Bombs Caused by Social Misery.
Valiant then proceeded to declare that
1t was the manifold iniquities OF society
which led brave men like himself to make
themselves the mouthpieces Of the de-
mands OF the working classes Accord
ing to Valiant. the primary cause of
bombs Is social misery, and he continued
explaining his idea of the proper system
Of society, concluding by remarklng:
.'In my duel against society l only

my turn II you like, but what little weight
will your verdict have in the history OF

Valiant was listened to throughout the
reading Of his declaration in the most pro-
found silence and with the closest atten-
tion. The prisoner read the document,
which he had evidently carefully pre-
pared, In the most fervid and dramatic
manner, seemingly believing all his utter
ances to be true, and deeply moved by the
excitement of the occasion. Several ladies
were actually moved to tears by some Of
the most touching portions.
After Vaillant's statement had been con-
ciuded the public prosecutor introduced a
number OF witnesses, deputies and Others.

Upon hearing the verdict Valiant
sprang to his feet and shouted: "It Is

turned with a smile to the people in the
court room and passed his hand around
his neck to signify that the guillotine
would be his doom.

waiian Annexation.
WAsHINGToY, Jan. 1.-THE principal
event In the senate yesterday was the
speech Of Senator Davis, of Minnesota, IN
support OF the policy Of non-intervention
in Hawaiian affairs. The senator plainly
expressed himself as in favor Of the ad-
nexation OF Hawaii and declared that to
be the manifest destiny of the Hawaiian
islands. In the earlier part of the day
Senator German created some surprise by
declaring that during the past three yeara
the total appropriations of congress had
exceeded by $500. 600 900 the total revenues
of the government during that period. A
large portion Of this enormous aggregate
is for public buildings, and is In a great
measure yet unexpended.
The third day Of the tariff debate in the
house was enlivened by sensational
speech by Mr.. Tom johnson. Of Ohio, the
free trade and single tax advocate, who
claims. with Hon. Lawrence T. Neal. the
late Democratic candidate for governor Of
Ohio. the joint authorship of the tariff
plank in the Chicago platform. He boldly
attacked the Democrats for the timid
manner in which they had handled the
tariff question, and ch urged them with
cowardice all along the line. Mr.. Dalzell,
Of Pittsburg, made a brilliant speech in
defense of the tariff, dwelling particularly
on the iron and steel interests. Messrs.
Warner and Coombs, Of New York, were
the other speakers.

Was Dismissed.
Yesterday afternoon a colored man
named George 7. Durham, but
who Is known to everyone as Tom
Fortner, presented himself at the
window Of the Receiver Of Taxes, and
asked for tax receipt. Clerk Bowman
was about to give him one, when State
Detective McYey, who was standing by,
said that the mans name was Fortner
and not Durham. The clerk
therefore refused him q receipt.
Durham refused to leave the window
until he got the receipt and McVey was
ordered to arrest him SO as to allow
others to pay their taxes. NcVey sent
the man TO the police station aud this
morning he was arrsigned, charged with
attempting to impersonate q voter
Counselors Medford Cahoon and Walter
Bacon were present and offered their
services to the prisoner, who was
wise enough not to accept. The
evidence showed that the mans name Is
George T. Durham, although he had
always been known as Tom Fortner.
Detective McVey swore he had known
him for twenty five years and had never
known him as Durham. Judge Ball
dismissed the case, the prisoner paying
the costs. The judge stated to Durham
that when objections were made to his
name he should have gone away and
secured parties who knew him. The
clerks have the perfect right whenssuch
objection. is made to refuse to issue 3
receipt until they we're satisfied that oil
was right, otherwise there would be. nc

"I'n punch your jaw" Caleb replied
l guess not, and started for the dooi

to press the charge although lac owned
up to having said to the officer that h'
thought they weren't trying to srres

with costs to the prisoner.
