the memory of the late Warden Randall-the
former which received unanimous approval and
the latter which was delivered at the annual eel.
ebraton of Founders Day by the Pieran circle of
the C. L. S. C. here-have been tastefully pre-
pared. and forwarded to the widow and family Of
our late revered benefactor.
The resolutions are set upon stiff card board.
About four inches from the top the initials j. J. R.
are knOtted together by bow of black ribbon
from out of which on both sides group of forget
me-nots, panses. roses etc., spread themselves
upward in a half moon shape. From these. and to
within about inch of the sides of the ground
work, another group of the same flowers eutwne
themselves upward, from the utmost sprays of
which the words Resolutions of Coincidence are
strung in a semi-circle downward shape. To the
right of the initials two handsome that of Of
icer the other of a condemned captive-are
casped in friendship across tablet upon which
are the words, Founders Day. April. 1892" To
the left the American Eagle rests in the folds Of
the Star Spangled Banner, around which are IN
s. p. saltwater, Mimi" Beneath the initials two
angels support cross and crown the rays of
which pierce the clouds in which they enve-
and resolutions.
The eulogy is written on thick paper. each page
bound with black border The title page-"In
Memoriam, Hon. ]. j. Randall, Eulogy by the
Secretary of the Perian Circle @. L. S. c., Found

is beautifully engrossed. On the top the North
Star shines resplendently. and on both sides two
birds are perched upon the utmost bough warb.

wings and seek their rest.

Wealth.
Some crank has become possessed of the
notion that the accumulation of wealth in
the hands of individuals should be regarded
as public misfortune, or crime, and
would resort to legislation as preventive.
imposing penalties by forfeiture or other
wise to prevent such accumulation. There
are many who look with envy upon the rich
and entertain the opinion that general
distribution and equalization of worldly
possessions would be conducive to much
higher degree. OF at least to more extern
:sive dissemination of human happiness. If.
then, the position be taken that the acquisi.
ton of large fortunes in the hands of indi.
viduals should be regarded not as an evil,

Public conscience is very singular thing.
1t is extremely alive on some questions, and
as extremely dead on others. For instance.
if poor fellow stole brass collar button,
public conscience would promptly have him
punished. but man might sell the collar
button for gold and public conscience would
not demand that he be forthwith punished.
Again, man gambling for dollar must
be punished, but gambling for thousands of
dollars In Boards of Trade and Chambers
of Commerce is permitted. Public cOnsci-
ence 0stracises the small gambler and courts
the large ones. Could anything be more
cowardly? We are a race of ignorant cow.
ards while we refuse to understand that
both men are alike guilty. and while we
refuse to treat both alike. Public consci-
ence has made the phrase ''fallen woman;"
public conscience refuses to have such a
term applied to fallen man. This is not
the land of the free nor the home of the
brave while such injustice reigns so SUI
premely. We had better stop Dragging so
much. even though our country stands first
in many particulars. and address ourselves
to the task of growing into knowledge of
justice as applied to all.-Progressive Age.

Hearsay Evidence.

An eminent lord chief justice. who was
trying right-of- way case, had before him a
witness-an old farmer-who was proceed
ing to tell the jury that he had "knowed
the path for sixty yeer. and my feyther
tould as he heerd my Granddaughter say"-
''Stop!" said the judge; 1--WE can't have
any hearsay evidence here" ''NOt?" ex-
claimed Farmer Giles. ''Then how dost
know who thy feyther was 'cept by hear

judge said: I'm courts of law we can only
be guided by what you have seen with your
eyes. and nothing more or less" ''Oh, that
be tale!" replied the farmer. II ha' got
bile on the back of my neck. and never
seed 'un. but be prepared to swear that
he's there" This second triumph on the
part of the witness sent in torrent of
hearsay evidence about the foOtpath which
obtained weight with the jury. albeit the
judge told them it was not testimony of any
value, and the farmers party wOn.-Ex.

oUo1E TaEsE UTrERANOEs.


