Winnipeg, Man, March 24.-The trial of
Msup Solomon Of stuartburn, for the
murder of his wife was closed Saturday
evening and the jury frought in verdict
of ''guilty'' with a recommendation to
mercy. The murder was one of the most
brutal in local records. Solomon and his
wife had lived hnhappily together. He
was in the habit of beating her severely
, at intervals, and the woman was seldom
without marks of his ill-usage. Before
starting on a trip to his market town,
Dominion City, about a month ago, ne
suggested to her that she should commit
suicide or disappear from his sight IN
any way that she pleased. On his return
she was still at home. 49,. az r
During the night following Solomon and
his wife had one Of their usual quarrels,
but 1t appeared to have been more bit
ter for the attack he made was more
brutal. He beat her about the neck and
face with his hard fists until he was
tired, and then, after taking rest, he
renewed the attack with such effect that
the woman died few hours later. H.
When Solomon came to his senses he
called in some neighbors and told. them
his wife was dying from the effects of
a fall from a loft or upper story of his
house, which was reached by a ladder. He
afterwards confessed the crime to neigh

There was very pathetic scene in the
courtroom when the eldest daughter of
the murdered girl gave evidence. The
counsel for the defense objected to the
examination of the child but Justice Balm
maintained that such evidence was usual
ly truthful and valuable. The child then
told her story, weeping the whole time,
while the prisoner, with his head bent,
also Wept, and his sobs could be heard at
intervals. The child's evidence did not
amount to much. During the night she
thought she heard her mother calling
"Anna!". "Anna!" but she was not sure.
She might have been dreaming. Her
father woke her up and said her mother
had fallen from the loft and was dying.
When she went to see her mother she
was so Mortified at her appearance that
she did not go close to her. In the ex-
animation at the close of the child 8

said, her father, prior to his arrest, had

The evidence of wilful murder was very
complete, and only one Of the twelve
jurymen held out for a verdict of man
slaughter. Justice Balm will pass the
death sentence tomorrow morning. &g

Ironwood, Mich, March PA. A. Ores
ser, an expert accountant, of Detroit. has
been called to Bessemer to balance the
books Of Martin Kallander, deceased, late
county treasurer. Immediately after his
death it leaked out that Gogebic county S
treasurer was short in his accounts and
an Investigation showed an apparent def
cit of about $4,000. A special meeting of
the board of supervisors is called for
Tuesday, Persons closely identified with
the First National bank of Bessemer and
the First National bank Of Ironwood,
were on Kallander's bonds. .., ]
It is impossible to tell the exact
amount Of the shortage. The accounts
were checked w and the books balanced
at the last annual meeting of the board in
October, but it is sad that the treasurer
borrowed from $4,000 to $4,000 at that
time to- make up alleged deficits. 1t
is not known where the money went, but
it is supposed that Kallander used it in
hts private affairs.

COLLECT THE TAxEs

There is an indication that Council
mas suddenly reached the conclusion
that, inasmuch as there is about $780,
900 due and owing the city in unpaid
taxes. II is better to collect that sum
or a part OF It. rather than borrow on
the credit of the city
All claims for unpaid taxes will be
placed in the hands of the City So
licitor within q few days and we pre-
sumo they will be pushed at once. We
think If there is an effort made. IL will
be found that the law gives ample rem
edies for the collection of these taxes.
In any event Council should exhaust
whatever means lies in its power, and
then If the law is found to be defec-
tive. it can be remedied.
This easy-going method of allowing
the evasion OF payment takes the bur
dens from a part of the people and
places 1t on another Often, too, the
poorer class are prompt in their pay
ments. while those with ample means
take advantage of the lax system. Let
Council persist till It collects every
dollar due. 1t will be a salutary les
son.

NEW SPAPER OPINION
Maladroit Quotations
From the Washington Post.

From the Washington Post
In a leading editorial intended to
show that it is the duty of The United
States to get out of the Philippines
and, standing outside. protect them
from interference by other nations, the
Boston Post contends that the drift of
the public sentiment is in that direc-
ton. The Washington Post has not
II believes that the determination to
hold on TO the Philippines is strength
ened by insurrectionary disturbances
in some Of the islands While the
feeling is widespread that we made a
serious mistake in acquiring sovereign
" over that archipelago, the impress
sion that scuttle would cancel or NIT
igate the effects OF that error is, in
our opinion. limited to a comparatively
small number OF American citizens.
But our present purpose is rather to
notice some OF the Boston Posts quo
tations than to argue against the anti
imperial policy. One OF these is our
old friend, "VOx populi vOx DEP
the voice of the people is the voice of
God"
There is a maxim much younger
than that which suits us better be-
cause il is truer. It reads, "One with
God is a majority" Vox populi is often
n blunder Our fathers took infinite
pains to protect our governmental sys-
TEN against vOX pOpuli. For that pur-
pose they created the Senate, a body
In which the voice Of $4,000 people in
one State is equal to six or seven mill
lions I'm another State How much vox
populi is there in the provision that
requires the concurrent action Of
three-fourths of the States to amend
the Constitution? Is there anything
resembling vOX pOpuli in the more than
monarchical veto power? We make
no objection to any of these features
of our grandly successful plan, but they
are as far as possible from vox populi,
and that is the reason why our govern
mnt has not been overturned.
The Boston Post asserts that the
American people ARE fast getting
back to the standpoint of Abraham
Lincoln. who expressed so grandly in
his homely phrase the principle of
universal humanity: No man is good
enough to rule another man without
that other mans consent That
is, If possible, more mala-
droit citation than the vener-
able "Vox pOpuli vox Del. p"
What was the great work of Lincoln's
life. the basis of his immortal fame?
Simply the forcing of millions Of
Americans to accept and live under a
government which they did not want.
and to escape from which they made
uneXampled sacrifices. Perhaps the
Boston Post will try again.
