New York. Nov. 2.-The grand jury At
Paterson, n j., today handed up in
dictu.Snts against Walter c. OIcAHster,
George J. Kerr. William A. Death and
Andrew Campbell, who are charged with
the murder OF Jennie BOsscheiter. who
was drugged to death on October Is.
There were two indictments against each
Of the young men, one for murder and
the other for rape, the first, it is said,
also embracing the latter. 1t is said that
while the grand jury was considering the
case some Of the members were disposed
to find an Indictment against Sculthorpe,
who, by his own admissions, was an ac-
cessory to the assault, but they were in
the minority. The hackman claimed to
know nothing about the condition Of the
girl when she was bundled into his rig
and that when ne arrived at the Rock
road he. was coerced by two Of the men
into doing as he was told. 1t is said
that in the course of the discussion Of
the case among the members of the
grand jury it was stated that Jennie's
heart was weak and that It was posi-
BILE this may have been the cause of
her death There was no evidence that
.chloral was administered, and this point
can only be determined by tne analysis
Of the stomach or by a confession from
one Of the accused men The physicians
could not say positively that death was
due to a. poisonous drug. bat this mat
ter viii be cleared before the case
comes to trial 1t was said in support
of the statement that death may have
been due to a weak heart. that on one
occasion Jennie, while standing on a
street corner talking to two young men,
fell in a faint and remained unconscious
for half an hour
The vote on the indictment is said to
have been unanimous. Chemical analy-

been made to the county physician. on
this report much is said 20 depend. Tt
is said it may be needfuI to accent the
confession Of Campbell or Death or both
as witnesses, and accept pleas of guiItv
from them TO the crime Of rape only. IF
the analysis is strong enough the confess

ANALYSIS does establish poison. it is said
that the state may elect to eliminate that
feature and proceed to trial upon the as
sumption that the violence of the as
sault caused heart trouble and death.
and that would entail the death penalty.

THE POWERS TRIAL.

The IntelHgencer announces that the
Georgetown KY, was judicial farce"
and also that Youtsey is to be the
next victim" That is one way of
putting it. Caleb Powers had a fair
trial. He was convicted by a jury of
his peers, every man Of them convinced
of his guilty knowledge of the crime
of murder. Youtsey will also have a
fair trial He will not be a victim
unless he is guilty, and so with the
rest. William Goebel was foully muir
dered shot down like a dog for po-
litical purposes and as the result of a
deliberate plot The guilt is being
fixed by due process of law, and jury
passes upon the evidence. That terrible
crime cannot be hushed up. The truth
and the whole truth must be known,
and it will be- One man who occupied
a high position has been adjudged
guilty. Others may hereafter stand in
the same predicament. But no matter
who the guilty may be, the law must
be allowed to take it's course and crime
must be punished. 1t Ill becomes the
Intelligencer or any other paper to
sheer at the administration of justice.
And it may be here remarked from the
time of the shooting of William Goebei
down to the present moment no Re-
publican official has made one move
ment to bring his assassin to justice
and no Republican paper has demanded
arrest, trial or conviction. On the con-
trary the Republican press has ever
been willing to forget the tragedy of
Frankfort, and Republican officials,
from Governor Mount of Indiana, down
have been willing and ready to shield
from the law any and every one even
suspected of guilt. That fact is in
controvertible. Governor Roosevelt has
maligned the Democratic party as one
standing for lawlessness and disorder
and license and dishonor. In the Ken
lucky case the Republican party has
stood for assassination.

