Washington, ID. g., Feb. ~
l892.-One hundred and sixty
years ago to-day was born q
child whose name was destined
/ TO become a household word in
every liberty.loving home in
the world; and that child was
christened George Washing
ton.
1t was my pleasure to-day To
visit the home made famous by
him.
II is situated on the Virginia
bank of the Potomac, and is
reached from Washington by
boat. The boat left the wharf
at the foot of Seventh street at
10 o'clock a. m, and passed
down to the old historic Vir'
ginia town, Alexandria. From
Alexandria we went next TT

land. The only sign Of defense

which is, however, not garris-
oned. The fort is about oppo-
site Mt. Vernon, the home Of
Washington.
The approach from the river
to the Tomb of Washington ia
BY a circling hill-road; and this
traversed, we were at the rest
ing place Of the soldier, patriot
and statesman, the "6rst in war,
first in peace and frat In the
hearts Of his countrymen."
There within marble Baskets,
behind the iron grating of the
heavy gate. with the bcnedic.
ton Of this world resting on
them are the remains Of George
and Martha Washington.
Great was their work, and a
grateful country remembers
them.
| next visited the Old Tomb
where the family was first laid
to rest; then the summer-house
between the mansion and the
river. Under this summer
house is q vault; and down a
steep and winding path is the
spring.house, in which is a
spring Of sparkling water.
This is the Deer Park which is
covered witha growth Of briers
and heath.
From the spring.house back
by the summer.house, ! went
to the Ransion.
The mansion is nearly one
hundred feet long, and the mid
die part was built by Lawrence,
the half brother Of George
Washington. The remainder
was built by the General, and
named in honor Of Admiral
Vernon, of the British Navy.
/ entered first the library at
the west end. Here are to be
seen many Of Washington's
books, some papers in his own
neat handwriting, his famous
Farewell Address, and a book
that attracted more attention
than almost any other, the
Bible of Washington's mother,
in which is this record with
others: "George Washington,
son of Augustine and Margaret
Washington, was born on the
18th day Of February, 1882,
about 10 o'clock in the morn
ing" Then follows a record Of
his christening and baptism.
1t will be noticed the record
reads Feb. II, which was old
style. Just above the library
and reached by a rather narrow
flight of stems. is the room in
which Washington died. In it
are many relics Of Washington :

this forenoon to hear the decis-
ion of Judge DuBose on the APP
plicatiOn for bail in the case of
Lille Johnson. Only men and
a few colored women composed
the crowd. On the opening Of
the court it was found that At
torney General Peters was not
present and the judge announ.
ced that he would take up the
misdemeauor docket.
At $50 Miss Lille John
son appeared, accompanied BY
her father and she took a seat
at the bar. She had the APP
pearance Of being very nef-
vous, with twitchings Of the
muscles of the face and body
being plainly discernable. 81
When her veil hal been
turned aside, the court read hb
ruling, in the following words
The State vs.. Alice Mitchell
and Lille Johnson:
The defendants were jointly
indicted, charged with murde
in the first degree. On indicf
ment thus found, defendant,
being confined in the county
Jail awaiting trial, the defend
ant Johnson applies for bail Of
a proceeding Of habeas corput
instituted for that purpose.
Whether she be entitled
bail as demanded, involves
question of law as well as fact
which must be decided alone
by tine court. 1t is provide
in the declaration of rights O
the constitution of our Sta0
that all prisoners shall be baiE
able by sufficient suretics. tam

the proof is evident or the pre-
sumption great" The obvious
meaning of this language is
that when the proof is evident
or the presumption great, that
the defendant is guilty of cap
ital offense, bail cannot be al
lowed.
But to determine this the ap-
plicant for bail must summon
the witnesses and the court
proceed to fully investigate the
case on the point as to whether
the prof is evident or the pre-
sumption; for tire burden of
proof is on the defendant to|
show that she has the constitu-
tional right to be bailed-that
the proof against her is not ev-
ident.
Witnesses in the case have |
been summoned and fully ex-|
amined, and without reviewing|
the evidence as presented, it is |
sufficient to say that the court
is clearly of opinion that the|
proof is evident that the defen.
dant aided and allotted in the |
of the crime with
which she and her co-defend-
ant are charged-a crime the
most shocking and malignant
ever perpetrated by women.
However, the court may con.

health affected by confinement
would endanger the life of the|
defendant, she ought to be bail
ed, as the policy of the law is
not to punish unnecessarily |
those who are charged with |
crime, before trial and convic-
ton.
1t appears that defendant
Johnson has been in precarious
health since a mere child, and
for this reason, and for this
alone, the court will grant the
of the petitioner, and
admit the defendant to bail.
The bond was fixed by the
court at $4,000; and a mo-
ment later her father, Mr.. J.l
M. Johnson, left the court

a signifcant Victory.


