THE TRUSS VERDICT.

The trial of a man for his life before u
single judge has probably never occurred
in tie history of the criminal record of this
county, before the case of Truss which has
just eliminated in verdict of murder in
the first degree.
The fact is not to be disguised, that
public confidence, in that traditional bull
wark of personal liberty-the trial by a
jury OF twelve men-has been seriously
disturbed of late years, by many palpable
miscarriages ofjustice So many guiltyrogues
have escaped the meshes of the law
through the adroitness OF counsel in play
ing upon the feelings and misplaced SYM
pathies of impressionable jurymen, that it
has almost growh into an axiom, that if u
man is guilty be seeks a jury trial, if he is
innocent he goes before the court.
The election of Truss therefore to be
tried by the court, raised in the minds of
those uniformed of the evidence against
him, a presumption OF his innocence, which
the evidence adduced in court, purely cir
cumstantial as it was, rudely dispelled
The public felt and appreciated the grave
responsibility put upon Judge Wickes,
when unforeseen circumstances imposed
on him the sole hearing Of the case.
But the confidence of the public in J ud.c
Wickes' patient, impartial and purely
judicial hearing and consideration of the
evidence. was worthily bestowed. Not a
single issue OF law. or Of testimony was
excepted to by the defendants counsel
With the most Conscientious fairness he
gave the facts adduced before him the
closest after ton, and accorded them IT,.
strctest legal and judicial interpretation
Intelligent sentiment throughout the
county upquestonably sustains the YER
diet imposed on this unfortunate man, iut
the life of society depends upon the speedy
and untlinching execution of the law.

THE BOOTH WOMEN.

Another daughter of the house OF Booth
has made her appearance in this country
with orders from her father. the old ren-
eral to unite with her sister Eva is bring
ing their refractory sister, Mrs Ballington
Booth, to terms This bright and interest
ing young woman probably holds the key
after all, to the Salvation Army problem.
She is brighter, more magnetic and more
forceful than her husband although he ia
by no means man OF small powers-and
the great success of the American Saliva
tonists, if analysed closely, would prob
ably be found to be due more to her than to
him. If she shall hold out against the
persuasion and entreaties of her sisters, it
will be pretty hard for the willy old gen
eralissimo to restore unity to the shattered
end of his wonderful army. The female
Booths are all remarkable women, and il
the new corners are as bright and tactful
as Mrs. Ballington, it will be an interest
ing struggle for supremacy which will
follow.

FIGURING ON ST. LOUIS.

The New York "Herald." after can.
vass of the Republican politicians through
out the country, makes an estimate of the
probable situation at St Louis on the 10th
of June, or when the first ballot is taken in
the Republican national convention.
The ''Herald 81 computation, which
assigns to Mckinley the delegates actually
elected in his interest beyond question
who already number 16G-and which is
based on reasonably sure outcomes of the
conventions that have not yet elected dele
gates gives Mckinley 1893 votes, Reed, l52
Morton, Quay, Allison and Cnllom, 2O7,
and doubtful, 1913.
1t will be seen from these figures that
Mckinley is likely to be within sixty two
votes of nomination on the first ballot on a
conservative estimate, and all the fair and
trustworthy figuring that has been done
elsewhere agrees substantially with the
"Herald's" conclusion
The field and the doubtful delegates may
he strong enough to defeat Mckinley before
he can get 455 votes, but the field has
never entered Republican convention,
with the exception of the convention OF
1892, With a less promising prospect than
it now has OF heading off the leader in tie

a popular vote of constitutional amend
ment on this subject affords an opportunity
for the Inauguration of a campaign Of edu-
cation that must ultimately be crowned
with success. The assessment bill, the
most practical legislation of the session, and
which at one time threatened to be the
most dangerous and disastrous, has fortu-
nately been shorn of several of its worst
features and, while still far from an ideal
measure, is deprived of much of its power
for harm by the supplemental bills passed
on Monday.

The Assessment Bill.

On Friday of last week the Governor sent
special message to tho Legislature asking
the modification OF the bill in several pnrti-
culars, and it was generally believed that I'M
less this was done he would withhold his
signature and defeat the measure He OF =
jected to the taxation OF mortgages. but did
not make this an ultimatum. Supplemental
bills were enacted which embodied the other
suggestions made by tho Governor, and they
were signed along with the main assessment
bill.
These bills make the following important
changes in she assessment bill MS passed by
the Legislature.

laws OF this State are assessed and taxed ac-
cording to plan devised and suggested by
Mr.. b. II. Newcomer. Of Baltimore All bonds

value and upon that valuation there is to be
paid the full State tax. whatever it may be.
Cat present 17$I cents on the hundred dol
lars and an additional tax of 30 cents on the
hundred dollars for local purposes. The tax
for local purposes is to be uniform over the
State, so that the resident of the city will not
have to pay any greater tx upon his bonds
than the resident of the counties
Under this supplemental bill, to illustrate
its operation, a bond assessed at 81, 900 will
pay State tax of 81 77ls and an additional
tax OF 80 for city or county purposes, as the
case may be. The total tax, therefore. on a
$1,000 bond. valued at par, will be 81 ~.
