SAN ANTONIO, Tex. June 24.-The
trial of Albert Franklin for the muir
der on the morning OF May of June
Robinson concluded in a verdict OF
murder in the first degree and the
death penalty. Robinson came home
about o'clock in the morning and
found Franklin in his bed and saw his
wife jump out of the window by the
bed. Franklin jumped out of the bed,
took knife from beneath the pillow
and attacked Robinson, whom he
slashed twenty-three times completely
disemboweling him and severing the
carotid artery. Robinson fought until
he fell, when Franklin placed his life
less body on the International railroad
track. where it would have been
ground into pulp had it not been re-
moved by policeman just an instant
before heavily loaded freight train
ran over the spot where it lay. In
the struggle that Robinson made he
cut Franklin in the stomach with the
latter's own knife, inficting serious
and painful wound, which prevented
his escape.

A HUGE SCHEME.

The Sherman bill putting the govern
ment in for a guaranty of 6 per cent in
terest on 800. 900, 600 of the Nicaragua
Canal company's bonds comes like a sur
price. When the company received
congressional Incorporation. two years
ago, it was expressly provided that the
government should not incur any money
liability by the act, and the friends of
the enterprise were voluble in their con-
fident assertions that il did not need any
help-the enterprise was so promising
and capitalists regarded it with such IA
vor that 1t was able to secure all the
money it required; vet, here il is before
congress, asking that its bonds to the
amount of 500, O0O. 600 be gwen a 6-per-
cent guaranty. Such guaranty would
make the bonds worth at least 120-or
$3.50, 000, 900 for the whole lot-enough
to pay for the work from beginning to
end.
We quite agree with the ST. Joseph
Ballot, that "the proposition looks like a
scheme TO construct great ship canal
on credit, and on the credit of the L nited
States government ut that. There may
be reasons Of public policy for the gov
eminent extending its favor, and even of
assistance to the Nicaragua canal, but
this should be made clear before the
Sherman bill is passed. 1t is time that
western senators and represen atives
were beginning to make resolute stand
against the never-ending schemes for
subsidies, gratuities- grants and guaran-
ties for the benefit of the Unsuitable
northeast"

THE 2 PER CENT PLAN.

It is figured out that the proposition so
much in favor with some of the Alliance,
particularly in the southwest, to loan
government money on farm products
and real estate at ? per cent, would be
made to do service for the millionaires
in a way that will throw into the shade
all expectations of farmers. The zeal
shown for the measure by Senator Stan
ford, of California, whose possessions,
largely real estate, are estimated at $780,
600, 900, is given solution in this way. A
writer in an eastern paper has some COM
putations as to how much the Astors,
Vanderbilts and their plethoric class
could add to their income by this agency.
They have large amounts of the requi-
site security for obtaining the govern
ment issues. On $100,000,000 of ther
reass estate they could borrow S50,000,-
600, and with this buy more real estate.
On this added SOC. 900 of realty they
could get $25,000,0O0 more of the
2 per cent money. This will en-
able them TO swell their securities S25,
600, 900 more. This process goes on until
they have added 800, 9S7, 792 to their $780,
1000 of real estate. They would pay
the government a trife less han 81, 000,-
600, while it is assumed that at per
cent income would be moderate for bust
ness property. If they were making ST.
100000 year before, they now would
have S., 900, 900, or gain of So, 900, 900 a
year in rentals. The property is sup
posed to enhance in value about, 3d.
10000 year, so that they could work
about S6,000,000 a year out of the
scheme. As theorizing mathematical
problem this all figures out very nicely;
but, while we have no patience with
proposition for the government to make
the Observation-Disclosures loans-or at any
rate as for that-we think the scheme
outlined above is too visionary to be
seriously considered. The same process
of reasoning has been used against other
lines of financial policy adopted by the
government and successfully pursued for
years-the bond basis for the national
banks, for instance-yet we all know that
no such results have taken place as that
predicted for the land-loan scheme.

EMPEROR AND PEOPLE.

From the London Globe.
The democratic spirit is spreading
there can be no doubt of that 1t has
got into China, of all places. That en-
pire has not hitherto been remarkable for
its accessibility to ideas, but In this won
derful century we are accustomed to the
revolutionary and extraordinary. The
republicansm of the west has evidently
penetrated into the most eastern fast
nesses. There are Performers" i'll India
what wonder that the infection should
have spread from the land of curry to the
land of chopsticks The man in the
comic poem chewed his pigtail till he
died. Perhaps, metaphorlcally, the Chi
nese are going to do the same thing.
Their pigtail will go, and with 1t all that
made Chinese life and character distlnc-
tive. The emperor of China Is no longer
an absolute autOcrat. He condescends
not only to recognize the complaints OF
his people, but to explain his own con-
duct. Some one has dared TO charge
him with indifference to his peoples suf-
ferings, inasmuch as he is building for
himself "a lordly pleasure house" for
which there is no ed. Not so, says the
emperor, in the course of a decree which
he has promulgated: Il am not build
ing a new palace, am only repairing an
old one; and / am not doing 50 for
myself am doing so for madame ma
mere. so that she NAV have place Of
recreation and enjoyment as she ought
to have" Whereupon he rates his critic
for criticising without knowledge, and
hands him over TO the authorities for ap-
propriate puni hment. The unfortunate
Democrat is likely to have beans as
the saying is; but meanwhile he has
drawn" his emperor and got notoriety
for himself. Clearly there is such thing
as public opinion in China, and the mon
arch has TO take account of it. It Is a
sign of advancing civilization, with all
the blessing which, VIGOROUSLY, civiliza-
ton brings in its train. Happy China,
to have an emperor who is amendabie
to criticism! Probably the critic him
self will be the only unhappy man in the
empire when he reads the emperors
