THE PANAMA TRIAL.

Almost . Certainty that the Accused
Parties will be Convicted.
PARIS Jan. 1.-THE evidence so far
in the Panama trial is regarded as as
surfing conviction. The report of M.
Flory, the government accountant, con-
tends that the responsibility for the
Panama frauds and deception rests up
on the whole board of Panama directors,
because. having squandered the share
capital, they concealed the real situation
by false statements in order to obtain
subscriptions and protect their own in
terests- NJ. Flory's report leaves no
doubt as to the deliberate character of
the deception practiced upon the pub
lic The public are already beginning
to discuss the sentences that
will be passed upon the De
Lesseps and their associates in the
event of conviction. It is believed that
President Perivier will pronounce a
severe penalty. as from the first he has
exhibited considerable indignation to-
ward the accused. His decisions have
always commanded the respect Of the
people, as well as of the bar.
NJ Pierre Denis, the faithful follower
and defender of Gen. Boulanger. has
some curious revelations" to make
about the panama scandals" He in
tends to publish them in his Memorial

HARRISON'S SYSTEM.

Partisan Appointments Under the 20
publican Administration
The attempt of Mr.. Harrison's adj
ministration, after a vigorous spoils
policy of four years, when every Office
is filed with republicans, to extend
the civil service system SO as to cover
thousands of his partisans whose APP
pointments were made regardless of
fitness, will hardly meet the approval
of the incoming administration. This
attempt to perpetuate men in Office who
will not be in harmony with the pol
icy of the new administration is not in
with the fitness of things.
No one hopes for or expects sudden
changes in those Offices which might
have tendency toward crippling the
service. While the policy of President
eight years ago, in which he
competent officials to serve out
the terms for which they were appoint
ed, disgruntled the Office seekers
and professional politicians, it never
theless met the hearty approval
of the country at large. Under
Mr.. Cleveland's administration when
changes were made in the civil service
everything moved along In the even
tenor of its way. Those who are look
ing for political preferment under the
new regime will no doubt receive due
when the time comes. And
the only regret will be the fact that
there are not offices enough to go

THE PRESIDENT IN HIS PRIME.

The Report That He Is in Falling Health
Denied by Mr.. Wanamaker-'Tfs Not a
Clever Thing to Mako an Invalid of q
Man Bowed Down with Grief.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.-In view of the
statement published that President
Harrison's health was failing and that
he was likely to break down. POST
master-Genera1 Wanamaker said the
report that the president was in fall
ing health must have originated with
some one with little opportunity to
know the truth. The fact is the presi-
dent is in perfect health, and has not
in four years been away from his desk
a single day from personal sickness.
ST would take him to be now
at his very prime, and with the
great business capacity he has
developed and his tireless habits Of
work, he has been able to accomplish
each day twice as much labor as in his
former legal business life. It is not =
clever thing to make an invalid out OF
a man because uncommon griefs are
not laid off at the end of thirty days.
It is quite likely that Stanford univer-
sity is seeking him, 50 are, also, scor:
of other things, but until his work is
completed here, doubt if he will serk
ously think of future occupation"

A PLEA FOR JUSTICE.


Gail Hamilton's Bitter ArraigmeBt a
Glsdstone-The Murder OF Florence
Maybrtck, BY Slow Torture In Wokisg
Prison. Laid ut the Great Statesman's
DoOr-A Responsibility That Can Not he
Shifted.
BosTON, Jan. 6--Miss Abigail Dodge
Gail Hamilton" has re-opened her bat
teries in the Maybrick case, and last
night published long sensational
letter addressed to Hon. w. E. Glad
stone, the British prime minister.
She says, in part: 81, in the name of
God, arraign you, the head of the Brit
ish government, for the murder of
Florence Maybrick. now dying in the
convict prison at Woking. The home
secretary of the late government who
began the torture; the late prime
minister. who sustained him in it; the
present home secretary, who continues
it-these are all as guilty as you; but
do not know whether they believe in a
God. You believe in God.
ut is therefore because you believe
in God that 1 invoke the witness of AL
mighty God while 1 charge you with
the murder of the innocent woman who
is perishing in Woking prison. We
have been asking justice in the name of
mercy. ask for justice. and for JUS
tice only, and ask it In her own stern
and sacred name.
"You have been personally appealed
to, and you have passed by on the other
side. You have said it was the business
OF the home Office, which would, of
course, do its duty. It is the old pre-
text of Cain. What ground have you
for assuming that the home Office does
its duty?
''We appeal to the home Office and
the home Office asks for new evidence
This cry of new evidence of innocence
IS used to disguise the terrible fact
that there is no evidence of guilt; and
it is unjust, illegal, odious. With all
the wealth of the government at your
disposal, with all the machinery of the
courts and the malice of your prisoners
foes, you could furnish no proof of her
guilt, and you bind her hand and foot
in a living tomb and demand that she
shall produce evidence of her inno-
cence. The British government not only
murders her, but ISLANDERS her. Ru-
NOR is rife that it is resentment of
American Intervention which keeps her
prison door locked. This is a false pre-
text. Her prison doors were locked
for two years before American agita-
ton began. There are rumors that it
is a tone of menace in American inter-
vention which acts against her. The
only menace is in the voice of eternal
justice speaking through the British
conscience
$50 on your cruel way. because you
can. She is alone, and poor, and weak,
and a foreigner. She can lose you no
votes in England. for she has no friends,
no family. Make the sacrifice complete.
But if there be God, who marks and
notes the ways of this world, who hears
the voice of innocent blood crying unto
Him from the ground. it is better to be
the young wife and mother perishing
in Woking prison than the prime min
lister of the government which works
her torture and her slaughter"

She had bought her street gown,

terial for her best evening dress was

as comfortable a wrap as a maiden's
heart need wish. 1t was a deep, full

these capes was their silk Innings.
These were of a lighter contrasting

Now, what she needed was an after
noon gown-one which would not make
her feet uncomfortatly dressed up, and
yet one which would grace every occa-
sion that bore the stamp of informality.
She was young person of quiet man
ners and quiet tastes The dress sho
selected was of gray bengaline-a
shade where tints of pink and violet
were blended. The skirt was trife

a PEOPLES PRESIDENT.

What We May Expect Of Grover Cieve-
land ~ Chisf Executive.
1t seems more than ever likely to be
demonstrated in the second admins
tration of President Cleveland that he
means to be indeed the president OF
the country while in Office. We have
had none too many of such men in the
presidents chair. but it is a notable
fact that those who have thus asserted
themselves have more than any others
found favor with the people. The two
most conspicuous instances of this kind
have, perhaps, been Jackson and Lin
coin. Their way of asserting them
selves, respectively, were as far apart
as possible; yet each was sure to at
tain his end at last, and each had the
full appreciation of the people in SO do
ing. Jackson was man headstrong.
violent. willful, but honest, thorough
" patriotic, thoroughly American. He
fought some of the ablest men in his
own party that any president has ever
encountered. 1t is not at all sure that
he was right in all these controversies,
yet the heart of the people was
with him. They liked his courage.
and they particularly sympathized
with his disposition to resist
tn o attempt of cliques in his party to
control They even overlooked the
fact that other cliques were insidious-
" doing the same thing because they
saw that jackson was unconscious OF
the fact, and also that he was earnest
in his resistance to the attempt of the
money power of the country to obtain
special privileges in the government
There is an unmistakable analogy be-
tween the position of jackson and
that of Cleveland on this latter point
Cleveland is more like jackson than
like Lincoln in his personal tempera-
ment He is frank rather than polite
in his methods. He has a much better
comprehension of the principles of gov
eminent than had jackson, however,
and less tendency to personal willful-
ness. Both men have sought to serve
the country, but jackson acted more
from impulse, and was apt to forget
everything blu: self when he encoun-
tered opposition in the government
He made everything of this kind a per-
sonal matter. We do not find the same
recognize in him a strong sense of what
he owes to the country. and determi-
nation to discharge his duty in this re-
spect Here his assertion Of personality
is as strong as that of jackson. He
will use the whole power of his great
Office to such an end. In SO doing he
will find the country with him.--Bos.

and Carnot's friends claim that no faith
whatever should be attached to Bal

against Carnot for not having protected
