General Weaver on the Democrat
PARTY.

There is not single phase of the
money question concerning which the
democratic party is in accord with
public sentiment-neither tree coinage,
the bank question, postal savings banks
nor any other feature of the great
controversy. The party lives in the
past, draws its inspiration from the
past, has its face turned to the past and
its back upon the glorious future. In
fact the democrat party is not party
in the true sense of the word. 1t is
not an organization of persons who are
in accord upon certain questions of
public policy, but is an aggregation Of
discontinued elements, and hence can
have but brief respite of power.
X x X \
The democrat party has task on its
hands which it can never solve from its
standpoint. Its leaders do not com
prehend the march OF events, are unac
quainted with the strength of the
reform element in the country, and are
hostile to the three great reforms
which have been evolved by the growth
of modern civilization-land reform,
money reform, transportation reform

LIKE THE DEACON CASE.
Except That Woman Plays the Chief
Role.

PARIS, May 2&-This city has been startled
by murder that in many ways resembles the
Deacon affair, save that in the present case the
shooting was done by q woman. The wife of
welEknown club man has for some time past
suspected that her husband was carrying on a
liaison with the wife of an official high in the
government She kept watch on her hus-
baud and the suspicion Of the latter's unfaith-
fulness became a certainty. She made vain
attempts to catch the couple together
until Saturday night. That evening her hus-
band told her he was going out on business
and would not be home until late. As soon as
her husband left the house she hastily threw
on her wraps and followed him. lie entered q
house in the quarter I Europe, his wife re-
mained outside for some time and then entered.
She discovered the apartments her husband
had entered. Ihe door OF the room was locked,
but the infurated wife threw herself against il
end forced it open. Inside were her husband
and the wife of the government official. The
evidence was complete. The wronged wife
had a revolver in the pocket of the dress.
Drawing the weapon she advanced upon
the woman, who had or0uched In ab-
ieet fear in q corner OF the room, and
deliberately aiming at her fired. The bullet
struck home and the wounded woman begged
piteously TO be spared. But she appealed in
vain. Time and again did the revolver fash
until five bullets had taken eeect During the
shooting, the husband. il is said, stepped for
ward to disarm his vile, but she turned on him
and threatened to kill him If he advanced an-
other loot Other people in the house rushed
to the apartment, but none dared to place O
hand upon the woman. After the cartridges
in the revolver were exhausted the wife calmly
awaited the coming OF the police, who bad been
summoned. and then quietly signifed her de-
sire 70 Ge taken away from the place. The
woman died in few hours. An effort to OBJ

that has occurred here in many years.
A special train carrying several hundred
sports from Terre HaUte arrived here at mid
night. The place selected was Whites opera

neither having been defeated in the ring. The
betting was even and at least $1,000 was u2 on
the final result. The match Is to finish at 130
pounds give or take two.
Il was o'clock when time was called. Both

The first round was wild, Lloyd olinching at
every opportunity and fighting for bis op-

twist Lloyd threw his man TO the floor in ter
rife manner. Farmer had TO be assisted to his

NICE, May 20.-Edward Parker Deacon,
the slayer OF Abeille, the banker, whom
he found in a room at the Hotel Splendide
with Mrs. Deacon. was today convicted of
the wilfull wounding OF Abeille and
sentenced to one years Imprisonment at
hard labor. Hundreds of would-be specta-
tors could not gain admission to the court
room. The gallery was occupied by ladies
attired in elegant toilets. The crowd in
the gallery was composed almost entirely
OF members of the aristocracy OF Nice.
The first glance around hardly dozen
Americans or Englishmen could be seen.
NICE, May 2l.-Since the condemnation
and sentence of Mr.. Edward Parker
Deacon for the wilful wounding of Abeille
he has been confined in the prison

WASHINGTON- D. C. Nav q


Some of Representative Bynum's en-
thusiastic friends are trying to make a
vice-presidential candidate of him.
Mr.. John Barrett, editor of the Port
land (Ore.) Telegram and delegate to the
national democratic convention, is in the
city. Last night, at his rooms. about a
dozen congressman assembled, among
them Mr.. Bynum. The conversation
turned upon the vice-presidency. and it
was the unanimous expression of opinion
that the Indiana representative would
make a good running-mate for Cleveland.
The Cleveland and Bynum ticket was
proposed and seriously discussed at the
capitol today. Mr.. Bynum found that he
had a veritable boom" on hand.
There is probably no truth in the report
that this conference last night of Mr.. By
NUNS friends was pre-arranged affair.
1t was only an informal discussion, but
may result in a movement that will put
the Indianian in the field as full fedged
vice-presidential candidate.

