THE CHURCH MURDER.
Somewhat Sf n Change Of Sentiment In the
Noted San Francisco Case.

Somewhat Of n Change of Sentiment In the
Noted San Francisco Case.
SAN Francisco. April 19-Theodore
Durant was very cheerful yesterday
morning and greeted everyone with
whom he came in contact with smile
and \ pleasant word The change in
the conduct of the accused man is
probably caused by the belief that the
police have exhausted every mine of
information against him. The search
ing of the church is finished and no
further evidence has been brought to
light.
Police Surgeon Somers visited him
yesterday morning to study his actions,
in anticipation of a plea of insanity
when the case is brought to trial DIR.
Somers says that Durant shows no
signs of an unbalanced mind; in fact,
he spoke with intelligence on every
subject that was brought up.
A slight reaction in public opinion
has set in in favor of Durant, brought
about, no doubt, by the testimony Of
those who witnessed his cool actions
after the discovery of the body. On
the other hand. the circumstantial evil
dence against Durant is so strong that
something else will have to be done to
remove from the minds of many people
the impression that he is the guilty
man

A year ago society had called John,
Viscount Evesham, aged tifty-tive. a
fool to saddle his wealth ard his free
dom with mere girl as wife; but mis-
bride had been so sweet, so gracious,
so innocently pleased with her new
surroundings, and so unaffected, that
at the beginning of this her second sea-
son the most cynical had voted the
marriage a success and the young Wis
countess an acquisition.
Lord Evesham adored his wife, yet
with that tentative worship, that love
tinged with doubt, which must always
be where the adorer is speeding swift
" down life's hill and the object of
alteration is every day growing more
lovely and more desirable.
His first few months of married life,
when, as a bride, Lady Evesham had
won widespread and open admiration,
had been torture to him. Even now
his self-depreciatory doubts were only
lulled to slumber by the perfectly
blameless conduct of his wife.
"rm sorry to have kept you waiting,
my dear" he began, with old-fash-
toned courtesy, "but the morning was
SO fine l made sure you would prolong
your ride"

A SAD FAILURE
Effects OF Democratic Rule In the Large
Cities.

The fact that the large cities of the
country, most of which have heretofore
been democratic, are becoming repub-
lican one after another is interesting
and significant. 1t will not do to say
that these striking changes are acct
dental, or attribute to different local
causes. They all have the same mean
ing, manifestly, and are to be regarded
from the same point of view. The fact
is well understood that the people are
aroused upon the subject of municipal
misgovernmenta and the necessity of re-
form in that respect. In all the large
cities where the democratic party has
had control of affairs, there has been a
condition of general corruption and
shameful neglect of the public inter
ests. The bosses and the boodlers
have taken possession of the machinery
of government and operated it to their
own advantage, regardless of justice,
honesty and decency. Revelations of
systematic fraud and plumber on the
part of these political bandits have
opened the eyes of intelligent and rep
utable citizens to the grave peril that
such facts involve, and they are taking
steps to improve the situation.
1t is evident that the voters who are
thus resolved to bring about better
state of things in the large cities believe
that the surest way to accomplish their
object is to introduce republican rule.
The record of the republican party for
capacity and integrity in the manage
ment of public business is one that
fully justifies this view. 1t has uni
formly administered such trusts in a
successful way, carefully guarding
against the abuses that have invaria-
bly, attended democratic rule. The idea
of ignoring politics and adopting the
non-partisan method of eradicating
municipal evils is one that has failed
as often as it has been tried, and the
people are not disposed to waste time
and energy in further experiments of
that kind. They recognize the fact
that parties are indispensable, and
that practical and substantial resultR
cannot be achieved without such in.
strumentalities for the assimilation
and concentration of the forces which
carry elections and execute policies
and purposes. The democratic party
has been fully tested in this relation
and found to be disappointment anil
a calamity. That is why an Opportunf-
ty is now being given to the republican
party to redeem the large cities from
their besetting political disorders anil
substitute clean and correct govern
ment for that which is extravaganza
dishonest, and in every way deplora-
ble.-St Louis Globe-Democrat.

SOLDIERS HOME.
The Board of Managers Consider the
LeavenwOrth Case.

