No family should be without copy
of Mahone's letter on the decapitation
of Wolff. 1t is full of the seed from
which Democratic victories ought to
be reaped. Unless the Administra-
ton rises up and repudiates Malone,
it will be held responsible for the de-
grading utterances and acts of the
Virginia boss. The difference be-
tween Malone and the stalwart bosses
is that he talks out boldly what they
whisper in secret, and he performs un-
shamed, in open day, such acts as they
never dared attempt except by circu-
itous routes and under false pretenses.
The stalwarts cannot afford to have
their principles and policy exposed in
all their brutal coarseness. The Ad-
ministration is too heavily weighted
by this coarse Virginia trader. The
methods of the slave dealer in the
olden time were not more repulsive.

The Michigan Democrats struck the
right key when they declared that mo
species of industry should be fostered
to the injury of another; that no class
of men should be taxed directly or in
directly for the benefit of another !;
that every description Of industry
should stand or fall on its own merits;
that the existing protective tariff is an
outrageous scheme of plumber, and in
principle and detail violates every
Democratic principle of right and JUS
tice." When the Democrats of the
whole country shall make a similar
declaration, and Democratic speakers
and writers who understand the sub
ject shall make it plain to the voters,
revenue tariff will be adopted, and
every man, woman and child through
out the broad limits of the land will
experience some of the accruing ben
efts and be relieved of existing oner-
Gus burdens.

Can Malone trade off the Demo-
Gratis of Virginia for the government
patronage and the privilege Of extort-
ing money from government employees?
Some will follow him, but the true
Democrat will not be Republican
because Malone says he must be Re-
publican. Mahone's orders will not
be obeyed by the freemen of Virginia.

WHAT Do YOUR CHILDREN READ :?
The greatest trouble which ensues
from placing sensational literature in
the hands Of children is the false idea
Of life which it produces. Many chill
dren, every year, after reading those
brilliant adventures and golden des-
criptions of the Great West, have be-
come dissatisfied with the tame and
seemingly uneventful school life, and
have left their homes to seek their for
tunes abroad. Most of these deluded
fortune hunters find their mistake and
like the prodigal, return, but with the
taste for good reading impaired. Such
literature should not be placed within
the reach of children. There are
plenty os good useful books of moral
tone that are suitable, pleasing, and
at the same rime instructive If nov
els must be read-none can deny that
a good novel occasionally does no harm
historical are preferable to those
whose chief merits seem to be the ex-
element they may produce and the
false ideas of life they may create
Every piece child reads should con-
tain a grain of truth, moral. philosoph-
ical, political or historical, that it may
spring up and bear some fruit Of use
fulness. 1t is quite important, too,
that the youth should be conversant
with the topics of the day, which may
be found in the leading papers. No
one can be considered we'll read who
knows nothing of the literature of the
times.

The great trouble with the machine
political parties is that the majority of
their candidates are composed of wind
and aristocracy. This country wan is
men to represent it-men to lead and
direct its government and its laws in
the proper direction. And this can
not be done by brainless snobbery or
apish wind bladders it cannot be
done by men who gain power with
riches and bribery, and seek offices
merely to attain national prominence
and titles. The people want men like
themselves to represent them-men
who can feel the heart throbs of pow
erty. and understand the bitter war
between honest labor and corrupt cap
ital. Let these men be men of educa-
ton and brains, not bar-roem loafers,
foreign demagoues, brutal lobby poll
ticians and guttersnipes. There are
thousands of men in the common walks
of life well able to manage our ma
tional welfare. To the good lawyers
the experienced merchants, and others
in the common walks of life, belong
the high places.

A number of Readjjusters of King
George have announced their purpose
to support Massey. This is what hon
est Democratic Readjusters are doing
all over the State. They recognize
Massey as a Democrat whom they can
consistently support, whilst they rec
ognize John S. Wise as Republican
of the stalwart stripe whom they can
not support. Democratic Readjusters
will support Massey, the Democrat, in
preference to Wise, the Republican.

