END OF THE TRIAL
BROTHER BROWN COMES OUT
OF 1T SMILING.
He Is Aquitted of the Charge of Adultery
and UnministerIai Conduct
Many Friends Left.

San Francisco, March 1.-THE coun-
ell that is sitting in judgment on Rev.
DIR. Brown has acquitted the accused
pastor on one charge. The councilmen
came TO the conclusion that Brown
was not guilty of any immoral conduct
with Mrs. NJ. A. Stockton. They based
their opinion on the following facts:
First, that Mrs Stockton was not a
woman whose testimony could be taxi
en- for the truth; second, that there
was no evidence introduced that was
stroIuy enough, in a legal sense. to con-
vict the pastor; third, that he had
shown Mrs. stockton great kindness In
the way that a Christian minister
should, and that she had taken advan-
tage of that kindness.
The Post says: A verdict has been
reached in the case OF Rev. c. o.
Brown and the committee on find
ings has declared the minister guilty of
conduct unbecoming a Christian min
lister. The committee finished its re-
port to-day and presented IL 20 the
council. The report, which is about
1000 words in length, will not be made
public until after 1t has been submitted
to the Congregational church. which
will probably be Tomorrow night. 1t
Is believed the report of the council
will exonerate Brown on the charge OF
immortality. but Will find him guilty of
unministerial conduct. Upon the pre-
else wording of the report. under the
unministerial conduct specification.
will depend Browns future.
The council may or may not fix the
punishment, but even II no penalty Is
mentioned, a severe condemnation by
the council would result in Browns
loss of his church. Should this occur
the pastors friends declare they will
form a new church for him In this city
Each member OF the council has taken
a solemn pledge of secrecy and the re-
port viii not be made public until II Is
presented 20 the congregation Of the
First Congregational church to-mor-
row evening. The closing paragraph
is TO the effect that. although no evil
dence has clearly convicted Brown oi
d any single act OF immortality. yet th'
testimony has been such as TO throw
grave doubts upon the mans mora
character. Even those most prejudiceC
against Brown admit that with thii
paragraph added. the verdict Is al
that the testimony Justifies.
The council excused Browns action
after the charges had been made pub
lie on account of his quick temper
with regard TO the young lady. who
is alleged he threatened. the council
says: We find his conduct to hav
violated all rules which should contrC
the actions OF gentleman and Chris
tian minister, and we censure him 70
IL. while we gladly recognize the kind
ly aid. many words OF appreciation an
reparation offered by him TO the youn
lady In our presence"
The council says Browns explanatio
OF the payment OF money TO Mrs Da
wilson Is unsatisfactory. but there
not a trace Of suspicion In the minds c
the council concerning the hithert
stainless reputation OF DIR. Brow
Brown and his friends consider IN
verdict a complete vindication.

sence and their minds inflated with the
possibility of acquiring solid leadership

waged in his behalf is the note of hys-
terra. Messrs. Bryan. Alleged. Tillman
Debs Coxey and the rest have not the
power to rival the deeds of Marat Bar

ingly like the leaders of the Terror of
France in mental and moral attitude.
Plus an added touch Of the grotesque
rising from the utter folly as well as the
base dishonesty of their trying to play
such a role in such a country as ours.
For Mr.. Bryan We can feel the con-
temptuous pity always felt for the
small man unexpectedly, thrust into a
big place. He does not look well in
lions skin. but that is chiefly the fault
of those who put the skin on him. But
in Mr.. Aitgeld's case we see all too clearly
the jaws and hide of the wolf through
the heecy covering. Mr.. Altgeld is
much more dangerous man than Mr..
Bryan. He is much slyer, much more in
telligent. much less silly. much more free
from all the restraints of some public
morality. The one is INSCRIPTIONS from
vanity. the other from calculation The
one plans wholesale reputation with a

The Middle West Never Fails.

There has for some time been an ap-
prehension among Eastern Republicans

1t is time that eastern Republicans
should fully realize that Illinois and
the middle West states not only are
safely Republican, but that they are
going to pile up majorities in Novem-
Der for Mckinley and Hobart, for
sound money and national honor.
which will challenge the majorities in
the eastern states.
