THE TRAL OF THE JUDGMENT Re
view Of the Anarchists Case, il the
title Of a handsome pamphlet Of 10
pages by Gen. NJ. Trumbull, an able
lawyer OF Chicago. II is addressed
TO lawyers quite as much as popular
readers, and challenges the attention
OF all thinking people. The author
saysi "That the wrong done in the
anarchist trial and judgment may be
rightod as far as possible, and that a
like wrong may never again be done
in the United States, this review is
written" We believe it will go far
with its readers in effecting the OBJ
ject in view. II leaves the conviction
that in the language Of Hon. Lyman
Trumbull-quoted by Gen. Trumbull
-"the trial had the appearance of a
trial Of an organization known as an
archists, rather than Of persons in
dicted for the murder OF Degan." In
this connection we ask attention to
the remarkable letter of Gen. Butler
which appears elsewhere in our col
umns. Gen. Trumbull is an old
Mexican veteran, q soldier of the late
war. an able lawyer, logical reason
err and clear, ready and forcible
writer, and, by the way, does not
endorse the violent methods of the
anarchists, but holds that the great
rs well as the small should be COM
PEELED to obey the law. Copies Of
the pamphlet under notice may be
had by sending 25 cents cash to the

The Fort Worth Southwest thus
justly sums up the record of the late
emperor of Germany:
William had n many great qualities
but unfortunately he had many other
qualities that were neither great nor
good. He was a believer in the di-
vine right ofkings to rule. He was
always an enemy to popular liberty.
He was opposed to progress unless
that progress meant the aggrandize
ment of the Hohenzollerns. He
would consent to make the people
happy if to do so would make him
self great. But to make himself
great and his state powerful was his
first thought.

A son of Hon. A. j. Evans, just of
age, was killed the other night at Wa
co, by falling under moving train.
He was talented and possessed of
other admirable qualities, but had
become 4 victim of strong drink, and
was under it's influence when
10 met lis death. The liquor
traffic did this terrible work. Should
this monster longer be permitted

Fort Worth and Denver are at Ia,

Fort Worth and Denver are at last
connected by railroad. This is truly
important contamination. The Den

the completion of the track that con-
meets Denver with the seaboard. The

even Governor Evans, to who match
less faith and tireless energy and en-
terprise this great achievement IS
mainly due-cannot over estimate
The far-reaching Importance of this
road to the future history of Denver
and to the prosperity of Colorado.
All hail to the event! Its formal GEL
ebration, soon to take place, should
surpass any occasion of rejoicing ever
witnessed in the state.

THE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT.

Christmas is not Only the milC-mark
of another year, moving US to thoughts
of self examination 1t is season from
all its associations, whether domestic or
religious, suggesting thoughts of joy.
A man dissatisfied with his endeavOrs is
a man tempted to sadness. And in the
midst of the winter, when bis life runs
lowest and he is reminded of the empty
chairs of his beloved, it is well he should
be condemned to this fashion of the
smiling face. Noble disappointment
noble self denial are not to be admired, +,
not even, to be pardoned. il they bring
bitterness. 1t Is one thing to enter the
kindom of heaven manned; another to
MAIN yourself and stay without. And
the kingdom Of heaven is OF the child
like, of those who are easy to please,
who love and who give pleasure. Mighty
men of their hands, the smiters and the
builders and the judges have lived long
and done sternly and yet preserved this
lovely character and among our car
pet interests and twopenny concerns,
the shame were indeliable il lce should
lose it. Genlleness and cheerfulness,
these come before al morality; they
are the perfect duties. And it ti3 the
trouble with moral men that they have
neither one nor the other. II was the
