Sibley county is objecting too the
transfer of a murder trial to that
county from another county on oc-
count of the expense and is en-
deavoring to get bill through the
special session of the legislature I'M
posing the burden of expense upon
the county wherein the murder was
committed. Such a bill should pass
under suspension of rules: andwithout
debate. Where it is found necessary
to take change of venue, the county
wherein the crime was cmmitted
should bear the burden of expense
in all cases, as the other county is
no way interested.

In refusing to permit her husband
to offer up himself for experiments
in vivisection, the wife of DIR. Russell
of Brooklyn has shown the depth
and constancy of q woman's love.
But it furthermore convinces US that
we can never make satisfactory
progress in science while women are
so punctilious about their domestic
arrangements. The lack of Spartan
fortitude in Mrs. Russell has annoy
ingly deprived the doctor of the op-
portunity of contributing his mite
to medical progress, and he must
necessarily feel that he has been
thwarted in a most praise worthy
resolution. Many divorce has been

In view of the fact that the fourth
day of March is almost always un-
pleasant in the national capital and
that great inconvenience and serious
danger to health attend participant
ion in the outdoor Inauguration
exercises, there is much force in the
arguments in favor Of changing the
date of Inauguration. In the
Senate Mr.. Hoar's resolution,
from the committee ON privileges
and elections, was adopted for
proposed amendment to the Consti-
tuition changing the day for the
Inauguration of the President of the
United States from March to the
last Thursday in April. The resolut-
ion provides that the change shall
take effect in 1905 and extends the
term OF President Roosevelt from
Ma rch 4 till that date. It also pro-
vides that hereafter the terms Of
senate rs and members of the House
shall begin the last y Thursday Of
April instead of March 4, as at pres
ent. There would seem to he no
valid objection to the proposition.
