ON TO WASHINGTON.
Several Thousand Delegates to Pro-
test Against the Wilson Bill.

Philadelphia, March "a move
ment to hold a big convention OF
workingnen in Washington on April
6 and 7 TO protest against the passage
of the Wilson bill by the Senate has
been inaugurated here. Delegates re-
presenting about fifty of the large t
manufacturing establishments in the
city, employing about 20, 900 opera
tives, held a meeting last evening IN
Kensington, the manufacturing dis
trict of Philadelphia, to take action
upon the proposed protest against the
bill.
Letters were read from workingmen
representing mill employees in many
of the large cities in the East endors-
ing the proposed convention and prom
Using to send delegates to it. 1t was
said that when the senate had actual
evidence of opposition to the bill in
the presence of several thousand men in
Washington to protest against it, Ser
ators would be brought to hear them.
Finally it was decided to hold the
convention in Washington, and reso-
lutions condemning the Wilson bill
were passed, Negotiations are al
ready ID progress with the railroads
for special rates from this city to
Washington, and if the fare is placed
low enough 5000 men are expected
to go to the Capitol on April 6.

The Statesman and the Shepherds
town Register call us down on account
of some things we published about
John y. McKane. They claim that
the Graveseud boss voted for Harri-
son in 1888, and not only SO. but that
lie worked his registration racket Tor
the nse and benefit of the Republican
party. They are positive-know ali
about it-and intimate that he was
the instrument employed by Mat.
Quay to defeat Cleveland on his sec
ond heat If true, it's sad but sad
der still that he should have Topped
Another point. If our friends knew
of McKane's rascality, they should
have brought him to justice and thus
put the Republican where the Demo
cratic party now is-in a hole.

End of the CrOnin Case.

The acqtiittal of Dan Coughlin OF
his alleged completely i'll the murder
of DR. Cronin will probably mark the
conclusion of all further attempts to
solve the mystery that still fingers
about this memorable tragedy. 1t
now nearly five years since DR.. Cron-
in came to his violent death. The
two men, Burke and O'Sulivan, who
were convicted as principals in the
crime and sentenced to life imprison-
ment, have since gone to their last ac-
count.
The attempt to implicate Coughlin
as one Of the assassins or accessories
has failed 1t is not unlikely that the
prosecution had expectations of un-
earthing evidence that would throw
some light upon the original con-
spiracy and lead to the exposure of
those who aided and abetted it; but
Coughlin is acquitted and no new or
important information was elected
concerning other men than himself or
other motives than have already been
disclosed.
The trial has lasted for over four
months and it has been conducted on
both sides with exhaustive energy and
marked ability. The testimony, to
those who have given it attention,
points strongly to the guilt OF the ac-
cused. There was a circumstantiali-
ty about it that to the ordinary mind
was convincing, but to a juror upon
oath it lacked that peculiar strength
of circumstance that would warrant
him in convicting the prisoner.
There were large loopholes of doubt
as to the veracity of witnesses, the
of the evidence, and the
identity of the accused, and to these
the latter owes his deliverance. He
may have been guilty, but he was not

NOTHING TO BE PROUD OF.

The Herald did not write up "a
year of Clevelandism," prefering first
to see what his friends had to say.
They have said their piece, and what
is it The repeal of the purchasing
clause of the Sherman silver law, and
OF the federal elections law. The first
would not have been accomplished
had not Republicans furnished the
votes, They did this because it was
charged with being the cause of all the
ills the people were suffering And
after being repealed it was clear that
somebody had defaulted on the truth.
The other was gotten out of the way
IN order that Bourbon methods might
prevail in National as we'll as State
elections.
That is all9
No, not all, only that of which the
cuckoos boast.
Nothing is said Of the great 6nau-
cial wreck, of the millions of money
worse than wasted, of railroads in the
hands of receivers, of bursted banks.
of closed factories, of devasted homes.
OF soup houses, of the grand army OF
the unemployed, Of helpless women
and children begging for bread, of la
Dor riots, of universal misery.
They say nothing of the elections
during 1898, or of those of ga. They
do not once refer to the fact that Penn
sylvania gave GO, 1000 Republican ma
Jofity in 90, $4,000 in 90. and 1888.

pride to McKane and a whole drove Of
Tammany Democrats in stripes al
Sing Sing.
All is WEAKNESS and heaviness Of
heart when they behold their party
rent into factions and each one striv-
ing to hide from the wrath to come.
Embarking upon free trade plank,
we find the Democracy in the tolls OF
the great Sugar and Oil trusts, offer
ing them all the protection asked for
while the farmer and wool grower and
lumberman are obliged to compete
with the paaper labor of every nation
under heaven.

Sizing Him Up.

Richie Gazette.
Some of the Democratic papers of
this State did not like it when the Ga
zette gave the true measure of one of
their alledged great men, now deceas-
ed, as only that of solid, discreet,
sensible fellow; now let them take this
papers estimate of Hon. w. L. Wilson,
and see what they can make of it.
Their ideal is not talented, but only
cultured. He is not an orator, but
merely ready speaker. Instead of
being genius, he never uttered an
original, bright idea in his life. He
is merely ready man, little at the
front at present, that is all.

It seems strange, but true it is,
that there are yet in existence
young mothers who never give
their young babiesa drink of water.
Water is as necessary to a child's

Two or three times a day the baby
should be given a drink of water,
say a tablespoonful at regular in
tervals. Try the little mite and
see how he relishes it. Further
more, it will, if given at regular in
tervals, keep the bowels in good or

prominent physician was called in
for severe case of vomiting and

tablespoonful of water and one of
