Sneaking Toward Annexation

If our imperialists undertake to annex
Cuba or to hold it and govern 1t we will
have to whip the Cubans after we get
through with the Spanish, and we will find,
as the Spaniards did, that governing Cuba
is troublesome and expensive job. AL
ready the imperialist press Is engaged In
preparing the public mind for annexation.
1t is busily employed in discrediting
the Cubans and in charging that they are
incapable of governing themselves. The
imperialist newspapers have the appear
ance of being all edited by the same man.

Those Boilers

The Populist convention at Sacramento
and the boilers convention put forth iden-
teal platforms. There was not Populist
principle repudiated by the regular conven-
ton. Why, then, did the boilers bolt?
Simply because they did not get all the
places on the ticket. This is all right. No
one disputes the right to bolt. But what
becomes of the cant about putting principle
above office-getting? How does such
tommyrot sound in the mouths of men who
got all their principles embodied in the
platform and then bolted because they
could not get all their candida .es pu. on the
ticket ?-Stockton Mail.

SAYS HILL BRIBED HER

Alice Dixon Claims She Perjured Herr

His Denial.

In room g. Superior Court, yesterday
Helen NJ. Givens. colored, was granted a
divorce from William e. Owens. The lat
ter is a barber. Judge Harvey heard the
evidence in the case two weeks ago, and
until yesterday had ii under advisement
The divorce was granted to the wife on her
cross-complaint. In her complaint she
charged that her husband had been guilty
OF infidelity, among other wrongful acts
against her peace and happiness. When
the case was tried one or the witnesses
produced by James L. v. Hill, a colored
lawyer employed by Mrs. Givens, was
Alice Dixon, a young coiored woman. This
woman testified that she had been guilty
OF improper conduct with Givens
After the evidence was all in the Dixon
woman intimated to some of the friends of
William Givens that she had perjured her.
self in testifying as to her relations with
the barber. Givens heard she had made
this statement, and it is claimed that he
went to see her in company with Detec-
tive Thornton. The woman frankly admit
ted that she had told an untruth and asked
to be permitted to correct her testimony
Yesterday morning Judge Harvey called
all the parties in the case into court and
the Dixon woman was put on the witness
stand. She told the court that she had
made false statement and created mild
sensation by charging that Attorney Hill
had employed her to go on the witness
stand and testify against Givens. She de-
clared that Hill informed her it would be
worth S. to her If she would testify the
way he wanted her to. Judge Harvey ques-
toned her closely, and she further de-
clared that Hill had already paid her 40
cents on account. Hill was then ques-
toned by the court. He denied that he
had offered the woman money to testify for
his client. He admitted, however, that he
had given her 40 cents. He said he did this
out of purely philanthropic motives. He
said the woman came to him with a story
of hardship. She said she had lost her
place and was without funds on which to
live. He gave her 40 cents, he said to help
her out. Judge Harvey said he would con-
slider what was best to be done in the case
of the Dixon woman. He believed, how
ever, that there enough evidence in
support of Mrs. Givenss case to warrant
him in granting her a divorce, and he
did so.
