MIR. cLEvELANp.s INFLUENCE

NIX. CLENELAND'S INFLUENCE.
The conference OF whitney, German,
shcclian and other leading .'sound money"
Democrats, simultaneous with the publica-
tion OF The Cleveland Interview, indicates
that tremendous effort will be made to
control the Chicago cony ention in the inter-
ests OF the money barons. The movement
is late, inasmuch as The Democracy Of a
large number of States las already de-
clared for free silver but as soon as the
money bags argument of the goldites Can
find resting place iii the pockets of sus-
cepiible Democratic local leaders there
will be change of sentiment in favor Of
sound money" as there was four years
ago. when Mr.. Cleveland was nominated.
There is nothing comforting in the Demo-
cratic situation, if the leadership of the al
legged Cleveland Democracy is TO continue.
The party would be without hope of sue
cess and its prospects as cherries as the
gloom of bottomless pit. Unlike the Re-
publican 'sound-money'' situation, the Demo-
cratic party without free silver has neither a
campaign Issue with which toattract voters
nor a reputable record to point to "wita
the finger of pride" The Cleveland admin
istration has added more than S50O,o0o.-
900 Ia our public debt, and is also burdened
with the stigma of having sold bonds at
t.,en ttr.r "a kit,r-
SELF 10 redeem his pledges and prosecute the
communism of peif," Mr.. Cleveland has al
lowed the antitrust law to become moth
eaten for want of use, and the ''graspiDg
corporations,'' of which he so bitterly COM
planned during his last campaign, have in-
creased in numbers and power until they
now control both the legislative and execu-
tive branches of the National Government.
With sound money as its campaign
slogan, Mr.. Cleveland has also, through
his last published interview, unwitting.y
placed a convincing campaign argument
in the hands of the Republican party. 1t
is one that will drive silver Democrats
from the support of the Democratic or
gauization in the event OF sound
money platform at Chicago, and will
act as boomerang to Democratic Sue
cess should the silvcrites control that
convention. As a political Jonah, Mr..
Cleveland has proved himself star of
tla first ma mappitude His action in urging
his cohorts to capture the Chicago con-
vention adds largely to his hitherto bril-
liant reputation in that capacity, and should
his influence prevail il will need something
more potent than Gabrie!'s trumpet TO
rally the scattered Democratic hosts after
the November election.

STREET EXTENSION APPEAL

TO TAKE NEW LEGAL STEP
Adjournment of Congress without Re-
lieving the Uncertainty of the Sit
Final Judicial Observation-Disclosures
Officials Verbally informed.

The fact that Congress adjourned its
recent session without relieving the unter-
tainty attending the street extension pro-
ceedinss has revived Il discussion Ct Il
probable appeal Of the case iTum the cec!s-
ion or the District court of appeals. and it
IS today learned frtm excellent authority
that that step is actually IN contemplate II

unal OF final Jurisdiction.

tereSts were involved in the proceedings

stood that the District will also appeal from
the decision in respect to assessments and

upon ali tue points involved in the con-
troyerSy
President Ross was questioned by The
Times today concerning the rumor of ap-
peal. He had not been advised of it, Ire
said. and preferred not to discuss it III
advance of a board meeting.
Attorney Thomas was also interviewed,
but had not time To discuss the question
He aGmIttcu, however, that he had received
verbal notice OF the appeal. and that he is
considering the matter from the District
standpoint.
The point which seems to render the ap-
peal necessary was stated today by an at
torney for the property owners thus:
Congress passed Ia W. one of the pro-
visions Of which is that certain improve
ments shall he made. and providing assess
mentS for damage and benefits. The courts
say that provision cannot be enforced.
Hence it is that the whole issue is rrac-
tically undecided, and the people remain in
state OF uncertainty and tc the same ex-
tent that they were before
Besides, Congress practically says that
as the clause which exempted the govern
ment from all responsibility is declared to
be imperative. no money will be appropri-
ated. The recent session adjourned with
Out making an appropriation, and am sat-
isfied none will be made as long as there IS
any doubt about the validity of the law,or
any part OF it,
IL Is stated this afternoon by one OF the
counsel that the matter of appeal viii
be definitely settled tomorrow. BY others
interviewed no doubt was expressed that
the case is to be carried up and that The
appeal will be duly noted tomorrow morn

THEY SHOULD COME TOGETHER.


1t would be a great pity If the free
public library movement in this city We're
TO be marked by anita goDisIns among those
who have been largely instrumental in
calling it into life and bringing it to its
present growth. While, of course, a city
more than one such library, yet in the
beginning all efforts ought to be con-
centrated to the end that an effective
start may be made. When the library
bill was first considered in committee it
was animated that upon its passage the
books of the Washington Free Library
Association would serve as nucleus for
the new institution. The way the matter
looks now it appears that personal jeal-
ousies threaten to prevent that co-opera-
would have been conducive to its imme-
diate success.
No appropriation of any kind having been
made by Congress in support of the un-
dertaking, the people of the District not
even being permitted to use portion of the
taxes palu py tnem, the stocking or the
library shelves must depend upon the en-
lightened generosity of private individuals.
The trustees to be appointed by the Com
nissioners may contribute of their own
means, or may induce their friends TO put
the library in working order, but it would be
most desirable if the existing differences
between the two promoters could
be so adjusted as TO bring all parties to-
gether in harmonious cooperation. There
should be no occasion for saying that the
first attempt to establish a free public IL
5rary III Washington fell short OF a complete
success by the rivalries and jealousies of
the people who had been most active in
promoting the establishment of so useful an
Institution.

TESTIMONY OF EXPERTS.

An anecdntc is current-not new one
by any means, bat none the less applicable
that an expert was once called upon 10
testify in n lawsuit. After the subject
matter in dispute had been explained l"
him lie declared that he would have no
trouble At all to come to u correct conclu-
sion as soon as he knew ON which side
he was expected To testify. The more the
public hears and reads OF this sort OF eyi-
dence, whether it relates to the sanity OF
a criminal or the chr0graphy OF a legal
document, the less credit it is likely to
give 10 it, From the time of the Guiteau
case tu the present there has hardly been
n murder trial, either here or elsewhere,
in which the defendant was able tn em-
plny astute counsel and had ample means
for witness fees, that the theory OF his
insanity has not been SET up ami been made
the battle-ground for n edical men who make
specially of diseases of the mind. And
so with experts in handwriting. Only
few days ago man accused OF murder
in New York was acquitted on the testi-
mony of an expert i'll handwriting, who
also gave evidence in famous case in
this city not long ago.
These men are selected by the rrosecu-
ton or the defense, by plaintiff or de-
rendant, as the case may be, because of
their recognized ana acknowledged ability
in their respective professions Having de-
voted much time and study to the subjects
concerning which their opinions are sought,
these, it would seem, should he correspond
ingly valued 1t must be confessed how
ever, tina; the very reverse has come to
pass Neither courts, nor counsel, nor jury
regard expert testimony very highly, and
the suspicion is entertained that lawyers
| employ experts chiefly in the hope of be-
ing able to befuddie the judgment OF the
twelve ''good men and true" 1t hap
pened not so very long ago in rather
famous criminal case that the presiding
judge after having listened to the medical
experts on both sides, had u specialist of his
own acquaintance examine the prisoner
aud upon that experts opinion based that
part of his charge which related to the de-
fendant's mental condition.
Expert testimony is probably an excellent
thing-for the experts, but its actual value
is a subject of considerable specula ,ion and
difference of opinion.

Richmond, Texas, April 49,
Miss Emma Sommerville was today
shot down and killed by a man
who protested to so love her that
he wanted her to marry him and
that man was her own cousin, AL
bert Sommerville, aged 20, Young
Sommerville's home is at Tusca-
loosa, Ala, but his father sent him
to Texas and he came here to his
uncle, Miss omme.ville left the
postoffice, where she was clerk, to
go home. Albert Joined her on the
way. When near the house he
pulled revolver from his pocket
and placing it against her temple
fired a bullet iptp her brain, caus-
ing instant deay4.. She fell and the
murderer fired another, bullet into
her head and at the same time fell
across the corpse, A brother of
the girl saw the affair and ran out
with his shot gun to kill the muir
derer but'his mother, thinking AL
bert had suicided, prevented him
shooting. When he found he was
safe from death the young murder
err arose and walked into town
where he was arrested.
A crime like the above should be
swiftly punished. The young girl
was to have been married in few
weeks to yoang man of Richmond
He would be justified in shooting
the young murderer down on sight
even if it be in the court room in
the presence Of the judge. AS under
our present system Of court pre-
ceedure it will be a year or more
before the case comes up for final
settlement, and even then the fiend
might get off with term in the
penitentiarY.

A Boom in Rat Traps.

HIT Wuneburger has been doing
land Office business in wire rat
traps. The trap is made of wire
aud is about foot and half long.
The bait is placed in the lower part
and the rats enter by drop door
which closes as soon as they enter,
imprisoning them. 1t is the neat
est thing out. Mr. Wuneburger
caught twelve in one trap in one
night. When a rat enters he goes
to work on the bait and his kin
folks come along and see him hav-
ing such good time and want to
break in and mix things with him.
They generally do. Minard Kotse-
bue had one of the traps on exhibit
ton in front-of his store Saturday
which contained nine rats, the re-
suit Of one nights catch. DR. We'd
dington's dog dispatched them in
short order. The same kind Of
traps have been for sale in Sinner,
and are making it hot for the mar
rauders. There are two species of
rats here. The dark, slate-colored
rat and the brown rat, The former
grow to an enormous size and eats
up the brown rat whenever he gets
hungry. Shut them up together
for two or three days and the
brown rats will mysteriously dis
appear, while the black rats will
get fat. These latter are hard Gus
toners, and will steal eggs, chick
ems, little pigs and everything else
they can get hold Of. They say q
rat will hold an egg in his fore
paws and then fall over on his back
and squeal for help. Another rat
or two will then run up and catch
the first rat by the tail and SO draw
him off. They can even be dragged
up wall that way. There are no
flies on these rats exceptwhen they
r IN against wire trap.
