q narrow escape from being decapitat'

II seems that well known captain

young people of his home town. He Is

probably turnip greens, and the cap
tain no doubt enjoyed them, but about
forty young people proceeded to shout

him until be got his gun. Mature de-
Liberation convinced him that it would
not be advisable to massacre them, so
he swore out warrants for forty of
them, and over sixty others were sum.

BLAME 1T ON THE PAPERS. "
(Courier-J Journal.

The politicians suspected Of partici'
patton in corrupt or other illegal prac-
tices are pretty unanimous in laying
the blame on the newspapers. They
find that the publicity given to their
acts is at times exceedingly unpless-
ant. When they do anything that
they think praiseworthy- they are care.
full that the news is"norated around, -
bat it is quite otherwise when there
is suspicion of improper conduct
The newspapers are not faultless,
but they are held to severe responsi.
bility. 1t is only occasionally that
charges Of corruption against public
men originate with them. They sim
ply give publicity to what others have
discovered. or believe that they have
discovered. It is usually when this
publicity becomes very damaging that
complaint is made of the newspapers,
although their columns are generally
open to inculpated persons to make
any defense which they may have.
But when they happen to have no de-
tense ut all they feel all the more in
dignent against the papers that have
made their doings known.
The libel bill passed by the Pennsyl-
vania legislature and now IN the hands
of Governor Fennypacker had its ori-
gin in the Inconvenience experienced
by the inscriptions politicians Of the
state in consequence Of newspaper ex.
posures of their corrupt practices and
schemes to rob the people. There is
no doubt about this. The libel law
Of the state AFFORDS ample protection
against false and defaEiatory publica-
tions. The boodlers wanted law to
protect them against the mental suffer.
ing produced by publications made in
the interests of the people.
The freedom Of the press is essential
to the freedom of the people. Abuse
of this liberty is amply provided
against, and indeed nearly all OF our
libel laws give the advantage to the
plaintiffs. The RIGHTEOUSNESS Of I'M
principled publications is not defend
ed by any reputable newspaper. But
the press is practically united, and the
people should be. against such at
tempts to muzzle the newspapers as
that made in Pennsylvania.

Some idea of the extremity to which
the Democratic prosecutors of Repub.
licans charged with completely in tho
killing of Senator Goebel will go, may
be found in the reports of how letters
sent from Caleb Powers to his attor-
neys were intercepted somewhere, and
doubtless turned over to the prosecu-
tion in order that the latter may learn
the prisoners line of defense. Such
vultrres and vampires will be hard tc
beat, for honest, upright men do moi
stoop to such methods.

The Democratic press Of Kentucky
is not satisfied with prevaricatirg
about Democracy's affairs, but is now
extending its mendacity to Republican
affairs in the state, and detailing the

The manufacturers of America are
largely fer the Republican party, and
the laboring men, hundreds Of thous-
ands of whom are dependent on these
man ufacturers for work, are likewise
for the Republican party. because the
Republican party protects the Ameri-
can workingman from European COM
petition, and thus affords the Ameri-
eau workman more work at better
wages than If European labor were al
lowed to come in and compete with
the product of American labor. What
few labor unions and laboring men
that have not always beeu for the Re-
publican party are now rapidly going
over to it. This is evidenced especially
in the east, where most Of the manu-
facturers and laborers reside. Senator
Hanna's good work as a member of the
Civic federation is accomplishin q
great deal, and the Democrats are be-
coming alarmed at the rapidity with
which the workingmen are rallying to
the Republican banner. The prospects
are that the Republican party, with
President Roosevelt as q standard bear
er. will nave the biggest victory in the
history Of the country at the next cleo

Whatever may be the verdict in the
jim Howard case, or whatever may be
the effect of Henry Youtsey's testimo-
nv in it, IL is clear that Youtsey by
his evidence has made friends with the
prosecutors, which was his main mo-
tive, and probably when they get
through with him, and have used him
in their dirty work as far as they de-
sire, they will betoken their apprecia
tion by releasing him. 1t may not be
in q year, or in ten years. but most
anytime would doubtless be more ac'
ceptable than spending the remainder
of his days in the penitentisry.

SPURIOUS ANTIQUES.
Big Trade in False Relics of His
 toric Value and Interest.
Articles of Furniture and Pottery Manufactured So ms to Look Time-Worn to Catch tue
 Customers.

ssThe latest thing in antiques" is the way witty dealer describes to his friends some of the tricks of his business. If you don't come to him to buy, simply to talk soviably, he will confess that there is an enormous trade in imitation antiquities. Silver, furniture, pottery, and other things that folks buy because of their age are exported to America in great. quantities by experts who make clever limitations, and each species of "an- tique'' is credited as being the prod- uct of some particular country or city. Holland, for instance, is the headquarters for 'old silver,,, while Paris sends out most of the imitation ancient pottery, says the New York Times.
 After securing sample pieces of real old silver as models, the Dutch imitators make molds and then turn out the copies by thousands. Having manufactured the limitations, they subject them to chemical preparations to make them look time-worn. The science of "antiquitizing" has be- come so exact that new pieces are made to have the appearance of having . been dug up from the earth after hid ing from the light for centuries. Hol- land, although the leader in the art, is not the only place where it is prac- ticed, and a dealer of this city is au- thority for the statement that the United States, France and Germany contain numerous establishments where the trade fourishes.
 Those who initiate pottery and marble are even more successful than the silver holders, and the basic theory of the business is to manu- fracture the pieces and then bury them in the ground, allowing them to re- main there two or three years. When the resurrection takes place the ap- pearance of the antique is such that the uninitated purchaser-to-be readily believes the salesman who points to it and says: Here, madam, is an old piece of marble that came from the ruins of Pompeii; it's price has been reduced to $soo." The king of the imitation pottery trade in Paris is man named Sampson, of whom it has been said that he produces wares more ancient than the Biblical man with similarly sounding name. His goods go to all countries and are dealt out for very high prices.
 Of all the imitation industries the most flourishing is the antique fur niture'' trade. The dealers say there l is greater demand for old furniture than for anything else they sell. Tn

shot into it to give it a worm-eaten appearance" This having been done. the sixteenth century chair is com plete and ready for use or ornament. Sometimes, it is explained, the maker uses an awl instead of shot for pep pering the piece of furniture with ''worm-holes,'' and this method has the advantage of leaving less proofs of deception than the small shot.
 .'It doesn't take long for shop to fill up with real genuine antiques in New York;" explains the dealer. sWhy, I know a man who quit the butchering business to become one of us. He hasn't been at it long, but already his place is filled with everything from roll of papyrus that was used by Ra- meses the Second to suit of armor pierced by the sword of Richard Plan tagenet."
 This same dealer will point out in his own shop (to anybody who will not tell) a clever imitation of Wedg- wood that any one but an expert read fly would believe to have been fash toned by Josiah Wedgwood himself. When asked whether buyers often dis cover that they have been deceived and return to demand reimbursement, the dealer replies:
 "The more they get soaked the more they come back to buy. But they rarely wake up, most often con- tinuing to think until their dying day that they are looking into mirror which once reflected the face of Queen Elizabeth or sitting in a chair wherein sat Mime. de Maintenon to receive King Louis XIV"
 A walk through the antique" dis trict will show many real articles, of course, but every real one is likely to have its imitation counterpart some where about. As interesting as any deception one sees is an elaborate suit of armor, the owner of which, in de- scribing its attractions, points to cer- tain indentures and declares that they are ancient sword prints.
