Criminal Proceedings.

The St. Joseph Gazette says that
Prendergast, the assassin of Mayor
Harrison, of Chicago, could have been
hanged within twenty-one days after
he committed the crime and still have
had all his rights protected. This is
very true, but yet the machinery OF
the criminal laws in Illinois, like Mis-
souri,, will not permit of speedy jus
tice. This is the reason so many men
are mobbed, and it is the reason that
criminal costs have become SO burden
some. DR.. Arthur Duestrow murder
ed his wife and baby son in St. Louis
several months ago. The crime was
so cruel that it shocked the entire
state. why is he not tried?" the peo-
pie say. Because the criminal laws of
Missouri do not permit of speedy JUS
tice when a person is accused of crime
has means to fight prosecution.
There is no telling when DIR. Duestrow
will be tried. He is reputed to have
an income of $4,000 per year and
this is almost equivalent to saying that

Democratic Humor In the House.

The Democrats of the House seem
to have enjoyed themselves to the top
of their bent last Saturday. The Re-
publican members, under the leader
ship of Tom Reed. were making OBJ
structive motions in regard to the tariff
bill, and proposing to concur or not
concur in the various Senate amend
ments to the Wilson bill. Finally Mr..
Catchings of Mississippi reported a
rule from the Committee on Rules dis
charging the Committee of the Whole
from further consideration OF the tariff
bill, ordering the appointment of a
committee of conference, and restrict
ing to two hours DEBATE upon the pro-
posed rule. Mr.. Reed promptly exhib-
tied his best style of ironical cempli
ment. He congratulated the Democrats
upon following Republican precedents
and doing for the so-called Democratic
had done for the Mckinley bill. Mr..
Julius Caesar Burrows amused himself
and the House by quoting from speech
es made there in 1899 by Mr.. Crisp,
Mr.. Turner. Mr.. McMillin, and other
Democratic members, speeches made
against forced consideration of the
Mckinley bill. The reproduction OF
these protests gave the House great
Joy. Mr.. McMillin. Mr.. Turner, and
other members laughed heartily at the
reproduction of their excited utter
ances OF four years ago, when they
we're in the minority. The culmina-
tion of hiliarity was reached when Mr..
Burrows read from the Congressional
Record Mr.. Crisp's remark that such
rule would take all power from the
House and put the power into the
hands of a little combination. Mr..
Reed, recalling Mr.. Crisp's appeal. got
up at this point and appealed to "Phil-
ip SOBER" whereupon there ..was up
roarious applause and hearty laugh
ter. in which Mr.. Crisp joined"
The performance was humorous
enough from a Republican point of
view. Few things could make the Re-

COLONEL THORNTON w. WASHING
TON, of Washington, d. c.. is dead.
His death removes one of the direct
lineal defendants of General George
Washington. He was a great-grand-
son of Colonel Samuel Washington.
the oldest brother Of the illustrious
first president OF the United States. and
the fifth generation in descent from
Colonel John Washington. the first
immigrant of the Washington family
in America. who came over in 1869
and settled on the border of Pope's
creek, near its junction with the PO-
tomac river. in what is now Westmore-
land county, Virginia. He served in
the Confederate army. His wife and
seven children survive him.

he will never receive the punishment
he would receive if he was a pool
man.
1t is time the people of this state
were being fully apprised of the poor
| administration of the criminal laws
and the enormous burden of criminal
costs. The legislature of 1898 appro.
priated $55o.00O for the payment OF
criminal costs. and every dollar of this
enormous appropriation has been ex-
hausted and from present indications
there will be deficiency of 800. 900.
No matter how much money is appro-
priated for criminal costs, there is
never enough to meet all the demands.
1t cost the state over 1000 to hang
Wills Howard who murdered a deaf
mute IN Maries county. There was
never any question about his guilt,
but the defense took every advantage
OF the delays permitted by the law.
1t takes a long time to get any murder
er before a jury and a much greater
length of time to secure his legal exc
cution. 1t is all nonsense to say that
these delays are necessary in order to
protect the rights of persons charged
with crimes. The United States courts
do not permit of such delays and inno-
cent persons have nothing to fear.
When a man commits notorious
crime he ought to be tried forth with
that is, within a few weeks-and be-
fore the witnesses scatter. To estab-
lish this reform the civil and the Grim
inal courts should be separated and
district attorneys elected. And there
must be wholesale changes made in
the present laws, particularly in the
matter of obtaining continuances and
changes of venue.
If the laws remain as they are the
for criminal costs must
be greatly enlarged end the people
must make up their minds to see many
criminals go unwhipped of Justice

