former trials che jury disagreed.
When the last jury fiisd into the court
room Let's wore confident air. When
tue toremen pronounced the word
gullty, he WAS apparently surprised.
Judge Hudspeth lost no time in pro-
nouncIng sentence In which he commen-
mad sQuandered the illgotten gains Ia
riotous living. Letts listened to the
words Of the judge with great exhibition
OF nerve and left the courtroom for the
Jail with the same calm demeanor which
distinguished his conduct during the
trial; This morning a NEWS reporter
saw him In company with Lawyer Klink,
who 50 ably defended him, and Let's
repudiated the statement that he is a
gambler and dissolute man.
i never attended, he said race
tracks or associated with immoral
women either before or after my mar
riags. I am entirely innocent of this
charge, and were 1t not that / am poor
man would appeal from tne verdict"
Lawyer klink observed that the yer :
dict was surprise to him. He said that
the Pennsylvsnia Railroad Company
was too strong for his client. and had
made him scapegoat "They have laid
upon Let's the iniqulty of that scoundreI
Jackson"
Mr.. Klink denied that he Is going to
appeal The case. Let's, he said, mad no
money to pay for the stenographers' fees
and the scost of having the case printed,
which. taken together, would amount to
perhaps $500.

Night Session.
WASHINGTON, d c., Oct. IA, 1898. Both
of the New JERSEY Senators were in the

unconditional repeal. Notwithstanding
the remarkable display of physical
endurance, they looked comparative
bright and fresh and full OF determination
and hope of finally passing the Repeal
bill

associates by his wonderful staying
powers He was probably the only
member OF the Senate who went through
the first engagement from start to finish
without closing his eyes. His colleague,
Senator Mcpherson, was not far behind

robust health, he also remained awake for
more than thirty hours.
It was not until this morning, about
l2:3O, that the senior Senator sank down
upon sofa in the Senate chamber and
snatched few winks OF sleep. After he
had slumbered short while page came

The Democratic convention to nomi-
nate candidate for Sheriff aud Coroner
met this afternoon at the headquarters
of the County Committee. on Grove
street. As early as one o'clock the dele
gates began to arrive In the nefghbor.
hood of the headquarters and discussed
the situation.
Phil Muldoon's Indian Kept his ear
wide open to catch anything that might
be circulating arouni as to delegates.
About the only name he heard was that
of Stanton. He pricked mis- ears
up sharply at rumor which
came from exactly where no one could
tell, that there was a conference held last
night between the leaders of the party ut
which the necessity OF nominating some
other candidate than Mr.. Stanton was
discussed.
1t was declared thatit was stated at the
conference that Colonel Toffey would beat
Mr.. stanton and some one else should be
nominated. The Indians ears soon went
down. however. for az the leaders arrived
they all with one accord denied that any
such conference took place.
THE FIRST TO ARRIVE
Among the first on the scene was As.
semblyman Zsller and c. Crawley from
Gutenberg. They knew of no other
candidate than Stanton. Andy Boyle
brought in the same report for the
Seventh and Harry Page, the editor
of the Bd1Jonnc Herald, said there was
no opposition to Stanton from that end
OF the convention.
Editor Seide and ex-Mayor Grassmau
from Aoboken made the same report.
FIRST SIGNS OF STANTON OPPOSITION.
1t was when Judge Kilnmerly. Street
Commissioner Tumulty and the Third
district delegates began to STRIVE that
any opposition was heard. These eeutle-
men declared for James Hennessey as a
candidate.
Outside of Kelly Bros. saloon Judge
kirumerly had a lot of his First district
friends around him. Pat Roach, S. Ross
Hnd other we'll known men from the
Third district were Whispering among
ench other. One of the First district
delegates told u NEWS reporter that they
would stick to Frank and meant to

forbidden one of his canons to attend q

Mr.. Cleveland is too great a man to
come down to 81 told you So" but it
is striking coincidence that some of
his message contains the very wording
of that message which he sent to
congress in December eight years ago,
foretelling the very disaster that has
come to pass, if the country persisted
in its silver course. In that message
eight years ago, speaking of the
monthly coinage of two million dollars
a month of he said:
Continued long enough, this opera
ton will result in the substitution of
silver for all the gold the government
owns. The proportion of silver and its
certificates received by the government
(custom dues) will probably increase as
time goes on, for the reason that the
nearer the period approaches when it
will be obliged to offer silver in payment
of it's Obligations, the greater inducement
there will be to hoard gold against
depreciation in the value of silver, or for
the purpose of specializing. When the
time comes that gold has been withdrawn
Srom circulation, then will be apparent
the difference between the real value of
the silver dollar and dollar in gold,
and the two coins will part company
Notwithstanding this warning the
Sherman bill was passed in 1890, and
Republicans and silver Democrats
alike fouted the prophecy of Mr..
Cleveland, the realization of which is
now found in this terrible financial
strain accompanied by closed. factories,
unemployed workmen and all other
attendants of a panic.

