MARTIN THORN GUILTY.
Jury Returns a Verdict of Murder
in the First Degree-End of a
Sensational Trial.

Martin Thorn was convicted on
Tuesday last, Of murder in the first
degree in killing William Guldensuppe
at WoOdside, l.. l., June 25 last.
The penalty for this crime in New
York State is death in the electric
chair.
The jnrymen were out three hours.
On the first ballot eleven voted for a
verdict of murder in the first degree,
ana it was not until the seventh ballot
that an agreement was reached.
When Thorn had been led back to
Jail after his connection, he admitted
that the verdict was just, and that be
and not Mrs. Mack had killed Gulden-
suppe. This Acknowledgement took
place while new cell was being pre-
pared for him in the part of the Jail
allotted to convicted murders.
This is the second trial il this sensa-
tional case the first was postponed on
account of the illness of a Juror, after
Mrs. Mack, cOpartner in the crime,
had made statement OH the witness
stand duplicating Thorn alone in the
murder. The latter in the last trial had
also testified and made direct counter
cha ges, making the woman the prime
criminal. 1t is thought that strong
effort will be made for another trial.

Gen. Clark Returns to His Home
His Estimate of Senator Cor
man.

Gen. James c. Clark, so well and
favorably known to the people of Ma
ryland, returned to Mobile, after a two
months visit to his old home in this
county. Gen. Clark is greatly improv-
ed in health and will likely be able to
resume the duties of president of the
Mobile and Ohio Road, which mas been
brought to such success by his able
management of its affairs. Before leav-
ing, the General was entertained by a
number of his friends in,this city. In
speaking of the political situation in
Maryland, Gen. Clark expressed the
greatest surprise that there could be
found within the confines of Maryland
class of men, who would be guilty of
The unmanly and unjust attacks which
have been made upon Senator German.
In his long experience with public men
he never in his life knew man who
was more conscientious in the dis
charge of a public duty than Senator
German; he did not hesitate to declare
that after thorough knowledge of his
public career there was not one single
vote in the Senate of the United States
that was not in strict accord with true
Democratic doctrine; that there was
not one vote ever cast by him that was
not it the interest of his party, his
State and his country. Public men
had discussed with him the attitude of
the so-calIed independent element of
Maryland against the Senator and
many had declared that, never had a
public man been so villified and abused
as Mr.. German; his enemies would
live to see the day when they would
be ashamed of the position they occu-
pied in this malicious warfare on a
public servant. In the Senate there is
no man to day who can take his place,
declared Gen. Clark; he was the one
man both sides turned to in the hour
of heated debate, the one man who
was always conservative and who
could be depended on to bring bar
mony out of chaos and trouble. it
was amusing to look over the names
the Republicans were about to submit
to take his place; this was sad COM
mentary, and only went to prove how
empty and unfair was the warfare
waged upon Senator German. Some
of General Clark's friends think he
will retire from active railroad work
with the new year.

False Economy.

Iris reported through the newspa-
pers that President Mckinley has adj
vised the strictest economy in every
department of the Government and
that an inspection Of the employees in
all of them, especially the State De-
partment, will be made with view
of striking off unnecessary clerks 1t
is also said that the coming session of
Congress will not make any large ap-
preparations for public buildings. This
is done to keep expenditures within
shooting distance of the receipts of the
Government, but it would be unneces-
sary if the President and Congress
would take few days off and go care
fully over the pension books and strike
off from that monstrous list the names
of unnecessary pensioners who are
gradually sapping the marrow of our
financial substance. No tariff law ever
conceived could provide for that insati-
able appetite which grows keener as
the years roll by. Root out the unnec-
essary pensioners and you won't have
to close the spiggot in order that it
may run out of the bung hole, Mr..
President.

Republicans in Charge of Court
Affairs.

The old saying that "a new broom
sweeps clean" can be aptly applied to
the condition of affairs at the Court
House, which until Wednesday, was
under the management of Democratic
officials. On that day the newly elect
ed candidates of the 0epublican party
took the prescribed oath of office and
entered upon the discharge of their sew
eral duties. All the positions in the
county with few exceptions, are under
their direct control, and they can be
depended upon to use the appointing
power to the best advantage Ever
since the election, the officials-elect
have been besieged by squads and pla-
toons of patriots willing, and even
anxious to serve their party-for con-
sideration. Anti-election promises, no
doubt made off hand, with no idea of
remembrance by either person, have
been resurrected from the dim shades
of the past and made to do active work
in behalf of the promise. The friends
of this man and that man have hob
nobbed and importuned until the lives
of the chiefs of offices have, no doubt,
been a burden. But now, the misery
is all over and the selections from a
very large available list have been
made and the new regime starts out
with no hindering influences to mar
the efficiency of their management,
nor to tend to lower the high standard
of service, for so long time, the proud
record of the Court House The new
powers will do well if they but follow
in the paths their predecessors have
safely trod. They will find little room
for improvement in any of the depart
ments and their supreme endeavor
should be to give, at the ending of their
term of service, a strict and satisfactory
account of their stewardship. The re-
firing officials have done their duty
well and carefully, and it is with more
than deep regret that we see them re-
placed with members of the opposite
party. But to the victors belong the
spoils; at least it would appear that
the Republicans hold true to this old
political maxim, for clean sweep has
surely been made by them and only
Republicans are at the helm of the
county ship. Only few of the old Of
ficials have been retained to instruct
the new clerks in the work. Then
they too will be replaced with Repub-
licans. This is the fate of political
warfare and the victors have every
right to enjoy the fruits of success.

The Entire Revenue not Sufficient
to Pay Pensions.

lT is difficult matter so induce the
American people to stop long enough
from the great rush in which they live
to seriously consider grave public
questions. One of the most important
confronting Us to-day is the question
of pensions. When it is understood
that it will require the entire revenue
of the government to pay the pensions,
surely it is time for thoughtful people
t. begin to wonder what is to be the
end. Many honorable men who have
brilliant records for daring deeds in the
service of their country, no longer con-
slider it an honor to be upon the pension
rolls of their country. No fair-minded
man would object to the soldier who
risked his life in defense of his country
being cared for by those who were the
beneficiar:es of their noble deeds But to
be put upon the pension rolls with
camp followers, deserters and men
who never smelt gun powder, is no
longer coveted honor. Even to-day
after thirty odd years have passed,
since the last gun was fired at Appoma-
toX, we are told that there are thous-
ands of applicants waiting to be put
upon the pension lists 1t is well
known fact that there are thousands Of
men drawing pensions as disabled sol
diers, who are doing full days work
at their respective trades 1t is equally
well known that men are drawing pen
sions as disabled soldiers, who were
never within gun-shot of an engage
ment during the war, and simply en-
listed to secure county or club bounties.
1t is difficult to realize how any soldier
could apply, now that thirty years has
passed, for pension for disability caus-
ed by his being a soldier. Yet millions
upon millions are being paid out every
year until the amount is far in excess
of what is received by the government.
for all the tariff impositions imposed
upon the people. Think of it. all the
revenue received by the government is
not sufficient to paw the annual pen
sion lists No wonder we have deficit
in spite of excessive taxation. This
question will yet come before the peo-
pie for settlement.

A DEFICIT OF $40, 5sl, 100.
Government Receipts From Gus
toms Will Fall Considerably
Short Of The Estimates.

The forthcoming November state
ments of the government receipts and
expenditures will show that the re-
celpts during November so far have
reached $22, 950,s90, which indicates a
total of about SIS, 600, 900 for the month.
This is triflng improvement over
October, when the receipts were S24,-
39l, AIS. The deficit thus far during
November stands at SS,572 100, which
Is larger than was expected.
The deficit for the fiscal year stands
at SAG, 56l, 100, the receipts having been
Sl27, 7Ol, $50 and the expenditures Sl74,-
2S2, $50.
The receipts from customs so far this
fiscal year undoubtedly will fall con-
siderably short of the estimates made
by the managers of the new tariff bill
during its tendency in Congress. At
that time 1t was estimated that customs
would yield about Sls0,0O0, 900 during
the first year. The indications now
are said to be that the receipts from
this source will not aggregate more
than $l65, 100000.
