letter addressed To Hon. w. T.. Glad

She says. in part: Il. in the name OF
God, arraign You. the head OF the Brit

Florence Maybrick. now dying in the
convict prison AT Woking. The home
secretary Of the late government who
began the torture; the late prime

1T is therefore because You believe
Ia God that | invoke the witness OF Al
mighty God while | 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 il 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 il was the business
OF the home Office, which would, OF
course. do its duty. 1t is the old pre-
text of Cain. What ground have you
for assuming that the home Office does
its duty?
Eve 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

guilt. and you bind her hand and foot

PENSION FRAUDS.
4 Republican system ot I9obblng the
People.

= Republican System OF -80bblng the
People.
More than twenty years " Gen.
Garfield. in his place in the house of
representatives. said: THE pension
list is swollen beyond all account.
More frauds are being perpetrated on
from any other source" And. as chair
man Of the committee on appropria-
tons, he further said: ''We may rea-
sonably expect that the expenditures
for pensions will steadily decrease, un-
less legislation should be unwarrantv
bly, extravagant."
do not the vast expenditures for PEE
sions snow that they have been ''unwar-
rantably extravaganza" An exchange
truly says: Pension agents have
fattened at the public crib. Cowardly
politicians have truckled to the soldier
vote. Thousands of names have been
put upon the rolls thai do not belong
there. The sclf-respect and s~elf-re-
lance of thousands Of union veterans
have been determined by those who
have held forth the temptation Of re.
ceiving support from the national
when, but for the induce
ments urged by pension agents. they
would never have thought Of present
ing claims for that which they did not
need.
A writer in the Century pleads for
reinstatement Of the old-fashioned
virtue OF manly independence" the abb
sence Of which has made so many able
bodied paupers in public, professional
and private life, and expresses the
hope that congress will be compelled
by popular Indignation to order .such
thorough investigation as will open the
way for a radical reform of the pension
'fice and the pension system. Detroit

THE SENATORIAL CONTESTS.
struggles OF tho Republicans to Retain
Control OF the senate,

struggles OF tho Republicans to Retain
Control Of the senate.
The threatened conflict in several
states over the election of United
states senator's may be regarded as a
present evil. but there is little doubt
that it will prove an ultimate good.
BY fixing the attention Of the country
upon the opportunities for corruption
afforded by the present system Of
electing senator's. it will force and
hasten the adoption of the amendment
TO the federal constitution proposed by
Senator Palmer, of Illinois, making
senators elective by the people Of the
states.
The adoption of such an amendment
has been foresecn and regarded as in
evItablc for some years past. Ii has
been made inevitable by the election
to the senate. in a number OF states, of
millionaires without marked aualifica-
tion or capability. whose election. in
some cases, has been clearly proved to
have been the result Of bribery. Pub
lie condemnation of the caucus plan has
been growing rapidly of late years. but
the proposed amendment might have
failed of adoption by th~rce-fourths of
the state legislatures for some years to
come but for the object lessons now
presented in the northwestern states.
There is no longer room for doubt
that the republican party. still acting
as the agent of the p~lutocrats who con.
trolled it in the late campaign, is to
make n desperate and determined
struggle in the legislatures Of Ave
states, with n view of retaining con-
troll Of the United States senate. The
special interests which are behind the
republicans believe that in retaining
control Of that body they will succeed.
after all, in defeating the popular de-
nan for a reform in the fiscal policies
Of government.
This Is one of the ooldcst and most
audacious schemes to defeat the popu-
lar will the country has ever seen. Il
Is well for men of all parties to be on
guard against such attempts to sub
vert popular government and pervert
~ to wrong uses. Doubtless the men
who desire to see a senate majority
hostile To the spirit Of reform are not
all in one party. IT is a part Of their
politics 70 divide their strength be-
tween both. But the fact remains that
IT Is to the democratic party that the
country looks TO maintain the sub
stance as we'll as the form OF popular
government. 1t can be relied pon 10
meet the expectations Of the people.
Whatever the results in these con-
tests the fact Of their existence will
serve to acccntuate the demand for the
adoption Of the Sixteenth amendment.
Xhati 1t will lie adoptcd. and that soon.

NOTES AND COMMENTS.

The republicans have whipped
out their burglars tools and are hard
at work or several western legisla-
lures. but in the end they will have
had their trouble for their pains.-N.
Y. World.
There is no state in the union in
which the republican party is more OF
a back number than Wisconsin. Gov.
Peck says there is nothing left Of it ex
cept the colored man who tends the
furnace in the state house cellar
Y. World.
Whenever the republican party
becomes convinced that ~groveling in
the mud before the soldier vote will
not return it to power. il may acknowl-
edge the pension frauds that are now
plain enough to everybody else.-St.
Louis Republic.
1t vas the trust stocks that fell
of most by reason of Mr.. CIeveland's
election, and they are the stocks which
the country can see depressed not only
with equanimity but with a certain
feeling that justice is being done to
men who had no pity to those whom
the Mckinley law had made their vic
Tins N. Y. World.
Just one little suggestion is to be
offered the republican press. The sys-
tenn Of republican protection has been
declared a fraud. Those who have
been caught supporting that fraud need
have no anxiety as to the democrat
ic policy. Democrats will manage the
national affairs for a time. They are
to the people and t.cmo-
Gratis can go fishing.-Chicago Times.
The people have twice declared
their disapproval of the Mckinley tar.

that total madness which precedcs
utter destruction, are busy in the at
tempt TO further delude their followers
by u~ngroundcd assurances that the

and the peoples will is a confirmed re-
publican habit - Louisville Courier

When the senate Of the United
States shall become democratic the re.

Control OF the United states senate.
Some comment has been caused b,
the notice for a meeting ut New YORK.
sent out by Chairman Carter to men,
bers OF the republican national COM
mittec. Those who received the no.
tees declined to say where the meet
ing was TO take place. Sam ~Fessenden,
OF Connecticut. is at the Hoffman
house. lie declined to speak of the
meeting. and seemed surprised to learn
that Mr.. Carriers notice had leaked out
w. j.. Campbell. of Chicago, has been
in town within the last few days. All
that he would say was that he had ex-
pected tc hear from Mr.. Carter. Il
was ascertained that Mr.. Carter and
his brethren are to meet for the pur-
pose OF cooperating with the senate
committee of republicans. who are in
terested in maintaining a republican
majority In the United States senate.
For a week or more after election
most of the republican committee. to-
gether with "a number of republican
United States senators. gave out that
they wanted the democrats TO have the
senate; that they would not lift their
hands I, have it otherwise, and thew
talked in eighteen different dialects of
the hapr mess they would experience
in watching the democrats have con-
troll of the senate. But a change has
over the spirit of their dream.
They now propose to lnake a bitter
fight against the party that has re-
such positive popular indorse-
