THE LAW INSUFFICIENT.

Bellinger, Who Sold Little Arthur LIZ
mour Into Slavery, Went Free
VICTORIA, B. c., February 6.-Peter
Bellinger, who sold little Arthur Lamour
into slavery among the Chuckelsat In
dams, walked out of the Supreme Court
this afternoon free man. The defense
was that the crown could not prove that
the boy had been kidnapped or that ne
vas not Bellinger's son, and under the
peculiar wording of the statute Justlca
Drake decided that there was no law to
convict. Bellinger wanted to take the
boy from court, but the Justice denleo
him the right to his custody until he
could prove the boy was his. The police
have not been able to obtain any evil
dence from Michigan. Bellinger may
be rearrested for obtaining money under
false pretenses.

Knox, Mullen and Compton Dismissed


WOODLAND, CAL, February 6.-When
the cases of Knox, Mullen and Compton
of the strikers were called to-day Dis
trict Attorney Hopkins said he had con-
suited many heavy taxpayers and all OF
them had advised him, in view OF the
improbability of securing conviction, to
dismiss the cases. Judge Grant salt
that when juries refused to convict
upon the testimony OF three eye-Tlt'
nesses it was not probable that they
would convict where the testimony only
tended to connect the defendants with
the actual Preparations Of crime. Judge
Armstrong thought that if the jury had
been put in charge of the sheriff diff
ferent verdict might have been reached
But the court thought that the result
would have been the same had the jury
been in charge of the Almighty. In &C.
cordance with the motion OF the District
Attorney, tbs defendants were dis
charged.

Ii Is IRREGULAR"

Our ssgold bug friends are busy
the people that the convention,
which Is to be held at Pertle Springs,
on August 9th, is irregular; that
because of this ~irregularity the plat
form will have no binding effect, and a
lot of other ''stuff" with which they
expect t. fool and deceive.
The convention which meets at
Pertle Springs is as regular as the con-
vention which was held at Kansas
City last year, and the platform will
have the same binding effect.
1t was called by the regular author
lied committee.
1t was called in the regular way.
The representation will be the same.
The delegates will be selected in the
same manner.
1t will be conducted upon the same
basis.
1t was called at the request of demo-
Gratis of nearly one hundred counties.
No convention Of greater significance
has been held in this state in thirty
years.
1t will not be the politicians conveu-
ton, but was called at the request of
the rank and file of the party, and will
be controlled by them,
1t will not nominate any candidates,
and will not be hampered by the
schemes of official aspirants.
The democrats will meet, discuss
the issues fairly and s~quarely, and
their decision will bind the party in
this state until that decision is changed
By another regular convention.
No convention in recent years has as
truly represented the party as will this
one.
1t will be q regular convention held
by democrats for democrats. II the
gold bugs intend to bolt they had

d. Ou uudTu.
Under the above caption editor
Stratton, Of the Sedalia Democrat, has
this to say, which should be considered ::
The advocates of silver coinage in
Missouri must not suffer themselves to
be lulled to sleep by the declaration of
the gold standard men that they will
make no fight to carry the state.
Those who indorse the policy of MIR.
Cleveland, Secretary Carlisle and SEN
t Sherman will certainly put up the
best hight they can make, whatever
may be the declarations to the contrary.
They are at work now.
They are sending out s%.literature"
by the car load.
They will be thoroughly organized
and will be present at the primaries in
full force.
They will have no iambeau clubs,
no brass bands in the campaign.
They will indulge in but little oratory,
for they know that an open fight would
arouse the democracy, bring out a full
vote and bury them out Of sight.
But they will work quietly, and by
making a still hunt capture as many
counties as possible and then claim
that the anti-silver men sent as del
egates were the result of the spon-
taneous action of the people, and that
a few weeks canvass would have
carried the state.
Democrats who vet believe IN the
wisdom OF the oft-declared party doc
trine of gold aud silver coinage; DEM
ocrats who endorse past party plat
forms and who approve Of the course
of their senator's and congressman ON
this question; democrats who hope to
see the masses of the people win a
substantial victory in 1896, and Who
believe that bimetallism is necessary to
the continued prosperity OF the coun-
try, must be alert, active, sleepless.
Every mar who is opposed to the
single gold standard must GO to work
now and work until the 9th of August
to make the declaration Of the Missouri
democracy unanimous.
A still hunt was the only hope of
the single gold standard advocates and
it a be worked as successfully by
August 9th as it could by October 18th.
Watch the primaries in every town.

THE EDIroKIAL CONVENTION.

"a
The editorial convention, which
meets at Sedalia July 23d, should be
attended by every democratic editor In
the state who favors free coinage.
Let no editor in sympathy with the
movement content himself at home
under the belief that.hs Is not needed
at Sedalis.
The gold bugs are sending out their
literature and doing all In their power
to place Missouri in the gold column.
On the other hand the free coinage
forces are not organized, and have no
plan for concerted action.
1t is useless for Us to fold our hands
and expect victory to perch upon our
banner without work. There is . great
principle at stake, and one that will
be settled In the near future. The
gold bugs are bold and defiant. They
have behind them the national admin
istration, the federal officials. the party
machinery and money in abundance.
They are going to fight for victory.
In this fight the forces for silver
must be marshalIed. Organization
must be perfected and much work
done. The editorial convention will
be conducted in the interest Of party
principle, not for party candidates.
Let wei editor who advocates the
unlimited coinage Of both gold and
silver attend the Sedalia meeting.
