SHERIFF MARTIN ACQUITTED
Another Trial and Change of Venue An
nOumced by the Persecution.

nOunced by the Prosecution.
Wilkesbarre. Pa.-The jury in the trial
of Sheriff James Martin and tifty-nine of
the deputies who shot down the striking
miners, returned verdict of acquittal
Immediately after the verdict District
Attorney Martin announced that he would
vigorously prosecute the defendants under
one of the remaining eighteen indictments
for murder standing against each one
Deputies Turner. Bolnhelser, Tuinbaugh
and Hess have been more completely iden-
titled as having participated in the Lattimer
shooting, according to the prosecution,
than the others. and the indictments against
them will be especially pressed.
Papers in the civil suits against the Sher-
if and his deputies for damages have been
prepared. While the acquittal was gener-
ally expected, the outcome of the trial is a
disappointment to many relatives and
friends of the victims. They had not at
any time expected a first degree verdict,
but they had hoped that the deputies and
sheriff might be imprisoned for a few
months
There is no indication and little proba-
bility of any outbreak, certainly no general
one, as a consequence Of the acquittal

the NNIIId congress district 1000 was
spent to carry the caucus of one town.
A visitor to the Adrondacks this winter
found his way to the polls in Franklin
county with the aid of the empty whiskey
bottles strewn beside the road by the
ignorant lumbermen, who were supplied
with liquor by the political boss as the
price of their journey to the voting pls Ce,
and, once there, declined to vote except
for further money consideration. 1t is
said that money was openly used in
Wayne county few weeks ago, and the
election in Lyons has been thus de-
scribed:
Vote buying is conducted openly and
aboveboard, the "best class" of citizens
being engaged in it. Last Tuesday the
Republicans had a lot of pasteboard
tickets bearing the familiar face of the
late Patrick 5. Gilmore. These tickets
represented 81 each, and each "heeler"
was well supplied on the Republican
side with these tickets. The Democrats
had similar tickets, bearing a cut of the
works of the Egin watch. The Re
publicans at the close of the day "cashed
up" at business place on Broad street,
while the Democratic cashier was To-
Gated little further down the street.
The "noaters' walked up to a hole in the
wall, passed in their pastebOards. received
their money and walked out. The poll
ticians here have lists of "floaters, - and
the price of each is known. Farmers
worth So 600 appear on these lists, it
being known that they refuse to vote
even their own ticket unless paid from
So to So, as circumstances may warrant.

men in Lyons who will not vote unless
they are paid "for their time These
"hOaters" are sometime purchased in
"blocks" and sometimes by the single
head.
That description fits dozens of towns
in the four quarters of the state, as in
telligent men know perfectly well. 1t is
notorious that Orleans, Livingston, Nj
agara and Wyoming are subject to the
same domination by the same methods as
Genesee.
Every one of these incidents spells
corruption, and spells it Enthusiastically.
They cannot spell anything else. Such
sums of money as are by common know
ledge sent into little villages before con.
J venton time cannot by any possibility
be honestly spent The frequent piling
up at caucuses of votes larger than the
total party vote at presidential election
can have no explanation but fraud. I'm
fortunately, this corruption has become
so common that many who despise
themselves for it have had a hand in the
crimes, lured thereto by the notion that
they must fight fire with fire, and that
the only way to beat rascals is to meet
them with their own weapons. That
fact accounts in measure for the silence
which has permitted this evil to grow to
alarming proportions. But the time is
coming when, if representative govern

Hannah Lofty and Mamie Burnett re-
cited very nicely. OF the singing, the
selection 'Hark" was the best render
ed. SupE Gustaison sang the solo,
'Send the Glad Tidings," but with the
church bell as an accompaniment the
effect was not appreciable. The pro-
gram was much too long. One or two
pieces we'll sung, one or two pieces we'll
recited would be far preferable to a
long, drawn out service, half OF which
cannot be understood. A collection for
missions was taken up.

More Houses Needed.