said, be treated as an ordinary
prisoner. He would meet with every
consideration, would be allowed to wear
his own clothing and supply his own
meals, His friends would have access
to him three times a week, and. aside
from being curtailed of his liberty, he
would be a state prisoner in name only.

Mr.. Austin Deacon, brother of the
prisoner, held conference today
with NJ. Bret, distinguished lawyer,

project to see what steps could be taken to
secure a mitigation OF the sentence OF one
years Imprisonment imposed upon his
brother. There is no denying the
fact that the conviction of Mr..
Deacon is not in accord with public senti-
ment here. The action of the populace
yesterday at the trial and after Mr.. Deacon
was condemned showed plainly that pub

A SERMON IN FEW WORDS.

A lady contributor to one of the
Chicago journals deals a fearful blow to
that morbid sentiment which would see
a fellow being go down into the depths
of hades because at some time in his or
her life a temptation presented itself too
strong to be resisted and poor, frail,
human nature fell. Her words are a
sermon which should sink deep INTO the
hearts of those whom IA kinder fate has
pursued. and who seated upon a II am
holier than thou" pedestal withdraws a
helping hand to the unfortunate that
move along in the worlds passing show.
Here is the sermon:
That's right. Stand on shore and beat
him back when he attempts to make a
landing. Ii necessary club him under
water and congratulate yourself that
you are so self righteous and everlast-
ingly holy that nobody can get a chance
to swing a club at you. What is this
half-dead thing that is trying to force its
way onto dry land from the whelming
waters of temptation and misery? A
Oh. no: only a human creature
like yourself. Sin overtaken and sub
dued by evil. He is young, perhaps. and
had a mothers care or a fathers
training. He has drifted with easy cur
into dangerous waters. and
the devil. who turks beneath the
flood, is trying to snatch him down to
hell! Raise your club and give him a
clip! The audacity of such a boy trying
to be anything with such a record be
hind him! Oh, / am sick OF you all, you
omniycrous feeders on reputation, you
mvcilers of past records of shame! |
hope in my heart that If you ever get
your own foot on the threshold of some
haven of relief, after a tight tusslc with
danger and death, an angel will stand
over against the doorway with Il flaming
sword and demand to see your crcdcn-

EARLY CLOSING mon EMENT>.

\ movement is on foot among the
clerks of the business houses in the city
having for its object the closing of stores
at : o'clock in the evening on every week
day excepting Saturday when they are
to close at IL o'clock p. m. The move
mcnt lies right along the line of a sound
business proposition, of sanitary interests
and common sense. No good reason has
ever been advanced why business houses
should run along into the hours of arti-
iicial light. The fault has been with the
merchants and not with the patrons. No
man nowadays thinks Of going to a bank
to transact business after 3 o'clock p. m.
because il is known that such institu-
TORS are closed at that hour. The pco-
Pile have been educated lido their bank
ing business within certain hours and
they Ito what they have to do or pass it
over.
II the people knew they could do their
trading only within certain times of the
day they would adjust their actions ac-
cordingly. and clerks and merchants
could retire from their placcsof business
ut Christian hours. The whole matter
lies with the business men of the city.
II they make it known all of them. we
mean that their stores will close at s
o'clock in the evening, and if they
promptly close them at that hour. the
business will be done. Under the Solo
monit or Masonic division Of time the
day Of twcnty.four hours is divided into
three equal parts, eight hours being de.
voted to labor. eight hours TO recreation.
study and refreshn,cnt and eight hours
TO sleep. Under that very sensible di
vision Of time men enjoyed vigorous
health and lived to u good old age.
But in these latter days Of close coinpc.
tition and mad rush for the almighty
dollar men coniinc themselves in poorly
ventilated rooms for twelve ar fourteen
hours continuously, snatch hasty
lunches, become old at thirty and pass
