AN EXPECTED VERDICT.

That Mrs. George should be acquit-
ted of the charge of numbering the man
who deceived and deserted her was
expected by every one with any knowl-
edge of human nature. The only won
der is that the verdict was not return
ed more promptly. 1t doubtless would
have been if some of the jury had not
desired to spend more time squaring
their feelings and sympathies with a
conscientious performance of their
sworn duty as jurors.
Of course, as to Mrs. Georges guilt
or innocence, that is, to some extent,
another question. While the defense
produced sufficient evidence to enable
the jury to salve over its conscience in
acquitting her with the possibility of
doubt as to whether she did the deed
yet it is altogether probable that nine
people out of ten had no real doubt
from the evidence that she killed Sax
ton.
There seems to be an unwritten law
governing the decision of juries in
cases OF wronged women such as this
Male juries will very rarely convict in
these cases. What female jury might
do in the premises is another question
The fact remains that men will Judge
a woman leniently and will never pun
ish her if they can help it.
Whether this is right and Just or not
it is SO. And we have yet to hear of
any popular clamor that it should be
otherwise

STOP TALKING AND ACT.

The tide of public Indignation against
the recent granting of the electric light
franchise seems to be rising rather
than receding. The full flavor of this
outrageous sacrifice of the public in
terest in the interest of private
money making corporation appears to
be just reaching the public palate and
on all sides denunciation of the act is
severe and unqualified.
This is all right and proper enough
as far as it goes, but the Register
would suggest that the time for talk
and idle denunciation has passed
What we want now is action to see il
the rights of the people may not yet be
preserved intact despite the act OF
Council
Denunciation of the newspapers for
permitting" the outrage is foolish and
unjust. Until the act was accom-
plished the newspapers had no knowl-
edge of what Council would do Fur
s>~>@ -A-O ~
is a power in the land it's criticisms
seem to have little weight with the
present Council.
Neither will denunciation of the
shrewd gentlemen who secured the
franchise now avail. 1t is human ma
ture to wish to get something for
nothing, and that is what these gentle
men succeeded in doing when they
worked their electric light franchise sc
Sticky through Council.
As the Register has said, the time
for talk and lurid denunciation has
passed and the time to act is at hand
Or il indignant citizens must give vent
to their indignation, suppose they turn
their batteries from the newspapers
against their members Of Council. who
Wheeling register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1878-1935, 1899-04-29

have been educated in the higher insti-
tutions of the South not one has been guil-
ty OF the crime of assaulting a woman.
This is the key to the solution of the
race problem. If Northern politicians
would give their honest aid toward re-
leasing the Southern negro from the
thralldom of his dense ignorance in
stead of trying to array him politically
against his best friend, the Southern
white man, great good would be ac-
complished. 1t is a duty that devolves
not upon the South alone-although
that section alone has hitherto borne
the burden and borne it nobly-but up
on the whole nation.

subscribers to fund to defray the ex-
penses Of injunction proceedings to
prevent the carrying out OF the act Of
Council in granting this franchise? It
must be remembered that acts alone
will avail now. The citizens should
leave no stone unturned in the effort
to recover the valuable right which
Council gave away so easily, for 1t
means much to the city. Electricity is
the light OF the future even more than
it is of the present, and II the city
gives the right of manufacture and
sale to private corporation it means
the dead loss of our costly gas works
and the return Of the city once more
to the thraldom of private ownership
in a branch of public service which
Wheeling was among the very first OF
American cities to place under munich
pal control and ownership. To relin-
quish that right now would be a long
and sorry step to the rear in these days
when the country at large is just
awakening to the necessity of public
ownership of public utilities.
Will the people of Wheeling help
themselves and see what injunction
proceedings will do? In the event of
the failure of such proceedings we still
1t may aid us to recover the sover
eign right which this unspeakable
Council has given away for even less
than mess of potage.
Meanwhile, suppose we stop talking
and ACT.

The latest effort of the Filipinos to
secure a cessation of hostilities appears
to have practically amounted to moth
ing, the American commander declin-
ing to recognize the Filipino Congress
to which it was proposed to submit the
question of surrender on behalf of the
Filipino people
1t will be well for our government to
not place too much reliance in Fill
pine sincerity. These Asiatics are born
diplomats and intrigue and deception
is a part of their training While it
is true that they have met nothing
but a series of disastrous defeats at
the hands Of the gallant American
troops, yet the fighting has covered but
an infinitessimal portion of the island
of Luzon, not to mention the great
archipelago outside of Luzon, of which
the natives have possession. 1t would
be strange if the United States have
thus accomplished in a few months and
with a comparatively small and unac-
climated army what Spain was unable
to do in centuries.
1t is not improbable that these peace
overtures have been made but as a ruse
the crafty F'ilipinos see in the move.
