not render verdict for the pri.

When the accused willingly sub

have always been fair and honora-
BILE, and who would suffer injury
rather than do injustice to a pri-
soner on trial for his life or any
offense, the intent of the allega-
tions or insinuations are manifest
ly absurd.
1t is serious question to try
a man for his life, and still more
serious is it to kill a man, but
while the dead cannot appear in
court, the living at the bar should
have every reasonable facility and
opportunity for a defense, which
may result in his acquittal.
The victim, however, being in
his grave cannot confront his slay-

tages of the State and the privi-
leges accorded him through which
he secures ali acquittal Oh techni-
though the proof of guilt
be manifest against him.
There is frequently too much
scope and latitude given the de-
tense which do not comport with
equity and justice. Trials by
Jury were instituted to protect
and secure every man a defense

The Republican press is now
busy applauding a statement made
a short time ago by John S. Wise.
former member of Congress and
citizen of Virginia, to the effect
that the present uncertainty about
the tariff is worse than abOut
trade. But there is no uncertain
ty about the tariff as the Republi-
can press is well aware. The
chairman of the House committee
on ways and means and other De-
mocratic leaders from President
Cleveland down, have announced
in very plain terms that the inten-
ton of the present Democratic
Congress is to prepare a tariff bill
for revenue only. The work on
the bill has already commenced.
and so sure and well satisfied are
the largest manufacturers of the
country that the tariff duties are
going to be reduced to the lowest |
possible figure that they are re-,
luesting Congress to report and
pass the bill as soon as possible,
50 that they may know how to
arrange their business affairs to
meet the change. There is no un-
certainty whatever about the
arif. The McKinly bill is going
o be wiped out and that is all
here is about it. States.

Trials BY Jury.

In many sections of the country
trials by jury are regarded some
what like judicial farce, in which
the accused play the part of an
injured hero.
Seemingly the purpose to Sc
cure fair and impartial trial, a
square deal as it were, is the least
of the desire of the accused, who.
however, is made to pose for effect
rs a martyr about to be sacrificed
to appease public sentiment, as
alleged, aroused against law brea-
kers, murderers and cut-throats.
As rule the pretended inno-
cence of the accused is made pro-
minent in keeping with the
amount he or his friends can
afford to pay for the best endea-
vors to keep his neck from the
halter or relieve him from term
in the pcnitentiary.
1t is wonder, however, that it
is alleged, thoughtlessly perhaps,
hat justice will not be meted out

Our National Flower.

Ever since Abraham Lincoln ex.
pressed the opinion that the mule
and not the eagle, should be the
National emblem, because the
mule has been an important fac
tor in the development of the
country, the suggestion has caused
more or less discussion, but de-
spite the fact that Lincoln array
ed himself on the side of the mule
the eagle bird still remains a
prime favorite, and is destined to
keep his roost on the upper edge
OF our coat of arms as long as this
glorious republic exists. This
much can be regarded as settled,
but now the question of Nation
al flower has been raised, and our
esteemed contemporary, the Chi
cago Herald, declares that moth
ing could be more appropriate
than the cabbage, known in polite
society as the brassica oleracea.
1t argues that the cabbage fou-
rishes in every State of the Union
and is equally favored in all. The
States agrees with the Herald, and
will venture the assertion that SO
far as beauty is concerned it can
hold its own with the thistle of
Scotland, the shamrock of Ire
land and the cactus of Mexico, and
when the matter of perfume is
considered it can knock them all
silly.
Those who are willing to do
battle in behalf of the cabbage as
the National flower should not
fail to mention in their arguments
the fact that the cabbage has been
identified with this country ever
since the land of the pilgrims,
and perhaps before, and has gone
hand in hand with the sturdy
pioneers, who conquered and set
tied the wild and savage West.
1t is the nOurishment, the comfort
and the joy of millions living, as I
It has been of millions of dead, 1
md generations yet unborn, will I
sing its praise in ripping song c
md dulcet verse.
Who be he SO stupid that he
loes not know the strength and
he cheer that the cabbage gave
o our forefathers as they carved
n empire out of the tangled wild
rness. How when at MONDAY
the harvest field its delicate in
ense escaping from the kitchen b
'indow was borne to them by the a
emile breeze, and as they inhaled a
yearned for the sound of the a
inner horn they knew would I'll
'on awaken the echoes of the ad- I'll

