A BEIATED CROP.
(From the Brooklyn Eagle

Some diseases are incurable. Mr. Bryan
will never recover from his attack Of
free silver. He is pointing out that the
financial stringoncy is the result of the
defeat of bi-metallism; also that events
have indicated the democratic plat
form in 1896

OF the same opinion still. Some attribute
the stringency to boarding, some to in
elasticity, some to the buccaneers OF
banking and some to the President.
Others nail their flag to none of these
masts.
AS it seems to be likely that MIR. Bryan
viii insist upon reafirmation as a condi-
tlon precedent to his nomnation-he did
that at Kansas City-it is in order to ask
him to explain why the defeat of bimet-
allism was not followed by immediate
stringency
The lapse Of time is long. 1t is more
than eleven years since free coinage re-
ceived It's first thrust in the vitals. 1t is
more than seven years since the crconc

The people are not enemies of rail-

HAYWOOD IS ACQUITTED.

William d. Haywood, secretary
and treasurer of the Western Fed
Grafton of Miners, has been acquit-
ted of the charge of the completely
In the murder of Gov. Stuenenberg
of Idaho. In this celebrated case
full justice has bee2 done. The of.
ficers of the Federation were
bounded by detectives in the en-
ployment of the mine owners, not
because they desired to benefit So
ciety but because they desired to
destroy the labor organization and
advance their own selfish interests.
The evidence in the case, outside
of that OF Orchard, the confessed
murderer, did not remotely connect
the officers of the Federation with
the crime and how an intelligent
prosecutor could rely on such a
flimsy showing for conviction sur
passes understanding.
There is no doubt that during
the troubles between the miners
and mine owners in Colorado and,
Idaho, many deeds of violence were
done by both sides but the evil
dence in this case does not connect
the officers of the Federation with
it. The murder of Stuenenberg
was committed by Orchard on &C.
count of deep seated, fendish ha-
tired of the man. When he was
caught he turned states evidence,
aided and abetted by a gang of
unprincipled detectives in the en-
ployment of mine owners who de-
sired to destroy the miners organ
ization, but the scheme fell fiat.
Meyer and Pettibone, the other
officers of the Federation are still in
Jail and will be prosecuted, accord
ing to statements given out by the
prosecuting authorities since Hay
woods acquittal, and another ap-
peal to prejudice is to be made.
We cannot conceive that any
jury in any state would stoop so
low as to deprive man of his life
or liberty on the unsupported testi-
mony of such savage as Orchard.
Rather than to pursue Meyer and
Pettibone the state of Idaho should
either hang Orchard or isolate him
for all time from society and i'm

years a few of the detectives who
connived at the arrest of these in

The Estates rights bug-a-boo
seems to be frightening some of the
politicians and they are working
up prejudice by likening the Mis-.
souri, and Carolina controversies
unto the old secession theory. That
sort of a contention is purely po-
litical clap trap. The states are
merely making an honest and sim
cere effort to compel public corpo-
rations to be decent in dealing with
the people. The legislation has
not the remotest bearing on the
general government nor on other
states and there is no reason why
the federal courts should annull the
actions of the state courts.
