One thing our sister town of
Newport needs, and that is a good.
fair, liberal local newspaper. There
is nothing that helps a town and
community so much as a local news
paper, II that is run by a man
that is broadminded and liberal
enough to rise ABOVE petty feelings
and run a paper in the interest of
all the people. Every town has
certain s%trifes, discussions and diff
~ferences among its people. The
paper that takes issue on these
small matters makes all unpardon-
able mistake, and when the local
paper allows itself to be controlled
by one or the other of the factions,
it at once loses its power to do good
to the town or community, and only
exists IS a weapon to be welded by
by one part of the people against
the other. A local paper should
reflect the best thought, and the
most progressive part of every COM
munity. Because for some reason
or other the editor and John Doe,
one Of the towns progressive citi-
zens have by some unfortunate cir
cumstance become estranged, that
is no reason why the paper should
not work just as hard to further
any public enterprise in which Johu
Doe is interested, as it would if the
scheme we, fathered by Richard Roe
the EDITORS bosom friend. The les
son is a hare one 10 learn sometimes
but until it is, the editor is not full
filling his mission. Newport is un-
fortunate i'll this respect. There are
certain progressive citizens of that
town which are continually being
either ignored or antagonized by its
paper. The editor seems to wear
those peculiar kind of spectacles
which prevents his seeing any mer-
itorious action performed by a GER
tain part of his townspeople, while
on the other hand they seem to
magnify the actions of a certain one
or two individuals until they can
hardly walk across the street with
out due mention thereof being
made in his paper. Newport needs
and deserves a better paper than
that. 1t needs a paper that will
work shoulder TO shoulder with all
of its citizens instead of one that is
so small and retty. Such a paper
would be of great benefit to the
town, and in return would receive
a liberal patronage from the people
from that enterprising town.

Major Throckmorton came up and shook my
hand. Then he offered his hand TO Judge
Holt. The latter refused TO recognize him.
and turned his back on him with an air that
i;; Irig;nsened me- About the time of the Tilden
VIII contest, Mrs. Briggs continued, while
discussing the subject of wills generally,
Judge Holt told me If I had any property
had better dispose of it before my death.
AS for myself, he added, my nephew my

something about Wash, or Washington

meant" Despite objections OF the benefi-
caries' counsel the court ruled this evi-

Gus features surrounding the documents. A
deposition was read from Mrs. R.ckems of

NEWPORT. KY, May 22.-Alonzo Wal
ling's lawyers have not ended their efforts
to secure evidence which will contradict
coachman George H. Jackson's testimony.
Arrangements were made Friday for an
other test run from Fort Thomas to New
port. Ed John and James Robinson. q
young river engineer. were secured to come
from Fort Thomas to the Newport bridge
on q >iead run. Charles Biltz. who made
the run for the attorneys Thursday, re-
ported 20 them that he had encountered
eighteen barbed wire fences on the route
George H. Jackson said he followed. The
attorneys are not content with two tests
but 1t is reported that a professional
sprinter has been engaged to run from Fort
Thomas to Major Widdefeld's residence on
Mount Auburn, over the route that George
n. Jackson says he took. The impression
prevails with Walling's friends that the jury
story, and this explains why every effort
Is being made to break II down.
When Bsltz. who Is the son of Mayor
Biuz, or Newport, made the run yesterday,
he was accompanied to Fort Thomas by
attorneys Washington and Shepard. The
lawyers could not keep up with him, and
as result Biltz would run a short distance
and then wait for the others to catch up.
Biltz ran over the route Jackson says he
followed In order to see IL the distance
could be made in the time the coachman
claims. Only the actual time in which Biltz
was running was taken. Not counting the
rests It was one hour and forty-five min
utes. Biltz was nearly exhausted. His
clothes were torn by several barbed wire
fences. He claims the clothing would be
torn of man making the run at night.
The fact that Walling did not know Pearl
Bryan until the week of her death, ii Is
conceded. will make the task Of the prose-
cution more difficult than 1T was in the
Jackson trial. The ease with which a motive
was established in the previous case will
be lacking in this Much of the same medi-
cal testimony will be introduced in Wal
ling's trial that was heard in Jackson's S;
but 1t will be considerably shortened, end
lawyers are predicting that verdict will
be reached several days sooner than in
Jackson's hearing.
Colonel Washington says that Walling' S
relatives have arranged TO pay the expenses
Of all Witnesses who will attend the trial
from a distance; and the fact that Jack
sons witnesses are without fees will not
injure the cause of his client, he thinks,
In keeping away evidence.
The motion for a new trial in Jackson s
case will be argued tomorrow.

of Pennsylvania, accompanied by j. Hay
Brown, Of Lancaster, Pa, arrived In the city
this morning over the Pennsylvania railway
at 10 o'clock Governor Mckinley, having
received telegram that Senator Quay would
pay him a visit, met him at the station in
the modest family carriage. To a reporter
on the train Senator Quay declined to talk
as to the object Of his mission. saying mere
ly that he was paying Governor Mckinley
friendly visit. Mr.. Brown said he was mere
ly travelling as Mr.. Quay's companion and
had no knowledge as to the nature OF his
mission. Senator Quay's visit was brief, for
he left Canton at 125 o'clock this afternoon.
without giving out the suspicion OF state,
ment. He did not appear to be In a cordial
humor and rather snapped at the newspaper
men The outcome of the interview is not
known. as neither Senator Quay nor Major
Mckinley would answer questions. 1t Is not
believed the conference amounted to much
men, as Mckinley drove with the Senator to
the train.
Another dispatch says: Ex-Governor Nc
Kinley left tonight for Cleveland, where he

III is understood that the visit of Senator
Quay with Major Mckinley to-day was Of
the friendliest character. 1t was a call of
the prospective Republican candidate for the
presidency. The Senator lunched with the
Ex-Governor. Their separation at the sta
ton would indicate the most cordial and
hearty relations and clearly manifested TO
orlookers that the. visit had been Of a most
agreeable and satisfactory nature Senator
Quay went to his home in Beaver and Mr..

that IL was necessary to do something at
once and the committee was called to-

unanimously adopted:
Resolved, That this committee recon-

with a quick movement, drew a revolver
from his pocket and presented it at Cor

20 induce him to talk, but he refused to say

question as to whether he was still to be

to think he had said enough, and to further

question and Platt's attack on IL he smil-
ingiy said that he had nothing more to
communicate. The Senator stated that he
