accused are the strongest to be had

we look for verdict on the part of
the triers of mot guilty." on the part
of half of the public of guilty" and
the other half making up composite
finding running all the way from in
nocent with doubts to guilty with
notifications.
A significant fact in this connection
is the subdued tone of the anarchist
papers and their conductors.
Previous and up to the earlier
stages of the trial they were unmeas-
ured in their threats of vengeance
dire and deeds disastrous if the at
tempt were ever made to execute the
men on trial or either of them. While
it is not wholly the case that the mon
ey-bought advantages so far gained
in the hearing are the cause of the
subsistence on the part of the Debses
and the Waylands of the country, it
is so to some extent undoubtedly
the indifference shown to their ranting
and roaring is entitled to full share
of the credit, and this is the most
gratifying thing of all.
The question is frequently asked as
to what will become of Orchard 1t
is not easy to answer Every state
has secrets which it may not divulge
even after the time when the were
of practical advantage has passed
wealth in such matters have very
broad privileges and use them in ac-
cordance with their own views of
propriety and usefulness; thus it is
difficult to reach satisfactory con-
illusions as to what final disposition
will be made of the chief actor in
the awful tragedy. The equity which
is not that of the books but asserts
itself in the minds of those who are
bluntly honest is that if the paymas-
ter has done no wrong as the law
goes, neither has the servant. Apart
from this, getting a moose around
Orchards neck by any legal means
seems to be difficult matter. He
has pleaded not guilty, cannot be re-
CURED to testify against himself and
cannot be convicted on an unsupport-
ed confession given in another case.
We suppose there could be means
found for accomplishing the ends OF
justice in his case, but it is doubtful
if they will be.

DESERTERS.
By Neil Gillespie in Pacific Monthly

On the edge OF the neWly-made
intrenchment, paced the deserter, en-
couraging, directing, careless of his
own safety, defying the troops across
the river. He lowered head and
shoulders above the tallest of the
little Filipinos, colossal in his loose,
white blouse. A crimson dawn rioted
at the eastern end of the gorge, and
the storm clouds were gathering fast
From time to time he paused to
scan the dense jungle which covered
the opposite side of the canyon. No
evidence of human life was visible
to right or left; even the enemy was
hidden from view. A bullet passed
him, dronng wickedly, but he only
threw back his head and breathed a
sigh of content. At last, there was
no one to hinder him; he was master
of himself and fifty savage fighters,
face to face with the power he hated

His thoughts went back readily to
those long months of isolated gar

concentration village was! Strange
that the whole command hadn't been
dead and planted considering the
shortness of the rations and the rot
tenness of the whisky. AS it was.
hardly ten sound men could be found
in the camp. His own temperature
had been up to hundred and three
often enough, but that was Reeves
fault. Reeves was at the bottom of
everything, the smug-faced, red-head-
ed, little fool! He didn't know what
it was to go on outpost duty every
other night, to walk his beat in the
lonely forest, with his nerves screwed
up so tight he could hear them creak.

little rest with nothing better to think
of than the next night on guard. He
didn't care what the men had to suffer
so long as he was fairly comfortable
himself. Looking back on that time.
the deserter marveled that the others
had not shared his bitter hatred of
Reeves. Not one of them had re-
belled against the injustice of it all

sensible man in the detachment.
Not once in the last six months
had he regretted the shot, fired from
his hiding-place in the jungle, that

and outlawed. The memory Of that
morning was still wildly real. He
could hear the short crack of his rife,

he could only recall petty, smarting
littlenesses; yet deep in his mind was
the conviction he somehow could not
shape, of huge injustice, an unfor-
givable wrong. He paused to stare
perplexedly before him; then, as sud
denly recollecting himself, resumed
his nervous pacing to and fro. 1t

The native saluted with precision
and faced about. There was nothing
in his face that betrayed excitement
'Adios, sargento," the subaltern
called after him, " Mucho cuidado! |"
The officer stroked his red hair
thoughtfully. Was he making a mis-
take. Should he have sent his white
troops on the thanking movement and
kept the natives in their stead? Was
the sergeant absolutely trustworthy!

this affair, and he had put the decis-

ANOTHER ARREST
 IN SCOTT CASE
Wash Amps. Proprietor of Negro Ho- tel From Which Fatal Shot Is Supposed to Have Been
 Fired.

Helena, Aug 2S.-Sheriff F. F. Kitchens yesterday afternoon arrested Wash Amps, proprietor of the negro hotel near which J. M. Scott, late city editor of the Daily World, was as- sassinated, on a charge of being i'm plicated in the murder. Amps and his wife were suspected of cOmplicity in the crime and were held as witness CSC prior to the preliminary hearing of Carruth and Archdale, the two white men charged with the assassi- nation. They were released after the hearing, but were later rarrested and again released.
 After being released second time the Amps woman talked rather freely of the crime, and the officers think themselves justified in demanding a trial of Amps on the charge of com plicity.
 On the night of the murder two ne- groes, man and a woman, had Il room in Amps hotel. the window of which opened immediately over tiie spot where Scott was supposed to have been murdered by someone sta- toned in this window. The Amps wo- man stated that about 10 o'clock on the night of the murder she was or dered by Amps to move the two ne groes in this room, stating that t was wanted by some white men; that she obeyed the order of her husband, and that she heard one of the men say:
 Here is a dollar for the room. We won't need it long
