THE BORDEN CASE.
Lizzie Borden's Hearing on the
Charge of Murder Postponed
Till Thursday.
The Prisoner Shows No Sign Of
Worry, and Is Preparing to
Fight Hard for Liberty.

FALL RIVER, Mass, Aug. 22.-Miss
Lizzie Borden arrived here this morn
ing from Taunton Jail, to begin her
murder this afternoon, but later
the case was adjourned until
Thursday. The adjournment was
granted ON the ground that
some things used as evidence in the
case are wanting at the present time.
They are the clothing and various parts
of the furnishings of the rooms where
the murders occurred. They are now
in the hands of experts, and will not be
here tomorrow nor next day, nor prob
ably the day following.
Miss Borden did not show trace of
suffering and did not in any degree
mind the attention she was attracting.
1t is reported that she has made an as
signment of all personal property to her
counsel, with instructions to spare no
expense in gaining her freedom. Miss
Emma Borden has also given orders to
spare nothing in the way of labor and
expense.
aPITTsBURG, Aug. ga morning
newspaper prints long letter. under a
sensational headline, purporting to be
from an anonymous writer, who claims
he,is in possession of the secret of the
Fall River murder mystery. The
writer says he knows the party who took
the lives of Mr.. and Mrs. Borden, but,
through fear of death, he cannot make
public the name of their murderer. He
also says the murderer of the Bordens
has been implicated in fifteen murders,
and that his home is in st. Louis. He
says Miss Borden is entirely innocent of
the murder Of her parents. The police
officials here do not place much ere
denee in the story.

BEN'S BLUFF CALLED.
The New State Republican Com
mittee Has Harrison In q
Corner.
He Will Be Given a Chance to
Carry the State All by His
Lonely.

NEW YORK, Aug. 22.-The Herald
says: Close friends of Mr.. Harrison
having said he could carry the state
alone and unaided, the Republican
state committee has decided to give him
fair and square chance to do it. 1t
has been decided by Chairman
Brookheld and Executive Chairman
Hackett to ask the president,
when he has completed his stay
at Loon lake, to undertake
speech-makins tour of this state. The
subject was originally mentioned by
Senator HiScock, who has become con-
WINGED that something of an extraordi-
nary character must be done in order
to carry the state Mr. Hiscock urged
1t so strongly that it finally found favor
with the state committee, and the only
thing now necessary to make it an as
sured fact is the consent of Mr.. Har-
riSon.
The state committee laid the plan be-
fore the president, but no reply has yet
been received from him. Ii he answers
III the affirmative a special train will be
chartered for the first week in Septem-
Der, and 4 schedule will be made out
for as much of the state as can be coy-
cred in week.

he carried in 1884. Mr.. CLEVELAND will
have 2S0 votes, or Z more than enough
to elect him.
BARON HIRsCH.

1t it be true, as reported. that Baron
HIRscH is to honor this country with a
visit, he should be royalty received and
welcomed. No man in all the old world
deserves better at the hands of the
children of this new world, where man.
hood is esteemed at its true worth,
whether it wears a title or workman's
blouse.
Baron HIRsCH is the foremost philan-
thropist of recent times. He gives his
millions by the tens to the oppressed of
his own race and to the unfortunate of
all races. The failure of his Argen-
tine colonization scheme for the
prosecuted Russian Jews is in no
wise reflection OH him nor due
to any. stint in his generosity.
1t was the grandest dream of well-doing
which this selfish, calloused age has in
spired; too good, as the saying goes, and
as practical trial has proved, to come
true. And in his vast projects of philan-
thropF there Is nothing OF the toady
and self advertiser about Baron
HIRSCH. His is not the Carnegian order
Of beHevOlence. Nor, perhaps, is his
private life of an austere circnmspection
III keeping with his character as pub
lie benefactor. He is veritable Jolly
good fellow" and-crime of crimes-a
boon comrade of Ii. r. III. of Wales.
The French call him the man of his
time, Phomme du steele. Despite the
danger that turks in the concentration
of vast wealth in one mans hands, the
world is the better for Baron HIRsCH
being in it. If all capitalists were like
him, they would do to run OH the Alli-
ance ticket.

THE SIN OF 1T.

What is this thing called protection?
That depends. The word is one of the
good ones of our language. 1t touches
the sentimental side of our natures. 1t
rouses the sense of chivalry and charity.
1t stirs thoughts Of Innocence defended.
helplessness shielded, virtue guarded.
1t is to language what gold is to the
metals, noble. The mothers care, the
fathers watchfulness, the patriots sac
rifice, are instances of protection.
Every good cause has always been
used as cloak for evil deeds; it is the
cashier who is a pillar in his church
who steals the funds; the wolf got into
the fold because he had sleeps pelt
on. So our good words are stolen to
cover bad schemes. Protection ever
implies generosity, but the word has
covered the cfuelest greed and selfish
ness. 1t has been the lure of the pro-
motors of swindling life insurance. 1t
is the vile by which organized greed
has fastened Oh this nation system OF
industrial slavery.

COMPOUNDING FELONY.
The Carnegie Company Resorts to
Something Very Much in
That Line.
Arrested Men Promised Immunity
if They Would Consent to
Resume Work.

