NELSON VALE CONVICTED.
The Verdict a Surprise TO Those VIII
Followed the Testimony.

Nelson Vale, eolored. was convicted yes
terday in Criminal Court No. Of the muir
der of Alexander jackson, also colored, on
January II last. This was the second
conviction for murder secured during last
week by Assistant District Attorney
Thomas C. Taylor representing the Gov
ernment. The other was that Of Arthur
Iandon, colored. found guilty OF the muir
der Of Henry Bradley, also colored, on De
cember y last.
The verdict in bojh cases was a sur
prise TO hose who followed the testimony.
in the latter il was not expected by the
majority of those who were posted on the
matter that the verdict would be for 4
more severe penalty than that Of man
slaughter, while there were many who
confidently looked for acquittal.
In both instances the killing was the re-
suit of street fight between the defend
ants and their victims. In the case Of
Vale it was admitted by even the wit
nesses for the Government that his victim,
Jackson, was the aggressor. and had as
saulted him by striking him with stone
before he fired the fatal shot.

IMPERIAL BUGAB00.
CAMPAIGN scAREcRoW ERECTED BY
THE DEMOCRATS.

They Would FurI the Flag and Per-
NIT spain To Continue Its work
of Opprcssion-Whnt Imperialism
Really Means.
Imperialism may serve rs n cam.
paign scarccrow, but before the har.
vest of votes is garnercd next Noyem-
her the people will recognize that II is
but a thing of straw.
Imperialism prcsupposes an empire,
and the magnificent domain over
which our lovely banner flies Is I'M
perlal In its beauty, in its products and
In Its extent. Such n wealth of hill,
mountain, plain and prairie, such an
abundance of crystal lakes and such n
network of commerce bearing rivers
were never before bestowed upon any
people. Every state is an empire,
Svery county Is principality, for
which, as true Americans, we are
proud, and for which, as Christians,
recognizing God as the God of nations,
we should be deeply grateful.
This domain has been given to us by
power that Is higher than any party
or policy, though the Republican party
was called into being In order TO pro.
test and battle against the division Of
this mighty empire, which Democracy
declared, In the press, in Its platforms
and on the bloody battlehelds, should
be divided. To this extent the charges
Of Imperialism can with truth be made
against the Republican party. Abra-
ham Lincoln was the embodiment Of
that imperial idea and martyr to the
cause of one flag, one country and one
imperial destiny.
Imperialism. IL II means anything
the Democracy would have the people
believe. implies an emperor dynasty,
n throne, crown and scepter. This
feature Of imperialism. by no stretch
of partisan misrepresentation. can ever
be charged against our honored presi-
dent and candidate for the presidency.

sovereign people.
The partisan accusation Of imperial
ism. when translated into plain, every
day English, In the light of the history
made during the brilliant adminlstra-
tion Of President Mckinley, Is simply
this The Republicans declare that II
Is their policy not to blindly abandon
the islands transferred from Spanish
to American sovereignty by the treaty
OF Paris. The Democracy, so far as II
has policy, would have the master
nation builder of the world abandon
its plain duty, furl our triumphant flag
and hunt an easy future rather than
working future. Porto Rico, recog'
nizing the fact that she cannot stand
alone, does not wish to become an in,
dependent power, and the only thirg
possible Is for the United States to con
tlnue its sovereignty, which is repub
lican, or to invite Spain to re-enter the
western hemisphere and commence
anew her policy OF misrule, of robbery

THE TWO HEADED CALF.
Democratic Platform Provides Two
Paramount Issues.


Paramount Issues.
I'VE regard It imperialism rs the
paramount ISSUE" So says the Kansas
City platform, and so say those Demo-
Gratis who are afraid of 1G to l. In
the same platform'the Democrats ire
affirm and lndorse the principles Of
the Democratic national platform
adopted at Chicago in 1896" and they
"reterate the demand made in that
platform for an American financial
system"
The demand made in the platform
OF 1896, which is thus incorporated
into the platform Of 1900, begins with
these words:
Recognizing that the money ques-
tion Is paramount to all others Mt this
time"
Put into the platform Of 1900 the
phrase "at this time" means 1000 and
can mean nothing else.
1t Is no great matter what the fran.
ers Of n platform say as to the impor'
tancc of an issue II their assertion
is not accepted by the people, the
makers and the judges Of issues, but
the fact remains that the Kansas City
platform declares that silver is the
paramount issue. II had to do that tC
satisfy Bryan and the Bryanltes. The
assertion that Imperialism is the para
mount issue is meant for the weak
kneed brethren and the few but fierce
antI-mperiallsts outside Of the Bryan
fold.
The Inclusion Of two paramount
issues in the same platform is worthy
of the silver mathematlclans.-Nev

COT HIS HAIR BACK.
Was Perfectly Bald When He Started to
Use NewbrO's HerpiCide.

Frederick Manuel, Maryland block,
Butte, Montana, bought a bottle Of
Newbro's Herpiclde, April 6, 80, and
began to use il for entire badness.
In 20 days, he says. he had hair all
over his head, and on July lie
writes, and today my hair is as
thick and luXuriant as any one could
wish. Newbro's Herpicido works on
an old principle and with new dis
,covery-destroy the cause and you
remove the effect. Herpicide destroys
the germ that causes dandrufi, fall
ing hair and finally badness, SO that
with the cause gone the effect cannot
remain. Stops falling hair at once
and starts the new growth in a
week.