No men are better posted on trust evils
than the commercial travellers, who in
large numbers have lost their positions
The combining of many companies under
one head has led naturally TO policies of
retrenchment, and the first to feel the
knife were the statesmen whose srvices
were no longer in demand now that mo-
nopoly needed only established agencies
These "men without a job" hold the Re
publican party responsible for their mis-
fortunes and in an open letter just issued
they are not backward in saying so. This
letter contains the following telling words
THE trusts in all their oppressive cam
paigns against the rights and property of
the people have raised no more dangerous
or potent enemy than the discarded sales
man, and his fellow who still holds his
job. but knows that he must go, too, as
soon as the dragnet gets around to the
concern for which he travels.
THE statement that $1,000 statesmen
We're thrwn out of employment by the
amalgamation of 21S4 independent con-
Germs into 100 gigantic trusts has disturbed
their equanimity. They themselves are
beginning to realize the enormity of their
offense. not because they are repentant,
but because they fear the effect this may
have on themselves. through its effect
upon the pending election.
The trusts are neither honest nor con-
sistent. They raise the prices of every
article they control. and they cut the
salaries of everybody that works for
them. They are the great menace of this
country the commercial plague of the
century, the beast of Revelations to which
all must pay tribute"

SAVE OUR COUNTRY.

o, noble patriots of old,
Where have your precious spirits fed?
Why do you teach mankind no more
The beauty of unselfishneSs?
Yes, there are some appreciate,
And would that they could only rule.
OH why should greed devour hearts.
All love and mercy seem to kill,
Until our politicians live
But 70 Cypress and weaken men,
To gain what Doodle that they can?
They nations now would subjugate
And try to claim them for their own,
While poor and struggling patriots
Are crushed beneath their selfishnesS.
America! America.
OH little did we ever think
Thy manhood would be so debased
That thou a tyrant e'er shouldst be,
And try 10 crush anothers rights.
Ny country who so bravely fought
For freedom many years ago,
And knew how sweet it was to win
And our own independence claim,
Canst thou forget and fail to give
To other countries their own rights?
Hast thou no sympathy for them
Who fight for freedom as thou didSt?
CanSt thou Cypress and crush the hearts
OF patriots who strive to live?
All! if tbs so, America,
Thou now art taking the lrst steps
To dig thy grave and fall therein.
A country cannot live and thrive
On greed and its unrighteousness.
And when its manhood is debased
1t nearS the time when 1t shall fall,
Unless 1t learns to live again
In righteous ways as God desires.
Oh! noble patriots, awake!
And save our country, ere too late,
From the death grip of selfish greed.
All cody men, oh! come, unite,
And bring our noble country back
To freedoms true and righteous ways.
Give us true manhood once again
Or we ourselves shall be oppressed
And writhing meath the hand of greed.
The time has come when we must act,
And soar above lifeS selfshness,
Or souls be lost in darkest crimes.
It's God or mammon now must rule
And men themselves will have to choose
Which ruler their souls will obey.
Each one himself helps make or mar
The country which we all should love
Oh! save it, save It, men who love,
And stop its bloody deeds of war
Which tell not the Saviour's love
But let us teach Christs Golden Rule
Winch will again bring peace on earth.

MoBS CONTRASTED.

The Atlanta Constitution, taking
for its text the recent race riots in New
York City. draws an interesting paral-
lei between such deplorable affairs,
North and South, to the distinct ad-
vantage of the South. Frankly ad-
hitting that Southern mobs have taken
summary vengeance upon negroes, it
acCentuates the fact that whenever this
violence crops out it is almost invar-
iably against an individual guilty or
suspected of a crime, aud is seldom
or never against the blacks as a race,
whereas in New York City the whites
were hostile against the blacks simply
because they were black and not be-
cause of any specific offense. Quoting
from the New York Press the Con-
situation says: whenever a negro
showed his head he was mobbed." The
object of the mob was to wreck veng-
eance on the negroes" Negroes were
dragged from their homes, from stoops
and from street cars and from under
stairways, where they had taken
refuge" Every negro who showed
himself on the sidewalk or on the sur
face cars was badly beaten" NE
groes were dragged off the cars. kicked
and stoned" And so on. And in
drawing the contrast the Constitution
proceeds:
Now for the parallel take the Sam Hose
case, which has so shocked the critics.
The man was the actual perpetrator of a
crime for which neither law nor nature
has furnished penalty He was tied TO
