ANINsUsTIcE TO

The LEDGER, after due consider
alton, came to the conclusion it
would not, under any circumstan-
ees, have anything to say editorially
in the Congressional race in The Dis
trict, and more especially while the
canvass iii Andrain was heing made
by the two candidates. This action
was decided upon at the start blythe
editor of this paper purely in the in
.terest of harmony in this district,
The LEDGER wanted no newspaper
quarrel 10 agitate the people, hence
espoused neither the cause of Mr..
Clark or Mr.. Norton. Personally il
had its preference but the columns
of the paper were not used to further
the candidacy of its choice. This
by way Of explanation.
The time has now come when
silence would be an injustice to the
voters of Audrain county. The high
handed action of the Congressional
Committee at MentgemeryCi.yTaes-
day in virtually DISTINGUISHING BIS
voters in this county and S3s in the
district cannot be overlooked, and
must meet with condemnation al
the hands OF all fair-minded men anG
honest citizens. By the action o!
the committee Audrain is reduced
two delegates in the convention
Pike one, Rails one and st. Charlie!
one. The basis. of representation
was made upon Judge Gantt's vot'
in 1S90instead of Cleveland's vote il
1888, as it should have been. Tn,
fact of the proceeding being of bene
fit or injury to either Mr.. Norton o
Mr.. Clark cuts no figure with tn
LEDGER. 1t is an injustice to tn
people, and will meet the just re
Duke at their hands it deserves.
The only fair and impartial way t.
base a representation in any conven
ton, whether IL the Ninth Dis
trict of Missouri or n Distric
at the North Pole, is on the Presi
DENTAL vote preceding. The vot
ON the National candidate is Away
supposed to represent the full
strength of the party. Any othe
precedent is wrong and wher
adopted it is generally done in tn
interest of somebody or SOM
measure.
For a body of representative me-
to get together and deliberately ro'
the people of their rights in thi
manner is shameful and the pro
eeeding is condemned alike by Nor
ton supporters as well as Clark men
In fact, the outrage is denounce'
on all sides. The public pulse her
is at a high fiutter and the populac
is indignant.
Petitions are being circulate
throughout Audrain county, calm
for a mass meeting at the Cour
House Saturday, May II, at
O'Clock, requesting the chairman O
the Congressional Committee t
issue a call for another meeting t
restore to Audrain her proper rep
resentation. The petitions in Gil

AN FATHER
He Wants The Life Of q New

CHARGED WITH A GRAVE CRIME.
Seven Yelr-0ld Rosa Basile Says That
He Assaulted Her
,HARaED WITH A GRAVE CRIME.

Tho Priest, who is "A Tnrk, Was Met by
the Father Of the Girl, who Called a
Policeman and Had Him Arrested-He
Was Taken to the station House, But
Was Allowed to Return Home Shortly
After in Charge of a Policeman.
NEWARK, N. j., March lii will
murder that parish priest If the law does
not punish him." said Angelo Basile
yesterday morning TO Justice Hayes in
the First Precinct Police Court of New
ark, and he said it calmly and with an
air of uumistak able determination.
Through an interpreter his 7-year-old
daughter, Maria Rosa, whom he held by
the hand, had for a second time told the
Justice a story of assault. The police
surgeon. had also told the Justice that
the girl had been assaulted. The Justice
issued a warrant for Father Joseph Ali,
Roman Catholic priest attached to the
Italian Church of Our Lady of Mount
Carmel, who is charged with committing
the assault.
The little girl attends the parochial
school attached to the church. When
she came home from school Tuesday
evening she was crying and greatly eX-
cited In reply to her fathers questions
she said that when she left school Father
Ali took her into aute-roOm in the school,
where, she said the assault was com
mitted.
The father armed himself with a re-
volyer and went in search of the priest.
lie failed to find him. He then applied
to Justice Hayes for warrant. The
latter had remembered that there had
! lately been factional troubles in the
! church and declined to issue warrant
| even after he had heard the child's story
| from her own lips.
Baslie went home and told his wife that
| there was no law for him, and vowed
that he would kill the priest. Mrs Bas-
lie went to the police court on Wednes-
day night and begged the Judge to save
| her husband from committing murder.
| Ba.ile was at that time at the parochial
| residence again with loaded revolver
in his ,ue..t aearching for Father All.
The Justice ,,-ut for him and the little
girl yesterday morning, and after hear
ing her IeCi.e her account of the as
sault again without variation from her
FIRST version of it he issued the warrant.
Father Ali was arrested last evening.
The girls father met the priest in the
street, and, seizing him by the coat col
lar, called policeman The priest was
taken to Police Headquarters, followed
by crowd of men and boys He was
not recorded on the blotter, but was hur-
ried to the detective room, from which
reporters were excluded, and an air OF
mystery prevailed An hour later ht
was allowed to return to his home in
charge Of policeman.
Bishop Wigger said yesterday after
noon that Father Ali had been with him
at Seaton Hall for two or three hours
early in the day, and that he had thor
oughly examined the priest concerning
the charge and was satisfied that he wa;
| innocent.
Father Ali, who is Turk, was con

Hours are Very Close.
NEW YORK, March H. - The bicycle
race that is now in progress at the Madi-
con Square Garden is one of the most
hotly contested on record. For forty
eight hours the nen have been racing
round the ten-lap track, and at very
lively pace, too, and the three leaders,
Lumsden, AshiuRer and Martin, are only
separated by the leagSh Of their wheels.
The fourth mau, Lamb, is lap behind.
He lost this distance through fall. the
other riders gaining lap on him while
he was getting new wheel. The fifth
man, Reading, is lap behind Lamb.
This loss was caused through an acci-
dent. The next man is Schock. He
broke his wheel on Wednesday. and has
been falling behind ever since. Stage is
the last man. The pace has been too hot
for him. If the men keep together to-
day and tomorrow, the finish will be a
very exciting one.
The score at | O'clock was: Ashinger,
696 miles, 8 laps; Lumsden, $50 miles,
5 laps; Martin. $50 miles, 4 laps; Lemb,
$50 miles, laps; Reading, $50 miles,
