CZOLGOsZ.

The plea of guilty made by Czolgosz
on his trial at Buffalo was a frank adj
mission by him of his knowledge that
there was no legal defence that he
could offer for his crime. But plain as
were the circumstances attending TIE
murder of the president and great as is
the horror that is felt because of it,
Anglo-Saxon jurisprudence does not
allow the Court to accept from any
man plea of guilty where the crime Is
or may be punishable by death. A
plea of not guilty was entered for
Ozolgosz and the trial proceeded. So
she assassin had all his rights and
privileges to the last.
In the majesty of this proceeding
there ought to be lesson of right and
justice to the wretched tribe to which
this murderer belongs.

The lawyers who defended Czolgosz
were experienced and competent, and
their reputation is such that it was not
necessary for them to resort to petty
flying to gain notoriety Thus the re
suit: speedy justice melted out to the
Presidents slayer.

SOUTHERN RAILROAD DEVELOP
MENT.

The recent second annual session al
Asheville, N. G. of Southern Railroad
Commissioners was attended by the
representatives of the twelve Southern
States. as recently as 1885 the rail
roads of the six southern Atlantic States
of Virginia, North and South Carolina,
West Virginia, Georgia and Florida,
carried in year only one-third as
muche freight as was carried in the
same periods in the single State Of
Pennsylvania, and at the same time the
passenger earnings of the railroads OF
,these six States with Alabama, Missis-
sippi, Tennessee, Kentucky, Louisiana
and Arkansas added, had, even at the
higher passenger rates charged in the
: South, smaller earnings from passenger
traffic collectively than the SIX States

BY the last report of the Interstate
Commerce Commissioners, it was shown
that of the three States which stood at
the head of the list in recent railroad
building, two, Georgia and Arkansas,
were in the South, and at the present
time Georgia has more than double
the railroad mileage of Massachusetts,
and Arkansas three times as much as
Connecticut. Alabama has nearly one
half the railroad mileage of New York,
and even North Carolina, long laggard
State in railroad development, has a
total mileage per cent. greater than
that of New Jersey, in many parts OF
which the railroads constitute almost
net work of lines Undoubtedly the
phosphate interests of the South have
had much 70 do with the improvement
of the railroad service In Southern
States, and the development of new
market in the West for the fruit pro-
ducts of the lower Mississippi Valley
has been a contributing cause, too.
But the railroad growth in Southern
a. is ascribable to no single cause.
In due to a better understanding of
illlI uirements of these States and to

The dog catcher is as omnipreeent as
a newspaper reporter. He is everywhere
and every place at the same time and
the boys who follow his cart are as per-
sistent ropers as you could find ON the
ranges.
1t has leaked out that q number OF
boys are doing o little speciality of their
own which is proving disastrous to dogs,
and dogs. teo, that wear collars. The
boys entice the licensed dogs from their
homes and take their collars off. They
sell the collars. the dog.catcher gets the
dog and the two bits which 60 with it,
and thus the business is kept alive and
in fourishing condition. The boys
make a good profit on their work, bat
they will soon be caught and placed in
the new reform school which 10 now be-
ing built for them at Benson.
The dog-catcher is an innocent party !;
he doesn't know whether dog ever wore
a collar or not, but the fact. that he does
not wear one when he is caught sight of
is enough. The previous condition OF the
dog does not enter into the transaction
at all.
