An Arch Fiend Hanged.

A special from Pikeville, KY, says:
News reached here yesterday from Coe-
burn, Va, TO the effect that Mary Snod-
grass was hanged at that place last Fri
day for the murder of her child. The
Snodgrass woman was a disreputable
character and was compelled to leave
this place on that account. She went to
Coeburn where her child was cared fol
by negroes until it was about a month
old, when it was turned over to it:
mother She did not want it and tried
to get rid of the child in various ways
The county Judge told her that she woulo
have to provide for it and she took it tc
her home
One night about midnight some peo
pie living close by heard the little one
screaming. Black smoke was seen issu
ing from the chimney and the door wa
burst in to ascertain the trouble. Th'
child had been placed in the fire and th'
mother was holding it i'll place in th'
| flames with long iron poker. 1t wa'
| burned almost to ashes. The inhumal
mother was arrested and placed in Jail
The infuriated people wanted to lyncl
her but the promise of speedy justic
caused them to allow the law to take it
course. She was tried and convicted o
murder in the first degree.
| The parents of the woman live in thl
county. She was married to WORTHLESS
man when she was about I6 years oil
and soon separated from him. She wa
about 2S years old.

The Paris Exposition Of 1900.

Exhibitions have come thick and fast
in the closing years of the nineteenth
century. The more frequent industrial
displays of states, cities and provinces
have been the background which has
served to show up the stately splendor OF
the less frequent international fetes-
they are nothing less-such as that at
Paris in 1889, and again at Chicago in
1898. At the close of our late exposi-
ton, which was universally admitted to
have been more extensive, complete, and
artistic than any that preceded it, it was
predicted that the limit had been reach
ed, and that nothing on a like scale
would be again attempted.
Yet, as a matter of fact, before the
blackened remains of the Chicago Fair
are we'll cleared away, it is announced
that the arrangements are complete Tor
what is to be the most elaborate and
brilliant industrial display of the CELL
tury. If any people but the French had
ulduc the pIOuulSS, luOSC Vi uo WIN AsNA
the privilege of seeing the proportions
and beauty of the architectural display
at Jackson Park would be prepared to
doubt its fulfllment. There were not
wanting visitors to our exposition who
complained of its size, and suggested
that smaller display of selected ex-
hibits would be more effective and in
te1ligible. If the Parisians are aiming
to gather yet larger collection of ex-
hibits, there is danger that it will be-
come bewildering and oppressive in its
proportions. That the display of archi-
tectural and landscape skill in the build
ings and grounds will be of very high
order goes without saying in a city So
rich in artistic talent as Paris; and yet we
very much doubt if any grouping OF
buildings in the Renaissance and later
French styles, however skillfully carried
out, can be made to equal the chaste
beauty and dignifed repose of the noble
group which composed the Court of
Honor at Jackson Park

ARTHUR SEwAI.L, the Democratic can
didate for Vice-President, is a rich ship
builder living at Bath, Ne. He is de-
scribed as almost the antithesis OF Mr..
Bryan, his leader, being decidedly aus
tere and unapproachable. He IS a rail
road magnate, bank president and capi-
talist, and those who know him are said
to be at loss to understand how either
his tastes or his beliefs can "jibe" with

The Populists.

St. Louis was the scene of another
convention, this week, that Of the Popu-
| lists.
The number OF delegates was large
over Iooo-and they promptly divided
| into two factions. e.-those who wish
| ed to endorse the nomination OF Bryan
] for President; and those VINO wished TO
nominate candidate of their own:
These latter were called the middle OF
the road people.
The BRYAN people controlled the Ma
tional committee, and named Senator
Batter of s. Carolina for Temporary
Chairman, Monday, a thing that the
middle of the Road" people did not
like, but concluded to stand.
Brvan's friends were working industrl-
| ouslv but met with determined opposl-
ton from the Southern delegates:
Judge Hines of Georgia said to one OF
! Bryan's men.
You shall not cruelty us upon your
free silver cross, "nor press down upon
our brows crown of Democratic thorns.
| We have fought our way out OF the
| Democratic party, and we know its cor
ruption, its friends and its political IN
| tolerance.
Another delegate declared that the
Populists would not permit themselves to
| be "crucified between free silver Demo-
Gratis and gold bug Republicans as our
Saviour was crucifed between two
thieves"
Nearly all the hotel orators followed
the example Mr. Bryan set at Chicago.
| A Georgian declared that the Popu-
| lists of his State would not ''vCte for the
Savior of mankind on a platform COM
| posed of the 10 commandments, II the
ticket bore the name of Democrat. y
That night the middle of the Road"
men were claiming ago majority. The
BRYAN men said their candidate will have
| I5o votes to spare. Neither side knew.
| At noon, Wednesday, the convention
| met in the same hall used by the Repub-
licans. Ignatius Donnelly, Gen. Coxey,
| Terry Simpson and Mrs. Lease were
| prominent figures i'll the crowd. Senator
| Buffers opening speech was vague; he
took no sides with either faction. The
| roll of states was called and the commit
tee on credentials named, and that was
all that was done that day. That night
the middle of the Road" people seemed
to have. and claimed the most votes, but
the Bryan people had the pest leaders
| and had an organization:
eve have the organization and the
| votes said Mr.. Simpson with emphatic
| verbal garnishment that is not proper for
a family paper, eve have the organlza-
ton and the votes and we will win. The
Populistic ticket will be Bryan and
| Sewall.n ~

IT is just as natural that the bankers
should be for sound money as it is that a
good lawyer should be for the laws and
the constitution, or that doctor should
favor true medical science in preference
to quackery and should love truth better
than error and superstition. 1t is natur-
al that all men who understand the true
nature and functions of money should be
Mortified at the deliberate, willful and
preIneditated attempt to debase the coin,
thing that in all times and under all
circumstances has proven pernicious and
disastrous.

A Dynamite Platform.

The neWPopulistic, ,'Anarchistic, Demo-
cratic platform is full of dynamite. II
throws bomb against almost every bull
wark of Government and every safeguard
of society.
It assails the Supreme Court OF the
United States and practically demands
that it shall be forcibly reconstructed and
overturned in order to reverse its decision
against the constitutionality OF the In
come tax.
1t demands legislation to destroy the
obligation and sanctity of private con-
tracts.
It insists upon the reputation OF
plighted public faith and the conhscation
of wages and savings by compelling the
acceptance of a 5o-cent dollar for 100
cents.
1t strikes at the foundation OF all
monetary security and stability by de-
manding not only free silver coinage but
unlimited fiat paper money.
IT assails the national banks which are
so interviewer with our whole business
fabric and proposes to annihilate all
national bank currency.
It denounces the assertion OF Federal
power for the maintenance of order and
the repression of riot and virtually de-
uands free field for riotous outbreak
and mob rule.
IT condemns the exercise of JUDICIAL
authority in restraint of assaults upon
the public peace and upon private prop
erty, and holds that the hands OF the
courts should be tied in the face OF I'M
bruted rioters.
No such sweeping aud monstrous cru
sade against law, honesty, private
security and public safety was ever be-
fore embodied in party platform.
SOME people appear to think that the
gold standard is something new in this
country, and that the Republican party
in declaring itself in favor of its .mainte-
nance, is doing something revolutionary.
Such is far from the truth. we nave
had the gold standard constantly since
1858. 1t is impossible to have two stand
ards of money unless the ratio between
them is in exact accord with the market
ratio. The minute one metal is under
valued even to the smallest fraction OF
cent, that minute it ceases to circulate.
1t is worth more as bullion, and IN con-
sequence is not taken to the mint. The
legal ratio by no means fixes the market
ratio, although such claim is set up by
the advocates of free coinage. All exper-
ience, however, proves the contrary,
The only possible way in which liked
ratio could be maintained between the
two metals would be by an agreement
between the principal commercial nations
of the earth to make it legal tender at
certain ratio. The Republican party
pledges itself to promote such an agree
ment.

THAT decision of Justice Willard, OF
the Superior Court, holding to the night
of defendant who is indicted because OF
the act of his employee to testify that he
was not party to the offense, is, in our
Judgment, good sense and good law, but
there is one class of cases in which such
testimony has never bee1 permitted as
defense. The case in which Justice VIII
lard decided was where liquor was sold
in Butler against the law, by an employe,
and the principal was indicted. He OF
fered to prove that he not only did not
know of the offense, but had specially
warned his employe against anything OF
the sort. This Justice Willard say
should have been permitted to go to the
jury; and the court below, for refusing
this ev idence, was reversed.-Dispatch.
