MR COWDEN.

A Washington dispatch in Wednes-
days REGISTER reciting the charges
made against the conduct of the Wheel
ing postofice did Postmaster w. J. w.
CowDEN injustice. That the charges
mentioned are on record is true,
but they were not made against
Mr.. CowDEN, personally. That they
occurred under his regime accounts for
the mistake. Mr. CowDEN, himself, has
never been accused Of "tampering with
the mails" so far as the REGISTER
knows; though he was charged
with discrimination against Democratic
journals in transmitting political news
paper supplements during the late
national campaign, This may or may
not have been Mr.. CowDEN's fault, but
that it was chargeable to the Office I'M
der his administration is beyond ques-
tion.
These charges coupled with those Of
the same character, which were the out
growth Of the HARRY HoUSEE robber-
les aud tamperng with the mail for
political purposes, LED to the error and
Injustice TO Mr.. CowDEN, who was not
only not personally responsible, but was
active in the endeavor to discover the
guilty member of his force.

PARKERsBURG, w. VA, December S.
Coroner Beckwith. who had charge
Of the remains of VIM. A. Jones, the
unfortunate clerk of the Harry d.
Knox, who was killed by Roger Seffens,
Jr., while attempting to force an en-
trance into the latter's house, In re-
spouse to telegram from B. G. Was
don, OF Washington, D. c., half-brother
OF the deceased, sent the body under
escort of Chief Of Police Heaton this
morning to Wilson, n, c., the home of
Mr.. Hickey Jones, father of the dead
man.
The corOner's jury returned verdict
this morning that wv A. Jones came
TO MS death from divers wounds on mis-
head Inflicted with dubbed shotgun
In the hands Of Roger Seffens, Jr.,
WhlIe he, the said Jones, was attempt
ing TO enter by force, the dwelling
house OF said Rogers Seffens, Jr., in the
night time, on the 9th, of December.
1893, while under the Authorization that
his mother vas In sale house That
Jones was an exemplary 1opnp man
ETC., bnt was victim OF EPILEPSY and
was at the time suffering from ON
porary insanity superinduced by apileL
tic mania, and not maliciOusly bent on
crime"
The removal of the poor victim
directly after receiving his terrible
wounds and surgical treatment, to this
city over rough, billy roads, and his
death while en- route, together with the
refusal of Seffens to permit him to be
kept in his house, has caused great
deal of indignation throughout the city.
Comment is strong and emphatic and
there are many who believe that the
man might have recovered had he been
permitted to remain where he received
his hurts and received proper treat
ment.

The partisan stack of Republicans 10
thu Senate on the President for his
stand i'm the Hawaiian matter is so ma
licious. unjust aud untruthful that 1t
has recoiled with force against its
authors. Senator DoLPH receives
richly deserved caStigstion at the hands
Of the Chicago Herald for his venomous
and grossly insulting attack upon Mr..
CLEVELAND, the candor Of whose posi-
zion. saws the Herald, and his manifest
adhesion TO strictly constitutional prin-
ciples in the contention should have
madeitimposslble. Mr.. DOLPHin effect
charges the President with falsehoOd In
his message. he assumes that
BLoUNr's report was partisan and was
meant to be so, when Mr.. CLEVELAND
afirms that BLoUNT's Instructions were
TO be impartial The records will con
firm the message. Mr.. DOLPH assumes
thatin addition to partisan instructions,
Mr. BLOUST's course at Honolulu was
such as TO make his finding CT pdTte.
The report itself shows that the special
commissioner sought testimony in the
very heart Of the conspiratOrs and that
il is chiefly on1their testimony that he
based his finding.
Mr.. DOLPH prefers, he says. STE
VEINS, THURsToN and the leaders Of the
revolution as witnesses TO Mr. BLoUNT.
With inexplieable dullness he forgets,
or with malicious perversity he ignores

the fact that BLoUNT enabled STEVENS
and the leaders of the conspiracy to
state each his own story, and that each
is represented in the Blount report in
his own way. II Mr.. DoLPH will read
the Blount report be cannot explain
away the facts that STEVENS and the
leaders of the conspiracy present there.
1t is they who by official record and
concurrent acknowledgment show that
the revolution was accomplished by the
| aid of our naval forces.
Mr.. THURsToN has said all he wished
to say on every occasion, but he. has not
succeeded in overturniDR a substantial
element In BLoUNT's report.
Mr.. DoLPH carried his rancor farther.
He insinuated that the President in
tended to use unconstitutional methods
to undo the work of STEVENS. 1t is
only rabid partisan, insensble to the
obligations of patriotism, that would
asperse the motives of a sworn official
Of the country without jot of evidence
on which so rest his charge. Mr.
CLEVELAND cannot use the navy or
army of the United States for aggres-
sion without consent Of Congress, and
he explicitly declared in his message
that before taking any further step at
Hawaii he would lay before Congress all
information necessary to an under
standing OF the status there.
The President could say no more than
this. The Herald says:
He Senator Dolph admitted before the
close of his unpatriotic speech the truth
that constitutes his animus. He wants the
leperous islands annexed. He wants a few
more offices to fill with hack politicians
He desires to add to the enormous taxes of
the country for a feet and au army to hold
the leperous islands should we complete
our unlawful interference in the govern
ment Of that country. II is true that
every commercial advantage to be had by
any nation at Hawaii we enjoy HUw with
no responsibility for its domeStics politics,
which present the most complicated prob
lem that can be conceived. Mr. Dolph can
not point out TO the Intelligence and right
reason of the American people anv further
gain for US at those islands. Yet for the
sake OF few more offices he would put the
nation to this trouble and expense. To
promote this unworthy end he has at
tackled the President with a virulence dis
creditaOle TO a Senator and with reck-
lessnesS inconsistent with respect Tor
American national honor.

n
Mr.. A. Q. M0NHAM, Of the Johns
town pa steel works, she largest
street railway rail manufacturing plant
in the United States, employing ordi-
parily ., 900 men, favors the passage Of
the Wilson tariff bill. But-a0d listen,
70 AlcKipleyites-he thinks it is weak
measure because be thinks it savors too
mucb Of protection and does not 60 far
enough toward free trade! Under free
trade he believes American steel manu-
fscturers could control the markets Of
the world. He said:
"Forty years Of protection has not re
shifted in giving labor any fair share or that
ygesIfh which labor has produced, and the
heaviest reductions ia labor have occurred
during the last few years, which nave been
wears of the heaviest relative protection
this country has ever seen.
