THE BACOARAT TRIAL

IN THE SCANDAL CASE.

lam ASKED TO Explain Damaging Let
tcr-Tho Ladies' Manifest Great Interest
"A Great Crowd in Attendance.
LONDON, June 3.-Throngs were in
and around the court room Yesterday at
the beginning Of the second days hear
ing in the famous baccarat scandal suit
of Sir William Gordon CUMMING The
crowd was even lager than on the pre-
vious day, interest having been height
encd by the expectation Of the summon
ing Of the Prince of Walcs to the wit
ness stand. II was noticed chat many
Indies brought their luncheon with them
in baskets. The Prince OF Wales, Sir
William and all the defendants in the
suit were present wlen court opened,
and the crOSs-ezanination OF Sir Will
lam was resumed. This was devoted
mainly to questions regarding a letter
which he wrote in reply to a letter from
the Prince of Wales. Sir William said
the letter expressed his entire innocence
of the charges, but in it he asked that
he be given the benefit of the doubt, if
any existed, in view Of the fact that it
was useless for him to deny the accusa-
tions in the face of Overwhelming evil
dence. Sir William declared he wrote
thus because he felt the prince and
others believed him guilty.
Tho Prince of waIos Testines.
AT the conclusion of the cross exami.
nation q stir was created in court by the
calling of the Prince of Wales to the wit
ness stand, and every neck was craned
to obtain good view of him. The
prince gave his testimony in clear and
straightforward way It was not in
favor of Sir William. The prince de-
clared that during the game he neither
saw nor suspected any cheating what
ever. 1t was not until Sept. 10 that
Lord Coventry had told him Sir William
had been guilty of cheating.
In concluding his testimony the prince
said that the witnesses TO the alleged
cheating by Sir William We're so unani-
nous that he could not help believing
the charges, though he personally saw
nothing Of it. Gen. Owens and some
Others were then examined, and court
then adjourned for the day. 1t is now
expected that the end viii be reached to-
morrow and that the decision will be
against Sir William in consequence of
apparent preponderance OF evidence
against him,

THE notorious Bellefontalne ram,
William Lawrence, President OF the
Wool Growers Association, is not sat
isied with the Mckinley high taliff
law. Sheep shearing is at hand, and
the prices offered FOR wool are net Wat
Mr.. Lawrence promised the Ohio wool
growers, when be was cxtolling the vir
tues of the Mckinley tariff law last
year. Everything that Mr.. Lawrence
said last year, both in his published ad-
dresses to the Ohio flock masters and
in his speeches on the stump, was TO
the effect that the increased duties on
wool in the Mckinley tariff law would
be certain to increase the price of Ohio
woods from . to 10 cents a pound But
now. instead of this promised Increase
in prices, Ohio woolS are quoted in the
eastern markets at from 2 to cents a
pound less This has made the mutton
headed Republican sheep owners of
Ohio both sour and sad.

THE Alliance Leader is edited by Wal
lace H.Phelps,a few years ago Democratic
candidate for congress in this district.
The Leader says: "a reporter at Massil-
ION the other day asked the Hon. John G..
Warwick II he was in favor of free silver
coinage. The answer was: Il do not care
to express myself at present on these
questions.' Sagacous statesman ~
lAassilon Independent.
This suggests something. None Of
our leading Republicans of Canton,
who are il close communion with Maj or
Mckinley, know how he stands on the
question of free silver coinage. We
understand Farmer Bryan has letter
from tae Major, written during the last
Congressional canvass, in which he de-
ciares for free silver coinage, but in the
SfJjor's speech, delivered in Boston,
before the Home Market club, he talk
ed the other way. For the information
of the Massilon Independent ana the
Alliance Leader it can be stated that
Gov. Warwick stands on the Demo-
cratic platform Of Ohio, in favor Of free
silver coinage, and he viii vote for it
in Congress.

