WASHINGTON, January 1s.-The hearing
Of the straw bond star route cases was re-
sumed to-day. The first persons who ap-
peared were two employees of the Postoiiice
Department, who carried two bushel
baskets filled with bids made by Cabell at
one letting.
Col. Bliss said he would confne himself
entirely to-day to proving the papers which
they wished to bring before the court to be

Office Department
Judge Smell asked II it was the deliberate
intention OF the defence to compel the
court to listen to the reading Of $4,000 pa
pers Of this kind, "alike, with the excep-
ton Of change Of places" 1t would con-
sumo the time OF the court for year.
Mr.. Bliss (Sotto voce), "Thats what he
wants. 1t will keep his clients out Of jail
for that time"
In the course Of his argument Colonel
Totten said there had been no evidence
whatever offered that would tend to show
the existence Of conspiracy before admit
ting the papers, which, from their nature,
could not OF themselves show this, Let the
prosecution present some evidence that
would connect the papers with the case.
The Court in reply said that il It appeared
that the defendants had caused loss to
the United States; that II they had perjured
themselves in connection with these bids,
and if they had gone on the bonds for
enOrn0uR sums. far beyond their means

HUTCHINSON, Ks, June 3-The
temperance folkes are jubilant to-
night over their success in convicting
Isaac Welienbcrger of violating the
prohibiIory law. Isaac has been run
ming notorious hole for some
months, and was convicted three
months ago and served thirty days
in jail. The suit that was termnia-
ted to-day has been tried three times
before, and although tine evidence
was unequivocal in each, they al
ways found some one 10 hang the iu-
ry. This makes the ninth conviction
in Reno county. Wollcnbergcr was
fined 500 and costs, which amounts
to about 5000, and was ordered com
mittea to jail until all was paid. The
case of Henry iiegewer Of Arlington,
resulted in conviction on four counts.
While these cases will probably be
appealed, the decision will not be re-
versed, as the people are becoming
aroused on the prohibition question.

The Convention.

BY this time, the Democratic Con-
vention has probably settled the fate
of the Democratic party for the next
two years. Berry, no doubt, has
been nominated for governor, Frolich
Secretary of State, Woodruff Treas
urer, Moore Attorney General, and
Denton School Superintendent. So
far, the ticket has been settled by
county conventions. We think they
are all good, safe and reliable men.
and in every way worthy the conf
dencc and support of the people.
The rest of the ticket is uncertain,
but everything indicates harmony in
the convention. With good men,
and a good platform of principles,
success is certain but rven the dem
ocratic party, with its immense ma
lority cannot guarantee endorsement
and election to drunken, incompe-
tent nominees. All the above nam
ed gentlemen are sober, competent
men, and Berry is in full sympathy
with the temperance cause; in fact,
we believe that the temperance SEN
timent is SO strong, every nominee
will be like Berry. If this is so, and
we will soon know, there will be no
scratching, but the ticket will com
mand the full vote of the sober De-
mocracy. We hope that with the
incoming administration, new era
of peace and prosperity will dawn
upon Arkansas, and the democratic
party sober and temperate will have
a noble record to show to the people