The return of William L. Wilson,
of West Virginia, to the next Con-
gress by an increased majority is q
matter for congratulation to the
whole country. The full weight OF
the Republican power of attack was
brought to bear in West Virginia.-
1t was deemed the most easily assail-
able of the States of the solid South.
As the foremost Democrat in West
Virginia, and one of the foremost in
the United States, Mr.. Wilson was q
shining mark for the shafts of his adj
versaries. If they could have car
ried off his scalp there would have
been rejoicing in the camp of the en-
envy, Notwithstanding their reverse
in the State. His return to Congress
by an increased majority is one OF
those triumphs of brains and integ-
rity over Doodle and political fnesse
which fill the hearts of honest men
with pride. It is new proof of the
public virtue, and a gratifying dem
onstration of the public appreciation
of lofty and honorable service.
The moral victory achieved in
West Virginia is as significant as
was its political Importance. The
State is worthy offshoot of the Old
Dominion. Its Democrats are un-
purchasable. -Pbila. REGARD.

William LWilson.

Against the irresistible landslide
that has swept over the country the
efforts Of Secretary Stephen B. Elkins
to compass the defeat of the Hon.
WilliamzL. Wilson in his Congress
sional fight in West Virginia have
proved unavailing.
The kindly scholor whose familiar
ity with economic questions has SO
strengthened his party in Congress,
and whose eloquence has been go effec-
tive in the House of Representatives
and on the stump, is reelected by a
substantial majority.
It is by no means improbable that
Mr.. Wilson'S services to the party
and to the country will be rewarded
by the portfolio of one of the depart
ments; but richly as he deserves the
promotion and valuable as his coun-
sells would be in the Cabinet, the
House can i'll afford to give him up.
There is no one in Congress to-day
better fitted to frame the tariff legis-
lation demanded by the people than
William L. Wilson, and the work OF
the Fifty-third Congress will be SO
largely devoted to such legis lation
that his absence would be very keenIy
felt by the Democratic members.
Whether his work shall be done in
Congress or in the Cabinet is still in
doubt, but that it will be done with
ability and advance the interests OF
the people atlarge and not those OF
any particular class or party. his
honorable record of previous services
attests. -Bdltimor Netos.

A Touching Speech by Gen
Hampton.

The Democrats of Sumpter, S. c.,
on Monday evening last celebrated in
an enthusiastic manner the recent
national victory. Fully 5000 people
participated in the ceremonies. The
event of the night was the appearance
of Gen. Wade Hampton, who was
deposed from the United States SEN
ate when the Tilmanites came into
power. He said that since he had
been howled down by a mob in the
State campaign two years ago he had
determined never again to speak,
but he could not resist the invitation
to assist in such q celebration. He
said that in South Carolina Cleve-
lands victory meant The rescue Of the
State from worse than death; for a
Republican victory would have made
the people the victims of the force
bill. He said his life work was done.
He had never sought Official position,
but had always worked for the good
OF the State. If after death his heart
was examined, South Carolina would
he found engraved upon it. The
only thing he asked of the State was
the privilege of laying his bones
among his people and that they give
him little earth for charity. The

Senator Faulkner,s View.

There were quite q number of
prominent West Virginia Democrats
in this city yesterday, including Gov.
Fleming, w. 3. Chiffon, the chair
man of theState committee, aud Sena-
tor Faulkner. Tho latter made be-
tween fifty and sixty speeches during
the campaign, but feels repaid by the
victory which has been achieved.
1.-The Republicans, {" said he, fare
finding time between the intervals of
abusing each other to predict that
they will soon return to power. Why,
sir, under the equable taxation that
the Democrats will devise, this coun-
try will enter upon an era of prosper
ity such as will recall the days of
1916 to 1857, when only two Repub-
iicans in the House, and one of them
the speaker, voted against contin-
uance of the low tariff. I look for
Democratic supremacy for some
years to come"
Senator Faulkner would not be
surprised,to see the Republicans en-
deaver to pass some taritf reform bills
in the Senate during the coming ses-
sion, and he believes that the Demo-
Gratis will appoint commission to sit
next spring and summer and prepare
a tariff bill.
Mr.. Chiffon was the recipient yes
terday of continual compliments and
congratulations upon his successful
management of the West Virginia
campaign.-Wd Washington Post.
