INDICATING JUSTICE.

The Bakers, of Clay county, kentucky,
have been indicated. A jury of his peers
declared, on the first lalIot, that Jim
Baker was guiltless of the murder of one
Wilson Howard. And, after some pardon
able handshaking with each other, the
members of the Baker household have re-
tired from Barbourville declaring that the

family have been wayiaid and murdered
by the Towards or any of them

Singular Sensation That Is Expert
enced by Many Persons.
Philadelphia Record
EIany persons who visit Niagara Falls
find they have great desire to leap from
various points on the several bridges or
from one of the numerous points Of OBJ
servation. For this reason, after once
having experienced the fascinating SEN
sation that coaXes them on to death in
the deep and rapid-running waters, they
never go near any of the seductive points
without being in company with some one
who will guard them from harm as re-
suit of what perhaps might be termed by
some their weakness.
Many people who have visited Niagara
have confessed that the waters Of the
beautiful river had a weird fascination
for them while standing at places where
death would be easy by simply letting go
ones hold and slipping into the river, and
people saved from suicide there have adj
mitted that, they knew no reason why
they should end their lives, but the scene
was so delightful that it coaXed them to
seek the peace of death there.
In other places than at Niagara the
public comes in touch with folks who,
on an elevation, have proneness to
Jump off, and for this reason they keep
away from all such dangerous points. An
interesting explanation of this desire is
that given some years ago by Prof. Lowe,
of the army balloon corps. He had fire.
quently invited a newspaper correspond
ent to make an ascension with him, but
each time the invitation was declined.
Later he told the professor of the temp
tation he had to jump from high places
and that he feared making an ascent.
For this he was laughed at, the professor
stating that the reason people had such
desires was that they were full of cleo
tricity; that the magnetic current in the
earth was the attraction, and that what
he was standing on carried the current.
He also said that up in a balloon the con-
tinuity was cut off. Finally the man
made an ascension and found that the de-
sire to jump was not present 1t is a GU

JusTIcE FOR COL. AmEs.

Our Republican contemporaries have
felt called on, almost without exception,
to assume the correctness of the charges
which have been directed against the per-
sonaI courage of the colonel of the Thir-
teenth regiment. Such a course seems
to have been thought necessary by them
for the supposed vindication OF the reg!-
ment. They may probably find that they
have had just as much and just as little to
sustain them in their attitude as they had
in their scandalous treatment of Gen.
Reeve.
Col. Ames has done the only manly and
sensible thing to do under the .ircum-
stances. He has asked for the fullest
investigation into his conduct. Gov Lind
also has done what a thoughtful. just and
unprecedented man might be expected to
do. Having taken such steps as would
prevent any premature and probably un-
just action being taken in Col Am=s'
case he finally Invested himself of all re-
sponsibility in the premises by referring

longed
side of this controversy. 1t would on
the face of things as they stand, he mani
testify unfair to the accused soldier to
condemn him without the fullest hearing
The statements made to his detriment are
all ex parte, and, in themselves, present
nothing like convincing proof of any i'm
propriety of conduct on his part.
Without rejecting at all on any oH tina
coloneIs subordinate officers. it seems
not unlikely that there has been no small
measure of personal politics involved in
the antagonisms which have prevailed.
and that there is no exception with refer
ence to those which surround Col. A1nes
in the present case. It would not be
right to fasten the responsibility at this
stage on any particular individual or in
divtduals for the charges which have been
bruited against Col. Ames But the latest
press dispatch, averring on the authority
of the colonel himself that these charges
have emanated from Maj Bean. in
temporary command of the regiment.
seems to throw some additional light on
the subject which does not tend by any
means to emphasize the belief in Ames'
unworthiness. Many of us in this city
know Maj. Bean; and, assuming the cor
RICHNESS Of the statement that Bean is at
the bottom of the prevailing rumors and
that the statement is made on the author
ity of the colonel himself, what has been
said to the detriment of the colonel may
be safely taken with a reasonable allow
ance of salt.
There is ample time in which to set this
whole matter right without doing inius-
tlce to any one The way to do this has
been pointed out by Col Ames. 1t should
and probably will be adopted. In the
meantime it is just, both to the regiment
and its commander, to await the outcome
OF the resulting investigation before COM
ing to any definite conclusion.

