Dakota will not be admitted asa iState
no long as it has such an overwhelming j

aaire will be found on another page of
this paier. In more ways than one it is
one of the most remarkable document
of the kind ever sent to an American
Congress. It is short and confines itself
strictly to the one topic that of reducing
the public revenue. All other question
are excluded as of minor interest or im
portance. Of all the messages that have
emanated from the White House there
has not leen one do openly out and out
hostile to American capital and lalsir as
this. Not one that has so decidedly at
tacked the American system of manu
factures. He would let the entire system
of internal revenue stand and would reduce
the surplus by a broad, w holesale slaugh
ter of the Protective dut ies. He declares
that the internal taxes affect nothing but
luxuries, and aims his whole blow at the
tariff laws. He would place wool, iron
ore, coal and luiutxr on the free list and
would greatly reduce if he did not alto
gether abolish the duties on manufac
tured article that are imjiorted anil come
into competition w ith our ow n American
manufacture. Hie President has placed
liimsvlf and party fairly and squarely on
Free-trade and bravely throws down the
gauge of tattle. He is to be credited for
bis courage in attacking Protection and
of inviting battle Is taeen American in
dustry and its opponents, between the
friends and the enemies of American
manufactures, between the policy of Pro
tection and of atisolute Free-trade. It is
very questionable whether the Piesident
will be able to carry w ith him a sufficient
number of hid party in Congress to secure
legislation in accordance with his recom
mendations. Should he do so it would
Jiossibly result in his defeat for a re-nomination.
His message, in all human
probability will tcure the election of a
Kcubliin to be his auivessor. The
country is not ready for Free-trade just