The Board of Managers Consider the
LeavenwOrth Case.
WASHINGTON, April 19.-The board of
managers of soldiers homes discussed
for some time yesterday the situation
at the Leavenworth home. The trou-
BILE there is the subject report made by
a special subcommittee of the board
last year. At the meeting some months
ago this report was considered and
the board appeared divided on the mat
ter of ousting the higher officials there
and putting others in their places.
1t was the opinion of half of the
board that the best way to stop the
trouble between the governor of the
home, Col. Smith. and the secretary
and treasurer, Maj. ShOckley, would
be to ask for designations of both. But
no action was taken, and the mutual
friends of Smith and Shockley made
an effort to bring about n recOncilia-
ton, and it has been intimated to the
board by the friends of both that the
trouble would likely remain buried IL
nothing more was done. 1t seems that
this representation was made to the
members of the board at the present
meeting, and it was concluded to take
no further action on the special report
made at this meeting.

The Rise In the Price of Oil Has Stimulated
the Search for the Article.
TOLEDO, o., April 19.-The number
of new rigs that are being erected in
the northwestern Ohio field is some
thing enormous and if the price of the
crude product holds up anywhere
near what it is now the oil trade will
make this by far the greatest year in
the history of the Trenton limestone
field. People who never had an idea
of embarking in the oil business are
out hustling for leases. There is fas-
cination about the oil industry that
catches them all and when once in It
they are there to stay. Every outgoing
train in the direction of the country is
loaded down with passengers. Ten
barrel territory is now considered very
valuable by the trade which is
hustling after it. On Saturday last
the shipments of Lima crude by the
Buckeye Pipe Line Co. amounted to
S4,119 barrels. The runs were 113, 543
barrels. The large runs are accounted
for by the selling of oil of those par.
ties who were holding for better prices.
The shipments were very large, and if
they average that for any length of
time the surplus will diminish very

POLITICAL DRIFT.

The democratic party has invited
the rich to put their money into
bloated bonds instead of manufacture
ing plants, to give employment to the
people. 1t taxes the latter, not the
fermer.-Iowa State Register.

Cleveland's salary, if he claims no ex-

prevalent idea is at fault, he has money
to shoot at the birds.-Chicago Trib-

Is 1t is fact of considerable signif-
canoe that there isn't a man in the
democratic party who feels it necessa-

many statesmen in that party had to
sit up O. nights to write letters de-
clining nominations which there never
was any thought of bestowing upon
them.-N. Y. Tribune.
Another Allison boom is now in its
incipiency. The senator's friends have
once more put their heads together to
devise ways and means by which they
can secure for him the presidential
nomination in 1896. This time, it is said,
their efforts will be on a systematic
basis. The plans by which they hope to
corner the delegates have not developed
to the publication stage, but those who
are connecting them hope to have bet

DEMOCRATS TAKE NOTICE.
Tin Plate Truths for Free Trade Fan

Tin Plate Truths for Free Trade Fan
atIcs.
Look here, you democratic editors
and stump speakers.
A few short years ago you said thu
plate could not be made in this coun-
try.
You ridiculed every plant that was
established.
You said they were erected for CAM
paign purposes.
You said it was all being done for
political effect.
You lied about the matter and de-
ceived your readers and hearers.
You said tin plate was not then mads
and never would be made in this coun-
try.
Now what do you think of it?
There are now 156 tin plate mills Ia
operation or under construction in thu
United STATES.
And there are more So projected.
And now for some figures taken
from democratic records.
The aggregate output of the mills
now and soon to be in operation is 30
600 boxes each per annum.
This means an aggregate output of
1850, 900 boxes in all.
When the projected mills are COM
pleted tho total annual output will
reach 6,420,0 boxes, or enough to
supply the home market.
That, Mr.. Democrat, is a result of
republican protection.
1t is a result achieved in spite of
democratic falsehoods and sneering
predictions of failure.
1t is a result of legislating in the In
terest of America and Americans.
If there were such a thing as shame
in the democratic party it would hang
its head at the growth of this infant
ndustry-Toledo Blade.

the weary hours through, and it was
very ghost of Lady Evesham who
slipped her chocolate next morning and
broke the seals of half dozen letters.
Suddenly the blood rushed to her
pale face. She sat upright among her
lace-trimmed pillows. A common en-

INCOME TAX RECEIPTS.
A Belief That the Receipts VIII Reach the
Estimates.

WASHINGTON, April 19.-It is authori-
tatively stated at the treasury depart
ment that reports of collectors so far
received show that the amount of in.
come tax receipts no doubt will reach
the estimate made before the decision
of the supreme court was rendered.
This is interpreted to mean about S15,-
900, 900. No information as to the num-
Der and amount of returns already re-
ported would be given out. Much to
the surprise and annoyance of the
officials, information reached the de-
partment that income tax returns were
still being offered and asked for in
structions. Several returns were Of
fered to the collector for this city, and
he was instructed to receive them sub
ject to whatever action might be
decided upon later.
