Hugh Dempsey's Attorneys
Make Application for a
New Trial.
A Buffalo Man Robbed Of
$4,000 by a Woman in
Chicago.

PITTsBURG, Jan. 24.-Robert Beatty,
who is charged with being an accom-
plice of Hugh f. Dempsey in the at
tempt to close down the Homestead
Steel works during the strike by ad
ministering poison to the non-uniOn
workmen, was placed on trial in the
criminal court this morning. Beatty, it
will be remembered, was arrested in
Louisville, and brought back here on
eXtradition papers after hard
battle. The indictments against
Beatty are the same as those
upon which Dempsey was tried.
At the opening of tile case, the defense
protested against the right of the COM
monweaIth to stand aside jurors with
out cause and objected to the system Of
the ''king's jury; Judge Stowe said he
knew of no such institution as the
''king's jury" and agreed with Judge
Gibson III supreme court that the com
monwealth would have no chance in
times of great public excitement in con-
victing any one if the right to stand
jurors aside W eredenied. The jury was
then selected without difficulty and the
case was formally opened.
The entire afternoon session of the
court was occupied by Capt. Brock i'll
reading to the jury the testimony of the
physicians, patients and experts given
in the trial of Hugh f. Dempsey to
show that poison had been used. This
was done to save time. and The only wit
neSses to be examined by the prOsecu-
ton will be Gallagher, Davidson, Crit
fifth and such others who may know
something in regard to the Beatty case
who were not examined in the Dempsey
trial. The reading of this testimony
was not quite complete when court adj
journed until tomorrow.
Attorneys Marshall, Brennan and
Potter today filed the application for
new trial of Hugh f. Dempsey, con-
vcted of poisoning Homestead steel
workers. The reasons given include the
usual alleged errors of the court, etc,
and in conclusion say material evidence
has been discovered showing mlseOu-
duct OF certain jurors.

The Skeptical Aunt-What does he do,
ONE LEAK TO STOP.

The Federal Elections Law Is a
DelusiOn and Danger.
New York World
In the enormous urgent deficiency
bill'' to be reported to the house this
week-calling for some $4,000, 600
there is one item that ought never to
appear again.
Some 100000, it is announced, will
be required to meet deficiencies in the
department of justice; and Republican
newspaper explains that "in the year of
presidential election the expenditures
in the department of justice are neceS-
sarily somewhat larger than in other
years."
just SO-Davenportism!
The federal election law is delusiOn
and danger. 1t does no good. 1t holds
the potency of much evil. The states
are entirely competent to manage their
own elections, and 1t is their right so
to do.
One of the first acts of the Democratic
congress and administration should be
to wipe out the germ of the force bill.

ment. The object of the measure is to
decrease the expense of these branches
of the service without lmpairing their

THERE is nothing at all improbable
in this story that eX-President HAYES
voted for CLEVELAND. 1t is likely that
he felt the force Of the changes in his
own and the Democratic party which
has been 50 powerful in driving from
the one into the other those men who
believe in sincerity in politics, and who
see in the domination of the men who
control that party evidence of deep
seated and incurable decay. The lurch
taken in '88 toward paternalism, too,
had its effect. Probably the contempt
nous disregard by the leaders of his
party of his orders and efforts to keep
the civil service from the spolIsman's
hands had something to do with the
gradual looseuing of the ties of party
and strengthened those which drew him
to Mr.. CLEVELAND.

who too often find their way into legis-

Sioux City Journal, as follows:
Senator Crawford, of Kingsbury
county, is opposed to worlds fair APP
preparation in South Dakota for the
reason that an exhibit would cause i'm
migration. which would mean more
people for the state. which would mean
overproduction and consequent lower
prices. 1t is seldom that Western