A KVMBERof important cabinet changes
were made by the President last wreck.
Lucius Quintius Curtius Lamar, Secre
tary of the Interior, was nominated for
Associate Justice of the Supreme Court,
and his place is filled by the transfer of
W. F. Vilas from the office of Postmaster
jeoerl. Don M. Pie kiiidon. of Miebi
ia has been appointed to fill the place
vacated bv Mr. Vila and Charles a Fair
child, of New York, has been appointed
Secretary of the Treasury. Mr Fair
child has been discharging the duties of
Secretary of the Treasury for some unie
past. The nomination of Lamar will
probably I confirmed, as be was for
mally amem1.r of the Senate, althongh
there are grave objections to it. He was
, jKoesMonist of the most pronounced
type and the following is the way Sena
tor Ingalls sized him up in a conversa
tion held Friday. He said :
" I presume Mr. Lmar will be confirmed,
a be if no wone than many other appoiot
mtuta the President has beerc compelled to
make in the iutcrwu of lei's party in the
South. Mr. Lamar b.a been intimately and
prominently connected with political affairs
for nearly thirty year. He never has been
admitted to practice a the Bar of the Su
preme Court. He was only classified as a
lawyer, never having seriously engaeed in
the practice of the profoeion. In Congress
before the war lie was the most vwieiu.
truculent and malevolent of all the secession
leaders in his avowed hostility to the Fniou
ami his advocacy of the constitutionality of
slavery and secession. Having been the
confidential friend of Jefferson Davit and
the Diplomatic aelit of the Confederacy, at
theclsise oftlie war he elixapir d fnim
public aflairs and became identified with a
provincial institution of learning in Mi.-is-sippi
as nominal Profirtsor of Law. It is not
known that he ever appeared in court in the
interval between the death of the Confeder
acy and his re-entrance into public life, ex
cept t defend murderers and assassins w ho
were charged with violating the election
laws and overthrowing )y blood and riot
the silitiial rights of the freedmen of the
.South. Mr. Lamar entered the Senate a the
heneficiary of tire most brutal and inhuman
conspiracy which ever disgraced hnmaiiity.
It was suljsequc-iitly known as the Missis
sippi plan, and was the invention of his
quondam colleague, the present Senator, Mr.
ti.-ore. Mr. Ucinar's Iitical simvrity is
illustrated by Lis declaration in the Senate
that Jefferson Davis would occupy a niche in
history by the side of John Hampden and
fieeinre Washinirton.and his intellc-tual dex
terity is evident hy his eulogy of liarli-
Sunnier in the North and John C. Calhoun
in the Smth. lie re presents everything had
in the past, dangerous in the present, and
ominous in the future."
51k. Larva km rank at the bar would
never have made him a Supreme Court
Judge. This is the testimony of many
w ho are familiar with his professional ca
reer, and who declare that his actual le
gal experience has been inconsiderable.
Mr. Lamar's still rcliellious sentiments, as
exemplified by his angry denunciation
only two wears ago of those who dared to
call Jefferson Davis "a traitor," do not
piiit to him as a man to Is intrusted
a ith the devision of matters growing out
of the late war, and his responsibility for
Mississippi repudiation is not reassuring
as to the stand he might take upon similar
questions. It remains to lie seen wheth
er personal and social influence, and Sen
atorial good-fellowshsp, will make his
way to confirmation easy. AVir York Tri
tium: Mr. Blaikk is a private citizen, at pres
ent traveling in Eurcqie. The President of
the United States after dome months of
incubation, delivers a stump speech on
the tariff, in place of the annual message
which bis official duty requires. Twenty
four hours after its publication in this
country there come from Mr. Blaine in
Eumie a reply so thoroughly American
in spirit, no keen in its comprehension of
American interests and needs, so accurate
in facts and so crushing and- complete in
its argument, that leading papers of the
jiarty which supports Mr. Cleveland do
not dare to place it before their readers.
His friends see that the reply w ill kindle
the enthusiasm of millions of Americans
for the policy of the Republican party,
and for the strong leader who so swiftly
and surely represents American interests
and American thought. Mr. Cleveland's
message not only divides and dismays his
friends, but delight the London newspa
pers and the British manufacturers.
The fatal blunder of Mr. Cleveland was
In attempting to make the people take it
for granted that duties for the protection
of home industry must lie removed or
lowered, in order, to diminish the reve
nue. The people know Wtter. Mr.
T.laine, three thousand miles away, tells
the President that taxes on tobacco and
on spirits used in manufactures can be
cut off, and the tax on whiskey applied
to the defense of seaports, and that it is
simply inexcusable to retain internal war
taxes for no better purpose than to de
prive home industries of the legitimate
measure of defence which a tariff ade
quate to raise the needed revenue would
give. Coast defence, so ably and elo
quently urged by Mr. Tilden, has never
lieen fairly considered by Mr. Cleveland,
and may easily be forgotten by a Presi
dent w ho values British commendation,
courts British favor, and considers Brit
ish rather than American interest.
lrotecticn for home industries has not
been directly a-ailed by any lresident
except Mr. Cleveland since James Bu
chanan went out of office iu disgrace. It
remains to be seen whether Iresidcnt
Cleveland can w ith safety rely upon tlie
influence of importing agents and foreign
manufacturers, even in New York and
New Jersey, to uphold him in trying to
break down the tariff which basso grand
ly developed and now defends American
industry. A". J". TVihuur.
Cincinnati Fldelioy Bank Scandal.
CinsKATi, Dec. 8. The Krufuirer to-day
published fac-simile cipher letters which
purport to have been sent while in jail by
ex-Vice President Harper, now on trial, to
Miss Josie Holmes, his former exchange
clerk. The letters are as ardent as those of
any lover could be. Ill the first one he in
structed her about what she should say in
her testimony. It is explained thai after the
failure Harper pmfesscd the warmest frii-nd-ship
A'csi'ant c'cv-tiier B. K. Hopkins, and
promised to eto evc-rything that could he

came his messenger to carry letters to and
front Miss Holmes. While performing this
office lee began to suect thai Harjier was
arranging to shirk upon his father the re
sponsibility of all transactions with the grain
Iwokem. and young Hopkins, m plaee Har
per witliin his power, conceived lice design
of coliccaling the letters and delivering ver
bal nxitsatre only. In the Court room to
day Harper gave his usual polite attention to
his wife, and showed but little trace of trou
ble. His wife?, however, rat like a statute,
as though oblivious to her surroundings.
Tlierr is no doubt of tlee authenticity of the
letters, and they place in the true light the
relation between the ex-banker and his fair
c-lerk. The proowution to-day closed it evi-
lence in the case.

'We may congratulate ours-lv on the

city four years ago for the aame purpose that
we are now asse-miiled. At that lime the

North at the last preceding general State
elections counted up into the hundreds of

nearly 2oO.WO plurality, which was reduced
for the same candielate at the Presidential
election to less than, Liu".
" Though by accident the Itemocratic par
ty have the Presidency and the prestige of
success, the signs are auspicious for the elec
tion of a lb-publican President in 1HSS. The
momentum acquired by i years of the prev
alence of Republican principles has not yet
lost its force, and the material interests of
the country are still prosiering as the rewult
of Repuhlie-an industrial legislagation. Re
cent utterances, however, imlicate a deter
mination to end this prosperity by adverse
legislation forced upon the country by an
administration hostile to American indus
try ; and also indicate the necessity of the
return to power of the Republican 'arty in
the National liovernmeiit so that American
industry, wool growing and sugar raising,
equally with iron making and textde pro
duction, may have continued prosierity,
and the employes constant employment and

