The finding of the cOrOner's jury IL sur
prise to no one, and could hardly be other
wise in its nature. While the evidence Is
purely OF circumstantial aud visionary
nature, IL bears certain features so strong
iy pointing to Bradley as the guilty party,
that it was right ard proper for them to
recommend that he be arrested on the
charge OF murder and bound over for trial in
the district court, and we presume the
county attorney will take all necessary
steps to this end to-day. In our judgment,
however, he should not be the only one
held to answer for this crime, as it is quite
evident that if he is really guilty Of the
deed, he was greatly Influenced to the act
by the woman Cyclone, who seems to eXer-
else wonderful power over his every
way. While Bradley is strongly marked by
dissipation and has probably long been as
ISOLATED with the lowest element OF society,
he has not vicious look or appearance, and
IL he is guilty there is but little doubt that
money influence was brought to bear,
which led him to the act. However, Ms he
has been committed to await trial, no
doubt all facts will be brought
out at the proper time, and
until then it is but just to suspend judg-
ment rs to his guilt or innocence. Every
opportunity should be afforded him for
fair and impartial trial, and this we know
he will receive at the hands OF the people
OF this county. Att0rneg Wall has been re-
tained as his counsel, and j. ID. Houston
will assist the prosecution.

The coassmpt Decision.


The opinion delivered BY Judge johnson
takes the mind back to those dreary times
when liberty dwelt only in the visions OF
poets and the face of a Judgewas more ter
rible to behold than that OF his Satanic
Majesty of the Inferno. Judge johnson de
clares the Supreme Court of Appeals OF
West Virginia to be above legislative power
and independent of all constitutional re-
strictions. We beg leave to say
that in the bill Of rights in our State Con-
stitution, we find that civil salts for libel
shall be tried by jury. The Judges are
citizens, and if in their Court they could not
empanel a jury, why not appeal to the
higher law, in those courts created
for the fair and impartial admins
tration of Justice by a jury. The
imaginary ermine cannot Justify or make
safe an outrageous act of usurpation. 1t
must not be inferred from what we have
written that any defense is intended OF the
parties charged with constructive con.
tempt" We have nothing to do with that.
1t is the duty of the press to censure, in
stern, honest spirit, this high-handed ag-
erosion on its liberty.
We want no Mokannas on the bench.
We desire to see an incorruptiHe, intelh-
gent Judiciary, free from offensive egotism
and the assumption of power, which only
tyrants would claim. If editors abuse their
duties and responsibilities, let them be pun
ished, but punished by constitutional au-
thority vested in twelve sworn men, their
peers.
The power exercised BY the Supreme
Court Of Appeals of West Virginia, in the
cause above referred to, partake Of the very
essence and rankness of despotism.'

Wants to Trade.


There is price altogether too high to be
paid for John Kellys support Of the Demo
cratic national ticket, but there are already
intimatiors audible iE the political atmos-
phere of this city that he is bargaining for
It. We mean the giving him control in
municipal affairs under the reform legisla-
ton Of last winter He wants to designate
the next Mayor, Controller. and President
Of the Board of Aldermen, Of this city as the
price of supporting the national ticket of his
own party, leaving to other factions the
changes for Federal patronage. This re-
veals the motive and purpose of his OppoSi-
ton. If there is q decent Democratic or
ganization in the city it will not consent to
any such infamous trade, but will start
movement that shall bring the honest
Cleveland vote to the support of worthy
candidate for Mayor and leave John Kelly
to do his worst in the national contest. II
is our belief that they can better DO without
his help than accept it at his price.

The Grand lingo Surplus.
Nsls IiNk Word.


Mr.. Blaine is distinct and emphatic on
one subject, If he is tricky and eyasive on
others. BE wants the surplus revenue, roll
ing up at the average OF 100000, 600 year
IL, to continue.
NO dollar has been wasted" cries Mr.
Blaine, and so he insists that the aceumuia-
ton of the great corruption surplus shall
not cease.
What is Mr.. Blaine's excuse for hanging
on to the surplus2 at is applied to the re-
duction Of the debt" he says, 'and the con-
seouent relief of the burden Of taxation.
So in order to pay rapidly and ;niuriousiy
to the banking interests of the country a
debt which bears an interest Of three or
three and half per cent, he insists on
piling the burden" Of taxation on the
people Of to-day heavily enough to raise
SlOC 900, 900 year more than than the
Government needs!
In his defense Of the surplus Mr.. Blaine
stands alone The Republicans affect a
desire to wipe it out. The Tariff Commits
sion was framed with that pretended object.
The tariff bill of the Keifer Congress was
passed under the false preteuse that 1t would
reduce the surplus.
Mr.. Blaine is therefore in conflict with his
party. More than that-he is in direct con-
lict with the platform Of the convention
which nominated him.
The Republican party pledges itself,
saws the Chicago platform, ito reduce the
surplus, not BY the vicious and indiscrimin-
ate process Of horizontal reduction, but by
such methods as will relieve the taxpayer
without injuring the laborer or the great
productive interests of the country"
Now comes BLAINE, the candidate, into
the field and reNudiates the platform. The
Democrats cry out against the surplus, he
SAYS, but we will keep it where it is. Not
dollar of it is wasted"
The surplus is needed to carry out the
magnificent Blaine policy. 1t is the capital
of Jingoism, the hope of the buccaneers, the
life and soul of Free Lance Administra-
ton.

