IT WAS LIBEL.
Grand Jury Returns Presentment Against
Agnus at WeIlington's Suit


Agnus at WellinGton's Suit.
BALTIMORE, Md, Nov. 80. - The
grand jury at p. III. to-day returned
a true bill against Gen. Felix Agnus,
of the Baltimore american, on the
charge of libel preferred by Senator
Wellington. Gen. Agnus was admit
ted to bail in the sum of $1,000.
The Senator claims that the alleged
libel was published in last Fridays
american in the form of an editorial
entitled, "Wellington's Disgrace"
The Senator says that it is his inten-
ton to bring a civil suit for damages
against the AmerjcaR in a large sum,
and that he has no doubt but that he
will win the case. The action of the
Senator caused a decided sensation
when it became known, especially
among the politicians of both parties.
The alleged libelous matter was the
republication of an editorial from the
Washington Post on Senator Yelling
ton and short editorial on the same
page headed The Disgrace of Vel
lington,' in which it was stated that
the Washington Post article was true.
The most libelous item in the POST
article is probably the one in which
it is alleged that Mr.. Wellington is
openly Offering to purchase votes for
a Senatorial aspirant. To this the
Americdn said:
1T is in all respects the bitterest
thing that has ever been said against
public man from this State, and the
worst of it is that it is true, and that
it will be read by every member Of
Congress and of the Administration. d"

Ex-senator PETER.

PETER, the Kansas sage and states
man, announces his retirement from
politics. PETER will be missed in the
pages of the Congressional Record. 1t
cost the country a pretty penny to
print his speeches and edit him. PETER
was a bore; but it must be set down
to his everlasting credit that he did
not speculate or sell himself while he
sat in Senate He lived frugally, and
saved money. The Washington cor
respondent of the Louisville Courier
Jo2trH02, FOOTING up his gains. says:
For the term his salary was $50, 600;
he received $1,000 mileage and $3.50 on
stationary account. His wife or
daguhter was his private secretary,
for which he received during the term
$1,000. Another member of the fam
lily was borne on the payroll of the
Senate, and rs 81 600 per annum is a
moderate salary for a Senate employee
let it go at that-SG000. Thus the
PETER family received from 1891 to
1897 the sum of $46050. Add to this
the amount the Senator received for
contributions to newspapers and you
have snug little fortune. 1t is not
at his discredit that he saved his
money.
Some Senators manage neither to
save money nor reputation. PETER,
was more fortunate; he took away as
much reputation as he brought to the
Senate and a great deal more money.

Like Senator Day, Mr.. Dick takes
up plenty of room when he speaks.
Whether the Senate Chamber will be
large enough to accommodate him
when he becomes excited remains to
be seen. He never takes part in any
debate unless interested.
Senator Randall is probably the
most aggressive debater, while Sena-
tor Finley is regarded as the quietest
member, with Senator Emory as a
close second.
Senator Wilkinson has seen longer
continuous service than any of his

The Low Price of Coffee

The farmer who is not happy this
year must be a very ill-conditioned
sort of person. Big crops and good
prices are not all he has to be thank
full for. The staple luxury of his table,
coffee isso cheap that it must be a
very poor farmer, indeed, who cannot
afford to drink the eXhilarating bev-
erage without stint. The proceeds of
a bushel of wheat will now buy twice
as many pounds of coffee as in some
former years when wheat was worth
even % cents to 80 cents bushel more
than at present. No. coffee is quoted
under cents pound at importing
points-the lowest price on record, ex-
cepting possibly that in 1882
Large profits heretofore when prices
ruled high greatly stimulated the
coffee industry. The areas of pro
dGction were much extended; and as
the young trees are now beginning to
bear the yield is becoming excessive.
The next crop promises to be even
larger than that of this year. 1t is
stated that much of the new growth
will yield its first berries this season.
1t is, therefore, probable that for
abundance of coffee and at prices
that will.nOt only gladden. the farmers
but also the hearts of all the good
housewives in the land; and experts
say that its quality will be superior,
as the young tree yields a better pro-
duct than does the Old ones. These
assurances should also be comforting
to those who count the country's in
come and OutgO. and who are anxious
about trade balances. This country
buys annually more than 4,000,0 900
bags Of coffee, which in times quite re-
cent cost $30,000,000 TO $4,000, 600
more thsn it is costing ROW. 1t other
words, We may now keep at home
that mueE gold, or an equal value in
products. which we formerly sent
abroad in part settlement Of our cot
fee bills; or we may sell the usual sur
plus and get that much cask
Coffee is but one of the many i'm
portant articles of import We are now
buying at low and greatly reduced
prices, and which are telling factors
in the extraordinary foreign trade
balance accommodating in our fayor.
This influence is of greater eonse-
quence than is generally supposed.
Large exports of breadstuffs and in
creased sales abroad of the prodacts
of our mills, with due allowance for
decreased quantities of imports. do
not account for monthly balances ex~
ceeding $50, 600, 000. We are selling to |
other countries an unusual amount of I
many articles, some OF them at good !
prices; on the other hand, we are buy
ing less from them than usual. But |
of still greater moment in the long
run is the fact that many things we
buy cost less than formerly, and will
probably remain cheap indefinitely.
II in the future the prices of grain
shall be lower, and the demand less,
we may accept the situation with bet
ter grace and less anxiety so long as
,offee and sugar and many other i'm
articles of import can be OBJ
aimed 81 preseOt low values. !,

WILL SHUT DOW N.
The Local Potseries to Close This
~ Week for the Holidays and Until
the Wage Scale is Settled.

The Warwick and Wheeling potter
iesp will close down Friday for the
holidays and it is expected that they
will resume shortly after the first of
the new year. They will not start up,
however, until the new wage scale
question is settled. The workmen
have believed all along that they
would get a 1917 per cent. increase at
Christmas time. but this fact is not
positively settled as yet and is being
debated on at the Eastern confer
ence of manufacturers and potters.
Jesse Jackson, of this city it attending
the conference as one of the represent
atives of the potters. The potters here
are all united in the hope that any diff
ferences with the manufacturers may
be healed, as the prospect for the pot
terry trade and steady employment is
good providing no trouble is caused by.
a disagreement over the wage scale.
This year has been the busiest that the
Warwick has enjoyed in its history,
and at the Wheeling pottery business
has been recently very encouraging,
with good prospects for the future.

The Subject of Another Unfortunate
Error-WiIl Not Be Married.
Last week the Register stated that
Mr.. James Smith, c., l.. & w. agent at
Bridgeport, will soon be married. 1t
was discovered that it was the wrong
Mr.. Smith, and a correction was made
on the following day. In some man
ner, however, a similar item found it's
way into the Sunday issue, and
caused considerable annoyance to Mr..
Smith and his friends. The popular
c., L. & w. agent is not about to be
married, as his friends well know, and
the use of his name was an unfortun-
ate error
