CHINESE LETTER FORGERY.

Chief Justice Noah Davis, of New
York, delivered his opinion Saturday IN
the case of Kenward Philip, charged with
the criminal libel on General Garfield
through the production OF the forged
Morey letter on the Chinese question.
In his charge Judge Davis says ne has
reached the clear conviction that the So
called Morey letter is pure forgery per-
petrated by some person for the purpose
of deceiving the people and defraudng
them and General Garfield out of their
votes. He deals severely with Hon.
Abram S. Hewitt, a member OF the Dem
ocratic National Committee, for his part
in the base and shameful forgery. Mr..
Hewitt feels his castigation SO strongly
that he comes to his own defense and in a
pettifogging manner tries to clear his skirts
of all criminal intention. But infamy OF
the deepest dye is clearly fastened upon
both Mr. Hewitt and Mr.. Rarnum as
chief actors in the most damnable and
execrable transaction ever ATTEMPTED in
the annals Of partisan warfare. The de-
PENDANT Philip was held to answer upon
the charge of libel, and has given bail for
$4,000 for his appearance IN court.
Thus ends the first chapter in this foul
conspiracy Subsequent development in
the case will be watched throughout the
country with much interest

ASTONISHING MAGNITUDE OF
THE CIGAR BUSINESS.

AS matter of interest, showing the
immensely of the business of manufac-
turing cigars in this county, let me state
the condition of one factory in this CITY
which is the largest in the world. The
American cigar sold up to the price of
Is cents retail is better than the same
priced Cuban cigar, and is driving the
latter out of the market The firm allud-
ed to in this city have less than sixty
customers, and they cannot satisfy the
demands Of the customers they have.
They employ l 800 people-men, women
and children-in their factory, and are
building another place, equal in size, to
accommodate 1900 more, and then will
not seek new customer
The following is the statement of that
factory for the month of October: Cigars
delivered during the month. 4,838,5 $50:
wages paid, $64, 1000: paid to the Govern
ment for revenue stamps, $3S, 500; paid
for duties on foreign tobacco, 50, 154;
cigar boxes used during the month, &c.
305.27; leaf tobacco worked up during
the month to produce these cigars, 1901
964 pounds.
This goes to show the immensely of
the cigar manufacturing business in this
country. And it is growing more rapid
ly than can readily be imagined. Mil
lions of American cigars are now export
ed to Europe. The whole product Of
Cuban cigars exported to this country is
but tlife compared with the thousands
of millions made here. New York Cor
respondence Washington Star.

THE SOLUTION.

The Madison Daily Democrat publish
Ell series of articles last week advoca-
ting the disbanding of the democratic
party of the north. 1t gave as a reason
the comparative small vote in the north
ern states for the democratic ticket, and
he few democratic congressman elected
at the recent election. Inasmuch as
there is solid south, it says let there be
solid north But this is as far as it
goes. 1t does not say how the north
shall be made solid. The inference to be
drawn from the articles, however, is that
the desired result should be brought about
by the joining together of the two pre-
dominent parties; or in other words the
democracy coming over to the republican
fold en- masse This no doubt would
meet with the approval of great many
democrats. There is no Disgusting the
cratic party is ashamed of its record, and
would gladly welcome some such change
of front as the Democrat suggests. These
men were born and bred democrats, and
remain with the organization, not because
they endorse the record of the democratic
party the past. twenty years, OF feel at
home with the rebel element which con-
trolls it at the present time, but because
they have reverence for the name Of
the party in which they were reared and
to which their fathers belonged. A good
share of this class of democrats were
known during the war as war-democrats,
whom we all know made pretty good re-
publicans during the time they were fight
ing for the Union and acting with the
republican party.
Other newspapers and individuals are
calling for dissolution of the democratic
party Cor the purpose of organizing new
party. 1t is difficult to see how any new
new organization could be formed under
the present condition of. things which
would be any stonger numerically than
the present democratic party. The re-
publican party was never in better con-
dition than it is to-day. There are no
disconnected grumblers in its ranks, and
the proposed new movement could not
expect to recruit more from this source
than the democracy would loose in deser-
tons in making the change. The new
organization would be composed almost
exclusively of members of the old demo-
cratic party, and the only thing to be
gained by the change would be found in
the fact, that instead of being loaded
down with a multitude of sins, as the
democracy now is, the new party would
start off with no record, which in sense
is clean one. If rightly conducted the
new party in time might become a popu-
lar one. But of this there no certainty.
The democracy, however, have every
thing to gain and nothing to lose in go
ing into the new movement. If the
scheme does not win it will be no worse
off than it is now. 1t has evidently given
up all hopes of getting into power under
the present order of things, and hence
this cry for "a change

4 sot,n so1rrH NO GooD.-The

A Solid SOUTH NO GooD.-The Bour-
bon papers in the South are misleading
the people again for partisan purposes:
They are paving the way for the solid
South to be hammered still more. They
are the fellows who shrug their shoulders,
smile peculiarly and assert that the dev-
lish Bourbons do no harm, for the North
ern people care nothing about them.
Knocked fat on their back, they are all
ready scrambling to their feet, declaring
they only slipped and fell. 1t won't do:
Their lies are too thin. A political solid
South is no good. We must drop senti-
ment, erase the sectional line, set the ex-
ample of honesty in politics, and look to
our local affairs and our material interests.

Cassidy, of GAINESVILLE, Associate Justice
in place of Associate Justice Cole resign
ed. Judge Cole was first elected to a posi-
ton on the supreme bench in 1855 and
has since held the position uninterrupted
ly. Having served twenty-five years as
one of the Judges of the Supreme Court,
it may be said that he has Justly earned
his promotion. Judge Cole, stands in
the front rank of American Jurists and is
eminently fitted for the distinguished
position to which he has been called
Mr.. Cassidy has long been recognized as
one of the leading men of the Wisconsin
bar and his qualifications for the position
for which he. has been named are beyond
question. An election will be held next
spring for Chief and Associate Justices
and Cole and Cassoday will no doubt be
reelected to ill the respective positions
for full terms.

GENERAL GARFIELD is still member
of the house of representatives, his term
expiring next March 4th He is also a
United States senator-elect, for the term
beginning next March 4th. But he will
not again take his seat as member of
the house, but will resign both his seat in
the house and his senatorial seat. 1t is
expected the candidate who was elected
in October to succeed him in the forty
seventh congress will also be elected to
serve out his unexpired term in the forty
sixth. 1t only requires ten days notice
to elect successor, and in the Western
Reserve in Ohio there is no doubt of the
result in a political sense. The Ohio
legislature will next winter elect sena-
tor, Secretary Sherman and Governor
Foster being the chief competitors Gen
eral Garfield's friends intend to make his
inauguration as president in March an
imposing event.
