CANTRILL AND CANTRILL'S COURT.
lie Rockville Tribune very cleverly makes the point that a Democratic jury in Missouri will convict a Democratic bohticmn of a grave crime when proved guilty, a Democratic :ury in Kentucky might be safely relied upon to acquit a Republican politician if proved iniiocent. The argument is Sound and the deduction logical It. is doubtless true that Kentucky juries generally speaking render just verdicts but is an exception proves every rule so the Goebel prosecution iecisions serve in this case. The court which has tried these •ases has not been a representative court of the Blue Grass .Oommohwealth. In fact, it has represented nothing except the anarchic spirit of usurpation and tyranny which is the ioul of Gocbelism. It has been lawlessness cloaked in the labilinients law. Tn the name of justice it has intlieted inustice. It has enthroned wrong while assuming to do right.
In no instance has it displayed or pretended to display a spirit fairness or tolerance. It has been whitecapism. domineerng and swaggering whitecapism, on the bench and in the jur.y5ox. .ludge Cant-rill—God save the title—a man of blood llid violence has sat at every case in the dual capacity of trial iiidge and prosecutor. Bitterly prejudiced, thundering invective at the accused and biased arguments to the jury, iglonng the common usages of law. to bolster the prosecutions »uise. and stooping to Ihe meanest .subterfuges to secure conditions in tiie eases he- had sworn before God to try impartil!3y. this man .Cantrill has disgraced the Kentucky practice Did the Kentucky judiciary in the eyes of the whole world. iVIiere else could a judge be found who would refuse, to surtender the bench when openly accused under oath of prejuand maladministrationWhat other judge would with amlicious fury continue a case when the defendant tossed •i-jfith delirious fever on a, cot before the eyes of the jury? In ivhot other court, in what other land could we find a duplication of the foul abuses which have disgraced the name of law
Cantrill's court? In the Jewish prosecutions of far RoUnania? Possibly, but not probably. Cantrill's court maintains a magnificent isolation in the province of the polluted. The man himself outheiods Herod.
The announcement that Major Glenn is to be tried for ex-'-•cuting a couple of guides during the campaign in Samar will lot be received with good grace by the majority of the peoale of the United States, who are becoming disgusted with the deference shown the wishes of a small bunch of so-called luti-imperialists. These noisy notoriety seekers will never )0 satisfied or convinced anyhow so there is no use paying atention to them. They simply crave prominence in the public ye and in demanding the prosecution of Major Glenn they ieek not justice but to pose for publicity. Major Glenn never ienied executing the guides and the first knowldge of the transaction was obtained from his report. The guides that vcre put to death deserved their punishment. They treacherously led our troops into ambush and their guilt being estab'ished only one thing remained to be done. That was done.
That it was, reflects credit on the high soldierly character of :iie gallant Major Glenn.
•A Edward Wooten, a farmer living near this city, is being .iriticised for stating when called for federal jury service at Indianapolis that he thought that the negro Ward, who was lynched here some months ago, got his deserts, although he (Wooten) did not favor lynch law. Possibly Mr. Wooten has
Jeen misunderstood. Is it not possible for one to feel that iVard richly deserved all that he received and at the same time find no excuse for the wretches Who disgraced the comInunity by slaying him? Mr. Wootn's answer to the question touching his competency to serve as juror is open to thia in--
ierprctation and he is entitled to the benefit of it.
