Verdict of the Coroner's Jury.

The coroners jury called together for
the purpose of holding an inquisition
over the body OF Charles Bird Billings
concluded their labors Saturday night
and returned the following verdict after
weighing the testimony:
That Bert Billings came to his death
by sutfocation, by foul air, by fire damp
in the mine. And we believe from the
evidence procured, after an examination
of the miners, that there has been care
lessness on the part OF Bert Billings on
entering into the mine at that time and
also on the part OF the management in
not providing for pure air"
What this verdict means exactly it
would be hard to determine. 1t asserts.
aud it contradicts. The dead man is
censured for performing his labor and
for entering place where the labor was
desired the labor of the deceased or h ,
would not have gone to labor simply for
the purpose Of laboring. The manage
ment OF mine is supposed to place la
Dor in no perilous position, in other
words it must provide all possible means
for the security OF labor.
A simple miner is not supposed to be
the judge OF the condition Of a mine,
whether in fair or foul condition to Ia
Dor He has not the paraphernalia, the
technical instruments for determining
the safety Of the air of mine, yet in
this verdict the man is censured because
he went where labor was to be per-
formed.
II that mine had fire damp in its en-
tries or in it's chambers somebody was
to blame for it's being there, especially as
the verdict Of the coroner's jury has said
that the management WAS to blame for
not providing pure air.

PARAGRAPHIC POINTERS.

What Hanna admires in Wood ruff's waistcoats is the denominations of the bills in the pockets.-Chicago Democrat.
 It is said that Mir. Hanna wants "business men" for delegates to the na- tional convention. He ought to be able to get enough travelling salesmen who have nothing else to do just now to fill the delegations necessary to renom- mate Mckinley and adopt prosperity platform.-Columbus (O.) Press-Post.
 If political and personal fayorites were sent to govern the Filipinos their cupidity and inefliciency would in time become as intolerable to the natives as the maladministration of Spanish of- ficials before President Mckinley adopted his policy of giving the Fili- pinos freedom by shooting them to death.-Baltimore Sun.
 When Mir. Blaine proposed the policy of reciprocity which President Mckinley is endeavoring 10 put into practice it was predicted that trouble was ahead for the protective system. It has come, and by the irony of fate comes through the man who made his fame as politician and won his nom- nation for the presidency almost sole ly by his devotion for high protective taritf.-Atlanta Journal.
 Will some prosperity shouter please explain the difference between hard times when wages are low and the necessaries of life are in correspond ing proportion and vaunted good times when wages have advanced in a few places from five to ten per cent. and the necessaries of life have advanced rom 25 to 100 per cent?

 the desk or bench, benefited by this o-calbsd wave of prosperity P Rock is- and Argus.

THE LAWS AND TRUSTS. There Are Means for Relief, Hut Res pubiieans Refuse to Fine
 pIoy Them.

Republican logic concerning the trusts is fearfulfy and wonderfully con. structed.
 It consists in making a lot of affirm- ations and in denying every affirmation that has been made.
 It afiirms that there are laws enough against trusts and denies that the laws can be enforced. It affirms that trusts are beneficient and denies that trusts exist.
 Moreover, after denying the exist- enee of trusts it makes record in the way of fostering and protecting these combines to the extent of thousands of millions of capital.
 Discussing this matter, William J. Bryan said recently in one of his east- ern speeches:
 During the last three years you can scarcely find republican who will de- nounce trust. This is so because re- publicans are in power and more trusts have been organized during the last three years than in the entire previous history of the party.
 "If you say anything to republican now about the passage of new law to kill trusts, he tells you that we have law that is broad enough to answer the purpose, that you do not need new law. Then you point out a trust and ask him why the attorney general does not destroy fl, and he says the law does not reach this case.
 "Or you can take Mr. Hanna, who, said in the last campaign in a speech he made: First, There are no trusts.' Then, The trusts are necessary evo- lution of business,' and finally, Do not be afraid of the trusts; they cannot harm you. If they're injurious, we will take care of them.'
 "There is no good monopoly in pri- vate hands, not until God sends us an- gels to take care of monopoly will it be safe to trust them to private hands, and from our experience we are in- clined to think that they come from be- low, and not from above"
 But whatever Hanna may say, what ever the lame logicians of the repub- liean party may say, the people know that trusts exist. They know this, be- cause they are robbed by the trusts. Their pocketbooks are emptied by the trusts. They face condition and not a theory.
 There are laws against trusts, which would give some relief, but therepublic- an party refuses to enforce them. There should be stronger laws, and if the peo- pie hope for relief they must elect . democratic executive who will approve good laws and enforce them.-Chicago Democrat.

 ''Toot, toot!" said the general, 'come, I'll help you.'
 So the gray-eyed, pleasant-faced lit tie girl, coming back, found the father of his country breaking up wood at a great rate, while her little brother was laughingly gathering chips.
 ''Oh, ST." sald Martha, with amaze. what a man you'd be around the housel"
 And she was still more amazed at the effect her words had upon the stranger, who dropped the ax and threw his head back with quite roar of laughter, until, for the pure happi- ness of it, little Jack and Martha laughed too.
 T like you" said Jack, grabbing the generals hand as they went into the house. "Come and see us often and Til show you where the best fishing place is"
 My father would be glad to wei come you, sir" said the courtly maid en. His business takes him away just now almost every day, but in the spring"
 q thank you kindly" said the gen eral. And as live near here, I hope I shall be friends with my new neigh. bors. But this is milk?'
 q thought you'd like it better than water, sir. And please try these cakes, which I made this morning, because-'' "'Cause it's her birthday" cried Jack. "She's 13 and I'm seven."

