PHILLIPS ACQUITTED.
Judge Severance Directs the Jury to
Find the Defendant Not
Guilty.

The trial of John Phillips on the
charge of grand larceny in the second
degree, for stealing 43 bushels of
wheat valued at 500 from the granary
of Allen Farmer, of Vernon, on Nov.
Sth last, begun Thursday afternoon,
ook up most of today. Half dozen
witnesses were put on by the State.
E. w. Gates testified that on Nov.
4th Phillips was at Garden City and
asked him how late at night the mill
owned by him and A. Friend was open
to receive wheat. Mr.. Gates told him
that it was not open la ter than nine
O'Clock.
A. Friend testified that between
eight and nine o'clock that night
young Phillips brought in load of
wheat.
Allen Farmer and others testified
to missing some wheat the next day.
The case was opened for the defense
by A. j. Stackpole in an eloquent adj
dress. The following will serve as
sample of some of the choice flights
OF oratory with which he seasoned his
remarks to the jury: SIT is not every
man starting out in life who can
make every defile a Thermopylae,
every plain Marathon, and every
battle with error wingleSs victory"
Half dozen or more witnesses were
put on by the defense, which sought to
prove an alibi. They stated that on
the 4th of November Phillips was in
Vernon Center. Phillips was the first
witness on the stand and denied the
charge, and denied that he was in
Garden City at any time near the date
named.
The following were witnesses for
the State: Sidney n. Frazer, G. III.
Well, Matthew Farmer John Farmer,
Ezra Gates, Andrew Friend, M. B.
Rasdall, FL. G. Howard, Leonard Ko-
peske, Cornelia Morris, Herman Sid
ney, +. S. Hemingway.
Those for the defense were John
Phillips, Peter Mertesdorf, T. L. Bow
en-, L. L. Babcock, Herman Sands, A.
Morrison, Geo. Gray, Henry Krause,
j. G. Gilman, Geo. E. Francis, A. M.
Faulin, Willard Doty.
When the defense rested at 2:35
o'clock, before the closing arguments
were made, Judge Severance addressed
the jury and said, in substance,
that not the slightest proof of a
crime having been committed had
been shown, and that there was not
scintilla of evidence to show that the
wheat claimed to have been stolen
was that which was sold at the mill
at Garden City, if any was sold there.
None of the ordinary surrounding Cir
cumstances were present, and the
State had absolutely failed to make
out case. Therefore, he considered
it his duty to direct the jury to retire
and bring in verdict of not guilty.
This the jury accordingly did. 1t
is understood that the other indict-
ment against Phillips will be dismiss
ed, as the same evidence applies to
both cases.
Joseph McWOlf and Rasmus horst
dahl were admitted to citizenship.

DESERVES RECOGNITION.

As the time draws near when the
legislature will meet, the ranks of the
applicants for positions in the two
houses are growing. Every part of
the state is clamorous for recognition.
Blue Earth county has a candidate
with superior claims upon the Repub.
lican party, and who is in every
way fitted for any office that it is in
the power of either branch of the
legislature to bestow. We refer to
Hon. Ira P. Shissler, who for ten
years has worked faithfully and as
siduously for the party ard has Meth
er asked for reward or received any.
During the late campaign fiattering
reports were received at headquarters
concerning his work, from every part
of the state, from St. Vincent to
Hokah. 1t is reported that he will re.
ceive strong support.f for the position
of first assistant clerk of the lower
house, or reading clerk. 1t requires a
good reader with strong voice tC
properly discharge the duties of these
positions, and Mr.. Shissler has those
as well as the other qualifications

should see that his interests are look.
ed after when the distribution of the
1blums is made.

HILL, THE POLITICAL JESTER.

Grover Cleveland is a man wrapped
up in his own sublime being. ne does
not see very far into a grindstone.
This fact will prevent him from seeing
the sarcasm and the political jests in
the speech OF David B. Hill, delivered
two weeks ago. Hills words will prob
ably appease the great Mugwump Of
Buzzard's Bay. On the bare face OF it
the speech was a full surrender to the
Cleveland faction.
Mr.. Hill in part repudlates the Chi
cago platform and says that it does not
mean what it says. He attempts to
place the party back on the Mills bill.
But Henry Watterson, who drafted the
platform at Chicago, says that it means
what it says, that it means free trade
and that that is the issue. The same
Watterson says that the present plat
form Is as far ahead OF the Mills bill as
the Mills bill was ahead Of the Morrill,
law. Who knows best, Watterson or
Hill? Hill SAYS: ave stand where
we ever stood" But Watterson says
I'm 1884 and again Id 1888 we were
towards, this year we have thrown Off
the mask and we are free trade"
Again we ask who is the greater author-
ity?
But it is when Mr.. Hill comes to the
Mckinley law that his sarcasm be-
comes apparent. There he says: at
is undoubtedly true that in this state
the aggregate amount OF all wages paid
the year after it's passage may have
been greater than the year preceding"
1t undoubtedly is true, Mr.. Hill, for La
Dor Commissioner Peck has shown it to
be true, not only in the aggregate, but
in 1880 individual cases. He then
adds: ut may be possible that there
h ave been few less strikes during the
past two years." etc. 1t is tor making
these very statements that tho Cleve-
land Mugwump committee has arrested
public official, an appointee Of Grover
Cleveland and afterwards of David b.
Hill. Werefer, OF course, to Mr.. Peck.
Mr.. Hill is very careful not to criticise
Mr.. Peck, and says that his report is
probably" and undoubtedly true"

Dead ir tho prempier.s Bog.

