THE "sAPHor TRIAL ENDS.

NEW YORK. April 5.-Olga NethersoIe.
Hamilton Revelle. Marcus Mayer. and
Theodore Moss. accused OF having offended
public deceucy by producing the play
"Sapho," were acquitted today twelve min
utes after the jury retired to deliberate.
Justice Fursman told the jury that it was
not sitting as a vigilance committee to
guard the morals of the great city OF New
York 1t was not called upon to say
whether problem plays were fit TO be pre-
serted to audiences OF infants or young
girls: that its only duty under the law was
TO determine whether this particular
play offended the sense of de-
cency Of the average citizen of
New York. The judge reminded the jury
that it was in evidence that the theatre
had been filled with large and reputable
audiences every time the play had been
produced, and that 1t had been testified
that these audiences applGudei the play
from the beginning to the end. The justice
also made some general remarks as to the
concessions which the convsntioudlitles are
always expected to make fer the sake of
art
This charge followed the addresses by
Mr. Hummel Tor the defence and Assistant
District Attorney LeBarbier for the prose-
oution. which constituted the court pro-
ceedings for the day.
As soon as the foreman of the jury an
swered the clerks question by saying Not
guilty" Miss Nethecsole sank down in her
chair. covered her face with her hands. and
cried. Her eyes became much inlamed and
it was apparent that she was In earnest
Several women in the courtroom began to
applaud. but were stopped.
Mr.. Burnham. the assistant manager Of
the theatre. said that Miss Eethersoie
would probably almost certainly. resume
the performances Of "Sapho" on Saturday
night.

his wife as a lady. it indicates a step in

public. The American idea is not a level
ing down. but leveling UP. The citizen
OF this country does not wish to impress
on other people that they are no better
than he Is, but that he considers himself
as good as they are. The difference is sub
tie. but 1t Is there.
But the writer gets himself into trouble
later on over the difficult question of what

sweethearts, or lad and lass. as the more
outspoken peasant would do. so what is he

The Foraker Bill in the House.

1t is unfortunate for Mr. Mckinley that
after all the hard work it has taken to
jam the Porto Rican infamy through the
House and Senate, he should now be COM
PEELED to try the House again. The situa-
tion is particularly trying. at time when
the President is perspiring at every pore
in consequence OF the Dewey movement
The conditions under which he returns
to the attack upon Congressional con-
sciences are onerous. Again he is called
upon to run counter to his plain duty"
Again he must Withstand the protests Of
an outraged country.
And success is not as well assured In
this round as il was in the others. The
Administration oowardice in lodging the
Porto Rican contract laborer's case has
made an unpleasant impression among
House Republicans. Many of them natur-
ally ask why, if Mr.. Mckinley, Mr. Rookie
Teller and Mr. Hanna are SO sure that the
Constitution does not extend to Porto Rico,
and can never reach there without their
consent and action. they turn tail and run
at the first sign OF danger that a judicial
decision OF the matter might be reached
before the Presidential election?
However. the power OF the party ma
chine is great and the determination to
get hold OF the trust campaign subscrip-
tons is fixed and desperate. There is
apparently no good ground for thinking
that the thirty or forty Republican Con-
gressmen who are known to respect the
Constitution VIII be better able to hold
out on the impending occasion than they
were hefnre

The interesting and influential friends

by a Savannah grand jury for alleged
completely in the misdoings of former Cap
tain Carter are free men again. The Fed
eral District Court, in New York. has re-
fused to order their extradition to Geor-
gia, and discharged them. The Southern
judicial authorities may prepare new in
dictmeEts and try to get them in custody
again. but that would be time and effort
wasted. for it will now be practically i'm
possible TO push proceedings fast enough
to secure and to finish trying the accused
persons before the 1st day of July. when
the statute OF limitations will apply to all
their cases.
The grounds uron which the New York
judge turned these eminent citizens loose
may be technically correct. We viii not

