and no immediate provocation, ami

TIIE STAR ROUTERS ACQUITTED.
After a trial lasting about six months
the Star Kotite thieves havo been sic-
milted. Such a lesult is n disgrace to
the nation. The guilt of tho accused
puftics was clearly established, but an
analysis ot tno jury gavo iiuio nope tor
a conviction, as tho genernl opinion
seemed to bo that tho trial would re
sult in a disagreement. Although
Dorsey has threatened to institute legal
proceedings against newspapers that
nave denounced him, tho leading dai
lies stand in no fear of him .The Phil
adelphia Times says :
It would bo idle to attempt to treat
the verdict of acquittal in tho case ns
entitled to any incisure of respect, and
tho gravy reproach it puts upon the
government demands that the public
press shall call things by their right
names, lirady, Dorsey and other lel
low conspirators in the Star Houto rob
beries aro public thieves. The public
know them to. lu hucIi : thoy ivill bo
pointed out by"tno hissing scorn of the
nation ns selt-eonvicted thieves wher
ever thoy may go, and the world will
be too small to enable them to find a
resting-place where they can meet with
forgeliulnesH of their crimes. They
corrupt tho very fountain of thu power
ot the government. Their inlamy
dates from ihe Senate, tho first legis
lative tribunal of tho laud, anil from
tho Cabinet, the constitutional council
of the President. They made perjury
and theft twin vcrvnuts to give thorn
fortuno by tho incut infamous prostitu
tion of political power, and they fitly
rounded out such a career ot crime by
the pollution of the very sanctuary of
justice.
Tho country coased to bono' for i'ih
tico in the lato trial, when the character
of tho jury was analyz-.'d ; but it was
not expected that oven Star Uouto do-
hanco ot law and public sentiment
would extort an acuuittal, The admo
nition of the first jury in tho case, with
its members who defeated a conviction,
trembling in tho criminal dock at the
possible consequences of their disregard
of sworn duty, was believed to be
protection against such a llaerant inis-
carriago of justice. But llu-rj lim not
merely been a tniscariiago of justice
there has been a total, a revolutionary
overthrow of justice, in tho only place
where it is presumed that law is su
premo and justice inviolate. With one
juror exhibiting as a drunken maniac
111 court, just when thogravest duty was
to be performed, and with ignorance
and necessity fitting the jurors, as a
body, for easy prey to the desperate
tempter, it is not surprising, after all,
that a verdict of acquittal has been de
manded by tho contracting parties, in
stead of the equally effectivo shield
from punishment of a disagreeing jury.
The public thieves who havo shamed
tho nation by the most gigantic robbery
and studied perjury, havo been asbravo
and desperate in corrupting the chan
nels of justice as they were brayo and
desperate in public thctt; and they will
go forth with an acquittal, that fifty
millions of their countrymen will de
clare a lio and a consuming reproach to
tho Republic.

Willi the Indian problem in a sensible,
business soil of u wav that promises
much benefit to thu fultiio of (lie abo

sumo policy. The Secretary visited
the Carlisle school ushort timu ago and
oxpressed n waim nnnrovnl of tho way
iu which Indian children aro theru be
ing educated,, both iu letters and me
chanical arts, and declared that in his
opinion the ohly way to save tho In
dian, was to inako him sclf-sttppoitlng
nnd eiinsequunlly independent. He
follows up this excellent Idea by an
nouncing that ho will usu his influence
and nil the money ho can command lu
mnku the Indians stock raisers, con.
verting their leservations into urnzini'
lauds and allowing them their own
lloeks and herds by which they can
make an honest living, and as they
grow into thu habit of saving up for a
lainy day they may become in indepen
dent and wealthy as any of tho white
people engaged iu a similar calling.
'I hero is much to commend in this

and modes of living. It will giro them
plenty ot exercise, with no work that
an Indian will specially legard as do

them quiet by keeping the mind and
body employed, leaving little lime to
brood over their past glories or tancied
wrongs done to their race bv the domi

in that underlying principle upon which
tho whole structure of civilized society
is built; tho principle of maim cttuitm,
without which anarchy must soon pro

SNviir.UTowx, Pa, June 1!). Tho
most curious cases of insanity ever
heard of in this region aus leported
from lirusfi Valley, some distance from
here. About livo years ago a man
named Moore was killed in tho mines
near here. He left a widow and son
of eleven years of age. They moved
into a farming region and by dint of
hard work managed to exist. Both
mother and son wero practical
sensible people, quiet but sociable.
Last night, about twelve o'clock,
Mrs. Mooro was awakened bv hearing
a terrible outcry in the room adjoinin
hers, occupied by tho son, now a boy
ot sixteen years, in haste she r.m to
the room and found the boy almost
paralyzed with fear, standing by the
open window with beads of prespira
tion 011 Ins brow. With dilliculty she
caimed nun, and questioned him as to
the cause of his trepidation. Still
quakiug terribly, he told that ho had
been awakened by someonej-ipeniiig the

of a man peering in. Hoirified ho

gavo utterance to a shriek which had
so staatled his mother.

and laid one hand upon his shoulder.
Instantly Ihe young man becamo seized
with the laughing fit, and in a few
minutes sank' exhausted to the floor.
In a short time tho laughing fit
passed away, and it was followed by
violent symptoms of insanity. Ho

HARD FACTS and PLENTY.
(j,ik I hill is simply a great retail i Clothino Housethe
rrreatcst of its kind in the country. Our Clothing is made
upon honor. We would- be worse than fools to expect to
build and hold a business upon.othcr than honest goods at the
le-tst urices We neither hold nor buy the remains of whole-s-ile
stocks to run off at rot.il, but make every garment to sell
direct to tho wvaror, under our cast-iron guarantee , a bond
of good faith original with us and perfectly well known to
everybody in the vicinity.
NO PRICES REDUCED.
We are not advertising reduced prices, but we are in
position to offer the best bargains in Spring Clothing of every
sort and upon many items very great bargains. In a very
ti
true sense an our

Twenty-two years Oak Hall has been serving the public,
and in all that time has never offered a stronger inducement
for trade than this.
