CInrk's New Trial

The trial OF E. Q. CLARK on the new
charge of being accssary to the murder
of W. q. BOYD after the fact, began
Tuesday, A special venlre Of iifty jur-
ors was summoned for the occasion
from nearly every part OF the comfy.

aud Clyde POstthwait are here ready
again to give their testimony against
Clark and have been ever since this
term OF court Eegan. Without ex-
pressing anything ~ to Clarks deserts
we may say that never thief or mur
derer was confronted with worse array
Of witnesses.
On Monday morning the attorneys
for Clark argued q demurrer to the evil
dence claiming It was insufficient to
hold him on the 'harge made. The at
torneys contended that to be accessory
after the fact Clark must have given
personal assistance TO Harry Postleth-
walt in helping him to Escape, that the
law says this assistance must cOnsist In
giving the murderer money or In some
way helping him to escape. They
claimed that under the law II Clark
helped carry the body from the room
and assisted in removing other traces
Of the crime, it would not make Clark
accessory The attorneys for the State
replied and the judge held with them.
They proceeded Tuesday morning with
the work of empanneling the jury.
The jury was secured much quicker
than usual. Only twenty-four were ex-
amined and at eleven o'clock the Jury
was empanneled. The jury to try the
case is composed of the following per-
sons r, /. Murphy, G j. Sutherland,
Eli Wisby, G r.. WinSor, I. B. Lea

visited at a late hour, during the past
week, with inquirers who want to know
whether reports current on the street
are true or false. 1t Is not a pleasant

From a Fighters Standpoint.

& ERIoUs as the matter is, deeply
H as it involves the welfare of
the American people and of
mankind, much of the reasoning by
which Mr.. McKinley's Philippine policy
IS sought to be upheld, is nothing short
of ludicrous.
The Standard has heretofore given
many samples. and some of General
Funston's augmentation forms a fit
ting complement. For example, he
says that independence" for the Fill
pinos would simply mean that Agun-
aldo would be dictator. General Fun
ston is doubtless good fighter, but the
remark ascribed to him proves that he
either does not understand the Philip
pine question in its broad sense. or
that he is artfully concealing the real
issue.
The independence" which the Fill
pinos, including Aguinaldo, have asked
for is independence under an American
protectorate. Everybody familiar with
the character of the Fiipinos credits
them with a high degree of intelligence,
and they-that is the leading men
among them-know full we'll that the
United States would never protect a
dictatorship in the islands. The ac-
ceptance of an American protectorate
by the natives would put the United
States in a position of commanding in
f1uence, and enable it to determine very
largely what kind of a government the
Islands should have.
The general also says hat there would
be rebellion against Aguinaldo's rule
Quite likely there would be, and if he as
sumed the powers of a permanent die
tator. there ought to be. But with the
people in rebellion and the United
States also against his dictatorship.
Aguinaldo's finish would certainly not
be long delayed.
Then the general argues, or rather
asserts, that the masses of the people
may or may not be true; but if true 1t
is equally SO of many other people who
have a government OF their own. There
are millions of people even in the Unit
ed States who would make sorry work
of governing themselves without SUI
perior intelligence to guide them. If
there is an element among the Fill
pinos sufficiently numerous and intel
ligent to establi and maintain gov
eminent, there is no valid reason why
they should not be permitted to try

course of two miles in about seventeen
minutes. Moreover, she made the COM

mitted slaves of the South, not one in
ten of whom could read or write. an
act which for number of years placed
the state governments Of South Caro-
lima, Florida, Mississippi, Louisiana
and perhaps some other states in the
hands Of the most ignorant portion OF
the population, should be the last po-
earth to raise the question of the fit
ness of the Filipinos to govern them
selves. According to republican doe
trine the freedmen Of the South were
not only competent to govern them
selves, but their former masters as
well, and to help govern the entire
country. The same party now holds
that the Filipinos are not even fit to
govern themselves in their own distant
islands, and makes it an excuse for
"forcible annexation" a cause which
in his younger and purer days Presi-
dent Mckinley declared to be "crimi-
nal aggression
We will notice just one more point in
General Funston's views. He says that
when the Filipinos become convinced
that Aguinaldo can not win they will
lay down their arms and become peace
full. IT does not seem to occur to the
general that if the Filipinos should be-
come dissatisfied with Aguinaldo, they
might resort to the expedient Of choos-
ing some one else rather than sur
render their independence. No people
in the world ever yet acknowledged its
unfitness for self-government, and no
people ever will. Submission to a su-
perior power may be enforced at the
point of the bayonet, but that does not
make it right. It is evident that Gen
eral Funston looks at the whole aues-
ton from the standpoint Of a fighter.

The Submarine Torpedo Boat.

~ HE official reports OF the navy
officers who tested the subma-
rine torpedo boat Holland are
enthusiastic in it's praise. The tests
comprised running on the surface and
under the water, diving and torpedo
firing, and they were all very success
full. The builder of the boat tried to
induce the government to use it in the
Spanish American war. but the navy
department was incredulous and in the
rush of business would not stop to
make an examina ton.
To test the boat thoroughly more
over, was, on the face of it, hazard
Gus undertaking. The investigators
who staid on board while she was
roaming around the bottom of the sea,
did not know what desperate chances
they might be taking. They had only
the inventors assurance that she
would make the trip with safety, and
for aught they knew he might be a
visionary dreamer. The machinery
might get out of order or some acct
dent that he had not foreseen in his
where would they be? 1t was test
of bravery as we'll as of the submarine
torpedo boat.
France has several vessels of the
kind, although not built on the same
model, and her experiments with them
are said to have been satisfactory. The
Holland boat is vast Improvement on
anything France has in stock, and that
our government acting on the official
report of the board of inspection and
survey, will order number of Hol-
lands and make them a feature of the
American navy, is now certain. OBJ
Tiously they are the battleship's most
terrible enemies, for, if they are ca
pable of doing all that is claimed for
them, there is really no defense against
them. In our war with Spain, the or
binary torpedo boat made poor show
ing. Both at Manila and Santiago, the
Spaniards sent torpedo boats after our
men-of-war, but the fine craftsmanship
of the American sunners riddled them
in short order. There is wisdom in the
words of Captain Lowe. one of the IN
Vestgators, when he says; TT seems
to me quite necessity that this gov
ernment should not allow the skill and
knowledge of those owning and run
ming the Holland boat to pass out of
its own hands from native to foreign
lands, but should forestau such a cat
astrophe by at once purchasing the
Holland and putting the Holland peo-
pie under some ban whereby they will
be prevented from disclosing secrets

refused, as republican, to vote for W.

spect. to the taking of testimony, both
sides would reach conclusion yester-

If the testimony reaches its finish to-
day and if it turns out that the case
is submitted without speeches by the
lawyers, the end of the fortnight will
