they can, whatever may happen, live
within themselves in spite of the alb
sence of prosperity and notwithstand-
ing the calamity of others. And what is
the matter: what the cause of all the
trouble? What the remedy? One word
answers all. Money. It's money. There
is a lack of money. There is not enough
money. AT the root of this distrust,
stagnation and depression lies this one
lack and want. The eastern papers are
criticising Senator Wolcott's silver mis-
icise Major Mckinley's endorsement Of
the trip, and its purported effort. The
gold of the country is anchored, the
Greenback is the object of continuous
attack and threatened with retirement,
public revenues are running behind, ma
tional and individual debt are steadily
upon the increase. while the forging of
the chains of London's financial and
commercial slavery for this country
goes steadily on, every blow being sec
onded by a Democratic administration
and its horde of gold monometallic
hackers. The veins and arteries hay
ing been dried up and their life c0ngest-
cd the heart is threatened with col
apse, and there comes a cry of ilnpa
tience from the New York Tribune
against attributing all the trouble to
the greenback or TO the bank fear of ii,
as a currency. sit is in the last de-
gree absurd" it says, ito assert, as
some currency cranks of the country
do. that the recent failures denote re-
turning distrust of the greenback." The
Tribune also criticises exaggerated
1t might more plainly
have said gold-bugism, for that is what
it meant. Gold is good thing, but its
possession at the expense of stringency
and of hard times is not a good thing.
which fact the Tribune is just now ap-
as will other exaggerated
papers Of New York in
he near future.

IT WILL END TO-DAY.
Only the Closing Argument and the
 Verdic..

The Mesa murder trial is all over but the closing argument for the pros ecution and the verdict. Proceedings opened yesterday morning win wit nesses in rebuttal. They were Dr. Wylie, John Peterson and William Kimball. The first in opposition to the theory of Dr. Williams the day be fore said the wounds upon the head of Andy Grant, the hobo, were suficisn. to cause death. Dr. Williams had given it as his opinion that death was the result of alcoholism. Anothe z theory eff the defense was that Grant had received the wounds upon his h.sa by falling from a haystack upcn a cul tivator. John Peterson testified that the haystack from which it is alleged that he fell had been undiseurbe1 S Ica it was put up. No one had been on the stack, he said, at the time of the murder, for the summer rains and dust had left the thatch in such a shape that track upon i5 would have bean as visible as if made upon snow. There were no marks of any kind upon it a. that time or for some time after. Judge Kibbey will close for the lte-- ritoTy.

Al Aged Suspect Of the Sal
 Francisco Tragedy
MRS. CL0TE'S MURDERER
Evidence Against Him Based
 On Cuts and Scratches
He Admits His Presence In the House But Says He Left Before the Screams of the Dying Wo- man Were Heard

San Francisco. Dec. 16.-Although the police have been diligently work ing upon the mysterious murder of Mrs. Mary c. Cute, who was found weIterihg in her blood alt S32 Guerrero street yesterday afternoon, they are as yet without any definite clue as to the identity of her assassin. This morning Albert Hoff, an upholsterer. aged 6S, was taken into custody on suspicion, but after subject:ng him to severe examination the authorities were unable to fix the crime upon him with any degree of certainty.
 Hoff's statements are somewhat conflicting and are to the effect that he was in the house laying carpets but left there before 5 o'clock and while others were still working there He was unable tO satisfactorily ex- pIaln several scratches and cuts upon his hands and this fact alone seems so be the only evidence upon which the police are detaEning him.

WOULDIBE TRAIN WRECKER.
Anson Phelps Placed 6 Tie Before a
 w. N. Y. & P. Train.

Nunda, Dec 16.-Anscn Phelps, formerly of Grcveland, was a,rraigned in police court this morning on charge of attempting to wreck train.
 The attempt was made last night on the south bound train No. 214 on the Swains branch of the Western New York & Pennsylvania railroad, between this place and Nunda Juno tion, by putting tie across the track Engineer H. C. Mead felt q sudden jolting to his engine. It was than found that in between the drive wheels was wedged huge pisces of ,ies
 Conductor George Hende1shot, up- on stopping the train saw man drcp over a fence, and he gave chase and soon captured the would-ba train wrecller. Placing him on the trlia he brought him to Nunda, where he was turned over to Officers Wright and Clark.
 Conductor Hendershot recognized the fellow as the same man he had elected from his train on the north bound trip for refusing to pay his fare. When he was searched by the officers two five dollar bills were found in his pocket.
 The fellow gave his name as Will liam Jackson of Buffalo, aged 65 years. He said he placed the tie on the track to get revenge as the con ductor put him off the train. He did not appear to be drunk but slightIy unbalanced in mind. There were fonty passengers on the train at the time, mostly teachers from the ia- statute which just closed at Geneseo.
 In police court this morning Jack son was recognized by a number of persons to be Phelps. When Phelps saw he was recognized he admi ted that he had given a wrong name, but said he was living in Buffalo.
 Engineer Mead was sworn tn s morning and testified that he disco's- erled Phelps on top of the tender uf his engine on the down trip and or dered him off. Conductor Hende-ehot also ejected him from the train.
 People knowing Phelps claim he has insane spells when he is not account able for what he dces. In court this morning he laughed when telling the judge he committed the crime, for which ten years in state prison is the penalty.
 He was held for the grand jury and was taken to the Geneseo jail.

MENTAL SLAVERY"
Superintendent McCowan at the Bap- tist Church Last Night.

Superintendent McCowan of the In dian school delivered the third of the series of lectures at the First Baptist church last night His subject was '.Mental Slavery" and it was treated in an eloquent manner. It contained enough of excellent humor to break what might otherwise be a mono, ,pny of philosophical reflections, though they were interesting. A great deal of pathos was introduced fer the st ug- gle from either physical or men tai slavery into state of freedom is marked by the most pathetic inc-- dents. The Indian question W tn which the lecturer is thorough y fa- rniliar. was treated in a most able man her and new ideas, backed by force ful reasoning, were advanced Sad he in the beginning of descrip ion of the Indians emancipatfon: q am net one to go into ecstadfes of thrilling horror over the treatment of the, red man. His fate was self invited. Fate does not intrude-he Is a dog that does our bidding. The Indian hrt'ad a revolutions; the sequel Is evolution. For every wrong done him the Indiaa has a scalp; for every crime he feE- tilized the soil with pale face blood; for every bullet he swapped an arrow. and for every gallows burning stake.'' The, audience was equal to the capacity of the church and it was liberal in its praise of the lecturer $ theme and his style of treating it.