WHAT BLAINE SAYS.
Hie Views on Cleveland's Extraor
dinary Message Repeal the To
bacco Tax but Let That on
Whiskey Remain.
The Paris correspondent of tbe New York
Tr'Jj-me cables a report to that paier. giving
the views of Mr. Blaine on the President's
message.
Mr. Blaine said to the Tribune representa
tive: ' I have been reading an abstract of the
President's message and have been especial
ly interested in the comments of the London
papers. Those paiers all assume to declare
the message is a free trade manifesto, and
evidently are anticipating an enlarged mar
ket for englUh fabrics in the United States
as a consequence of the President's recom
mendations. Perhaps that fact stamped the
character of the message more clearly than
any words of mine can."
' You elon't mean ai-tual free trade without
duty?" queried the reporter.
" No," replied Blaine. Nor do the Lon
don paiers mean that. They simply mean
that the Prcsiilent has recommended what in
the United Statcae is known as a revenue tariff,
rejecting the protective fenture as an object
and not even permitting protection to result
freely as an inejideiu to revenue duties."
" I do not know that I clearly comprehend
that last point," said the retainer.
"I mean," said Mr. Rlaine. "that for the
first time in tlie history of the United States
the President recommends retaining the in
ternal tax in order thut the tariff may be
fonvel elown even be-low the fair revenue
standard. He recommends that the tax on
tobac-co be retained, and thus that many mil
iums annually shall he levied on a domestic
produirt which would far better come from a
tariff on foreign fabrics."
" I favor the rejieal of the toiiai-co lax,"
said Mr. Klaine, "and I would urge that it
1m- clone tit once, even before the Christmas
holidays. It would, in the first place, bring
great relief to growers of tobacco all over the
country unci would materially les-eii the
price of the article to consume rs. Tobacco
to millions of men is a necessity. The Pres
ident calls it a luxury, but it is a luxury in
no oilier sense than tc-a and coffee an' luxu
ries. The only excuse for such a tax is the
actual necessity under which the govern
ment found itself during the war and the
year's immediately following. To letaiti the
tax now in order to destniy the protection
which would incidentally flow from raising
the same amount of motley on foreign im
iorts is certainly a most extraordinary poli
cy lor our government."
' would you advise the refieal of the
,'. !. -key lax also, Mr. Blaiue?"
No 1 would not. Other considerations
(ban those of financial administration are to
Ik- tiiken in account with regard to wT.ike-y.
Thee is a mora! side to it. To chca(M-ti the
p'.e of whiskey is to increase tiie consump
tion enormously. There would be no sense
iu unriug tbe reform wrought by hixh li-ci'i.M-
in other State's if the- NatioiiMl tinvern-ini-itt
neutralises the gesid etVec-l by making
whiskey within the ivach of every one- tit :!0
evil's a gallon. Whiskey would he every
v. ben' distilled if tlie surveillance of the gov
ernment were withdrawn by the remission
of the tax, and illicit sales could not then lie
prevented even by a policy as rigorous and
searching as thai with which Russia pursues
the Nihilist. It would destroy high license
at once in all the States. Whiskey has elone
a vast deal of harm in the United Suites. I
would try to make it to do sonic gesnl. 1
would use the tax to fortify our cities on the
scsihoanl. ltT view of the powerful letter ad
dressed to the Ilcmocratic iarty on the sub
ject of fortification by the late Samuel J.
Tilden iu lotvi, I am amazed that no atten
tion hits been ("aid to the subjec t by the
lVnusTutic administration."
Further, Mr. Itlaiue informed the Tribmit
representative that he would maintain the
tax on whiskey " so long as there was any
whiskey to tax, and when the National (iov
ernmcnt would have no use for the money I
would divide the tax among the Fesle-nil
Union with Ihe -cilic object of ligbti'liing
the lax on real estate. The houses and farms
of the whole country ay too large a pro(ior
tion of Hie total taxes. If ultimately relief
could be given in that dins'! ion it would in
my judgment, lie a wise and hciiefiecut
pilicy."

led to the compliment of a confirmation
without reference lo a committee when a

preceding that of Mr. Lamar was that of Mr.

