THE MACHEN CASE,

The Mochen post office robbery case
is being argued before the Appellate
Court of the city of Washington. 1t is
rather hard on Machen that his case.
like so many other important matters,
could not have been put off until after
the election. But it was the convic-
tiOn of Machen which caused the Pres.
ident to jump up and clap bis hands,
Machen unfortunately was put in
office by Cleveland, and notwithstand-
ing he deserted the Democratic party
all right he has the faint of Democra-
cy about him, and thus has lost favor
with Roosevelt. Poor Machen, he
who was once so powerful now has
none to do him reverence.
Machen's attorneys are arguing that
his Indictment is not sufficient, but it
is the general opinion that it will hold
him for while, then the penitentiary
will take the job off its hands.

NOT MUCH REAL BETTING YET.

1t may be as well to say word about
the political betting in New York
about which there is so much newspa-
per talk. There has been very little
genuine betting on the general result
of the election.
The New York World, after making
an investigation, expresses its belief
that not more than $25, 900 has been
wagered in that city since the Presi-
Dental nominations were made. The
Evening Post places the amount at not
to exceed $4,000. The Republican
National Committee, in conjunction
with certain Wall Street sharks, is be
lieved to have conceived the scheme OF
fake betting, at big odds on Roosevelt,
hoping to create an impression which
would be of great help to the COM
mittee in it's attempt to carry the couu-
try. There is nothing in the political
situation to warrant large odds ON
either candidate.
In 1888. the final betting was strong
lv in Cleveland's favor, yet Harrison
won the election. In 1892 Harrison
started out in the lead, and was neck
to neck with Cleveland when betting
ceased. David Martin and John Ia
Hill, representing the Republican Ma
tional Committee, tried to keep up the
Harrison bluff to the last, pretending
to offer $10,0 900 ON the Republican can
didate at midnight of the 9TH Of NO
vember, few hours before the polls
were to be opened. 1t is impossible to
predict at this time what may happen
between now and November tending
to improve or weaken the Democratic
prospect, but friends of the Democrat
ic ticket should not allow themselves
to be influenced by fake betting or by
extravagant claims put forth either III
Wall Street or by the Republican man
ayers.

ANY one who has been in the Wes-
tern States as we have can feel in the
atmosphere the wonderful influence
of VIM. J. Bryan 1t is certain that
in Missouri nearly every Democratic
farmer is Bryan man, and largely SO
in Indiana. Many of these were ca.-
lous and Indifferent before Mr.. Bryan
began his tour, now they are openly
avowed for Parker, and the State of
Missouri is almost certain to give the
largest Democratic majority in years;
but Indiana, if not Democratic, Will
be so doubtful, that only the count
will tell the result.

A VALUABLE NEW Spring.
Don't Fail To Try IT,
The Kayser Lithia
Springs Water.

This water is more decided in Lithi
than the Virginia Waukesha Lithia
Springs water and possesses a cOmbina-
ton OF medical constituents which rend-
ers it highly eficacious in many diseases,
and may be just the water you need.
The Virginia Waukesha Lithia Springs
water needs no special mention as to its
wide range of applications as it has built
up its reputation on quick and remarka-
bic cures as shown by the testimonials of
those who have tried it. and know of its
health-giving powers. Your order for
either of the above waters will receive

On the first page of to days Specta-
tor we publish the interesting details
of a tragedy that occurred in Onanda-
ga county, New York, many years
ago, and which in its shocking circum-
stance seems to much resemble the
celebrated McCue case now being tried
in Charlottesville. The two tragedies
are apparently so alike that the publ
cation of the Onaudaga horror seems
especially timely.

The betting heretofore has been
against Judge Parker, but things are
changing. West Virginia is almost
sure to go Democratic, both on State
and national issues. Connecticut, In
diana and New Jersey are almost adj
mitedly going that way, and these
with New York would give Parker and
Davis electoral votes to spare, Demo
cratic chances therefore look bright.

If Judge Parker can carry New
York there seems to be no doubt about
his election. He will carry enough
doubtful states outside to do the work
and in the West he will owe bis sue