HOMESTEAD, Aug. 22.-Everything is
quiet here. Hugh Ross, of the Home
stead advisory committee, said today
that letters could be produced from the
Carnegie Steel company asking their
old men to return to work, and that in
some of these cases the men who were
thus solicited had previously been
served with warrants by the company's
attorney of the charge of riot. etc. AS
the men so charged were promised i'm
munIty by the company if they would
return Mr.. Ross thought this action
ON the part OF the Carnegie firm looked
very much like compromising a felony,
and said that the courts might be asked
to decide the question. Harry Becker
ton. one of the Homestead strikers ar
rested for the riot. was given an alder
manic hearing today and held for court
in $1,000 bail.
PITTsBURG, Aug. 22.-There is strong
probability of a strike among 5000
Monengahela valley miners. Thesoper-
atorS will meet tomorrow to formulate q
demand for reduction of half a cent
per bushel, which they will then present
to the miners. They claim that the
railroad operators pay about three cents
for the same work for which the river
operators have to pay three and half
cents, and they are thus deprived of
legitimate trade. They do not expect
to win without struggle, but are will
ing to risk a strike.

NEWARK, N. j.. Aug. 22.-The excur.
sion steamer Magenta had 500 peoplei
aboard when it started on its last trip to
Coney Island from its dock in this city
at 7:30 last evening. When opposite
Staten Island, fire was discovered II
one of the staterooms on the main deck,
where some one had carelessly thrown
a lighted cigar in the bed. The in
fiammable matter was soon abIaze, and
clouds Of dense smoke enveloped the
entire boat. The passengers were panic
stricken and rushed franticaily to the
top of the boat. where they called
loudly for help.
The boat was stopped and the whistle
blown fer assistance. This, with the
ringing of the bell. added to the con-
fusion, ana the deck hands had all they
could do to keep the people ftom jump
ing overheard. There was a lively
scramble for the life preservers, the
men snatching them from the hands of
women and children. For fifteen min
utes the greatest excitement prevailed,
but finally the flames were extinguished
and the steamer proceeded OH its way.

FIGURING on NOVEMBER.

In figuring on November results it is
we'll not to overlook the fact that Mr..
CLEVELAND can spare any one of sew
eral OF the states he carried in 1854 and
Still be elected our next president. If,
for instance. he holds the other states
he carried in 1884, he can afford to lose
West Virginia or Connecticut or Flor
ida OF Delaware. There is. of course,
small possibility of his losing any one
of these states, but it is fact to be
considered that he could spare any one
OF them from his vote of 1884 and still
win the victory next November. This
is rather peculiar circumstance
when we take into consideration the
fact that the total representation in the
electoral college has been materially in
creased since 1884 by the admission of
new states. Conceding all these new
states to HARRISON (and in the case of
Montana. at least, the concession will be
con;radicted at the polIs), and CIV
ing CLEVELAND only the states he
carried in 1884, the latter will
still have majority of IN the cleo
toral college. Add to this majority of 8

would give margin sufficient to cover

that or less number of electoral votes.
This condition of affairs is due to the
fact that the states carried by CLEvE-

votes under the new apportionment, as

kNUTE NELSON believed on the 30th

that he might vote his personal judg-

What does Mir. DAVIS and that co,,-

day believes in giving ''our people-the
toiling masseS-cheaper food, cheaper
fuel, cheaper clothing and cheaper
shelter, cheaper because released from
heavy and unnecessary bondage of high

from party fealty every Republican IN

A RAILROAD ATTORNE z GEN.
ERAL.

Not only have the Republicans put I'D
railroad attorney for governor, but
they have picked out for the very serv-
iceable Office of attorney general man
who, as the assistant of the present in
cnmbent, proved to the grain and rail-
road combination how extremely useful
he could be to them. 1t was Assistant
Attorney General CHILDs who repre-
scented the state in the wheat investiga-
ton last winter. 1t was he who mixed
the whitewash which tire majority of
the commission spread over the COM
7bination.
Some things were proven conclusiveIy
and explained unsatisfactory. One was
that over 600, 900 bushels of wheat had
been clandestinely shipped out of the
elevators without inspection or report.
Some of this was leverage" that is.
wheat stolen from farmers or shippers
by false weights; some was bin-burnt
and worthless, except for shipping East,
and some No. hard went East as
screenings. MIR. CHILDs finds that the
averages were trf1ing, an ounce Or so to
bushel in the whole, and that the ele-
vator companies did very handsome
thing in shipping east the bin-burnt
wheat without letting the inspectors
know anything aboutit.
Another thing that was made clear
enough before the whitewash was put
Oh was that combine of elevators does
exist; that it fixes the price to be paid
for grain in this state; that one man is
employed to send out the list prices,
and still CHILDS finds that there is no
proof whatever of conspiracy to con-
troll prices.
Another thing that was shown was
that the railroads stand in with the ele-
yatOrS to maintain the list prices fixed
by the latter. Everybody knew they
do, and letters and orders proving 1t
were in evidence; and yet Mr.. CHlLps
finds for the majority of the commits
sion that 1.-THE fact has been established
by such weight Of evidence as would
warrant this commission in reporting as
one of its findings" Mr.. CHILDs has
shown himself very useful man, and
the railroads and elevators owe it to
themselves and their interests to secure
his election by all honorable means.
