SPIES ON TRIAL.


Results of Their Espionage to Be
Given the French Government.
LEIPsIG, Dec. 15.-The trial of the
two supposed French spies, De Gong.
alias Dubois, and Delgay, alias Dagnet,
was continued today behind closed
doors. The court during the day re-
ceiyed considerable expert evidence.
The public, later in the day, was read
mitted to the court room and heard the
confessions of the accused. They said
that they intended to forward the re-
suits of their espionage to the French
government.
Public Prosecutor Treplin said that
the prisoners were not of the same class
as the bad characters he had to deal
with at previous trials. The public
prosecutor added that he was favorably
impressed with the accused: but, in
view of the present extensive espionage
upon the part of French officers, which
rendered the large sums of money eX-
pended upon German defenseS useless,
he must ask that sentences of five and
Jour years penal servitude be imposed
upon the prisoners respectively. and
that the drawings and notes found in
their possession be destroyed. The
public prosecutor, after all the evidence
was in, demanded a sentence of five
years penal seryitude for De Gong and
sentence OF four years penal seIyitude
for Daeuet

fore. that Arizona has much less than a
major fraction of the population re-
quired in the older states for represen-
tation in congress. 1t would be mani
festly unjust to admit her OH repre-
sentative equality with such states as
Colorado, Delaware, Idaho, Montana,
North Dakota, Washington and Wyo-
ming, all of which exceed her in popula-
ton, wealth and general intelligence.
1t is argued by the Democrats, in JUS
LITIGATION of their effort to confer the
rights of statehood upon Arizona, that
worse conditions existed in Colorado.
Nevada and other states admitted to the
Union under Republican regime, and
that the Democrats have right to re-
taliate now that they have the power.
This is poor logic. bad policy. and still
worse morality. The Democrats cannot
afford to commit wrong, even If they
have the power to do so. 1t will be sure
to react upon them. If wrongdoing
could be justified upon such grounds,
justice would never triumph in the at
fairs of the nation, for each party would
feel warranted in setting all law and
equity at defiance simply because the
opposing party had done so in the past.
The Democratic party must be con-
tent 10 do right under all circumstances.
no matter how their opponents may
have transgressed. Honesty may be
defeated temporarily, but in the end it
will prove the best policy. The public
know the circumstances that led to the
admission of some half-doZen rotten
boroughs in the West to statehood IN
der Republican rule. 1t was done sim
ply to retain that party's ascendency in
the senate of the United States in order
that it might escape the consequences
of its eXtra-constitutional acts. 1t
served that purpose for time; but JUS
tice, though laggard, overlook it. al
though the injury it caused has not yet
been repaired.
1t is neither just nor expedient that
any other of the territories, save Utah
and New Mexico, should be admitted to
the Union. These have the population
required by law, but the intellectual in
feriority of majority of the inhabitants
OF New Mexico raises a doubt as to the
eXpediency of giving that territory any
further privileges at present. With the
admission of Utah the work should
cease for the present decade. The two
parties are nearly evenly balanced in
congress. TO give either an oyerwhelm-
Ing ascendency would be fraueht with
danger. The greatest security the peo-
pie can have in the enjoyment of their
rights can be obtained under conditions
such as exist at present, when neither
party dare attempt legislation preju-
dicial to the public interest for fear of
the public diSnleaSnre.
