A DEMONS DESERTS.

A few days ago there was closed at
Herkimer, New York, trial which in
many OF its spectacular features was
without a parallel in the history OF
criminology, and in which the jury
wisely rendered verdict which will
send Chester E. Gillette to the cleo
trio chair Some of the details OF the
case were 80 revolving that the read
ing public almost condemned the
course pursued by the prosecution.
But as the trial proceeded it became
evident that the course was justified
BY the need of convicting one Of the
most depraved moral reprobates and
towards that civilization has ever
kno&;n. O.
The Story Of the murder of Grace
Brown by the man who had ruined her
has been told in the news columns OF
the press and. need not be repeated
" But it is we'll to draw from it a few
lessons that those well-meaning
though sometimes over-zealous people

crates. sometimes overlook. Gillette
was depraved and moral degenerate
who. living was curse to society and
q danger to humanity. 1t was not
that young woman became the VIC
tim Of his wiles, but because rather
than protect her honor in the only
manly way which was left to him, he
.enticed her into boat and out upon
one of the Adirondack lakes and there
with no hand to protect her from the
blows Of the brute who had brought
her nothing but ruin, she fell with
her skull crushed, to the bottom Of
the boat in which they had been row.
ing and her body was ruthlessly cast
into the waters of the lake.
Then with the brazen effrontery of
one in whom there Is no moral con-
ception Of responsibility. he fed from
the scene Of his crime, but leaving be-
hind him trail of circumstantial ev-
idence which pointed as unerringly to
his guilt as the prophecies pointed

The state press seems reluctant to
credit Hon. r. H. Hankinson of Hank
inson with being republican repre-
sentative elect from that district. In
the early reports following the cleo
ton many of the papers had him
counted out despite his Sc majority,
and now the Bismarck Tribune In its
list Of members elect has him classed
as democrat. II any more errors

He has lived on 1t, he says for about
three years. Some time ago Sever

which Mr.. States lives, and began
breaking. Mr.. States told him he
was on his land, but severson said
he had a filing on it also. Mr.. States
wrote to Washington and he has re-
ceived letter fro,A the department
advising him that he has the only
filing on the land described, and that
there is no contest against the land

BANK LEGISLATION.


That there is q decided sentiment
in this state in favor of the taxing Of
state banks for the purpose Of Great
ing reserve fund to b. used TO make
good the losses suffered BY depositors
in these institutions in case Of defai-
cation Of the officers or for inability to
pay such depositors in full In case of
liquidation Of the affairs Of a bank.
is evident from the fact that a num-
Der of bills are said to be in course
Of preparation for introduction in the
legislature SO soon as the session
opens at Bismarck.
There will naturally be divergence
OF opinion in these bills and it will
probably require 9 considerable CON-
promise to get bill that will be sat-
isfactory to all parties in interest. But
there is abundant reason to believe
that bill will be framed which will
be acceptable to every one, and that
legislation looking to the elimination
of the desired end will be passed be-
fore the legislature adjourns.
There will be some opposition, as
has been pointed out in these columns
heretofore. 1t will come from two
sources. One of these is the. bankers
who are conducting legitimate bust
ness and who are either 80 strong fin
ancially that they would be able to
pay every dollars due their iepositors
even should an absconding cashier
flee to Canada with the entire funds, or
who are carrying sufficient insurance
to make good just ouch emergencies
as the proposed legislation seeks to
meet. They have reason 70 oppose
the enactment of such legislation, If
they only look to their own immediate
interests. They have no reason to
fear the losses which fall so heavily
upon depositors in cases of bank fail
ures. They feel that tax on their
institutions to protect depositors in
banks which are not so thoroughly
provided against loss, is a burden
which they should not be compelled to
help bear.
The other Directing class is COM
posed Of the wild cat bankers of the
state who are conducting business on
book accounts and who would not be
able to pay their depositors If one of
the parties to whom the depositors'
money had been loaned would fail.
These people will fight against the
enactment of any law which compe.s
them to surround their business with
anything like safety. They should
not be counted in the objections to
the matter.
AS to the contention of those who
oppose such legislation because they
have already provided safety fund.
80 to speak, for their depositors, It
should be placed in the balance on
one side and on the other should be
placed the advantages to the count
less hundreds Of depositors who have
no means Of determining whether
they are risking their earnings whea
they are placed in the bank or wheth-
err they will be ready for their call
when wanted. Every law of this
class will work hardship on some
one, but the hardship must be meas
ured against the advantages to the
others and If the advantages out
weigh the hardships, the law should
be passed. Measured in this way the
tax on banks for mutual protection
should become a law.

