DR.. w. H. FELTON,, populist nominee
for elector- at-large in Georgia, makes
this announcement: I therefore
choose to protect my business inter-
ests. which are common to all the
farmers Of the state, rather than sub
NIT any longer to democratic misrule,
incapacity, and the continued wreck
of every agricultural interest in the
state. With these lights before me,
declining any longer to be "foot-
matt for democratic politicians to
wipe their feet upon, and declining to
90 back to the negroes, where Chair
man Jones assigned all Southern
populists, I shall discharge a free
mans duty by refusing to vote for
William j. Bryan, and cast my vote
for William Mckinley.

The Indignation of Spanish papers
at the circulated report that if the
Cuban rebellion is not ended by April
Spain will abandon the island is
not easy to understand. How
much longer do they expect the
reading world to watch Weyler's
quarter Of million men do nothing
and yet pretend to believe he could
do great things if he would?
Orleans County monitor. [volume] (Barton, Vt.) 1872-1953, 1896-11-02

Genera Weyler has been having
himself interviewed on the Cuban
war. He says he will take the field IN
person If it is necessary, and also that
the chances of Spanish success are ex-
cellent. If this is so he will probably
consider that there is no necessity of
his taking the field. It would not be
well for him to so imperil the Spanish
chances.

TECHNICALITIES.

In denouncing legal technical
tiles by which guilty man es-
capes merited punishment, people
seldom look on the other side OF
the question and consider the
MANY cases wherein technical vlo-
lation of the law sends the unlucky i
offender to prison. With all Its
faults and seeming crudeness the
common law is based on common
sense and the proven principles OF
exact justice. No creation OF the
mind of man can approximate per-
lection. nor can he elaborate any
system economic, social or admin
istrative by which equal rights can
be impartially enjoyed. In the
nature Of things some one will be
favored above others, and often to
degree that will excite the jeal-
ousy, and sometimes the rabid de-
nunciation Of the less fortunate.
The law touches all classes in al
most every phase Of everyday life,
and in it's operation there is little
trouble in finding some defect,
real or fancied, that appears on It's
surface as indubitable evidence OF
the general worthlessness Of exist
ing codes to meet the needs OF socl-
etv. In criminal cases the tendency
to denounce alleged miscarrlages
of Justice has it's growth in an i'm
perfect knowledge Of law, and igno-
rance of the real nature OF the
special case that calls forth un-
favorable criticism. Those unac-
ouainted with the formalities Of
legal procedure often confound
criminal charge as direct evidence
of guilt, and when the final out
come is not what they expected
: thew are loud in their condemna
, ton of the technical construction
of the law that effected a resul
contrary to their views.
: The truth about technicalitie
r is that they largely favor the pros
S ecution and entangle the accuse'
