THE MAVERICK CASE.

1t may be said that within a few
days the Mrs. Maybrick case will be
cut of print. 1t has been "a serial in
the newspapers for the last fifteen
years. on the s0th of this month Mrs
MAVERICK will be released from custody,
and It is said. will come to this coun-
try for the purpose of being a witness
in a land case in which she is inter-
ested. ..
Mrs. Maybrick means to set about
the work at once of showing that she
is innocent of the crime for which she
was convicted. and for which she has
suffered so long. II Is said that she
has the necessary evidence. as
It will be recalled that she was con-
victed of poisoning her husband with
arsenic. She will undertake to show
that he was not poisoned at all-that
his death was due TO another cause
than arsenical poisoning, Even at the
time of her conviction. there was
among able lawyers a belief that there
was reasonable doubt as to whether
her husband died from poison.
OF course Mrs. Maybrick wants vim
dication. and also cash. She is going
TO ask King Edward for a free pardon
on the evidence she has. and also COM
pensation for the suffering she has en-
dured-unjustly endured. as she claims.
She hopes TO be compensated at the
rate of $1,000 a year for each year she
was in prison. The payment OF so
large sum would be deemed a sufii-
cient excuse. perhaps. for the govern
ment to admonish the judges of the
criminal courts TO be more careful in
the administration Of the law.
The Maybrick case will long be a
celebrated one-not because 1t settled
any principles or disputed points Of
law. but because Of the persistency with
which the defendant asserted her inno-
oence and the efforts which were made
for her release.

GETTING INTO LINE ron pARKER.

When it was announced on Monday
that the Pennsylvania delegation would
cast it's vote for Judge Parker there
was no longer any doubt in the minds
Of the astute observers of the political
situation at ST. Louis that he would
be the Democratic nominee for Presi-
dent. The effect of the action of that
delegation was seen in the course
adopted by Tammany. If the Tam
manyites had thought there was a
probability of preventing the nomina-
ton of Judge Parker they would not
have halted in their opposition to him.
On the contrary, they would have re-
doubled their efforts to accomplish his
defeat.
a further effect of the Pennsylvania
delegations decision was seen in the
action of the National Committee in
the case of the Illinois contest. OF
course we do not mean TO say that the
committee didn't act in accordance
with its judgment. but it does seem as
If it came to the conclusion that II
would be useless to go into a long in
vestigation of the case when the out
look was that no matter how the case
was decided, the decision wouldn't af-
feet the action of the convention in the
matter of the ticket and the platform.
Of course the action of the National
Committee in favor of the Hopkins
delegations isn't final. but doubtless
hn l.. l.
inclined to follow the decision of the
National Committee. While it is true
that the Hopkins delegation is in
structed for Mr.. Hearst, ii is doubtful
If Il will give him more than a com
plimentary vote. The majority >of the
delegation is opposed to Mr.. Hearst
and favors Judge Parker. On the sec
ond ballot, therefore, if not on the first,
the delegates from Illinois will doubt
less be found voting for Judge Parker.
There doesn't seem to be any doubt
now that Judge Parker will be the
nominee. Everything points that way.
The opposition to him has not been
able to find a candidate on which it
can unite. There are plenty of Cleve-
land men among the delegates, but it
isn't believed he could get two-thirds
of the delegates. Mayor Mcclellan
appeals strongly to many, but there is
a doubt as to whether or not he is eli
gible, having been born in a foreign
country. Besides, there are some 9TH
err arguments against him that can
not be easily answered. Gray, Cor
man and Olney have followers, but not
enough to make either a formidable
candidate. Judge Parker is the only
candidate who has thoroughly or
ganized following, and all the indica-
lions are that when the convention gets
ready to make a ticket he will be
quickly nominated.

CURRENT COMMENT

The New York World Dem.) saws.
1T will be good beginning of the St.
Louis Convention to have Congress
man John Sharp Williams make the
opening speech. There is no Democrat
IN the country better equipped than he
to answer Elihu Roots strong speech
at Chicago"
The Chattanooga Times (Dem.) says:
1T is one of Mr.. Roosevelt's weak
nesses that he is impulsively short
sighted, which combined with his ma
tive obstinacy and positiveness make
him rather a dangerous man to head
the affairs of a great republic. A bit
of Grover Cleveland's nerve and long
headedness exhibited in this Colorado
reign of terror would have been a pos
tive help TO the President at this
time"
The Birmingham News (Dem. } DE
lieves that the Democracy is going TO
take advantage Of the situation. II
believes that the indictments and the
small tin-horn politicians are going
TO be swept aside by the whirl-wind of
sound and sane Democracy and that
such ticket will be named and such a
platform adopted as win command the
support of the conservative and
thoughtful voter everywhere and in
sure a return to rule by the people"
The Mobile Register (Dem) says: IF
the Democrats nominate a conservative
leader and adopt a conservative plat
form they should win in this campaign.
No need to make any great ado over the
Crumpacker plank in the Republican
platform. That plank speaks for it,
self. II condemns itself. Let the
Democratic platform speak clearly as
to national issues, and offer to the
country a sound and progressive adj
ministration. the execution Of the laws.