publicans happier than to see the Dem
ocrats humbly emulating and repeating
the procedure that produced SO much
fervid Democratic indignation four
years ago. And the Democrats show
what the sincerity of their indignation
at that time was by their '.hearty
laughter" now. Yet there is something
that must move them to as hearty laugh
ter, to all that somewhat dry merri-
ment that can arise from the remem-
brance of having choused the public.
To initiate the Republicans in their
throttling of debate is not difficult
task. To steal half of a tariff from the
Republicans and the other half from
the Populists is much bigger achieve
ment; and the hearty laugh that ac-
companies the breaking of promises
and the swallowing of principles is the
commonest form of cackle in Washing

Old John Brown Again.

Education and environment are won
derful things. There are millions of
good people in the north who would
protest against the erection Of a mon
ument to the anarchists who OCCASION
ally resort to the torch and the dyna-
mite bomb in their large cities. but
these same people are delighted to
hear that a monument to old John
Brown will be raised at Harper's Fer
ry.
Speaking of the Brown monument.
the Springfield Republican says:
Nothing more appropriate could be
done than this. That John Brown, the
Puritan, in whom the very spirit of
Cromwell's Ironsides was incarnate-
the head of enmity for slavery OF the
human race. as Cromwell was the de-
stroyer of divine prerogrtive-sEould
be commemorated in this way on the
spot where he attacked slavery in its
most venerable domain. the state Of
George Washington and Thomas JEFF
ferson, both of whom abhorred the in
stitution and desired its death-this is
indeed most significant and import
ant marker of the progress of gener-
alton. Virginia should welcome it,
for it indicates emphatically her new
life of freedom for all. 1t is only pro-
posed tc rear a granite shaft. at a cost
of $40, 900 or S12. 900. and the Balti-
more and Ohio Railroad Company has
granted the committee the land on
which to place it, and enclosed by the
railroad property, say the committee,
it, ..will be secured against vandal-
ISM" But it is not probable that van
dalism will attack such monument.
1t represents historic fact, which has
been vastly beneficial to the south.
Now, it is admitted even by fair
minded northern writers that Brown
was a robber and murderer out in
Kansas. He went into Virginia to In
cite an insurrection of slaves in which
the negroes we're expected to burn. kill
and ravish. In plain English this was
the old cutthroat's object. and after q
generation of peace it is modifying to
think that we have any fanatics, north
or south, who feel disposed to perpet-
uate him in marble.
When Virginia hung John Brown
she set a needed example to all states
that are menaced by such foes. If q
southern outlaw should evade the
north on an crrand of arson, pillage
and murder, we hope that he will be
sent to the gallows. although he may
plead that he was trying to emancipate
the masses from conditions somewhat
resembling slavery.
No monuments should be raised any
where to such public enemies. s.-AttGn-

The Effects OF the Gold Standard.

