The Whitman Mystery.
NEW DEvELoPMENrs-PRoBAB THAT THE
CASE ABANDONED.

NEW DKvELoPMENTs-PRoBAB THAT THE
CASE Is ABANDONED.
Newlv-discovered evidence 10 the case Of Ma
bel j. Whitman is said 70 dispel some Of the
mystery Attending the death Of her mother. AT
the examination, il will be remembered. the gov
eminent testimony Chat of Mr.. Hovey, the apoth-
ecarv, whose evidence was not favorably com
mentcd upon by the court) was to the effect that
Mabel called at his store for morphine between
noon and P. NJ, Wednesday, Oct. l6; that he
did not have the morphine, but sent for il TO
neighboring apothecary Mabel waiting until the
messenger returned. Now, it is asserted that
this delivery was made between 2 and p. NJ,
when Mabel was in school, consequently the gov
eminent testimony in that regard falls TO the
ground. Another statement Is made to the effect
that Mrs. Whitman was seen upon Main street
in the neighborhood Of Tlovey's apothecary store
between IL and o'clock, Monday, the hour fixed
bv Hovey as the time during which the first pur-
chase of arsenic was made. The theory is that
she purchased the poison herself, left the store
and W 'ked down street, through alley-wa
which e.. the corner" to her own house.
Soon after, she left her house and proceeded
along Essex to Main street, where she took a car
for the city proper. These statements, while not
conclusive evidence, sufficiently indicative to
strengthen the very general impression thst the
acauitta Of the little girl Just. II is said that
no further prosecution of the matter will be
made. At least one of the most prominent gov
eminent officials who investigated the case for
prosecution. expresses perfect confidence that the
death Of Mrs. Whitman was caused By accidental
poisoning. and, while he affirms that the autbori-
ties could have pursued no other course than to
detain Mabel until after judicial examination
he regrets that this necessity was imposed upon
them by parties outside the family. No endeavor
hiss been made to present the case to the Grand
Jury for indictment, and it is not thought that
any endeavor of this character will ever be made,
unless the case assumes greatly different aspect
Miss Whitman and her aunt visited the house in
the Bupker-Hill District, where Mrs. Whitman
died, on Saturday. and made very few calls upon
some schoolmates. 1t is understood that Mabel
will spend the winter at Carthage Me-, returning
to this city In the SPRING Trapeller.

THE Fort Dodge Gazette felt called
upon, last week, to vindicate the record
of the State Register as a champion OF
economy and retrenchment, against Ger
tain structures in the BULLETIN. In
doing SO. it INDUCES in a dozen lines OF
more of glowing ~panegyric of the Regis
ter, and then spoils it all by the follow.
ing:
We at times thought the Register should
have sat squarely down on the Infamous sewer
steal, but while it did not, to its credit be II
said, it never uttered a word in its favor. no
from anything that ever appeared in the daily
issue could any man infer that the Register
even approved of this outrageous swindle.
Now, the above implication that the
Register winked at the Infamous sewer
STEAL" said Outrageous swindle" being
perpetrated for the benefit of it's own
locality, Is only conirmatory of our es
innate of the Registers professions Of
championship of retrenchment. The
fact that the Gazette is compelled to in.
terpose an apologize explanation, that
the Register never uttered a word il
favor of the steal, only adds to the
weight of its reinforcement of oul
views. We are glad to have the Ga
Sette's testimony to strengthen u own
but it is altogether likely that the Reg
lister is praying to be delivered from it,

to this or that act of the President,
look with a great deal of disgust on the
course of those leaders on both sides at

That may be-and probably is-a popu-
lar thing at Washington; but the great
mass Of the voters away from Washing

A much larger proportion of voters in
both parties than Congressman are
aware of overlook the incidental mis-
takes of President Hayes, believing that

motives; that his aim is to administer
the government in the interests Of all

not in his own interest or that Of his

The Laughing. Stock OF tile People,
Chicago Tribune

HicuS iIApohS
The Greenbackers of Iowa, at their
State Convention on Wednesday, passed
a long string of resolutions, some of
which exhibit remarkable Ignorance and
stupidity. Take this plank as a sample:
We demand the remonetization of the silver
ment of all coin bonds of the Government, and
for all other debts, public or private, and that
the coinage of silver shall be placed on the
same footing as that of gold.
The persons who wrote and voted for
this resolution appear not to have
known of the passage of the silver re-
monetization bill we the Presidents
veto. We had not supposed there was
a man in the United States who can
read but knew that silver had already
been restored to the currency as "a full
legal tender for the payment of all coin
bonds of the Government, and for all
other debts, public and private and
that silver now stands before the law
on precisely equal footing with gold in
it's rights and privileges. Where have
those Iowa Greenbackers been during
the last two months that they did not
know of the passage of the silver bill?
Do none of them read the newspapers?
Do they never go to town and hear the
news? Are they are blind and deaf?
This plank three will make them and
their platform the lau~ghing-stock of the
people of Iowa during the ensuing polit-
zeal campaign.

THE State Registers usual and favor
lite role is that of red hot and unscrup-
ulous p%artisanship and bigotry, but it
occasionally, and with the utmost facil-
ity, drops into the blankest stupidity.
Thus, in it's regular Tuesday thrust at
the BULLETIN this week, it siezes upon
the reception given Gov. Gear by our
military company, the Guards, last
week, to prove that the BULLETIN has
NJ. influence in it's own field. This in
allusion to our opposition to the nomi-
nation of Mr.. Gear for Governor, in the
last campaign. The demonstration by
the Guards was but a graceful and prop
err expression of respect for the Cover
nor of the State and co%mmander-in-
chief Of it's military forces, who, be-
sides, is worthy of regard as a genial
gentleman, 1t was participated in by
men of all parties, not one of whom was
ninny enough to suppose that by thus
honoring the chief magistrate, he was
vindicating him as a politician or con
demning anybody else. Is it possible
that the young man at the Capital can
not see that in his blind rage, because
of our non-appreciation of his wisdcm
or honesty, that he is, in fact, making a
dementcd ass of himself ?
