1rnGE IACKsoN,s CHARGE.

Judge ]. ]. Jackson, of the Federal
Court, yesterday delivered a notable
charge to the grand jury. We reproduce
it in part this morning and desire to
particularly call attention to that por-
ton of his remarks which treats of the
Importance of the purity of elections
and of the pernicious effects of the use
Of money for election purposes. His adj
vice is sound, and his words of counsel
and of caution ought to sink deep into
the minds of men of all political parties.
His voice sounds note of warning in
very trutn when he pointedly and per-
tinently says:
You see in almost every paper and
you hear upon almost every breeze
that money amounting to millions, if
necessary. will be contributed for the
election OF this or that man who may
be a candidate for public office The
country has grown so hardened TO this
thing. and so accustomed to it, that it
no more awakens the feelings of sensi-
bility in the political nature OF this
country to arouse it to a consideration
of what we are tending TO. 1t is time we
should stop; it is time TO call halt 1t

Is that "mountaineers are always free
-sMontani Sempre Liberi" and this
is the best place in this country TO inau-
gurate that which may prove to be a
revolution in the right direction
This is grand advice. and so is this
great truth, uttered by him little
later on:
Every citizens of this country has a
right TO his convictions: every citizen
OF this country has a right to express
his opinions; But DO MEAN TO SAY

the Police Court statistics of that city
for the past year, and finds that with
in the twelve months seven hundred
and seventy-one women assaulted
their husbands with weapons, ranging
from broom handles to nursing bot
ties and from hat pins to riding whips.
This is a deplorable state of affairs.

and if he don't go for fear Of violence
he gets a beating anyhow when he

THE BOARD OF TRA-E.

The Register notes with the great
est satisfaction the interest our local
business men aer taking in the Board
of Trade movement, and earnestly
recommends that every business man
and public spirited citizen lend his ali
and encouragement to the prompt AMI
effective organization of the body and
the quick and practical inauguration
of the ideas advanced. The city has
needed such a movement for years,
a fact universally recognized, but al
though there was much talk about
what ought to be done, nothing really
was ever done in the direction OF
bringing about energetic action in
the PROPER direction until few gen.
tlemen took hold of the matter They
soon enlisted the aid of those who,
thinking with them, had made no eff
fort, and the movement has grown
like a snow ball on a down-grade,
until now there is pledged fund Of
nearly fifteen thousand dollars per
year for term of three years, and
a determination to shake the bushes
in business matters. That good results
will accrue is as certain as that adj
vertising pays The Board of Trade
is moving in the right direction. 1t
is going to extend our reputation
abroad and it is to bring more people
here. 1t is to offer such proper in
ducements as it can command to those
who are seeking locations for new
businesses or manufacturing estab-
l!shments And more than all, it will
infuse a new life into our business
community, and awaken the individual
members to realizing appreciation
Of the truth of the fact that what
benefits one to come extent benefits
all, and that every additional visitor
secured to the city, and every extra
sale of goods made-every additional
lhoA oAiPioyoo anu OfOiy new oA1CA
prise, however small, installed, means
something to the whole community.
Working energetically along these
lines, as we believe the Board of Trade
will, great good will be accomplished
The improvement may not be imme.
diately noticeable, but progress will
be made. Every little will help, and
AT the end of year or two. the change
will be noticeable. Meanwhile let us
all help to the extent of our ability

1t is not pleasant TO hear OF black
party in Cuban politics nor TO read the
reports of the parade of negroes in SAN
tiago after the election, bearing banners
with the emblems of piracy and such mot
toes as Death to the Opposition A
black party once in evidence means In
evitably a white party also with all
the possibilities of disorder and misrule
that such a drawing of lines in politics
necessitates, Cuba should take pattern by
the best, nor the worst. things that exist

Not a Policy of Americans.

WdSHtnSIOH FUsI.
Ii we need any reason, further than our
own solemnly confirmed promise, to with
draw from Chinese SOIL the fact that
Germany intends TO remain there is more
than enough. Emperor William has os-
tentat:ously announced his purpose of
vengeance and spoiation. He has sounded
the keynote: Stay and spare not, and has
confidently invoked Gods blessing on his
enterprise of rapine and determination.
But there is no place in this abominable
equation for humane and enlightened
and free people. The sooner we eliminate
ourselves the better for our honor now
and our repute in history.

goguery. claptrap intended TO catch the

party had been given another lease OF
power. Mr.. Hanna's confession is inter
esting. 1t is important. 1t brings the
trust question forward as live issue. No
longer can Mr.. Hanna's party claim that
there is no trust issue because both par

cation has shown that not single office
