The Borden trial, in the attempt
to solve a great murder mystery is
attracting widespread interest. As
a great many people form their
opinions regardless of the finding
of the jury selected, the New York
Recorder has instituted a novel
proceeding. They have selected
a jury of twelve prominent citi-
zens-many of whose names are
household words all over the coun-
try-who will consider the Borden
case as individuals. A stenograph-
ic copy of all the proceedings will
be furnished each distinguished
juror, who gives his verdict on the
case. The plan is an interesting
one, and, though it will not neces-
sarily demonstrate the guilt or in
nocence of Lizzie Borden, yet the
verdict of twelve men, acting as
individuals and without consulta
ton with each other, will form
new departure which, if not sane
toned by legal forms, is entitled
to consideration in the minds Of
the public.
Later-Press dispatches that
come today inform us that the
legal jury has acquitted Miss Bor-
den. Returns from the private
jury are now awaited with much
interest

An IMPORTANT CONGREss

1t is generally understood that the
president will call congress together in
extra session in September. 1t promis-
es to be one OF the most important and
exciting sessions ever held, as will be
demonstrated by noticing the following
list OF topics which are expected come
before it:
The silver issue, involving, of course,
the whole range of currency legislation.
The tariff, to prevent reform in
which manufacturers will have large
and powerful lobby in attendance.
The abolition of trusts, which organi.
cations will also support large array of
lobbyists.
The Chinese exclusion act. which is
certain to provoke long and bitter de
bate.
The Onti.option bill for the prevention
Of gambling in grain and other food
products.
The Nicaragua canal subsidy scheme,
10y which it is hoped to obtain 100000.
0CO from the federal treasury.
The election laws, involving a repeal
OF the present act in regard to the ap.
pointment Of federal supervisors,
The Pacific railroad indebtedness,
which must now become the subject OF
dddiiional legislation.
Here are eight topics all OF large and
farreaching importance. which are reas
onably certain to come before congress.
TO say nothing OF matters OF minor i'm.
port. Most, II not all OF them involve
questions Of the gravest concern to the
present and future welfare OF the nntion.
On not moro than two Of tbem-the tar.
III aud election laws will il be possible
to maintain even semblance OF party
lines. Local interests and sectional feel
irgs and considerations will inilueucc
the vote on the majority Of the issues
cnumeratt 4 above.
There never was time when more
patriotism, more integrity, moro knowl
edge, more manhood. more statesman
ship was required at the hands OF the
national congress. The people will
await results with more than ordinary
interest. Denrer Ners.
