It has always been the rule in the democratic party that all who are candidates, or who treir friends de- sire to be nominated, shall have a fair field and no favors asked or ex- pected. That this good old demo- cratic plan may not be rescinded, MT Watterson, who is said to have a dark horse. should name him and give his pedigree and past perform ances. But as he does not seem will ling to do this we may be permitted to guess that Judge Harmon of Ohio is the man that Marse Henry has in mind, and for the life of us we can not think why there should be any mystery in proposing him as one who is worthy of consideration, says an exchange. He certainly measures up to the democratic requirement Of ability and honesty and supported Mir Bryan in 1896 and 1900 aud has never had entangling alliances with the trusts of the money power. Whether he can defeat MT Bryan for the nomination is another question, or whether he would unite the fac tions in the party better than NIT Bryan can is the question that must be considered and decided before he or anyone else will be nominated.

 Texas affords another interesting railroad precedent. The Texas Gen. tfal announces that it has bought it's own sleeping cars, and asks permis- sion from the state commission to es- tablish a new and reduced schedule of rates.

It seems to be a matter wherein possibility waits on disposition.-New York World.

It is amusing to notice the antics of republican politicians on the tariff issue. Those who are talking revis- ion are very loath to say how much reform they favor and when congress should act. They all, however, re- vionists and stand-patters, agree that nothing can be done by the con gress to meet next December and that any thought of tariff tinkering must be postponed until after March 4, 1909. This procrastination is an indication of how little real reform the people may expect at the hands of republican congress.

It is admitted by all crop experts that the condition of the weather during the next two months will cut an important figure in the crop pros- poets for the year. They regard it safe to figure, however, that the un- toward conditions which have exist ed this spring cannot continue through the summer until the mid dle of August. There is abundant moisture in the ground now and with a reasonable and probable period of good, seasonable weather, the likeli- hood is that the general crops this year will be above the average for twenty years.

MURDER TALES TRUE
Witnesses at Boise Confirm
 Orchards Many Crimes.
STEVE ADAMS CAPTURED IN A CAR
Attempt Was Made to Assassinate Bradley by Poison and Bomb. Miners Tell of Explosion In
 vindfcntor Colliery.

BOISE, Ida. June l5.-The trial of William D. Haywood was resumed. with L. B. Guibbinni. an Italian dairy. man of San Francisco. on the stand. It was Guibbinni who introduced Har- ry Orchard, known then as Barry. to the servants in the Bradley household.
 He said that Orchard came to his store and hung around and spent con siderable money. Orchard asked ques- tions about the Bradley household, ask ed to be introduced to the servants and asked Guibbinni to get him room in the neighborhood.
 Cuibbinni saw Orchard moving his luggage the night before the Bradley house was blown up. He also saw the poisoned milk. Guibbinni describ- q the result of the bomb Orchard placed at the front door leading to the Bradley apartments in Washington street. The whole front of the house was blown out. Guibblnni said he saw Orchard at his store the day the explosion occurred.
 The prosecution showed a continu- ous thread of evidence connecting George Pettibone's store in Denver with Orchard at San Francisco while engaged on the Bradley murder plot and partly developed another direct line by which they expect to show that Haywood engaged and paid Steve Adams for the same desperate work and added special touches of connrma- ton to Orchards general story.
 The defense renewed their old tac- tics by moving to strike out the testi- mony of the witness as not connect ing Haywood with the offense charg- ed. The motion was overruled.
 The prosecution called as the next witness Hull McCaughry. the assist ant postmaster of San Francisco, who was interrogated as to a registered letter Orchard said be received from Pettibons while in San Francisco.
 Orchard said he was going by the name of John Dempsey" at the time. and Pettibone used the name of -J. woIn-' In trapsnitting the letter. which contained s1Oo.
 NccIaughry produced Ithe registry records of the San Francisco ofice. which show the receipt of the letter in question on Aug. 13. 1904 The envel. ope was postmarked Denver. Aug 10. I9O4.- The records showing the deIiv- ery of the letter from .-J. woIn to -John Dempsey were admitted 10 eTt dence by Judge Wood over the protest of the attorneys for the defense. vho objected on the ground that there vss nothinr to connect the defendant Hay wood with the matter

showed the receipt of a letter from a Wolff" 1725 Stout street, Denver, ad- dressed to "J. Dempsey, San Francis CO.,"
 The record was admitted in evidence.
 Do you know who lived at 1T25 Stout street at that timer asked Sena- tor Borah.
 Mfr. Pettibone." replied the witness.
 This ended the tracing of the letter. and the prosecution turned to the task of corroborating Orchards testimony as to his experience in the vindicator mine at Cripple Creek. Clarence l.. Harrah was called. He worked on a cage in the vindicator mine in 1903 at the time Orchard said he and a con- panion went into the mine to set of a carload of powder they had discovered. Harrah told of having discovered a man in one of the tunnels. The man shot at him. and be went back to his cage. Harrah said he saw only one man. The incident occurred 800 feet down, in the eighth level.
 Charles Johnson. another cage man In the vindIcator mine, said he was In the mine at the time of the explosion which killed Superintendent McCor- mick and Shift Boss Melville Beck. He described the effect of the explosion and the mangled condition of the bodies. At the time of the explosion the mine was being worked by nonun- ion men, the federation having de- clared a strike in the district Johnson said be knew both Sherman Parker and Bill Easterly.
 Police officers of ogden established the arrest't there in June. 1903. of Steve Adams and A. T. Williams. They were sealed in an eastbound car loaded with fruit. When arrested for trespass each had a brace of revolvers. When re- leased through the influence of e de tectiye. to whom Adams appealed as a Mason, .hey went straight to the of- fec of De Western Union and sent a telegram to Haywood in Denver. The defense headed on an attempt to get the contents of the telegram.
 The witness at this point was con fronted ry Steve Adams. the convict who Is here under arrest and was brought into court. He Is promised as recalcitrant witness against Hay wood. The witness Identified Adams as one of the men arrested

The ambitious state makers of the
east who are busily disposing of Ar
iona by uniting her to Nevada or
otherwise providing for her admission
into the Union, might do well to con
suit the communities concerned. The
woeful failure to appreciate western
sentiment was plain when Arizona
knocked into a cooked hat the best
laid plans of the president and con-
gress. Those who now advocate the
jointure of Arizon and Nevada are
palpably ignorant of the attitude of
the state and territory. Neither cares
to be linked to the other, and there is
no reason why they should be joined.
Nevada is rapidly getting out of the
rotten borough class. Her gold out
put is becoming so large as to be
comparable with that OF Alaska, Col
orado or California, and it promises
to rank with the Rand as a producer.
Irrigation is retaining the arid lands
of the state, and the market afforded
by the gold camps is inducing a farm
ing emigration which, once planted,
will remain and flourish. Inc popula,
ton of Nevada has greatly increased
since 1900. The state is not IN any
need of the population of Arizona's
territory. All that Nevada asks is that
