The Assassln's Trial.

The trial of the assassin of President
Mckinley has been decorous and has
proceeded with exemplary speed. The
creature has been found guilty of muir
der in the first degree. The trial was
in strict accordance with law. Two
attorneys of the highest respectability
were assigned to the defense. Be-
cause there was no long drawn out and
disgusting contest over the assassin's

The State Game Laws.

The agricultural department has pre-
pared digest of the game laws of the
several States for 1901, which will be
issued in the form of pamphlet. Last
spring amendments to the game laws
were enacted by the Legislatures Of
nearly all the States, and numerous
changes were made. The departmelt
says:
Experience has shown that while
much stress is laid on close seasons,
comparatively little importance is at
tached to violations OF other provisions

same general features, was wonderful
exhibition of naval prescience. Be-
cause Schley did not destroy the Colon
in the outer harbor of Santiago
though the ship had no notion of abid-
ing in the zone of real danger-his
conduct was censurable; but when
Sampson also saw the Colon in the
same tantalizng position, inviting at
tack, and failed to sink or capture the
Spaniard, the dereliction excites no
hostile criticism. And 80 the Inquiry
goes on.

Schley's "Funeral."

Outside of certain limits the interest
of the American people in t. Schley
court of inquiry is their interest in fair
play.
The country at large sees nothing ST.
premely great rs doors of deeds or as
commanders in either Schley or Samr-
son, such as invests with q halo
glory the head of Dewey or of CLARK;
and the bulk of naval officers of whole
some ambition and having a proper
sense of the just relation Of things
would rather have Commander Vain
wrights place in the history Of events
in the waters of the West Indies than
that ofeither Sampson or Schley.
Admiral Schley has been singled out
for criticism that ia manifestly unfair
and undeserved. The navy depart
ment has stultfed itself in becoming a
party to the persecution of this officer.
The department, as represented by the
secretary and his subordinates, has be-
come the partisan of Sampson and the
detractor of Schley. 1t has not done
what in honor it was bound to do to
protect the good name Of an officer it
had sent away on a distant cruise.
During his absence from his country,
by its own command, it interposed no
obstacle to the publication, in volume
to be used as textbook at the Naval
Academy, of the vilest ISLANDERS,
couched: in the vilest phrases, of the
officer the department had tacitly
endorsed by promoting him, after the
acts complained of, and by assigning
him to an important command.
In the Maclay book the secretary
and his confederates, and their own
hero, saw that their own exploits were
recorded and their own names duly gar
nished with fulsome praise, while an
eminent servant Of the government
and fellow officer, on a distant post
Of duty, was viciously stabbed in the
back-and no hand was raised to ar
rest or parry the blow. On the con-
trary there was apparent conspiracy
with the cowardly assailant or con-
nivance in his beastly work.
The men representing the govern
ment, whose duty it is to see justice
done in the pending inquiry, have be-
come prosecutors instead of investi-
gators. Their plain purpose is to &C
cuse Schley and protect Sampson, and
find such evidence only as shall sus-
tain their predetermined purpose to &C
complish Schley's destruction officially.
The evidence of this partisan pur.
pose, the development of an evident
intention to assaIl Schley and destroy
him but to protect Sampson is making
partisans of Schley, such partisans as
like to see fair play in any controversy.
The course of the representatives and
witnesses of the government naturally
invites comment such as this from the
Free Pres:
The counsel for Rear Admiral Schley
seem to be determined that Rear Adj
miral Sampson shall also be tried by
the court of inquiry at Washington, APP
parently overlooking the very impor-
tant consideration that this is entirely
Schley's funeral.
Entirely characteristic. The sort Of
warfare which has been and still is
made upon Admiral Schley seems ever
to have the commentator of this
swift and habitual champion of small
things,

The Americas Cup.

The first of the series of cup races is
sailed today. The Americas cup, won
from the English yachtsmen half cen
fury ago, and always retained here as
the issue OF oft-recurring contests for
its recovery, seems to be in more inn
minent peril at this time than in any
previous trial of speed by challengers
and defenders. Interest in the race
has undoubtedly palled upon the minds
of the public, and only the "lifting''
of the cup by Sir Thomas Upton, in
the pending races, can give it piquancy
again.
The races have outgrown in size,
preparation and character normal or
rational interest. The manner of Sc
lecting the defender this year, also, hes
dulled the edge OF interest in the Sc
quel, That jewel, fair play, which this
people so highly esteem, in selecting
the cups champion, seems not to have
been sedulously observed. Its abuse
or absence has tainted the contest, and
the failure of the valiant Columbia a
second time to defend the cup success
fully would be taken as sort OF judy
ment on the men of the association 10
which the defense of the trinket has
been entrusted.

HELPLESS.

The man trussed up so that he can
neither move hand nor foot is i'll his
helplessness fair type of many man
affected by rheumatism. Often the dis

Rheumatism can be cured by the use
of DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov-
cry. This great blood purifying medi-
cine eliminates the poisons which cause
the disease. 1t increases the activity of
the blood-making glands, and so in
creases the purity and abundance of the
blood supply, thus giving vigor and
vitality to all organs of the body which
depend for their health on plenty of
