CAPITAL oFFENsE TRIALS.

The G hcag0 lawyer who Is retained in
the Sidney Bell case is reported as saying
that in his long legal experience he had
never seen a case with so many ramiica-
tions Of which no one could see the end.
The Curtis case is another example of the
fertility Of resources on both sides. When
the De GTeayer case comes up FIR trial the
public VIII probably discover TamiGcatons
undreamed Of at present. As notifications
DO not create themselves, the inference is
that somebody knows how il happens that
an ordinary crime assumes at once such
complex shape. Bell is q fOntpad, who
voluntarily exposed himself to taking
human life whenever he put his pistol In
his pocket and started out to raise a little
money. II the persons he met handed over
their small change without remonstrance,
well and good. He only proposed to kill In
cases where the persons attacked showed a
disposition to defend their property. IN all
such cases il was a question Of the footpad's
life or the lives Of the other parties. But
so many rami6cat0ns have grown out Of
murder tina; might have happened any night
when Bell started out that an experienced
Chicago lawyer is bewildered. To save the
life Of the f0Otpad good many regulations
have been attacked. The defense have not
even spared the female members Of the
murdered mans family. A clergyman is
unpleasantly mixed up in the unsavory
matter, and our two morning cOntem-
poraTes have taken such an active part in
creating ramifcatiOns that each is driven by
a sense Of decency to suppress that part Of
the court proceedings which refers TO its
own work. As neither OF these journals is
in the habit Of hiding its light under a
bushel, the conclusion is unavoidable that
neither is proud of the part IL has played
Starting out with an apparently simple
case, ramifcaLions have presented them
selves from point to point with n dramatic
suddenness and sequence that might be ex-
peeted in Braddon romance.
The public will naturally ask how a man
in the station OF life Bell occupied should
possess the means and Influence to set all
these springs in motion. How does it hap
pen that a man who is a fOotpad one day
becomes the moment he falls into the hands
of the law so rich and influential? All that
is positively known is that Bell has money
with which TO employ able lawyers, maiu-
tain private detective bureau and do other
things that can only be done by n CONSIDER
able expenditure Of money. The conjecture
in this case IS that the money Bells friends
have so freely expended comes from a syn
dictate Of law-breakers who have formed
themselves into kind of protective associ-
alton for the purpose Of defense. We do
not know that the conjecture is true. Ii it
be true, it does not follow That ali the per-
sons engaged in the defense are aware of
the source Of the money they expend. But

Suce Senator Hul killed Cleveland as a

race. The man who is quite as likely as
any to attract Presidential lightning is not
yet much spoken Of, but may be shortly if
Hill can lie convinced that he cannot be
nominated and elected. His name is Whit

SMALL FARMS.

THE CALL is glad to see a general discus
sion IN interior papers ID respect 0the divi-
sion Of agricultural land into small farms.
Tie Cg,-ss sun, s. hitch lives and 1ourishes
il a country Al large landed estates, is so
1m.ys Impressed with the advantage Of
small forms, that il proposes four amend
meH-s t. the State Constitution, as follows:
L. Corporations must not own land. 2. No
person must get laad by VIII. 3. Estates must
be sc tied. up within year, and lines run and
land ser apart 90 each legal heir. share and share
alike 4 All farming land must be graded, and
every acre must be assessed Ike every other acre
Of Ike quality aud nothing growing on The land,
ana 10 Improvements must be assessed.
Tie Palermo Butte County Progress
proposes amendments to the SUNS amend
meu-s. 7 at j1gTHal thinks corporations
should be allowed t. own land enough for
tie location Of their plants: that small
farms should 20 by inheritance; that the
division Of land among heirs should only be
required where large tracts are concerned.
and that 1O-acre farms devoted 20 fruit
40-acre farms devoted to grain, and 80-acre
faTBs devoted to timber, in cases where the
owner resides upon his farm, shall be ex-
empt from taxation.
In tie United States there is a close con-
nectiJn between 'axation and representa-
ton. While there is NJ proposition TO dis
franchise the Hou-taX- payer. the feeling
might grow up if a property-holding non
taX-paying class should BE- created by law,
that rs voice in the government of the
country should be- in proportion to its con-
tfi5ution to the support Of the Government.
But there is one thing that may be done
Large bodies of land NAV be so taxed that
the Eate Of taxation would be comparatively
low on 10-acTe farms Land susceptible Of
imuroyement should be taxed as if i'm
proved. Land-holding for speculative pur-
poses should be discouraged. The owner
al least should be made to contribute to the
public treasury a fair proportion Of the
profit he makes IN land held idle or held in
waiting to grow up with the country. Laws
designed TO bring all kinds of property I'M
der assessment would. Il carried out. so
reduce the rate Of taxation that the burden
would not be felt by the reasonably pros
prr9us small farmer It's sometimes better
toad0 things by inIirecti0n than by positive
commend OF prohibition. Taxing idle lands
is legitimate exercise Of the law-making
pCwer. Restricting the amount Of land
j5l9; man may own, or the amount that
may be Transmitted from father to son, is
. an exercise Of the law-making power the
people would have to get used to.

A team OF horses hatnessed to 4 heavy wagon

A CONTRA ST.

The Democrats of New York seem dis
posed to present the country with a con-
trast 10 the rigid economy the same party
advocates in national expenditures. a
New York paper has given the names and
amounts OF bills ID process of becoming
laws, which represent the snug sum Of
S17QC0,00O, besides the regular appropria-
tlon bills, which amount to about
So coo. Possibly all these bills will not
become laws but as the session has still a
long time 10 run there is no assurance that
the list is complete. The value of Demo-
cratic professions of economy in the Ma
tionM Government is somewhat impaired
by such extravaganza as is reported in New

the assertion may safely be made that
man who handles this money for the pur-
pose Of defeating justice is in a moral sense
not much better than Bell himself. A
lawyer may exhaust professional resources
in procuring a fair trial for a client whom he
believes to be guilty, but he may not eX-
pend a corruption fund for the purposes it
is alleged this fund was accumulated for
A syndicate of w-bTeakers assocating

in view. Their purpose is TO free any one

Is there not a charming simplicity about
the resolution on sugar passed by the
Trans Mississippi Commercial Congress?
The congress was GIatifed with what our
legislators at Washington have done in
granting a bounty on the export Of sugar
and in admitting machinery for the manu-
facture of sugar free, but it wants some
thing more. Appropriations are needed to
give instruction In Tie chemistry pertaining
TO the industry. Now. the aid Of The Gov
eminent must be invoked in any matter Of
customs duties, but why is it necessary to
90 begging for education IN a common
branch Of knowledge? What are State
universities for. unless a number of the fac
ulties bear some relation to the affairs of
everyday business life? Surely, no such
institution is destitute Of a chair in oh ennis

engineering; and when a little agricultural
knowledge is added this is all that is needed
to qualify young men for beet-sugar manu-
