n Remarkable Trial.

New Orleans States.
In Chicago the trial of Charles Gil

1T Is TIME.

Justice Is to be done at last, and we
are glad; justice long delayed and APP
parentIy forgotten. After the lapse of
almost three centuries there is to be a
memorial to Poeahontas. Though she
was an Indian she was a princess In
her own right. for Powhatan, her ia
Their, was king of his nation and there
fore she was necessarily a princess.
Notwithstanding the myths and in
consistencies in the accounts of Poca-
hontas, John Smith and the rest of
them there Is no doubt about her iden-
tity or about the services rendered by
her to the first jamestown settlers. She
died in 1913. and now. after all these
long years, fitting memorial to her is
to be erected and It is to be something
of an international affair. There is a
National Commemorative Association
in New York which recently appointed
a "Pocahontas Memorial Monument
Committee" and that body has sent out
circulars to the people of the United
States and to Great Britain. This is

from the darkness Of slavery to the
light OF liberty they might have ac-
cor1modated themselves to their new
conditions and thus become a peace

May 1t not be that the sad experience
of tho South Will be repeated on a
much larger and more unsatisfactory
scale In Russia? The slaves OF the
South were by one stroke of the pen.
as 1t were, made freemen and suffras-
lists. Ignorance, iiliteracy and depend
encs on others was part of slavery. To
the natural and Inherited savagery Of
the African was added centuries Of re-
preston and O. obedience to the Wills
Of others. Could any sane ana right
thiaking man believe that people so
circumstanced and emerging from such
environments and conditions could pos
sibly be fitted for all the duties and
privileges OF citizenship? Yet these
people were placed on level with
and in some instances above--the in
tellisent and educated Anglo-Saxons OF
the South and at one fell swoop made
the equals and eo-eduals of the finest
ana highest civilization the world ever
saw.
We do not allude to these matters In
any spirit of bitterness or to arouse
or revive the hard feelings Of the past.
but 1t has seemed to us that the ex-
periences and consequences of those
days may be repeated In Russia. We
do not put the common people Of that
empire down with the negroes Of the
South as they emerged from slavery.
but In some respects 1t would not be
a great mistake to do so. The serfs
Of Russia, In the main, are almost as
low. so far as education and general
enlightenment goes, as were the slaves
OF the South in 1855. Are they fitted
for self goyernment? Is a question that
may well be asked. Even limited self
government may be too much for them
at once, and the scenes of turbulence
and disorder that have followed the
Cars proclamation are calculated to
cause very grave doubts as to the final
outcome IF what now looks like dan
gerous experiment.
1t Is not that we would have the
old order continue. 1t was one of the
most cruel and heartless monarchies
that existed in any country claiming
to be civilized. and lovers of liberty
everywhere will rejoice that the au-
tocracy is dead and that the people are
to be free. The dread is that their
newly found liberty will be too much
for them all at once and that freedom
will become license. We sincerely hope
that our apprehensions are groundless
and that the new Russia may b. one

SUPREME COUNCIL
ROYAL ARCANUM
GALL FOR SPECIAL SESSION is
DEMANDED
Massachusetts Grand Council Takes
Steps Looking Toward a Re-
vision of the Rates.

Boston, July 20.-After a whole days
cession the grand council Of the Royal
Arcanum succeeded in adopting reso-
lutions calling for special session
OF the supreme body to reconsider the
new rate tables adopted by the supreme
council at its last session, held in At
lantic City, N. j., and instructing their
representatives in the supreme body to
vote and work to that end.
When the session was called to order
this morning 100 different resolutions
were presented to the body. These
were submitted to committee of FIVE,
who combined all important points of
each into one, and it was this resolu
tion that was later adopted.
A call was also sent TO the supreme
regent of the order, Howard G. Wig
gin of Rome, N. Y, signed by the en-
tire supreme council delegates, calling
for this special session to be held at
the earliest possible day. The greatest
surprise of the session was when Dam
iel r. Beckford, Jr., and F. w. Dickin-
son signed the call without protest;
both voted for the new rates at the last
meeting of the supreme body.
A feature of the morning session
was the ruling against admission as
visitors past subordinate regents Of the
order. Heretofore they had been ad-
mitted to all meetings. One other sur
prise was the announcements of the ac-
ceptanee of the resignation Of District
Deputy Daniel F. Beckford, Jr. 1t is
believed that his resignation was the
result of the unfavorable comment
over his voting in favor Of the new
rates.

If he is given fair trial before fair

For several days detectives have been

governor. These officers go to the race
track every day and remain through
out the racing hours. They make daily
reports that reach Gov. Folk each even
ing. These reports are minute in de-
tail and cover every feature of the rae
ing game. The detectives are keeping
an exhaustive record of every transac-
tion witnessed at the Delmar race
track. They circulate freely among the
betters and have the names Of many
whom they have seen playing the
ponies.
The governor announces that his f.