Recently a gentleman connected with
a manufacturing enterprise at this place
said: "Ono point against Sequachee is
the want Of suitable dwellings for me-
chanics. We cannot got workmen to
come here when they cannot get houses
to live in" And such is the fact. 1t
seems to us that an effort should be
made by the owners OF different proper
ty in this town who have rentable prop
erty, but which has been unfit for occu-
pancy, to get it fixed up now. To our
certain knowledge there have been APP
plicants for these houses monthly for
the last six months, and they never will
be rented until repaired, II tho owners
wish to reap any thing from tho invest
ment an outlay OF few dollars now will
make them habitable and rentable.

AN OBJECT LESSON.

those who deal In II that the writer OF
this short sketch. Last Sunday short
ly after noon ! was leisurely walking
down street in Jasper from tue home
of Rev, Conner whom suddenly my ears
caught the sound OF a woman's voice.
A gang Of drunken rOughs had just bro
ken into house and put the old woman
to flight. They had entered the house,
broken the looking-glass and the lamp.
Shortly after the old woman had given
this alarm, the drunken young men, the
woman and her girl and her sons, and a
number that wore drinking were all en-
gagged in a drunken row on the open
highway and on tho Sabbath day, where
decent men, women and children we're
forced to hear their everlasting iniamy,
blackguardism and profanity. There
was, not an officer to be- seen, but as
soon as one could be summoned to the
scene, then the worst began.
The drunken young men refused to
be arrested or taken to Jail, and began
to curse and scream Till they could be
heard distinctly quarter of mile.
soon saw that abe officers had more than
they could conveniently handle, so
lent them a helping hand in defense Of
the law, the people, and above all to put
q stop to such lawlessness as this OF
the Sabbath day. am only little
local preacher and have not been living
in this part Of the country very long
and | don't expect anything else bu
sneers and jeers from the mouths o
men who are vile and drunken, having
no respect for themselves, their families
their countrymen and their God.
Young men, take warning, you arr
not only on the road to Jail, the poo
house, and the ponitentiary but you arr
ON the road " hell as last as the wheel
OF time can move you. No man ever in
tends to be- a druDkard, no man can tel

The only step that is noticeable is tn
frst, and the best place to leave off i
is at the beginning. II you persist ii
drinking, sorrow will come. 1t is only
matter Of time when you will be boun'
in chains you cannot break. All drunk
ards arc of two classes, those who cOul'

TERRITORIAL EXPANSION.

From the very commencement of
the question of territorial expansion
by the annexation of the Philippines,
we have been opposed to it, unalter-
ably and finally. Our country is not
so we'll developed that we should
turn our energies to the develop
ment Of another, for development it
must be. Our citizens are not SO
we'll off that their interests should be
abandoned for the interests Of horde
of unclean natives. The wages of
our laborers are not SO very high
that they can still further be reduc-
ed by competition with the cheap la
Dor OF the far east. For years there
has been constant struggle on the
part of our citizens to keep out the
very same cheap labor which it is
now proposed to annex. Shall we
permit the Philippines Islands to be-
come the workshop Of the nation on
ly because a few wild-eyed expan-
siOnists are Olking to tina: end, sell
tirhly considering the shekles that
would shower into their pockets in a
golden stream in consequence? No!
Let US rather consult our own and
our country good. Let us put the
finishing touches to our own country,
ard not leave undeveloped our
mighty but latent resources. Let Ut
perfect our own country rather than
enter on the development of quar-
ter OF the globe which has no charms
for any of our citizens except the
capitalists ana money lenders.
There is too great difference be-
tween the North and South, East anC
West, the four great divisions of THU
country. The dissimilarity In pro
gress and development is too great
Before an attempt is made to pu
more territory on the market, Ou
own land should be developed to it
full extent. Then, ard then only
should we consider about acquiring
more territory.
Meanwhile let as dispose of tn,
Philippines as best we may. Thes,
islands have been bought with tn
blood OF our citizens and are ours t,
do with as we please The interest
of our citizens demand that we Shout,
not 90 into competition with Chimes
or Eastern labor, which produces tn
cheapest wheat, cotton and iron i
the world. Let us attend to our ow
business and let the rest of the wOrl
take care of itself.
