Thomas NeIII ON TriaI-CrOvvds OF
the Curious.

LONDON, October 19.-The trial of Thomas
Neill on a charge of wilful murder in CON
nection with what is known as the Lam
beth poisoning case, began in the Old
Bailey yesterday Nelll is charged With
having murdered Matilda Glover, Ellen
Downworth, Alice Marsh and Emma
Shrivel, attempting to poison Louise
Harvey, and attempting to blackmail Dr.
BrOadbent and DR.. Harper. The prisoner
pleaded not guilty to the charges and the
trial began.
Several witnesses testified, but nothing
OF moment was adduced. The court was
again crowded to the doors this morning.
The crowd was so great that it became
necessary to erect barriers at some of the
entrances to check the rush. John G.
Kirby, druggists clerk, testified that
since October last he had sold Neill nux
vomica poison several times in quantities
of one to four ounces, together with empty
capsules. The sales were made to NeilI on
his own prescription as a doctor.
DR.. Graham, who attended Matilda GLOW
er, and gave the death certificate when she
died, testified that he had attended her
several times prior TO her last illness. He
was called to prescribe to counteract the
effects of hard drinking. He admitted that
drinking brandy while taking the medicine
he gave her would be dangerous. He said
he had been told that Miss Glover drank
quantity Of brandy the night of her death.
DR.. Stevenson, who analyzed the stomach
Of the Glover woman testified that he had
found strychnine. ]. w. McCullogh swore
that Neill admitted he poisoned several
persons. The court then adjourned.
Patrick Haynes testified that on going
out with Neill he learned of many of his
amOurs. Neill showed Haynes notebook
in which were entered the initials OF women
who had been poisoned, with the dates OF
their death. Haynes heard Neill declare
that young Harper murdered the girl. He
told him that was very grave charge, that
he ought to communicate what he knew to
the police. Neill responded: "That Isl
foolish, as there is more money to be made
by suing Harper"

NOT an Institution Of Opposition.

Members of the drum corps, in conYersa-
ton with TRIBUNE representative, said
"The opinion that has been formed by a
great many people in this city, and the
statements which have been made to the
effect that the drum corps was organized
for the purpose of working against the band
is not true and has caused some unpleas-
ant misunderstanding to arise among the
members of both the band and drum corps.
The corps did not offer its services for this
campaign or seek TO prevent the band from
obtaining employment, but were engaged
by the republican club with the under
standing that it should be made plain to
the band that the corps did not wish TO de-
priye it of its right to the position. The
corps has adopted a regular schedule of
rates, which are equally as much as
those by which the band is governed, and
do not wish to underbid or in any way to
work against the interest of the band. 1t
is hoped that the citizens of Olympia will
form a more favorable opinion OF
the corps and in the future wait until they
are absolutely sure before making asser-
tions which cause unpleasantness or mis-
understanding to arise"

When the high.protectionists claim
that the workmen in the textile in
dustries in the United States receive
higher wages than are paid in Eng
land they confess the rate paid pei
quantity of work done with earn
ings. No one doubts that weavers
and spinners in factories in the Uni
ted States earn more than similar
workmen abroad. This is because
they work faster and accomplish
more, not because, as is claimed by
high protectionists, they are paid a
higher rate.
: The price paid for weaving 6-4
sacking, 81 ounces to the yard, in
Massachusetts,, is 2.65 cents per yard,
or
In England the weaver is paid 2. 56
cents per yard for the same class of

EDITOR RURALIsT;

EDITOR RURALIsT;
My attention was called 10 this
subject by reading an article in The
Ruralist of September 10Th, writer
by George &. Dwight. lie seems TO
De seeking for knowledge and inyit s
the readers Of this paper to try ard
throw some light on the order on
which I,ices change urder both ex
pansion and contraction. One would
thini: from the way / have started
out that / intended to wlite a long
article showing how and why the
expansion or contraction Of the cur
rency effects the price Of commodi-
ties. Instead / deny that it has any
thing 10 do with the matter of prices
THAT is legitimately.) In my opin-
ion it makes no difference SO far as
prices are concerned, how large a
volume Of currency we may have,
if it is large enough to do the busi-
ness of the country. No danger of
having too much. We use money
only as a convenience. 1t has no
value only as such. All trade is in
commodities. When we sell any
thing and take money for it there
has been no trade made. or at most
only half made, nor will there be
until we have bought something
with it. We would not have sold
our bushel Of wheat it we had not
wanted some other commodity. The
man who bought our wheat did not
have what we wanted. Neither did
the person who had what we want
ed want the wheat. Thus the con-
venience of a medium of exchange.
That medium Of exchange is a crea-
tt re of law and not Of value. Scarce
ly any one wants gold or silver
Why barter in theua more than any
thing else? Why have anything OF
intrinsic value? 1t is no easier to
make srch things legal tender than
something of no value in itself. Ii
the fiat Of sixty millions Of people
is not good what is. 1t is not some
thing that they have got to redeem.
If we borrow of the Government and
give a pledge we have got to redeem
that pledge or forfeit it, but money
wants no redemption. The money
power and the thieving scoundrels
have taught US that, and strange to
say we have believed it. Why should
the Government contract the curren-
cy when it Is wanted for use among
the people? When you took that
dollar for that bu ushet of wheat, dId
it make any difference to you how
many more were left in that mani 5
pocket? How can the,e be too much
money? But there can be too little
if there is not el0ugh to do the bu-
siness with; then you are subject to
an Inconvenience. But why let some
miserable combine put you to this
Inconvenience? Let us get our sub.
treasury-get our money at cost from
the only source that has the power
to furnish il; and cut off the business
of these leeches, that are expanding
and contracting the currency to. ouI
ruin. Supply and demand fixes the
relative value of all articles and that
is all there is about price.
Yours in the cause,

