CIRCUMSTANTIAL EVIDENCE.

The execution of Harris, the wife
murderer, in Sing Sing prison, New
| York, the first of the week has not
| stopped the discussion, in the prints Of
the country, of the famous case, and the
very positive assertion of his innocence
up to the last moment of his life seems
to encourage those who have believed
him guiltless of the crime in denoUncing
his execution as judicial murder. These
base their conclusions upon the fact that
Harris was convicted wholly upon Cir
cumstantial evidence, and the conclu-
sions are, they think, reinforced by the
persistent denial by the accused Of his
guilt.
There are some people who would
answer, off-hand, in the negative, yet
who would not hesitate to pronounce a
verdict Of guilty on purely circum-
stantial evidence in a proper case. The
question is idle and foolish. Circum-
stantal evidence, when there is no
break or flaw in the chain, is the strong
est possible evidence. Witnesses may
be mistaken Or lie, but physical facts are
never mistaken and never lie. There
have been cases where men have been
falsely convicted on circumstantial EVIL
dence, but there are as many where con-
victions have been had on the most posi-
tive testimony of honest but mistaken or
perjured witnesses. When men have
been convicted Oh circumstantial evil
dence, the fault has been with the jury
who convicted on insufficient proof and
not on the character of the evidence. In
the worst cases of homicide circumstan-
tial evidence is the only possible evidence.
1t is easy for murderer to avoid eye
witnesses.
A man may murder his wife or his
roommate and no man see. He may
stab a man on the lonely highway, in
the dark or in some secret place where
there is no one but the murderer and his
victim. He may secretly mix poison in
glass of water, in food or in medicine.
The most stupid and bungling of crimi-
mails can and do take sufficient precau-
ton to make conviction on direct and
positive testimony impossible. If the
body of the victim could not speak: if
the track, the trail of blood, the bloody
instrument, the blood-stained clothes,
the previous preparation, the subsequent
fight, the possession OF personal effects
rifled from the dead body, ard number
less other circumstances binding the
murderer with an unbroken chain to the
body of his victim, If these were not
evidence, how could the worst and most
fendish murderers be punished?

The collector of the port of New York
declares his belief that the reason why
the balance of trade is against us today
is because Of the enlargement of the free
list IN the Mckinley law. The Mckinley
law made great many additions to the
free list-more than most people are
aware of. Consequently the imports to
this country OF articles which pay no
duty have been vastly increased since
the Mckinley law went into effect. This
Is fact that can be easily proven.
However. the free traders. or tariff re-
formers as they style themselves, are
not making use of the fact rs an argu-
ment in supper; of their theory.

SUNDAY OPENING.

The Atchison Champion copies the
EAGLES editorial or the Sunday Fair
and comments as follows, closing with
! a quota, lou from tie Philadelphia North
| American:
| The mistake made by those who insist
| that the fair shall be closed OH Sunday
partakes very largely Of the narrow and
unseemly bigotry manifested in TeHnes-
see where Seventh Day Baptists were
| imprisoned for working Oh Sunday,
| though they worshipped deyoutly on
Saturday. II keeping the fair closed on
Sunday would make people better the
case would be different, but the rule
mainly affects those the churches never
reach.
The Puritan age has passed away in
| America never to return. There Is 10
more harm III going from church to the
fair on Sunday than in going to the pub.
lie parks or to Sunday dinner WITH
| friends. The talk about boycottinG the
fair by the various church organizations
is arrant nonsense. The boycott Is
two-edged sword and in that case 1t
would cut both ways and cut deep.
Again, if the churches can say where
people shall not 90 on Sunday, they can
say where people shall go. The bottom
of the whole trouble is in the fact that
the preachers imagine they are IN part
nership with the state. They seek 10
control not only the church, but the
school, the homes and the people. They
forget that we now live upon the border
land of two centuries, and that the last
hundred years has served notice upon
prieStcraft that its baleful services IN
state affairs arc no longer needed. Tie
mission of the church is to help people
lead better lives, and not to drive them
or herd them as cattle. The ministry of
the church is grand and noble one bnt
when it publishes its manifestoes regu-
lating the acts of the individual citizen
outside the church, it has lost its power
as a ministry and has antagonIzed forces
1t cannot reach.
In speaking of the opening of the fair
on Sunday, the Philadelphia North
American of Saturday says:
"a vote of the people who have not
the leisure to visit such a spectacle on
working day. if taken, would open the
gates every day III the week. Sunday
was made for man, not man for Sunday.
Man is older than Sunday, and of much
more Importance than any day Of the
week The open fair will not deprive
any person of the privilege of worship.
II it were to do that the Sunday closing
question would be important. If the
public does not want to visit the fair on
Sunday the fact will soon come out; and
if the public does want tovisit it, and
does visit it, it has as much right to
spend the day there as anywhere. The
good people of this world are not always
wise. They sometimes mistake super
stition for religion and routine living for
morality. Let the people have their
way about visiting the fair any day Of
the week, for the spectacle will be IL
spring and instructive.

AND FREIGHT RATES

The shippers Ct the Pacific coast are
to have the benefits of a very lively
competition between transportation COM
panies. The Southern Pacific company
has undertaken to break down the new
North American Navigation company,
which recently commenced running its
steamers between San francisco and
Panama, in connection with steamers
connecting on the Atlantic side of the
isthmus and running to New York. In
furtherance of its scheme to do up the
navigation company, the railroad COM
panv has reduced its rates on such COM
modities as secured wool, WINE, borax
and rags to such low point that neither
by rail nor steamer can freights be
moved with any profit to the transport
tation companies. lt is a question
whether the navigation company has
substantial backing to enable it to carry
freight at a loss for any great length OF
time 1t may, however, have resources
and facilities behind it which the South
ern Pacific does not suspect.
The point Of greatest interest in this
connection TO the citizens Of this coun-
try, and particularly the west, is found
in the action of the railroad company in
cutting its rates to the extent and for
the purpose stated. If the road can
afford to do the business at the reduced
rates at all, it can afford to do it all the
fiu1n

This place, as you know Tor ought to
know, is the largest in the new country
opened one year ago. so great IN extent
that it takes two counties to hold it, viz:
Kingfsher and Canadian. Some of the
many new things it contains is grain
elevator, a Catholic church, a brick
hotel, brckyard, and numerous resi-
dences. The country around about is
the richest in Oklahoma. 1t is settled
with a thrifty, intelligent class of people,
who are making rapid strides in devel-
oping its resources. Crops of all kinds
are looking very fine and promising, and
with the abundant rains we are having
there can be no doubt of bountiful
crop.
The EAGLE. the only daily to reach us
on publication day, is sought after and
read by all our citizens who desire to
keep posted on the news of the day.