as the handmade of civilization, ty
II even the fierce savage, when ca
rought under the influence of its cl

lrous life and fell into the ways m

Board of Appeals of the Trotting Associa-
zion.
In one of the running races, on Thurs
day, Red Elm, owned by Harry Rose, of
Gloucester, was struck in the nose with
the butt end of whip by Jockey Cole.
and forced against the fence. The owner
entered a protest, justly claiming a foul,
but Judge Martin, for some unaccountable
reason, overruled the objection. The
judge stated, however, that he would
not allow Cole TO re-enter the race, but,
just the same, the jockey appeared in the
next and subsequent heats. The blow
inflicted on Red Elm caused the animals
nose to bleed freely and started the fool
ish reports that he had bursted blood
vessel or had had hemorrhage. Several
papers went so far as to state that the
animal had died. When the horse was
forced against the fence he received a cut
on the hind leg, and the jockey, Harry
Manlove, had his foot severly injured,
compelling him to withdraw from the
races for the balance of the week Red
Elm ran again in the races on Friday,
when the owner once more entered pro-
test, this time against giving the race to
the winner, Delusion, on the ground that
the animal had not been entered until
Thursday, which was against the rules.
Mr. Rose was again overruled by Judge
Martin, but he has put in written pro-
test TO the Directors of the Society.
Among the prominent visitors on the
grounds on Thursday were Governor
Werts and staff, who came down from
Trenton to Burlington on Colonel A. r.
Kuser's steam yacht Chelsea, and from
that city to Mount Holly by cars. Colonel
John T. Van Cleef and John Kuser, of

A Serious Case.

Mary Parker, aged II years, lies at the
point of death, at the residence of her
father, Ephraim Parker, on Church street,
the victim of an operation performed by
Philadelphia doctor.
The case was first given light by DR.. j
w Branin, who was called In after the
operation, and, fearing the girl was about
to die took steps toward securing those re-
sponsible for her condition. Finding that
she had been to Philadelphia in COM
pany with Mrs. Whital Monroe, of Pine
street, that lady was called upon, and
after some little hesitation she told
enough to tasten the crime upon DR..
Zoelner, of 243 North Fifth Street, Phila-
delphia.
Mrs. Monroe was put under bail to be
held as witness in case she should be
wanted, but as the crime was not COM
mitted in this state, of course the proceed
ing was irregular. However, on Thurs
day, she went to Philadelphia with DIR.
Branin, and appeared before Magistrate
Clement, who issued warrant for Zoel-
ners arrest. The doctor was taken into
custody and was committed without bail
for further hearing on Thursday.
To Magistrate Clement, Mrs. Monroe
stated that she had gone with Mary Par
ker only after repeated and urgent re-
quests of the latter, who refused all advice
to marry. and said she was bound to go
and have the deed performed.
The magistrate asked Mrs. Monroe how
she came to know of DIR. Zoelner, and was
told that she knew of him through lady
relative who had been directed to go
there by doctor in Mount Holly whose
name she at first refused to divulge, but,
upon being pressed, gave the name of DIR.
Galley.
This physician, in card in the Phila-
delphia Times, of Sunday, denies any con-
nection with this case, and says he does
not know the girls and-never saw them nor
advised them. Mrs. Monroe says this is
true, but that she gained the information
as stated.
A representative of THE News saw Mrs
Monroe yesterday. She was very much
worried over the notoriety she had gained,
but talked very freely and seemed to have
no desire to conceal anything. She re-
proaches herself very much to think she
allowed her heart and her sympathies to
be worked upon to the detriment of her
better judgment And, in fact, this seems
to have been the extent of her share in
the matter, as the sick girl has frequently
told that Mrs. Monroe only consented to
go with her after finding that all attempts
to dissuade her were useless.
Magistrate Clement said the police had
been watching Zoelner for some time, and
it is probable the hearing on Thursday
will be very interesting. He was arrested
some time since for completely in another
case in this neighborhood, but the affair
was hushed up upon the payment of a
large sum of money.
