Cox HONEY is not to have the united
support of his party in the election to
ill the vacancy in Newport's representa-
tion in the house. it seems. An effort
was made by certain Democrats to run
an independent candidate, and they
were only prevented from doing so by
the gentleman whom they had selected
declining to allow his name to be used.
II is not likely however, that this will
prevent them from getting at the polls
the satisfaction they desire, and Col.
Honey may find that many of his own
party are as much opposed to his elec-
ton as those Of other parties.

FOUR CASES.

Carlyle Harris mas Deen Killed Dy
legal process in New York upon evil
dence that was scarcely better than
purely circumstantial.
It. Thatcher Graves has missed the
gallows merely by a hairs breadth,
brought into imminent peril of his life
by circumstantial evidence solely.
Lizzie Borden was yesterday arraigned
charged with the murder of her father
and stepmother, and SO far as has been
revealed there is not even plausible cir
cumstantial evidence against her.
DIR. Buchanan has been found guilty
Of wife murder by poison, largely upon
circumstantial evidence, and expert
medical evidence that was contradicted
by equally expert medical evidence.
These four cases very strongly en-
phasize one of the fallacies of legal
practice in this country. We are told
that in law an accused person is pre-
sumed to be innocent until he is proven
guilty.
The fact almost invariably is, how
ever, that the moment person is ar
rested for capital crime he is pre-
sumed to be guilty. Upon that pre-
sumption the state proceeds. The dis
trict attorney assumes that the accused
is guilty, and exhausts all the resources
of his acumen and draws upon the state
treasury without stint to justify his be-
lief. He is not an unprejudiced official
who prepares the case for the court, but
he is usually the rankest of partisans,
blind and deaf to everything that tends
to excuse the culprit or justify the
act.
Such trials as the majority of persons
accused of crime are accorded by the
courts bear little resemblance to justice.
There is no attempt made by the courts
to get at the truth, except as it is pre-
pared by the lawyers. The very rules
of procedure and forms of practice
make it impossible in many cases to get
the truth before juries. The official
prosecutor rarely acknowledges that the
innocence of person he is trying to
send to prison or deprive of life has been
established. He contends for convic-
ton. even in the face of the most con-
vincing testimony. He cries for blood
until the court decides against him.
conscientious people, who have care
fully followed the Harris case. dare not
affirm that he was unquestionably
guilty. The man does not live who can
truthfully declare that DIR. Graves kille d
Mrs. Barnaby, if he bases his belief
upon the evidence that convicted him.
Sufficient evidence to warrant a sus-
picion that she is guilty has not yet
been adduced against Lizzie Borden, so
far as the pnblic knows. DIR. Buchanan,
though person who does not appeal to
the sympathies of anybody, may be in
nocent of the awful crime he is charged
with, for all the evidence shows to the
contrary.
Each of these persons has been taken
by the law, kept in prison as long as
the law officers desired. and put upon
the rack of trial for his life. Every
resource of the state has been in each
case employed to bring them to death.
Neither of them had an impartial trial.
The claim that they had is not capable
of being proven.

COLONEL MORRISON say that the tariff
can't be revised unless tax is imposed
on sugar, that to reimpose a tax on

tariff revision is difficult question for

to force his incongruous "horizontal
bill" upon an unwilling congress.

PROBABLY INSANE.
A Down Hearted Man Entertains
the Thought OF Suicide
but is Prevented.

Louis Won KrouSSocZy MiloSich is a
comparative stranger in San Antonio
having arrived here several months ago
in apparently destitute circumstances. He
went to the boarding house of NJ. K.
Quinn on South Flores street, and ar
ranged for taking meals. He also rented
a room opposite the Quinn boarding house
i'm the Leal house.
Yesterday, being in debt, he became
downhearted and went to CUBAN and
handed the latter his will for all he pos
SesSed. also an account he owed AMOUNT
ing to but $40. The will was for 5000.
He wrote and presented with the will a
very touching letter to Mr. Gunn in
which he stated that the world was down
on him and that after 6 O'Clock
he would be no more. Mr.. Quinn was
somewhat exc t ID over the matter but
knew not what steps to take to aid in saw
ing the unfortunate mans life.
At9 o'clock in the evening, however,
the supposed dead man turned up and ate
lunch as usual. He was raying mad and
talked for an hour in a very strange and
foolish manner. Mounted officers were
sent for, and soon Officers Schumacher and
Petersen were at hand, and the insane
man was locked up in the city prison.
This morning a charge of lunacy was
preferred against him. He stated to the
recorder this morning that he intended
to Kill himself because he was in love
with young lady in New York and had
lost track OF her.