IN DEFENSE OF THE PRESI
DENT.
Burlington News. |


While many of the State exchanges
are pitching into" Mr.. Cleveland
with an apparent relish, we as yet have
seen no cause to criticize him. He
can't make laws, and when this writer
"gets on" anything it will be on
congressman. We notice another
thing, too, that the papers that find
most fault with Mr.. Cleveland are the
same men who fought his nomination.
Now they raise the old chestnut, al
told you So" All this rant and rot
about "gold bugs is silly, it's mean,
it's leading to anarchism at a rapid
gait. This country is one, and when
you put it into the head of the man
who tolls that the man who employs
him is his oppressor, you put breach
between the laborer and his only de-
pendence to earn bread. You may
run it out on any line you want to,
but it comes back to this, and with all
due respect to older heads in
journalism, we think some have said
too much already, and it's only a
matter OF time when they will " take
water as they have done before, and
"eat crow"

First it takes up orchards and de-
scribes the culture of all tree fruits,
methods of budding and grating,
artificial culture, best varieties, &c.
Small fruits receive full attention,
berries, grapes, &c., coming in for a
large share. Packing and shipping Of
all the fruits are treated of, the bes
methods being given. The bulletin
will fill over hundred pages and will
be one of the most important yet sent
out by the station. Fruit culture i:

THE TIMES CONTRASTED.

Sadly mourns the Pickens County,
(Ga.,) Herald, thusly:
1t does look as if the more progress
i've we get the harder the times are.
We can hear our parents talk of times
when all the corn was raised at home !;
each farmer killed enough meat to do
him wheat was raised to supply the
needs OF the family, small patch OF
cotton was raised, and it was J." finger
picked by the flreside by the family
there being no such thing as a
cotton gin. Looms, spinning wheels
and cards were articles to be found in
every home. The farmer did not
have to depend on the merchant for
his supplies but had plenty. There
was no organization needed to unite
the different classes. They didn't
need it. But railroads have been built,
telegraph wires thread the country,
factories make the cloth cheaper than
it can be made at home and SO
progress goes marching on. We don't
know as progress is responsible for the
condition of affairs which exist, but
if it is we say darn progress.

Review Of Reviews for August.

The Review Of Reuie,cs for August has for
one OF it's features of vital interest, brief
communications from twelve prominent
professors of political economy and f.
nance upon the present monetary situa-
ton. The letters were written in re-
spouse to the Editors request for the
opinion of these gentlemen upon the best
course for Congress to pursue in theextra
session regarding silver. The twelve
writer's are President Francis A. Walker,
OF the Massachusetts Institute of Tech
nology; Prof. William W. Folwell, of the
University of Minnesota; Prof. F. W.
Taussing, of Harvard University; Chan
cellor James 81. Garfield, of the University
OF Nebraska; Professors Seligman and
Richmond Mayo-Smith, of Columbia
College, New York; Prof. Henry c.
Adams, of the Michigan University; DR..
Sidney Sherwood, of the Johns Hopkins
University; Chancellor Rogers, of the
Northwestern University; Prof. J. Macy,
of Iowa College; Prof. John R. Commons,
OF the Indiana State University, and
Dean Judson, of the Chicago University.
1t happens that every one of these gentle
men distinctly declares for theimmediate
repeal of the Sherman Silver Purchase
act. Beyond this their points of view
are quite various, and their discussion is
extremely interesting. No recent con-
tribution to the discussion of monetary
problems is SO pithy and compact as this
group OF letters from well-known econ
Omic thinkers.

VANCE HAS NOT CHANGED.

1t is not true that Senator Vance
has changed his position or his
opinions, and what there is in his
recent letters to give special comfort to
Third partytes now more than there
has always been in the man and his
principles, we can not understand.
He is no truer to truth and the people
now than he was when so many
ignorant and vicious men abused and
lraduced him. He is now just what
he has ever been, a gentleman, true to
his friends, true to himself, true to his
pledges and promises and loyal to his
party and his country. This is what
Senator Vance is; there is nothing
low, sordid, mean, deceitful or un-
manly about him. He never occupies
an equivocal position on any question.
There is never any trouble to find
where he stands. He is as much above
the men who SO lately vilified him as
the lion is superior to cur. 1t is true
that many good men differ with him
as to repeal the Sherman Act, no lens
voIens, but that is a matter of practi-
cal judgment. 1t may be in the
future that God may see fit to cloud
the brilliant and steady genius OF
Senator Vance, but his tongue will
never become false nor his heart grow
