Attorney Geo B. Caldwell, of Wheel
ing yesterday made application be-
core Judge PAUL, at Moundsville, for
,be release on bail OF Jonn Hahn, Of
Benwood, who is charged with killing
oscar Hamlin by crushing his skull
with a stone. The Judge decided to
release Hahn on $1,000 bail, but last
evening Attorney Caldwell said that
surety had not yet been given and he
could not say whether it would be
secured The general belief is that
Hahn will have no trouble in getting
hall. as the company for which he
worked is Jealous in his behalf
Attorney Caldwell was asked by the
Register man as TO the probable line
If defense that would be made in
r9hns behalf when the case came up
far trial. He said that in his position
he could not be expected to disclose
this but indicated that it would be
rhe purpose of the defense to show
that the killing of the Hamlin boy was
an accident, or by "misadventure," as
he expressed it.
The fact was pointed out to him
that in the evidence at the coroner's
inquest no direct evidence had
been produced to show that Hahn had
thrown the stone to strike Hamlin,
and that the only statement made that
Hahn had hit Hamlin was made by
The Hamlin boy 10 various parties be-
fore his death. Attorney Caldwell
stated that he had been under the i'm
preston that Hahn had admitted that
he had thrown the stone, but he ex-
amined a copy of the evidence he had
with him and discovered this not to be
a fact. In this case, he said the burden
Of proof would fall upon the prosecu-
ton to first show that Hahn had real
" thrown the stone that killed Ham
lin.
He did not think that the statements
of Young Hamlin, made just previous to
his death, would be regarded seriously
b. a jury. 1t appears from the state
ment of the defendants counsel that
the line of defense has not been de-
termined upon, and it is the opinion
Of many Benwood people that Hahns
hest course would be to make frank
admission that he threw the stone and
state the circumstances fully.

The Old Time stagecoacll.

Tn I762 there were, strange as st seems, only six stagecoaches running in all England. and of course these were the only public vehicles for travellers. Even these were a novelty, and per- son named John Crosset thought they were such dangerous innovation that he wrote a pamphlet against them. "These coaches, he wrote, make gen. tlemen come to London upon every small occasion, which otherwise they would not do except upon urgent neees- sity Nay, the conyeniency of the pass age makes their wives come often up, who rather than come such long jour. news on horseback would stay at home.

Our New Naval Purchases.

The two vessels which the Brazilian government has kindly sold to the Unit ed States are of the type known as pro- teoted cruisers. They arc made of steel, this being covered first with wood and then with copper. The wood and cop per covering is called sheathing and is an effective protection against rust and barnaeles. The cruisers are called pro- tected because they are covered on deck with a steel armor plate from l. 2 to 8. 5 inches thick. This armor plate also ex- tends down below the water line over the machinery and boilers.
 In general the new cruisers are of the type of our own Cincinnati and Raleigh, but they are superior in respect to fuel carrying capacity. They will hold each $50 tons of coal, which would enable them to cross tho Atlantic and back without stopping anywhere for fuel Besides that they are armed fore and aft with six inch guns, three at each end, which can be fired simultaneously in both directions. They are likewise fast CT than our cruisers. The price paid for them the naval department will not tell. but it Is about Sl. 500. .o00 for each.

Top Heavy Educational system.

"What is the use of piling on higher education without giving many the op- portunity to get it?' asks Elliott Flow CT ill The North American Review. There are sense and reason in the in quiry. MT. Flower proceeds to point out how overcrowded our common schools in the towns and cities are, so much so that the country over more than 100, 900 pupils run the streets be- cause there is no schoo1house room for them. We have not one trade and tech nical school where at least ten are need- ed. All this time rich people are mak- ing donations and bequests to colleges and universities and piling up benefao- tions to them.
 Mir. Flower wisely suggests that now the benevolent rich turn their attention awhile to the crying needs of the chil- dren of the common people, those on whom the real welfare of this republic will in future depend, and give them an ordinary education and technical training also. He says:
 In spite of the fact that it is of much more importance that the child should have a rudi- mentary education than it is that the youth should go to college, we exert ourselves much more for the latter than for the former. Philanthropists whe are looking about for ways to spend money so the best educational advantage can refrain from establishing uni versailles, colleges and scholarships until those who have to fight for even the lowest common school education have been cared for Accord ing to the best figures at hand we are spend ing Ss year to stuee1t in tho grammar schools and Sl09 year to student in the higher educational institutions, and it is all out of proportion. It is evident that the child nas difficulty in getting its s worth of educa- ton, while the older student is principally troubled by the fact that he has so great a se- lection that he is bewildered and in view of this fact 1t may not be out of place to suggest to educators and philanthropists that they keep their eyes on the ground for awhile. They have been watching the heavens too long.

Corn and Hogs.

Philosophers sometimes make queer deductions. Here now is MT. c. Wood Davis, learned gentleman and expert in food stuffs and population, arguing in The Forum that the increased use of cottonseed oil as an article of human food and of cottonseed meal as an anl- nal food has brought down the price of corn one-fourth and diminished the number of hogs in the country one-third.
 If Mir. Davis had kept up with the history of domestic animals Ill the Union, he would have found first that in the panic year and in the years im- mediately following the price of pork, like all other farm products, fell so low that agriculturists became discouraged and ceased to raise hogs. That de- creased their number heavily, just as the number of sheep, horses and beef cattle fell off from tho same cause. That added to the immenae corn crops for three years of course brought down the price of this cereal.
 Then when the times became shade better and hogs were in active demand another cause broke loose which re- duced their number even lower That was hog cholera. h 1896 some of the western states lost millions of dollars from this cause. It is and has been the shortness of the crop of live stock of nearly all kinds, especially beeyes, sheep and hogs. that made the price of corn low. It is not likely either that corn will be fed to hogs again as it used to be. The market demand, especially the export demand, in pork is for pig that has much more lean meat than corn will produce. This lean must be made by other foods than corn. The thing to do with our greatest cereal crop is to develop market for corn bread grits and hominy in Europe and Asia.

sage TO congress- message which it is
well understood will recommend a dec
laration Of war against Spain and the
dispatch Of an army to Cuba-presages
a peaceful solution Of the whole en,angle-

dent has probably had some form Of as
surance from Spain that she does not in
tend to go to war with this country. and
that she is prepared to yield any demand
our government shall see III to make Of
her. II this supposition turns out to be
true, then Mckinley has proved himself
one OF the strongest and most masterful
men who have yet appeared in the his
tory OF the republic. It is due solely 70
his coolness, courage and statesmanshlp
that We have been saved from the dread
ful effects which would have inevitably
followed hasty declaration Of war, re-
gardless Of whether 1t might have been
Of long or short duration. and independent
Of what would have been its ultimate
outcome. Perhaps no pen will ever ade-
quately portray the strain through which
the president has zen called to pass. but
II he is successful in his policy Of peace
without dishonor future historians will
put him on the roll among the truly great
presidents who have rendered signal SER
vice TO the country in time Of peril, close

The intervention by this country in
Spanish Affairs to the extent OF
insisting upon the cessation OF war in
Cuba. while an unusual step for one civil
llEed nation to take with another, is not
without precedent The powers Of Europe
cannot find fault with us for intervening.
instead Of simply recognizing Cuban bel
lieerency or Cuban independence. for they
have set us the example, and that very
recently. in one Instance. Reference is
made to the active intervention OF the
great powers Of Europe in the war be-
tween Greece and Turkey. That was an
Intervention too. which really injured
the cause Of civilization. Tor it Inundated
Greece and gave the triumph to Turkey
and her ignoble cause Il dictated the
terms Of peace, and restrained Turkey
to some extent from taking fun advantage
OF her victory. II Intervention then was
justihable, it is certainly more SO in the
case Of Cuba, where We have great in
terests at stake. and where it will aid the
cause of Justice and freedorn This u-as
the second time that Europe intervened
between Greece and Turkey In 1897.
Great Britain, France and Russia inter-
vened TO keep the Turks from crushing
Greece. and thus secured its freedom.
That case is almost an exact parallel to
our intervention in Cuba.
