THE MOLINEUX CASE.

1t is expected that the case of Ro-
land b. MolineuX will be called for
trial again on Monday next. Molineux,
it will be recalled, is charged with the
murder of a woman named Adams. The
murder occurred in New York about
three years ago. Poison was sent to
person living in the woman's house and
was administered to her by mistake.
Molineux was tried and convicted about
two years ago and obtained a new
trial.
There will never again be as much
interest in the case as there was on
the first trial. The crime was the sub
ject of talk in every part of the coun-
try not only on account of the proml-
hence of the defendants father, but
also on account of the peculiar circum..
stances connected with it. The trial
was the sensation in New York city
for months, and there was great differ
ence of opinion as to whether or not
the evidence sustained the verdict.
There was certainly room for doubt as
to MolineuX's guilt. Assistant District
Attorney Osborne, who had charge of
the case on the first trial, will have
charge of it again. In an interview the
other day he said that he did not be-
lieve he could obtain another verdict
of guilty on account of the difficulty %
getting testimony. Many of the most
important of the states witnesses, he
says, have disappeared. The most inn
portant one of all of them, Molineux's
housekeeper, has dropped completely
out of sight. The district attorney says
he does not know where to look for
her. She was an unwilling witness on
the first trial. She was a res
ident of Newark, N. j., and
there is no law by which
citizens of New Jersey can be
compelled to appear in a New
York court and testify. She
was lured to New York and held there
until she gave her testimony in court
on the first trial.
All the indications are that the sec
end trial of the famous case will be a
! tame affair, and that it will result in
an acquittal. Gen. Molineux, the ia
Their of the accused man, said in an in.
terview the other day, that he had dis
covered new and startling evidence of
the innocence of his son. In that event
the trial may be only a mere form for
| bringing about the release of the de-
! fendant.

SENATOR HARRIS SHOES.

Senator Harris of Kansas has just
returned home from trip to Europe,
where he went in the interest of the
Louisiana Purchase Exposition. While
on the other side. however, he did rot
lose sight of American politics, but kept
his eyes and his ears open for any
knowledge that would be of interest in
the current campaign. Indeed, he made
it his business to inquire especially
with regard to the prices in Europe of
articles manufactured in America by
tariff protected industries. He was
particular, he says, to ask what Eng
lishmen paid for American made farm
machinery and implements, and he
found that pitchforks, shovels, hatch
cts, hoes and the like, were sold for
very much less in the British market
than the prices charged for the same
articles, by the same manufacturers,
in Kansas City.
Senator Harris is to go on the stump
in the West for the Democratic con-
gressional tickets shortly, and he will
take with him an object lesson in the
operations of the tariff in the shape
of a pair of shoes. The shoes were
made in the United States and pur-
chased by Senator Harris in England
at a price which he asserts is 20 per
cent. less than the same pair of shoes
would have cost him if they had been
purchased in the United States. The
Senator will wear these shoes on his
stumping tour and exhibit them, with
receipted bill showing their cost on
the other side and a price list show
ing what the same make of shoes cost
when purchased in this country. The
tariff lays tax of 35 per cent. ad va
loren on shoes, under which favorit-
ism, the Senator says, the articles are
sold in England cheaper than in the
United States, notwithstanding the ne
cessity of paying freight on them over
distance of 5000 miles. Senator Har-
ris asserts, Furthermore, that Ameri-
can manufacturers are not selling
merely their surplus stock in Eu-
rope, but that they are selling their
products regularly abroad at "a fair
profit, and at tremendous profit at
home"

