nro the rosultof comDromlsOi Ono momthi
bcr of the jury Tas not convinced by
the ovidon.ee that any of the mon
,
charged with the killing of Dr Cronln
were guilty , nnd lie firmly hold to this

consented to find thrco of the mon
guilty ] ns charged uuon condition that
their punishment , which it 19
the province of an Jllinola
Jury to prcscribo , should bo
imprisonment for lifo instead of death
There ' 19 obvious suggestion in this arin
rangomnnt for n fresh discussion of tha
jury systotn It nl o suggests the questh
lion whether the law is wlsa that perrl
mlts the jury to fix the penalty for
crime
The termination ot this eolobrnted
trial , which has consumed over three
months , will give a sense of rellof ia the
public gcuoritlly It has boon marked
by features which do not rolloct credit
upon the practice in criminal cases ill
this country , nnd it prassnts a striking
example of the nocosslty of reform both
in | the matter of obtaining juries In
criminal cases , aq w.is pointed out by
ox-President Hayes in his address til
the last mooting ot the National Prison
association , and in the practice of the
courU It exhibited to nn oxtrnordi-
nary ! degree the looseness nnd latitude
much too commonly pormlttod In our
criminal trials Another fact In con
noctioii , with the trial which cannot bo
too vigorously conddTiinod wus the
course . of the Chicago prosy , which
was almost a Unit in prejudging the case
against the indicted mon The killing
ol Dr Cronln was undeniably a most
brutal ; crime In all Its nspects it bore
oviddnco of u conspiracy ilondish in
conception and In execution Tiioro
was every justification for the most do-
tcrmincd oiTort in hunting down the
porpotrntors of the crime , and the
prcs3 did well in spurring the authorl-
ties j to the full performance or their duty
But when the mon implicated were
.
in the grasp of the law , and especially
when their prosecution had been en-
,
torcd upon , it was the duty of the news
papers to maintain silence regarding
the question of their guilt orinnoconce
The presumption of the law is that men
accused ot crime are innocent until
they nro pi oven guilty , and it is a prln-
ciplo universally accepted in civilized
communities that justice is subsorvod
where the course of judicial investi-
gatiou is kept free from all infkienco I
that might be oxcrtcd upon it by
public comment But this wise and '
sound principle was wholly disregarded •
by most of the newspapers of Chicago ,
andfrom the opening to the close of the
triartheso papers lost uo opportunity to
prejudice public opinion • lgainst the ac-
cus'jd and toprebcnt the information '
olicitcd on the trial to their disadvant-
ago The efforts of the attorneys for the
defense were persistently denounced or
ridiculed , , and In every possible way
the i developments in the progress -
gross . of the investigation were
shaped , to the detriment of the accused
It ; cannot reasonably be supposed that
all of this failed to roach the attoution
of ' the jury , and it is more than prob- '
able it had some influence upon them
But at any rate the course pursued by
a portion of the Chicago pros3 is a re- '
proaeh to American journalism

