MRS. NJ. S. ADAMS BAILED.
She Must Answer to the Grand jury
Mailing Three Obscene Letters

She Must Answer to the Grand jury for
Mailing Three Obscene Letters.
The case of Mrs Martha s. Adams, who,
g stated exclusively in yesterdays
Times, is charged with violating Section
3S93, OF the revised statutes, by sending
obscene letters through the mail to f. 6.
Ryan, was tried before United States
Commi ssioner Mills yesterday after
noon.
Mrs. Adams has niece, Miss Mary Ellen
Ward, who has for some time past been
engaged to marry Mr.. Edward s. Ryan, a
carpenter, living at No. 1910 Eighth
street northwest. Miss Ward has re-
sided with her aunt at No. 946 West
minister street since the death of her mother
about eight years ago, and the story is that
Mrs. Adame objects to MIR. Ryan as a
nephew -in-law, and in order 10 induce
him to change his mind, mailed him three
anonymous Letters, all stating that his
fiance was guilty of immortality and several
other offenses.
Mr. Ryan, instead OF allowing the letters
TO cause any enlargement between him
self and Miss Ward, Immediately set on
foot an investigation, which resulted in
the arrest OF Mrs. Adams yesterday.
Mr.. Ryan was the first to testify. He
said that he had received two of the let
ters referred to, the other communication
having been sent to his mother, Mrs. Har-
riett s. Ryan. Upon receiving them
he notified the Post-office Department,
and they promptly investigated the matter
Mrs. Ryan corroborated her sons
testimony, saying that she had received
the third communication.
Miss Ward was then called to the stand
and testified that SHE had lived with her
aunt for several years, and was perfectly
familiar with her handwriting, and she
further declared that the letters were
written by her aunt. She said that her aunt
had threatened. when she heard of her
engagement to Mr.. Ryan, to make her
sorry and ashamed.
Lewis Tolliver, colored caterer, who
serves meals TO one of the occupants of
No. 946 Westminster street, identified a
letter as one that Mrs. Adams had given
him TO mail during February
Capt. JamesE. Bell, of the city post-office,
was present and identified the letters as
having passed through the mails by the
marks upon the envelopes.
Mrs. Adams was held in $500 bonds
for the action of the grand jury, and Miss
Emily Smith-Cook, who resides in the
same house with the defendant, became
her surety. Miss Ward now resides at
No. 1425 Eighth street northwest, having
left her aunts home.

seldom made as to who In reality com.
pose the creditor class in this country,
It is usually said to comprise the bond
holders. the mdllionadres, the large
capitalists and the great merchants,
who have their money employed in a
thousand ventures, and not only their
money, but their credit also. But these
do not constitute the true creditor
class. The real creditor class, which
Should always demand the best money
that is possible to be obtained, and
with which can buy the largest supply
for its wants, consists Of the people
who work for wages. Day by day they
become creditors and day by day o
and more money is due them. Whether
they are paid weekly or monthly or
quarterly, pay day is no sooner past
than they again become creditors, and
again have to trust their employers
until pay day NM around again.
They are the men and women who
labor on the streets, In the shops,
In the counting rooms and in the Offices
throughout the country everywhere.
They are those who receive a fixed
stipend for a term of service, be 1t
short or long. These are the persons
who are interested, above all others,
in the beet money and in honest mon
ey; in the dollar that will be as good
abroad as 1t Is at home, and IS as
available next year as 1t is today.
They are the last persons who should
prefer a 5O-cent dollar to one worth a
hundred cents!

ing the county court to place a bridge
over the Lewis and Clarke river, and
also TO provide a steam ferry or build
a hrldge across Young's river, so as
to connect the road from Clatsop

with this city. This road was opened
tbrcJtth to the Plains some three years
ago, and has become one Of the most
Important highways In the county.

The claim is made by those circulating
the petition that If the county can be
got to promise the desired facilities for
crossing the rivers named, every far
mer living along the road will sign a
petition for the improvement of the
road under the provisions of the Cross
law. 1t is said the county court Is in
olined to grant the petition, provided
1t has the endorsement of a fair pro-

matter In charge, and place their

HISTORY.

II should be remembered that after
the Democratic party signally lost the
confidence Of the people during the war
for the Union ard the reconstruction
period following, and was uniformly
and overwhelmingly beaten in every
election, a great MANY OF the party
marlagers Thought they saw a method
of success and u way to establish them
selves in owe by entering upon a
-demagoglcal, corrupt, and dishonest
course as to money. They Thought the
PEOPLE would accept any sort Of dis
honest financial humbuggery. And
Democratic leaders all over the conn
try fell into political d%ebauchery and
were ready to profess any measure of
lunacy or d%iehonesty THAT they fam
cled the people could be fooled with
and by which they could get into pow
err. The result was utter and AFFECT
failure. Even Democrats helped break
their parity to pieces because OF this
program of dishonesty, folly, danger
and political depravity,
Now the Democrats have again lost
puddle confidence by the results of
their free trade experiments, which
have oveTthrown business prosperity
and the employment OF labor, and
being numerically beaten at the polls
recently, their managers have turned
to the same recours THAT they did at
the period above referred to, There
Is some uncertainty in the public
Thought regarding financial policies,
and the Democratic managers, trying
to take advantage OF this in the hope
OF again getting into power, are ready
to advocate any form Of monetary
policy, however dishonest, depraved, or
demagogic, which they have the least
hope the people can be got to adopt.
and which, as a new political issue,
will serve TO make the people overlook
the disastrous failure Of the measures
they have heretofore proposed, and
for which they have been 80 over
wheamangly rejected and beaten. These
Democlatic managers are making the
same mistake they made during and
following the war. They are no more
able now TO persuade the American
people to utter dishonesty and hnan-
ciai lunacy than they were In their
like attempt a quarter Of a century
ago.
