II is satisfactory to learn that Colonel
C. j. Murphy, European agent of the
United States department of agriculture,
reports a continued and increasing de-
mand for American cornmeal food prod
nets. This is especially true of Germany,
where the problem Of cheap Subsistence
for human beings is SO serious a one. At
the same time we must not forget that
the increased demand is greatly owing
to the patriotic efforts Of "Cornmeal
Murphy" himself.

Washington,s Birthday.

To morrow is Washington's birth
day The anniversary will not be
especially observed by any public
function here or in the schools, as it
formerly was, other than it will be a
holiday. The time is well remem-
bered when the event was never al
lowed to pass without celebration
in which were many features of a
display of Notwithstanding
that would mark the event as one of
great Importance.
This is the lend annual return of
Washington's birthday. Americans
will keep his memory alive forever.
Our country has and has had among
its statesmen many noble and wor-
thy men whose names and good deeds
should not be forgotten and whose
memories should live forever in the
hearts of grateful and iiberty-lov-
ing people. OF all these, Washing
ton stands pre-eminently at the head.
Naturally, and very rightly, he holds
the first place in our thoughts and
in our patriotic affections. The an
niversary of his birth has long been
legal holiday, and if not observed
with the same demonstrations of en-
thusiasm that mark the Glorious
Fourth, is yet enough of an event to
turn our minds towards this great
and commanding figure in American
history, to keep before us the noble
character and to stimulate within us
truer love of our country, together
with broader and higher devotion
to those principles of human liberty
for which Washington and our faith
ers fought.

WAS HE INNOCENT.
COl0red Man Dies In the Penitentiary
Asserting His Innocence
Waynesburg Republican.

George Mason, colored, died Sat
urday at the Western Penitentiary,
where he was serving sentence of
eight years imposed upon him by
the Greene county court for the
crime of murder. Mason was sent 10
the penitentiary in 1889 H and
his two sons, Jesse and Emery were
at first implicated in the crime. 1t
was an interesting case and the evi.
denee was entirely circumstantial.
About five years ago Ellis John,
of Waynesburg, disappeared. His
body was found in Ten Mile creek
with a bruise on the head, which
physicians decided had been infict-
ed before death. He was last seen
on the afternoon of the day he dis
appeared, drinking with George Ma
son and went home with him. Upon
the discovery of the body the Ma
sons were arrested.
They claimed that John left their
house early in the evening. Many
believe this and think that John
was so drunk he did not know where
be was going and fell into the creek
which was only about rs yards from
Mason's house. He had threatened
to commit suicide a number of times
and some think he took his own life.
A neighbor woman testified to hav
ing heard a row in the Mason house,
and 1t was charged that John was
killed in drunken quarrel, aud the
Masons placed his body in the creek.
AT the trial the attorneys for the
Masons consented to a conviction of
murder in the second degree for
George Mason and his son Emery,
the other son to be acquitted The
jury was so charged, and that YER
diet rendered. George was sentenc-
ed to eight years in the penitentirry.
Emory Mason completed his sen
tence OF four years, and was releas-
ed.
George Mason had been sick but
two days, his death resulting from
pneumonia The day before be was
stricken with the fatal illness he
talked with Warden E. S. Wright.
He told him about the circumstances
under which he was convicted and
lifting up his right hand he sale.
Before Almighty God, ! am not
guilty" Mason was superintendent
of the white wash gang in the pris
on and Warden Wright spoke of
him in the highest terms, saying
that he always gave perfect obedi-
ence.

The TariG Esisl

The news that comes from Wash
ingson these days seems to be just
any way you want ton the take
your choice order. But from a source
that is considered ia every way reli
able it is learned that the tariff bill
will he reported in the Senate this
week, possibly to-day. just what
will be done with the bill is moi
known, but this same authority
gives this brief outline, on the NOR,
important points. THAT decision
has been come to to extend the
bonded period on whisky and in
crease the tax to $l.20 per gallon; to
put duty on coal and to leave tbs
iron schedule as it is in the House
bill. The question Of a sugar duty
is still unsettled" If this is the
program the country simply hopes
that it will be made speedily effective
in fact, let the dallying committee
do anything they propose to do
whether every body is suited or not
and do it quickly; that's the pres
emit hone.

There were several important
questions which confronted the ma
nicipal statesmen during the course
of their deliberations on Monday
evening First and foremost in gen
eral interest was the question of a
street lighting contract. as the
awarding of it will decide whether
the streets during the next year will
be lighted by gas or electricity. The
electric light company had DO pro
position in however, and the matter
was deferred. The gas company
submitted a proposition, which was
that their present contract, which
expires in March, be continued for
two years, at $40 per light per year
for the go or 20 lights now used up
on the streets of the town 1t is
thought that by the next meeting
the electric light people will tell
what they will light the streets for.
The question Of putting on a per.
manent policeman to assist the ser

aud continued the orator, the coal

ing the above incidents, adds this
poetic comment.
who may tell how the hearts of

or that comes to this brave, true and
patriotic gentleman, eminent alike
for his modesty and distinguished

The House Appropriations Com
mittee is said to have matters well
in hand and considerably in the
lead Of the other committees having
charge Of appropriation bills. AS
far as the committee has gone tho
indications point to con
siderable in the way of ex-
peDse for the next fiscal year. The
four bills already reported carry a
total appropriation of nearly $25,-
100000 less than provided for the
current year. The fortiicatiou bill
provides for S2,2l9,654, the pension
bill, 1851, $40; the District Of
Columbia bill, S5,157,573; the sun
dry civil bill, 32,306,3S2. The
largest saving made in any of these
measures is in the pension bill
which carries $16,000,000 less thar
for the current year. The SAINT
percentage of reductions with th,
other bills will bring the saving NJ
to about $40,000,000 Voters should
