Robert Martindale, charged with violating the
law of placing insurance policies In companies
that have not complied with the State law, was
tried yesterday in the Criminal Court under four
indictments. He is charged in all of them with
placing insurance for an Alabama company that
had not filed the necessary statements with the
Auditor of State, or complied with other require
ments of the law. Auditor Rice testified that
this had not been done. The defense was
Quoted by Shepard & Martindale The leading
point of the defense was that the Alabama In
surance Organization was not a corporation, and
was not therefore, within the scope of the law.
The prosecution rejoined that the aforesaid or
ganization had president and secretary. The
defense rstorted that partnership might have
such officers The State held that the defense
must prove that there was not a company, the
assumption being that it was. The court took
the matter under advisement.

Such trials as the country has Witnessed during
the past two months, and especially during the
past week, test the stuff of rulers as well the

ordeal thus far with flying colors.

He did not hesitate to order out troops and open
fire. He promptly met the reckless force of riot

way he ouelled The outbreak at once and eaved
many lives that might have been sacrificed If he
had temporized and dallied with the mob.
When Polish alderman demonstrated with
him for shooting down his riotous countrymen,
he answered: go back and tell your people that

declaration was worth Thousand bayonets
The second man who stands out In the figure
of q true color is Mayor Smith, of Cincinnati.
He has had no riot to meet yet. and with the
spirit he displays riot is likely to challenge his
authority So far he has only had to face con-
dition of widespread strikes, with serious par
aysis of business and he faces the situation with
intelligence and frmness. He does not under

Lolita, the actress, has received a small for
tune in presents from many unknown admirers.
Many of the presents were sent to her without
her having any knowledge of the giver Two
seasons ago, while playing an engagement in
this city. bouquet was thrown on the stage al
one of the performances, and tied to the cord
a diamond ring. AS Lolita had frequently
received diamond rings in this manner she
thought nothing in particular of the way in
which the gift reached her. Yesterday Clark j.
Wood, of the committee of the estate
of Isabella Jennings, an alleged lunatic.
forty-six years old. brought suit in
Common Pleas Court, No. 8, against
Charlotte NJ. Crabtree, otherwise known as
Lolita, for the recovery of diamond ring, the
committee claiming that Miss Jennings was a
lunatic and that she had given Lolita ring
while of unsound mind. Later in the day the
suit was Withdrawn.
Mrs. Jennings owns SIS 900 worth of land at At
lantic City, claims against III. j. e. g. r. Crump.
proprietors of the Colorado Hotel and some jew
elry in the possession of Mrs. Crump Lolita
says that she knows nothing about Miss Jen-
nings, and does not know whether she received
diamond ring from the alleged lunatic. and
James H. Heverin, Lotta's counsel. says that
any one who loses a ring or desires to obtain
one can make similar claim, and that Lotte
has no desire or intention of unjustly withhold
ing the property of any one.

Boston Advertiser.
Mr.. Powderly own estimate of the numerical
strength Of the Knights of Labor is SOC, 900; that
is one-half million, out of seventeen and one
half millions of American citizens engaged in
gainful occupations. or one-thirty fifth of the
entire number. Suppose, even, that the Knights
of Labor should eventually extend so az to take
in the entire number of men, women and chill
dren engaged in manufacturing mechanical and
mining pursuits and in the service OF transport
alton; still the order would embrace only three
and 0ne-half millions-just one-ffth of the num-
Der engaged in gainful occupations in this coun-
try, and less than one-half of the number Of.
agricultural laborers alone.
1t is not many years since the strongest labor
union ever founded in this country was at the
height OF its power. 1t enrolled LOCO, 600 MEM

legislatures. 1t owned stores, packet lines, ele

existing methods of transportation and trade. 1t
was combination Of farmers, 1000, 600 strong,
labor and property and their determination to
effect redistribution of profits in their own

menace to industrial progress except In their
concentration In large numbers in our cities and
in the intimidation and violence which the more
undisciplined and impatient among them prac-
tice upon other laborers.
1t might be well for the public to bear these
facts in mind when United States Senators pre-
side over Knights of Labor meetings in Wash
ington, and prominent public men take occasion
to eulogize Mr. Powderly's high qualities as
statesman, as Ex-Governor Curtin, of Pensylva-
mia, recently did in the House Of Represents

Action That Will Deprive Old Soldiers of PEN
sions They Deserve.

The President has resolved to veto such PEN
sion bills passed by Congress as do not present
ample evidence of the facts alleged in the bills,
and he has been supplied with the documents
upon which the claims are based.
Congress undertakes only such cases as have
been rejected by the Pension Bureau on the
ground of insufficient evidence. Certain rules
Of evidence are established in that bureau, and
although the Commissioner may be convinced of
the justice of claim. if 1t lacks certain docu-
ments he must throw it out In hundreds
absolutely unattainable The affidavit of q
person directly acquainted with all the facts
cannot be obtained because of the death of all
Witnesses 1t is now q quarter of century
since the war closed, and necessary witnesses
are dead or scattered. Yet from other evidence
which is not up to the requirements of the bu-
reau, congressional committee may be fully
convinced that the claimant deserves the PEN
sion, and so his bill is passed. Senator Sawyer
has practical charge Of this matter in the Sen
ate. He 10 level-headed man and
thoroughly conscientious, with nothing to
gain by reporting In favor of claimants who
ara scattered all over the land. When
he is supported by the other members of the
committee in the opinion that a claim is just,
after an examination into all the circumstances,
there is reason to believe the bill should pass.
The committee calls upon the Pension Bureau
for information. and gives the Commissioner full
opportunity to present any facts against the rea-
sonablenessof claim.
The President is lawyer and looks for legal
evidence; but in these cases evidence that would
satisfy the legal mind is not to be obtained
Otherwise, they would be determined in the PEN
sion Bureau. That his vetoes will deprive SOL
diers of the pensions they fully deserve, there
is every reason to believe.

In times of excitement no crowds should be
