mont victory " that a person need
not have been particularly astute to
foresee that the Dutch would take
Holland, " and in profound article
following proceeds to demolish
Bourke Cochran and his Madison
Square Garden speech. If that
once celebrated orator ever reads
this flaying and flagitious editorial
he may be sorry he was so audaci-
Gus as to attempt an exposition
of Democratic principles without
first consulting Pike county ora
Gle. The New York World which
at one time was accredited with
considerable sense and Judgment
by Democrats does not treat the
Vermont election with such a show
of utter contempt. It says:
Complete returns from the Yer
mont election emphasize its fateful
significance. 1t is useless to talk of
the Dutch having taken Holland. A
Republican victory was a matter of
course in this New England strong
hold An avalanche was not OK
pected.
The total vote was nearly II, 900
more than in the election for Cover
nor in 1894 and 13, 900 more than in
1892 The Republican plurality is
9,093, which is the largest ever re-
corded in the State. It exceeds by
nearly 10000 the majority against
Greeley in the disastrous campaign
of 1879
1t surpasses the total vote for
Harrison in 1898 and the total for
Governor in 1894. The Republican
plurality is almost three times the
total Democratic vote. 1t is 1000
above the average Republican plu-
rality for the past ten years.
The Democratic losses and Repub-
lican gains are nearly uniform
throughout the State. They show
that neither the farmers nor the
workingmen of this intelligent COM
munity have been carried away
with the free silver delusion. II any
Republicans have joined the Demo.
Gratis on this issue the returns prove
that for every vote gained the Dem
ocrats have lost five.
The lesson of the Vermont cleo
tion would seem to be that in poll
tics as in other affairs honesty is
the best policy.

Beaton and two other yod2k men Of the
village discovered the body while hunting
In the woods They notified the poiioe and
Coroner Banning Of Mount Vernon.
The coroner has discovered evidence
which leads him TO believe that the wom-
an was murdered
The woman's hands were securely bound
by handkerchief, tightly knotted. The
spot whore the body was found is 500 feet
from the road known as Stovenson's lane
The spot Is seldom frequented, which 40
counts for the length Of time the body had
lain undiscovered II violence was used In
killing the woman, time has ofiaoed out
ward evidence II is not known that any
woman has been reported missing from
Rye or Mount Vernon
The body had been exposed for weeks,
perhaps months, and Ia unacceptable.
When found, the head was reclining on
small stone. The woman's shoes were
about ten feet from the body. Her hat, Of
dark velvet and ornamented with POM
RoHut was y AoW toop IrOul bnb nOuy.
The clothing was q navy blue skirt OF
good material, light colored shirt waist
and black shoulder cape. Her pocket
book was lying by her side and contained
4B cents and pawntioket issued by W.
jacobson, 2050 Third avenue, New York,
for plush garment, on which she had re-
ceived 911s.
On this ticket was the only olew TO her
name. On the bottom Of the ticket was
written, evidently by the pawnbroker, the
name "Herring." A ticket from Mount
Vernon to Rye over tho New Haven rail-
road was also found In the pooketbook.
This was dated May 90
Beyond the clothing and papers there is
no olow 10 the woman's identify.
The body was found In an isolated
woods and In the vicinity OF a negro colo
ny, where many murders have been COM
mitted. Il is possible that the woman may
have been assaulted and murdered by
some Of the colored Tufflans in the neigh
boRhood.

ROCHESTER. Sept. 9.--An action has
just been noticed for the coming trial
term calendar which involves q very Inn
portant question Of law and the court OF
appeals Will be called upon to oonstrue
one Of Its own decisions In another leading
case, which also had its origin In the oity
Of Rochester.
Upon the death OF E. K. Warren,
brewer, Holmes B. Stevens was appointed
guardian Of his infant son, and during
the management OF the brewery borrowed
from the Union bank S25, 600 for the pur-
pose Of improving and managing the
plant Il is now claimed on behalf OF the
infant that the guardian had no authority
to mortgage the property; that the court
had no power to authorize him SO TO mort
gage it; that the mortgage is absolutely
void, and that the bank cannot foreolose 1t.
In a previous decision the trial court
and general term held that II the loan had
been made In good faith the act was valid,
but the court Of appeals reversed the deoi-
sion, claiming that the lower court had
no power TO authorize the mortgage. The
decision Of this case will Affect many trusts

