the court held that a statute authorizing
the accused to elect to be tried by lhe
court was constitutional, and that the
wisdom Of the permission was for the Leg

sdissented upon the ground that the law,
sccnflicted with the constitutional proyis-
ion that 1.-THE right Of trial by jury shall
iremain inviolate." 1t is to be noted, by
the way, that the federal constitution CON
stains the more explicit provision that the
trial of all crimes, except in cases Of
Impeachment, shall be by jury, ? thus
recognizing the interests Of the public in
this mode of trial.

citizens Of West Virginia, for example,
may rest assured that NO verdict Of a
jury in q federal court in that State can

deemed Il unwise to intrust such vital

Wall street ana Poli,ics.

The Steel Trust is reported to have
but 66 per cent of the capacity Gifts
plants producing, and yet the shares
are constantly enhancing In price in
Wall Street. The Steel Trust common
stock dividend for the last quarter was
oEe-half Of per cent or at the rate OF
2 per cent per annum. The stock is
now quoted at 40, SO ii pays a little
over per cent, but whether that divi-
dend is now being earned is very doubt
ful. The price of steel has been cut,
but wages are the same, so that the
profits must show a large decrease from
last year. with not much over so per
cent OF the business. Why does the
Steel stock advance so greatly under
such circumstances? Thrust be caused
by manipulation pure and simple. and
That must be Influenced by something
that is expected to happen in the fr-
ttire. Is it the promise of the Repub-
lican leaders that the tariff which pro-
tects the Steel Trust from foreign COM
petition is TO be Increased, instead Of
revised downward? Or will wages be
put down after election so that the
trust can pay larger dividends?
There are other instances of the evi-
dent manipulation of the price Of stocks
in Wall Street that have even less APP
parent reason for advancing just now.

BunkoinE the Wage Garner.
The way the Republican party has
been good to the wage Garner, with its
Dingley tariff, is neatly illustrated in a
bulletin of the Bureau Of Labor, from
which it is CLEANED that while the ave
rage Of wages in 1907 was some 20
per cent higher than the average in
any year from 1890 to 1907, the average
price Of food was also higher in 1907
than In any year Of that period, and
nearly n per cent higher than the ave-
rage of the ten-year period from 1890
to 1899, inclusive.
That is to say, all that the wage
Garner gained in pay through Dlngley-
ism was taken away from him by the
increased cost of lyictuals which went
along with the get-rich-quick prosperity
which the Republican party brought in
with the Dingley tariff. The bulletin
is silent upon other items the cost Of
living, but, if clothing be Included
along with house furnishings of all
sorts and other necessaries, the cost of
living has been increased by nearly ~
per cent since Mark Hanna invited the
protected Industries which had put
up for McKinley's first election, to
write their own schedules In the Ding
ley act.
