MIKE DONOVAN on TRIAL
Quite a Little Ripple Caused by Impeach-
ment OF the Chief.


The case of the state against Mike
Donovan was put on trial in the dis
trict court yesterday. a jury was east
ly secured and the evidence was COM
menced at 3 o'clock. Judge Dale made
an order that only ten witnesses could
be allowed in cases involving only one
count This shortened the case little
and by o'clock all the evidence touch
ing on the case was in. AmidOn * Con-
ley then called six witnesses 10 testify
as to the truth and Veracity of Chief Of
Police Burrows. The first one was
Charlie Oppenheimer who, at the open
ing of the cross examination, volunteer
ed a remark tocuhing the moral charac-
ter Of the assistant attorney general.
Judge Dale reprimanded him sharply
and instructed the jury not to consider
the remark Of the witness. o. c. Daisy,
Bob Mccain, Newt Garst and Joe
Christman also testified that the gen.
eral reputation of the chief of police
for truth and veracity was not good.
The case was then adjourned until this
morning to give the assistant attorney
general chance to get witnesses to
testify in favor Of the truth and verac-
ity OF Mr.. Burrows.
Newt Garst. in telling how he sized
up Mr.. Burrows reputation, told the
court that about a year ago he saw in
the papers where Mr.. Burrows accused
himself of all the sins in the calander
when he was at the mourners' bench
getting religion when Major Cole, the
evangelist, was here.
Bob Mccain swore that he heard
Deputy Sheriff Kensler say that Mr..
Burrows was everything else but a
George Washington. A. Cuisine swOre
that ex-Pohceman Wailliams said in
his store one day that the chief was
very elastic with the truth.
Mr.. Daisy, on cross examination, de-
MED saying that if he could get five
men TO go with him he would like to
take clubs along and beat out the
brains of the fellows who were enforc-
ing the law.
The testimony against the reputation
of the chiefs truth and veracity was
the cause of some difference of Opin-
ion relative to the motives of the at
torneys for the defense. Mike Dono-
van denied authorizing it and some of
his friends said that Amidon & COnley
made a little by play not for the pur-
pose of effecting the Donovan case but
for the purpose of laying a foundation
TO impeach the chiefs evidence in the
approaching murder case of the state
against Mrs. Leonard. It seems the
chief has what purports to be a con-
fession of guilt in that case and Ami
don d. COnley are the lawyers for the
defense. 1t is hardly fair, however, to
attribute this motive 10 the lawyers
mentioned, as they appeared in good
faith in having Mr.. Burrows veracity
impeac hed in this case.

Today the committee OF lawyers who
have custody OF the charges against
Assistant Attorney General Campbell

They are ready now with the report
but will await the arrival OF Judge
Wall, VINO is absent, 10 sign them with

a meeting was held yesterday in
Mr. Stanley's office at which all the
members OF the committee. with the

10 these proceedings.
One who seemed 10 know all Of the

that all the boys mentioned in the
charges stood sQuarely up before the
committee and reiterated their for

would go back on US, but they faced
the committee in grand shape and gave
stronger evidence. under oath. than
they did in their private statements"
From what he said the committee
hold all the Trumps and some good
suit besides, and if Judge Campbell
wins the game he must do il by super
ior playing.
Another man said: The boys have
four aces against the assistant artor-
ney general this time and il is tmpos-
sible for him TO win"
The friends of Judge Campbell are
still confident of victory and they
laugh in scorn at the suggestion that
he will be disbared.
When the committe reports today
and Judge Dale finds there is enough
evidence 10 warrant a trial he will set a
day for the hearing of the case and
issue orders for the subpoenaing of
witnesses. II is not improbable that
the hearing viii be held Saturday.
Some seem to thing that Attorney Gen

his friends say that he will not. He

IN ONLY ONE CITY.

By calculations and statistics collated
Chicago nter-Ocean,' it is established
that there has been in the city of Chi
cago alone a reduction of 70 per cent.
III the number of persons employed in
the clothing trade, and a reduction of
10 per cent in the wages of the re-
mainder since the Democracy attempted
to crush out so much of protection af-
forded by the Republican party as had
been permitted to remain in the tariff
schedules.
Like reductions have taken place in
the iron trade, woodworker followings,
soap production, upholstery and broom
and brush manufactures. In many cases
the falling down has been greater than
in the clothing trade. In upholstering,
for instance the wage reduction has
been 33 per cent. In the six lines cited,
no less than 30,95S persons have lost
employment, while annual earnings OF
So 1O7 .641 in amount were lost to those
remaining in employment.
Suppose we place the loss, as ooeS al
interior exchange, SO low as $500
year to each Of the 30,95S thrown out
of employment by the refusal of fair
protection (though that is ridiculously
low figure) and we have the sum Of
s.. .3S7, 400, in addition to the 81, ,64l,
lost to labor to which 1T was justly en-
titled, and which it would have re-
ceived had Republican policy pre-
vailed.
And all this relates to Chicago alone;
one city out of all the country; one
community out of the 1O,OOO.OOO people
of the nation Verify, the wage Garner
is under deep obligation to vote for
BRYAN and Sewall- Watson and non-pro-

number of dollars be effected? The
Record Union" has pointed out how,
and that it is not in conflict with any
declaration or principle Of the Repub-
lican party, but is in harmony with its
principles. It is not tinharmonious, either,
with true Democracy, or the honest
Democratic utterance outside of the
fanatical and impracticable demand of
the Chicago Convention.
This is how it can be done: Let all
silver coinage of the United States be
made legal tender to the extent of
500; issue no gold paper, or anything
based on gold. and coin no gold medium
Of less than 500 For convenience, let
a silver bill of $50 issue. Then order
all the silver in possession of the Gov
ernment to be minted. This will swell
the volume Of silver to between $780,
100000 and $7OO.000,000 and augment
the per capita money to a figure that
will satisfy all needs and demands and
settle the whole financial question.

