REV HARDY DISCHARGED
Jndg WITT Gives an Opinion

The case of Rev. r. u. Hardy.
charged with riotous conduct on a
street-car, was called in the Hust-
ings Court, Friday 9Th inst, Judge
s. b. Witt presiding.
The facts in the case were these:
A colored woman and a white man
attempted TO secure a vacant seat
in a street-car on Sunday alter
noon.
The white man secured it and in
his efforts forced the colored woman
into the lap of white woman. DE
then threw the colored woman across
the car. The Colored woman was
highly indignant and abused him.
The conductor came in, when Rev.
Hrrdy told him that he should
speak TO the white man, Tor he was
the one who caused the trouble.
The conductor asserts that Rev.
Hardy said that Mad the Col bred wo-
man been white, he would not have
sDoken to her in that manner. An
other white witness said that some
colored man cursed, but Kew Har-
DIV was not the man.
This was near Third and Clay Sts.
Whens the car reached 18th and
Franklin, it being crowded, the pas
sengers were requested to move up
The car could not go away until this
was DONE
Rev. Hardy said, "Nove up and
let this car go away from here.
No one disputed this assertion.
The conductor then told an officer
TO arrest Rev. Hardy. Hewas takeI
10 the station-house and bailed-
The officer stated that when he ar
rested Rev. Hardy he was doing
nothing, and he had seen nothing
disorderly on his part.
Judge Witt, after hearing the prin
cipal witness for the prosecution
said that there was nothing to es
stablish the charge of riotous con
duct. and asked the assent OF tn
Jury to the making out a verdic
discharging the prisoner. This va
agreed to, and case caused by tn
excitability of a conductor-a yout
in years, was dismissed forever.
This is the case which, when hear
at the Police Court, caused Mr. Pag
to appear without solicitation q
prosecutor and delivered one of I'll
most prejudiced TRADES we have eve
heard in any locality In one OF h
etatements, he referred to one OF tt

The Logic Of cur Defeat.

The Democratic party is no strang-

on many battle fields and often cast
down, has meyer been discouraged.
The result of Wednesdays election is
made part Of its history in Idaho.
If the people are satisfied with it the
party responds with hearty amen.
1t made an honorable as well as a
gallant fight; it fought its battles ac-
cording to the best approved plans of
political warfare, and 1t has no blush
of shame for the deeds of its leaders
nor for its private individual men,
bers. In going to battle it presented
to the people ticket made up Of the
very best men of the party, men best
appreciated where best known, men
whose private and public records
were without spot and blemish, against
whom not word was spoken in the
hottest day of the campaign and men
Of undoubted integrity, honesty and
fitness for Office. These men made
the fight upon their personal qualifi-
cations and eminent fitness for the
offices for which they were respective
ly named and upon the party princi-
pies and policies which they repre-
sented They bought no votes for
they had no money wherewith to buy.
The National committee furnished
them none and no assistance came to
them from the outside. Our friends
on the opposite side cannot say as
much for the personnel of every mem
Der on their ticket nor for their man.

ment Of the people as expressed at
the ballot box was with them and let
the voice Of majority Of the voters
be the law in the matter. The fight
is over and we are done until we shall
be called to the field again two years
hence when our wounded, our strag-
glers and our recruits will all be in
ranks and we will then renew the bat.

That Stolen Million.

The charge that six United States
Senators and / ) members of the House
of Representatives received 81 ,000,-
900 from '.pools" formed to pass the
silver bill is one which cannot be ig.
nored. Confession has been made by
the GlObe-Democrat, which, as Re-
publican organ, had abundant oppor-
tunites for information Of the meth
DDS used in forcing the Administra-
ton Bullion Spectators swindle
through Congress. 1t gives the exact
details of how the steal WAS managed.
The following from its columns is
urged on the attention Of unbribed
members of the Senate and House
No Senator or Representative was
offered as much as dollar to vote for
a silver bill. Some OF them were
shown how they could make a little
money by specializing on the rise of
silver, which was sure to follow the
passage o: favorable bill. They were
approached through friends who we're
in the pools. These friends offered to
let them into good thing. Several
Senators and Representatives put in
their money and took few thousand
ounces apiece. There were others who
hadn't the money to speculate with.
1t was arranged that the impecunious
should have certain amounts carried
for them by the pools If silver went
up, they were to have the profits If
it didn't go up, they we're to get moth
ing. About $3.50, 900 was put up to
get the silver which was bought and
carried for those Senator's and Repre-
sentatives who didn't invest their
own money. OF course tnis $3.50, 900
was not spent or lost. Those who
raised it got it all back. less interest
and commissions. The Senators and
Representatives for whom the silver
was bought got the profits.
OF course, it is mere trivial tech
nicality to say that this is not bribery.
The Senator or Congressman who,
while bill is pending, is ''carried in
pool Specializing in the commodity
the price Of which is to be advanced
by the bill, is an unmitigated scoun-
drel. Between his morals and the
merals of the burglar or sneak-thief
the difference is in favor of burglar
and sneak-thief.
According to the Globe Democrat s
confession, precautions were taken to
guard against legal penalties for brib-
cry, and sundry technicalities we're
provided for the use OF those taking
the brides, but in spite Of all this.
The Republic believes that any I'M
prejudiced jury would sentence to the
penitentiary any Senator or Represen.
