that the published reports of thu pvo

thnt the Jury would eonvlet. It might,
feel Inclined to do this on general prl'i
rlplesi'and on general principle the
public would pot strenuously o!j-ot:
but It Is only fair to th. defendant to
nrl'tifiw ledge that lie b." not ftthor
directly or Indirectly ".-en $? el-avly
connected with the Wiling of Mrs.
Adams as to warrant n verdict of
guilty on an Indictment charging mur
der In the llrst ilegrco. V!i3 only thing
which Roland P.. Molineux stands
clearlv convicted of hnvin.r klll.'.l 's
his own reputation and that of a num
ber of his "fast" friends.
It Is votes, not prophecies, that count.
Yet It Is Interesting to observe a ma
jority of the prophets predict that
Senator Quay will be elected.
An Honorable Course.
TWO WRONOS do not make a
right. An odious wrong
wos perpetrated when the
legislature of Kentucky, un
der the Influence of unscrupulous par
tisanship, was Induced to enact the
Jug-handled Ooehol law regulating
elections nnd election contests. That
law put Into the hands of the Dem
ocratic party complete control of elec
tions, yet Taylor, the Republican can
didate for governor, was returned by
the Ooebel commissioners as elected
and a revolutionary appeal was after
ward taken to a manufactured parti
san majority in the legislature to un
seat him nnd to seat the man whose
own appointees on the state board of
election commissioners had said was
not elected.
Hut this wrong did not warrant Oov
ernor Taylor In perpetrating another
great wrong by using the militia of
Kentucky to prevent the co-ordinate
legislative branch from holding Its
regular proceedings in the customary
place; nor did it Justify him In as
suming the existence of a condition of
Insurrection and In basing upon that
nssumptlon an adjournment of the
legislature to reconvene In a different
place. In this he acted Injudiciously
and upon unwise advice. Kentucky's
Republican senator. Dr. Deboc, stated
the common sense of the matter ac
curately when lie telegraphed Gover
nor Taylor from Washington: "The
unanimous sentiment here Is that you
nre wrong In pi eventing the legislature
from meeting, nnd that you ought to
f-ubtnlt the disputed questions to the
civil courts. Federal assistance can
not be given mi your requisition as
long as the legislature Is In session or
can be convened. There Is no doubt
that It can he convened If you will
permit. The llemociats Intend that If
any violence occurs you shall he the
ncgresMir. You will by forcible re
sistance alienate all who formerly sym
pathized with your case,"
In deciding to recede from this mis
taken position the irovernor lias pur
sued the manlv nnd just course. The
legislature may be set u), ngulnst him
and ho may, therefore, lose In the Im
mediate outcome; but that will not be
his fault. He can go and the Hi
publlcan party behind him can
go before the people in their
final appcil without sacrifice of
their self-respect and with a claim to
public consideration which sooner or
Inter will command respectful atten
tion. It Is.not credible of the major
ity of the people of Kentucky that they
will permanently consent to be ruled
by revolutionists.
Lit us have n. viaduct. Everybody
knows that It is needed. Hut let us
have one which will, when built, be
brtth satisfactory and tightly. There Is
only one plan whtch assures these re
sults and jihut Is a viaduct occupying
tite whole of the nvenue in the vicinity
of- the railway tracks.
For a Neutral Canal.
TW-HK TREATY negotiated by
.. I Secretary Hay with the Hrlt-
J. Isb. ambassador nt Wash
. ington, Sir Julian Paunce
fote, for'' the abrogation of certain
parts of, the Clayton-Hulwer treaty
(vjhlch admitted England tp partner
ship in ftWy ship canal that might
be. built across the Central America
Isthmus) embodies tho following feat
ures: A guarantee to the United
States by Great Britain of the rlcht
to construct, operate, maintain und
control an Inter-oceanic canal, con
trol to bo subject to certain condi
tions,, namely: A Kuarantce by tho
United tajes.df the absolute neutral
ity ofthecaual; a guarantee by tho
TJrtltecTRlaUs that It will not fortify
the approaches of the canal; a guaran
tee to the United, States of'the right
to police the canal; and a guarantee
that warships of belligerents, while
permitted to use the cannl in time, of
war, should not remain in It for more
thnn a reasonable time.
