The Case la Now Deferred Until the De cember Terra of Court--Tho "Herald's" Special Representative Visits Knox- vllle and Furnishes Some Facts. Special to Kveniso HEitAt.n. PlTTsnuitfi, Nov. 10, 11:30 n. m. No llttlo surpriso was occasioned to Superintendent Hogart, liis lawyors and friends this morning when tlio certainty of a trial of Ills case was suddonly changed Into a postponement until tho next torm of court. At 0:30 this morning, all tho principals lawyers and witnesses appeared in tho court room and tho caso was willed, hut tho Judge announced that ho was ill and ho did not know when ho would ho ahlo to proceed. Superintendent liogart's lawyers were ready and anxious to proceed, hut they wero powerless to do anything In face of tho court's announcement and tho District At torney stated that tho cn'o would go over to tho next term. Special fo Evi-SINfi IlKKAi.n. Pittsabiki, Nov. IS, 7:30 p. m. lly per sistent cllbrts on tho part of tho counsel for Prof. C. 1). liogart, tho Commonwealth has at last consented to hring tho ca'o to trial. It will he called tho first thing to-morrow (Thursday) morning, and tho jury will he selected from a full panel of sixty. The counsel for tho dcfeno will, if nccossary, take ndvantago of their constitutional right of challenge Tho friends of Prof, liogart havo hecomo dissatisfied witli tho manner in which tlio Commonwealth has delayed tho case, and tho information received lato this evening to the effect that it would ho called first to-morrow was received by them witli a great deal of satisfaction. This agreement was reached this afternoon as a result of a conference lietwecn tho at torneys of both sides. The District Attorney may ho excused somewhat in tho delay by the fact that tho criminal calendar has been large, and that the Judges aro anxious to closo tho term this week. For this reason it was thought that the liogart caso would go over until tho December term, but that has now been avoided, and the trial will proceed to-morrow. For this all parties interested aro dovoutly thankful. Tho caso will prob ably occupy but one day, going to tlio jury to-morrow night. Tlio IlmsALD representative has inter viewed a number of tho citizens of 'Knox villo in reference to the charges preferred' against Superintendent liogart, and finds tlio statements of Messrs. Prico and Ileddall, in their repoit to tho Shenandoah School Hoard last July, to bo substantiated in every parti cular. Tho flvo members of tho School Hoard of Knoxvillo aro especially emphatic in denial of cortain statements made by tlio other side. Whatever limy bo the outcomo of tho trial, it is certain that Messrs. Prico and Ileddall inado a truo and impartial state ment to the Hoard. Tbisyourrcpresentalivo has fully substantiated by personal interviews with tho parties concerned 011 both sides. In conversation with James C. Ihving, n member of tho Knoxvillo School Hoard who is a highly educated gentleman and stands high in Knoxvllle, he 6tated to-day that tho only charge that can successfully bo mado against Prof, liogart is that of indiscretion ; that, in tho opinion of himself and four othor members of tho School Hoard, tho Superin tendent was Innocent of tlio charges pre ferred. In this conversation Mr. Ilwing said : "When Clam Vatcs mado tho statement to her parents, Mr. Vatcs was very indignant, and before reporting tho matter to the Hoard repeated tho child's story in tho presence of outsiders. In a very brief tiuio exaggerated and scandalous statements of tho story ob tained circulation. Mr. Vatos appeared be fore our Hoard and, after a thorough discus sion of tho matter by tho members, requested that tho mutter bo dropped, and that no further action betaken ; tha,t his daughter's subsequent statements did nut ugrco with tho first 0110 slid made on the morning subsequent to tho evening on which tlio supposed crime was said to havo occurred. This tlio llonid refused to do, owing to tho story having gained circulation. Prof, liogart, at his own suggestion and that of some of tlio members of our Hoard, tendered Ills resignation, which whs accepted, owing to the exaggerated rumors having been given such publicity. Tills action was taken, owing to the belief that Prof, liogart's uscfulnuss hero would bo greatly impaired by tli rejiorts as circuI11t.1l "Witli the single exception of Director Hayly ( who bad a personal grievance against Hogart) nut one other member of the li;tid U'lieves the Superintendent guilty, I, for one, would never have allowed him to re sign had we believed otherwise, but would liuvo dismissed him without ceremony. I'nif. Hogart is an exceptionally callable Superintendent, and during hit two years with us brought our schools from tho second lowest iir the county to a very high state of elliciency, and we wcie loth to part with him. His character has always been above reproach, and has nover given us grounds for a contrary opinion, Had not the enemies of Mr. liogart made so because of his rigid en forcement of the school rules without favor taken advantage of those rumors and ex aggerated them, ho would still bo in our schools, and for tho good of tho schools I sincerely regret that such Is not the case. It is also (0 lie regretted (hat tlio malicious circulation of llicso stories has reached your town. You will find in Prof. Hogart an exceptionally flue disciplinarian. Ills educa tional qualifications aro of the beet." Mr. Luing greatly impressed ills Inter viewer and was vory emphatic In his utfcrRiiees. Tlio ahovo statement, at least tho material points, wore fully substantiated by conversations had liy tho HKiiAM) repre sentative Willi other citizens of Knoxvillc. Mr. r.wlug also vouchsafed tho information that he had been approached in an intimidat ing manner by some of those opposed to Prof. Hogart. llo was requosted to meet tho party at'a sulieoqiicnt time, which ho refused to do. Ho would not say, however, who tho party was that approached him. Yesterday a trip was mado to Knoxvillo for tho purpose of corroborating, if necessary, tlio report of Messrs. Price and Ileddall. It so happened that when I hoarded the trolley ear, wo found Mr. and Mr. Vates