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Washington Post Qnd.) says:
No man is greater than his party,
declared Tom L. Johnson to a Cincin-
natl audience the other evening. Per-
haps not, but Tom has succeeded in
demonstrating that man can make
himself much more ridiculous than the
political organization which is COM
PEELED to stand for him. Therefore we
fully expect the Ohio Democracy to re-
cover from Tom Johnsonism'
The Galveston News (Dem.) says:
THE Republicans of the South have
eliminated the negro as a factor in
politics. Why? Various reasons have
led to the change. One main reason
is that to keep the negro in politics and
to use him successfully, he must be
given something. 1t has come to that
in many places. AS there are not
enough good places for the whites. of
course there is nothing left to appease
the blacks. The fewer Republicans
there are in politics in the Southern
states, the easier it is for the faithful
to get postoffices. They do not want
more than enough to man the machine
and keep the organization alive There
are not enough good things for the ne
groes to have any shake at the plums.
The state and local offices cannot be
is no longer needed
That part of the New York Demo-
cratic platform which advocates the
national ownership and operation of
the anthracite coal mines does not
seem to meet with very general ap-
prevail. The New York World Dem)
says that it is an inconsiderate and
hasty utterance, rejecting the Just
public indignation at the national me-
mace of a coal famine. The crisis.
though acute and alarming at the mo-
ment, must be a transitory one, and
does not warrant the invocation of so
radical and revolutionary a remedy as
state socialism," The PHILADELPHIA
Ledger Ind) says the demand lis an
obvious appeal to a temporary senti-
ment that probably will not be dwelt
upon in the campaign Considering
the platform as a whole, however, the
New York Times (Dem.) says: Turn
ing from the candidate to the plat
form, Democrats who wish we'll TO
their party and desire it's restoration
to power will find cause for satisfac-
ton. 1t is a very long platforln-we
do not remember ever to have seen a
longer. There are things in it that
might have been omitted without detri-
ment to the party cause. But on the
other hand, there are many distinct
aod positive announcements that de-
serve the approval of all sensible men
of independent minds, pronouncements
that will strengthen the party and in
crease the public confidence in its pur-
poses and In it's wisdom"

The new bill collector, full of zeal
and anxious TO make a record, inquir-
ed in business-like way of the man
at the desk:
''Is this Mr.. Pogmans?"
Yes" was the reply.
The collector slapped bill down on
the desk in front of him, says the Chi
cago Tribune.

he asked, ito settle that little account

you won't? Then, my friend, I'll

No, sir. 1 never saw it before"

The Fuel Was Hasty.

4 notice" said Mr.. Crimson. thought
fully. according to the Cleveland Plain
Dealer. that the Navy Department
is experimenting with the use of coal
oil as a fuel tor the warships."
Yes" said Mrs Crimson. and it's
bad stuff to fuel With mean to fool
with. isn't it?"
1t is" said Mr.. Crimson. land
only hope that the warships will have
better luck than our cookstove had
when you were away"
This is new to me-" said Mrs. Grim
son.
Yes" said Mr. Crimson. And it's
news that really cannot be kept any
longer. I wanted some hot water one
morning, and started up a fire in the
coOkstoYe. 1t was slow and 1 brought
up the oil can. \ moment OF two later
I learned that while coal oil may be
considered a good fuel, it is a little
hasty. When / crawled out from be-
meath the sink and got the SCOT out
OF my eyes, and picked the fragments
of friedrich from the depths of my
whiskers l looked for the stove All
that was left of it was four legs and
a damper. Most of the rest had gone
through the kitchen door and the pan
try window. When 1 got out in the
yard l found that the entire top of
the late kitchen treasure had gone
through the back fence and knocked
down our neighbor's COW who was
peacefully grazing in the rear lot
Don't you remember you said that the
milk tasted of iron, and Willie added
that it smelled of benzine? 1 got the
cow up as quick as l could and hand
ed her back her cud and then 1 flung
the stove top into our yard. But L
was a good deal worried when 1 no.
ticed that the hot iron had struck the
COW with so much force that it brand
ed her on the side with the name of
the blamed 'Resolute, No. g.
1 smoothed her hair down the best
way l could over the trademark and
hoped it would pass unnoticed-and
guess it did. Then 1 nailed up the
board in the fence and went back like
what-you- call-him at Carthage and sat
among the ruins with a face as long
as fiddle. That afternoon 1 had four
expert stove repairers at work, and
promptly got things back into their
original shape. But it was awful while
it lasted. and I've a great mind to sit
right down and tell Secretary what
you-call-him of the Navy Department
that oil as fuel is inclined to be i'm
pulsive and altogether lacking in dig
nifty"