much shorter period than that of Mr. Ijiniar.
Mr. (inkling's nomination was sent lo tbe
Judicat-y Committee and reported hack. He

Mr. Dickinson will be the youngest mem
ler of Mr. Cleveland's Cabinet. He was
tiom at Auburn, N. Y.. in 1843. His father
went to Michigan when Don was a small
boy. The new p.istmasteT General was

Arbor, graduating iu IsCjG. Three years
later lie received his diploma from tlie law
school and began lo prae-tiee. He look into
partnership with him ancrtlier Dickinson
(Julian C), who was no kin whatever to
him. The two prospered and separated, but
Don held together the large business. Tie
firm is now Dickinson, Hosiner ct Thurber.
Mr. Dickinson is said to be worth half a
million, and Mrs. Dickinson, who was a
Grand Rapids girl, has a fortune of tlfrMMU

years. David Wynn walked yesterday for
the first time in years. Another was the

Press Comments on the Message.
Cleveland X.r (Rep ): The Dunoe-ratic
party has uot. since tbe war, dared to come
out so oieiily in favor of a reduction of the
tariff.
Omaha fUpuMic-i Rep.; :" There is no
statement in the message favoring taritJ for
revenue only that lias not been met by con
vincing connter statements.".
St. Louis Rf)mMcitn (Dem.): The Presi
dent's message means business. Mr. Ran
dall must fall in or full out. He can do
either be pleases, but he must do one or the
other. ; ' '
Detroit Tr ibui (Rep): Thanks, Mr.
Cleveland, lor the issue you bave raised.
On that issue the Repul!ii-an fKirty will
gla.lly do battle iu 1 and win in every
Northern State. .- ,
New York San (Dem.) : It is a bold thing
to do. and the President deserves credit for the
plainness of his speech. Nobody can accuse
him of hedging, of haggling, or juggling with
words.
New Orleans Stoic (Dem.) : In short, it is
a sound, healthy Demcjcratic document, and
outlines the plan of campaign by w hich the
Democratic President must be elected next
year.
Kansas City Journal (Rep.): The Presi
dent's message is a confession, in three col
umns, of the iiieroiupetency of the party
which is now responsible for the management
of the government.
Philadelphia Surth Ameriran (Rep.) : Tlie
country now knows exactly where Mr.
Cleveland stands, and if it doe not approve
of his position, it also knows just what to do
when the proper time arrives.
Atlanta VotutitutUm (Dc-ni.) : That a man
of prscticai common sense like Cleveland
should walk into such a trap is surprising,
but he has not walked in without a protest,
as his reference to the Chicago platform
shows.
New York i'leainc Jtut (Mugwump) : Mr.
Randall and his handful, who have fought
every change in the tariff, large and small
may now go over lo the enemy. There is
no more room for them in any party which
sustains Mr. Cleveland.
Hartford GitimtU Rep.) : It is a free trade
argument all the way through, and while he
hyporcritically liegs that free trade and pro
tection be drop(ied fr uit discussion, the fact
remains that every argument he makes is
directly an argume-nt for free trade
Boston TruiWT(Re p.) : His grossest blun
der is whrn he says that "the question of
free trade is absolutely irrelevant." The
vital issue is free trade versus protection.
The President has rendered one imirtant
service in that he has made this issue dis
tinct. Pittsburg Vvmmarial GaztlU I Rep.): Ill
other words, a wholly niiiiecesMiry tax is to
be coiitincel on whisky and toluicco that a
! ilcmocratic free trade administration muy
! strike deadly blows at the manufacturing,
i mining, and agricultural industries of the
I country.
New York 77in (Mugwump) : If the pro
tee:tionist in the Democratic wrty carry out
their own desires, or to do what they have
continually de-dared that they would do,
Mr. Cleveland has done the one thing by
'. which he could imperil the pnreiect of his
1 own renomination.
' Atlanta Gmrtitution (Dem.): The message
oftlie Preside-nl conererns itself solely with
I the tariff question, and he discusses almost
exclusively from the standisiint of lire'r
' Bill Morrison, of Illinois, who was let at
j home by his esteemed constitutcni.-' ou ac-
count of his extreme views,
i New Orleans Tunrt-I'tmncrat (lli-m.1 ; We
do not agree with the Peresidenl in regard
to the non-reduction of the tobacco tax. It
; is true that tobacco is not a necessity, but
j the tax is troubleseome anil burdensome lo
the agricultural pnslucer, and cost of its
collection is considerable.
lndianaiolis Jcncmet; Politically, the mes-
sage is a terrible arraignment of the Demo
cratic party. 1 he Democracy have lor sev
eral years had control of the House of Repre
sentatives, where alone revenue measures
can orginate. They have neither amended
the tariff nor made any honest effort to do
so.
Cincinnati CommerrUil Gazette (Rep.): The
Republican party would reduce the revenue.
Mr. Cleveland's recommendations, while
attacking American industries, would in
crease the revenue. Thus, while home lalsir
would be impoverished, there would be an
increase rather than a reduction in the
revenue.
Louisville Courier Journal (iK-m.) : To the
party itself the President's message makes
clear that in 1SH8 it will be tariff reform or
nothing. No wonts could have be-en spoken
which will so effectually sevtirethe harmony
which so many de-ire as the clear, bold,
emphatic declaration of iarty principle anil
party purt,se coming from the President.
New York Trihunr f Rep.) : Credit is due to
the President for making the issue boldly
and distinctly, so that no man ran hereafter
claim, with a show of reason, that the the
ories and aims of ultra opisirients of pro
tection have not ill him a zealous advocate.
On the issue thus presented, the ieoilci csin
not dcciele I'Si soon, and upon their decision
will large-ly dcieud their future prosx-rity.
Philadelphia Vi(Rcp.): Mr. Cleveland
has fixes! the isisitioti of his party, anil there
is no escaie from it. Few even of tiiose who
fully agree with him would have ventured
as far as he has gone, hut now that he has
plunged into the abyss the-y must follow
him. The small band of Democratic protec
tionists are left stratide-d and homeless, but
the Democratic party must go with the
President .
New York I'rat (Rep.): Upon the whole
the message is a declaration in tivorof tariff
