Another case is disclosed in which
a man was convicted of murder on
circumstantial evidence and is subse-
quently proved to be innocent. A

This. with the case Of 10th in Penn
s%ylvania. is regarded by some as an
argument against capital punishment.
1t cannot I've denied that 1t strength
ems the argument decidedly. though
whether it is conclusive is an open
question, But IL certainly indicates
that courts should scrutinize cases
depending on circumstantial evidence
with the utmost care before imposing
the DEATH penalty solely on such
proof. Circumstantial evidence cam
not be wholly debarred. Indeed. it
may be said that some of the strong
est cases can depend on evidence
wholly circumstantial. but constitut-
ing a confederation that amounts to
practical certainty.
The most that can be said Of such
cases is that justice being human. it
must necessarily be fallible. But it

PARTY ALLEGIANCE.

Nothing has been heard since the
election about giving legislative effect
to the social justice policies as In
dorsed by the democratic candidate In
his campaign speeches. with the pro-
viso that they be put through a
course Of democratic authorship to
neutralize the bull moose flavor. II
was agreed that progressive demo-
cracy and progressive republicanism
had SO much in common relative to
the human uplift agitation that il
ought to be favorably dealt with by
congress, whichever party came into
power.
AS We say. democratic enthusiasm
of bona fde politics like the tariff. the
trusts. and the money quiz, but the
original advocates have long memo.
ries and are going to ask "how about
il" at their Chicago conference next
month. This conference is expected
to put out feelers as TO the future pc.
sition of both old parties toward other
bull moose planks, but more especially
the republicans. with a view to ex.
tracing light as to the talked-of ALI
ance Of regulars and insurgents in tho
next congress and the congressiona'
campaign of two years hence.
The reluctance of the p~rogressivei
or insurgents. to leave the old part,
appears to be more pronounced thar
before the test Of strength showed I
tn be in the minority. a fact which !,
taken as showing which way the wine
blows in the bull moose quarter al

RAM and Ale that further effort coult
only have the result Of continuing tn,

THE SOUTH IN THE SADDLE.

II appears. that there will he 152
northern democrats to lao from the
south in the next house Of represen-
November 5 put the south in the sad
die, Just the same.
Democracy has obtained a foothold
in the north such as it has never
known before. Eighteen northern
democrats will soon take their places
in the senate And in the house the
northern democrats nutnumber those
from the south ny twelve votes. But
the rules OF congress pay little tribute
Ia sudden conversions.
The wisdom Of the south is now
shown in the fact that few changes
have been made in the persons who
for many years. Not only because Of
faithfulness to the party. but because
of the faithfulness to the men who
have served tho southern states in
congress does the south owe the fact
that it is in the saddle at last.
While the northern democrats could
outvote the southerners in caucus. the
latter will dominate all legislation and
appropriation bills. The south's faith
fMlness to its representatives has given
them the rights Of seniority on nearly
all the important committees. The
same is true in the senate. where there
are thirty-one southern democrats to
the eighteen from the north. Taking
congress as a whole. there are III
s%outherners to 40 northerners. but
the slight margin does not begin to
show the superior strength OF the
south over the north so far as actual
ability to control legislation is con-
cerned.
The south need not worry. 1t is
very much in the saddle. and will
demonstrate that fact very clearly in
the Sixty-third congress.

"nLpE SKY Law" OR WHAT

Investment bankers are developing
opposition to the "blue sky law" of
which Kansas has set the model, on
the grounds that 1t is too paternalistic
in character; that 1t involves a leaving
a discretion in the hands Of a single
ofscial which. il unscrupulously used,
could be used to establish i%ntoierable
favoritism and injustice; ana that in
the states where investments are gen.

Under the guidance Of the Amer

arts. with the result that the islanders
are making rapid progress. Another

pie. Of course. the island will always
remain an agricultural country, and
the people will devote tho greater por-
