Chairman Griggs.

From the Savannah News.
Reduced republican maiorities in
many of the congressional districts.
and a reduced repu blican maiority in
the house OF representatives, from Al
to Is or less, are excellent evidences
of the fact that the democratic party
made splendid fight against heavy
odds. And much of the credit for the
very excellent showing of the party
is due TO the Hon. James M. Griggs of
Georgia, representative of the second
district, in his capacity of chairman of
the democratic national congressional
committee.
From the time he became the head
of the committee, Judge Griggs sound
ed the only possible keynote for demo-
cratic success-that of tariff reform
campaign, which will be fought on the
lines Chairman Griggs laid down for
| the campaign that has just ended.
The agitation started under the aus
pices of the national congressional
committee will not lag because an
! election has just been held; it will
gather strength during the next two
years. and when the people go to the
polls again, the result may be quite
different. The vote last Tuesday in
dicates a drift of public sentiment
away from the high protection policy
of the republican party.
Chairman Griggs deserves and will
receive the gratitude OF democrats
everywhere for his vigorous and in
Uelligent direction of the congressional
campaign. He made q clean, aggres'
sive fight. He gave facts and figures to
show the people why the protective
principle OF the tariff is wrong and an
injustice to the masses. He showed
among other things that protection
enables the protected industries to
charge the people of this country
much higher prices tnan they charge
the people of Europe for the same
products.
| Every man, woman and child who
uses lead pencil-and who does not:
has in the pencil sn illustratfOR OF
power of the protected manufacturer
4 to squeeze the consumers through the
help of the tariff. AS Judge Griggs
pointed out the other day. American
pencils are sold in Europe for just
about half what is charged for them
in the United States. Pencils that cost
81 50 per gross here are sold to foreign
purchasers for 81
Nor is this an isolated instance of
the grinding of American consumers.
Judge GrigGs has pointed out num-
Der of similar cases. These things
| have sunk into the minds of the peO-
pie. and they will be heard from again.
And so will Judge Griggs. His grasp
of public affairs and his digniied and
aggressive conduct of campaign have
marked him as a man who has won
and will continue to occupy prom
inent place in the affairs of the coun-

THE MOLINEUX CASE.

The second trial in New York city OF
r bland B. MOlineux for the murder OF
Mrs. Kate j. Adams by poisoning has
closed, resulting in the acquittal OF
the accused. Thus ends the most
famous criminal case ev-r before an
American court of justice, and one
which has aroused universal Interest
ia every city, town and village
throughout the length and breath OF
the country.
Upon former trial MOlineux was
convicted and sentenced to die, but the
supreme court granted a new trial,
aud in the second battle the famous
prisoner came clear after the
Jury had been out, onlv thirteen min
utes.
The most eminent, counsel in the
country has been engaged in the case,
which has cost the STATE and the de-
tense the princely sum of $5OO,OoO to
conduct, and Assistant District Attor"
ney Osborne for the prosecution, and
Ex-Governor Black and Attorney Bar
tow S. Weeks for the Defense have
become known throughout the nation
because of the mastery manner in
which each side has fought the great
case.
The most touching incident in con-
nection with the affair is the dog. like,
unouesuouing devotion with which
General Molineux, the prisoners aged
father, has stayed, by his son. bank,
rupting himself in the successful eff
fort to save life so precious TO him.
The progress of the case has beeo
watched with eager interest by news
paper readers everywhere, and some
how public sympathy has been all
along with Molineux, the people as a
rule feeling the same relief and gratif
cation at the defendants acquittal and
discharge as did the three thousand
spectators in the court house who
cheered when the jury announced It's
verdict.
