor was
shown IN the clearest terms, and in the in
vitaton given to the Democrats To amend
the bill if in any particular the interests of
the American workingmen have been over
looked. One of his most telling points was
made when he exposed the Democrats as
giving the retiners' monopoly, the sugar
trust discrimination in the Mills bill of
II per cent upon the entire capital of the
trust, to the injury Of every laboring man
in the country

Complaint is made by the senators and
representatives of the delay in the appear

point 10 which Gov. Dillingham; aludes in
his message. The very important report of
the committee on education is not vet ready
for distribution, and the report of the rail
road commission will not be in print until
Oct, 20 The delay in the latter report has
been caused by the failure of some of the
railroad companies TO furnish statistics
which the law requires.