Aristides Welcls Pays Commodore Ktttson
$4,000 and Retains His Famous Farm.
philadelphia Times, Jan. 12.l
Aristides WEIGH has resolved to retain
the ownership of Erdenhelm, his famous
Chestnut Hill stock farm, where Harold,
Parole, Iroquois, and so many other great
racers were bred. 1t appears that after
the farm and stock were sold to Commo-
dore Kittson, of Minnesota, Mr.. Welch's
children and other relatives prevailed
upon him to reconsider the sale, arguing
that he would not be contented away
from his old home, and that as he was an
aged man, and the business of stock rails
ing was congenlal, it would be better for
him to remain at Erdenheim than visit
Europe, as he intended. These arguments
prevailed, and Mr.. WEIGH asked Commo-
dore Kittson to allow him to pay forfeit
and retain the farm. The Commodore
objected at first, but finally agreed to give
up his bargain and accept the small for
felt of $1,000 in cash and two brood
mares, valued at $500. The forfeit was
paid in New York yesterday, when Com
modore Kittson presented his agent, Mr..
Hubbell, with $500 Of the forfeit money.
Erdenheim was at once conveyed back to
Mr. Welch, who will manage it as here
tofOre.

the rear brakeman Of the New York special

charged with being the cause of the disaster,
arrived here last night and went South this
morning with his brother, Conductor Melins,
Of the Poughkeepsie train. In conversation
with the latter, he said he went back
with his red light far enough to see Spuyten
Duyvel Bridge and that when
it was running at the rate Of forty
miles an hour and the engine using steam
Conductor Mslius told him the train could
not have been running that fast as 1t had just
left Spuyten Duyvel station. Brakeman Melius
replied, anyhow it was going very fast. Train
Dispatcher Cossum said II Melius went back
far enough to see the spuyten Duyvel bridge,
his red light would have been seen by the

enough to stop the train. It took me about
five minutes, perhaps less, to walk the dis

about one or two minutes, perhaps three min

I stopped then because I considered the dis
lance long enough to stay any train. There
was time enough to walk back to Spuyten
Duyvel station, which was about quarter or
half mile away, but did not consider 1t
necessary. I knew there was a train behind

Brooks, the chief of the treasury detectives,
who visited the prisoner in the night, and
whose evidence the prosecution tried so hard
to suppress, as they they did the notes OF
Bailey, the evidence of Detective McElfresh,
and in fact all the evidence that might in any
way aid the prisoner, Reed claimed came like
gOdsend.
aUIrEAU'S INSANITY.
Reed went on at some length in an argument
to demonstrate the insanity of the prisoner.
His father, he maintained, was insane
religious subjects and forced him into that
vestibule of hell, the Oneida community. "Be-
fore that he had led pure life and his father
had convinced him he would go to hell unless
he became member of the Oneida commune
ty, and he went there to save his SOUL"
Guiteau abruptly said: "When got there,
l got into hell. and l did not get out for six
years."
PERoRATIoN.
In conclusion Reed said: Gentlemen OF the
jury, You all said when you were sworn, that
you would be governed by the evidence and
stand up to it without regard to the effect it
might have on you and your business. ad-
jure you to keep that oath. Falter not in the
performance Of the duty which shall save you
and this fair land from eternal disgrace. as
sert that conviction of this man to the gal
lows and his execution would be an infamy
beyond description, an indelible stain on Amer
lean jurisprudence and American juries. Think
of the scene if you condemn him to the gal
lows. Though not present in body to see the
sight you cannot but be there in mind if
such day shall eyer come. do not be
lieve it ever can come under this
evidence. Think of this man brought out
from his cell, with the same pale face and
same wandering eyes, the officers of the law
gathering round him, pinioning him, binding
him with cords, so his muscles stand out,
covering him with black hood, shutting out
the light of day from him, and leading him
to the scaffold."
The prisoner would rather 60 that way
than be smashed up in railroad cars as some
poor fellows were last night.
Reed, continuing-"Thinko of him, a lunatic,
to the gallows-a lunatic whom
the Savior, if he were on earth, would heal.
The picture is not overdrawn. / am very
much Obliged to you for your attention.
ouly ask, you, pray do that much, shall not
in after years bring blush of shame to your
cheeks"
The prisoner-"Reed is good fellow, but
would not give cent bushel for his rub
bish. If l could only have talk with that
Jury would give them the right theory"
The court then adjourned. Reeds argu
ment was listened to with close attention and
evident interest from the beginning to its
close. Mrs. Scovills sat all day in a mournful
attitude with her hand covering her face most
Of the time to conceal her tears, while her
little daughter stood by her side and by her
,aresses sought to curb her grief.
