ODe-Says the Time for the Proof of His
Innocence Is Coming-A Victim, Not a
Fiend.
DENVER, Dec. Special. There was
another story related in Judge Rislng's
court this morning. 1t was the tale of an
innocent man accused of a crime so black
that when it was related all who heard it
were Mortified. This innocent man, this
second Jean Valjean. was DR.. Graves.
Judge Furman, who made the opening
argument for the defendant this morning
in this now celebrated trial, said Graves
was innocent. He was the victim of cir
cumstances, the victim of a plot, and all
about were the plotters. a woman had
died suddenly under suspicious circum-
stances it was charged that murder had
been committed, the law cried for victim,
none was TO be found, but one was manu-
featured and this one was DIR. Graves.
The unfortunate man gazed at his lawyer
with a grateful look in his eyes He ap-
peared to gain confidence with each word

THE STATES AND THE FAIR.
Representatives Meet in Conference With
the Directors and the Board.

the Directors and the Board.
CHICAGO, Dec. 9. - Thirty-one State
World Fair organizations were represented
in the convention called to meet to-day
with the Board of Control, the Department
Chiefs and the Directors of the Exposition.
President Baker, of the local directors,
made speech that seemingly complexities
the relations between the State boards and
the National Commission, and may lead to
lively times in the convention. Mr.. De
Young introduced a resolution, which was
adopted, providing for reports from each
State
Ex-Congressman Frank, of Missouri, of
tered a resolution providing for an organ
ization of all the State delegations present
into one body. Some of the members of
the Board of Control thought they saw in
this resolution movement to demand per-
mission to install State exhibits in State
buildings. This led to postponement of
the Missourian's resolution until tomorrow,
to which time the convention adjourned.

Syrup"

Here is something from Mr.. Frank
A. Hale, proprietor Of the De Witt
House, Lewiston, and the Tontine
Hotel, Brunswick, Me. Hotel men
meet the world as it comes and goes,
and are not slow in sizing people
and things up for what they are
worth. He says that he has lost a
father and several brothers and sis
tiers from Pulmonary Consumption,
and is himself frequently troubled
with colds, and he
Hereditary often coughs enough
to make him sick at
Consumptionhis stomach. When
ever he has taken a
cold of this kind he uses Boschee's
German Syrup, and it cures him
every time. Here is a man who
knows the full danger of lung trou-
bles, and would therefore be most
particular as to the medicine he used.
What is his opinions Listen
use nothing but Boschee's German
Syrup, and have advised, l presume
more than a hundred different per
sons to take it. They agree with
me that it is the best cough syrup
in the market" q

TRADE WITH ENGLAND.

Few realize the magnitude and value
of the trade relations of this country
with England. The old protection bug
aboo has been that only the tariff re-
strictlons stand between American in
dustries and an overwhelming flood of
British manufactures representing
cheap labor. There has been sedulous
effort to create the impression that En-
gland does not buy much from this
country except raw and crude material,
and some meats and breadstuffs when
they cannot be had elsewhere. But the
government statistics give quite another
story. While England is the best Gus
toner this country has in cattle, corn.
wheat, flour and other farm and crude
products, it leads all other buy
ers i'll its absorption of United
States farm implements, builders
hardware, saws and tools, books, maps,
engravings and other printed matter,
sewing machines, manufactures of WOOL
leather and refined sugar. Canada only
exceeds it in the purchase of our mis-
cellaheous cotton manufactures. In to-
bacco, too, Australia is the only larger
buyer. China and the West Indies only
take more Of our cotton goods. More
American cars and vehicles go to Eng
land than any other market except
those of Latin America. and even steam
engines are taken there more numer-
ously than to any other market. with
one exception. Sewing machines have
more buyers there than in all the other
parts of the Americas. Then in leather
three-fourths of the entire export goes
to England, and four-ffths of the
refined sugar. With hardly an excep-
ton in the manufactured articles specI-
fed, this country sells more to England
than the English dealers do to the
United States. The manufacturers and
pro ducers of this country are success
fully competing with the world in a
great number of articles in the neutral
markets. When not hampered by local
burdens. and with fair field, American
| genius and labor can make prosperous
way in the markets OF the world in most
of its leading productions. The agri-
culturist, most of all, needs favorable
trade relations with England.