ANNAPOLIS, July 14th, 1894.
Ed. Register-It seems to me that the
test of the gold standard has been Sc
we're enough up to date to satisfy ev-
cry fair minded person. When Con-
gress was called together in 1898, we
were told that if the purchase of silver
was stopped prosperity would be upon
every hand.
Where is the prosperity? And who
are prosperous but the money chang
ers, the representatives of those whom
Christ scourged out of the temple?
But of all bare-footed robbery, the
so-called gold reserve is the most out
rageous that ever disgraced an en-
lightened people. After a recent pur-
chase of s25, 10000 of gold. we are
now $40, 100000 short of the required
sum- We will soon have to issue
s5O,0OO,OOO more bonds-for what? To
put gold within easy reach of the mon
ey kings. Where will this thing
cease? When can we quit issuing
bonds and going into debt to maintain
a gold reserve? Why not let those
who want gold go to the sellers Of
gold and buy? l hear some one say
that would bring gold to premium.
No, that is a mistake; gold is already
at premium, and Uncle Sam is pay
ing the premium and giving it out at
par. Every cent OF interest on the new
bonds is that much premium on gold.
We are now in the predicament of the
man who let go the rope to spit on his
hands to avoid falling. In our anx-
iety to prevent gold from going to a
premium. We pay the premium our
selves. Under the present rules the
time is sure to come when gold will 60
to a premium. Then why retreat
not face the situation as
it is? If gold must go to premium.
let those who want gold pay that
premium. What right has the gov
ernment to pay the premium in order
to keep the two metals on a parity be-
fore the people?
We have had almost a year of the
single gold standard, with the most
frightful results.
Two years ago the people spoke in
tones in favor of placing gold
and silver on an equality. They ask
ed for bread and were given a stone.
Our kindhearted lawmakers, know
ing best what the people needed, threw
the Democratic policies and platforms
to the wind: disregarded all promises
and pledges to the people and plunged
the country into financial disaster.
What confidence can the people have
in party pledges? How long will the
people sit idly by and see their wishes
Will the traitors be re-
tanned in office? If so, will the voice
of the people ever be heard again In
this fair land? If the wish of the peo-
pie so plainly expressed can be fatty
with impunity, popular
is at an end in this cOun-
try, and the celebration of the fourth
of July is hollow mockery.
In the opinion of the writer no one
but known friend to silver can keep
the people in line in '96; and, as for
the writer, no gold bug need apply.

Less Money, More Bayonets.

We are not surprised to find the At
lanta Journal favoring standing army
with a larger number of sol1iers than
we now have under arms. That is
what 1t now calls for.
| The advocates of the gold standard
are all rapidly coming to the .conclu
sion that it will require bayonet rule
in this country, if their oppressive pol.
icy is continued.
Less money, more bayonets! This is
the position of the gold sharks and the
politicians and newspapers on their
side.
The people are opposed to large
standing armies. We made this one
of our grievances in the declaration OF
independence and we have been on
that line ever since. The Democratic
party has always held that a large
standing army would be a menace to
the reserved rights of the states, and
to the people. When we had numer-
Gus territories and a large number of
Indians there was some necessity for a
good sized army. But We have fewer
Indians now, and nearly all of the
former territories are now states with
their own militia. The proposed in
crease of the federal army can only
excite suspicion and alarm. In 1868
congress reduced the army to $4,000,
and it was sufficient during all the
reconstruction troubles. Why increase
it now?
The question is easily answered.
The gold standard leaders fear that the
contraction of the currency will cause
further discomfort and distress. They
distrust the states, and have 20 faith
in the people, and they would overawe
the masses by scattering bayonets and
Gatling guns all over the land.
The Journal is right from its point
of view. If we ale to have currency
contraction, with all its evils in the
shape of a general sbrinkage of values,
low wages, blighted industries and
stagnant commerce, the people are 60
ing to protest very vigorously and en-
deavor to right their wrongs at the
ballot box. In order to maintain the
gold standard against the will of the
masses it will then become necessary
to suppress free speech, control the
elections by force, support big
standing army, and multiply our pris-
ons and poorhouses.
Less money, more bayonets! The
two go together. But it is bad poll
cy, and it will prove very expensive in
the end. Before we resort to such
dangerous expedients, why not 60
back to our old system-restoreb bimet-
allism and expand the currency? That
would make our people SO busy, pros
porous and happy that the soldier
would be back number and his bay
onet would be holiday toy.
If we restore our American financial
system there will be no need of the
European mode OF governing people by
the bayonet. Give US more dollars and
fewer bayonets!-Atldnta Constitution.

