FOR ASSAULT.
Michael Tucker on Trial for Thrash
ing Constable T0bin.
Latter Handled Without G owes by Defend
ants Counsel.

The trial of the case OF State W. Michael
Tucker. formerly of Georgiaville, for an
assault on Special Constable Richard
Tobin, Jr., proved a very interesting one
for several residents of Smithfeld, who
came into court either to hear the testi-
mony or as witnesses. Hugh j. Carroll,
Esq, who defended Tucker, before Judge
Wilbur and jury, handled Tobin with
out gloves. The town Is prohibition
one, but according to Officer Tobin there
is liquor sold there, one of the mo st note
worthy saloons being known as the
"Shanty. !"
Mr. Tobin testified that Tucker was one
of a crowd OF young fellows who were
on Main street in the village Of Georgia
Vile last Christmas night, making "a
noise that disturbed the quieter class Of
dwellers and when witness told the men
TO go home one of them struck him, and
from the effect of the blow he was for n
long time unconscious. Afterward the
officer went to the house where the men
boarded and while trying TO arrest Tucker
was kicked by him so badly that for q
time the side of his neck was very sore.
On cross-examination Officer Iobin
said be was "A police constable ana his
compensation was the rather remarka le
one of -. 50 month. He denied he had
ever drank whisky with Tucker Of "a

witness said. WAS the local barroom, but
he refused to admit that his Income was
increased by permitting the Shanty'
proprietors To keep open. Mr.. Tobin
denied that he had tasted drop of liquor
on Christmas day and went into the
Shanty a few minutes before the troubl q
on the street, to look for n man he
wanted to find. The witness said that
the same night there was "a Christmas
tree at one of the churches, but he did
not have any desire to make himself any
more conspicuous on this account With
Tucker, when Tobin first saw him on tho
street, were three other men, and tho
party seemed anxious to get one Of their
number TO the boarding house which was
not great distance away. All of the men
witness was sure We're very noisy.
The defendant denied striking the
officer and said lobin had come out Of tho
saloon mad at something and in rough
language ordered witness and his COM
panions home. They were at the time
but "a very short distance from the place
they boarded.
Mrs. Patti, tie lady with whom Tucker
boarded. and her husband gave him "a
first class character ana Mrs. Patt said she
keptTucker S money for him while he was
working at the mills. some testimony
was introduced by the state to show that
the defendant had onco been fined for an
assault.
Patrick Sullivan and Pierce Stakeham,
who were indicted with Tucker, have dis
appeared.
Attorney General +. c. Dubois repre-
sented the state at the trial to-day.
MIR fuckers counsel claimed that the
disappearance of Sullivan and Stakeham
had seriously interfered with his clients

Another Story.
Another witness said: At twenty
minutes past four yesterday afternoon /
was the Countess De Rusee rushing into
the street from the Bazaar shouting lire.
L looked up and saw nothing but "a little
smoke rising from the roof OF tho struc-
ture, but suddenly | heard "a confused
lnurmur deepening into roar Then
the roof OF the Bazaar burst into flames
ana Instantly there was terrible rush OF
people into the street. There was such "a
crush from the inside OF the building 10

on the pavement and Others fell upon
them, bruising the helpless ones. Many
Of them threw themselves on the ground
and rolled over and over In their attempts
To stifie the flames. General Meunier with
his clothes ablaze rushed into the court

into trough OF water. Forty persons
sought refuge in Baron Rothchild's house.
Ladies with their dresses in flames rolled
on the sidewalk uttering fearful shrieks.

THESE MEN ARE THE POLITICAL
AGENTS OF THE MONOPOLIEs
AND TRUSTS.

