on Exchange street at o'clock last
evening after long illness. When
the end came mebers OF the family

perate battle with death, rallying at
tlmes In a remarkable manner. About
three months ago he became worse.
and up to the time of his death failed
gradually. While his death was not
unexpected, news Of his passing cast
a gloom over the community, where
for almost 35 years he had ranked as
one Of the most prominent merchants,
eaioyIng the confidence and esteem OF
all. Mr.. Cohen was a native of New
York and 60 years Of age. He first
came to Astoria in the res and with
C. H. Cooper started the !. x. l. store
Later he opened the California store
and the Low-Price store, which ht
conducted until about five years ago
when he retired with competency

The Case Of Hoyt Hayes.

Is H - t . u 81 N.a A y
The case of Hoyt Hayes, who was con-
victed of murder in this county at the
November term of Court, and sentenced
by Judge Dantzler to be hanged, is now
before Governor Hayward, who, with
the Judge and Solicitor who tried the
case, will consider the request for COM
mutation of ,the sentence to life impris-
onment. There are In the Governors
hands two petitions, one asking for com
mutation of sentence, the other asking
that the original sentence stand. At the
July term of Court Q903), Judge Aldrich
presiding, Hayes was first tried, the jury
falling to agree and reporting s. ssimistrial.
Hayes was granted bail in the sum of
$4,000 and appeared for trial at the No
vember term, when he was convicted aud
sentenced to hang on the second Friday
In January. The case was then appealed
to the Supreme Court, which refused to
grant new trial, and he was resentenoed
by Judge Townsend, of the lower Court,
July term, 1904. The case has attracted
more attention and elicited greater In
terest probably than any case in the
Statefor quite q while. The time is very
short now and the final outcome of the
case will soon be known. Owing to the
fact that Hayes was convicted on purely
evidence, there is strong
feeling that the sentence of death should
not be carried out, while on the other
hand, the petition asking that Hayes be
executed is said to be numerously
signed. '4.N

pense of medicines and medical services.
damages to his vehicle and the loss of
his mule.
Mr.. and Mrs. r. o. Brock and three
children were crossing Cherry's bridge,
over Seneca river, in q buggy drawn by
two mules. The conveyance was stopped
for the purpose of allowing Mrs. Brock
to alight, when the. mules backed, out
ting the buggy and backing 1t against
the abutment railing, which gave way.
The mules, the conveyance and it's occu-
pants were thrown from the bridge to
the ground. Mrs. Brock sustained seri-
GUS injuries and one of the mules was
killed. The complaint alleges that the
railing was insecure, and that the acci-
: dent was due to negligence on the part
of the defendant, Oconee county, through
its servants, the public officials, and for
the mental anguish and physical suffer
ing of the plaintiffs, damages in the sum
of "a 500 are sought to be recovered by
the plaintiffs. The case will be watched
with interest by the people of Oconee.

with sufficient c1earness is found, if
we except that of autonomy which we
"a selves have proposed.
And because this plan is the Key
stone of economy it appleals as the
most important in our Judgment and
SO is regarded by the public which IS
now opening its eyes to the reality.
Senior Dfaz Navarro has been en-
gagged in the political arena who in an
published in LA Democra-
cia" has more fully signifed the ne
cessity of establishing different re-
gime from that now in vogue. He
has not been quite as explicit as we
could have wished. the word auto
nomy' being found now here, in the
account of the interview with this dis
public man; but the form
of government which he prefers, &C
cording to the expression given to his
tn ghts, is none other than autonomy.
But even beneath the statements
made by sefior Dfaz Navarro a certain
reserve is to be noted which in our
Judgment is not warranted in view of
the present political situation. Porto
Rico needs in truth not an autonomy
merely administrative, but a most
comprehensive, political autonomy, ina
plying complete and absolute recog-
ni.ion Of the personality of the country,
In every sense and particularly in the
political meaning of the word.
For the future and salvation of Porto
Rico there is no other remedy than
this kind of autonomy, joined with in
in all that relates to the
of the country and limited
by the American Government only in
relations.
To preach these doctrines. to put
them in the platform as ignpost indi-
eating clearly he direction to be taken
for this reason will the UnionistS
shortly be reunited1
Now is the time for political parties
to cease to De auXilliarjes and servants
mere aggregates of the Alministrat-
ion, and to adopt and present remedies
for all the difficulties that embitter
our lives.
Before the time of the elections the
different parties ought to announce
their platforms; it should be know
Why the political factions presume
to seek the votes of the people. By
that time will a political party be
formed which accepts autonomy as the
only form of government?
Will the Administration permit the
candidates Of such party TO take part
in the electoral contest7 Will they,
by p prlar favor, win the
votes and be triumphantly elected
Then. and this is now fully realized,
no time is to be wasted in aimlessly
cropping about in the dark. We are
aware of our needs end We seek to
purify the tainted air which causes
our infrmity, for under the present
restricted and obscure regime the
atmosphere is not renewed nor does
the light shine.
w can choose other men, but it is
not worth the while TO make the
change; in medium that is vitiated
and unhealthy men catch the contagion
ard perish.
A change of our public servants
without any other essential and radical
is not to our advantage
and is wi hout res Its. 1t is the regi-
me that is absurd and that must be
made truly democratic, and quickly
too, for it is crushing us, destroy
ing us.
