INSTEAD of serving Editor Fraw-
ley with nice brown roast
this week for the way he
attempted to rip-us-up-the-b back,
and then unfeelingly undertook to
rub-it-in, we consider it proper on
this, Thanksgiving day, to express
hope that ourdyspeptic neiphbor
down the pike is enjoying his roast
turkey with cranberry sauce, and
that it is roasted to turn. This
is season when good will to all
men should be the sentiment OF
all, and Jerry among others has
ours.

THE POLITICAL SITUATION.

The net results of the recent
political campaign cause much
citation in the republican camp.
When the smoke of the battle
shall have cleared away and the
majorities in each state are COM
pared with those in 1896, and when
a conservative allowance is made
for the temporary advantage en-
joyed by the republicans because
of the war with Spain. there will
be less cause for citation among
the republicans than they now
think they see. Every man of
sense in both parties knows very
we'll that the question of silver
coinage has neither made nor lost
votes for either party this year.
The republican managers thrust
the gold standard into some of the
state platforms, but in the cam
paign they have sung very small
on the subject. On the other hand,
while the majority of the demo-
cratic conventions have Endorsed
the Chicago platform, and nearly
all the others have Endorsed all the
doctrines of that party. among
which none can deny that free
coinage is one of the most promi-
nent and pronounced, speakers and
writer's have, in the very nature of
the case, found it impossible to
engage the attention of the people
to anything but the war with
Spain. In New York and Penn
sylvania the democrats made their
campaign against alleged corrup-
tions in the state administrations,
while the republicans bravely
lodged these issues and dwelt
upon the victories of our armies
as though they were republican
trophies. The democratic party
and its leaders have given patriotic
support to the government in the
war, and have generally abstained
from the burning criticisms of the
administration to which it had
subjected itself by its sympathies
with Spain before the war began,
its total absence Of any manifes-
tation Of resentment at the des-
truction of the battleship Maine,
and its glaring maladministration
in the war department, as shown
in its treatment Of our soldiers.
There is nothing in the vote of
any state to indicate that any Of
the six and q half millions of vot-
ers who supported Bryan in 1896,
in the face Of terrorism and cor
ruption. have changed their minds
on the subject; but there is abund-
ant indication that the democratic
party Of New York, New jersey
Pennsylvania, and Illinois have
stamped out the overwhelming
majorities of 1896, and that long
before 1900, when domestic ques-
tions shall again occupy the public
mind, instead of excitement atten-
dant upon foreign war, "the
battle of the standards will again
be fought with more than equal
chances that the constitutional
money Of silver will again be re-
stored to its place side by side
with the constitutional money of
gold.
While the ,froth is going down
on the cup Of republican exaltation.
let the democrats and all other
opponents of government by Wall
street remember that no vote will
be cast for the presidency until
two years from now; and that the
troubles Of the republican party
have only just begun.

Get on with Troops for the PHIL

San Francisco, Aug. s.-The big
transports Scandia and Arizona may
sail for the Philippines by the end of
the week, but not before. There is
growing belief that they may not
carry SO many men as was at first in
tended, and that the beginning of
peace negotiations will mean the mus
tering out of most of the troops re-
naming at Camp Merritt and. the Pre-
sidio. Gen. Merritt has now with him
or on the way to Manila $4,000 men.
Nearly 5,000tons of commissary stores
will go ON the Scandia and Arizona.
The only movements of troops dur
ing the early part of the week will be
the beginning of their march to the
Yosemite Of the Utah cavalry, and per-
haps the sailing of $50 members of the
First New York regiment on the Mari
posa. No arrangements have been
perfected yet for the rest of the reg
ulars, and they are likely to remain
here for several weeks, unlesssomev yes
sci not now in sight takes them. Mai.

