Editor John Mitchell OF the Rich
mond PLANET. is q fearless defender Of
the Negro. He is now and has been
for some months busily engaged in de-
Tending the poor women connected
with the Lunenburg murder. Through
his tireless efforts Pokey Barnes was
acquitted, even after sentence Of
death had been passed upon her. and
Mary Alternately has secured a new
trial which we trust will result in her
acQuittal. We consider such man
one OF the greatest heroes of our race.

the murder that ne then gave there
was no suggestion OF the presence az
the murder OF = white man."
There was a suggestion OF the
white man then, and that the
Dispatch should deny il. is beyond
the realms OF reason. Capt FRANK w.
CUENNeBAN. Major DERBYsHIRE, the
troops, the Judge. the jury testify to
the fact that SOLOMON MARBLE did
make a statement At Lunenburg @. ii.
concerning 'the presence at the MUIR
der Of a white man." IL says:
AT that crisis in his life Marable
accused nobody but himself and the
three women. And this account he re-
pested to the trial-judge and jury IN
L0nenburg."
This is already answered as well as
the following:
1.-THE 'white-man story seems TO
have been an afterthought. We know
| of no reason for discrediting Marable's
first story and accepting his last one
And again:
Not q single circumstance with
which the public is acquainted sus-
tains the latter, while many sustain
the former"
II the editor of the Dispatch will
call on the counsel for the women and
read the impartial report furnished by
one of the best detectives IN the en-
ploy of the PINKERroN National De-
tective Agency, he will become con-
WINGED, whether he is willing TO admit
the truth OF the conviction or not The
women are innocent. MARABLE, with
his diving breath has so declared it and
the evidence bear out his statements.
The following does not require re-
ply embracing as it does a reflection
upon the authorities of Prince Edward
County:
"Marable's last extended statement
made on the eve before his execution
land reiterated in brief on the scat
fold \ was given In the presence OF thu
trial-iudpe and other officers of thu
Prince Edward County Court; and
had they been impressed with it
truth we cannot but believe the,
: would have autographed the Governo
\ 70 delay the execution until furthe
r investigation could be made"
e It seems to be oblivious of the fac
n that the people Co do the arrestin
n live in Lunenburg County, and not i
o Prince Edward where this case wa
sent for trisl.
g And sgain:
That they did not do so, we ma
:, take as proof positive OF their ute
II disbelief in the story duplicating MI
4 Thompson; and their conviction tins
Marable was not only guilty OF a cold
3 blooded murder, but of cold-bloode

PASS PEFruR's RESOLUTION.

We have said once before. and we now
repeat. that it does not become Demo-
cratic senators 10 resist the passage OF
PETERS resolution TO investigate every
thing connected with the sales OF bonds
that have been made during Mr.. CleVe-
lands administration TO preserve the gold
reserve. If there is nothing wrong con-
uected with these sales a complete expo
sure of everything viii do no one any
harm. 1t will have a healthy effect, how
ever, In giving the people assurance that
all the affairs Of their government arc
always open to the inspection Of all OF
them. If. however. there is anything
wrong about them, then that wrong should
be exposed to the full light Of day, and
the wrong-doers should be made respon-
sible. There are, beyond question, ugly
rumors anoat in regard 10 them. We do
not believe there is particle of founda-
ton for the rumors, but they are being
circulated. and they ought to be probed
that the facts, whatever they are, may be
made known 10 the people.
Senator Hill is making a specious and
plausible plea against the passage tof
PETERS resolution, and what he urges
would be good as argument in court
of chancery I'm support Of a demurrer TO
bill for discovery. PETERS resolution is
undoubtedly strongly tinctured with the
elements of a fishing bill" But the peo-
pie want none Of the technical rules OF
courts of justice applied TO cases Of this
sort. 1hey want the facts laid bare with
ing. Give us the naked facts and dismiss
al technical considerations relative to the
manner in which charges should be for
1nulated. There need be 10 charges at
all. Let the facts alone be stated.

THE CHICAGO DRAINAGE CANAL.

With the revival Of interest In the
Nicaraguan canal, which is now under
discussion in the House Of Representa-
tives. have come many interesting facts
concerning the Chicago drainage canal
which is certainly without a parallel in
this or any other country.
The naturally fat condition Of the land
upon which Chicago was incorporated as
a city In 1857. on the west side of Lake
Michigan, and the marvellous growth
Of this Western metropolis, has rendered
1t absolutely compulsory upon its people
to secure a drainage system which would
at once be competent and permanent Tor
the purposes of a great city.
The city OF Chicago is twenty-six miles
IN length, is fifteen miles at its widest
point. and covers an area of one hundred
and ninety square miles.
A system Of drainage into Lake Michi-
gan was at one time sufficient. and now
large portion Of the city is amply pro-
vlded by the old system. although the
water supply taken from the lake was
polluted thereby. but the increasing
growth OF the city, under the stimulus of
the Worlds Fair required new sani-
tary district. and the drainage canal is
destined TO meet the new conditions.
The canal was begun about four years
ago. and is now rapidly reaching its COM
pletion. 1t being desired to formally open
IL during the late spring or early summer
When completed the canal will be thirty
five miles IN length. one hundred and
sixty feet In width. and thirty-five
feet deep. and the present estimates OF
its cost are s27.SOs2lG.
The course OF the canal is through the
Desplaines valley, and extends from the
Chicago river. In that city. 10 Lockport.
H.. and after passing through a tail-race
20 the Desplaines river at Joliet, follows
that stream TO the Illinois river. and
thence 10 the Mississippi.
The canal when completed will not only
serve as u drainage system for Chicago,
but will also be used as ship canal,
the cross sections OF this being greater
than either the suez. the Manchester. or
the North Sea ship canaI.
The work when completed Will have
necessitated the removal OF S997s, 7C2 cubic
yards OF material. and In the rock Sec
