Wants McCue Estate to Paw.

RICHMOND, Va. March 12.-Judge r.
Garter Scott, in the circuit court, yester-
day decided that his tribunal could not
compel the administrators of the estate of
the late ]. Samuel NcCue to pay the state
the cost expended in the famous murder
trial at Charlottesville. The common
wealth's attorney of Charlottesville will
probably take the case to the supreme
court of the state. McCue killed his wife
two years ago and was hanged. The state
sought to force the executors of the estate
to pay the expense of the trial. The case
went to the circuit court from the corpora

This Spring weather is like spoil ed child If you pay any attention to 1t 1t immediately acts worse. There were only three days in May which could by any stretch of courtesy be called May days and two of those were dubious. Yesterday was something like a day in June, though more raw than rare. There really ought to be more than three June days, but with the prophets predicting everything from hail to earthquakes It will not be safe to bet Not that the prophets records are such as to inspire faith in their proph- ecies, but they have predicted so much that one or more of them will prob ably be able to say q told you so.9 It doesn't look just now as if 1t would snow soon, but it may

oAE MORE SHIFT.

The General Assembly has given us one more illustration of the never in- terrupted movement to unload upon the large centers of population, through the use of the State treasury, expenses which fall, by the accident of circum- stances. upon the small towns.
 It appears that several of the small towns of the State have a grievance, or had one, over the cost of caring for tramps who are injured while stealing rides on the railroad trains. As things are now the towns have to bear the expense caused by dressing the wounds of the lazy but fearless tramp travel CTS. They are sent, when found in- jured, to hospital, or to town msti- tuition providing the necessary com forts for the afflicted. When discharg- ed from custody, they are without the means to settle the bill, which then falls upon the town treasury. Under the proposed law, the towns will re- port to the State and the State will settle.
 { The practical effect of this proposed scheme is to put upon the dwellers in the cities the cost which would other wise fall on the town victlmized, for it is the city population that makes the prosperity of the corporations which do the direct settling with the State. The particular cost unloaded in this case Is slight, but if some one would take the trouble to figure up what the cost is from legislation of this character to the State during the past years, he would find that the determin- ation of the small towns to make the cities foot the bills is eminently suc- cessful.

PROGRESS IN KENTUCK Y.

Kentucky is picking up. She hasn't yet reached the point where she can deal definitely and surely with politi- cal and feud murderers, but she doesn't drink her own whisky as much as she did. and she can deal with 8 rotten municipal election. That Is a remarkable decision by the Kentucky Court of Appeals which holds that the municipal election in Louisville in 1905 was null and void by reason of law lessness and disorder countenanced and sanctioned by the local officials at the polls, and of repeating and other illegal practices As a result all the municipal officers chosen on that oc- casion are declared to be usurpers. Their offices are vacated, and the va eaneies are to be filled by appoint ments 5y the governor. The contest was between & Democratic and Fusion

Hartford was settled as a town in 1885 and was named two years later. It began It's career as city something over hundred years afterwards. Eleven years ago 1t consolidated it's town and city. We recall these simple but historic facts at this time, because if they mean anything, they mean that during that length of time Hartford must have accumulated definite ideas as to focal self-government, and de- finite convictions as to the economic side of social compact, which should now be revived in view of an astound- ing proposal, which has been made se- riously sby the Hartford Business Mems Association.
 A new industry is about to locate it. self in that historic town and city. promising the investment of large amount of money in buildings and Q large amount of money annually paid 
 out in salaries. It is fine outlook for Hartford and may well, as the human family view things in this transitory life, excite the envy of other Connec- ticut centers of industrial life, but it is unfortunate that on that account the merchants of the city should suggest increasing the burden already resting city, who have their places of business and homes established. At a meeting Monday evening the business men by a large majority of those present voted to recommend to special committee of the city government and to the board of finance the enactment of an ordinance relieving this new conner of all taxes on its property for the period of five years. The general manager of the new company was present at the meeting and stated that 1t was attract ed to Hartford by it's many advant- ages for manufacturing; that it had bought about six acres of land and would, when the buildings were erected and made ready for use, employ in the neighborhood of 1,SOO hands. Regard ess,". he added, "of whether taxes are lbated or not, we are coming to Hart lord and as soon as the buildings are completed we shall move the existing plant from Bay Ridge, L. r.
 It wa: at this stage in the proceed ngs that the suggestion was made to lbate the taxes of the new industry Tor five years, a suggestion which, as We have already said, the business men approved by large majority. Obvi- ,usly the thought which was upper most in the minds of those present vas the suddenly increased popula- Son the opportunity it would create f increasing the mercantile business
 f the city and the effect it would have Ipon the numerical size of Hartford.

The basis of this superficial examina- ton of the facts was sentimentalism, joy at the prospect of a great CT industrial Hartford, satis- faction with the attractive powers of the capital city and contentment with ones lot. The justified protest of another company, engaged in the same line of manufacturing, that 1t
 would be serious burden upon it's prosperityAthis giving its competitor an advantage in the market by reason of it's abatement of taxes. and that at tentlon should be directed to the fact that no such inducement had ever been given it to establish it's immense plant there, was disregarded The business
 men were bent upon sacrificing the old residents and manufacturers of Hart ford for the benefit of newcomer, who practically confessed to the meet ing that Hartford had been selected for other reasons than were connected with tax immunity.
 The theory upon which this practice of abating taxes rests was long ago ex- ploded as a source of secure and per-
 manent prosperity for town. The his l,tory of newly-made western towns dur 1 ing the past twenty-five years, which enthusiastically put into operation this
 idea of burdening those present unduly l for the benefit of those to come, tells
 convincingly the hopeless logic of that
 theory. It has for one thing eaten up
 an immense amount of eastern capi-
 tai, which was lured there by glitter l ing promises of manufacturing devel-
 opment under it. The record made by
 the State of Nebraska alone is suffl- ciert to deter the older cities of the east | from initiating any such effort to lift themselves by the bootstraps. Nor was
 it until these western towns and cities
 rested their cases upon their natural
 advantages, and the opportunities they
 could offer to aid in the establishment
 of business enterprises, that the real i prosperity came which now permits
 them to disregard in a sense the condi- 1 tion of the eastern money market.
 There Is no defense for burdening those
 who have fought the good fight and
 achieved prosperity both for them
 selves and the towns in which their l industries are located, for the benefit
 of others who are in fact attracted there, if their sincerity can be admit
 ted, not by the inducement offered of
 an artificial character, but by the i prosperity and business acumen of the
 burdened in those successful towns. It is a bit of shock to find the business men of the city of Hartford ignoring the maturity of judgment
 which should have come to them from two hundred and seventy-two years of
 uphulldIng. with the force of divine
 injunction. As the people of the State of Connecticut are Initiative by nature,
 a feeling of apprehension grows out of l this elimination of the lessons of his-
 tory by the business men of Hartford. The burdening of the many for the
 benefit of the few is doctrine not to
 be endured; it is inequality before the
 law.

They say that Henry Ward Beecher used to carry around with him a num- ber of unset gems so that he might enjoy their lustre. The late Shah of Persia had some gems to look at when he felt like 1t, The precious stones left by him are valued at about Rt000O,oOo The collection contains number of unrivalled diamonds and other stones. The old crown of the Persian dynasty holds a ruby as big as hens egg, A belt studded with diamonds. worn only on great state occasions, weighs elgh- teen pounds and is valued at millions of dollars. A wonderful silver vase Is decorated with a hundred emeralds, one of which is so large that 1t was possible to engrave on it the Shah's numberless titles. A sword with a diamond covered scabbard Is valued at G25OOO0. A remarkable feature of the collection is square block of amber of four hundred cubic inches, which Perslans say dropped from the skies in the time of Mahomet.
 Pretty rich, but if he has gone to Heaven he will see richer, If he hasn't his gems will do him no more good than they did on earth.
