No Verdict.

The jury in the pulp-mill case at
Hagerstown failed to agree favor
ing conviction, ! acquittal.
This is just one step short of com
plete triumph for common sense, live
and-let-live, and industrial develop
ment-just one step short of an over
whelmirg vindication of the fact that
the people are not YET ready to agree
that one community has the right to
reduce, even by law, the interests,
welfare and future of another COM
munity to nihilism.
For this result great credit is due to
the interchangeable, intelligent, skillful
and eloquent counsel for the defense,

AEactIOnal Prize-FIght.

A vast number of people regard the
ratification Of the treaty as triumph
for Mr. Bryan and a corresponding de-
feat for Mr.. German.
The former, from the outside, adj
vised ratification the latter, on the
inside, contested it.
There is ample ground for believing
that trial of strength was brought on
by Mr.. German, beginning with bis
knowledge of Mr.. Bryan's interference.
The trial was met by Mr.. Bryan 5
friends.
The result is known.
By patriots of all parties all over the
country the issue was and is still re-
garded as involving the life of the re-
public.
But Messrs Bryan and German held
that it was an occasion which i'll the
providence of fractional politics came
about to determine "tne survival OF
the fit" for leadership of an already
disunited party.
No patriotic sentiment inspired nor
statesmanlike policy moved them.
Each was for self-promotion, no
matter if the devil finally got the
country.
And now, while followers of Bryan
are worshipping at the shrine of sue
cess and dependents Of German still
hang to his skirts in the wailing-piace
of defeat, it is of such gods the follow
