Dear Statesman, Smith and Wa
namaket" both speak the truth. The
only difference is that the former is
more patient than the latter. The
Herald did promise that as soon as
Mckinley was elected confidence
would be restored and the Herald was
right. Some people imagine that
convalescence means absolute restor-
alton, but unfortunately it does not.

The Sugar Trust and the Standard
Oil Company are said to be engaged
battle royal and strange as it
nay appear the cause of the conten-
ion comes from Germany. In case a
heavy tariff is placed on sugar, the
Germans will retaliate with a stiff
luty on petroleum. Just what the
result of the contest will be no one
an predict, but when rogues disagree
iust men get their reward and no
matter which wins no tears will be
shed by the people.

Yes, this is June I, A. d. 1897,
and prosperity is coming as fast as
the fellows who voted against it will
permit. They are obstructing all the
measures of the Republicans that are
calculated to restore good times.
They are too strongly addicted to free
trade and free soup houses to be read
lily weaned from their idols; but in
spite of their efforts to prevent it, and
their frantic yells, prosperity will
come, and then they will bask in its
sunshine and that too without any
thankfulness for its return.-Tyler

Reports from the far West is that
the price of sheep has nearly doubled
and that wool is up 90 per cent.
This affords us great qualification
because of the fact that these good
gifts are thrust upon them in spite of

A tariff on raw cotton is a novelty,

The recent appointment, by Cover
nor Atkinson, of ]. ID. Butt, of Har-
rers Ferry, as delegate to the pro-
osed Gold Miners Convention, at
lenver, Colo, has called forth pro-
st from the Republican executive
ommittee, of Jefferson county. The
fountain Echo, at Keyser, is also of
pinion that the Governor made a
ad mistake. We are informed that
he Governor of Colorado wrote Gov
rnor Atkinson asking him to APP
oint such gentlemen as he supposed
vould attend, and that the appoint
uents were made without thought of
he politics of the parties. Some
years since, Mr.. Butt was interested
N Colorado mines, and this fact in
duced the Governor to make the APP
continent. AS we understand the
position of Jefferson county Republi-
ans, they object TO Mr.. Butt being
classed as a Republican until he
rings forth fruits meet for repen-
ance and the Herald agrees with
hem, so, also, does Governor Akin
son.

CANADIAN CRIMES
An Unfaithful Wife Urges Her
Paramour to Murder

MONTREAL. Nov. 26.-The body Of
Isadore Poirier, farmer. was found last
Monday at his house at st. Canut.
Pcirier had been undoubtedly murdered,
the body showing many stab wounds
and his throat had been cut. Mrs.
Poirier. when questioned as to the kill
ing of her husband, said he had killed
himself. The woman at first made q
good showing of grief, but later treated
the matter very lightly. Detectives
were sent for and yesterday Mrs. Poirier
and a man named Samuel Barstow, who
had been paying attentions to her, were
arrested, charged with the crime.
Barstow today made full confession
to Detective McGaskell. In his confess
sion he says that on Sunday evening,
urged on by Mrs. Poirier, he stabbed
Poirier with a butcher knife. Poirier
was in bed asleep at the time.
Mrs. Poirier absolutely denies any
completely in the affair. She claims that
she does not know anything about the
murder and that she was at her fathers
house at the time that Barstow says he
stabbed her husband.