High Taxes and Estraraganee.


The whole letter is simply an elaborate
denial of any need of reform, modification
or change in either the policy or the admin
istrative methods OF the Government, and
an attempt 10 divert attention from the ne
cessities OF the present by an evasiye appeal
to the distant past, when the Republican
party had purpose and policy and can
didates who embodiedits higher aspirations.
Those who have waited for this letter to
define the issues Of the campaign need
wait no longer, though the issue that it
makes may disappoint them. 1t is an ap,
peal for continuation of high taxes, super

THE IRON AGE ON THE DEMOCRATIC
TARIFF PLANK.

The Iron Age speaks of the nominees Of
the National Democratic party as men OF
stainless reputation, Impractical experience
in administrative offices, and possessing
charming personal qualities, and thinks
the Convention made very wise choice,
The Age quotes the tariff plank from the
platform and says:
This declaration Of tariff sentiment is
very far removed from support Of free
trade theories. So long as fiscal legislation
is based on such principles the doctrines
advanced by Hurd, WattersOn, Morrison,
and other extremists have no prospect Of
being cIystallized into law. The Morrison
and Hewitt horizontal plan of reduction
is diSapproved by implication, since no
reference is made to the efforts in behalf Of
such tariff reform" which occupied the
time of the House of Representatives so
long last winter The advocates of free
raw materials have met with almsst as lit
tie encouragement from the Democrats as
they did from the Republicans, the subject
being only slightly alluded to in a part Of
the platform disconnected with the tar
if plank, liable to be over
looked. Essential differences be-
between the tariff utterauces of the two par
tises are therefore wanting. The Republi-
cans demand that duties shall be so levied
as to afford security to our diversified in
dustries. and protection to the rights and
wages of the labOrer,' while the Democrats
disclaim any attempt to impose lower rates
of duty than will be ample to cover any in
creased cost of production which may ex-
ist in consequence of the higher rate Of
wages prevailing in this country" From
such deliverances free traders can gather
but little comfort. 1t is true the Demo
cratic platform pledges the party ito revise
the tariff in a spirit of fairness to all inter
estS," but the Republican platform also
pledges that party Ito correct the iRequaIi
ties Of the tariff.

Mr.. Blaine's Array of Figures.
Pbilg1eIDhi1 Record.


Nr. Blaine marshals an imposing array
of manufacing, agricultural and CONNER
cial statistics, and boldly declares that they
are indisputable proofs Of the beneficial
effects of the protective policy. To this
method of argument the short answer is
that the country would have prospered in
lar greater degree but for burdens oftaxa-
ton imposed upon its industries by the
tariff. As an illustration of Mr.. Blaine
way demonstrating the beneficial effects
OF the tariff upon the agricultural interests,
he says that for every peck Of corn ex-
ported 100 bushels have been consumed in
the home market Did he suppose that
the farmers whom he addresses would not
think of the millions of bushels of corn that
have been put into cattle, beef, and pork
and sent to feed the people of Europe?

Disappointed Hopes.


The weakness with which the bad ticket
and even worse platform foisted on them
has smitten the Blaine journalism Of the
country has been noticed at home and
abroad. The hope existed, both among
supporters and opponents Of Mr. Blaine,
that his acceptance latter might do for his
cause what mono others put in trust Of 1t
appear to have been able to do, fortify it
with plausibility even though to raise it to
responsibility was out of the question. The
hope is gone. Republicans have more to
bewail, the Democrats have less TO combat
than they expected.

Can't Identify Frank James.

CHATTANOOGA, April 19.-At Huntsville,
Ala, in the James trial, Alfred Hill stated a
day or two before the robbery he entertained
a man at his house at Green Hill, but did not
identify Frank James.
Hugh Riley, who at the time Of the robbery
was saloon keeper at Muscle Shoals, testi-
fed that three men came to his saloon, but
did not identify James.
s. H. Field, detective for the defense,
testified that he knew James in Nashville,
Tenn, and he was known by the
name Of B. j. Woodson. He saw
James in Nashville on the 18th and 18th
March, 1881. Several times ON both those
days. He knew the man named J. A, How
ard in Nashville who turned out to be Jesse
James. but never saw Howard and Woodson
together.
Jonas Taylor, blacksmith, of Nashville,
testified that he saw Frank James at Nashville
on March 11th and put shoes on his horse
on March 18th, 1881. The witness identified
the date by an entry in his ledger.
