Judge Joseph Holt died at his residence
in Washington city last Wednesday. His
death was due directly to fall sustained a
few days ago, to which he paid little atten-
ton. Judge Holt was accused of withhold
ing from President johnson evidence which
would have prevented the murder of Mrs.
Surratt, and it is generally believed that
never since that innocent woman was hang
ed has he slept in an unlighted ROOM
Though born in Kentucky, he favored Lin
coins emancipation proclamation and also
the enlistment of negro troops. He is the
last of the number engaged in the trial and
conviction of Mrs. Surratt; and it is stated
as a fact that all, including himself, died by
violence, self-inAicted, or from accidental
injuries.

The jack-in-the-box sugar scandal, which
was sprung as a sudden scare upon the
whole country. has been quietly picked to
pieces by the special Senate committee and
been found to be only contemplate buga-
boo, after all, made up of the rags of gossip
inflated by little wind. The bold gentle
man who let fly the lid ungallantly ran
away in a fright himself Thorough, i'm
partial investigation has discovered not the
least trace of bribery, direct or indirect, on
the part of the anxious Sugar Trust, nor the
least shadow of sugar speculation by any OF
the Senator'S save two, during the entire
present session of Congress and those two
had disposed of all their stock long ere the
hour of voting. The case against Senator
Camden dangerously resembles cOmbina-
ton of forgery and blackmail. The CON-
mittee wisely takes occasion, however, to
deprecate the pressure brought to bear upon
Congress by the representatives of great in
dustrail Trusts The fasco of smoke with
out fire contains an excellent moral for the
future Philadelphia Record

At an afternoon tea given by Mrs. DR.
Richardson on Thursday to ladies represent
ing the different religious denominations
the object of the gathering was stated by
Misses Riddle aud Forrest to be the discus
sion of ways and means for the establish
ment of library and reading room for the
benefit Of the young men of Charles Town
and more especially those who are strangers
employed in the various industries, inmate;
of boarding houses, and, in many cases
without the comfort of home associations
and at loss FOR a pleasant and profitable
evening resort. The object commended It
self at once to all present, and it was pro-
posed to take steps to raise funds to rent 8
room in an eligible location, furnish and
supply it with books and such other litera'
ture as might be deemed advisable. A lis
of names of gentlemen who should be ap'
pointed a committee to solicit subscriptions
was made out, and, it being decided to sup
plement their efforts by yard party, a com
mittee of ladies was named to arrange the
preliminaries and carry out this plan. Il
was considered desirable before opening the
reading room to make sure Of suficien
sum TO carry it on for six months and TIT
estimation was that something over one hun
dred dollars would cover the expense TO
that length of time. OF course every right
minded person must see the importance o
making every effort to provide for the com
fort of young men exposed IS they are t.
temptations when the days work Is over
and, no doubt, sum sufficient to make thl
beginning will be secured with very it'll
difficulty

completely exonerated Senator Camden
from any completely in the alleged sugar
trust scandal The investigation was thor
ough and complete and Senator Camden's
statement was borne out by the testimony
of other witnesses who were before the COM

We have said the fight in this county is adj
ministration of Grover Cleveland and anti-ad-
ministration, and it is so. Judge Lucas, as
we all know, said he wanted to get out of the
country because he had no faith in the admin
istration, and when he spoke here on Sat-
urday he was sandwiched between Capt J. S.
Melvin, an anti-W. L. Wilson man, and the
editor of the Advocate, an anti-Cleveland,
anti-W. L. Wilson man. Col Clements, who
scratched Cleveland's name from the ticket in
1892, is Morrows candidate-for didn't Col.
Clements tell us that Morrow prematurely an
nounced him for the legislature? But the
above lines are merely PREDATORY to proof that
Morrow is not an administration man. We
append few extracts from his paper Refer
ing to the veto Of the Seignorage bill he said
"Only IS Cuckoos stood by the Mugwump
President"
THE Aries-headed Taurus-necked Mug
wump who by the grace of God and the mis-
take of the American people, occupies the
presidential chair THE country has
not been yet robbed long enough or yet sufi-
GENTLY according to Mr.. Cleveland, and he
wants to afford additional opportunities 1t
is time that political lines were being drawn
so tight Cleveland and his cuckoo crowd shall
be forced into the Republican party where
they belong. OF the two Cleveland Democ-
racy and Republicanism pure and simple, We
would take pure and simple RepublicanlSm
every time, for we would then know exactly
where we are at His veto message
is a mass of Inconsistency, and lacks truth IN
all its essential declarations"
