Is the INDEPENDENT editor fish
ing for a reconciliation with Mr..
Evans or does he mean to show such
party fealty that he would support
the devil, let alone Mr.. Evans ~
Statesman.
We fish for whatever is right, es-
specially reconciliation and reciproc-
ity. We know not why our chris
tan brother desires to make war, as
he should we'll know, "Blessed is the
peace maker" We have never tried
to support the devil and hope the
Statesman man will long defer being
the candidate.

HOME INTERESTS-AN ICE
PLANT.


There vas a time wher ice was
considered a luxury but of late years
it has been found to be necessity.
AS coal is required in winter, so is
ice in summer. True, we have sew
eral dealers here. Tut the price ask
ed is beyond the reach If the ordi-
nary individual these goo loldtimes.'
They sell to a hotel o. q saloon or
butchers at SO cents per hundred
pounds, but t. the general public they
want Is and 80 cents per hundred.
This is wrong and a mistake and
must result in the erection of an ice
plant. Manufactured ice can be
bought in Hagerstown at $3.50 per
ton, the freight rate is low and by
hauling quickly the price should be
much lower than now asked. But
the question is why not save send
ing the money away? Why not
have an ice plant in Martinsburg !?
The Edison Electric Plant has ev-
cry convenience, plenty water, plen-
ty of power that is now idle during
the day. We suggest to Mr.. Will
son that an effort he made in this
direction, the power be utilized and
the people benefited, and as it is to
supply a needed want we ask our
people to join in the enterprise.
The Hagerstown plant paid 90 per
cent dividend the first year.

Breckenridge Forgiven.

LEXINGTON, KY, May 6.-Last
evening at meeting OF the session
of the Mount Horeb Church ofwhich
Colonel Breckenridge is a member,
and over which his father once pre-
sided, he was summoned to appear.
Colonel Breckenridge confessed his
guilt in about the same way be tes-
tilted in the case just decided, and
prayed forgiveness, saying that he
had repented and would live a new
lie in the future. After a consul
tation he was forgiven and taken in=
to church again. This is the SECOND
Kentucky statesman who has en-
braced religion in the past two
months. Joe Blackburn having con-
fessed before Moody, the Evangelist.
and was converted. This move, il
is believed, will put Breckenridge in
good standing with the church peo-
pie again.

CoxEY CoNvIcTED.-So much has
been said of Jacob S. Coxey and his
AIDS in the 'great commonweal"
army that we refrain from saying
more about them except the follow
ing which will in all probability drive
both general and army into ''innocu-
Gus desuetude," from whence they
will scarcely ever appear again.
WASHINGTON, May S.-The trial of
Jacob S. Coxey, Carl Browne and
Christopher Columbus Jones, of the
Commonweal Army, for violation of
the act of Congress which forbids
trespass on the grounds of the Capt.
toll, ended in the Police Court to-
day in alibi being found guilty on the
first charge-of carrying banners. On
the second charge Coxey aud Browne
were found guilty of walking on
the Capitol grass; Jones, not guilty.
They were released on bail and mo-
ton for new trial was entered.
Representative Pence, of Colorado
represented the defendants and after
other things said: Tomorrow, Mr..
Coxey, free man by your verdict,
will appear before the labor com
mittee of Congress under the resolu-
ton of Mr.. Bell, of Colorado, to de-
wise means for giving employment
to the unemployed; will present his
arguments peaceably ard quietly,
and will be listened to more atten-
lively than any paid lobbyist, / can
assure you. The District attorney
wants you to convict because he
paid to have his horses shod from
the general fund and because he
puts up at a hotel. Are there no
law under which this remarkably
active District attorney could deal
with the lobbyists who actually to en-
deavor to corrupt legislation? There
is crisis that calls for our most
careful actions in this country now.
Let us follow such course for our
country, which we all love, that we
will show we are not bent on sitting
the right of petition and throwing
men into Jail for whom a duty ap-
pointed committee waits. Treat
these men as you would treat your
own fellow-citizens, and whatever
shall be written of the Coxey move
ments when it becomes, a part of
history, let it not be said that twelve
citizens of Washington branded this
honest well-meaning, patriotic man
as criminal"
District Attorney Birney in reply
said: "Look at this man." he sa d
pointing to Browne, "and tell me,
whether he looks like a workingman or
like fakir, a charlatan, mounte-
bank. For this man, (Coxey,) who
drove in carriage from Massillon
while his followers walked through
the snow, | have only contempt.
would that / might punish him for
corrupting those deluded young men
into trampdom that he has led here
and lodged on a duDg-heap and ex-
hibited like wild animals" Much
had been said about lobbyists, and
perhaps the four congressman who
had been here could give him some
proofs by which he could prosecute
lobbyists. The District attorney
likened the Coxey movements to the |
start ofthe French Commune. Cox |
ey, he said, had gone 10 the Capitol |
as the leader ola notwithstanding to Gre
ate disorder. and did create disorder.
The jury returned at 1856 o'clock
with verdict finding the three de
PENDANTS guilty of the charge of dis
playing a banner and Coxey and
Browne guilty of walking on the
grass.

The democrats nominated Mr.. C..
P. Matthaei for Mayor on last Sat
urday evening. He is careful gen
ial gentleman aud an esteemed citi
zen and also evenly balanced mental
ly. The only trouble the Squire

The foreigners will make several
million dollars off our people by the
proposed tariff bill and as Senator
Hill remarks very wisely, "The diff
ference will have to be made up in
the income tax" and he might have
added loss of employment and the
breaking up of industries to the
destruction of the home market Of
the farmers by reason of broken up
factories and no work for working
people.