OMAHA AND THE rAIIl
When Omaha had the state fair for fire
years It was found Impossible ) to get any at-
8 Is tan co out of her business mon to lecop the
grounds In repair and make the lair attrac
tivo to visitors In consoquonoe of the wunt
of Interest In the matter the fair never paid
expeusos there , and whoa the state board
came with It to Lincoln to recuperate itenmo
heavily lndebtforthaoxpcnsosof tboOmaha
fairs [ lilneolu Journal • . * '
Omaha has never received nnd aoos
not expect fair treatment from the Bur
lington organ It Is a part of its plan
and polloy to villify the metropolis and ,
arraign the state ugulnst her , so that
Lincoln may hog the bonoflts at the ox-
ponso of every pthor community
Whatis imputed to Omaha in the
above quotation is a picture of
the treatment of the fair associa
tion in Lincoln When the fair moved
to Omaha ton years ago the troas-
ury wua empty It Is a notorious fact
that the ch nn go wus made to recuperate
Us finuuees , nnd the sucooss ot the
first as well as succeeding fairs demon
stratod the wisdom ot the managers < ,
Instead of being heavily in debt for
the expenses ot the Omaha fair , the as-
Boclntlon loft this city with a snug bnl-
nnco in the treasury The exact flg-
uresarouotat hand , but wo are in-
formed on crodlblo nuthorlty that the
amount was between live and ten thou )
uld.sand dollars This showsthat the fair
was not only a success ns an exhibit ' ,
but for the first tlnio ln Its history the
Btato association wus placed on a solid
financial foundation
iasTho charge that Omaha business mon
refused to assist in kooplng the grounds
obin repair or to make thorn attraotlvo is
flatly contradlctod by the fact that a large
numbep ot firms orccted bulldiiics , cost
ing from flvo hundred to two thousand
dollars , for their exhibits The-chargo
comes with bad grace from Lincoln
When the fair was located there flvo
yoat-8 : ago the cltizons gave a bond that
they would make all needed improvoIn
monts on the grounds Did they fulfill
tin contract ? The record shows
that the board has expended
fourteen thousand dollars on
the grounds because the Lincoln
pooolo fallod to live up to the conditions
of the bond ,
Although the fair was fifty miles
nway , the people ot Omaha did not sulk
In their tents Their patronage every
year was worth In cash fully as much as
that of Lincoln ,
But Omaha does not propose to enter
Into a controversy with Lincoln or any
other cltv over the fair Per our part
the con lost shall bo ono of friendly
rivalry < If Omaha cannot offer bettor
grounds ) , hotter railroad facilities , ann
unfailing supuly of pure water for all
purpnsos , buildings superior to any yet
used by the association , and better ncMi
cominiKlutioiis for vis'tors ' , wo shall
cheerfully congratulate the successful
compolitur
It is a fair field open to all comers

IK ADVAXQR OP MS PARTI"
It Is duo to Cirovor Cleveland to say
that ho fulfils n requirement of loadoran
ship ] in kooplng in advance of his party
jn inojl respects Ho appears to bo
freer , than any other democrat of the
day from the Inlluenco ot the traditions
ot [ the party , and to desire moro than any
other to elevate the tone and improve
the , charautor of the political organiza
tion } ) , \vhlch ho Is a member The evidence
denco of this is his advocacy ot princlal
pies j und policies originating with and
consistently championed by the rcpubin
licati , parly which have boon steadily
opposed by the democracy
Conspicuous among these are ballot
reform and reform of the clviLsorvIco
As to .ho former Mr Cleveland has
taken mo3t positive ground in It9 favor ,
In his roccut address in Boston ho declared -
clarod that nothing Is moro essential to
the preservation of our institutions ,
nothing 1 ( moro urgently demanded oy
every , consideration of patriotism and
the | future political welfnroof the nation ,
than such reform of the ballot as would
free the suffrage from the ovits of inF
timldatiou and corruption Ho declared
that ] it was too late to temporize
with these evils , aud ho thanked
Massachusetts , whoso republican
party , instituted ballot reform ,
for ( the successful example she
had given the country in this respect ,
Whllo the republican press has very
generally commended this attitude of
Mr Cleveland , wo have not observed
that it has received any very marked
favor / , from the organs of domv
ocratlc opinion The New York
Sun for ovample , which speaks
for , a very considerable demosi
cratic constituency , including the gov-
ornor of the state , says : The demand ;
for ( so-called ballot reform proceeds i
largely i from two sots of people : First ,
the republicans , who want it because 1
they [ think It will lesson the democratic
vote in the state ; and secondly , from 1
doctrinaires and persons of the mugs
wumpian and Cleveland order , who
shout for anything that ha ppens to bo >
labelled [ roformand in that way achieve
a prominence which they could 1
never otherwise attain " It is
sale to say that this voices the sentiment
ot the very largo majority of the
democrats of Now York A law similar
to t that in force in Massachusetts has
been 1 twice passed by the republicans in
the | Now York legislature , twice op-
posed ] with vigor and unanimity by the
democratic members and twice vetoed
by ] Governor Hill ' ' Clearly , therefore i
Mr ; Cleveland is in advance of the party | r
in j his own state on this question , and
undoubtedly i the party generally is not
in ] sympathy with him , nnd for the
reason ; that ballot reform would
olTect , the substantial disfranchise
mont j of a considerable pro
portion of the democratic party whore
over , it should bo applied
Mr Clovolnnd is not any nearer to
1tho general sentiment of his party ro-
garding civil sorvlco reform The last
democratic national platform gave no
pledge ot party support to this reform i ,
and ono of the measures earliest intro
duced into the United States senate at .
the pt'Cbont session was a bill by a demoI
cratic senator to repeal the civil sorvlco
law Conceding to Mr , Cleveland sin
corlty In his position oil this question 1 ,
ho stands almost alone among
*
the lcadors of his paty in support of
civil sorvlco reform , and the number
among the rank and file who favor it is
extremely small Suoh effort as Mr |
Cleveland has made to bring lps party
into sympathy with this reform has
signally fallod Will ho bo likely to
have bettor success in the futuroV
No ono doubts thatMr Cleveland do- )
sires to again bo the candidate of his
party for the prosldoncy The posal- . i
bio effect upon his chances of bis
position regarding these reforms
Is consequently un interesting ques
tion Can ho command the very nocos- I
sary support ot the democracy of Now
York , assuming that ho will have to
contest for it with Governor Hill , when
holding vlows nothi favor with n largo
majority of the democratic party of that
statoV And if ho cannot will the party
make him its candidate at any rate and
7
run the risk of agalu losing Now York ?
Porhnps these questions have boon duly
g.considered by Mr Cleveland and his
friends , and that the course ho'is taking
Is the lesult of a careful aqd dolihorato
calculation ot possible consoquonccs