THE PANAMA CANAL COMPANY's
TITLE


According to the report which Will
liam Nelson Cromwell brings from
Paris the title of the New Panama
Canal Company to the Panama Canal
property is perfect, and there
is nothing whatever to prevent that
company from giving the government
of the United States A perfect title
TO it. 1t must not be overlooked, how
ever. that Mr.. Cromwell is the coun-
sci for the new company. If there
were a flaw anywhere in the title il
is hardly probable that he would hasten
to point it out. He would let the at
torneys for the United States find it.
1t looks. however. from what Mr..
Cromwell says as If the New Panama
Canal Company could give good title
to the property. He says that he has
submitted the evidences of the title to
the very best lawyers in France, and
that, without exception, they have pro-
nounced them complete. He also calls
attention to a case that has been tried
and adjudicated in the courts of France
since the question of selling the canal
to the United States came up. A bond
holder of the Old Panama Canal Com
pany sued the New Panama Canal
Company for the purpose of having
certain questions settled in connection
with the liquidation of the old COM
pany. This suit involved the title to
the property, and the court held that
the title of the new company to the
canal and all the rights pertaining to
it was without a flaw.
No doubt the attorneys for the Unit
ed States will soon have their report
ready. AS far as known now it will
not differ from the statement made
by Mr.. Cromwell. 1t would be inter
esting to know. however, what it was
that made it necessary for Attorney
General Knox to go to Paris. There
must have been hitch of some sort
in connection with the title. In view
of the fact that no mention of the cause
of his visit has ever been made, it
may be that the question which made
his presence at the French capital
necessary was satisfactorily adjusted.
Assuming that what Mr.. Cromwell
says in regard to the title is correct
it only remains to get satisfactory
concessions from Colombia. When that
is done the terms of the Spooner
amendment will be complied with, and
it is probable that the United States
will then pay the purchase price of
the canal-$40, 000 000-to the New Pan
anna Canal Company and take the prop
erty. 1t is not improbable that in the
course of another year the United
States will be in possession of the ca
nal and actively at work upon 1t.

THE COAL STRIKE CONFERENCE.

THE COAL STRIKE CONFERENCE.
The outcome of the conference called
/ by the President for the purpose of
finding a way to settle the coal strike
was, as far as now known. a great dis
| appointment to him. He had high
hopes of getting the coal operators and
| the representatives of the strikers to
agree TO an adjustment Of their differ
| ences. He thought if they came to-
gether in the right spirit each might
| make concessions, and thus settle
ment might be reached.
The President is entitled to the
/ thanks of the country for his efforts in
the matter. OF his sincerity there is
no doubt. There is no ground for
thinking that he was influenced by
selfish motives. There is nothing to
justify the suspicion that he hoped
| to increase his own popularity or that
Of his party with the toiling masses.
He saw that the winter season was
rapidly approaching and that there
would be great suffering in the cities
dependent upon anthracite coal for fuel.
Not only that, but he saw that the
rise in the price of fuel meant a rise
in the price of bread, the Bakers As
ISOLATION of New York having already
considered the question of increasing
the price Of bread.
1t is probable however, that the
Presidents action has delayed rather
than fastened a settlement of the
strike. The operators doubtless feel
that he meddled in a matter in which
he had no concern. and therefore they
will be disposed to hold firmly to the
position they have taken. and the
strikers, If they were inclined to call
off the strike, will feel encouraged to
hold on a while longer, hoping that
the pressure on the operators will force
them to make concessions.
There is no doubt that the sympathy
of the country is with the strikers
rather than operators, for the reason
that the strikers have all along ex-
pressed a willingness to arbitrate the
issues they have raised, while the OPP
orators have refused to consider the
not looking into the merits of the issues
between the operators and the strikers.
1t simply sees that one party is willing
to arbitrate and the other is not. Be
sides. it does not care much about the
merits of the issues. 1t does not as
Mr.. Hewitt says, want to discuss the
matter at all. 1t wants coal and wants
it right away.
There is a possibility of course that
the operators, seeing the attitude of
the administration-that is, that the
administration is anxious that the de-
mand for coal shall be supplied-will
take steps to come to an understand
ing with the strikers. They may Of
fer concessions or express a willing
ness to arbitrate the issues the strik-
ers have raised.
OF course both the strikers and the
operators knew before they attended
the conference that the President had
no plan for bringing The strike to an
end-that all he expected TO accom-
plish was to get the strikers and the
operators together with the hope that
each side would make proposition,
and that in that way basis of a set
Element would be reached. There will
be general regret that the effort of the
President failed.

If there is one city above another in
which labor is a stickler for its
rights, that city is Chicago. There is
at present a strike of the Bridge and
Structural Iron Workers Union in Chi
cago, involving the stoppage of work
on 100000 worth of buildings; and
capital has nothing whatever to do
with the matter. The fight is between
union carpenters on one side and un-
ion iron workers on the other, over the
erection of 5000 travelling crane at
the new Rock Island depot. The crane
is to be used for hosting iron beams,
therefore the iron men say it is their
right to set it up. But the crane is to
be made of wood. and must be framed
by carpenters, therefore the carpenters
say it is their work. Neither side will
give in, holding out as a matter of
principle" and the strike continues as
a consequence.