BEGINNING OF THE ExD

When the empires of Britain and Rus
STA, short time ago. IN the interest Of
Christianity and civilization, agreed upon
the adoption of the sphere of influence"
policy, great stress was laid upon the
fact that the Sovereign Rights of China
S'cre III all events to be protected. The
first occasion when Chinas Sovereign
Rights came at an into question was
within the past few days, when it was
proposed to enter into a treaty with ia
pan. Russia has not delayed in making
it plain at least how she regards China S
Sovereign Rights. One of these rights
ought to be to enter into a treaty with a
friendly power. For China to do so, how
ever, would give Russia great offense, and
the consequences to the Celestials would
be most serious.
So much for Russia's regard for the
Sovereign Rights of China.
The other great Christianizing and civ
liking force is yet to be heard from. OF
course the Anglo-Saxon, especially when
compared with the Slav, is a very SUI
perior person. There can at least be no
question as to his disinterested Christian
mission in the far East. The Sovereign
Rights Of China could in no sense be a
mere blind to a person with so sublime a
mission as his. Therefore are we all JUS
tilted in the expectation that the Anglo

Sovereign Rights of weak states. Let US
not be surprised, then. to hear of un-
usual activity in the shipyards and mill
tary recruiting stations of England, as
the result of this brutal invasion by Rus
STA of the Sovereign Rights of China
There is but one circumstance which
is at all likely to interfere with the as
sertion of England's humanitarian mis-
sion in the Orient. ard that is that she
was the principal advocate of mediation
and arbitration recently at The Hague.
1t is not Impossible that England may
see an opportunity. to play successfully,
in this case, the role of mediation and
arbitration. She will find a precedent
for such a policy in on of Aesop's fables,
wherein a thoughtful fox, in a dispute
between certain other members of the
animal kingdom, played such a role with
gratifying success to his own fortunes
The immediate future will show whether
this precedent has been wholly lost sight
of by Chinas Christian neighbor in the
preservation of her Sovereign Rights.

VAN WICK CONFERENCE.
Informal Discussion of Democratic
Presidential Campaign.

I
SARATOGA, N. Y, Aug S.-Joseph ].
Willett, of Alabama, the head of the con-
tingent of Southern Democrats promoting
the presidential boom Of Augustus Van
Wyck, and who was expected to arrive in
Saratoga on Friday next telegraphed
from Admission, Ala, that he was delayed
by legal business and could not reach
here until Aug. IA.
A piazza conference was held at the
Grand Union hotel between Augustus
Van Wyck, William F. Harrity of Penn
sylVania, eX-chairman of the Democratic
national committee; Free" Rasin, of
Baltimore; Fleming Dubignon, OF Geor-
gia; Col. Joseph Clark, of California;
Col William H. Jackson, of Tennessee;
Col. Dick Bright, sergeant-at-arms of
the United States senate, and James
SheVlin, of Brooklyn.
1t was noticed that none of the Tam
many people were in the conference
group. The general trend of the CONVEX
sation related to the gaining strength of
Van Wyck, the numerical showing he
was likely to make in the Democratic
national convention, and the rapidly in
creaisng anti-Bryan sentiment that was
spreading over the country. Reference
was made to the apparent fact that six
teen to one is dead issue.
1t is understood that the Van Wyck
following will hold a regular conference
as soon as Mr.. Willett arrives.

Gratis to Get Together.
LOUISVILLE, KY, Aug. S.-Hon. W. ].
Stone, of Missouri. acting chairman of
the Democratic national committee, has
written a letter to National Committee
man Urey WOodson, of Kentucky, ex-
pressing the hope that Kentucky Demo-
Gratis will unite on the ticket nominated
at Louisville. Gov. Stone says:
ut is entirely clear to me that Ken
lucky Democrats should lay aside mere
personal consideration and strive to elect
the ticket nominated at Louisville 1t
must be remembered that it often hap
pens that the proceedings of large bodies
like the convention at Louisville are char
acterized by more or less disorder and
seeming unfairness, especially when per-
sonal rivalry becomes intense. But after
all, it rarely happens that it becomes a
matter of supreme Importance whether
one candidate or another for party hon
ors Is successful. What the Democracy
of Kentucky, and of the nation, is most
interested in is success at the polls. A
loss of Kentucky at this time will be a
serious blow to the party in the nation"
