THE IupaE,s CHARGE.

At the conclusion of the attorney gem
erals address, Judge Emery said to the
Jury, just before they retired for the
usual recess, that II they so desired he
would reserve his charge until morning;
II they preferred to listen to 1t at once, he
would give ii.
At the close OF the recess the jury an
nounced that they were ready to listen to
the court. The Judge then made his
charge, occupying one hour and nineteen
minutes. Lack OF space prevents its
publication here In full; summary
would not do 1t Justice. Suffice 1t to say
that it commanded the closest attention
throughout. The crime charged was
clearly defined, and it's different degrees
illustrated. Then the evidence was re-
viewed, and the duty of the jury clearly
indicated.
The thoroughness and impartiality OF
the charge -gere amply attested by the

The cost of the Treworgy trial to the
county of Hancock has been fruitful
theme ever since the trial ended. Many
wild statements have been made, and
some of them have got into print.
AS a matter OF fact, the exact cost is not
yet known, but from data that are now
available, 1t may be stated that the cost OF
the trial will not be far from IS ,000-abol
one half the sum that is going the rounds
of the press.
This, however, is not the whole cost to
the county OF the Ware case. Previous
expenses have been incurred, but instead
OF amounting, as has been stated, to
$4,000, one fourth that sum ia nearer the
actual figure.
In other words, the Ware case, including
the Treworgy trial, instead OF costing the
county $40 600. viii cost it In the neigh
borhood OF 81 500, and probably less than
that sum.

fact that neither counsel requested special
ruling or explanation.
II was shortly after O'Clock that the
jury retired, taking with them slI the
exhibits that had been offered in evidence.
Three deputies were put in charge OF the
jury, and we're directed to furnish them
with ell needed creature comforts.
The crowd thst had completely filed

every soul apparently impressed with the
solemnity OF the situation. During the
rest OF the evening, and well into the
night, eroups OF people we're to be seen
discussing the situation In hushed voices,
and speeuiating upon the outcome.
AT O'Clock the jury asked for map,
and 1t was furnished them. At IL 30 they
we're called into the courtroom, and on
announcing that they had az yet failed to
the jury-room for the night.
About O'Clock Friday morning, they
again reported no agreement. At 9 30 a.
m, after having been out over sixteen
hours, the jsry announced that they had
agreed upon verdict. There was hasty
gathering OF court officials and attorneys,
and the excitement among the few spec
tstors present was intense.
THE VERDICT.
Treworgy was brought into court, and
calmly took his seat. The attorneys were
soon in their places; the jury filed to
theirs, Justice Emery taking his seat
upon the bench almost instantly. OF
those who were gathered in the room but
few had ever been present at the eonciu-
sion of murder trial, but there was not
one who did not appreciate the solemnity
of the occasion and almost the stiffness Of
death reigned when Clerk Of Courts
Knowlton rose, and addressing the fore.

"Mr. Foreman, have you agreed upon a
verdict?"
"We have, sir" replied the foreman.
"And what say you, Mr.. Foreman,
guilty or not guilty?" continued the clerk.
"Not guilty, sir" was the answer.
"And so say you all, gentlemen"
In answer to the last question there was
a concerted nodding OF twelve heads.

other Western states to be on the alert
for the interests of their constituents.
The effort is being made 10 bring up
the Kasson reciprocity treaties-which
many senator's hold are dead because
not ratified within the prescribed time.
1t Is asserted that Senator Cullom of
Illinois has given his word that the
long delayed treaties shall be acted on,
to which there is no objection-if they
are acted Oh rightly.
The treaty which the Northwestern
senators should look out for is that ne
gotiated with the Argentine Republic,
which provides for material reduction
in the duty on wool. The effect of the
great wool growing interests of Mon
tana and other wool-growing states
can be appreciated, and the treaty in
question should not be ratified.
Reciprocity is all right II carried on
along the lines laid down by President
McKinley-so that its provisions shall
not prove injurious to any American
industry. The treaty with the Argen-
tine Republic would prove extremely
damaging to the wool interests of this
country, and therefore should not be
ratified.-Helena (Mont.) Record.

BEET SUGAR FACTS.
ITS IMPORTANCE ILLUSTRATED IN
THE STATE OF MICHIGAN.
Gives Profitable Returns to Farmers ana
Benefits the Consumer by Establish
ing n Competition Beyond the Power
of the Sugar Trust to Suppress.

The Journal in this issue makes a
presentation of the Importance OF the
beet sugar industry to the farmers OF
the state. What the factories that take
this product of the farm have done
will amaze those who now. for the first
time, read of the extent of their oper-
atoms. The money paid out for sugar
beets has added materially to the pros
perity Of the districts in which they
are produced, and has continued on Its
way to stimulate every interest in
which the farmer appears as a buyer.
It will be noticed that there is
claimed for each beet sugar factory
some measure of success. AS matter
of fact, not all Of them have made
money in the sense in which it is made
in many old established interests. But
IL all of them had 1t would still not
operate powerfully to the sane MIND
as a reason for placing this industry
in jeopardy by reduction of the tariff
on imported raw sugar. The policy OF
Protection is sustained by the votes
of this country, not that the protected
industries shall barely make both ends
meet. The industry Of sugar making
in the United States is protected that
it may be profitable-so that it may
nay up to the American standard for
labor and be factor in lowering the
price of a given article to the COM
munity.
The beet sugar industry does both
these things. 1t gives satisfactory re-
turns to the farmer or else he will not
raise the beets; the whip hand thus
remaining with him, and not with the
factory. 1t has lowered the price OF
sugar to the consumer by the confess
sion of the trust, and the evidence is
to be had at any grocery store, the
price of the refined article being now
nearly or quite down to the figure it
touched under free trade in foreign
sugar.
The beet sugar industry has thus
justified it's claim for professionally
benefit to the consumer, by good prices

What We Know.

We know with much accuracy that
free trade for Cuban sugar means the
destruction of our domestic sugar In
dustry. We know that 1t came into
being by protection. We know that 1t
was the first significant extension OF
protection to agriculture, and we know
that the farmers of many states have
profited by it, and that 1t means the
addition of new crop to the variety
by which they make a. living from
their land. Extension of protection to
them was an economic experiment that
has become a demonstration. Why
should it be abandoned, to the injury
of American farmers, in order that
Cuba may be delivered from hypo-
thetical distress? Why not consider
the interest of the American farmer
and make the Cuban the subject OF
experiment? Why not let Cuba go on,
organize her government, take the IN
dependence for which she fought and
which we gained for her, and walt
and see whether she goes over the
hill to the poorhouse by losing the
chance to sell one ton Of sugar In
Spain to forty sold in the united
States?-San Francisco Call.
