MINNEAPoLIs MARKET.

MINNEAPOLIS, Sept. 2S-An advance of
a full cent in dairy extras was the only i'm
portant occurrence in butter this morning.
Creamery extras and firsts are in good de-
mand by jobbers at quotations. There is a
moderate shipping call and some inquiry
from retailers. Medium and low grade diaries
are cleaning up well at quotations. Ladies
and packing stock are firm and wasted. Eggs
possess a firm tone, owing to liberal buying
on the part of jobbers and retailers. Some
handlers are getting quite a number of or
ders from non-producing districts. Receipts
are not very large, and the market is in ex-
celent condition to sell on. Live poultry is
unchanged in price from yesterday. Hens and
springs are in good demand and cleaning up
quickly at quotations. Turkeys are scarce
and moderately firm. Ducks and geese are
sow and easy. Veal is firm and wanted.
Receipts are light. Mutton and lamb are
moving readily at quotations. Dressed hogs
are rather firm, with most stock readily dis
posed Of

EDITORIAL.
A WORD ON THE TRIAL.

During the trial in progress last
week, it was the subject of frequent
remark that all classes and condi-
tions of society jostled each other to
obtain a vantage point of view, and
displayed an eagerness that no word
of the testimony should escape their
ears.
We cannot of course dissect the
motives which prompted this un-
usual interest, and might unfairly
assign them were we to attempt to
do so. For those who went with a
desire or intention of reaping scme
benefit by following the methods of
procedure, marking the manner of
conducting the trial, examining the
mental processes involved, or study
ing the phases of character as por-
trayed and developed by the wit
nesses or the prisoner, the lessons
learned if in any wise in line with
the pursuit of the listener, or as Civ =
ing a broader more comprehensive
view of human nature, or develop
ing any faculty, or preparing for a
more realistic study of crime in it's
phases, so that lessons as to the bet
ter methods OF counteracting it
might be learned. there might have
been profit. All such would have
the strength of mind and force of
character not to receive impressions
which would be of injury. The ini-
guilty revealed would but shock
and repel. Those who were present
out of morbid curiosity, a desire for
sensationalism, or any other motive
not rising to the level of desire to
be in in some way benefited OF
gaining that which might be of
value, would better have remained
away. The whole tendency of a re-
violation of crime particularly of
such high character can have only a
debasing influence on minds not
well fortified to resist the impress
sions given. The audience at the
Schultz trial too often resembled an
assemblage of people drawn thithel
TO observe a play and TO be enter
tanned and amused. There did not
seem to be a realization that sol
emn, fearful tragedy was being en-
acted, in which the deepest passion.
and basest motives formed thu
groundwork and tissue.
What possible interest of lauda
BILE nature young ladies could hav'
in listening for hours at time to I
recital Of crime is hard to conceive
Such trials when promiscuously at
tended, must necessarily blunt ths
sensiBilities and harden the hearts
of a community. We may rejoice a
their infrequency in our county.

pected to make the leading argument,

empted by the surrogate when the will