It Is held by some that control by
the United States of such a canal
should bo absolute; In other words,
that we should have the right not only
to fortify the approaches and keep out
an enemy's warships in case of rt war.
but also that we should havo the right
at our discretion to Impose upon the
commercial vessels of other nations
tonnage tolls higher tttnn those im
posed upon our own shipping. If the
United Stntesj pays for this cannl It
would seem that It ought to have the
same right to accord special privi
leges to its own commerce that It
would hnvo if the canal, Instead of
being located In Nicaragua or Panama,
wore located In Illinois or Delaware,
Whether it would be policy to exercise
this right Is another question.
The matter of the fortification of
the canal Is not. In our Judgment, so
Important. The best way to fortify u
canal Is to have n navy mtlllclently
good and sufficiently large to prevent
nny hostile ship from getting any
where near It. Them Is no power in
this hemisphere. If we except England,
which Is likely ever to cause alarm In
tills respect: and the very fact of the
neutralization of the canal In time of
war would prevent n superior naval
force from seizing nnd holding the
canal against our own ships. The con
vention as signed by the secretary of
state will undoubtedly be carefully and
fully considered by the senate prior
to ratification, and the. public can rest
assured that no loopholes will bo left
open to danger If In Its present form
any exist.
The lllght Hon. Joseph Chamberlain
may be all the mean thlugn that his
critics nfllrm he is, but one thing is
wire he Is no coward.
The flan for the Place.
IT IS ANNOUNCED with every
appearance of accuracy that
Governor Roosevelt has removed
his name from the list of those
which have been considered In connec
tion with the next vice-presidency. Ho
appreciates the good will which Is back
of the public's mention of him In this
connection but does not seem to bo
anxious to accommodate the politicians
in New York state who desire to hnvo
at Albany iv more pliable governor.
Coupled with the information of Col
onel Roosevelt's Hunt decision not to
accept :i place on tho national v ticket
at this time Is the characteristic an
nouncement that he Intends to be a
candidate for renomlnatlon nnd re
election as governor nnd expects to
secure these honors.
Those who have hafl wime acquaint
ance with Theodore Roosevelt have
been expecting this. He Is not the
mnn to be jockeyed out of the execu
tive mansion at Albany while meas
ures of public value in whhih his
warm interest Is enlisted remain un
finished. He also reeoRnl7.es. we have
no doubt, wherein his temperamental
characteristics are such ns would ren
der unnttractlvc to him tho olllco of
vice-president. That position can ami
should be made by the high qualities
of its occupant one of the foremost
Importance; but it Is essentially dlplo
iniitlc and judicial In its requirements.
In it the fine fire nnd dash and love of
strenuous combat which characterize
Colonel Roosevelt would necessarily bs
misplaced. His talentsjiave need for
a different field.
In this situation we take pleasure;
In reverting to the exceptional recom
mendations of Pennsylvania's superb
representative In the cabinet, Hon.
Charles Emory Smith. Already by vir
tue of his tact and finished manner
not less than by reason of the sound
ness of his Judgment, the accuracy and
wide range of his Information and Ills
thorough trustworthiness, he is an In
dispensable agency In tln necessary
diplomacy of Washington life, keep
ing tho administration In touch with
the people and the people correct''
Informed as to the alms nnd Intents
of the admlnlstiation; and also con
tributing largely to that friendly co
operation between co-ordlnnte .powers
which Is so essential to successful gov
ernment. To those who have hail opportunl'y
to view these matters somewha't from
the inside, It -is no secret that Mr-.
Smith is not only one of the safcin.
thinkers and advisers In the cabinet
council but nlso one of tho surest
I diplomatists and most reliable ns well
as eloquent orators connected with
the MeKlnley administration. He has
not only exhibited successful rjuallll'M
In the dilllcult executive work of his
great anil Intricate department tho
biggest business Institution In th'!
woild but has Impressed his Intelli
gent judgment and gracious methods
upon other circles of public activity,
until it Is not an exaggeration to say
that next to William MeKlnley he Is
tho great revelation of the quadren
nlum. Ills place is at the president':)
light hand, and tho nomination of him
for vice-president nt the Philadelphia
convention four months hence, In ad
dition 'to honoring this steadfast Re
publican stronghold of Pennsylvania,
which has never yet received recogni
tion on a Republican presidential tick
et, would to the country's infinite sat
isfaction, put him there.