for revenue only, and as such it must be re
garded. If Mr. Cleveland is U be the
nominee of the IVmocratic party in ls.s.sthe
protection and free-trade issue will lie clearly
drawn. His utterances are those of a free
trader, his arguments are in the same line,
and to put his proposals into execution would
destniy American, industry, turn our home
market over lo foreigners, and reduce tlie
compensation of those who labor for a liv
ing. Anarchist Most's Sentence.
New York, Dec. 8. Johann Most, the An
archist, who was convicted of misdemeanor,
was arraigned in the General Sessions Court
to-day. His counsel, Mr. Howe, argued for
a new trial, contending that Most had not
been cxinvictc-d on any fair evidence, but
that an unfair prejudice had been instilled
into the case. Assistant Distrii-t Attorney
Nicoll said in reply that he heis?d Judge
Cowing would not subvert all precedents of
law by reviewing the verdiert.
Judge Cowing said he would deny the mo
tion, hut that he would grant a certifieate lo
the Supreme Court in Uener.il Term, when
the whole case might be bean).
When Ihe Clerk of the Court asked Most
what be had to say why sentence should not
be pronounced on him Most appealed lo the
Judge te use his discretion in setting aside
the verdict and protested his innocence, say
his conviction had been brought aiiout by
perjury and prejudice. Judge Cowing'sonly
reply was: "The sentence of ihe Court is
that you be confined in the penitentiary for
a period of one year without the fine."
A Pistol In the French Deputies.
Pakis, Dec. 10. M. Jules Ferry was fired
at three times this aftcmuon by a man iu
the lobby of the Chamber of Deputies. There
is great excitement, and de-tails of the shoot
ing are not yet obtainable, but it is reported
that M. Ferry is seriously injured.
Paris, December 11. Aubertin the would
be assasin of M. Perry, Is ihe author of vari
ous pamphlets and the inventor ot several
machines, the failure of which has reduced
him to deep poverty, embittered his lite and
brought on occasional attacks of insane exal
tation of mind. Radical organs declare that
tbe roan is a crank, as political assassination
is held to be inexcusable by Radicals.
Now President Spencer,
Baltimosk, Dec- 10. The long expected j
changes in the head of the Baltimore & Ohio i
Railroad took place at the director' meeting j
here to-day, when tiomuei fincer was j
elected preaideot to succeed Gamtl. and i
Thoa. il. King resigned bis position as sec
ond vice president.
THREE IMPORTANT DECISIONS.
Validity of the Prohibition Law In
Kansas Affirmed.
The first opinion was read by Justice
Matthews, and was conc-nrred in by all the
oilier Justices except Harlan. It sustains
the position of Ihe State of Virginia in what
is familiarly known as the "coupon case."
and reverses the position assumed towards
Slate authorities' by tbe Circuit Jud:e Bond,
w!m caused certain of them to be imprisoned
for disobeying; a restraining order forbidding
them to bring suits for the collection of
taxes in casus where tenders have been made
of lax receivable coupons cut from Sta'e
Kinds. The Supreme Court in other words,
now decides that the Federal power cannot
be legally exercised to prevent tlie State of
Virginia from pursuing any course she may
choose with regard to her State debt, which
was a contract made, not by individuals
with individuals, but by outside individuals
with a State. The imprisoned officials are,
therefore, discharged ; and the effect of the
decision, in the second place, upon the debt
question, will undoubtedly be to settle that
question finally and forever. The English
creditors will now probably accept the set
tlement offered them hy the last Legislature
of Virginia, and thus end this vexatious
matter.
The other decision was of yet greater im
portance, sustaining, as it did, the constitu
tionality of the prohibitory law of Kansas.
It will be remembered that this was regarded
as a test case, involving the right of a State
or other community to pass laws calculated
to break up an established business, like
that of liquor selling. It was claimed on be
half of the liquor interest, that in coses
where liquor seller's business had been in
terferred with by such laws, they were
entitled to compensation, and that proh ihi
tory laws were unconstitutional, because
they abridged the liberty of the citize-u and
destroyed his property without due cause.
The Court held that the right of determining
w hat measures are necessary for the preserva
tion of the public morals, health and sat'ety
had therefore been vested in the States by
the constitutional right given them under
the police power to regulate their own in
ternal concerns. The State of Kansas bad a
right to prohibit the liquor traffic. It did
not thereby take away the projierty oftlie
brewers. It simply abated a nuisance. The
preqierty is not taken away from its owners ;
they are only prohibited from using it for a
siecific purpose which the Legislature de
clared to be injurious to the comniiity. If
the Supreme Court hail sustained this claim
it is hardly possible to estimate the- conse
quence. The damages due to liquor sellers
in States where prohibitory laws have been
already enforced would have probably mount
ed into hundreds of millions of dollars, in
volving many communities and States in
prospective bankruptcy ; the Prohibition
party would have been given its coup cle
grace, and there would have been othei im
portant and far-reaching coiisequcneses. lint
the Supreme Court, it apjwars, decides the
other way. It says Justices Harlan de
livering the opinion that a State, in the
exercise of its police power, has a right to 1
suppress the liquor traffic, if it considers that
tartlic subversive of public -aceor morality j
and that in that case the iarties whose bust- ;
ness is injured have no claim to damage or j
conqiensation. This will undoubtedly rank '
in future as a notable elecisiun and prtce- i
dent. j
In the case of William H. Council colored j
vs. the Western & Atlantic Railniad Com- '
pan v. the inter-suite commerce commission !
has decided that colored people may Is; i
assigned separate cars on equal terms, iih-
out el:sn.lvnr.tn..'e' to eillie-r r.ie-e. and with

