The VALLEY VIRGINIAN of this week
comes out in a long leader in opposition
to what it calls the free traders aad
their free trade work. The VIRGINIAN
seems to be belated What battle is it
preparing for? In fine, hasn't it been
''left?" If that paper speaks for the
Republican party, the ''campaign of ed
ucation' has not yet done its perfect
work. DispGtch.
The campaign of Misrepresentation
did its work last fall, in deluding a great
many voters about the Mckinley bill.
A campaign of fact and argument will
undo that work in 1892. and that is the
kind OF campaign the Republicans
will undertake and perform. The people
of this country favor protection to home
labor and home industries, and will vote
for it every time when the question is
fairly placed before them The deep
ton of last fall cannot be repeated in
1892 With protection as the issue. the
Republicans will again carry the com

A PIOUS THIEF.
The Cashier of the Consolidated Tank Lin
Company Gets $4,000.

OMAHA, June 81. l.. Campion, who
Tor several years had been cashier Of
the Consolidated Tank Line Company
mere has been arrested by Inspector
bowman, of the New York Fidelity
Surety Company. Campion's shortage
exceeds $4,000 and covers long period.
lie Kept two sets of books, one for the
company and one for himself, and in the
latter he kept the record of his steal.
ings.
Campion was superintendent of the
Sunday school of the church, Coed
shepherd, and during the recent alb
sence of the pastor led the service.
Ills stealings have been known for
some time, but he was spared arrest on
account of his family, he having sons
ana daughters married here.
Ills pastor, too, intcrceded for him,
ana yesterday the preacher went to In
sspector bowman and asked to withdraw
his plea for Campion, saying the latter
was thief before he came to Omaho.
Campion was on the point of succeed
ing when taken.

dict. The suspense was great as the
jurors returned to their seats and re-
piled to the usual question when the
verdict of not guilty was announced
there was tremendous stir. The court
vainly called for order. Both applause
and misses were heard, but the former
predomlnatcd. In few moments
the room was vacated by the gaily
dressed throng and the sensational
trial was over. The defendants present
were warmly congratulated by numer-
GUS friends, and the supremcly happy
verdict was in accordance with the
general expo citation. Betting during
the morning was strongly in favor of
such result.
While tho jury were out Sir William
Gordon Cummings showed no Signs of
nervousness and sat quietly reading
some letters. His friends, however,
plainly betrayed their apprehension.
The defendants were also uneasy and
anxious. When the verdict was an
nounced Sir William was marvelously
cool. lie was really to all outward APP
pearance the most unintercsted Specta-
tor in court. Lord Middleton, his rela-
tive who is reputed to have furnished
the money for tho prosecution, was
quite the reverse. Ills face became
scarlet and he seemed hardly unable to
contain his color. Sir William with
arms folded looked straight at the jury
as II merely interested in studying their
general makeup. Mrs. Wilson and her
daughter were quite pale. They seemed
too much excited to fully realize the
meaning OF the verdict at first Then
they seemed to notice that in the gen
e-al hubbub no one seemed to be pay
ing any attention to them and they de-
parted almost unnoticed amid the
throng. The Wilson's have. in fact,
been badly set down by the revelations
made during the trial as to their pie
beian origin.
Sir William Gordon Cumming coolly
donned his ovcrcoat and hat and
strolled away with Lord Middleton.
Many plying and sympathetic chances
followed him.
The charge Of the Lord Chief Justice
is regarded as unnecessarily severe
against the plaintiff. The evidence was
sufficiently one sided, it is generally
remarked, without his lordship throw
ing his personal interpretations into the
scale against Sir William Gordon Cum
ming. Tho charge is pronounced by
lawyers rs practically an instruction TO
find Tor the defendants.
AS Sir William Gordon Cumming en-
tered MS carriage the crowd raised Il
loud cheer. The demonstration was all
the more noticeable from the fact that
tho Wilson's had driven off moment
before amid dead silence. The fleet of
the verdict is that Sir William must be
cashiered from the army and expelled
from the clubs.
One of the jurymcn has been inter
viewed, and says that from the moment
he entered the iury-room there was no
doubt as to what their verdict would be-
They werc all for the defendants. Only
one was inclined to ward the plaintiff
and he was not at all inclined to pre-
vent unanimity. Personally, all would
have liked to have found way to vim
dictate Sir William, but the evidence
was so strongly against him that they
could not conscientiously decide in his
favor
