The two trials of Molineux have cost
the state and the defense an aggregate
of $5OOOOO. In the first the defendant
was promptly found guilty Of murder in
the first degree and sentenced to death
by eIectrocution. In the second he was
as promptly acquitted amidst the plaud-
its of the by-standers and with signs Of
universal approval. There is a big op-
portunity for reform In criminal pro
cedure in New York.

Police Chief Donahue is quoted as say
ing that the proposed eight-hour shift in
the Omaha police force was made Inn
possible by the dismissal Of the sixteen
members of the force on the ground OF
financial distress. The chief evidently
has not consulted the headsman of the
police board, whose name begins with
a B and whose head is buzzing with a
mayoralty bee. He may rest assured
that If that bee continues buzzing the
sixteen discharged policemen will be re-
placed by sixteen ward heelers in the

HONoRABLE COMMERCIAL RIVALRY.
There were some things said by Presi-
dent Roosevelt Ia his address at the ban
quet OF the New York Chamber OF Com.
merce which are worthy of more than
passing consideration and which will un-
doubtedly receive attention and favor
able comment abroad. At this time, when
there is so strong a feeling in Europe
against the trade invasion OF the United
States and the opinion widely prevails
there that 1t is the policy OF our com
mercial interests, particularly the indus
trial combinations, to employ any means,
fair or otherwise. to secure foreign
trade. it is well that the president, in
the presence Of the greatest representa-
tive body OF American commercial in
terests, should have declared that we
have no jealousy OF the growth and
prosperity OF other nations and that we
desire no rivalry that is not honorable to
both parties.
The way in which this country has
been attacked abroad by those whose
business has suffered from our rather
aggressive enterprise anil pushing com
petition has shown that our people. that
is the commercial element. is regarded
as being quite as 'unscrupulOus as ag
gressive and to be actuated as well by
an inordinSte greed. There is, of course
no altruism in business. AS was well

Famine in Rolling stock.

The only famine that threatens the coun-
try is deficiency in locomotives and cars
to handle the traffic, the transportation
being $4,000 cars in excess of the supply,
and yet the railroad companies expended
5000 900 on equipment in 1901 and the
expenditure for that purpose the present
year is estimated at $3.50, 200, 900. During
the past two years 100000 cars were built

One OF the most significant results OF last
Tuesdays elections is the proof they give
that the states west OF the Mississippi
river, from having been nearly evenly
divided in 1898, have become almost solidly
republican. There are fifteen states in that
region, of which the republicans carried
eight four years ago and the democrats
seven. This year the democrats carry only
one Of the fifteen states.
The following table gives the majoritics
in each OF these states in 1898, the previous
mid presidential year, and in 1902:

Foolish BreathinEs of Woe.

The democratic talk about our declining
foreign trade was as devoid OF foundation
as their predictions Of success at the polls.
The exports of manufactures for the nine
months ending September 80 were larger
than ever before in the history Of the
nation. with the exception of 1900. The
import trade has been greater also be-
cause OF the increased demand for goods
that cannot be made at home to meet the
demand. Prosperity is here. apparently, to
stay.

Scientific circles in Washington are dis

peared in the sky to the south OF the city
one afternoon last week Thousands OF
residents OF Washington saw the mani
festation, but It is accounted particularly
fortunate that officials Of the weather

rare occurrence in time to view it and
accumulate scientific data.
The mirage was as clear and distinct as

and showed the dome of the capitol build.
Ing surmounted by the Goddess Of Liberty,
at a. point in the heavens opposite the side
OF the building. The sky picture was vastly
enlarged, covering an immense area OF the
heavens. and the white dome was thrown
in sharp relief against the deep blue OF the
upper atmosphere.
The mirage lasted only seven minutes.
and then did not fade away gradually, but
vanished as suddenly as II had appeared.
The close proximity of the mirage to the
object reflected is considered as remark
able by scientific men. There are WE'LL

many miles distant from the location OF

| first instance. in this country. at least, OF
a sky picture. clear In detail and enlarged

was seen. with the deductions as to the
exact nature and cause OF the phenomena,