The esteemed and very polite Intelti-
qcrcer is so fond OF quoting an utter
ance Of Editor WATTERsON, Of the Lou
isville Courier Journal, to the effect that
the Democratic party is for free trade
this year, that mayoe it would like to
quote this from his able pen-it is nice
and fresh:
There is no declaration in the Chicago
platform, printed or implied, which sug-
gests ga precipitate sweeping away OF the
tariff. That is a Pigment Of the Republican
policy Of deception, which seeks 70 play
upon the credulity Of fools, aud the cupid
ity Of knaves. The Chicago platform an
n0unces q doctrine ana denounces a sys-
tcm That is one thing. To destroy the
system and 70 set up a system in its place
in conformity TO the doctrine, IS quite an-
other thing In such a work, no man wOCld
be entitled 10 the least credit who should
seriously propose 10 proceed upon other
than most careful and conservative lines,
and no Democrat Of any consequence has
limited at precipitaucy in the actual bust
ness Of revisinga and reforming the revenue
laws.
Or maybe our neighbOr, who is trying
TO convince somebody or other that the
Democracy wants to throw the custom
houses into the ses, would prefer this
from Harper's Weekly which, it will ad-
nit, is q noR-partisan and honest jour
nal;
we risk. therefore, little in expressing
tho o-inion-the printed declaration in the
Chicago platform nOtwlthSt andlng-tnaJ
Democratic success in the national election
veiil not be followed by precipitate sweep
ing awey of the whole tariff, such as the
Republicans so dolafully predict; not
Derhaus. because the Republican Sen
Ste will be there 10 prevent
s. but because the Democrats
v-ould not favor il, even if they controlled
IN tbe branches Of the National Govern
mont. Instead OF being too radical, 1t IS
rother to be aDDrehended that the Demo
crats will not be energetic enough IN At
facxinq the manifold abuses or our hlgh
nrotective system. They viii probably not
- farther than TO put the articles which
"a commonly designated as raw materials
mon the free list, 10 reduce the duties on
ne manufactured articles corresponolngly,
ma 10 prevent by proper removal OF
s,,tjes the formation or continuance OF op-
,~ess;ve trusts. This will not be free

ERECTION. and gradually lead 70 the aoop-
iod Of a'rqfional system.

MARTINS FERRY.

Yesterday evening Ed. Shipman,
son of Levi Shipman, Jr., was painfully
hurt and had very narrow escape from
being killed. He lives in the Third
ward and while up town he jumped on
the o'clock train to ride down as far
as the platform on the Terminal road at
the Belmont brewery, which is about
thirty feet above the street. When the
train got to the platform it was
going at pretty good speed
and when Shipman jumped he
ran the full length of the platform and
went over the end Of it and fell to the
street below. When the trainmen saw
him fall they Immediately stopped the
train and went back to see how bad
Shipman was hurt. When he was
picked up he was taken TO his home on
Washington street. Upon examination,
besides being pretty badly bruised up
in other ways, it was found that his
left leg was badly broken above the
knee. 1t has only been short time
since this young man had a severe at
tack OF typhoid fever, and now he is
unfortunate enough to be laid up in bed
for several weeks and perhaps months
again. No blame can be attached to
any one but the boy himself.

and Fred Duff left yesterday for Eli
wood, Pa, to take positions in the new

House tonight.
Col. FELLOWS stands IN the front
rank among the great orators Of the
country. He has been in Wheeling be-

audience will be limited only by the
capacity OF the house. He has the po-
litlcal situation at his fingers ends and
has few equals as an expounder Of the
true Democratic faith.
This will be Col. FELLOWS opening
speech in West Virginia as it will be
throughout the State the opening of the
Democratic campaign, and his reception
should, as it undoubtedly will be, a
rOusing one.

prove our allegations, that the editor
of the Kicker followed the traffic or
body snatching for more than five
years in the State of Ohio, and that he
escaped from Joliet while he had yet
t NO years to serve. We further add
that we have armed ourself to shoot
him on sight.
EDITOR BIG BONANZA.
AS to his charges, they they are
chestnuts ~ years old, and will only
make people smile. AS to his shooting
us, he has tried it on five different
times and miserably failed. We will
stand up against a wall and let him
shoot at us from a distance of ten feet,
and if he plants one bullet within
twelve inches of any part of us we will
donate fifty dollars for a local hospital.
He doesn't belong out here at all, His
sphere lies in peddling popcorn In the
effete east,
TALLY AGAN.-Recognizing the fact
that this town has done much for The
Kicker, and feeling deeply gratefuland
desiring to show our appreciation in a
substantial manner, we have purchased
in the east and shall present to the
town a hand fire engine of latest pat
tern. At the present date the sole out
fit of our fire department consists of a
stepladder and an old tin pail, and we
are at the mercy of the devouring ele-
ment. We are no alarmist, but we
must confess that our slumbers have
been nightly disturbed by visions of
red-tongued flames licking their f1end-
ish course up and down Apache avenue
-devOuring saloon after saloon, wiping
out one poker room after another, at
lacking one edifce after another, until
the heavens for miles around were
lighted with the baleful glare of a con-
fagration full of disaster to our ap-
palled and helpless citizens.
Our present will be named after our
paper. We are not as thoroughly
posted as We hope to be on fire engines,
but we venture the statement that this
one is full jeweled, return hIes, patent
cylinders and copper bottomed, and
that every citizen of the town will be
proud of it. We understand that his
honor the mayor (who is ourselD will
soon issue a call for a public meeting
to organize a fire company. We sug-
gest that he be made chief of the fire
department, while we hereby announce
our readiness to serve as foreman if
elected. The engine is expected to,
arrive in about four weeks.