ones who first catered lis domain , says
the Butte Minor Coming , ns many ot
them did , from homes surrounded by
nil the luxuries nnd civilizing itiflu-

when it was scarce hundreds of dollars
were . paid for u Blnglo sack Money was
plontiful.as it was then that the placer

accumulated ' a liandsomu competence ,
whllo . others have not bcon so fortunate

been fortunate nothing but praise can
bo spoken , because in their olTorts to
nchiovo that which every living man
hopes to possess plenty of money they
had their ups and downs , moro of the i

V . , tenderfoots mecca , ns the old-timors
in | Montana have done These who loft
eastern homes many years ago to invade ,
the unknown products of aborigines
did something which requited grit
After they had crossed the palo ot civ-
iliation ] they did not know at what
moment they would fathom the great
unknown at the hands of the rod man ,
who nt that tlmo was monarch of all ho |
surveyed Many talosof narrow escapes
from Indians caibbo related by many of
them , and yet there was somothlng so
fascinating , about the outdoor , rough
and-turablo way of oxiBting that they
even ! now breathe a sigh of regret when
they awaken to the realization that
these days of bacon nnd beans have for
ever vanished from view Although
the now mon ( commonly known as
tenderfeet ) nro.virtunlly in the west , <
they do uot know nnything about west
ernlif 2. Some of them loft thoi r east
em homos with a goodly supply of
lucre i , earned , porhnps , by their poor
old futhors , and have never even suf-
forodltho , inconvenience of riding out
side of a Pullman sleeper They did
not pack their grub anil biaukots on

a largo salary in

smartness , " This is the caliber of the '
average person who now seeks to usurp
the pluco of the man who for twenty
or thirtv years has labored incessantly
to , establish a commonwealth , that the
tenderfoot . might not bo subjected to
the "horriblo"'fato of having to sloop

Crowding the bjarnsil Professions
The rush to the learned professions
began , it is sometimes affirmed , after
the depression in agriculture and the
corresponding rebound from the comj I
morcial prosperity of ilftoon or twenty i
years ago , suya the London Standard
This may , no doubt , bo partially true
But as the same phoiiomonon has boon
noticed in every other country , the ex
planation may bo sought nlitllo deeper
The real cnuso will , we venture to j
think , bo found in the ovor-lncrcusiug
tondoney on the part of the parents and i
their sons to look to the gentlemanly j
professions instead of the moro lucra-
tive aud moro certain callings of a less J
' * genteel description In Germany I
nnd America this trait Is perhaps oxliib-
,
itod In its most oxacrL'orated form <
simply because in these countries pro '
fesslonaitraining is cheap and the pre
liminary education abundant or easy ( , o
obtain But we boo it everywhere else *
Since the school board brought the
three Its within reach of every childIt
is notorious that these youthful grudu- |
atos hnvo shown a repugnance to the .
useful lives in which they have beou
born , They want to hotter themselves
selves by becoming city dorks or
nursery govornosscs It is the first ro-
Bult produced by an unwonted state of

lee common to bo tnurkotnblo It will
then bo rogardoa simply as a prelim

cedont of what the Germunscall broad
studies " A car pen tor , or a blacksmith i
or a maohlnost , or a shoop-keopor will I
discover that ho is none the worse for ,
