COnt0unDt Of Court,

Berlin special: There was a most ex-
citing scene In Berlin during the trial OF
Rector Ablwardt. accused ofaibeling Man
ufc ccturer Lowee and the officials OF the
Prussian War Office. At the conclusion OF
the evidence OF Rector Ablwardt. Herr
Hertwig proposed fifteen new motions con-
corning the introduction of additional evil
dence to establish the charges OF offcial in
competency and corruption. The court re-
jected all the motions remarking that they
were offered only with the object OF fradu-
1ently delaying the proceedings. Herr
Hertwig appeared both Indignant and SUR
priscd at this expression OF the court.
"Under these circumstances" he exclaim-
cd, II cannot further defend Ahlwardt,
whom the court has already conde mned be-
fore hearing With these words Herr
Hertwig took his hat and left the court
room. The dramatic action OF the advo-
cate caused u profound sensation. Many
OF those present arose and there were loud
murmers Of disapproval, evidently intend
ed for the court. Order being restored the
court sentenced Herr aertwiy to pay fne
of 100 marks. Ahlwardt then proceeded to
act eS his own advocate.

Mr.. Cleveland's slistsks.

With an assumption OF superior

he is disgusted with DemocratIc
office-seekers. There Is no reason Of

matters ut this time. In order u

mands Of the faithful the President.
elect has left town and fed to q place.
where he fondly hopes to be out of
the reach of those who elected him.
Mr.. Cleveland should not IN too
severe upon the Demecratic bret ethfens
who want Offices. He should Mar IN
mind the famous axiom that defines
Democracy as an organized appe-
tite;" and he should recollect that
most Of bis own time for some years

thereof. Mr. IlrS Sc.an.I = ~rofd al

1t will be remembered that eight
years ago Mr.. Cleveland solennly an
nounced that second terms for Presi-
dents were pernicious and full OF dan
ger to the republic. Yet when 1883
came he was found using the Federal
machine for all it was worth to pro-
cure his own nomination for second
term; and when the people refused to
have him, he at once began to lay
plans for third nomination. It does

1t is true that Mr.. Cleveland has
never been accused of excessive grati-8

fest irrepressiblc zeal in handing
around good things TO the persons to
whose efforts his present success Ii
due. But it would be decidedly more
prudent II he should refrain from
open expressions OF contempt for the
rank and file OF his party because
they are hungry for the spoils The
American people have tolerably
keen perception of hypocrisy.

DEMOCRACY DIVIDED.
PUZZLED As TO THE REVISION
OF THE TARIFF.
Must DO Something More than simply
Repeal the Mckinley I.aw-worss than
Had Politics. Where the Blame for PEN
sl0ns Belongs.
Two Factions.

Two Factions.
1t is very evident that the leaders
OF the Democratic party are divided
into two factions regarding the tariff.
The smaller but more potential ele-
ment, chiefly in the East, composed
OF men like Whitney, Senators Cor
man, Brice, and Mcpherson OF New
Jersey, Gov. Flower. in short, the
element which is in touch with the
business and enterprise Of the coun-
try, is opposed to any general tariff
legislation. Ii they could have their
way they would leave the Mckinley
law very much rs it is. Despite his
professions to the contrary, Mr..
Cleveland Is likely to share the opin-
ions OF this financially powerful ele-
ment and OF the conservatives Of
Wall street, who have always con-
trolled hiEl. The other faction, which
Is much the larger, has convinced it.
self that protective tariff is a great
wrong, and that the mass Of the peo-
pie are hostile to it. Those who
make up this element are the dema-
gogues and the advocates of crude
theories, the solid South Democrat,
who Is hostile TO manufacturing
enterprises because he Is jealous Of
the greater prosperity Of the North,
the general party orRan-grinder in
the West and South, the Congress
men who have been demanding free
silver coinage while all intelligent
business men are against it, and,
above all, that narrow and malignant
type OF Democrat who thinks that to
be Democrat he must oppose every
Republican measure. In Congress
they are the Millses, the l'ynums, the
Blands, the Breckinridges, and the
Jerry Simpsons. Malignant preju-
dice takes the place OF intelligent
conviction in their intellectual make
up. That prejudice has arrayed
them against protection and in favor
Of free trade or revenue tariff.
They have made their constituents
believe in an actual baron tariff
robber and Republican plutocracy
under the Mckinley law. Strange
as it may seem, some OF them believe
this nonsense. They have pledged
themselves to overthrow the Mckin-
ley law. They will do it If they can.
What will he the outcome? There
could be no question II it was only
one of repeating the Mckinley law,
but since it involves the deyising of a
substitute the matter is in grave
doubt. The solid South and the bit
ter demagogues OF the West could
carry all before them If they could
agree upon tariff bill, but they can
not unless they take up some meas
ure like the Mills bill. AS IL stands
the free-traders OF the South and
West have the numbers, but the
Whitneys, the Germans, and the
East have the brains. Uncertainty
is the result, and nothing Is worse
than uncertainty for the business and
industry OF the country. Indian.

enough OF 1t, Some OF IL was fit to eat and

would not eat or complained about their

| infraction Of the rules or improper conduct,
they were punished In various ways. One

| kept confined in this room standing. for
there was no place to sit down. for two or
| thi, room varies from ono to seven or ten
| days. When 4 child was imprisoned in this
| room it was given half q slice OF bread and
| cold water. Three boys, one years old
| and the others IL or IL years. were kept
| confined there for over week, The occa-
! sion for these boys being confined was that
they were suspected Of putting a stone into

boy who was yelling. l was told that Mr.

given for the punishment was that the boy
