FADING LIght.

The census return Of Nevada's popu-
lation is no surprise. 1t is merely Off
cial confirmation Of the well known de-
cline Of that State. The population has
fallen from 62,2ee in 1880 to 1921 in
1890, a loss OF 1896, or more than one
fourth in ten years.
The ready explanation is the decline
of the mining industry. The decline is
general, every county in the State ex-
cept two having lost population. I'm
less the unexpected shall come to pass
the current decade will mark another
falling of. yet this star of fast dimin-
ishing magnitude will continue to hold
its place in the galaxy of the Union.
The Constitution provides way to
make State, none to unmake one. 1t
is unfortunate that it is SO, but soft is.
When the question shall present itself
still more forcibly, as twill, the sense
of the country will make way to deal
with it.

HOW Yerdiots Arc Found.

Nothing in the case or Ben Ali, alias
.tFrenchy," alias sthe American Jack
the Ripper, " is half so interesting as the
manner in which the jury arrived at its
conclusion that he is guilty Of murder
in the second degree. The absurdity of
the verdict haa not failed to attract at
tention.
The man killed the woman or,s.he did
not; he is guilty or he is innocent.
There is no middle ground, no room for
compromise. There were no eye-wit-
'nesses to prove that Ben All killed the
woman. The case turned on micro
seopic test of some blood spots, akind
OF evidence declared by scientists of
high standing to be absolutely unrelia-
bic.
That the case was not made out to the
satisfaction OF the jury appears in the
unwillingness to find a verdict of muir
dor in the first degree, which, is the
oifense Of the murderer whoever lie or
she may be. But this is not all.
On the first ballot the Jury stood six
for guilty, live for NOT guilty, one being
80 undecided that he cast blank ballot.
The fourth ballot resulted in the verdict
that was returned. No new light was

cast on the case in the jury room. Moth
ing that could properly affect the case
had come to the knowledge Of the jurors
since they left the court room. If ave
Of them were for acquittal when they
entered the jury room they we're bound
under their oath to remain OF that opin-
ion until the end Of time, unless their
opinion were changed by new light on
the law or the evidence.
A juror who has been interviewed in
Inmates, though he does not say, that
the verdict was reached because the
jurors wished to get away. This is not
the first verdict in a murder trial that
has been SO reached, but every one of
the kind is an oftense against common
sense and justice.

AFRIGHTENED ELEPHANT

to the animal house with eight chill
dren on his back when the bal

the children. They all fell off and all
escaped uninjured but one 1T

son of railroad man who was caught
under the elephants feet and crushed
out of all semblance to humanity. The

WHEELING, JULY I, 1901.
Increase Of City Population.

The past decade was remarkable for
nothing more than for the growth of
urban populations. The rush to the
cities the world over was beyond pre-
cedent. Millions Of Europeans left
their country for newer fields, but every
European city grew enormously. Soft
was in South America. So in our own
country. Almost without exception
theicities have grown, the large and the
small, and cities have sprung up in
cornfelds, in the desert so-called, and
in, the mountain Businesses.
The rural moth Is attracted by the
city glare. Men and women bred on
the farm or in the peaceful hamlet hear
the stories Of easily and suddenly &C.
quired wealth and rush to the cities to
get their share. More miss it than find
It; but the rush is not abated by mis-
fortune. Not even the notorious mis-
government Of our cities with their
hordes of tax-eaters serves as a warning.
Only city life can satisfy the hunger for
city life.
In the matter Of what we call modern
cohyeniehces the city has advantages
over the country, but they come at
high price and it is a fair question
whether they are an even exchange for
llthat the rural bred man and woman
must pay for them. 1t should not be
forgotten that the country has in its
turn very great advantages over the city
in all that relates to health, long life
and Independence.
!. Whether it be an individual gain or
a loss to leave the country for the,teem-
ing city, the rush cityward is giving the
social economists something to think
about, for it presents new and intricate
problems right in their line of thought.

whitney to the Front.

The New York Press gives in detail
the steps by which William @. Whitney
has become the real head of Tammany
and,by virtue of that position the boss
OF all the bosses of the city Of New York.
1t appears that President Cleveland's
Secretary Of the Navy got down to work
as soon as he left Washington.
He divided himself into two parts, SO
we gather from the story, devodng
one Whitney to city railroads and the
other Whitney to city politics, with the
double object of making money and
making himself the next Presidential
nominee Of the Democratic party. Mr..
Whitney's schemes have gone SO we'll
that he is master OF the local Transports
ton situation and head OF the Tammany
heap.
All this has an interest for outside
barbarians inasmuch as Mr.. Whitney
has the Presidential bee buzzing loud
in his bonnet and, in the event oil Hill
getting Cleveland down before the ma
tional convention meets, Whitney may
come to the front with force enough to
convince everybody that Hill cannot
knock the persimmons.
It's true that Tammany tried to de-
feat the lucky Cleveland and failed, but
Whitney brings to the Tammanyleader-
ship qualities it was never able to COM
mand before. AS practical politician as
John Kelly was and Of wonderful stay
ing power, he has liberal education,
business connections Of the first import
ance, ample wealth and a lavish hand
He stands well with the Democracy OF
the country, having drawn to him some
OF the strongest factors while he was
Secretary of the Navy.
Hill and Cleveland may go on writing
letters and making speeches, but Whit
ney is doing beaver work that may tell
when the crisis comes. At all events
he is not filling Governor Hill with solid
comfort.
