Democrats to examine the books that the
following from Washington special viii

tcrney General has written letter to A.
T. Bssel, the prosecuting witness in the
MOrrOw-ThOma conspiracy case, assuring
him that the government has taken the
proper steps to convict and punish the
oifense of eonnivance TO keep persons on
the department pay-rolls drawing pay
without rendering service. AS this Is the
first case OF the kind ever brought into
court out of the hundreds of such cases
It Is regarded with considerable interest.
Morrow is the editor of a Sunday paper
and ThOma was an employe in his Office.
If Morrow is convicted suit will prOba-
bly, be brought against Frank Hatton,
against whom the same offense can be
made to stick. When Hatton and Chand-
Ter owned the controlling interest in a
daily paper here every one of the editorial
staff and half the roportoral force were
borne on the pay rolls in various govern
ment offices and drew government sala-
ries while rendering no service. Hatton
was Postmaster General, aud Chandler
was Secretary of the Navy; both were
used to straw contracts. Nothing was
said about their way Of conducting priv
ate business on government salaries, be-
cause it has been comparatively common
here, aud was regarded as shrewd man
agement." The trouble for the Republi-
cans is that the Democrats propose to get
at the bottom facts, even if thew have to

balanced frequently cover immense
masses OF fraud.

The MaxweII-PreIler Case.

1t is expected that the trial of Maxwell,
who is charged with having murdered
Arthur Preler in the Southern Hotel, st.
Louis, nearly year ago, will begin in
that city very soon. The public is
thoroughly familiar with all the circum-
stances connected with the murder. They
have been published often. Remarkable
and sensational as the murder was, the
trial promises to attract fully as much
attention.
Considerable surprise has been ex-
pressed from time 10 time that none of
Preller's family seemed to be sufficiently
interested in his sad fate to visit this
country and assist in securing the con-
viction OF the murderer. Preller himself
was a man of considerable refinement,
and for that reason it was supposed that
his family was in good circumstances, and
perhaps rich. 1t turns out, however,
that his father is so poor that he is not
able to provide for his daughters at home.
Poverty is the cause of the failure of any
ore of the Prellerfamily to visit st. Louis.
1t is expected, however, that two mem
bers OF the family will be present at the
trial with the hope OF giving some assist
ance in securing the conviction of Max
well.
1t seems that some extraordinary work
has been done in the way of hunting up
testimony against Maxwell. Witnesses
are TO be brought from San Francisco,
New York, London and Hong Kong. A
girl will be produced from Hong Kong to
whom Maxwell partially confessed his
crime. Indeed, witnesses have been Sc
cured to show how Maxwell and Preller
became, acquainted and their relations
with each other until the murder of Prel-
lery Almost every moment OF MaXwelPs
lime will be accounted for from the time
ne committed his crime until he was ar
rested in Auckland.
There is one point in the case which the
prosecution has not yet succeeded in
making clear. 1t is believed that Max
well got about ST. 900 from Preller. 1t has
been found impossible thus far to &C
count for about $500 of this sum. 1t is
thought that the Hong Kong witness,
whom Maxwell met in San Francisco,
may be able to tell something of the miss
ing money. Tne Prosecuting Attorney
of St. Louis has certainly shown untir-
ing energy and considerable ability in
preparing for tine Maxwell trial.

From the Cincinnati Sun.
Several years ago a resident OF one of the
suburbs had the misfortune 10 become totally
blind, n cataract forming over his eyes. While
IN TINS condition his wife died. young Ger
man girl whom the unfortunate man had
never seen was very attentive to the wife in
her last illness. and after her death did what
she could 10 make the grief-stricken husband
and his two little children as comfortable as
possible. Such devotion did not go unreward-
ed. The bind man proposed and was accepted.
He married the faithful girl. Two chfiren
were the result Of this union. During his
years of blindness the slghtless man never lost
hopes that some day he might again look upon
the beauties Of nature aud the loved ones
around him. a physician was finally con-
suited, who agreed TO attempt the removal Of
the cataract. The operation was successful
and he from whom the light had been shut ont
so many wears SAW again. He WAS almost be-

Senatorial.

hHNIL
1t has rarely, if ever happened,
even in a Presidential year, that so
great and such universal interest has
been manifested in politics in West
Virginia, as we see this fall, and it
is generally remarked that a much.
higher degreeso of interests manifest
ed in the election of the legislators
and state senator's than in the Con-
gressional contests. Why is this!
1t can't be that a seat in the West
Virginia Legislature or Senate, is so
attractive, the honor is not q great
one, the emolumenti is purely nominal
there is no contemplatedalaw SO great
ly attracting the attention and so tho
roughly enlisting the. energies of
every voter in the state. There is
then, but one explanation, and it is
the simple. fact thatthe next Legisla-
ture will elect a United States Sena-
tor, and the people are determined to
have q voice in the selection. The
people have come to realize that they
cannot hope for prosperity until they
have thrown off the yoke of king mo-
nopoly. and dethroned the tyrant
who's depreciating the value of West
Virginia products in order that his
Golfers may overflow; they have
come to realize that they must look
to their Senator for relief and for sal
walton; they have come to realize
that Senator Camden has personal in
terests to serve such as conflict with
the peoples welfare and which will
prevent him from even desiring the
public good; they have come to re-
aIize that they must send to the
United States Senate q man of ability,
of nerve, of positive qualities, one
who is acquainted with the causes of
West Virginia's want of prosperity,
one who is possessed of sufficient in
telligence to point out the wrong and
suggest the remedy. one who is faithful
to the trusts bestowed upon him, one
who is able and willing to strike at
monopoly and oppression with one
hand while in the other, he holds aloft
the peoples banner; and with his
whole strength carries the peoples
cause on to a glorious victory. This
is the man the people want, and this
is the man they find in old Jefferson's
true, able and faithful son, Hon.
Daniel B. Lucas. He is right, and
has at heart the peoples interests
He has no personal ends to
His past record as a private citizen
and as a public man has proven him
a true and aggressive defender of the
peoples cause, always striving to do
his duty without fear, favor or hope
of reward. From information which
we regard as thoroughly reliable, the
next Legislature will not return MIR.
Camden to the Senate, and it is a
subject of congratulation to learn
that the people all over. the State are
looking to the election of Mr.. Lucas
to the high and important place. We
trust and believe that our hopes may
he realized
