THE Richmond Times Dispatch" says
that Governor Harmon of Ohio is "a big
man standing on a bad platform" It
has no respect for the men who wrote
the resolutions for the recent Demo-
cratic State Convention in Ohio. But
Governor Harmon is appealing for sup
port on his personal record, not because
of the principles which he is supposed
to represent His only hope of winning
Is to make the public forget that he is
running as Democrat and in the in
terest Of what passes current as De-
mocracy.

The Spanish government has two tasks
in hand. One Is the enforcement Of its
domestic laws for the regulation OF re-
ligious societies, to which end 1t mas
issued certain constitutional DEGREES.
The other is the revision Of one of its
foreign treaties, to which end it has
undertaken diplomatic negotiations with
the Vatican. Now the Vatican demands
as sine qua non for the continuance Of
the negotiations that the DEGREES shall
be withdrawn and the laws shall be an
nulled and the domestic policy Of the
government shall be modified in accord
ance with the dictates Of foreign
power. It does not seem possible that
the Spanish government can accede to a
demand for the practical surrender Of
its own essential functions If foreign
negotiations can be conducted only at
the price Of domestic abdication they
are likely to be abandoned.

Professor Vincents effort to perfect a
serum which will serve as preventive
Of typhoid fever is highly laudable, but
it is not the first to attract the worlds 8
attention. The FTenchman is by no
means a pioneer. Much the most
notable work done thus far is that Of an
Englishman, Professor Wright, whose
serum was tried in South Africa during
the Boer war. If his success was not
all that he himself desired, 1t was suffi-
cient to inspire imitation. 1t may safely
be assumed that the experiments made
by the United States and German War
departments were suggested by Profess
sor Wright's achievements. Professor
Vincent seems to be q newcomer, and if
his serum Is as efficacious as the Eng
lishman's he has cause for satisfaction

The movement for q national or per-
haps universal monument to Virgil Is
conlmendable, but 1t suffers from null
t1tude of conflicting counsels as to style
and place. His familiar quasi-auto-
graphic epitaph suggests one Of three
places:
. Mantua gave
Me life, BrundusiuH death, Naples grave.
But the favorite scheme at present
seems to be to dedicate to his memory a
grove on the banks of the Mincio at
Pietola, in which the trees and flowers
Of which he sang in his Eclogues shall
be cultivated. That would be not inap-
propriate. and would perhaps be as
nearly as anything like what the poet
himself would have wished.

ry save the bare statement tina,
we were going to vote for rhim fol

: We want to say just here that we
can see no good, but much harm to
come out of all this TRADE against
the Governor. 1t is very poor in
vitation to capital or immigrants to
come this way. 1t will build no
new factories nor will it in any way
advance the social or material pro-
gress of Louisiana.
We have noticed something that
we believe we will mention just to
see if anybody else has noticed it:
We know some men who read ex-
clusively. so far as state papers are
concerned; the Times Democrat. In
every case they are arrayed against
Sanders, and firmly believe that he
is the most corrupt man that ever
walked the surface of the earth.
Why, to hear them talk they think
that Some wicked Genii must have
bsen
AT his birth and cursed the earth
with SIM
and it is like singing psalms to
dead horse as to undertake to rea-
son the case with them.
When we meet and converse with
a man who reads other papers as
we'll as the Times-Democrat, we
find man who Is quite conserva-
tive, and willing to concede the man
his political rights. They had not
expected absolute perfection of the
man, knowing that he was human,
and they find much good in him, and
many are to be found who love and
admire him, and they are neither of
flee holders or Office seekers.
We repeat that with the light be-
fore us we shall cast our ballot for
Sanders. Conditions could change
and we may have reasons to change
our mind, and if this is wabbling,
let it go al that.
Wise men change their minds.

The high cost of living, higher
now than it has ever been known te
be, has caused the people to AVA
ken to a realization of the situation
more than ever. The Republican
party, creator of high tariffs, is feel
ing the effect and is now in NOR
tai fear that the Congress of the
United States will soon be lost to
it and be entirely and hopelessly
under Democratic control. Accord
ing to press reports the national par
ty leaders are putting up a bold
front, but they are confdentially
awaiting the crash which will come
in November, when the Democrats
will sweep the country.
Following Maine, Massachusetts
will fall in line, as will other cas-
tern states, New York it is also said
will be in line, as will several other
strong Republican strongholds,
From all press reports the next
House will be beyond the range Of
those responsible for the present
prohibitive tariffs, and unless a
world of money is spent the result
can not be other than beneficial to
the people.

Howard, a youth, but fourteen
years Of age or fifteen at the
oldest, was tried last Thursday,
seven months after he was char
ged with having murdered a com
panion, one Lawrence Anderson,
both coIored. The accused was
without means to employ an at

Judge Bpattie last February.
The matter was taken to the Sup
rene Court on an exception to
the courts jurisdiction main
tanning that the courJ should sit
2 us ii Juvenile court to try the CASE,
even if it were a capital crime.
The Supreme Court ruled other
wise and the matter was reman

and plea in abatement, excep-

was again filed. This beingoyer
rnled the trial was proceeded
with in the ordinary way.
There was absolutely no direct
testimony, all evidence being cir
cumstantial and based upon state
ments made after the homicide.
The only witness was the ac-
cused himself. There was some
evidence tending to show that
deceased had said that accused
had shot him, but this was not
made as dying declaration, as
deceased never seemed to realize
that his death was near. Accor-
ding TO accused. who's storywas

him of the fact and he in turn re

they found accused under corn

have told conflicting stories as to
manner in which shooting oc-
