other Evidence Needed.

If Simeon Coy and his alleged partner
are guilty of the crime of which they are
charged, they should go the road OF con-
victed criminals. But we would like to
zee them convicted on other evidence than
that Of q perJursr, which is the case in the
results of the trial Just ended. We would
like TO see them before a judge who APP
preciates the dignity of his position enough
to not leave the bench and indulge in a
political harangue under the guise of a
''charge to jury" These things we would
like to see, and when they have been
brought about and fair trial guaranteed,
let Canadian. over whose head an indict'
ment hangs, come from under the shield
of Republican partisanism and receive his
lust dues with the rest.

Distress Existing,
Brazil Democrat-

On Saturday last, the jury in the tally
sheet forgery case, in the United States
Court at Indianapolis, rendered a verdict
convictiDg Coy and Bsrnhamer, ana &C
quitting Mattler. The prosecution of this
case developed great deal of interest and
feeling throughout the State. There has
existed the distrust, in fact, the honest
conviction. on the part of many, that the
prosecution had assumed, largely, the
shape Of party persecution, which the re-
suit Of the recent trial, even, has not oblit-
Grated. Doubtless, the verdict reached
wss unexpected at large, disagreement
being anticipated.

The Palladium is very thankful for the

is on the testimony of an interruptions

even asked that Carnahan be tried, and if

A Compromise Verdict,
Lebanon Pioneer,

The verdict in the case of the Govern
ment against Coy and Bernhamer was
compromise" Is it not about time that
jurors should learn that a mans life or
liberty should not be compromised
away? 1t is not question ofcompromise;
it was either guilt or innocence, and there
could be 40 compromise grounds upon
which to make verdict. Those men were
either guilty or innocent, and it was not
matter to be trifed with.

Time for Business Men to Act.
Providence Journal (Rep).

The country, as a whole, was never in a
better mood for listening to business men
who feel themselves sggrieved by existing
duties, never more willing to make an un-
prejudiced study of the effect of the tariff
on each industry, never more averse to &C.
cepting the unsupported assertions OF the
participants in political debate. Mem
bers of Congress will do well to observe
this state OF the popular mind before they
engage in any more protracted discussions
in which sentiment and partisan appeals
are made to take the place of facts and
arguments.

made On the pecan crop they used partly

Say About ths Matter,
County Assessor Robinson feels some
what hurt 81 what was recorded In the
columns OF THE GAZETTE yesterday, and
says his books should have been the best
evidence In regard to the matter. What
WAS said yesterday was given on author
isy of several of the county commission
ers. Mr.. Robinson says that in sew
eral cases the figures were erro-
neous and where It wss stated that
property was assessed at $4,000 it should
have been $4,000. In regard to the
acre properly he claims that the Com
missioners were mis- taken, that
the Texas and Pacific reservation
held for DEPOT purposes or imme-
distely adjoining is not assessed IS
acre property and that the property pur-
chased at $1,000 per acre is SO assessed.
Mr.. Robinson thinks assessments this
year will reach s13, 000, 900 in 1888.