Republicans should, bear In mind
that on February 20 two members of
the school board of six ure to bo elected
at large. The fact that tho Supremo
court has not yet passed upon tho ques
tion of tho legality of tho board of
twenty-one but may at any moment
turn the management of tho school
over to the board of six makes It nd
vltable that the entire party voto
should bo polled for the two excellent
Republican nomlnees-nt-large, Messrs.
Ferber and Fellows. In those wards
where the Republican ward ticket Is
unopposed It may require some llttlo
effort to get the vote out, but tho pro
priety of presenting u united front on
the eve of tlio presidential campaign
must be apparent.
It would have been better for the Re.
publican cause. In Kentucky If tho
leaders of that party had done their
thinking first.
Interdependence of
Business Interests
From a fipeeeh Delivered I.nst Evening
by Senator Hevcrldgo lleforo tho New
York Hunkers' Association.
M
Y THEME shall bo union and
unity, the oneness of tho Amcrl
run people, thu solidarity of all
legitimate business, tho Inter
dependence of all honest Inter-
prise, nnd, therefore, tho brother
hood of nil who compose our industrial
civilization; tho brotherhood of business
ns well us of sections; thu brotherhood
of manufacturer and miner, of merchant
und currier, of bunker nnd larmor, of all
who, by hand or bruin, are. building up
tho prosperity of the American people
and the extending tho commercial em
pire of the great republic, Tho grout
truth of tho hour Is this tho real in
terest of every American citizen Is tho
truo Interest of every other American
citizen; the ultimate good of tiny clus-s
Is the limit good of all. Unless w
abolish civilization and reverse tho bal
ancing ptlndplcH of properly and co-operation
on which it is founded, all legiti
mate occupations tiro necessary: and, If
necessary, then thu prosperity of ono in.
volves thu prosperity of nil. Anil so
nothing Is so vital today as for all Amer
icans to know that fellowship is their
highest duty, if former, manufacturer,
artisan, currier, banker and all tho cle.
meuts with which God has woven tho
American nation, can understand that
their Interests lira indentlcal and not
antagonistic, the soverelgi.ty of tho re
public over tho markets, mints and
mines of all tho world Is no longer a
prophecy, but, In the very realization of
that great truth, becomes an accom
plished fact.
:o;
And so thu word on tho lips of patriot
ism today should be fraternity. Hatred,
suspicion and discoid uro words for tho
lips nf treason; for tbcro Is a treason of
peace no lesi than of war. And Itr. vo
cabulary thu American people must learn
to forget und never again acquire. Wo
want today tho gospel of affection
preached throughout the land. Tho cnun
liy wearies of the prophets of dissension
mid waits and listens for the Voice speak
ing peneo and good will among all tha
peopla of our nation. This text must bo
upon the tongue and in tho heart of
every citizen of the republic, "All Amer
icans nro brothers nnd the world Is our
duty und our Held." That Is, for us.
the lm-tto of thu hour and of tho cen
tury to come. For world opportunities
are ours today, nnd If wo grasp them
they will Increase with the Increasing
years. Look around tho horizon. On
our east, tho gruitesl empire In history
Is Involved in a war which Is but the
fi'so to the mighty struggle soon to come.
We cannot prevent It as wo are. Hut
shall we not so unite, conserve nnd build
our power that hereafter wo shall finally
beiomo tho arbiter without whoso con-t-ont,
no nation mey open tho doots of
Janus? On our south, tho grout canul
awaits tho diggers; tho diggers nro at
hand and Manila, by the scoop of a
spade Is to be brought thousands of
miles nearer to New Yorlc and tho com
merce of the world bo made to puss be
neath our puns. To our north, on an
extension of cur roll. Is a peotilo of our
bloml. oui tongue, our faith, nnd of kin
ili' d Institutions, separated by an Imag
inary line, through which wo can al
read." boulp to rend tho words of Eng
land's prophetic statesman, tho all but
Inspired Bright. On our west, tho Orient
waits, tipo nnd ready for development.
