1tNAcA1 U1u uAeQ ND N ingenious
story in his own behak, which he IN
sisted was true, in the FACE 81 positive
contradiction. Prosecuting Attorney
Frank w. Nesbitt called to see him in
the Jail, and several persons were
brought in to identity him The first
was a man who had followed him on
the railroad. lie negro sought to
make it appear that he had also joined
in the chase. and that the culprit was
third party.
Didn't we chase man up into the
board pile?' he asked.
NO, we didn't. / chased you up
there" was the reply.
Mrs. Schumann was brought down to
the Jail in a carriage. Mitchell was
placed with two other negro prisoners.
and Mrs. Schumann pointed him out
without any hesitation. One OF two
other witnesses did the same. The
identification was complete.
Prosecuting --ttorney Nesbitt learned
where Mitchell boarded, and found
that the contents of his dinner pail tall
lies exactly with the contents of the
pail dropped by the negro who went
over the back fence to the railroad
tracks.
Justice Fitzpatrick came to the Jail
in the afternoon, and wrote out a COM
mitment without bail, for preliminary
hearing on Saturday
The prisoner is typical negro, of
rather slender build, with small mus
tache, and was roughly dressed in pan
falcons, shirt and vest He claimed to
have come to Wheeling from Mason

Mrs. Schumann's Story.
Mrs. Schumann's neck was discol-
ored where the black fend had clutch
ed her throat and she was almost pros
trated. She went to bed after return
ing from the Jail, and was lying in bed
when she told the story to Register
reporter 1t was substantially as
given above, with the exception that
she thought the negro might have
chloroformed her. from the fact that
he threw something on her face when
she revived
The black brute was frightened off
before he had accomplished his hellish
design.
From similarity in name and de-
scription, it is thought that Mitchell
may be negro of unsavory reputation
in Bridgeport. The Bridgeport negro
got into trouble through writing in
sulting letters to respectable white
girl in that city, and was forced to
leave. The Bridgeport marshal came
over to this city last night for the pur-
pose of trying to identify the prisoner.
He was not permitted to enter the Jail,
however, because of the fact that pre-
cautions had been taken against pos
sfble surprise on the part of persons
who might determine to punish the
negro. No person was permitted to
enter or leave the Jail after dark.
While there was considerable ugly
talk and not a few threats against
Mitchell, there was no necessity for
placing extra guards at the jail. No
crowds assembled there during the
night, and no hostile demonstration
was made.

The civilized powers are crying aloud for

It ought not to he SURPRISING If under
such circumstances England should find
it necessary to resort to retaliatory
measures. That her trade languishes un-
prising. Nor can it be wholly attributed
to the failure of her business men to
keep abreast with the spirit of modern
production. It is. not England that is
at fault. It is that the other nations
have not kept pace with her. She has
been pioneer in the domain of free1
world trade. and she is Suffering the
loss which comes from being in advance

4 PIONEER or FREE TRADE.


1t seems to be beyond dispute that
England has lost some measure at least
of her prestige as manufacturing
country, and that the volume Of her trade
has become reduced, not only relatively
toward such countries as this and Ger
many, but absolutely as well. Remedies
.of different kinds have been suggested;
but the only tangible thing which seems
to have suggested itself to the British
public is the adoption in some qualified
form of the principle of what is known
as fair trade That. reduced to general
adoption of high, non-revenue, protec-
tive tariff. Whether England will adopt
this course or will go ahead with the ma
tiona1 policy which has until recently
been found so valuable since the days Of
the corn laws, the fact that such a poll
ey is being seriously considered by that
country at this stage of the worlds prog
ress is of itself circumstance worthy
of serious thought.

CONVINCED or IT'S INJUSTICE

1t is a bold attempt which the admins
tration has made to throttle the EXPIRES
sion of public sentiment in connection
with the verdict of the naval court of in
curry. But the attempt will fail. Official
regulation and esprit du corps may die

but why any other class Of public en-

EKMAN rs AL RIGHE.

The resignation of Mr. Edward Ekman
one of the assistants of the present public
examiner, does not present his superior
in Office in very enviable light. Mr..
Ekman is known to the people of st.
Paul AS one of the most efficient account
ants and conscientious public officials that
can be found in this or any other COM
munity. His work in the different direc-
tons in which he has been called on to
act officially shows him to be at once
capable and fearless, and unwilling to
yield to either personal or official influ-
ences in the discharge of his duty.
Such an official was entitled to better
sent off from his home at the Christmas
season, when no special necessity de-
manded such action. In common with
men in private life, public employees are
entitled to have every reasonable con
cession made to them at this season
which will recognize the social and per-
sonal amenities which all civilized per-
sons associate with the Christmas sea-
son.
1t appears quite evident that there
have been other influences operating in
the case of Mr.. Ekman to produce his
resignation besides a belief on the part
of Examiner Pope that the public bust
ness demanded his enforced absence
from family and personal friends during
the Christmas. If the public examiner
were as ready as Mr. Ekman has al
ways shown himself to be to cast aside
personal and other considerations in the
discharge of official duty, Mr. Ekman
would have remained in the department.
Examiner Pope may have found it adj
visable to dispense with the services
the peculiar way chosen to accomplish
his purpose, OF it may be that his per-
sonal peculiarities have operated to rem
der it disagreeable beyond endurance to
longer remain under his authority; but
whatever the operating influences were,
Mr.. Ekman can withdraw from the serv-
ice of the state fully conscious that his
ability and devotion in public office are
thoroughly appreciated by those Of his
fellow citizens of st. Paul who know his
personal, professional and official worth.
