1t is not very surprising that the In
diana court thought the testator de-
mented who left 5000 for the estab-
lishment of home for old maids. Just
why that rather queer cOnceit should ne
taken as evidence of mental ineompe-
tency to make a will is not quite evil
dent. A sketch of the life of the will
maker might vindicate the saneness
and prOpriety of his course. He might
have lived bachelor, and gratitude TO
some maiden lady for not marrying him
may have dictated his bequest; or he
might have had an unfortunate expert
ence that sought malicious revenge
upon the sex by cOngregating ancient
SpinsterS in one house. But that were
a daStardly imputation. Numeruusly.
and perhaps as a rule, the ladies' who
do not marry are as amiabie and deserv-
ing OF respect and affection as those
who do. They almost invariably have
opportunities to enter the dual state.
but have sense and independence
enough to remain single, and PERHAPS
provide their own subsistence, rather
than accept a husband whom the head
and heart do not concur in approving.
Such are deserving of credit and honor.
Sometimes they are without kindred
aid needed friends. and misfortunes or
age Overtake them unprOVided for.
Whether it is desirable to establish
houses distinctively for ladies who
have never married or not, may be a
question. There should be no dis
arrangement of that condition in
courts or public sentiment, nor
should there be special encourage
ment to abide in it. Marriage is the
ideal state, and woman who has an in.
cOrrigible aversion to it as condition
of life may be presumed to have some
defect in her composition. The heart
may be dwarfed or the mind unsymmet-
rical in development. 1t does not fol-
low, however, that ladies who do not
marry do any more violence to the fit
uess Of things than old bachelors.

1t is given out with confidence that
the Republicans in congress will not
long be embarrassed by the meagerness
of their majority. On the vote for
speaker they were able to cast but 166
votes, which was three less than their
full vote and exactly quorum. In the
last congress. with nine or ten majority,
the Democrats by only the hardest eff
tort were able at any time to command
a quorum of their members. The prac-
tice to defer the decisionof contests
for seats till late in the session has not
been confined to either party. In the
last congress Democratic contestant
was not given his seat until the closing
days of the session. This may be an
Objectionable system, and probably
should be reformed. but congress is
slow body. and not conspicu-
Gus for its zeal to eradicate abuses in its
own economy. Democrats may prop
erly resist any radical change that has
a purely partisan animus. 1t is be-
lieved to be the Republican scheme to
eradicate dozen or more of the Demo-
Gratis, whose seats are needed by the
Republicans, to make up an easy work
ing majority, before any important
legislation is undertaken. They appre-
bend that the full party vote will not
come UP to the line on tariff and other
measures that are strictly partisan;
hence they will probably devote their
first efforts to the enlargement of their
force. A very unusual number of con.
testants are on hand from the South, re-
lying upon the party needs and the
usual theories about the negro vote that
was not cast for them. 1t is possible
that the requisite vote can be rallied to
seat these contestants at once. and it is
expected that Speaker REED will be
valuable factor in the success of the
scheme. The Democrats will be juSti-
fed i'm an obstinate fight, and the Re-
publicans responsible for the obstrue-
ton to business.

SOLDIER STATISTICS.

Gen. ALGER may add to his prestige
as the distinctive soldiers friend by his
proposition to require the census takers
to learn the present condition of every
person who was in the military service,
both as regards health and property.
The object evidently is to show special
concern for the welfare of the men who
have earned the gratitude of the nation.
But even il there were occasion for such
report, it would be impracticable for
the census men to secure anything
complete and reliable. Those who
assess for taxation know something of
the difficulty of obtaining accurate data
of personal property, and it is still
more difficult to obtain reliable infor-

surance companies will not accept the

rigid examination by medical experts,

In the present aspect of the CRoNIN
case there is more probability that the
jury will hang than the cuiprits. A
little before midnight request came
from the jury room to the judge for
blankets. which is fair Indication that
the jurors proposed to SnoOZe awhile
before finally agreeing to disagree. A
verdict of guilty would be a marvel,
not because the circunStantial evidence
is not strong enough, but because it
would almost be- impossible to compress
moral courage enough in jury box to
formulate a verdict OF that kini under
the peculiar stress that has been brought
to bear upon the jury. Rarely do the
annals of court trials contain the his
tory of a case where SO great influences
were brought to bear on behalf of the
accused, and whereSO many difficulties
beset the path OF the prosecution, as has
been illustrated in this CRoNIN case.
Regardless of the verdict of the jury,
public opinion is already maze up, yet
public opinion does not punish crime.
1t would be a terrible misfortune if
there had TO be another trial. Any sort
of verdict would be better than i dis.

