Suppose the ~penitentiary is located al
this place; how long will it be before
they will be forced to employ convict
instead of square labor9 They may
not'desire to do it; indeed we suppose
that they do not !; but knowing that they
have an established trade all over
western Missouri, if they did not. some
one else would make furniture inside
of the prison. How could the Messrs.
Winkler then successfully compete
against sixty cent labors The idea
advanced that the furniture factory
could not employ oonvicts because the
law prevents them from working out
side of the walls is puerile. The state
furnishes buildings and motive power
to the manufacturers, inside of the
walls. How long would it take Il
remove to those buildings the neces'
sary machinery?

dent voters of our state are now con-
trolled by self-appointed. leaders.
WHAT THE VICTORY MEANS
1t means that these independent
, voters have abandoned the party of
hypocrisy and shame and have effected
a permanent alliance with the demo-
cratic party in the interest of reform
and good governments; it means the
people propose to sustain the hands Of
a democratic president, but not by put
ting his opponents in power; it mean
that the people are weary OF sectional
strife, and have no sympathy with a
party that seeks to Obtain power by try
ing to keep alive the dying embers of
| tue civil war: it means that capital and
labor shall receive equal protection un-
der the law, and that the efforts OF the
working,uen of the state to better their
condition shall be aided by the neces-
sary legislation. In closing, l desire
once again to thank the people of Ell
mira, without distinction of party, who
so frequently honored me in the past,
for this renewed evidence of their con-
fdence and esteem"
WASHINGTON, d. C.,Nov. 4.-Judge
Mcclure. of Brooklyn, solicitor of the
treasury, who returned to Washington
much elated over the victory in New
York, reflected the feelings of the ad-
ministration men when he remarked
to-day: "We owe it to President
Cleveland. 1t was because the people
had confidence in him that they voted
for Hill. They knew the president
would not have supported Hill if he
had not wanted him elected. They
knew he was in earnest about that; he
demonstrated it by going several hum
dred miles to vote for Hill. This victO
nv is all Endorsement of the administra
lion."

. THE JEFF WILSON CASE.

We are not DESTROYS of seeing any
mai executed; we are not, we hope
cruel; we feel sorrow even for a GRIM
NAL in his distress, and would not see
it aggravated. Neither are we OF those
who would have courts, or newspapers
for that matter, swayed by popular
clamor. We believe that both should
have before them only the standards of
duty, right and truth. But, while all
this is true, there is a dignity. and force,
and general correctness, in public opin-
ion, when calmly and deliberately
formed, which is worthy of respect
and consideration. We should, there
fore, feel ourselves derelict in duty II
we failed to state that which is a
fact, that there is a very strong feeling
in this county that there has been delay
enough in the Jeff. Wilson case.
The people regard the crime as hav-
ing been an atrocious one, nc. they
generally think that the secor.d trial
was granted by the supreme court on
trivial grounds. They believe that to
the delay in the execution of the law
IN this case much Of the lawlessness of
the past year may be attributed, and
they are FESTIVE under an accumulation
of what they deem unnecessary costs.
But above all they r chafing because
Justice seems to them to travel with
leaden heels, while crime is rampant
and aggressive.
The feeling has led to some indiscreel
talk. This should be stopped. Though
there has been some delay nothing has
occurred to justify a resort TO ilega
methods. A touch may start an IVA
lanche which an army cannot stay in iti
devastating course. Let all be done de,
Gently and in order. Another thing
| The condemnation of the attorneys fol
the defense is altogether wrong. 1t is
their bounden duty to take every lega'
means to defend their client, and to
seek an amelloration of his punishment
1t cannot be charged that the case wal
allowed to drag at the recent term o
court, as it was put through very ex'
peditiously for q murder trial.
The popular impression that the cost
in the case have run up to $4,000 o
$4,000 is extremely erroneous. The
total costs, including the board in pris'
on, jury and witness fees, in both trials
and all other fees and costs, amour
exactly to $3.50. Where a human lif'
is at stake, and justice is to be vindica
ted by conceding the rights of the &C
cused as we'll as demanding those o
society, this expense should not be con
| sidered as OnerOuS,

JUDGE RYLAND AFTER A BRIBER

SEDALIA, Mo-, Nov. 5.-Judge Ry-
land to-day issued a bench warrant for
John B. Hickman, mayor of Sedalia, Oh
a charge of receiving a blibe. Two
years ago Isaac Graham gave $50 to
Hickman in consideration of bis ap-
pointing him fire engineer. Hickman
made the appointment, but the city
council refused to ratify Land Graham
demanded his money, but Hickman re-
fused to return it. About four months
later Graham told his wife of the trans
action and shs went to Hickman and to
pacify her he gave her $40 and a due
bill on his meat shop for SIS worth of
meat. At the election last spring Rick
man was again a candidate for mayor,
and Graham made the charge OF
bribery against him. Hickman in re-
taliation had Graham indicted, and
to-day the case was tried and on Rick
mans testimony Graham was convicted
and sentenced to two years in the peni-
tertiary. The judge then read the
prosecuting attorney a lecture on his
failing to have Hickman indicted, also.
and issued a bench warrant for the
mayor. The Ease will come up to-
morrow morning.
