ing some twenty or thirty witnesses Of
unutterable vileness and degradation.
Shameless aud crime hardened women
have taken the stand to confess, almost
TO boast Of, crimes and practices which
are unspeaksble. Ignorant and brutal
men from the same walk in life, from
the same purlieus ia New York, where
there are many more Of the same kind OF
men and women, appear to tell Of prac.
tices, common to them, Of such sstound-
ing infamy. however, that the average
man refuses to believe, because be cannot

men and women among whom it was
committed and whose lives are being
laid bare to ths knowledge Of the public,
present picture Of startling, incon
ceivable degradation that was undreamsd
of in the United States.
The picture is so frightfully
ugly that one almost forget'
the hideous and inhuman crime
which causes II to be held up to public
view. It is a picture which men and
women must face 1t shows Living

WE thought some Of the respectable
people In the Republican party would
object. though ever SO mildly. to the par
tissn and Illegal action of the Levy
Court. Job H. jackson says
would oppose the putting Of any
names upon the assessment lists in any
way except IN accordance with law. The
Levy Court must surely have power to
correct It's own MISTAKES. If the names
Of anv persons who have paid their taxes
have been returned as deiinquents those
names ought Co be put upon the lists
would rather see the county suffer than
70 have any names placed on the list in
what might be called a revolutionary way.
There are many ways In which the Re
publican managers can take advantage Of
the tschnicalitles Of the law there is no
aeed for them to proceed contrary to the
law We are constrained to believe that
the fresh young man reported Henry G.
Robinson incorrectly and unfairly in
commencing the Levy Court for an lille.
gal action Mr. Robinson is Republican.
but he is not foolish partisan, and he
would not advise or commend anybody
TO sommit an Illegal act for partisan
purposes. He likely takes the same
ground that Mr.. jackson took or that
every other good, law-abiding citizen
would take, not the position that tn,
fresh young man represents him tC
have taken.

The point Of danger in the financial

Of the government as respects It's ability

Every step taken by the administration or

The one thing needful during the next

The EXPOSURE OF FRENcHYis
TRIAL,


The evidence sdduced in the trial of
Frenchy," the Greek, for the murder Of
the woman Carrie Brown, known .as
Shakespeare, in New York, is extraor-
dinary and unprecedented.
The scientific evidence Of the experts,
DR.. Austin Flint and DR.. Formal, shows
that the blood found on the person Of the
Greek, two days after the murder
was mixed with partly digested
cabbage and corn beef in precisely
the same state aud quality as the blood
taken from the woman's body. Her
intestines and veins had been severed at
the same time and their contents had
mingled. The conclusion is that the
Greek got the stains Of blood from the
person Of the woman because the stains
on his clothes and the stains about the
womans corpse and bed exhibit exactly
the same phenomena in precisely the
same way. This is one Of the most
novel and startling proofs ever used in q
court Of justice.
The case is remarkable also In produe

he denies the virgin birth of Christ, the
bodily resurrection Of the Saviour and
the verbal inspiration of the Bible II is
said also that Mr. Newton establishes
his belief on the Nlcesn creed and does

hence this synopsis may be very unfair

any other other person under them for or

Commissioner Wiley does understand