A correspondent relates the following
melancholy incident, which occurred
the other evening at the Theater DIES
Gobelins, Paris, during the presentation
of "L'Oiseau Bleu;"
"The performance was interrupted by
o sudden cessation in the dialogue and
the leading lady was seen to look intent
ly into the prompter's box before the
footlights, 1t happened that this was in
the most interesting point Of the third
act, and naturally all eyes followed those
of the leading lady. The audience of
course could not see the cause of the In.
terruption, but the artists on the stage
noticed that the prompter had fallen
asleep, and by an unfortunate coinci-
dence the actress had forgotten her lines
at the same moment.
"After waiting half O minute and the
man giving no evidence Of returning to
consciousness, one of the actors stepped
forward and gently shook him. There
was no response, and looking closer
those upon the stage saw that the
prompter was dead. Without dropping
the curtain the people on the stage re-
manned in their various positions that
the incident found them. The manager
stepped to the front and made his expla-
nation, the body was dragged down
under the stage and a new prompter
climbed into his place, while the play
proceeded with only three minute
wait. Boston Transcript.

The Republicans are spending more
time and money than they ever d id to
catch the Mexican vote OF this county
this year; in fact they are devoting al
most all their energies to that purpose.
They will get badly fooled for the ma
jority of our Mexican population is
Democratic and cannot be bambozzled
by those Repu blican fellows.-Gazette.
The Republicans are not trying to get
the Mexican vote for the reason that
the Mexicans know who their friends
are and will vote accordingly. The
Democratic Gazette has said that it did
not care for the votes of these "black
skinned hyenas," and the people that
the Democratic have thus insulted will
take them at their word. The Repub-
licans have no need to fab for votes
during election time. That party has
always treated all classes of people
with the utmost courtesy, so that it is
not obliged to apologize when it wants
their votes. The manner in which the
Democratic Gaze.te has treated the
Mexican people is most shameful and
insulting, and we imagine its soft and
honied words will not have much effect
upon the people that only few months
agoit denounced as Ignorant, black
faced hyenas" who ought to be put IN
Jail or driven out of town.

At the meeting OF the Department of Super.
intendeDce of the National Educational asso-
citation, recently held at Brooklyn, N. Y, Hon.
w. T. Harris, United States Commissioner OF
Education, presented the following preamble
and resolution:
"whereas, the worlds congress auxiliary OF
the Worlds Columbian Exposition has made
a patriotic suggestion that at the same time
that the exposition grounds at Chicago are pc
ing dedicated on October II, 1892 the anniver
sary of the discovery of America, all the people
of the United States unite in celebration of
the anniversary; of which celebration the pub
lie schools OF the Republic be everywhere the
center: therefore,
Resolved that the Department Of superin-
tendence of the National Educational Associa
ton heartily endorse this suggestion as serving
the purpose of both interesting the youth of the
youth of the Republic In the Exposition, and
also of giving TO the public schools of the Ma.
ton fitting prominence as the fruit of four
centuries of American life"
Now, therefore, l. N. o. Murphy, governor OF
Arizona, in accordance with the worthy senti-
ment in the above resolution, which was adopt
ed, do hereby recommend that Columbus Day
October 81 1S92-that date 4ving been selected
on account OF calendar differences-be observed
as general public school holiday Throughout
Arizona; that business be suspended and civil
and military organizations take part in cele
brating that day: 1t is Wise thus to make con

There is such a thing as a person or

not the correct policy. AS soon as an

THE FIRST LIE.

The first campaign lie of the season
has been sprung early in the campaign.
1t started in the Solomonville Bulletin
and is being copied by the cheaper class
OF Democratic publications. The asser.
tion is that the Republicans have pulled
down the name of Geo. Cluff, and sub
stituted that Of a man by the name of
Geo. Clough. Whether there is, or is
not party in the territory by the name
OF Cloug b, The REPUBLICAN, is unable
to say. Geo. Cluff, however, is the reg
ular nominee of the Republican Terri

the due course OF time. A few Repub-
lican papers, though, by mistake
have misspelled Mr.. Cuffs name, and
that is all there is to the attempted

1t must be a mighty weak ticket that
has to be bolstered up by such trifiing,
and shiftless attempts at misrepresen-

class OF argument, for themselves.