A Texas Jefreys.

The plenary power of a court to pun
, ish for contempt, unchecked by an,
. coordinate branch of the government
has been put to a severe test by Judg.
Goodrich in Texas.
He has assumed the right to impris
on citizens at will as guilty of contemp
when they have been guilty of no dis
turbance of the courts proceedings. nc
obstruction of its processes, and have
only exercised the citizens privilege
of criticising the Judge as unfit for his
position, expressing their opinions,
not in the presence of the court bu,
through the newspapers.
Judge Goodrich stretched his au.
thority to punish for contempt by hold
ing that words printed in a newspaper
were constructively spoken in the pres
ence of the court, and that he could
wreak his vengeance on those who
questioned his decisions or his judicial
fairness by putting them in prison dur
ing his pleasure, without relief from
executive pardon or appeal to any 9TH
er court.
The Governor assumed that. if he
| could exercise his pardoning power to
prevent the execution of judicial SEN
tence for any other crime. he could
pardon men for constructive contempt
of court. But Judge Goodrich refused
to release the men as pardoned crimi-
nails. LAS WE'LL" he said, ''let An
archy reign, if it be understood that
the courts cannot punish for contempt
except by permission of coordinate
branch of government"
The Texas Court of Criminal APP
peals, however, has ordered the release
of Judge Goodrich's prisoners on bail.
pending a decision of that court as to
the validity of the Governors pardon
in such cases. As one court will not
review another's decision in a contempt
case, decision that only the Judge
himself can limit the Imprisonment of
those he adjudges guilty of contempt
will mean good deal.
1t will mean that people and press
free to criticize or accuse any other
official, subject only to actions for SLAM
der or punishment for libel, are not
free to censure the qualifications or
conduct of judges; that judge can
take offense at anything said anywhere
about him or his rulings, and imprison
the offending party as long as he
pleases for such constructive contempt
of court.
Such power. coupled with that of
issuing omnibus injunctions and re-
straining orders, would strip American
liberty of the armor of Magma Charta.
Habeas Corpus and Constitution. 1t
would leave American citizenship with
out any rights court could be COM.
PEELED to respect.
The people cannot too soon place
statutory handouts on any such judi
cial power as this, nor can they too
soon assume that no Judge eager to
exercise such power is to be trusted
with a seat on the bench of this coun-
try.-Post- DisDQtch

We're In It.

No matter what the cynics say
We're in it!
The sun grows brighter day by day,
The rivers ripple on their way,
And more sweet roses meet the May
Each minute,
No matter how the poets sing
We're in it.
A brighter hue the rainbows fling,
And lovlier fruits the seasons bring,
While sweeter far the songbirds sing
Each minute!
No matter what may come or go
We're in it!
And skies may smile, or tempests blow,
Yet still we hope, and still we know
The good Lord guides his world below
Each minute.

Terrible Crime Of a Man In South

Terrible Crime of a Man in South
Oak t
ASHTON, s.. D., June 5.-Word has
just reached here that William Shep.
ard, a farmer Is miles northeast, at.
tempted the life of his wife, Mary
Shepard, her father and mother,
Mr.. and Mrs. John Stevenson, and a
man named John Sebrose. Shepard's
wife left him about a week ago and
went to live with her father and
mother. About 9 p. m. Shepard made
his appearance, and stepping into the
house commenced firing, first at Sebrose,
who escaped and ran for help; turning
or the S%tevensons he shot the man
twice through the shoulder, and Mrs.
Stevenson through the arm. By this
this time his revolver was empty and
he stopped to reload, but his wife sue
ceeded in snatching it from him. At
this he picked up a stone, and turning
on her beat her over the head until she
was apparently l~ifeless. By this time
help from the town was approaching,
and he fled. Next morning he was
found dead about a mile from the
house, having taken poison. At this
time the others are alive, but the wife's
condition is critical.
