for war, Italy is certainly in no suitable
financial condition to cope in any way with

The Democratic Party Not in Danger.
1t is not often that Senator Edmunds. Of
Vermont, consents to be interviewed by a
ne wspaper correspondent, but when he does
talk for publication he says something that
attracts attention. In an Interview with
him published in our dispatches yesterday,
he talks about the alliance aud the effect it
will have upon the Democratic and Re-
publican parties. He doesn't agree with
Editor Charles A Dana relative
TO the character Of the alliance
movement Mir. Dana, it will be remem-
bered, in an interview at Atlanta, said that
it was communistic. Senator Edmunds
saws that he does not think that communism
is at the bottom of the movement. In his
opinion the laboring people Of this country
are too honest to think that communism
would be of any benefit to them or their
families, and he is right The farmers and
workingmen know very we'll that the result
of communism would be that those who are
industrious and thrifty would have to sup
port those who are indolent and vicious.
Evidently Senator Edmunds believes that
the alliance will have presidential candi-
alliance principles. While he es not say
that If they we're adopted the farmers would
soon be worse of than they are now, he
says enough to leave the impression that
such is his opinion.
But If there should be an alliance ticket
for President the success Of the democratic
ticket would not be endangered. If the
democrats failed tn win in the election no
one, in Senator Edmund's opinion, would
be elected President by the people. The
election would be thrown into the
House, where the democrats have a
majority, not only of the members,
but also of the states. The
House, therefore. would elect the demo-
cratic candidate President. According to
this view Of the case the Dem ocratic party
has nothing to fear from the alliance.
With reference to the silver question,
Senator Edmunds says that he does not
think it will be an issue between the demo-
Gratis and republicans. If it should be an
issue, it would be made so by the alliance
acting as third party.
Senator Eimuads does not say whether
or not he thinks the alliance will nominate
a presidential ticket. The chances are that it
will not. The alliance is strong only in the
west and south. 1t has comparatively few
adherents in the east. Whatever strength
a third party movement has is in the west.
TIE south is not deeply interested in it and
is notlikelv to be. The Democratic party
is good enough for the southern people yet

Irrelevantly introducing pair Of twin in
fants at Columbus wedding was the most
ungraceful and mean act yet heard of in
Ohio. But the nurse wanted to collect from
the bride an overdue bill for their keep and
hustled around SO as to catch the newly
welded couple before they started on their
bridal tour. Hence the haste. No harm
was intended. Still it had tendency to
create confusion. Possibly it never once
occurred to that fustered wet nurse that if
she had left those babies at home she might
have chased the bride with much greater
facility, and without danger of breaking up
the nuptIal festivities. Very lucky for the
bride that the ceremony was complete be-
fore her descendants appeared.

a Scheme to Steal a Big Fortune

a Scheme to Steal Big Fortune.
The story of the conspiracy to rob the
heirs of Loring B. Robertson, VINO was a
New York leather merchant and who
died last October leaving fortune of
over $2,000,000, is a most remarkable one.
Soon after the leather merchants death
three men, one of whom was a lawyer, en-
tered into conspiracy to get a share Of the
estate. He was bachelor, 80 it was pro-
osed that a woman should assert that she
was his widow. A woman to play the part
Of widow was found, and very attract
i've woman she was. She was well
drilled by the lawyer in the
part she was to play, and
then she appeared before the proba g
court and maze claim for a widows share
Of the estate There was no will, and it
was thought that the heirs would agree to
com romise rather than be worried by a
long lawsuit with the chance Of finally
being beaten.
The heirs, however. did not believe the
woman's story, and they decided to resist
her claim. When the case up for hear
ing she was not present, and her attorneys
obtained continuance on the ground that
she was unavoida ly absent in another state.
A second time the case was called. but
she failed to appear. The detectives
all this time were trying to get at the
bottom OF the conspiracy. They did not
make much Roadway, however. Finally
the woman herself, on the advice of friend
decided that the best thing for her
to do was to make a confession. Acting
upon this decision she gave all the facts of
the conspiracy to the lawyers for the heirs.
On Sund y five Of the consplrators were
arrested Among them was the lawyer,
who was the chief of them, although he was
not the author of the plan to get part of
the leather merchants estate.
The proof against the conspirators is con-
elusive. 1t is hardly possible for them to
escape the penitentiary. But if the woman
had shown more courage the scheme might
have succeeded. It would not have been a
difficult matter to get testimony that the
woman was known as the leather merchants
wife, Money can procure almost any kind
OF testimo y nowadays.
The leather merchant spent the greater
part of his life In accommodating a great for
tune. Perhaps be enjoyed accommodating it,
and it may be that the knowledge that he
was rich man was a source Of happiness,
but how much good he might have done
with his money had he distributed it wisely
during his life, Those who will finally get
it will not respect his memory more be-
cause Of it, and it may be the cause of
trouble among them. Great fortunes,
eagerly as they are sought, do not, as
rule bring their possessors happiness They
are more often the source Of trouble than of
pleasure.