1t has remained for the New York
Press" to suggest that in this free sill
yer business there is a wonderful mis-
conception as to what is behind it all.
The Press" has the courage to say 1--WE
are not informed as to the strength Of
fortification it has for it's charge) that
the. silver craze is backed by wealth
represented in part by the Bimetallic
League. That the newspapers engaged
in the cultivation of the agitation are in
very many instances hired agencies,
well rewarded. That corporations and
wealthy mine-owners are furnishing
the sinews Of war, because they are to
be the gamers by the triumph Of un-
limited coinage to individual account.
The Press" makes this charge with
boldness and vigor. 1t may be called
upon to verify it. We confess that it
has looked for some time as if the self
ish interest Of capital might most dwell
with the agitators, since bullion deal
ers and producers will have far more to
gain than will the people by unlimited
coinage, for wealth and money handling
will secure the profit flowing from
sale Of silver in coin form for more than
1t is really worth.

General Sickles, the Democrat and
patriot, wrote recently to Colonel Dud-
ley of Boston, his old comrade in arms
for the Union:
I know Major Mckinley very well. He
is a man of rectitude and honor. Upon
the practical and pressing issues of the
day he stands for all that Americans
must uphold. While l do not agree with
some of his political views, 1 am far
more widely separated from the ruinous
platform of his adversary. AS our Presi-
dent, chosen as he will be, by the votes
of men of all parties, his election will
not be partisan triumph His admin
istration will guarantee the public
credit and the public decorum and or
Anarchists, Populists and Socialists.
You and /, and our comrades. are not
accustomed to use blank cartridges in the
presence Of an enemy; therefore / don't
propose to throw away my vote on any
third candidate. Nor are we in the
habit of withholding our fire when as
sailed; therefore / don't mean to stay
home and not vote at ALL / shall give
a patriotic vote for my comrade, Major
Mckinley, believing that in so doing
! am repeating what I did in GA when,
as a war Democrat, 1 voted for Lincoln
and the Union.
There is a ring about such words that
awakens responsive vibrations in every
patriotic heart.

TO INCREASE THE DOLLAR VOL
UME.

Scarce money means dear money"
said Mr.. Bryan In his South Bend
speech. .It is volume" he exclaimed,
that is wanted; the number OK the
dollars changes the value of dollars;
that is, the purchasing capacity of
dollars Is changed by the number of
dollars of that kind"
For the sake of argument, If this is ad-
nnitted-though we do not grant 1t to
be truth-why, then. should there be
free and unlimited coinage of silver on
individual account at a ratio denied by
the majority of the great commercial
States of the world? Why this, when
the volume of dollars can be increased
without free coinage wrenching Of the
financial system, and the danger of that

WOMEN AS GARDENERS.

Since woman Is pushing into nearly all
vocations to her injury and has invaded
the business world and unjustly dis
placed the natural bread winner. to the
consequent detriment Of domesticity and
society, 1t is pleasant to know that one
vocation has been opened to her for
which she seems to be perfectly fitted.
In England certain horticultural
college has successfully tried the ex-
tific gardeners. The trial has thus far
met with success. Her tactfulness, pa
tience and nice judgment as to things
graceful and beautiful, peculiarly fit her
for gardening. Besides, It is q healthful
vocation, brings her into the open air
e-z1 demands just enough of muscular
effort to meet her capacity. The New
York Tribune remarks upon this sub
ject:
Astute observers say that before long
no one who wants a really admirable
gardener will hesitate about employing
q woman in that capacity. With man
or boy to execute the more laborious
part of the work, 1t is demonstrated that
there is no department of horticulture
which feminine talent cannot cope with.
With a woman's trained eye
and practiced hand at the head OF the
floral department the mistress can al
ways be sure of abundant fresh-cut
flowers for drawing-room and dining
table, of suitable and Of attractive house
plants for decorative purposes. The
woman gardener understands that the
use and enjoyment of the flowers In
her garden Is what the mistress desires,
not the keeping of show place, marked
off in rectangular lines by ridges Of color
and keen-clipped herbage
The work of gardener Is so health
full. so interesting and inspiring, in COM
parison with the more conventional ana
hereditary occupations, that 1t Is no
wonder there are many TO seek instruc-
ton In the art OF course, as In all voca-
tions. those who have native talent or
a "knack" for gardening succeed best
but 1t is an occupation in which the per-
ceptions can be quickened by practice
and familiar association, and few essay
II who are not delighted with both re-
sources and results. The most popular
training school is that at Stanley, the
Horticultural college at that place hav-
ing a thoroughly equipped ladies an
mex"
Yet we cannot but think that so far
as she will In this vocation displace and
cheapen the labor of man as an en-
ploye, her entry upon gardening as
vocation is not best for the order Of So
ciety. However. as this calling is in
the direction of least resistance. 1t Will,
nv her introduction into 1T, be fruitful Of
,sast harm. AS to women being their
own gardeners. however, there can be
no sort Of objection, indeed it is to be
encouraged. Even If employed as gar
aeners they will at least not be brought
into contaminating contact with the
world to the great injury OF capacity
as a head OF the home. A woman, we
conceive, can be trained as a gardener
and follow that vocation without neces-
earfly weakening the domestic tie, or un-
fitting her for the higher oflces> OF the
home where her greatest duty resides
