TRIAL OF THE ASSASSIN.

Everybody connected with the trial OF
the assassin at Buffalo is entitled to puu-
lie thanks. The trial was all that il
should have been, and unmarried by an
unseemly display of any kind. All the
forms of law were scrupulousy complied
with, as if an ordinary criminal were on
trial, and the accused given the full ben
eft Of all the precautions of justice. But
there was not the slightest opportunity
allowed for heroics, or any magnifying
of the criminal. The law took its regular
course. with cold, pasSionless precision
and certainty. The murderer will be ex-
ecuted in the same way. He is now in
the prison at Auburn, where he will re-
main until some time during the week be-
ginning Oct. %, when he will be quietly
executed, in the presence of the statutory
witnesses. Unless the abject terror into
which he has now sunk shall lead him to
make confession there will be cOmpara-
lively little mention of him until the an
nouncement that the sentence has been
carried out.
All this is precisely as it should be.
CZolgosz is an intensely loathesome and
horrible creature, and we want as few re-
minders of him as possible.

THE SONS OF VETERANS.

The 3jth National Encampment took a
long step ahead in the way of closer re-
lations with the Sons OF Veterans.
1t was decided to invite the Command
er-in-Chief of the Sons of Veterans to
hold its sessions at the same time and
place as the National Encampment, and to
accord to the Sons of Veterans the SAME
privileges in visiting Grand Army Posts
that the comrades now enjoy in visiting
Camps of the Sons of Veterans.
The Committee on Rules, Regulations
and Ritual was instructed to report to
the next National Encampment suitable
rule for carrying out this latter purpose.
This action gives the Sons of Veterans
the recognition and encouragement they
should have had years ago, and will be a
great stimulus to the upbuilding of their
grand organization.
There can be no sound objection to the
admission of Sons of Veterans to Post
meetings. As general thing we wish
that not only our sons, but our wives and
daughters. could be present at the meet
ings. 1t will add immensely to the so
ciability and interest. Only rarely any
business comes up that should be trans
acted in secret session, and at such times
an executive session might be held.
The ritual is so beautiful, the speeches
and proceedings usually of so much dig
nifty and interest, that it is q pity that
they cannot have a much larger audience
and one which will be impressed and in
structed by them, more than the regular
members, who are already firm in the
faith
To admit Sons Of Veterans in good
standing to such meetings will have the
happiest effect. They cannot help being
impressed by the seriousness and earnest
ness of the gatherings of men to whom
Fraternity, Charity and Loyalty are words
of intense meaning, which have strongly
colored their lives. They will find in the
Post meetings a spirit they can find in nc
other secret Order, and they will go away
strongly stimulated to build their own Or,
der up to carry on the grand work which
the G. A. r. has been doing so splendidly
| To admit them as rightful visitors gives
them no control of the Posts. 1t makes
nobody back numbers, but it will bring
youthful blood and enthusiasm, TO stir up
the sometimes sluggish currents pulsing
through the older veins.
The Sons of Veterans should be the
largest and most powerful organization in
the United States, and the G. A. Il. cur
do no better work than strong effort &c
help il become so.

With the approval of President Roose-

THE SCHLEY TRIAL.

One of the things that shakes public
confidence in those who have the CONTROL
ing influence in the Navy Department was
the prompt Reputation by Judge-Advocate
l.emly and his associate of the chart
which had been prepared as an official
document, to show the position of all the
ships in the fight. and signed by the Navi-
gators of the seven ships in the battle. This
showed the distance between the Brooklyn
and the Texas to be from three-tenths to
one-half a iniie, but Commander Heilncr,
Navigator of the Texas, testified that the
distance was only from 100 to $50 yards,
and when confronted with the chart. it
was instantly repudiatcd all around. This
produced a bad impression as to the gen
cral quality of the evidence TO be pro-
duced If an official chart made the day
after the battle, cannot be relied on, what
can!
Commander Heilner testified that the
Texas was in the greatest danger from the
brooklyn's, unexpected movement, and
that their hearts stood in their mouths
until it was past. Their own Captain
Philip handled the Texas splendidly,
but she lost two or three minutes and fully
three miles, in slowing down to stop
Capt. Philip had put nothing in the log
about it, out of consideration for Others
The evidence so far is conflicting as to
Schleys ability to obey the Departments
orders to remain in blockade, instead of
going to Key West for coal. and as to his
knowledge of the presence of the Spanish
fleet at Santiago, instead of Cienfuegues,
where he showed determination to be-
lieve it was.

THERE are two schools of Anarchists,
both of which unite in the belief that all
Government is bad, and should be abol-
ished. One school are Anarchist Com
munists, who believe that all land, CAPT
tai and property of every kind belong to
the whole people, and should be freely
used by all. The Observation-Disclosures
believe that Individual effort should be en-
couraged and rewarded by giving men the
entire fruits of their labors. The leaders
of the Anarchist Communists are Johann
Most and Emma Goldman. Benz. II.
Tucker, of New York, is the leader of the

The lamentable disaster to Co C, 9th

so difficult and dangerous that the Span
iards never made any attempt to reduce
it to possession. We have paid little at

SIDNEY Brookes, an English writer is