 And he bowed very low, and she bobbed her very best courtesy, and Jack cried out:

 Nen'ral, grandpa's compymens. happy returns, mine, too. General. I want to know, grandpa says you're a nero, and want to be hero, too, when i'm growed up. Can't I, please? Grand pa says not to talk nonsense. It isn't nonsense, is it, general? Can't I be q hero when I'm growed big?"
 Big Washington stopped and lifted the child-did you ever know a hero that didn't love children ?-and kissed his cheek and whispered:
 None of us can be great or good without Gods blessing. To be a hero you must be good as great. So pray first and always that God will make you good"
 The little enthusiast looked deep and grave into the generals eyes, suddenly kissed the kind mouth hard, said: q will,' and, sliding down, rode off with his sgroom-always a better man for that caressing whisper.
 When it was still long from the state ly festival dinner George Washington slipped away from the crowd at the house and wandered off by himself. though with great dread that some pale young man should jump out from a bush and fire birthday ode at him.
 Now he was off Mount Vernon farm. and by lane away from the main road In the corner of the lane, in a most de- serted, newly-cleared spot, about 50 feet back in the bushes, was the new est of tiny cottages, with unpainted walls, and rough timbers, and a newly laid-out garden at the back George Washington looked from the wood through which he was wandering. and paused.
 ''That was not there when I had time before the war to run about" said he.

COMMERCIALLY SORDID.
The Country Under Political DOm- ination of SouIless Corr
 ruptionists.

''The South African war;" declares Tolstoi, lis sign of our times. but very sorrowful one. 1t tells us that a sordid, soulless commerciaiism rules the world" This same sordid, souIless commercialism has assumed a danger ous and lamentable potency in that important portion of the world occu- pied by the United States. It is assert ing its rule through the instrumen- talities of the republican party, which is merely the political agent of the vast combinations of wealth which use it to set laws restraining their cupidity at defiance.
 It is this same sordid, soulless com- mercialism controlling our government and cooperating with the same baneful influences in England that makes it refuse to give official utterance to the popular sympathy of millions of ctti- zens of this great republic for the brave men who are enduring all the horrors of war in defense of home and native land in South Africa.
 This is the first instance in the his- tory of the United States when its gov ernment has looked on with cold blooded indifference and silence upon the struggles of weak people battling against strong foe for the God-given right of freedom without raising it's voice in protest. But this is the first time that ever the country was under the political domination of an imperial istic and soullessly sordid band of cor ruptionists, headed by Mark Hanna and figureheaded by William Mckinley.

''Who can they be? They're not Af- ricans. Oh, mol"
 For from the house came a bright voice that was certainly Virginian.
 Now, Jack" said the voice, you must not be so lazy. because there is ever so much to do before father comes home.'
 q ain't lazy, Martha" said another voice, unmistakably the shrill one of boy. I'm doing what dad said I'm looking after you and protecting you"
 "Oh, Jack, do you call eating rais- ins and sitting on the table protecting me?"
 Well, it is. If anyone was to come round now to hurt you, even King George himself, wouldn't I be ready to kill him?'
 Well" said Martha, with a laugh, q don't expect King George this morn ing. Our George, bless him"
 "Hooray!"
 Has boxed his ears. But there is work to be doDe."
 q don't see any"
 "You are looking only at the raisins. How do you expect to eat if you don't work? And how am to get supper for daddy in the evening"'
 "Oh, I have thought of that. I'll go fishing, and you'll fry them."
 ''Oh, and who would protect me while you're fishing, please"
 You can come, too, if you won't always call out: Mind you don't fall in.'
 "Be good, Jack, and fetch me some water from the well, and chop little firewood." The general had been listening and chuckling. Always the sound of chil- dren's voices frightened his eyes. Now be suddenly stepped up to the open door of the little new house and bowed. He was dressed very plainly for his muddy walk, and his boots were spat- tered, and he looked quite plain and homely.

Martha Washington at Valley Forr

The part which Martha Washington played at Valley Forge has, indeed, sell dom received the credit which it de- serves as an example of the virtues of the women of the revolution. No sol dier's wife was more faithful to her husband in the midst of his perils and hardships than simple-hearted Martha Washington, one of the richest women of the colonies. She visited the sick and suffering in their huts; she braved the dangers of the smallpox; she patched trousers. knitted socks and made shirts for the men, and his "dear Patsy" as the big general used to call his plump and pleasant little wife, kept the ladies of the camp busy. when they called on her at the stone house, sewing for the soldiers.-Wil- ham Perrine, in Ladies' Home Journal.

The republican national conven- ton will not select the candidate for vice president at Philadelphia in June, as he has been already chosen by Chairman Hanna at Washington, half a year in advance of the meeting of the convention, which will be required not to make choice of it's own, but to ratify that of Mir. Hanna. Chair man Hanna still dictates to the re- publican party both it's nominations and policies. It is only just to him that his supreme authority should bo thus frankly acknowledged. - Phila- delphia Ledger (Rep.).