pcrs. Literally Roasted Alive.
WliKELl.xei, W. V., lhf. !. John llaer
ty, an employe of the Wheeling Ceiniiwny's
steel p!mit, met with an a.rideiit this morn
ing, which, wliile Icavini; liim with a slentle-r
hold ttsin life, wus of the most horrible na
ture. Hagjwrty is a shear man, and stciKsl
t-Kt close to a pair of mils just us a white hot
icteel ingeit had been passeel between tlie-m.
He wus knocked, down and the ingot, from
which little rivulets of melted steel were
tricking, slid across his Is sly. Huggerty
was not noticed however, mid the inpit was
reversed anil again asse-d through the mils,
resting as licfore upon the Hsir man's body.
It was then that he wus first seen, hut not
until lie hud placed his naked battels against
the hot metal, and attempted t push the
irntit from him.
When re'inoved the hones were sticking
through the flesh, which was litterully fried
and was hanging from him in shreds. At
Ida Ml knee, where the prolmdhif; Isine
come in remind with the igneit, it is burned
lo a brown color. His iUmuIi is a question
of but a lew hours.
Another Plea for Weston.
Hakkisri:ku, IV, IVo. 8. An application
to the Pardon I'ounl for a rehearing in ti.e
rase of Milton Weston was filiHi to day by
Mayor Mcf'allin ami Colonel Uniy, of Pitts
burg. The reasons given are dial the im
prisonment Weston has siilli-rcd is sufficient
punishment, and that al the former hearing
opponents of the application gave as a rea
son against pardon thai Weston shonM have
been convicted of a higher grade of crime
than involuntary manslaughter, whereas
the finding of the jury should lie taken as
conclusive on that point.