and their daughter, Clara, who prefers tho charges, Mr. and Mrs. Haily, tlio personal enemies of 1'rof. Hogart, and one or two others. From the conversation had with theso people, it is evident that Messrs. Vntos and Haily havo been misled by stories told them. Mr. Haily introduced his wifo as "tho old hag," ex plaining that Mr. Hogart had used that term in reforenco to her in Shenandoah, quoting tho Coal street sheet as his authority, and said tho paper Is being sont to lilm regularly blncu tli trouble began. It will bo remem bered that Superintendent Hogart, when he first appeared before the Hoard, did say that stories corcoinliig him were circulated by "an old hag who lived down in the hollow," and tills remark was so published in the ItKRAi.nnt that time, llo could not havo rcforred to Mrs. Haily. howeier, for she docs not reside in that locality. She would not bo persuaded, however, and said sho saw it in the Coal street sheet. During tho journey on tlie trolly car Mrs. Vates wws inclined to bo abusive, and said your representative was a friend of Prof. Hogart, notwithstanding I stated that I was nut particularly such, hut that my mission was to see that juslico should ho dono tho accused man in view of tlio interest tlio people of Shenandoah had in tho matter. The Vates family is just as represented to tho School Hoard at Shenandoah by Messrs. Hcddall and Price in their report after a visit hero; and they did not exaggerate their statements an iota concerning tlio family, .Mr. Vates treated 1110 courteously, but ho is evidently dominated by his wife, who took him from mo and would not allow him to talk after arrival at their home. I visited tlio school building at Kuoxvillc, mak jug a special examination of tho room in which tho assault is alleged to havo been committed, both inside and from the street, and it is'ciear to my mind that no sane man would attempt an assault in such a place. I also met tho School Directors of Knox villo and they say the resignation of Superin tendent Hogart was not demanded. Thoy are in attendance at tho court to appear us witnesses on tlio trial.

Mr. Watterson Asserts That Their Alli ance With Republicans Cannot be Permanent-Past History a Lesson. Paiiis, Nov. la Hon. Henry Watter son, editor of the Louisville Cnurlcr-Jottr- lull, who was prominently urged for the nomination for the presidency nt tho In (Unniipolls convention, but whoso name we,s formally withdrawn, 1ms remained In this city Rlncx.1 tho election. His iows upon tho result of tho nntlonnl campaign just closed have been furnished In tho fol lowing; revised interview: "Tho election of MeKlnley," paid Mr. Watterson, "is but the lioglnnliiR of tlio end of tho struggle which one way or an othor has been going on In tho United States for twenty years. It begun In the west mm south with n doiuand for flat nuinoy. No sooner was tho fireonlmck party disposed of than tho Froo Silver party took its plnco. "Tho lenders of the lint money move ment, reinforced by tlio sllvor mine own ers, finally nuido tin incision Into tho Ke publican party and (jot possession of tho machinery of tho Democratic party. This culminated In the nomination ami dofont of Mr. Hrynn. With that tlefont ends tho freo silver frenzy nnd tho dangor of a 111 to 1 kind. Hut tho elements of disorder It has called into being and tho agrarian issues it has set In motion are left upon tho sceno, nnd wo may bo suro that theso will continue their assaults upon the llfo of the nation and tho integrity of tho poo plo until they nro swept out of oxlstenro In WW. Mr. McKinley's election settles nothing. It merely roiunvos flat money nnd depreciated silver dollars." Mr. Watterson was asked if tho union lwtween tho gold Democrats ami tho Ito puhlicuns could last, mid ho replied: "I do not see how It can. Tlio differ ences are too doctrinal and radical. Mr. MeKlnley is mi extremo protectionist. Tho sound money Democrats are sincere re formers. Certainly statesmanship is lnrgo ly an nffalr of compromises. Hat to bo effectual nnd beneficial thu compromise-; must bu logical and just. Nothing could bo more deslniblo than n union among nil law abiding, order loving citizens against whatovcrmid whoever threaten tho inter ests of tho country. Tlio Ilryan men did produce such a union, llrynnlsui was simply inobblsm, and before such an Is sue, whenever raised, party distinctions must vanish from tho minds of patriotic men. Hut the immediate ihiugerover, tho original disagreements are bound to re appear. no itopublloan party cannot rest Us ense upon tho doctrine of protection. Neither us n pulley, nor as a theory, nor 11s 11 keynote, can protectionism hold Its own or stand alone. It is at war with the g.-nlus of American Institutions. It should bu no longer necessary, if it over wits truly nec essary, to tho American manufacturer. It is the father of paternalism and the fiod futher of Populism. It sots examples 10 thoso who imagine that wealth may bo created by legislation. "Thoughtful men should not bo lulled Into fancied security because wo huvoovor coino tho dragon of repudiation. Tho gor gon of ugrurianism is yet abroad. The Hrynn movement was most dangerous be cause it affected to speak In tho nauio of tho pooplo. Tho whulo pooplo must como to see that there havo boun mighty changes going on in tho world. "In lbOO, and under tho leadership of Thomas Jefferson, tho princlplo of Demo cratic government began Its real fight for llfo. Tlio issuo then was, 'aro tho pooplo capable of self government?' If .Tulferson had fulled tho Federalist party would havo gone on suppressing Individual lib erty nnd consolidating tho central power until wo should havo had 11 republic only in name. Hut Jefferson succeeded, nnd trio written law of tho land, strictly con strued, was secured to tho pooplo. "In 1000 wo shall havo to fuco tho samo question In a, now form, and tho issuo will be, undcroxlstingcondltions: 'Aroordorly governments and popular government concurrent possibilities?

Wo may tear down the houso, but, cannot nt nno and tho samo tlmo lioth destroy It and ocoupy It. That Is what Mr. Hrynn and his followers aro pn lending that they can do.
