morrow evening by Mr.. William Dickson,
chairman of the central committee. As tho

of district suffrage plank in the national
platform, also to try and secure tho passage

The District Temperance Alliance.

The District Temperance Alliance held a
large and enthusiastic mass meeting at
Fletcher chapel, corner Fourth and New York

whether tho liquor traffic shall continue in

The Dynamite Conapirncy.

England must enforce her own laws. Tho
United States cannot be expected to protect
her citizens from dynamite explosions or any
other form of violence. The conspirators who
place Internal machines where they will do
the most harm arc entirely out of our .juris-
diction. If the English police force and the
argus-eyed English detectives are unable to
discover the wicked men who are actively
engaged in distributing dynamite, how can
they expect the United States government to
do this work for them? From the very
nature of the case il is much more difficult to
prove that man procures dynamite in this
country with criminal intent than to prove
that he uses it in England for murderous
purposes. The prosecution must be con.
Quoted where the overt act is committed.
All the officers in the civil service con.
nected with the enforcement of tho criminal
statutes have been instructed to look out for
persons engaged in manufacturing explosives
for shipment to foreign countries, and Gus.
toms officers have been directed to take
special pains to prevent such dangerous
freight from being put on shipbOard. We
have no reason to suppose that the instruc-
tions issued by tho attorney general upon
this subject are not being carried out in
good faith But if the English detectives are
unable to identity a dynamite machine whom
it is laid on tho wharf how are the United
States custom house officers to know that it is
not an ordinary commercial packageH
While the English newspapers are complain
ing of the failure OF the United States govern
ment to break up the dynamite conspiracy
it is in order to remark that some twenty
three years ago conspiracy against tho
United States government was carried on in
England, and although its chief promoters
were as we'll known to tho English public as
if they had boon princes of the royal blood
they never wero arrested nor .interiered with
in any way, 1t was only after long and per

JUDGE WYLIE left very little for the jury
to do in the detective cases Saturday. The
judges charge was, in fact, an acquittal. OF
Judge Wylie's Interpretation of the law it
would perhaps be presumptuous for simple
lsyman to speak further than to say that if
it is correct, no detective in collusion with
thieves could be convicted unless he actually
made his arrangements with them in
the presence of witnesses of good
character. A layman might also
be permitted to say that, if Judge Wylie's
Interpretation of the law is correct, the season
for amending the law has arrived
There were several other things in Judge
Wylie's charge to the jury, if he has been
correctly reported, besides Interpretation OF
law. There was an apology for McDevitts
poor memory and his manner upon tho stand,
as we'll as an implied defense of his character
and reputation. There was an argument for
the defense in reviewing tho testimony of
Hebhard. There was another argument for the
defense in reviewing the testimony of Hovan,
0nd from that argument the judge announced
his conclusion that Hovan was q liar. The
entire testimony of Hovan, which the judge
admitted as competent, was virtually taken
away from the jury by the judges assertion
that it would be a disgrace to tho admins
tration ofjustice if any jury in this country
could found verdict upon the testimony OF
such man. This, too, although the law al
lows the wtness's criminal history to be intro
duced; in evidence to affect his credibility
and with this aid leaves the jury tc
decide how much credit it shall
giye to his testimony. Finally, the judges
charge contained an intimation that the citi
zcns' committee, which was formed for no
other purpose than to stop the robberic'
which had been perpetrated in this CITY, wal
animated by mistaken zeal which over
leaped itself.

And every fond hope that memory rears
Is dashed 10 the earth by doubts and by fears
Time in his flight sears the heart every hour,
Those fondly trusted decay like the flower,
Sweets that we've tasted grow bitterly sour,
And friends turn from us in pamperlng power.