LITTLE, RooK Sept. 9.-The Democracy
Of Arkansas has achieved the greatest vio-
tory In the history of the state. Never be-
fore was such an overwhelming majority
given any gubernatorial candidate as that
which was given General Daniel W. Jones,
and never was suoh large vote polled In
the state. Conservative estimates based
on partial returns received now place the
total vote at 1876, 900 and give Jones clear
majority over all opposition combined Of
from 10000 to $4,000 The figures are
coming In slow, and many enthusiastic
Democrats claim that when the back ooun-
ties are all In Jones' majority will run
more than 10000 votes. The state tiok-
OF elected is as follows: For governor,
Daniel W. Jones of Pulaski county; for
secretary of state, Alexander c. Hull Of
Boone; for attorney general, K. b. Ktns-
worthy Of Clark; for auditor, Clay Sloan
Of Lawrence; for treasurer, Ransom Gull
ley OF lizard; for state land commissioner,
J. T. Ritohie Of Jefferson; for superin-
tendent Of education, Junius Jordan OF

Not in Favor of Free Silver.

The forged article purporting to
come from the London Financial
News" and which was reprinted in
this country as evidence in favor
of the free coinage of silver, has
been emphatically denied again and
again, but some of the Bryan Demo-
cratic newspapers persist in the re-
fusal to accept the denial. Among
such newspapers are the Atlanta
Constitution" the Wheeling, West
Va, Register" and the Omaha
"World- Herald. " The latter makes
the puerile claim that the denial is
only qualified one and that an OK.
animation of the files of the London
newspaper to find the article in
question is now going on. Only one
of the free silver organs which
printed the forgery has had the
honesty to acknowledge its mistake
and that is the Salt Lake ''Tribune. +"
The others either ignore the denial
altogether or try to bluff the forgery
through. It Is only natural that
newspapers which are advocating a
dishonest dollar should adopt this
course. se.-Philadelphia Press.

The Free Coinage Problem.

A penny magazine, containing
popular discussions ON the money
question from a Sound Currency
standpoint, puts information on
this disturbing question within the
reach of all.
The first two numbers of the
" Present Problems " series are
4" The Free Coinage Problem" by
Lewis N. Dembitz, of Louisville,
KY, and T" A Horrible Crime" by
Alex. P. Hull, of Atlanta, Ga. The
latter contains several clever satires
ON the money question. The former
contains, in 4S small pages,a clear,
concise and complete a presentation
of the free coinage problem as can
be had at any price. The history of
our coinage acts since 1884 is accur-
ate, and as full as is necessary to a
general understanding of the present
question. The reasoning as to how
farmers, laborers and silver mine
owners will be affected by the pro-
posed legislation is sound and thor
ough. 1t is just such popular
discussion as should be in the hands
of all intelligent voters before next
November. 1t is published at cent

Editorial.
DECEIT or IGNoRANCE.

The Milford Dispatch in its issue
of Sept. 3 publishes an article entit-
led "An English View" which it
credits to the London Financial
News of March 10th. The substance
of the reprint is that "the trade of
the world which is now in English
hands will not long remain there if
the United States goes to bimetal :
lie basis with q free and unlimited
coinage of silver, ''and that should
such an event transpire in this coun-
try everything here would take on
new face labor and industry
would gain new life, and that the
grasp of the gold standard ON the
products of the world would be
loosened and prices would rise. 1t
is in short that the financial and
commercial prosperity of our coun-
try depends on our adoption of free
silver coinage. The news of Aug.
15 says of this alleged "view" mo
such article was ever printed by
us. So far from advocating free sill
yer coinage we have persistently
pointed out that 1t spells repudia-
ton and the withdrawal of all
European Capital. "
The above denial has been given
wide publicity by the papers of the
country, and any editor who does
not sell his exchanges in the wrap
pers by the pound should know that
the article above referred to is q
fraud and a forgery, and if he does
know it and palms it off on his read
ers to influence their minds he GER
tainly must be guilty of a deliberate
attempt TO deceive. We cannot be-
heve that the Editor in Chief of the
Dispatch would wilfully pervert his
paper TO such uses. 1t is more char
liable to assume that the Office cat
during temporary absence of the
Chief sneaked this unmitigated pro-
geny of his scissors into the columns
of the paper, without enquiring or
knowing 1--WE can readily believe)
aught of its authenticity, or per-
haps even comprehending, if he did
so know, the dilemma in which he
was placing its responsible head. We
are urging Mr.. Harts denomination
to Congress from this district and
would not for a moment have his
constituents suppose that he was 50
ignorant as not to know the fact OF
so subtle as to be a party to such o
wanton attempt to deceive his hon
est readers in search of truth. II
must have been the office cat, but
all the same it is ignorance or deceit.
