q
traces of arsenic were found in his
system: Sscond-she had been gull
ty of an infidelity to her husband,
which she had confessed and which
he had, forgiven. For these offences
she is to hang in the land of law and
superior virtue. There is no evidence
that she poisoned her husband; only
evidence that poison was there, and
she being a woman who had sinned
naturally administered it. This was
the reasoning of the astute judge,
this the conclusion of the stupid jury.
THE export statistics of this coun-
try for the nine months ending
July 3lst show q very marked in
crease of exports in beef, pork and
dairy products over corresponding
nine months ending with July 3lst,
1888. This certainly does not show
any diminution of resources on the
part of the United States. Our gold
and silver and beef and pork and
dairy products are in excess of those
of previous years and when the
wheat, oats, corn and cotton crops
are rounded up and the results for
into comparative statistics it
will be seen that this country is on
the highway of prosperity. The
tens of thousands of America traY-
cling in Europe this year and the
amounts of gold drawn over
the ocean to meet payments on Amer
lean stocks and bonds has Temporal
rily drained our gold supply and
alarmed the pessimists, but there is
no cause for uneasness. The coun-
try is in a highly prosperous condi-
ton.
Iowa has nominated her next gov
ernor. 1t was done by the republican
party in the Des Moines convention
and the honor fell upon Joseph g.
of Ottumwa. The plat
form adopted is clear and comprehen-
sive. 1t endorses, of course, the pres
ert administration, all good republic
cans do that; favors a liberal con-
'truction of the pension laws favOrs
but not trusts and mOnop- |
)lies, which it is the duty of both
state and nation to suppress; endorses
'ailway regulation, state and ma
ional; welcomes the new states into |
he union and pronounces in favor Of
in the settlement of wage
differences. Iowa will elect the NOM
nee of the convention.
THE Express of this morning gets |
lOwn to solid business on the action |
Of the San Antonio and International |
fair, and places the blame for the
failure to hold a Fair this fall just
where the LIGHT placed it yesterday,
San Antonio. In departing from its
usual course and coming out in this |
plain and unmiStakable manner the !
Express does itself credit.

THE attempt to bOlsteHup case for
Marshal Nagle by the assertion that
Judge Terry had knife and that his
wife took it out of his hand when she
threw herself upon his murdered
body, is too Transparent. There is not |
1 scrap of evidence to show that this
was the case, or that Terry had a
knife in his possession. So far as any
"details of the matter have been mabe
public Marshal Maggie stands convicted
Of cOwardly murder in which his
victim, who had not assaulted him,
was not given ghost of chance for
MS lite. Other testimony may be
forthcoming to show that Terry was
armed and intended to make a deadly
assault upon Judge Field, but as at
present presented the facts indicate
hat Terry intended to put a public
ittrOnt upon Judge Field for refusing
lim any clemency, after sentencing
him to six months Imprisonment for
of court in defending his
wife, when, under very great nervous
excitement she outraged the prOprie-
les OF the court room in which Judge
Field presided.
THE contest still goes on for the
OcatiOn of the worlds fair. st. Louis
md New York are the bidders out
tide of Washington. While the south
md south west would favor St. Louis
rs against New York, the proper place
o hold that quadri-centennial is at
he national capital. 1t will very
be held there.
