JUST A LITTLE GUILTY
PAYMENT OF COSTS TO EXPIATE
THEIR oFFENsEs
Men Who Attempted to Bride Pro-
moter Hooley Escape With Very
Light Punishment

LONDON. Aug. 17.--Justice Wright today
acquitted Ear, de la War; and Mr.. Broad
ley of the charge % contempt of court. in
an alleged attempt to induce Ernest T.
Hooley, the bankrupt company promoter.
to falsify his evidence in the Bankruptcy
Court. The Judge said, however, that
both were blameable and he mulcted them
in costs.
Justice Wright said that, while he must
absolve Earl de la War; of the charge
of bribery, he must hold that the Earl
had wrongly tried to induce Mr.. Hooley
to correct some statements made by him
In the bankruptcy proceedings. and had
wrongfully promised to help Mrs. Hooiey.
MIR. Hooley. the Judge said. ought not
to be regarded as mere liar. scattering
statements and accusations without foun-
dation, as had been suggested by the re-
spondents, but as on the witness stand he
was rash, reckless and inaccurate. appear
ing sometimes to be suffering from illusions
In a hopeless attempt to disentangle the
true from the false, his evidence was In
sufficient to act upon, especially In case
of such Importance.
Mr.. Bradshaw's evidence as to Earl de
la Warts proposal to help Mrs. Hooley.
was remarkable. although Mr.. Bradshaw
had no cause to testify falsely. 1t must ba
remembered, the Judge continued, that the
Earl had no overwhelming motive FOR OBJ
tanning Mr.. Hooley's retraction. He could
not believe that 1t was out Of mere charity
that the Earl had promised Mrs. Hooley
100D pounds. On the contrary he was forced
to the conclusion that the promise was con-
nected with the Earl's strong and natural
desire to clear himself of Mr.. Hooley's ac-
cusatlons. Nevertheless, he acquitted de
Ia War; of the imputation of Inducing Mr..
Hooley to testify falsely.
with regard to alleged bribery he could
not wholly ahsolve the other. With re-
gard to the money the Earl received pos.
sibly the latter believed 1t was received
for services rendered. or as a gift from
Hooley. The Judge said he supposed that
was generally the way names were PAID
for, but as these proceedings were only in
tended to vindicate justice, II would be .
sufficient punishment for the Earls in
discretion II the court ordered him to pay
costs.
With reference to Mr.. Broadley's case.
Justice Wright considered him, he said.
much more guilty in asking Mr.. Hooley
falsely to say that he had made a retrac.
ton without communicating with the Earl.
Broadley was guilty OF subordination Of
perjury, and while he uhe Judge) was in
doubt whether he ought not to deal very
differently with Mr. Broadley, he had con-
cluded to make the same order in Broad
ley's case as in the Earls.

TESTIMONY OF A DEMOCRAT.
Unprejudiced Evidence as to tho
Treatment of Uncle sans
Soldiers.

The testimony given before the war
investigating committee at Washing
ton by Gen. Fighting Joe" Wheeler is
complete refutation of the charges
made by the yellow journals and dem
ocratic papers that have been manu-
featuring charges for the sake of ere
ating sensations and political ammu-
milton. Coming from a rock-ribbed
dcmocrat-nnd one of the southern
kind that seem to have their democ-
racy bred in the bone at thnt--coming
from the man who was famous leader
OF the confederate cavalry in the civil
war and who CALAMITY led the cavalry
division OF the United States troops at
Santiago, and coming from man who
was born and raised a fighter and n sol
der, IL can scarcely be snid by the dem
ocratic press that his testimony Is
"whitewasb." His evidence may be
summarized as follows:

There Is the testimony OF n man who

during the civil war and knows what a
soldier is, and what a soldier requires
for his proper care. In the face Of this
the sensational charges of the yellow
press fall like houses built on the

A RennhIIcan Dufr.

