A FLAT FIZZLE.
The Charges Against Deputy Marshals
Judge Jackson Reads Newspaper
Men Lecture.

CHARLESTON, w. VA, November
27-The Investigation of the charges
against the deputy marshals was
finished to-day. The examination
of score or more of witnesses failed
to prove any disordefly conduct on
the part of the deputy marshals.
DIR. Thomas Hallanan, Of the Hunt
ington Times, received a severe rep.
rimand fos his attack upon the Off
GERS and the court. Judge Jackson
said he had the power to send him
before the grand jury for indictment
for libel or to punish him for con
tempt of court. but he said that as
Hallanan had made the statement
through ignorance rather than
through malice, he would make no
rule against him, but would expect
him to cay in his paper when he went
home that be has been mistaken
about the matter and that the depu-
ty marshals had not been guilty of
conduct unbecoming officers of the
court
Judge j. II. Ferguson, counsel for
the deputy marshals, then stated to
the court that he desired to intro
duce a witness and take his testimo,
ny to be used when needed. j. NJ.
Baker, of Williamson, Logan county
then testified that he had heard Dr.
Hallanan remark that what he had
said in the Times was not intended
as any reflection upon Judge Jack
SOD, but be proposed to give the
judge the devil hereafter" where
upon Judge jackson ordered rule
to issue against Hallanan returnable
at two o'clock.
At two O'Clock Hallanan appeared
and stated that he had been unable
to secure counsel and desired the
case continued till to morrow morn
ing, which was granted.
The charges preferred against the
deputy marshals by Charleston and

least one Of thos journalists will have

An exchange says all who sympa-
thize with the agricultural classes
will be glad to learn that the Farm
ers' Alliance is turning away from
politics and is preparing to devote
itself to advancing those interests in
whose behalf it was originally or
ganized. The Alliance of the state
has already recommended its mem
bers to abstain from politics as an
organization until the Presidential
election of 1896, and meanwhile to
turn their attention to their farms
and to experiment with diversified
crops.
The reimbursement of the tariff,
and the establishment of stable
currency system will do much to
Tighten the burden now borne by the
farmers, but legislation alone can
not make agriculture profitable. The
farmer must work out his own
salvation, and the sooner the ALI
ance leaders abandon politics and
turn their attention to improving
agricultural methods the better it
will be for the great class they rep
resent.
The Farmers Alliance was origi-
nally intended as non-political or
ganization. Since it has entered
politics it has accomplished nothing
for the good of the farming inter
est, and has threatened the financial
stability of the whole country by its
advocacy of free silver and other
economic heresies. If the example
of the Alliance is followed
in other States, and politics
are abandoned not only until 1896,
but altogether, the organization
may yet accomplish much good for
the farmers.