KICK THE RIGHT FELLOW.
SoEse Advice for the Farmers
Who to Kick.

In closing an address to the ALI
ance Convention Of Kentucky recent
iy, Congressman Montgomery said:
But 1t is often said that farmers
arc saturaily complaining people.
1t isseither 50 dry that nothing will
grow or 1t rains so much that the
wetsls and grass win destroy the
eros. 1t Is too hot or it is too cold.
Tie last member of the Legisla-
tule is doing no good, although he
Was elected as a farmer and promis-
ed /, legjslate in the farmers inter-
est. That the farmers are always
kicking at something or somebody
Wei, my friends, say the farmers
and laborers Of this country ought
to lick. They have good reasons
Il kicking. / have never made "A
political speech in my life that / did
not urge them to kick. The trouble
has t:een that they haye not kicked
enc 4gh, orrather, perhaps, that they
havs not kicked with judgment and
discretion.
Did it ever occur to you, my
friends, that a great many farmers
have been kicking the wrong men?
You have been kicking the fellow
that is in trouble with you. You
have been showed into the ditch and
robbed by the protected mouufac-
turers, the trusts and the Wall street
gold bugs; aud your neishbor-the
merchant, the doctor and the law
yer--who live in the same commu-
nifty with you and who must depend
on your prosperity tor their meat
and bread, have been pushed into
the same ditch and robbed with you.
And too many Of you begin to kick
these fellows because they are not
farmers. I sometimes think it is
because it is easier and more conve-
lent to kick the fellows who are in
the ditch with. yOn than to get out
and kick the men who did the push
ing.
Don't waste your time kicking the
people who are in the same condi-
ton you are and whose interest are
.he same, but join hands with all
men who make up our agricultural
communities and suffer from unjust
legislative Determinations and with
one united effort drive from power

SLAVERY AND RELIGION.

Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall
mako you free.-John viii, az.
Jesus Christ was born into q world Of
slaves. The angels who sang their good
news to the shepherds watching In the
bills looked down upon the human race,
herded in one vast slave pen Jesus
came to free the world; but how could
it be accomplished The world at that
time labored beneath the triple tyranny
of Rome, her brutal officers, and the
paid tyrants that ruled under them, be-
sides the traditions Of a priestcraft
which dated back hundreds Of years. II
Jesus had chosen force he might have
freed the chosen people, and established
for them a national freedom which
would have been merely an episode In
the history Of single nation. II he
had enacted a. system Of laws, such an
effort would have been a failure 80 far
as freeing race of slaves is concerned.
Slaves are not made free by law? Man
only attains freedom as he attains it
within. Therefore Jesus chose the only
plan possible by which a world could be
free. He lived and taught the truth in
life. He knew that man is free only as
he knows the truth. He knew that
when man knows the truth he cannot
be bound either by institutions, kings or
priests.
THE ONLY FREEMAN.
The Christian is the only man who is
really free. He has liberty to do what
he pleases. He always pleases to do
what is right when he works within the
circle of his Christian life. he is higher
than law and partakes Of Gods own
nature, becoming a law unto himself,
the law of love having swallowed all
the technicalities within this universal
domain. He is free from superstition,
free from fear, free from the oppression
of passions of life and the mysteries of
death, free to shake off the mortal and
perishable and rise to the eternal and
the spiritual
And yet Colonel Ingersoll has tho
credulity to say that religion isslayery.
| Our fathers were slaves and nearly all
their children are mental serfs. America
| is the only nation with which the gods
have had nothing to do. We all know
| that the Bible upholds slavery In its
| worst and most cruel form" The man
who makes sucn WIG assertions as Lnese
and believes such stuff must involve
| himself in at least three irreconcilable
absurdities. He must believe that truth
is responsible for error and errors
crimes, that the known facts of human
history are false, that slavery is higher
and holier and nobler than liberty.

sponsible for error? A man who pro.