THE FINANCIAL PLANK.

It is expected that more difficulty
will be experienced in sharing the
financial plank of the Democratic plat
form than any other. Among the dele
gates there is a great difference of
opinion as to what position the party
should take on. the money question.
Some Of them want an out and out
declaration in favor of the gold stand
ard, while others, led by Mr.. Bryan,
want the money plank of the Kansas
City platform reaffirmed. Indeed, there
is promise Of lively discussion in
respect to the money plank both in the
Committee on Resolutions and in the
convention. When Mr.. Bryan. on his
arrival in st. Louis on Monday, was
told that there was a movement to
have a gold standard declaration put
in the platform. he said his informant
must be Joking.
There is no doubt that the conven-
ton would much more quickly adopt
a gold standard declaration than one
in favor of bimetalism. On the money
question revolution has taken place
in the views of the party since 1896.
The consensus of opinion among the
leaders at st. Louis seems to be that
a financial plank something like that
which was adopted by the recent state
convention of Mississippi would come
nearer giving satisfaction than any
other that has been proposed. A draft
of financial plank that is being cir
culated among the delegates for their
opinion of it is as follows:
"The country is to be congratulated
upon the vindcation of the Democratic
contention for an increased volume of
real ana metallic money, in a manner
acceptable to all Democrats by the
addition to the worlds stock of money
metals of two thousand millions in
gold within the last eight years, from
which the United States has been able
TO obtain seven hundred millions, there
by doubling the stock of standard
money, raising the per capita circula-
ton from $29 to $50 and contributing
TO that advent of industrial activity
which could not have otherwise been
obtained and proportionate increase
III the worlds stock of silver. The
fact that this result has been reach
ed by no action of government, but by
the act of God, through human in
strumentallties of discovery and in
Vention, does not lessen our gratitude. ="
1t Will be noticed that this is sub
stantially the Mississippi plank, which
was drawn by John Sharp Williams.
In fact it is the understanding that
he is the author of the foregoing. 1t
will be noticed that it contains no
reference to silver or bimetalism, but
at the same time silver men ought
to have no difficulty in approving it.
No doubt the extremists on either
side of the money question will en-
deavor to have their views adopted,
but the conservatives will have
majority sufficiently large to keep the
PARTY clear of the pitfalls into which
the radicals would drag it in their
efforts to have the convention follow
their lead.

THE POPULIsT TICKET AND PLAT
FORM

1t is doubtful if the Populists will
hold another national convention. The
convention that adjourned at Spring.
field, ILL.,, last night was a small one,
and there was not much of display of
enthusiasm The members. seemed to
feel that their party had seen its best
days, and that there was no demand
for 1t. There is no reason to think
that it will be much of factor in the
presidential campaign. 1t will of
course poll votes in about all of the
states, though only about half of the
states were represented in the conven-
ton.
Mr.. Thomas f. Watson, of Georgia.
the candidate for President, is one of
the best known men in the country.
OF his ability there is no question. He
made his influence felt when he was a
member of the House of Representa-
tives, and since he retired from Con-
gress he has gained high place in the
literary world as a writer of history.
Mr. Thomas II. Tribbles, the nomi-
known in Nebraska, but his fame has
not got beyond the borders of that
state. And it is not probable that
there will be many inquiries about him
since no one expects the ticket to poll
a large vote in any state.
The demands of the platform are
much the same as those which have
been heretofore made in Populist plat
forms. They do not therefore call for
extended comment. 1t is sufficient to
say that they have never had the ap-
prevail of the people, and the support
they will get this year is likely to be
less than ever before. 1t seems quite
safe to predict that Mr. Watson is the
last candidate for President the Pop
ulist party will ever nominate.

Common sense and humanity have
just won notable victory in Philadel-
phia over blue-nosed Puritanism. Some
of the holier-thaD-thou reformers were
shocked because ice was sold on Sun
day. They hunted up an old law pro-
hibiting the sale of commodities on
Sunday, and set about stopping the
sale and delivery of ice, in the midst
Of sizzling hot weather. They said
there was no reason why people should
not buy ice enough on Saturday to last
them over Sunday, and one of them
described how easy it was to keep ice
by wrapping it in a blanket and bury
ing it in dry sand; which must have
been very useful information to the
tenement and fiat dwellers in the great
city. As a consequence of the blue
law enforcement there was, on Sun
day before last, great amount of
suffering among the poor, and several
babies are alleged to have died from
the heat whose lives might have been
saved had ice been available. The Pu-
ritans had their way for just one Sun
day. when the public protests of in
dignation became so strong that they
could not be disregarded, so last Sun
day the foolish and wicked restriction
was removed and the poor were per-
mitted to have their little chunks of ice
as usual The queer part of the whole
thing is that the Puritans were work.