court this afternoon made report. The
report shows 1t has been the practice of
the United States marshal to charge
the penitentiary Is to 30 cents per
gallon for milk from COWS kept there
and cared for by prison labor and fed
principally from food raised upon the
reservation or paid for by the govern
ment. These vouchers, since 1882, have
amounted to about 5000. The mar
shall also has. been selling to
the penitentiary potatoes raised on
the reservation by convict labor.
Other fruitful sources OF revenue for
him were team hire for the deputies,
hauling prisoners TO and from the peni-
Tertiary. etc. The marshal also sup
ports, partly from public supplies. and
table leavlngs, twelve milch cows, 100
hogs, and two extra horses. In
one year, with one team, for
which the government provided
the driver, the marshal earned in
hauling, the sum Of $4,000. The jury
says for $500 the government could
provide itself with horses, wagon and
harness to perform all this service, and
for 300 additional could purchase
two good cows, sufficient to furnish
all the milk necessary for the
penitentiary. and it would seem as
though it were economy to do this.
The jury also complains that the mar
shall has shown unusual fayOrs to the
prisoners convicted of unlawful cOilabi-
tatiOn. The supplies now furnished the
penitentiary are Is per cent in excess
of its needs. and at a price 25 per
cent too high. The jury also inVesti-
gated the administration of county
affairs, and makes sensational
report thereon. The read work has re-
ceiyed in five years $4,000, and there
are no bids on the work and no proper
vouchers. The county has sunk in
canals 1922, 900. and has no canals, save
the m oney. The collectors defafea-
lions are severely commented upon.
The county has lost $50, 900
by the collectors and $1,000 through a
clerk. The reports says that the county
officials deal with themselves as bust
ness firm for supplies. and show favor
itism to the Mormon prisoners. The
county court has also voted away valu-
able franchises for no public eonSidera-
ton. The officers have been trading
with each other for supplies and en-
tering into partnership with spoilers.

The city has also paid to bogus hy-
draulic canal company, S9.697 for all in
terest in the Jordan river and dam.
which the company never owned, but
which the county opligingly bonded
over to the city, the county receiving
not cent of the money. The report,in
closing. charges that the bulk of this
fund found its way into the pockets of
the city and county officials.

Matrimonial Freaks.

There is not likely to be any great rush of
young people into matrimony by way of
dime museums and ticket drawing. but some
minds are SO peculiarly constituted that they
are attracted 10 the use of such freakish
methods. They would hardly care to marry
at all If they could not get there by some de-
vice. The young America mind has been
specially active in devising romantic we'd
dings. Some have chosen the midnight hour,
horseback, in odd places and peculiar en-
vironments. Even The telephone ana Phone

A Drunken MissOurian Attempts
Murder and Commits Suicide.
KANSAS CITY, Dec. 14.-Frank 3.
Hyde, of Hutch nson, Kan, endeavored
to kill Mrs. w. B. Esther here this
morning and then committed suicide by
cutting his throat from ear to ear. Hyde
arrived here yesterday and proceeded
to get drunk. This morning at l0:30, in
a partially Intoxicated condition, he
went to the boarding house on the cor
ner of Sixteenth and Campbell streets,
twO-stOry brick building kept by Mrs.
w. b. Esther, all attractive woman of
middle age, and endeav0red to induce
her to elope with him to Australia. This
she refused to do, and after some angry
words at her refusal he suddenly took
from his pocket knife. and opening a
blade seized the terrified woman by the
hair and tried to cut her throat. She
fought desperately for her life and
finally succeeded in breaking away
from her would-be slayer. Hyde then
turned the knife upon himself and cut
his own throat from ear to ear. He died
in few moments. Mrs. Esther, though
severely injured about the face, will re-
cover. Hyde was formerly proprietor
of the Midland hotel at Hutchinson,
Kas., and prominent real estate man
of that place. Both were married.
