As WAS confidently expected the Court
of Pardons unanimously refused to in
terfere with the case of Wesley Warner
and he will now be hanged on the sixth
of September, unless the Governor should
extend the time, which is not probable.
The manner in which this mans case was
conducted must certainly refute the fool
ish idea maintained by some that poor
man has no chance at law. No man, rich
or poor, ever had better chance to de-
fend himself Without one penny at his
command, he was given, at the public ex-
pense, able counsel, all the witnesses
that he needed, and his case was carried
to the highest courts. Not one stone nas
been left unturned in his behalf, and all
the courts have agreed as to his guilt and
its degree, hence there is no cause for
complaint from any quarter that he has
not been given fair chance.

THE following paragraph is taken from
an editorial in the Phil adelphia Inquirer
of Sunday in relation to the water supply
of Mount Holly:
There can be no doubt that it is better
and more satisfactory in every way for a
town to run and control Its water supply,
but to do this in Mount Holly will re-
quire the purchase of the water rights as
well as of the reservoirs and pipes of the
water company. In the numerous cases
of bridges, which of recent years have
been made free through their purchase
by the counties, the stock have
been satIsfed to set the large dividends
paid through long series of years against
the difference between the market value
of the stock ascertained by its dividend
paying power and the lesser valuation
placed upon the property by the juries.
In all their further improvements, turn
pixies toll bridges and private water com
panies, it is usually the case that the pub
lic-spirited citizens who made the i'm
provements received no return or little re-
turn on the investment, and then sold
the stock at low figure or bequeathed it,
so that the present market prices are of
ten five or six times greater than the
prices for which the present holders of
the stock obtained their property. The
newspapers say that the dividends of the
Mount Holly Water Company have
ranged from 10 20 40 per cent. of recent
years, so that the owners, if they pick ed
up the stock at low figure when the use
of water was not general enough to make
the investment profitable. can well afford
to accept such a price for their plant as
the town will be ready to pay, and thus
continue the public spirit which led few
of the citizens of the pl ace, without hope
of profit and without realizing any profit
to build the water works in the first place

The NUMBER of Democrats who have
further use for the party is astonishing.
Among them are many men of great dis
tinction and influence, who have kept the
faith of the party from their youth up.
They say this last disastrous experience of
the unfitness of that party to rule the
country, and its shameful dereiction from
its own principles, has sickened them and
they will never vote a Democratic ticket
again. In little over one year of incum-
bency Democratic Administration and
Congress have brought this nation from a
position of unparalleled prosperity and
happiness almost to the verge of ruin, and
substituted universal distress and disorder
for universal thrift and content. AS
tree is always known by its fruits, not by
its show of blossoms, so party is judged
by its performances and not by promises
So the American people await with almost
intolerable anxiety an opportunity to re-
trieve the terrible mistake they made in
1892. and to retire the party which has
made such havoc with the fortunes of our
country to a position where it will be
powerless for further mischief By the
general consensus of the world the Demo
cratic party has doomed itself to an oblit
erative defeat in 1896, which will begin
with the Congressional elections of this
