Not a word have the Republican
newspapers of Ohio had to say about
the disclosure that Gen. Dick. the
chairman Of their State committee
and candidate for Congress in the
Nineteenth district, is a silver mine
owner. How can the cause of sound
money make any headway in Ohio with
a Silver Baron at the very head OF
the Republican organization7

ed the new commandment which
Griggs and all of McKinley's prosecut-

and the vote stood eleven to one for
acquittal. Only one man, and he quite
plainly not up to the business meth

Of health being given to the great rob-
Der Of the age.
When the case came on for second
trial extraordinary precautions were
taken to secure an incorruptible jury,
by methods highly interesting but not
necessary to be detailed here. And after
the jurors were sworn, until the end
of the trial they were kept together.
When they went to their meals, and
when the court adjourned for the day,
they were put in custody Of twelve Of
ficers--one officer for each Juror. These
officers were required to make con-
stant reports, and to permit no one to
have any communication with any OF
the Jurors except by special permission
Of the Court. Lest some of these off,
GERS should prove derelict in their du.

to watch them, and they were required
to make daily report. Then, in order
to make assurance doubly sure, twelve
more were appointed to watch the
watchers, and they also were required
to make daily report"
This much-watched client of Mr.
Root feared the result of the watching
and so his counsel, including Mr.. Root
prepared, and over their signatures
presented to the Judge presiding Al

Mr.. Elihu Root, Secretary Of War at
present, is to speak at Youngstown on
Thursday.
He comes to Ohio, It is announced,
at the special instance Of the Presi-
dent, in order that the people Of Mr..
McKinley's old district may learn their
lesson of political duty from first
sources.
Mr.. Root has come into prominence Of
late years, chiefly as very acute and
thrifty corporation attorney. He was
brought into the Cabinet to help Griggs
look after the interests Of the trusts
part Of the time and talent of that
Jerseyest of Jersey lawyers being oc-
cupied in looking after the welfare Of
the canteen.
Mr.. Root will tell the good people Of
Youngstown that they are in danger,
IL they listen to Mr.. Bryan, Of being
led into the by and forbidden paths of
anarchy and dishonesty, and If they
inquire how 1t is that he becomes COM
petent to tutor them in the lessons of
political uprghtness, and in what
school Of public morals he was himself
trained, he may not tell them, but it is
O. fact, nevertheless, that he came into
prominence as the attorney for Will
liam NJ. Tweed. He was one Of the eight
eminent lawyers who defended the
boss" in the great trial when the lat
ter was found guilty on two hundred
and four counts of the indictment un,
der which he was prosecuted.
Mr.. Secretary Root, in addition to
informing the Youngstown folks that
he and Mark Hanna have the honor
of the country in their especial custo
dy, will, no doubt, have good deal
to say as to the dlabolical purpose OF
the Democratic party in its assault
on the judiciary" and his fiercest in
vective will be thundered at Mr.. Bry
an and his platform, because these dt
not show proper degree Of ''respect
for the Courts"
Here too, before the electors of Ohit
will admit that Mr.. Root and his fel
lows have monopoly Of law-abiding
ness, they may see At to ask whether
he has always practiced what he il
now preaching and whether it lies IL
his mouth to admonish them in respec
to their duties to the judiciary, or t,
reprove Mr.. Bryan for lack of his.
To answer this question properly, i
may be necessary to dip up a. modes
penfull of almost forgotten history, 70
Secretary Root will feel as reluctant t,
refer to it as his cabinet colleagu,
John Hay does to have anyone speal
of his early but dignifed poems o

like.
Well then, Tweed was twice tried up
on the indictment referred to,-whicl
covered the greatest number of steal
ever charged against one person in tn
annals Of jurisprudence.

inent counsel made substantially n

there was no defence to make. Thei

who had not had the opportunity of shal- ing their hands during the reception at the Womans building greeted them at thls place. It is estimated that between eight and ten thousand people were at the fair grounds during the day and it is probable that nearly every one of these shook the two heroes by the hand.
 Lieutenant Hobson's mother, sister and brother were present at both receptions Lieutenant Hobson does not wear q mous- tache now, having had it shaved off recent ly. This fact prevented a ready recognition by great many people who had been accustomed to seeing his picture as taken when he wore heavy moustache.
 The special feature of the day began with a parade from the Morris Hotel to the fair grounds. The parade was formed at noon in front. of the Morris, with Capt. J. B. Morson as grand marshal and Troop D special escort to the heroes. The parade was formed in the following order:

PRODUCE MARKET
 OF BIRMINGHAM
Has Been Fairly Active This Week, and in Most Lines
 Supply Was Plentiful

The produce market of Birmingham has been fairly active this week and in most lines stocks have been large enough to meet the demands
 Eggs are selling readily at 19c, and a few lots have sold as high as 20. Chickens are in light supply and dull. Butter is selling well at quotation prices-25c for choice country or creamery and 22 to g for "Mis- sissippi best" Common grades of butter command from IS to 15c but there is very little of this sort offered.
 The market was almost bare of cabbage for several days, but a car load arrived from New York yesterday and there will be more later in the week. The commission merchants are getting only 1A cents a pound for it, but it will probably be ad vanced to 115 before another week rolls around. Irish potatoes continue active. There have been no changes in commission quotations since last week.
 In fruits, apples are steady sellers, and so are grapes. Florida oranges are in brisk demand at $3 25 a box. Col. E. l.. Hig- don, the broker has sold to this market 3S00 boxes of Florida oranges for December delivery. Colonel Higdon reports a fine de- mand for California products. He has in transit eleven ear loads of California goods nuts, raisins, figs, prunes and canned fruits The English walnuts and oceans grown in the great Pacific State are fast driving those produced in the old world out of the American markets. In the con- signments on the way from California to Birmingham are one car of oceans 250 bags; one car of walnuts-20O bags, and one car of almonds-250 bags.
 The quotations on country produce in an other column are those which are fur nished by commission merchants.

LOCAL COTTON MARKET.
Birmingham Market is Featureess
 This Week.

Birmingham's cotton market has been featureless this week. Prices have varied only slightly, ranging generally between 8 1O-16 and SIS for good midland. The mar ket closed yesterday at the latter quota tion. The movement in this section was very light the early part of the week but yesterday it was comparatively heavy.
 The receipts vAre larger here yesterday than al any time in the past ten days.
 But the farmers are as rule holding back for higher prices and there will be no rush of cotton to this market within the next week or two unless the price should jump up to 9la. Ten cent cotton is expected again, but just when no one pretends 10 know.