National issues, of course, are in
volyed in all the elections this year
of state officers as well as OF congress
men. A triumph for the democracy
anywhere will give courage to the base
money element and tend to incite in
1900 n renewal OF the assault ON the
100-cent dollar of the people made in
1896. There is no room for doubt on
this point. Every honest money man
in the country, therefore, should vote
the republican ticket this year as he
did two years age. A triumph for the
democracy, in state elections as well
as for congress, would be interpreted
abroad as want OF confidence in the
administration peace policy. This
would give aid and comfort 20 every
body in continental Europe who hates
the United States or is jealous OF IT,,
and embolden the Spanish peace COM
missioners TO stand out for the pay
ment of the Cuban debt by the United
States, and for the exclusion of the
United States from the Philippines

straight republican ticket this year

The platform of the New York dem
ocrats boldly repeats the undisputed
fact that the war with Spain was "un-
dertaken not for conquest or aggran-
dizement. but in the interests OF hui
manity. liberty and civilization"
There the boldness stops short. What
shall be done with the territory which
The war has brought under American
control? Are the democrats In favor
OF expansion or are they opposed TO itr
They do not dare 10 say. They are
silent as TO America duties and re-
sibilities In the Caribbean and the
Pacific. They are afraid TO speak n
word in behalf OF the protection and
advancement OF liberty. humanity and
civilization In the Antilles and the
Philippines. They can be glib enough
about the administration, but they
cannot open their lips as TO the dispo-
sition OF the fruits OF the war so rap
Idly and brilliantly finished under that
administration. Upon this important
question the New York republicans
clearly define their opinions. The dem
ocrats confess that they have none

HARVEY AS MANAGER.
The Great Exponent Of Cheap Monsy
Gets n Chance to Work
% His GAIT.

"Coin" Harvey's appointment an
manager OF the silver democratic
party" does not meet with that chorus
of joy from the party generally that
might have been expected. The local
leaders particularly do not approve,
and IL dazes them as much as the cor
phan dodger" did. That "dodgerv con-
tanned nothing but what they professed
TO believe and to which they had over
and over set their hands, but they new
ertheless repudiated 1t because II was
unofficial.
Now they have an official act by the
very highest moguls of the party that
compels them TO swallow the ''dodger."
and they growl again. Curses not LOUD
but deep penetrate their discourse. for.
as one of the candidates said: Here
we have been straining every nerve 10
get the gold democrats into line and
have succeeded, and along comes this
blunder and promises TO upset every
thing.
There is only one thing more needed
10 put us in prime condition for de-
feat" said another, in a vein OF satire.
I'VE ought to have Gen. Coxey appoint
ed assistant general manager" Har-
vey and Coxey would make very 1T
tractive and stylish team, and the way
they would pull subscriptions out of
the pockets OF the gold democrats
would be a great instruction to all po-
litical beggarsl"
Still more important considerations,
however, seem 20 puzzle the heads Of
some Of the local silver democrats.
They themselves are mo slouches"-to
use their own elegant style Of speech
at political finance, but there are two
things about this move they would
like TO understand. How does IL come
that Harvey was all cooked and primed
10 spring his plan OF financiering the
party at the very moment he was noti-
fled OF his appointments; and second,
and most important. what is going 10
be his 'rake off?" lie is laying plans TO
raise $2,O00,OO0 in the next two years,
and IL ten per cent. of it-a very mod
crate compensation, indeed-goes into
his own pocket, there are enyious demo-
Gratis who think he has a pretty soft
thing, and he will have II he raises the
SO, oo0, 900.
There are those, too, who think, and
with some reason, that the dollar sub
scription business Is only cheap blind,
and the money will come, II IL comes at
all, from the men who produce silver
and are financially interested in its free
and unlimited coinage. Now that we
have bankruptcy law, IL seems clear
enough that nobody wants even cheap
silver with which to pay his debts, so
that none but silver mine owners are
really concerned about free coinage.
As for the rank and file OF the demo-
cratic party, why should they give n
dollar a month 10 n cause which il sue
cessful would cut all their remaining
dollars in two?
In the end II will be the silver mine
owners who will have TO come down
with the dust, and from this point OF
view those local democrats are right in
thinking Mr.. Harvey has a particular
~ good thing.-Chicago Times-Herald.

Good at GronIInR.

The democrats are growing now be-
cause the republican administration
raised too much money for war pur-
poses. Perhaps these gentlemen would
do well 10 go slow in their fault-fnd-
ing. AS far as the cost Is concerned,
the war is not over, and we think that
before the days OF spring come there
will be use for every dollar borrowed
and for every dollar collected as war
taxes. In short. 5000, O0O. 900 were bor-
rowed, and there will be raised by spe-
cial war taxes n sum approximat ting
s120,0000O0 during the fiscal year.
When all bills are settled, our new pos
