The trial of Roland MolineuX in New
York for murder is estimated to be about
one-eighth through. 1t has lasted more
than two weeks. Two witnesses only have
testified, nevertheless the stenographer
has taken down more than 100000 words
in the record. At the present rate, the
record viii amount to more than 100000
words which would fill several thousand
columns of the average daily newspaper.
The cost of the case to the taxpayers will
amount to tens of thousands of dollars.
The same case could probably be disposed
of in the court of a country circuit in one
tenth the time, and for one-twentieth the
cost, and the ends of justice would be as
fully met as they will be in the New York
court Smart lawyers are making their
fees in the case.

Charleston is preparing to ''enjoy" q
prize fight between two one-legged pugi-
lists. 1t is announced that they are
training regularly, and viii put up a good
fight" So far as the information goes.
there is no suggestion that the'police will
interfere in the proposed mill, but il is i'm
possible that so decent and orderly a city
as Charleston would permit of anything
so unseemly and disgusting as two Grip
pied men pummeling each other for the
gate receipts. The two crippes may be
toughs, and deserve each a good beating,
but that is no reason why there should
be a public and degrading exhibition OF
their toughness and brutality.

Bide Your Time.

From the Denver News
When fortune treats you slightingly
And everything goes wrong,
Remember that you still are free
To labor and be strong.
To him who brayely does his part
Misfortune is no crime,
Just hold your grip and keep up heart
And learn to bide your time.
The surest road to greatness lies
Through hard and patient work,
The glorious name that never dies
Comes not unto the shrk.
Fame sits upon an eminence,
A pinnacle sublime.
He who would win must seek her thence
Strive on and bide his time.
The man Of hope and energy,
Who keeps one goal In sight,
Who goes his way with constancy,
VIII some time win the fight.
The man whose life glory lends
To every age and Cline
Is he whose purpose never bends,
Who works and bides his time.
Go onward. Ger the futures hills,
The dawn falls cool and sweet.
Go onward. He can win who Wills
And bows not to defeat.
Go onward, though your path may lie
Through calumny and slime.
The way will brighten by and by.
Go on and bide your time.
And when the fight az last is DER,
The toll az last Is done:
When standing on LIES farther shore,
Beneath her setting sun;
Beyond the futures unbarred gate,
The bells OF heaven chime;
Ana justice. love and glory wait
For him who bldes his time.

II is rather curious commentary on the
peace congress that was held at The
Hague recently that no one of the Pow
ers is willing to offer to mediate between
the British and the Beers. The President
of the Boer republic has announced that
he would welcome mediation. In fact ne
wanted to arbitrate the differences be-
tween his government and that Of Great
Britain. But Great Britain doesn't want
mediation, and that. probably, is why there
is no offer Of 1t. But if Great Britain IA
vored IT, instead of the little Boer repub-
lie, would there not be a prompt offer OF
il? The chances are there would.

PRIVATE ARNOLD MAY STAND
TRIAL FOR MURDER.

has Been in Prison at Fort Thomas
since the Third Kentucky Was
Mustered Out-The Tragedy Which
Caused His Arrest-He Was Han
ding an old Springfield Which Is
Supposed to Have Been Fired Ac-
cidentaIIy-The Bail Killed Private
Ihlnt.
Private James H. Arnold Of Company !
of the Third Kentucky Regiment, charged
with the killing of a comrade, Herman
Hunt, while the regiment was in camp at
Savannah in May was brought to Sa-
vannah last night and lodged in Jail to
await the action Of the court.
Arnold was not mustered out with his
regiment, but was taken TO Fort Thomas,
Ky, where ne has been kept in confne-
ment. He arrived here on the Central
train in charge Of a sergeant Of the regu-
lar army. He is stin wearing his blue
soldier clothes, being still legally a mem
Der of the United States army. He is
nice-looking young fellow, and does not
have the appearance of a man who would
wilfully take the life of a comrade with
out cause.
II is not altogether certain that Arnold
will have to stand trial All the reports
of the affair, which occurred on May 6,
were TO the effect that the shooting was
accidental The only thing with which
Arnold could be charged, according TO
such evidence as was brought out at that
time, was criminal carelessness. He had
an old Spanish Remington, for which he
had traded in Cuba The lock of the gun
was in bad shape, but being something
of a locksmith, he undertook to put it in
order. Having done SO, as he thought
he slipped cartridge in to see how the
breech lock worked. That cartridge caus-
ed the death Of Hunt and severely wound
ed another Kentuckian named Allen,
Both men were taken TO the government
hospital, where Hunt died a day or two
after the shooting
As stated in The Morning News several
days ago, Solicitor General Osborne wrote
the witnesses whose names had been fur
nished him, requesting statements of their
knowledge of the affair The statements
which have been received so far would
not furnish sufficient evidence TO warrant
an indictment for murder
Arnold was sitting IN his tent, and the
bullet which proved fatal TO one of his
comrades and cost another an arm, went
through the wall of the tent The two
men, who were struck, were standing with
others in a group in the company street.
1t is hardly possible that Arnold could
have aimed the gun through the wall Of
the tent. Some of the non-commissioned
officers of the company had warned Ar
mold against handling the gun, and this
might possibly show criminal negligence
on his part.
