All three of the hotels were brought
under contribution yesterday Land
lords f. A. Tyler and Geo. Il. Rich
ards of the Brooks and American were
taken in the morning. the papers be-
ing served by Sheriff Starkey, on a
states attorneys complaint for being
common sellers. - Both promptly
appeared before Justice Newton, after
consultation with counsel. and took
their medicine, pleading guilty and
paying fine of 500 each and costs,
amounting to Sl09 81. This is the
fine fixed by statute for that charge,
and if they had stood trial, proof OF
five oifenses would have been sufficient
TO make them out common sellers.
The only difference practically is mat
it isn't quite so awkward as Il straight
prosecution for selling in making a
record of first ofienses as mllr
post towards the House of Correction.
In the afternoon Landlord H. u.
Haus of the Brattleboro house had u
pleasant little call by Sheriff Gordon.
and he went up and went through the
same process, 5l09.5 IL worth.

have been by the states attorney hut

who made il, but says il was not the

The membership he has 70 handle.
He was of course nominated for
speaker by aclamation and with en-
thusiasm by the party caucus Satur-
day evening. His speech of accpet
ance pointed to IA do-nothiug policy.
He gave an assurance, without enter
ing into particulars, that an adequate

the high taritfitcs by observing that
we have now "a divided government

There is no doubt that this is the
shrewd est policy for the Republicans,
nd whatever Reed thinks best is
pretty likely to be done under the
policy he has inaugerated and his
party has endorsed But u won't be
done without lot of high kicking,
and the way the creed rules have of
suppressing anything but the masters
will only add to the ugliness of the
kicking as we'll as its futility. A

phatic declaration that Mistake No. |

The astute senate Republicans are
proceeding lcisurcly with their cau-
cussing, but apparently they are going
to organize tn" senate and trade for

one of the most sensational dcnouc
mcnts in the history of criminal luris
prudence. and one that is probably alb
solutcly without precedent, came Mon
day at New York city in the case Of
w. l.. S. Langerman. IA bill collector
and lawyers assistant, who was con-
victcd before Recorder Golf last week
of rape ON Barbara Aub, when she
called at his rooms last May as a book
agent. The conviction was secured
chiefly on the testim ony of the woman
and friends and a police surgeon who
saw bruises on her person Just after
the affair. He admitted connection
with her, but denied the rape, claim
| ing it was by her consent, and there
were some circumstances to support
him, especially in the fact that none
of the other tenants of the block heard
any cutlery from her or any indications
of a struggle. But she told her story
in so consistent and straightforward
manner as to convince both Judge and
jury, and the latter were out less than
an hour in finding the verdict, aud
Recorder Golf bore down upon the man
most severely in his charge, almost
directing a verdict. Langcrman was
brought up for sentence Monday, but
in the meantime the girl. who greeted
the verdict with an hystcrical laugh,
broke down at the mission house
where SHE was staying and confessed
to two women there that the story was
false. They went with her TO Judge |
Golf, who after severely questioning |
her, made her wait two days and then |
come to him again when she made the |
confession in writing. The strongest |
point for the prosecution had been
that no motive for falsehood, no at
tempt at blackmail or anything of the
kind, appeared on her part and there
is no motive for the confession ap
except repentance and desire
to undo the wrong she had done. She
explains her conduct only by saying
that she became afraid that she was To
become a mother as a result of the
embrace to which she had voluntarily I
submitted. and when she went to
for advice he only
laughed at her. telling her she had !

than book canvassing' and she was so
lurt at his brutality and SO anxious to :
excuse herself to friends that she told |

plus than this or any other govern

against the drain of the last two years.
But after all this is said it still re-
mains true, and that is the fair way OF
putting it. that the revenue deficit
would have made the bonds necessary
if the gold reserve hadn't done SO
ahead of it.
The presidents argument on the silver
question is unassaiiable so tar AS it
goes. But il stops just short OF where
it ought to, in not explicitly recognize
ing the need and the rightfulncss of
international bimetallism, His
position is really that of the single
gold standard. He is Enthusiastically
right in declaring that independent
free coinage of silver by this country
means silver monometalism and that is
certainly not what VIC want But the
sound money argument is always
awakened by shutting out Of view the
larger aspects of the subject, and its
AS a''world question, as
Harrison aptly styled it. And it ought
to be the work of American statesman
ship at every opportunity to do every
thing possible to further its settle
ment on an international basis ON the
lines of strength and prosperity. which
are those of international bimctalIsm.
