No LAW AGAINST SNoRING.-Be.
cause he shores heavily in his sleep
John Barry was arrested on Wednes-
day at New Brunswick, N. j., on a
warrant charging him with disturbing
the peace. Martin Albert, cornetist,
made the charge against him. Albert
and several families occupy rooms
in an apartment house, and all
of them have been kept awake nights
by the heavy breathing of Barry, who
is also tenant in the same house.
None of those annoyed by Barry's
snoring knew where the noise came
from until Albert traced it to Barry's
rooms on Tuesday night. Then he
awakened Barry and appealed to him
to desist.~ Barry said he slept better
for snoring, and as he did not hear the
noise himself did not bother about it..
This enraged Albert, so he appeared
before Recorder Sullivan and charged
Barry with being a disturber of the
peace. Recorder Sullivan thought
enough of the case to send a policeman
after Barry, and he was arraigned in
court. The defendant said that if he
snored he did not know it, and, what
was more, he did not intend to stay up
nights to prevent it. Recorder Sulli-
van could find no law under which he
could hold Barry, and Albert could not
suggest plan to stop the racket. Bar
~ was then discharged.

VIRGINIA AS FIGHTING GROUND
1t is stated on pretty good authority
that some of those republicans who are
to have hand in the management of
the Mckinley campaign before leaving
st. Louis talked over the question of
trying to carry Virginia for their man.
They were assured by Virginians that
this State would afford good fighting
ground. The leaders practically decid-
ed to give some attention to the Old
Dominion. If their plans are carried
out some of the best republican speak
ers and some of the republican money
will find their way into Virginia next
fall.

AFTER a long and expensive trial. at
the cost of the people of the entire coun-
try, because it took place in q U. s.
court. the famous Holt will has been de-
cided to be forgery. Why the case
should have consumed one day, let
alone forty odd, is hard to tell, mas
much as plausibility is an essential
requisite for the credibility of all evil
dence, and as that quality was entirely
absent from the paper offered as the
will of the late Judge Holt. If the al
legged will were not fraudulent, why, in
the name of common sense, was it not
presented TO the recorder of wills by
the man who had it in his possession,
rather than sent to him anonymously
through the mail, and after transpa-
rent attemptto haveit appear thatit had
been snatched from the fire to which it
had been consigned The absurdity,
cost, trouble and injustice by the mod
ern jury system, should be sufficient,
but therefore probably will not be, to
effect the abolition of that system, and
the substitution of juster, cheaper,
and more efficient one In Its stead.

POLITICAL.

The North Carolina democratic State
convention yesterday declared for free
silver by vote of SIS to 81. The plat.
form instructs the delegates to Chicago
both as to platform and candidates, to
advocate and vote as unit untlinch
ingly and at all hazards, for the resto
ration of silver. The delegates &c
without instructions as to presidential
preferences. Mr.. Cyrus B. Watson was
nominated for Governor.
The Georgia democratic State con-
vention yesterday renominated Gov
ernor Atkinson and other State officers
adopted the unit rule and sent solid
delegation to Chicago for the free, I'm.
limited and independent coinage of sill
yer at the ratio of 16 to l. Out Of
eleven congressional districts ten sent
solid silver delegations and the eleventh
is bound to vote for 16 to l bimetallic
platform and bimetallic candidate, I'M.
der the unit rule.
Five hundred delegates of all politi.
cal parties from two-thirds of the coun.
ties of Colorado organized yesterday
the first State convention of the ma
tional silver party, adopted platform
and elected delegates to the national
convention which meets in st. Louis
July %. The platform is strong de-
claration for silver and declares allegi-
ance to any other national party and
candidate for the Presidency that &C.
cords with this view on the financial
question. Senator Henry M. Teller is
Endorsed for the Presidency.
Senator Tillman, of South Carolina,
spoke in Cooper Union, New York, last
night in advocacy of the free coinage OF
silver.
Secretary Carlisle denounces as a
falsehood the statement that he would
vote for Mckinley.
Democratic conventions have now
been held in every State, and the re-
suit is far from encouraging to the
friends of hard money. Georgia and
North Carolina added 4S votes yester-
day to the silver column and fair es-
innate would give 5S4 of the $50 dele
gates in the Chicago convention to the
free coinage wing of the party. 1t is
possible that the Michigan delegation,
which now stands Is for silver to Is
for gold, may ultimately be turned into
a solid silver delegation by unseating
two gold delegates and casting the en-
tire vote of that State under the unit
rule. This would give the silver men
612 votes, or eight short of two-thirds
msiority.

THAT THE Pollard murder case will
do more to increase the number OF
lynchings in this State, than the plat
form of the st. Louis convention will
do to decrease them, is plain to be
seen. More than year has now
elapsed since the old and inoilensive
lady was deliberately murdered by o
negro man and some women of his race,
for the sole purpose of getting the little
farm money she had saved, and
though her brutal and barbsrous MUIR
derers confessed their crime and were
twice convicted by juries of their own
and other counties, not one of them has
been punished, and some been turned
loose, owing to the quirks and bubbles
of the law and of the courts. AS de-
terrent to crime, the old lockwood trial
would be infinitely more effective than
the modern jury system, and by far the
more appropriate to such savages as
the negroes referred seem to be.

LONDON, June 26.-The Globe in an

Secretary of State, of the United
States has already communicated
with the government at Caracas,
urging the release of Surveyor Harrl-
son, who was arrested by the Venezue-
lans while constructing a road in the
disputed territory of Guiana. II Harrl-
SON is not released, the Globe adds,