AN oatmeal trust las just been or
ganized aud Col. Conger is in it. twill
be remembered that Major Mckinley,
in his bill of many denominations, raised
the duty on oatmeal one cent pound,
or S2O a ton. Now why was this done.
OF course there was a job nit, and thai
Job has now eliminated in atrust, with
a capital of S3,5OOOOO. The Mckinley
tariff will put s5OOOOO more per year
into the trust than heretofore. Ac-
cording to the Eestinformation at hand
the consumption Of oat meal in the
United States is 100000 pounds per
year. or course this trust will be able
to put up big money to elect the man

100000 per year from the substance of
oatmeal eaters, and transferred it to

SENATOR SHERMAN is very much
alarmed over the farmers movement
The Alliance seem determined TO OBJ
tain the balance of power in the next
legislature of Ohio, for the purpose of
securing United States Senator
whose name will not be John Sherman.
The Alliance leaders appear to be mov-
ing for the balance Of power in the
United States Senate. They have al
ready secured three United States Sen
atOrs, and the leaders seem to feel
confident that Sherman is their next
mutton. In all the Republican coun-
ties in Western, Central and South
western Ohio the Alliance will put q
legislative ticketin the field. The pres.
ent campaign promises to be unusually
interesting.

Joined 10 no idols, and II w.
A. Lynch will say that he
would accept the Democratic nomina-
ton for Governor, there would be no
doubt of his unanimous support in
stark county, including the East End,
the Center, and we trust the West End
also. The fact that so many able Dem
ocrats are so ambitious this year, shows
that there is strong hope for Demo
cratic success; while the fact that only
one Republican is seeking the nomina-
tion for Governor, indicates an all-per-
vadiug fear that the nomination will
be an empty honor.

A DISPATCH from Alliance to the
Plain Dealer Of to-day says, Alliance
will seld a delegation to the Sena-
torial convention, opposed to Senator
Howells, because of his active Opposi,
ton to Governor Campbell. The dis
patch states: Campbell, for Governor,
has the inside track here, and as a
leading Democrat said, 1T is either
Campbell or Major McKinley'-and
this is the general sentiment among
the faithful. Campbell is the strongest
candidate here that the party can NOM
mate, ana his name is harbinger of
victory"
The Democrats of Alliance are en-
titled to their choice for Governor, and
so is Senator Howells. If Senator
Howells prefers another candidate,th
is his right. We trust the Democrats
of Alliance will concede to Senator
Howells the same rights they ask for
themselves.

in this District in the Warwick Nc
Kinley campaign, has forclble article
in the June Forum showing how high

he tin plate controversy grows more

The tin plate controversy grows more
lively and interesting. During the de
bate on his bill in the House year ago,
Mckinley bcasted that as the double
tax could not go into effect before July
1, 1891, before that date American tin
plate would be selling more cheaply
than foreign, and that in the meantime
there would be no advance in the price
of foreign tin. The result proves Nc
Kinley a false prophet. There has
been an advance in foreign tin, and the
promised tin plate factories are only Oh

citizens of this place, as well as other
towns along the Ohio, are delighted that
the state has taken matters in hand, by
ordering an investigation Of the river
water used by towns along the Ohio.
DR.. Probst, of the state board of health,
is making an investigation personally,
and it is understood tNat up to this time
his report will be very unfavorable as
to the use Of Ohio river water for drink
ing purposes. DR.. Probst is to report as
to the best means of taking action to
prevent the further pollution of the
water, but it is thought this cannot be
done successfully without some inter-
state agreement.

MR.. HARrER AS A PHILOSOPHER
From the n. Y. Standard


Hon. Michael d. Harter, of Ohio, is
one of those who really believe that q
public Office is a public trust. He was
elected to Congress last fall and he evi-
IDENTIFY intends TO devote the whole of
his time and energy to the performance
of his public duties. He has determin-
ed to retire from active business, and
will resign to other hands the manage
ment of the great business Of the Ault-
man Il Taylor Company.
Mr.. Harter is not only Jefferscnian
Democrat, and therefore an absolute
free trader, but he is philosopher who
applies his philosophy. If more men
would follow his example we should
have in this country "leisure class"
possessed of brains and patriotism, and
ready aud able to apply proved and
matured powers to the solution of the
great problems pressing on our people.
OF course all Congressman cannot
afford TO retire from business, but it
would be vastly better for the country
if those of them who have competen-
cy would either retire from private
business or from public life. Neither
preaching nor example will bring about
such a change, however, so long as pri-
vate business interests are 50 closely
linked to legislation, as they ever must
be while governmental revenues are
derived in whole or in part from indi-
rect taxation. Let Mr. Harter use his
opportunities to bring about Free
Trade and direct taxation, and he will
open the way to Others to follow his
example.

of whom could beat Mckinley, what