some reasonable conclusion may be
reached in the matter. 1t may be
possible that too much science be-
came involved in the ordinance as it
was reported and that this is one rea-
son why the general public has not
taken enthusiastically to the same.
That there is need of some regulations
on the subject is certain. Milk should
come to the homes of the city absolut-
ely clean and free from the contain
mating elements with which it must
necessarily be surrounded while being
produced and handled But many peo-
pie cannot believe that tho fluid
which they drank by the pint in their
childhood and upon which they grew
to healthy manhood and womanhood
contains the elements of disease and
death. 1t is not necessary to discuss
the question Of the communication Of
disease from the animal to man
through the medium of the milk, for
that is a question upon which the
scientists differ as much as they would

The general public wants inspection
OF some sort that will protect it from

Times believes that If the city coun-
Gil will use some Of the abundant COM
mon sense with which it is possessed
in the construction of an ordinance
which will meet the needs of the ac-
tual conditions and which will protect
the people from milk impurities. 1t will
satisfy both sides and actually accom-
plsh the desired results.
1t Is stated that some Of the citi-
zens Of California have announced
that In the event Of the general gov
eminent successfully interfering in
the Japanese school muddle. the state
will do the South Carolina stunt and
withdraw from the union. It will be
remembered that another state once
threatened to withdraw from the un-
ion in the time of President Jackson,
and that that vigorous and emphatic
executive did not hesitate to tell those
who were at the head Of the nullifi-
cation movement that there would be
some work for the hangman in the
event of the matter being pushed.
California would find that the present
executive would be about as empha-
tic in dealing with situation Of the
same kind as was Andrew Jackson.

When old winters robe of wilderness
Falls upon the dust brown land
With n gentle. soft politeness,
Hiding all the CRIME and sand,
Then instead of going s%lelghing
Down the avenue In style
We are apt to be displaying
Faces measured by the mile.
When the Ice on lake and river
Lies as smooth as polished glass
Skating? No; we shake and shlver;
Nothing can woe snrpass.
Hoarsely do we moan and mutter
AS We chill and gasp and sneeze,
Coughing as each word we utter,
nindly pass the mustard. please"
When the fierce north wind gets busy
with the stuff that he can mix,
we, with influenza dizzy,
Don't appreciate his tricks.
Then we do not care to listen
To the tale the poet tells
Singing that the snowfiakes glisten.
Singing of the Ginning bells.
when our aching teeth all chatter,
When with cold our hands are blue,
We conclude 1t doesn't matter
What the poets say or do.

Then they'll cat the things they'vs

THE WElL-McCLEAR SCRAP
Ballot Boxes to be. Examined by
the Legislature.

Reports from Coeur d'Alene have
had a tendency to mislead the
public as to the outcome of the
We'll l-McClear senatorship contest
case, by announcing that We'll had
given up the litigation and that as
a consequence wagers aggregating
as much as $6, 1000 had changed
hands in Coeur d'Alene. As
matter of fact the contest is but
fairly begun, the taking Of depo-
sitions before the probate Judge and
county auditor being but prelim-
mary to bringing the matter before
the legislature where the case will
be concluded. The taking of de-
positions was concluded nearly TWO
weeks ago. Naturally, as was exA
pected, Mr.. McClear, senator elect,
and his friends emphatically de-
MED the irregularities in. the poll
ing place at Coeur d'Alene alleged
by County Attorney Whitla and
others, upon which allegations Mr..
We'll bases his contest for Mr.. Nc
Clears seat.
In connection with this case the
ballot boxes Of the precincts in
which errors and irregularities are
alleged to have occurred are to be
placed before the legislature for
examination. Last : Saturday

GOVERNOR CHARGES LIBEL
Editor Capital News Defendant in
Criminal Action.

Governor Gooding has begun
action against r. S. Sheridan,
editor and manager of the Evening
Capital News OF Boise, for criminal
libel. 1t is set forth in the COM
plant that in an editorial published
in the Capital News, July IS,
"Gooding" and "Graft" are spoken
OF as synonymous terms.
The e Capital News carried on a
very bitter campaign against the
governor during period of a year
or more before election, and on
hume erous occasions published
statements which were claimed to
be libelous. These were of the
one in connection with which the
case has been started, insinuating
that the governor was in some
mann ner connected with grating.
1t is the understanding that he
is likely to proceed against some
other papers in the same manner.