It lieVe'r"pays to light the inauguration of labor saving machinery and the fact is now being forcefully demonstrated
the shoe making districts of England. The workmen there have alwafs fought the machine made shoe and have oersisted in manufacturing hand made goods. As a consejuence the American machine made shoes have supplanted their wares even in their very home towns and the English shoemakers are out of work. Their shops are closed and their occupation gone. In this age of strenuous competition it pays, to keep abreast of the times. '.J ••,,
Ex-Speaker Thomas B. Reed very ably defends the protective tariff in an article in one of the leading reviews and makes an exceedingly strong point by demonstrating that in the century and a quarter df- the alternate triumph and defeat of the protective policy prosperity lias always followed triumph and hard times followed defeat. It would seem that rver a century of unvarying and conclusive experiments ought suffice to convince any one of the soundness of the doctrine of protection.. asm

THE WIDE WORLD ROUND,
Why Jlhe Salcon Succeed*,
Rev. George L. McNutt, formerly paster of a Presbyterian church in Indianapolis, but who latterly has given himself over to sociological study and worked as a day laborer makes the following interesting comment on the saloon:
I never knew as a minister, as a student, as a man. what it means when the whistle blows at night and the curtain falls Upon the city, and men crawl out of the ditches and from off scaffolds and out from behind machines, and, after the hurried meal, go out on the streets and find that the only man who has thought about them, who is waiting for them, who
a hand reaching out .to them, is the man behind the bar. I knew the saloon was a place to bii}' drinks. I never realized that it was a great social institution built up quietly and in a business Avav while we slept. I never before realized what it meant to be a hungry man on the street, alone, and go, as I have gone in sheer necessity, to the bar and ask for a glass of milk and get all I waifted to eat and no question asked.
We are talking about having temperance, saloons in this city. We shall find the salonkeeper has been twenty-five years ahead of us.' Every saloon is also a temperance saloon. There is milk, and good milk, to be had. 1 never had a saloonkeeper offer me anything but what I asked for. I have gone to a church and have been shown to a seat under the gallery in an inconspicuous place.
I have gone out and gone among men and sat down in saloon reading rooms, atid have realized the power there is in a nmn shrewd enough to provide watering troughs for a man's horse and the social necessity men crave.-
When I haye seen men in groups sitting around discussing their employment for next week, and such other matters as you and I love to discuss in our homes and clubs, I have realized that if youjire Colonel So-and-So, or Honorable So-and-So, you can join the Union League Club, or some other great metropolitan club but I never realized before what it meant that for five cents a man can join the one only Democratic gettogether club made possible by a man who caters to vicious wants but also supplies social and physical necessities.
I remember how in algebra we used to solve equations, by addition, by subtraction and by substitution. We have tried to work out the saloon question by detraction, by denunciation and by injunction yet have we ever seriously grasped the meaning of the life of a man, of the unknown man in a city, and undertaken to solve the saloon question by substitution?
The saloon will stay in spite of prayers, in spite of legislation, until there comes into this world a recognition of manhood Democracy, "A mail's a man for 'a that." .'
And we, because we name the-name of Christ, because W'e dare to preach the gospel, shall not we take away the reproach of this great city today that it is so easy to, go wrong, that it is almost impossible for a man in common clothes not to go into the associations
of
evil?
Shall M'e not purify our city and make it easy for an unknown man to go right? That will cost money, won't it? Yes but what is money for, if not for better manhood? When we have ringing in our ears the words of the richest, man in the city. "It is a disgrace to die rich," I wonder what money in the church is for. S -j

FOR BETTFR SERVICE Manager Wells Promises Some New Cars for the North Thirteenth
Street Electric Line.
There has been much complaint about the inadequate street car service on the North Thirteenth street line. This is one of the best lines in the city, and at the same time has the poorest equipment of cars. TITe cars are small and will little more than half accommodate the traffic, and many of the working men who live on North Thirteenth street or near the vicinity claim that it requires nearly an hour to get to and from their work. Manager Wells says that this state of affairs is forced by a scarcity of cars, and that he is having some new cars made ready which will be placed on the service within the next two weeks. Five ears purchased from another city are being worked over for this service, and when they are ready they will relieve the present strain. Three interurbans have been ordered from St. Louis and when they arrive they will be placed into service at once, to aid in the city traffic during the busy hours, when people are going to and from their work. In referring to the suspension of traffic oil Maple avenue and •the order from the council, Manager Wells says the matter will be taken up with the sewer contractor at~ once, and arrangements made for the construction of a temporary track for service until the sewer is completed.
