The FiotIon Of Good old rImes.

To hear some OF our grsybeards talk
one would think that the good old
times when they were boys were far
better than those we now live 10, and
from the fearful tones Of voice with
which they recall "reminiscences Of those
alleged joyous days when people knew
how to live, etc, one would think that
he had made a mistake In entering on
the scene oflife at this end Of the nine =
teenth century.
A glance at the files OF papers pub
lished over half a century back, show a
rule Of high prices for almost all the
necessities Of life Flour at $12 barrel,
bacon at s5 cents pound aud other
things in proportion. There were no
railroads, telegraphs, steamships, tele
phones, electric lights, in fact none OF
the great inventions which add SO much
TO our enjoyment nowadays. 1t is true
whiskey was cheap. but even that would
not pay US for return to those days
The mutation in the price Of food and
drink, that has brought us cheaper
bread and meat and dearer whiskey Is
not altogether regrettSble.

RoBlNsONs ON TRIAL.
Both Husband and wife Have Confessed to
the Gibbs Murder.


the Gibbs Murder.
BUFFALO. March 12.-The jury to try
the two Robinsons in the superior court
was completed this morning, and the trial
began in earnest
The prisonevs-C Clarence and Sadie Rob-
inson-aro indicted for murder in the first
degree for the killing Of Montgomery
Gibbs, young lawyer, on Delaware ave-
nue a year ago This murder by reason
Of the prominence OF the victim and the
battling mystery which surrounded the
crime, created a sensation.
Mr.. Gibbs reiicent and inoffensive
citizen, was shot while walking alone up
fashionable residence street about 10
o'clock in the evening.
No arrests were made until several
months later the Buffalo police received
word from the police Of Cleveland that
they had Clarence Robinson under arrest
and had wormed out from his pals charge
Chat ho was implicated Id d Buffalo mar
der Assistant superintendent Cusack Of
the Buffalo police went to Cleveland and
arrested Rohinsons wife Sadie. who
thinking that her husband was TO be
charged with murder, confessed that She
killed Gibbs. She was brought to Blu Ia
10, but refused to give particulars. Ron
inson, learning that his wife was under
arrest in Buffalo Tor the Gibbs murder,
made a clean breast of the matter telling
how he and his wife had gone out to hold
up" somebody that night Sadie being
attired in mems clothes Gibbs had re-
sisted them, and in the tussle he had been
shot. Clarence Robinson was brought
here, where be has been jailed apart from
his wife ever since.
The district attorney has found the dis
guise which Sadie wore on the night and
other coroborative evidence and believes
he has a strong case. There are many
people here who believe that the Robin
sons are lying and had nothing to do with
the affair. Attorney W. W. Saperston will
defend both. The question whether the
confessions Of the Robinsons will be ad-
mitted by the court as evidence against
them or how much Of them and the curl
osity to SEQ the pair and hear what they
will say for themselves on the stand filed

Mr.. Edmunds Closes His Argument Before
the Supreme Court.
WAsHINGToN, March 12.--In the income
tax case Mr.. Edinunds closed with a plea
for equality in taxation. He declared it
to be the mission Of tho supreme court
the tribunal of last resort-to correct such
mistakes. ana made a last appeal for o re.
turn TO the principles Of equality and uni
form justice, even il in doing so 1t became
necessary for it TO reverse a former deci-
sion. Mr. Edmunds closed, and the court
adjourned as Attorney General Olney,
who is to speak next stated that the half
hour left was not sufficient for him.
Mr. Olney said, in reply to a question
from the court, that he should not require
mora than an hour more of time, while
Mr. Carter, who is to follow, said he
should desire to speak for about two hours
Mr. Choate who is TO close, said he
would probably ask for more than two
hours 1t is therefore probable that the
arguments will consume all the day today
and a large part Of Wednesday.

Enconrarement for PopnlIsts.

From the Springfield Republican
The trouble with Senator Kyle, OF South
Dakota. is that he is too Inpatient. He
expects too mt ch Populism and Socialism
from the Senate off hand, snd is not con
tent to wait the natural and logical
development towards his standpoint
which several recent performances OF
Congress indicate TO bs going on In that
body. What the Popnllsts are aiming at
Is thorough going system Of psternal
ism. They want the government TO do
for every body most Of those things which
communities and individuals Gr8 now in
the habit OF doing for themselves.
Senator Kyle asked the other day that
the United States undertake the
irrigation Of a part Of South D. kota. He
wanted the Treasury to furnish the
money to pay for the dams and ditches
and the engineers 20 lay them ont and
dig them. When Senator Vest objected
10 his resolution and tried to ridicule Il
by suggesting that the next thing south
akota farmers will want would be
that the government should harvest their
crops Kyle inconsisteutly forgot himself
and got angry. He should have kept
cool and told Vest that that was lust
what his farmer constituents did expect,
and then told the Senate that It had
passed some appropriations that very day
y hich we're just as purely Populistic as
/ the one he asked for tor irrigation.

ADJUSTMENTS.
pHrLApELPHIA THEATRES.
The system q PernIoloua one.

The Sunday Star suggests that local
storeksepers could add to their incomes
by introducing locked letter boxes, to
be rented to parties who have no salts
factory place to receive their mail, and
adds that New York, Chicago and other
cities have such en- arrangement.
They have, 1t is true, and the
authorities Of these cities have continual
trouble with these same letter boxes
They offer an inducement to faithless
husbands and wives to pursue their
amonrs In comparative safety, afford
swindlers, bogus concerns and green
goods men opportunity to ply their
nefArlous operations; gives the libertine
the means to entangle the foolish maiden
In the meshss of his web; in fact are
breeders Of immortality, vice and dis
honesty.
Parties who have no fitting place to
receive their mail have the option of
renting post Office box, where they are
to certain extent protected by the
United States Government and the
postmaster. Wilmington neither needs
nor desires a system OF private letter
boxes, and the very suggestion is n
dangerous one

The PreaIdentlnl Field.

From the Philadelphia Telegraph.
A New York contemporary Is discussing
Presidential booms Notwithstanding the
fact that the National Convention will
not meet for st least fifteen months
That seems a long way ahead, but it
would be mistake TO assume that the
scheming and planning Of Presidential
aspirauts have only just now begun. 1t
began as long ago as the night OF the 9th
Of November, 1892 Then the Republican
party suffered its worse defeat at the
hands Of its old enemy. II is quite safe
TO say that both General Harrison and
Governor Mckinley awoke next morning
with determination 70 put THAR fences
in good order against the next meeting Of
the National Republican Convention. In
this determination they were undoubtedly
strengthened by the election Of the fol.
lowing Fall, which even that early gave
almost unmistskable proofs that the
country had bitterly regretted the vic.
tory Of the Democrats and that It would
be reversed int 1896 This change OF
sentiment has not only made the former
aspirsnts more active and resolute, but
1t has put new ones In the field, among
them Mr. Reed and Mr. Allison. and TO
them, it Is said, Mr. Morton Is to be
added. No doubt there will be others
coming to the fore as the days 60 by
but 1t will probably have 40 effect upon
the fortunes Of any of them whether the
New York politicians plan and plan for
the nomination Of one or an other OF the
aspirants.