Tens of thousands of tulles of railroads
aro to be built throughout tho countries
of tho aroused and awakmlng east. Civ
ilization's enlightenment ,ls to be carried
to the multitudinous millions of China,
Enllghtci ment means new deslies, desires
mT.n new demandr, new demands mean
new supply: and so the syllogism of
Orle-.tal developmei t ends nt our farms,
our shops, nur factories and our banks
In Its material phase, while, In Its spir
itual aspect It sweeps nn, In Its blessed
bericllti for them nnd for us, beyond the,
ilglil of tlnlto eyes. Yes, look round tho
horizon. We aro circled about with op
portunities. As a nation of brothers, tin.
divided by Imaginary nnd needless dlf
ferenei b, wc can master these opportu
nities, and so being that period ol Amer
ican supremncy which means prolonged
prosperity for the American people and
the betterment of all with whom wo
conio in contact and wo will come In
contact with nil tho world. Hut If we nrc
divided among ourselves; if we war on
each other; If we wasto and scatter our
forr-es which, united, nro Irresistahle, wo
will, instead of nehlevh.g the mastery of
tho world, lose the mattery of ourselves.
:o;
And so, If the speech I utter to you to
night might not as appropriately bo
spoken to tho f tinners of America, I
should refuse to speak to you. And any
message given to tho lrborlng men of the
nation should bo equally applicable to
you, because your Interests nro the same.
There Is no class In the republic who de
servo exclusive srecoh. No message
should be heard that has not a universal
meaning and up equal application to all
men und all classes within tho nation.
I will fellowship with no man. faction,
class, or party whoso Interests are npart
from the common Interests of tho Amer
lean people. Tho occupation of dema
gogues today Is to divide tho American
peoplo nnd to set brothers laboring in
one calling against brothers laboring in
another. Of all of theic tbo banks nnd
bankers aro tho favotltje objects ot pet
petttal nttnek. Tho reason of this Is
that tho banking Interests of the nation
are the natural objects of tho people s
suspicion, becuuso tho banks aro tho
holders of tho people's accumulated
wealth, nnd each depositor, forgetting
bis Individual deposit, looks at tho vavt
aggregation of deposits and thinks of
that massed nnd mighty bulk of wealth
us the property o'rthe banks thmsclves.
And so tho ear Is credulous to the charge
of the Jack Cades of polities, thai tho
benks aie unnaturally rich; that this
enormous wealth Is dlshoues'c wealth,
by mysterious and wizard hands, won by
grinding down tho people, won by
squeezing tho juices out of prosperous
times until only tho husk of hard times
Is left for the masses. The cry of politi
cal t'atallnes today and always Is, that
the prosperity of the banker mea'is tho
poverty of the producer; and on every
incendiary stump nnd In every sheet of
hatred In tho land it is proclaimed that
the bunkers of America uro tho natural
enemlis of the inborlng, tho producing
and the business elements of tho nation.
:o:
All patriotic men should denounce thnt
slander. For thero Is no business so ut
terly dependent on the welfare of their
fellow-men ns tho business of tho hankers
of the United States. Hanks hnvo but two
sources or profit Interest nnd exchange.
When times nro good, money is In do.
maud, rules nre high, exchnnge Is brisk,
and bunks prosper precisely ns the coun
try prospers. When times nro bud ex
chnngo diminishes, loans nro called In
nnd all tho sources of Income dry up flko
n summer's drought. When do hanks
earn largest dividends? Exactly when
the farmer gets highest prices for his
wheat; exactly when the manufacturer
sells most wares, exactly when the man
who tolls with his hardened hands Is re
warded with highest wages. Whin do
bank dividends decrease nnd finally fall?
Exactly when tha merchant dnro not
buy becuuso ho cannot sell; when factory
wheels uto motionless and factory fires
aro ashes: when tho farmer burns his
corn for fuel; when the miner starves
nt tho mouth of the silent shaft; when
burger sits at the tablo of toil. Theso
nro simply statistics; thcto aro merely
vital facts, explain them as you will.
And tho explanation Is as clear as cause
and effect, Tho explanation Is cuuso
nnd effect. For the bank Is only the
agent of tho mighty elements of prndue.
tlon nnd exchange. It Is absolutely de.
pendent. Aid It is as unthliiknblo that
tho banks should destroy prosperity r.s
that tho hand rhould pluck out the
heart that supplies it with blood, or
deny the system tho food by which
uluiio tho bund Itself can even live, if
, it were truo that bankers by any mump.