Two New Names.-The pemocra

Two New Namcs.-The Democratic
slatemakers have two new names now
which are being written by the side OF the
Nebraskans to see how the ticket would
look and sound. One OF these is the name
of the Hon James n Phelan mayor OF
San Francisco. and the other Is that OF one
of Indiana's most distinguished sons, for
lner Senator TuIpie. An active and cner-
getic propaganda has been started for the
san Francisco man, and it is said that au-
thorized agents are now en- route East from
the Pacific Coast to whOop up things for
Phelan. 1t is presumed that Mr. Bryan
will get a look at him before he comes
back this way. and the San Franciscan's
hackers declare that if Mr.. Bryan will give
Phelan a square show he will fall a vic
tin TO the Cslifornian's charms. In addi-
ton 10 the usual requisites, Mayor Phelan
is said TO have very large barrel. which
he :,ses with characteristic Western pTodi-
galiJy in every cause in waich he becomes
interested. II is belieyed the Democrats
will need a little money before they get
through the next campaign and with
Phelau on the ticket 1t Is supposed that this
need would be very readily and very con-
pletciy filed. He is reported 10 be sound

and is also said to be a spellbinder of high
order. The movement for Mr. Turpie while
strong. is not enthusiastic yet. It IL not
denied that the eminent HOosier statesman
would add both strength and dignity to
the ticket. but for some indefinite reason
his name is not received with enthusiasm.
Then, too, there seems TO be considerable
doubt as to whether Mr.. TCrpie would con-
sent to take second place on the ticket
Again II is said that an unseemly fight
might have to be made in Indiana before
the factions there would agree on Turpie
as their favorite son. He has never been a
rabble- rouser. and a large proportion of the
practical politicians in his party have never
acknowledged him rs leader in the sense
that Mcdonald and Voorhees, We're leaders.
Mr.. Turpie is too scholarly to be popular
with the party workers and is too modest
and quiet in demeanor to be the idol OF the
masses. Still. ii is contended that his nom
ination for Vice President would give to
the ticket qualities which il would not
have il any other of the various gentlemen
being doomed for Mr.. Bfyan's running

POLITICAL NOTES AND GOSSIP.



Mr.. Long Has Bocm.-As if to
show that they are no respecters Of per
sons the Republican slate makers have
been making very free use with the name
of TIE Hon. John u. Long during the past
week for second place on the ticket. This
despite The well-known fact that
the Secretary of the Navy is sincerely de-
stroas of quitting the turmoil of politics
and the responsibilities OF official position
at the expiration of his present Cabinet
term. 1t is interesting 10 observe that
while the party managers do not seem TO
regard the Long movement as a serious
or aa earnest undertaking. yet none of
them has anything to urge against the
suggestion to make him Mr.. Mckinley's
running mate. 1t is conceded that he
would add strength to the ticket. and also
that he would grace the office of Vice
President. His wish to retire to private
life has no effect upon the views of the
managers concerning him. II they thought
he would be entirely acceptable to the in
fiuences upon which the party bosses are
relying for the reelection of Mr.. McKin-
ley there is no doubt that they would
dragon him into the race. But that he
would not be acceptable TO these influences
is admitted by everybody acquainted with
them even partially. 1t is pointed out
that aside from his inexplicable Partially
to Sampson in the Sampson chley con-
troversy Secretary Longs record is unique
in this Administration. in that no faint
of scandal has crept into the Navy De-
partment since he has been at its head.
He has conducted the great affairs of the
Department not only with honor and
credit TO himself, but also to the salts
faction of the line and staff CT the Navy.
with the bare exception OF his incompre-
hensible mstreatment OF Admiral Schley.
the hero of Santiago. PROFESSIONALLY this
is record that would be of service to
Mr.. Mckinley If Mr.. Long should be placed
upon the ticket, but as the bosses are
opposed to him 1t Is of course useless to
speculate upon him as Vice Presidential
probability. Theodore Roosevelt is the
one and only man upon whom the bosses
are united for Mr.. McKinleys running
mate, and that the Rough Rider will be
nominated grows more certain every
day.
