The Good Work of Reform.

President Roosevelt is the most mpor-
tant factor now in asserting the republic
can plank of civil service reform. His
policy has pretty ,ffectually ended
Addeks in Delaware, and it may yet
have depressing Influence on Quay
Platt already being in diminished evil
dence-indeed having done himself
proud In promoting Lows election in
Greater New York city. The London
papers we'll say that President Roose-
velt's position gives reformers every
where great cheer. For example, the
Spectator SAYS President Roosevelt
term of office will benefit the whole
world, for the condition of American
cities is at present an opprobrium to
liberalism everywhere. The people
there are really free, and, say all the
reactionaries, "look at the men they
elect and the crimes they sanction or
condone! The best-governed city in
America, by universal consent, is Wash
ington, administered by nominated,
paid commission" The New York
union has rescued several counties in
New York from corrupt bossism. The
reform work elsewhere thus will be
greatly promoted even as far north as
the oggn.-Lewiston journal.

The Trial.

The trial of Alexander Terrio for the
killing of Matthias Pare, that began
Tuesday morning the 9Th instant and
closed Tuesday afternoon the 18th, was
the absorbing topic of interest and con-
versation in our town during the time 1t
continued. We have attempted to give in
the columns of the REPORTER, last week
and this, brief history IF the case with
an abstract of the opening statements of
counsel on each side, leading points of
the testimony of each witness and a
general report of the case as it pro-
crossed.
A weekly paper is necessarily limited
in space and we are unable to give the
arguments of the counsel and the charge
of the presiding Justice, or even an ade.
quate abstract of them. 1t is not neces-
sary for US to say they were able and
comprehensive. The distinguished attor.
neys of great forensic attainments,
learned in the law and of extensive ex-
perience, put their very best work into
the case, not only at the trial but III its
preparation.
Judge Emery took occasion in his
charge to comment upon the thorough
trial of the case by the counsel on
each side and upon the high grade OF
detective work performed by the sheriff
and his deputies engaged in this work.
They certainly put large amount of
effective work into the case.
The presiding justice brought his ex.
perience OF many years on the Supreme
bench to the prompt and thorough ex-
animation of the case with the best
effect. Not an exception was taken to
any ruling in the entire case.
The law requires the county to pay
the expenses Of the trial of a man accus-
ed of murder and to see that he has
every facility to defend The charges
brought against him. The respondent
in this case bad, as we understand it,
attorneys of his own choice and there
were no restrictions upon the number
/ Of witnesses summoned, whether expert
or otherwise. The trial was a thorough
one, conducted with great care, pa
tenee and marked ability by everyone
4 connected Herewith.
There was considerable surprise among
some who had given attention to the
case, as the trial progressed, at the ver-
dictrendered. This, we think, was large
4 y because the casual observer was not inn
pressed with the force of the evidence
. presented and testimony given for the
State, relative to the microscopic exami-
nations of firing pins and shells. This
evidence appears to have been an import.
ant factor in the case.