A gingham sale worth talking about. It's going to be a gingham season. Deliveries come slow, owing to the rush which has over
whelmed the manufacturers There seems to be little doubt that the handsome, inexpensive, reliable, serviceable gingham is to reassume
its place in the dress goods world from which it was temporarily pushed by the more elaborate organdie. All this makes the sale we have
to tell about today all the more remarkable. We have 8,430 yards of the almost very best ginghams to sell today only at
Fowir ceirats yard for the apron kind;
live aod omiehalf cents for the dress kirndo
v A very low price for these would be six cents and eight cents. They 'vary only bv a few "picks'' or threads per inch from the
VERY best ginghams made, and are manufactured by the mill which unquestionably leads this country in gingham makes.
Over 200 styles plenty of choice no perc ptible difference from the genuine Scotch.
There'll be plenty of extra help and it will all be needed.

the hunger of women, nnd the helpless

and he who brings It on for gain Is a
criminal fit for perpetual stripes, llul
If bunks do not create disaster, then
those who knowingly charge them false
ly and thus sow hatred and dissension
among American citizens, nro Infamous
beyond epithet.
The bunks aro not the creators of
wealth; the govcrnmtnt Is not the crea
tor of weulth. The people, tho soli, tho
air, the mines, tho looms theso nre tho
creators of wealth. The banks do not
even own the wealth they held. They do
not own themselves. Tho stockholders
own them partly, but tho depositors
own them under the accumulating de
cisions more largely even than tho
stockholders. So the demagogues' state
ment that the banks own tho country
Is merely a statement that tho country
owns Itself. The fttrmer, laborer, mer
chant, manufacturer, nnd business mnn
nre the real bankers of tho Itepubllc.
They put their money In banks, because
It is safer there, because It is conveni
ent, und for the multitude of reasons
which, together, make up what men call
common sense. If left there long thoso
deposits usually draw Interest. Thoso
ileprslts must bo loaned out again to pay
that Interest, to pny dividends, to pay
nxptnses. Of these and all tho operations
of the banks, tho banker Is only tho ser
vant, tho agent, tho supervisor tho real
banker Is tho depositor and stockholder
the real banker Is the Amcrlcnn pso
ple. Tho nominal bnnker, from presi
dent to bookkeeper, Is nothing moro
than the telephone girl at the exchanges
throughout the country, with the central
exchange hero in New York; the banking
method.! nnd devices nro nothing moro
than the. wires and transmitters and re
ceivers; the depositors nro tho subscrib
ers to tho system, to serve whom it Is
tho business of the whole machinery of
financial exchange. The banks may bo
tha transmitters, lecelvers and nil that;
tho officers of banks may operate the ex
changes; but those who do thu talking
are tho prosperous nnd producing Ameri
can people.
:o:
If, then, the banker Is merely the ser
vant of business, If ho Is merely an
agent of tho American people, It Is Im
possible that ho should want to Injuro
tho people or their business, because that
would injuro himself. If tho bank pros
pers only when tlio country prospers, It
follows it is tho banker's chief Interest
to guard the country's prosperity. And
slnco tho laborlngnian can get best em
ployment only when the country pros
pers,. It is .also tho laborlngmnn's chief
Interest to guard the country's prosperi
ty. And so t,hc laborer nnd tho banker
stand sldo by side, with the same inter,
ests, tho same purposes, and tho samo
results following their actions; for If
either does anything that destroys tho
prosperity of the other or tho prosperity
of the country, he thereby destroys his
own prosperity. And the welfaro of tho
worklngman means tho precedent pros
perlty of tho manufacturer who em
ploys him. And tho prosperity of tho
manufacturer depends upon the prosperi
ty of the farmer who buys everything It-)
makes. And tho prosperity of the rail
road Is posslblo only when rnpld nnd
general exchange of products of farm,
factory and mlno occurs.
And so the real prosperity of every In
dustry and every calling reatB on tha
prosperity of every other Industry and
calling In the nation. When wo In
jure 0110 wo Injure all. When one In
jures the rest It Injures Itself. 4or wo

sult thnt finished product called modern
