that was the most irritating to the
silver men was where he said {:
'the wOrking-men are appealing to
Congress for bread, and the silver
men are Offering them not a stone
but dynamite, and instead of a
serpent a whole bundle of them--a
boa constructor, rattle snake, and
a copperhead, all rolled into one

1t is plain to be seen that the
speeches in the House are for
home consumption. Since the
first day there has not been a quo
rum present, and the same con-
dition is expected to continue dur
ing the fourteen days the debate is

and if the votes were taken now
instead of at the close of the de-
bate the result would be the same.

no bill would be reported from the

Representative Breckenridge, of

when she was. seventeen years old,

the father, and that after his wife's

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From Our Regular Correspondent.
WASHINGTON, Aug t, 1898.

WAsHINGTON, Aug +, 1898.
Democrats in Congress do not
take kindly to Mr.. Cleveland's de-
parture. They do not hesitate to
say that it was as much his duty
to stay here and help his party
reach a decision on the silver ques-
ton as it is the duty of members
of Congress to stay. Before leav-
ing Mr.. Cleveland spoke his mind
freely to several prominent MEM
bers of his party. He told them
among other things, that unless
something unexpected occurred to
make him change his mind he did
not intend making any more APP
pointments until congress had act
ed on the silver question, and that
he did not intend to stay in Wash
ington to listen to the men who
are more anxious to get few APP
pOintments for their friends than
to relieve the financial distress of
the country.
Aside from Mr.. Cleveland's dis
gust at the reception given his
message by his party in Congress,
his bad health and his natural de-
sire to be near his wife just now,
there was another weighty reason
for his departure, which can be
fully appreciated by every proud
man. From the time he arrived
until his departure, he was almost
completely ignored by the senators
of his party, less than half dozen
Of them having paid him the cOur-
tesy of even a formal call. This was

ed. Those senators whom he saw
carried him no balm for his wound
ed pride, as they were practical
w unanimous in the belief that it
will be impossible to get a bill
for the repeal of sthe silver Law
through the Senate, unless it en-
bodies substitute that meets thu
approval of the conservative silver
men in that body. Truly Mr.. Cleve

SHORT STOPS.
What the People are Saying.

The people will never give their
consent to leasing San Pedro park
to a private corporation, even if
the city had the authority to do so.
Every corporation that has
asked franchises and rights from
the city has done 50 on plan that
their enterprise was for the bene-
fit of the public at large; and the
result has been that corporate
greed" has become a public foe.
We have given away our streets
to electric railways, until there are
few avenues left for the private
citizen; our water works and cleo
trio light companies have become
the arrogant OppressOrs of the
people, until thousands of our tax
payers are longing for relief.
\ proposition to have the city
turn over it's public park to any
incorporated company is the
latest edition of corporate greed"
The people would not consent to
have this park turned into Cos
pei tent, even if it were the only
way to secure a ticket to the halls
of paradise.
The city foolishly spent four
thousand dollars for a convention
pavilion in the park, and to erect
this useless and unsightly shed,
several noble trees had to be felled.
1t was a shameless exercise of
municipal license.
Krisch's hall was paid for by the
city to hold the Hogg convention.
The San Pedro pavilion was con-
demned as unsuitable for polit-
-ical convention. See what the
people have had to pay for very
DOOR brand of Texas Democracy.
Experience has shown that the
leasing or renting of the San Pedro
park for private uses has brought
that beautiful park into disrepute.
Let the park be turned over to the
people.

NEW BEDFORD. Mass. june N.-At
the opening of the Borden trial this
morning District Attorney knowlton re.
sumed his argument in behalf Of the
commonwealth. He addressed himself
to the motive for the murder. He
pointed out the enmity of Lizzie toward
her stepmother as sufficient motive
for her murder. and said her killing ne
cessitated the killing Of her father. a
stern man who knew of the enmity and
loved his dead wife. The only way for
Lizzie to possibly escape punishment lay
in killing her father The theory was
the only one which would consistently
account for the double murder taking
place in a period of an hour and half
between the acts. The speaker contin-
ued. arguing that the silk dress pro-
duced by the defendant was not the
dress worn at the time of the murder
The two versions of the burning of de-
PENDANTS dress were irreconcilable. He
discussed the defendants conduct since
the murder and declared that the story
Of the quarrel. told by Matron Regan
and afterward denied by her. about the
quarrel between the Borden sisters. was
true. He said the production of the
hatchet was no part of the governments
case. and closed with an eloquent appeal
to the jury.
The court then took recess. On re-
assembling the defendant was given an
opportunity To speak. She said: Il am
innocent. but | will leave my case in
your hands and with my counsel" JUS
tiee Dewey then charged the jury. He
defined the different degrees of murder.
stated that the presumption of innocence
was increased by defendants character
and that there must be a real and ope-
rative motive
Up. m.-The jury has acquitted Lizzie
lBorden of murder. after being out one
hour and twenty minutes.
