THE TRIAL AT BOISE.

Looked at from any point of view, il
is a remarkable trial that is now in
progress at Boise. The very full ac-
counts of the proceedings which are
being printed do not mean that the
public is morbidly intent on keeping
pace with the details of what the
leading witness for the prosecution
declares was a gigantic murder con-
spiracy; it signifies rather that the
case is one Of large human interest
not because of the self-confessed
savagery Of an individual, but on ac-
count Of the charge that prominent
officers Of a miners federation were
engaged in systematic campaign of
assassination. OF the probability of
that charge it is manifestly improper
TO speak while the matter is still be-
fore the courts. Yet we have had
similar instances of moral alteration.
A fiendish propensity to crime has
been illustrated in many earlier cases.
We have known the Molly Maguires
and the X X. ks.
There can be no reasonable doubt
OF the fairness Of the trial now in
progress. The jury is a representa-
tive body OF substantial citizens
chosen after the most searching scru-
tiny Of several successive panels. a
process that lasted more than three
weeks. Never was a trial conducted
more thoroughly in the public view.