WILL HAVE THE STORM.

The opinion is easily entertained that
the atmospheric conditions of late, in
their boom among refrigerants, presage
unwonted elementary excitement the
coming few days. when the sun gets in
perpendicular work on the equator.
Every body'knOws that 1t makes trouble,
and friction and turbulence are in the
air when the invisible line is traversed
by the great illuminant. That is one of
the traditions of the fathers, and
mothers, too. Unless one would be a
crank, aud out of line with popular
thought, there should be no question
that storm is dated for the vicinity of
Sept. 81. Old men and ancient ladies
have always observed the fact. There
is no more doubt about it than there is
that rain always follows the firecrackers
on the Fourth of July or the ''mackerel
sky" so thOughtfully studied by lovers
recentnights. OF course there are wise
acres who like to be odd and skeptical,
just as there are doubters that the po-
tato of the right size and age carried in
the pocket is a preventive OF rheuma-
tiSm, or the buckeye sOme other infelic-
ity. They even insist that records kept
in some of the oldest observatories do
not indicate the.preyalenre of specially
strong winds at the equinoctial events.
Also, they allege that stormy periods at
that time are remembered, while the
others do not count. But this is another
evidence of the iconoclastie spirit of the
age. There should be limit set to it..
Let it keep off from the strident path of
the sun as he crosses the equator.

CHINESE PROGRESS.

That is significant news in the recen
dispatches, that the Chinese are sending
their commissions abroad to determine
what are the most effective weapons de-
vised for use in the army, and learn of
all the late improvements and devices
10 increase the destructiveness of the
war ornaments. 1t is alleged that the
victory of the dominant party in Chill
was largely due 10 the use OF the Aus
trian Mannlicher rifle. The Chinese pro-
pose to adopt it unless they find the
English rifle superior. There are other
indications that the inertias of caste
and aristocracies in the ancient king
dom are being disturbed, and that
the pigtails may yet hustle to-
ward the line of modern civ
ilizatioD. Some of the advanced in
dustries of progressive people are being
introduced with modern machinery. and
varieties of wearing apparel that they
have imported are now made at home.
Even the empress has established in the
palace grounds a silk industry under
her personal supervision, comprising
not only silk culture, but the weaving
of the fabric from the raw material.
Females are to be trained to the indus
try under the royal eve. The seclusion
of the high rank women is not to be in
vaded soon, perhaps: but it is, in the
Oriental view, startling departure, al
most a revolution, when the venerable
Quietude of the palace is ruffled with
the hum of barbarian industry. 1t is
not a royal fad. but one of the steps in
a change that will have vast CONNER
cial Importance to this ana other lands.

SOMEWHAT BUNOO.

The trade journal Of the canning in
dustry reports some fatigue in its nearly
fruitleSS efforts to ferret out the tin
plate induStryin this country. 1t has
seen tin badges prepared for exhibition
In the Ohio compaign and noted attract
i've legends on certain tin cans, but has
not found anything to warrant tax of
a dozen millions or more on the con-
sumption of tinware. In its disgust it
turns to the debate in the senate over
this tin industry. and reads the pledges
OF Senator ALLISON. He asserted that
many plants were ready to at once enter
upon the manufacture, and the friends
OF the measure had assurances
that before the law went into
into effect, which was last July,
there would be sin this country suffi-
Client plant to manufacture all the tin
plate that we use." He had perfect con-
fidence in this view. His good faith
need not be brought into question. Still,
while he is making speeches in Iowa, he
should not fail to see that he owes it to
himself to expose the confidence game
played on him. His Indignation should
rise to the point of denunciation and
purpose to vote for the repeal of the
oppressive and useless tax.
