IHE CARRIER CASE.

1t is well known rule that the
DEMOCRAT does not accept response
bility for any communication, signed
OF unsigned, that may be contributed
TO its columns. 1t has always been
the policy of the DEMOCRAT 10
accord its contributors the greatest
liberty of speech consistent with
fairness and honesty of purpose.
Thursday afternoon the DEMO
Graf published a communication
from one of AkrOn's professional
men asking why the CARRIER bribery
case was not being pushed TO a trial.
Even while this question was being
written by the DEMOCRATS corre-
spondent, the Grand Jury was quietly
taking testimony for the re-indict-
ment of CARRIER. and under circum-
stances that would obviate many of
the probable legal objections and
irregularities of the original indict-
ment.
Not from the beginning of the Gar
Der affair have the citizens of Akron
had cause TO question the good faith
of Prosecutor Wanamaker or Mayor
Young. who were chiefly concerned
in the prosecution.
1t was natural that all citizens
charged with conspiring should have
wanted the matter speedily sub
mitted TO the court, and the guilt or
innocence of the accused ascertained,
but in view of the Grand Jury's action
of yesterday it is to be regretted that
even the merest shadow of suspicion
should have been cast upon the
determination of the Mayor and
Prosecutor to act in Difference to the
wishes of the people.
The silent action of the grand jury
has done more than any words the
DEMOCRAT can utter to vindicate the
good intentions of Mayor Young and
Prosecutor Wanamaker The citi-
zens are jealous of their rights. and
sometimes in their impatience at
conditions which they do not, can
not, understand, strike and wound
even those who are their best friends.
Such contingencies. springing as they
do from misunderstanding are
unfortunate, but they must be par
doned. They are ills which time alone
serves to cure.

| Mrs. Anna F.. George was inter
viewed by DEMOCRAT reporter a
her room in the Buchtel hotel shortly
after her arrival in Akron Thursday
afternoon. She was i'll company with
<Mr. :. w. MacElhaney, of Pi.tsburg
her advance agent, and his wife.
After few preliminary remarks
she was asked:
How do you like lecturing?"
Il like it very well as far as I have
gone. OF course ] am new at the
business and am doing it not because
! want to. but from necessity. |
have two little boys to look after at
Alliance, and their future depends
on my success. They are attending
school and | want to give them a
good education.
Her first lecture was delivered at
Steubenville Wednesday night.
Reports from there stated that an
audience limited to % greeted her.
She was asked: What success dtd
you have at Steubenville?"
Fair. About 300 were present.
This conflicted with the report and
she explained it by saying that re-
porter wanted to copy her speech.
She refused TO grant the favor.
This made him angry and he sought
this method TO iniure Mrs. George.
DO you lecture from memory or
read from manuscript
Il depend on both was the re-
ply.
What subject do you lecture on?"
"A sketch of my life. People have
the wrong impression in reference to
the tone of my lecture. They think
it is spicy and trashy, but such is not
the case My talk is refined in every
respect"
Mrs.~George was in very pleasant
mood. She was courteous and oblig-
ing. She wore blue skirt and fancy
waist. She has pretty face. Her
hair is black, but streaked with gray.
She related many instances of curious
people asking about her. At Ra-
VIENNA Thursday noon, while she was
en- route from Steubenville to Akron,
an old lady dressed in black rushed
up to the ticket agents office in the
depot and inquired in an anxious
undertone: Have you seen Mrs.
George. Is she here yet? 1 under
stand she was to pass through here
today to go TO Akron" Mrs. George
sat in the corner, but did not say a
word. She had to hold a handker-
chief to her mouth TO keep from
laughing.
What do you know of the story
circulated, stating that you went to
Attorney Sterling's house on the
night of the murder and in hurried
manner said, i'll the presence of Miss
Katy Clark. I've done it at last, I've
killed SaXton.'
Il have heard of tlet story. 1t is
all yellow newspaper talk
The Lecture.
Mrs. George lectured ut the Grand
Opera house Thursday evening. An
audience of 2l7 paid admissions,
largely women, heard her address on
"a Sketch OF My Life" She spoke
from manuscript.
She reviewed her own life. from
the time of her marriage l6 years
ago. She is now 81 years of age.
She mentioned the events Ieadinp
to her downfall and disgrace occa-
stoned by George SaXton, how he
won her affections, caused her TO pro-
cure divorce from her husband and
after that had been accomplished he
grew cold and ignored her, leaving
her alone in the world without

OLD CHIEFS REMAINS.
Body of Sleepy Eye to Rest by the
Lake Which Bears His Name

SLEEPY EYE, Mimi, Oct. 25.-(Spe
cial.)-The remains of old Sleepy Eye, the
Indian chief, were brought here today
and will be buried in Lakeside park on
the banks of the lake that bears his
name. The city council will make an
appropriation for the erection of fine
monument to be placed over the grave.
Sleepy Eye was a friendly Indian, and
lived for years with his tribe on the
banks of the lake. He died in 1859, and
was buried on small island in Big
Stone lake For years the state his
torical society has hunted for his re-
mains, and is now rewarded. Evidences
as to the bones found being the true re-
mains of the deceased chief are beyond
all question. Articles found in the grave
consist of a small mirror, a pipe and to-
bacco pouch.
C. D. Gilfllan, president of the state
historical society; President Won Hagen,
of the local milling company, and the
Rev. George Pax, of Glencoe, have been
untiring in their efforts to find the body.
A mass meeting of citizens has been
called for Saturday evening to decide on
suitable monument for old Sleepy Eye.

Judge Amidon held that Booker should
have been indicted for aiding and abet-
ting in making false returns as he mere
ly signed the statements as prepared and
submitted by employees of the bank and
did not direct the false statements.
Booker received the congratulat lions of
his friends. District Attorney Rourke
prosecuted the case most vigorously, but
could not overcome the errors of his
predecessor.
Aside from the fatal error in the indict-
ment it is said the jury would not have
convicted for lack of evidence showing
criminal intent There is another case
against Booker, charging embezZement
at this term of court. The defendant is
under 5000 bonds on this indictment.
Judge Amidon's decision on the Booker
case is the first one in a United States
court bearing directly on the point of
guilt of bank officials in signing an order
prepared by others.

DEFICIT IS SHOWN.
Pestoffice Department Is Not a Pay
ing Institution.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 25.-The annual
report of Auditor Henry A. Castle, of the
postoffice department, for the fiscal year
ended June 50, 1893, has been transmitted
to the secretary of the treasury and the
postmaster general. This bureau has the
largest accounting Office in government
or perhaps in the world, since it is the
clearing house of the entire postal serV-
ice. The report shows a volume of trans
actions, aggregating about 500 100000 for
the fiscal year. The revenues Of the pos
tai service were s95, OBJ, 1854; expenditures
of the postal service, s101, 632 ISL; volume
of money order transactions, si42, Asa, 354.
There 80 been an increase in each of
thoG' and In each one of the vari-
Gus isions thereof, showing, the
aud W, that the postal service is In
cre&sirg in all its parts, even keeping in
advance of the development of the coun-
try in other respects. The deficit in pos
tai revenues was $500 776-the smallest
since 1892. and only one-half that of 1897.
The number of postofices in the United
States on June 80 was 1884, and 1857 Of
these were doing a money order business.
The money order service of the govern
ment was conducted last year at a loss
OF considerably over 100000