A lot of machine Democrats who
care more for party than they do for
the welfare of the State-men who
would like to see Ransom back in
the Senate, Railroad Carr back in
the Governors Off 90, and Cleveland
back in the Presidents chair-are
trying to Tighten the people and
make them believe that they will all
be put in the penitentiary if they do
not pay their taxes by certain day.
This is all rot. Not single one of
them believe what they say. Don't
anybody get frightened. This class
of politicians would SANDER their
State and prostitute their religion if
they thought thereby they could fool
the people into utting them in Of
fee where they could get rich by be-
traying the people and serving the
monopolies and trusts. These are
the same machine politicians who
have been trying to defeat the local
school tax by saying that it would
be a good thing if there was not dan
ger of a man being put in the peni-
tertiary for not paying the tax. These
are the same machine politicians who
are now making desperate efforts to
make the tariff and the Trigger
the issues in the next campaign. so
as to call attention from the great
aud real issues of economic reforms.
When the "nigger" and the tariff are
the issues, the gold ring, the mono
poles and trusts always slip into
power under cover. and proceed to
rob the people while their attention
is drawn off on side Issues or their
reason warped by sentiment or blind
ed by prejudice worked up by the
machine politician. These same
politicians are the political agents of
tho monopolies and trusts.
Let the people be on their guard.
Eternal vigilance is the price of lib

MARYLAND DEMOCRACY SLUMPS
BACK.

The Maryland Democratic Con-
vention last week failed to endorse
Bryan aud lodged the money ques-
ton. The action Of the convention
was highly satisfactory to all of the
gold Democrats who last year bolted
and supported Mckinley. In short
they have sacrificed their principles
in order TO harmon1zs and get the
machine Democrats and so called
free silver Democrats all together
This action is significant because
there is more or less evidence of an
attempt by the machine Democrats
in a number Of States to do the same
thing. The Charlotte Observer aud
the Southern Railroad Democrats are
trying to work the Same scheme in
North Carolina. Will the News and
Observer and the Democratic poll
ticians who have made loud profess
sions for silver agree to the scheme!
If this scheme is carried out IN
enough States it will mean that the
next National Democratic Conven-
ton will refuse to nominate Bryan,
but instead will put up some gold
bug democrat in diguise on Il strsd-
die. bug platform, while the demo
cratic party in each State will GO in
league with the railroads and State
monopolies. There are powerful
forces at work to this end. LIT the
masses of the people be IN their
guard, and see that they are not

WHY'S?

Why did the Railway Commission
reduce telegraph rates and at the
same time refuse to reduce railroad
.ratesi They did right to reduce teie-
grap rates, but not more than one
man in hundred ever uses the tele-
graph. Ga the other hand, every
ian woman and child in the State is
footed directly or indirectly by
railroad rstes. DID the Railway
Commission act in good faith in re
ducing tha telegraph rates. or did it
do,. to try to draw attention from
-teir f..ilure to reduce railroad rates9
II +he Railway Commission acted
from principle, and was moved by a
sense If justice, fairness and equ ity
in reducing telegraph rates, then
the sane reasons should have argued
TO them ten times stronger to reduce
freight and passenger rates. Thell
conduct in this matter, to say the
least, is very strange.

THE PLUCKY CUBAN FArkIOrs GAIN
ING GROUND.

The plucky and patriotic Cubans
are holding their own if not gaining
ground in their struggle for indie
pendence. They have more cause to
revolt against Spain than We had a
hundred years ago to revolt against
Great Britain. They are taxed
heavier and more unjustly. Spain has
been more oppressive and cruel to
them than any civilized nation has
ever been to one of its colonies. But
as cruel, shameless and indefensible
as Spain's conduct has been, it is
more defensible than the position
of our government in standing idle
and refusing to give helping hand
while the cruel Spaniard butchers
the Cubans like dogs and outrages
their women and children. France
and other countries across the ocean
sent us help IN our struggle for lib
erty. We refuse now to help Cuba
right at our doors. What is the
matterf The people want to go to
the RESCUE of Cuba, but Cleveland
and Mckinley are against it. They
stand in with the Spanish bondhold-
ers. The baleful influence of the
money trust is paralyzing and cor
rupting nearly every government In
the world. In 1900 the defendants
of our revolutionary forefathers will
rise In their might and drive the Tories
and money changers from the temple
Of liberty. There are million of Re-
publican voters who now regret that
they did not put Bryan at the helm
of State last November.