Mr.. ThomasI. Kidd, the recognized lead
er of the strikers, was arrested a sec
ond time Saturday night and kept in
custody over Sunday, thereby prevent
ing him from attending the usual Sun
day labor meeting and advising the
strikers as to the next step to be taken
by them. The arrest was made on a
civil action for damages brought by
the Paine Lumber company in connec-
tion with the strike and subsequent
riots. The strikers were led to suppose
Mr.. Kidd had left the city of his own
accord, and did not know he was under
arrest. Toprevent any possible trouble
he was taken to- neighboring city over
Sunday.
Strong guards of special police were
stationed at the various mills Monday
morning, but there was no disturbance,
the strikers merely sending out pick
cts to note the number of men who
Went to work. 1t is confidently pre-
Gicted, however, that the trouble is not
over, and there are rumors that the
next point chosen for a demonstra-
ton by the strikers is the Paine Lum-
Der company's factory. This is the
thirteenth week of the strike, and with
few exceptions their ranks are still
unbroken.

to Quit Because All Europe
Was Against Her.

New York, Aug. 8.-According to ad-
vices received from Havana by the
Cuban junta Capt. Gen. Blanco appre-
ciates the fact that he must soon with
draw himself and his forces from the
island of Cuba. He assumed q mild
ness of demeanor which compares
strangely with his previous bombastic
attitude and frequently expressed de-
termination to hold out in Havana to
the death, and he is treating the in
surgents with great considera tion. In
recent proclamation he made known
to the Spanish people of Cuba that
Spain, through the Intervention of for
eign powers, had been forced to the dis
graceful issue of suing for peace and
that there would be no more war and
no further use for soldiers. He of
fered pardon to all Cuban political
prisoners, and more than $50 were re-
leased in Havana.
In explaining Spain's defeat in
his proclamation Capt. Gen. Blanco
informs his readers that Spain. having
suffered so much in the present war,
could not resist the interference of
the foreign powers and go to war with
all countries at once, SO she was COM
PEELED to accede to their dicta ton and
sue for peace. Havana, he says, will be
given over to Americans and Cubans,
and 'the Spaniards will be forced to
evacuate.
Capt. Gen. Blanco assures the SOL
diers and all Spanish residents who
wish to return to Spain or go to other
Spanish possessions that they will get
free transportation, given by their
mother country to their destination,
and will be protected from interfer-
ence from either Cubans or Americans.
He suggests that the Cubans be for
given and no longer regarded as enc
mics and that no unkind feelings be
cherished.

KILLING OF woAAN's HUSBAND CAUSE.
We're Hired by Mrs. Orr to Com
init the Murder-Judge Promises a
q Speedy Trial, and the Crowd
Then Consents to Dispense.

Memphis, Tenn, Aug. s. = The peo-
pie. of Clarendon. Monroe county, are
feaffully wrought up over an assas-
sination that took place there on July
80 and the developments which took
place on Saturday and Sunday. On
the night of July 30, j. I. Orr, j prom
inent hardware merchant of Claren-
don, was smurderedin his house ,and now
his wife and two negroes ere in Jail,
the negroes being charged with the
murder direct, and Mrs. Orr is charged
with having procured their services to
make way with her husband. There
was demonstration there at night
and lyHching bee may yet be the
climax.
Orr was most foully murdered, hav-
ing been shot through the window of
his home. The search for the guilty
parties was unfruit tful until Saturday.
when the sheriff learned Of state
ment being made by o young woman
that Mrs. Orr knew sonnet thing of the
assassination. 1twas charged that she
hired a negro named Dennis Record to
kill Mr. Orr. A. negro named Manse
Castle, however, volunteered to DO the
work for the same amount, so it was
stated. Record, Castle and Mrs. Orr
were Immediately placed under ar
rest. Sunday Castle said that he killed
Orr and charged that Mrs. Orr had
hired him to do the work.
Sunday night great crowd gathered
in the public square, and it looked for
time as if there would be lynching.
Judge Thomas, who had just returned
from Des Arc. made speech and made
an urgent appeal to the crowd not to
mob the prisoners. He announced he
would at once adjourn court at Lonoke
and try +he prisoners. The crowd dis
persed, and Mrs. Orr, who had been
kept in the courthouse since her ar
rest, was conducted to the Jail.
Orr's life was insured for $4,000 in
the knights of Pythias and Macca-
bees. His wife is the beneficiary. While
Castle charges that Mrs. Orr hired
him to do the job, there are some con-
servative citizens who believe that Mrs.
Orr is guiltless and that trial will
clear her. There will be an examining
trial Tuesday.
