AN INNOCENT MAN IN THE PEN

Governor Carr has pardoned Henry
Smith, of Asheville, and thus ended a
very sensational case. Smith, while
working or the railroad in Davidson
county, passed the house of q man
named Ellington, and one day all of
Ellington's money-one thous md, two
hundred dollars, was missing. Smith
was arrested tried and sentenced to
twelve years in the p~enitentiary. Last
week the money which Smith was
charged with stealing was found in the
possession of Ellington's son, who,
during a drunken spree, had taken and
hid it. He forgot the place where he
had placed it, but discovered it by &C
cident and gave the money to his
father, who at once reported the fact
to Governor Carr.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

Congress should first recognize the
struggling masses of American citizens
as belIigerents, and then see what can
be done for the Cubans.
If our legislature elects a gold man
to the Senate it will end the career OF
every member of the legislature who
votes for him and it ought to.
Shorn of his power, Cleveland isnow
simply a dangerous and troublesome
derelict floating around in the political
waters, and Mckinley will be the same
shortly aster he goes m.
Say, neighbor, are you talking to
your neighbor ebout that special ALI
ance meeting on January 9sh7 You
ought to. The members of every Sub
Alliance in the State ought to get to,
gether on that date.
Several Sub Alliances have suggested
that the Executive Committee use
enough of the Business Agency fund to
start the shoe factory. We think that
q mistake. Let the shoe factory be
run by stockholders fund. 1t can be
raised If the brethren mean business,
and we think they do.
The population of Ohio is 8 825. 900.
TIE total vote cast there this year
amounted to LOO, 900 It is generally
conceded that the voters average mt
to five in our population. But Ohio
comes up with one voter 10 81 or there
abouts Fraud is plainly apparent
there as well as in other Central States.
A large number of Alliancemen hold
county and State Offices and are in a
position to take a liberal amount of
stock in the Alliance shoe factory. 1t
will be a good idea to watch and see
whether or not they attend the special
Sub Alliance meetings or January 9th
and whether they take any stock not.
Watch as well as pray. Test their
sincerity.
Some of the Democratic Congressman
from Texas must be sweet birds. Con.
gresham Crowley, of that State, was
arrested for alleged brutal treatment
Of an old woman organ grinder on
Pennsy lvania Avenue, in Washington,
one night last week. He was arrested
and locked up in the 18Th street station
house. He was detained until mid,
night. The Congressman remarked
at the station house that he had been
arrested seven hundred times in Texas
and had no objection to a little gayety
along that line.
The shipment Of fruits from Mexico
to the United States is destined to be
one Of the mCsS important features OF
our international trade within q few
years. The number of cars of oranges
sent to the States this year by the
Mexican Central one is almost double
that of last year. Mexican oranges are
ready for the market almost two
months before those raised in Florida
and California, and with this advan
tage they will have no difficulty il
finding ready sale. The country around
Tampico raises the finest bananas In
the world. The natives of that section
T planting many trees, and as they
bear within q year, Mexican banana
will doubtless be better known in thu
American markets before long.

There is no mistaking the fact that
the result of the election in the Unlted
States is very satisfactory to all the
great industrial and manufacturing
industries of Mexico. MexICOs silver
standard has not only offered protec'

but the advantage of making goods

check. 1t was this that made the game
FLUSHED WITH SUCCESS.

Two or three years of this quickly
made Pomeroy a rich man. He built a
hne brick office for his paper and spent
$4,000 on what was perhaps the finest
newspaper outfit west of New York
city. Flushed with success he went on
to build an opera house and to organize
a band, with the aid of which latter
he gave each week receptions in a huge
room which he had fitted up in sumptu-
Gus style on the top floor of his office
1t is needless to say that at this time
Pomeroy was quite the largest man
in Wisconsin, and indeed q national
figure of considerable proportions And
his dress was in keeping with the no
toriety he had gained In the summer
time he was wont to array himself in
a spectacular suit of striped bed-tick
ing and huge japanese straw hat,
and in this stately garb convey his
presence down the street It is hardly
worth while adding that he was looked
at wherever he went.
In the presidential campaign of 1868
Pomeroy came east to attend the Dem
ocratic convention and found himself
welcomed as a statesman by the chiefs
of his party. He forthwith conceived
the idea of publishing his paper sim
ultaneously in La Crosse and New
York. The campaign was warm and
the Democrats were in need of a
livelier and more effective organ in
New York city than their New York

ON HIS UPPERS AGAIN.

Almost penniless Pomeroy made his
way back to La Crosse, and started in
again. The greenback craze was still
rampant over the country and in a
short time Pomeroy had to considera-
BILE extent retrieved his fortune, much
of which he spent in organizing green
back clubs all over the country.
The craze soon died out, however,
and broken in purse and health Pom
eroy went out to Denver There he
started his paper again, and practiced
law and then conceived a gigantic pro-
jeot for driving tunnel for five miles
through the Rocky mountains at a
point which would considerably shorten
the distance from Denver to the Pacific.
On the strength of his reputation and
by dint of extensive advertising he
succeeded in inducing a large number
of his old subscribers and adherents to
take stock in the scheme, to the number
[ believe of about 5000. Work on the
tunnel is still going on and it promises
when completed to be a property of
considerable value.
Later Pomeroy came back to New
York and started paper in advocacy
of spirirualism and kindred matters.
But he quite failed to make the stir he
had in his younger days and he grad
ually came to make friends with OBJ
security in a little Office in one of New
York's big buildings. His name is al
most unknown to the generation which
has now come in, but it was a familiar
one to the generation Which fought the
war and lived out the craze for fiat
ism in finances.

men in particular, but it has certain
predomindting features which bring the
issue down to two or three men. This
picture is made up Of Richard Olney,
secretary of State; William c. Whit
ney, eX-secretary of the navy; John
Griffin Carlisle, secretary of the treas
Try; Grover Cleveland, Ex-Governor
James c. Campbell, Of Ohio, eX-Gover-

tache, Carlisle is clean shaver, and
Morrison has full beard. For this
reason there is very little resemblance
TO Carlisle in this picture, and Morri-
son is only very fair ,ly outlined, al
though the massive forehead of the lat
ter looms up prominently.
Mr.. Cleveland's face does not assert
itself in the picture with any degree
OF glaringness, although there is some
thing more than a suspicion of the IA
miliar lineaments of the chief execu-
Sive. The nose is there, and the eyes
are to be detected. The hair is some
what too abundant, and the mustache
is a trife longer and less compact than
that Of the president.
A SUSPICION OF WHITNEY.
The face which shows quite distinct
~ is that of William c. Whitney. This
is perhaps due to the fact that the ia
miliar eyeglasses of the former sec
rotary OF the navy are quite apparent

very handsome and clever wife would

semblance to her famous husband
Coming to the composite of the Re
publican statesman it is more easy to
distinguish familiar features than in
the other. This picture represents the
combined portraits of Levi P. Morton,
of New York; Thomas B. Reed, of
Maine; William Mckinley, of Ohio;
Benjamin Harrison, of Indiana; Viii
liam B. Allison. of Iowa, Shelby NJ. Gull
lom, of Illinois, and Matthey Stanley
Quay, of Pennsylvania Many others
might have been included but an in
discriminate addition would only serve
to entangle the picture.
PLENTY OF WHISPERS.
The whiskers of Allison, Harrison and
Cullom are offset by the clean shaver
faces of Mckinley, Reed and Morton.
The mustache of Matt Quay has only
the similar adornment of General Har-
rison to back it up. One of the strange
features of this picture is the way the
Mckinley nose looms up The McKin-
ley eyes and a suspicion of the Napo-
leonic expression which embellishes the
features of the Ohio statesman can also
be detected.
The prevalence of whiskers helps to
make the portrait look something like
ex-President Harrison, and his friends
can cheer their hearts by this if they
are so inclined.
There is nothing startling in the
picture to boom the cause of Levi P.
Morton, and even the massive coun-

posite is to look like the others and

appearances.
MATTHEW'S LOOMS UP.
This is wnere the Hon. Claude Mat
thews, governor of Indiana, comes IN.
The composite is not so bad a picture
of Indiana's great Democrat, and If he
were nominated some of the campaign
pictures would not look hit more like
him. Governor Matthews can be class
ed among the dark horses of the pos
sibilitieS of the Democracy, and II the
convention delegates go to the west Ia
seek a standard bearer the lightning
may hit him, although the friends OF
Bill Morrison, of Illinois, say that he
has first mortgage in that emergency
The business-like face of eX-GoVer-
nor Robert E. Pattison, Of Pennsylva-
MIA, also shows in the composite. Some
of the pictures of Governor Matthews
and Ex-Governor Pattison make them
look not unlike each other, but in real
life there is a big difference. Ex-GoVe1-
nor Pattison is supposed 10 be some
thing more than a dark horse, from
the mere fact that on two occasions
he carried the state for his party in
gubernatorial contests. He is only 46
years old, and he knows all the secrets
Of politics from the ground up.
AN OHIO SHADOW.
While James C. Campbell, of Ohio,
says that he is not in the race this
year, the fact that the Democrats of
his native state are going to put up
fight for him means something. In
Ohio even the babies are politicians,
and when a band of grown-up skilled
Ohio leaders say they are going to do
something the other people are not go
ing DO have a walkover. For those
reasons Ex-Governor Campbell's face
forms a part of the composite. 1t does
not show prominently, and even his
