DEAR SIRE do not know your

looks to me as Il the Democrats are
going to try and ruin the country with
their free silver Ideas at Chicago. Up

Saint Louis platform strikes me us n re-,

Is the, only thing In my opinion that will

The mistake oGthe men who conspired
against the Transvaal and OF those who
assaulted It from the outside was that
they overlooked its sovereign power as
an independent state 1t IS small in
population and It's people are OF the plain
Dutch burger class. 1t was taken for
granted that with the backing Of the
powerful British South African Com
pany, which has the backing OF the
powerful British empire. they ran no
risk except the risk Of being shot in
their raid.
When the five members of the reform
committee entered their plea of guilty
of high treason they did not look for
serious results. SIN presumIng on the
kind Of country they were dealing with,
they had no other thought than to be
let OF easily, perhaps with a reprlmnnd.
II their offcnse had been against Great
Britain or any other great country they
would have looked for the EXTREMIST
penalty OF the law
It Is a serious thing to consplre
against a state. A small and weak state
has the same right to protect Itself as
large and strong state has This is as
well understood In Pretoria as in Lon
don. and II the Bocrs let the offenders
of with their lives 1t Will be- because they
are merelful or think clemency the wise
policy.
1t Is not likely that the lives Of the
condemned men viii he taken. but they
are as much in the hands NJ the Dutch
republic ms though tho offenss had been
committed against any other power.
The miscarriage Of Jameson'E raid and
the plight of the reform committeeman
win remind others In South Africa that

Early In the campaign the Intelligent
Ger ventured the prediction that New
England would NOT be solid for Mr.. Reed
and in due time would come to the front
with a good deal of encouragement for
the Mckinley movement
New Hampshire divided Its declara-
tIon between Reed and Mckinley. Con-
nectlcut divided It's delegation and is
believed to have elected to the national
convention more Mckinley men than
Reed men. Now comes Vermont, an
other nelghbor to Mr.. Reed and geogra-
prlcally quite remote from the Ohio
man, and declares for Major Mckinley
in addition to giving him her delegates
Seeing whence this declaration and
these delegates come the gain for Nc.
Kinley and the loss to the combine are.
both very great. Mr. Reeds own sec
ton is not solldly with him and cannot
be juggled by the combine; and there is
now no section Of the country. which has
not elected delegates and also made a
declaration for the popular favorite.
There is more in New England than
appears on the surface. Sectional good
feeling for worthy man has given to
Mr.. Reed delegates who in fact represent
Mckinley constituencies. They viii
probably give Mr. Reed vote, although
this is not a certainty, but they never
can be used by the combine to defeat
Mckinley. For that matter the com
btne can never gather up enough votes
to defeat Mckinley.
fhe Republican people have taken his
cause in their own keeping and will be
on hand with the votes to nominate him.
The Republican party is in dead earnest
and will not be denied the right to select
It's own standard bearer. William Nc
Kinley will bear that standard to
glorious victory.

The preliminary trial OF W. E. Kuhn,

bling Daniel Toothman guest OF
Burns hotel, Pennington. on April 10,
has been concluded at Fairmont. Chief
OF Police Rennett and lieutenant Dan,
Ingram were present as witnesses. The
examination of Kuhn took place before
Justice Fisher. In Its account Of the
trial the Index says:
The state was represented by Prose-
cutting Attorney Powell and Mr.. ". S.
Meredith appeared for the defense.
Quite number of witnesses were eX-
Rminod by the state and four or five
for the defendant. 1t attracted quite a
crowd and the court room was filled all
through the hearing. Mr.. Daniel Tooth
man and Corb Ammons spent the night
of April 10 ut the Burns hotel In Farm
Ington, and during the night some one
took Mr.. Touthman's pantaloOns and
two packet books, in which We're two

and two $50 notes u ten dollar note and
a five dollar note and some silver
The next morning Mr. Toothman dis
covered his loss and MIR. Ammons on
going. to the barn found the pantaloons
and one pocket book containing but
eleven cents. Mr.. Burns through Mr..
Thomas a. Diveney of'tIlis place. paid
back Mr.. ToOthmnn the amount he had
lost and suspicion pointed to Kuhn, who
had on Monday morning started to-
wards Wheeling The officers in Wheel

upon being searched some gold pieces

place, went to Wheeling, after Kuhn,
received the money from Chief Bennett
and brought the prisoner to the jail In
this place.
The state made right strong case,bus
II was weakened considerably by the
evidence for the defendant. The de-
Tense showed that Kuhn had been plan
ming the trip TO Wheeling for several
days. He proved by Miss Taught and
his younger brother that he had gold
coin In his possession on Sunday before
the robbery. lie also swOTe that he
won the money in question by gaming.
The evidence raised some doubts as to
the guilt of the prisoner. but the justice
thought that there was probable cnuse
and held him to answer an Indictment
In bail Of $500, which wns furnished by
his mother.
