ing TO legal technicality, brought out
by his application, the action Of the o>r-
oner's jury DUNG its first four days
sitting wac declared void by the co rt,
and yesterday the inquiry had to be
started fresh. An army court Of inquiry
will also investigate, but not until after
the coroner's inquest is concluded. The
intense excitement has been beneficial
in a peculiar sense to the families of the
victims. 1t has kept the matter before
the public constantly, thus adding large
" to the subscriptions to the popular
fund for their assistance, which row
amounts to $4,000 and is still growing.
Nearly every one of the killed left de
pendant families.
1t is remarkable how prone the dem
ocrats are to do things for which thoy
have for many years abused the repub-
leans. For instance, it is stated at the
navy department that the L.. s, Dolphin
has been dry locked at the New York
navy yard, in order that che may be put
in thorough order, as she is TO be placed
at Mr.. Cleveland's personal disposal dur
ing the time he spends at his Buzzard's
Bay cottage this summer. Personally
your correspondent believes it to be per
fectly right that the president Of the
United States should have a government
vessel placed at his disposal whenever
he travels by water, it adds dignity to
his movements that is in keeping with
the exalted Office he holds and really
costs nothing extra to the government,
as the vessel and crew have to be main
tanned anyway, but the democrats have
as a rule taken, or pretended to take an
opposite view.
An anti-election pledge made by Chair
mar Harrlty OF the national democratic
committee was cancelled when Mr.. Cleye-
land this week appointed Daniel r.
Murphy U. s. District Attorney for Or
egon, IN spite of hundreds of democratic
protests from that state, Murphy was
chairman OF the democratic state COM
mittee of Oregon during the last cam
paign and the work he did was to throw
the democratic vote to the Weaver cleo
tors, although the entire democratic
state ticket had to be betrayed and sac
rifced to do it,
Col. A. L. Conger, for some years
Ohio's member of the republican nation
al committee, brings good news from
that state, He says: "All differences
among Ohio republicans have been for
gotten and every elemen of the party
is united on Mckinley, and 1 believe he
will be again elected"
Secretary Morton isn't inclined to give
the cabinet of which Re is member any
credit for the slight improvement in the
financial outlook, which is this week
porceptible. He thinks it Is all owing
to the fall in the price of wheat and says:
1t would seem that we have reached the
price at which foreign markets will pur
chase our wheat, and it is now going
aboard. Instead, therefore of gold
shipments. there will be exchange for
cereals and the financial problem will be
easier"
Congressman Wilson, of West Vir-
ginia, who is credited by many with
being Mr.. Cleveland's mouthpieee when
ever he wishes to sound public senti-
ment, has just given, while pretending
to speak in its favor, state bank currency
a blackeve, and now the question is
being asked, "did he do it pulposely,
and at Mr.. Cleveland's request?' 1t
certainly looks that way. He was
speaking of the probability of repeal
of the 10 per cent tax on state bank
currency, when he said: II do not be-
lieve that it would be dangerous ex-
pertinent. Their notes would not be a
legal tender, and no one would be com
PEELED to except them unless they so de-
sired" Could stronger argument be
presented against such currency =?
What man wants to be paid in money
that he may or may be able to pay his
own debts with.
