Congressman" Hall s assertion that eieht senators voted for free silver after having privately ex pressed the opinion that it meant ruin in case it became a law would be more interesting- if it included the names of such persons; and charges of that sort should not be made unless the accuser is ready to specify the guilty parties. AVe wonder if our honorable board of county commissioners pro cured the opinion of the county attorney as to whether "The Inde pendent Era and the Wallace Her- ald"is a legal .newspaper as contem plated in the statute adopted by the last legislature? But of course Beeler being an interested party it is douDttul whether his opinion should be accepted as final. Morton's candidacy is - indoi sed by the New York Republican State j Committee, which means that all, or nearly all, of that state's dele- Lgation will cast its vote for him on the first ballot. Beyond that bal- -a a -- lot all is conjecture. ihe age handicap, of course, will weaken Morton in the dther states. Yet nobody doubts that ie has the mental and moral equipment to! make a satisfactory- president. The Glasgow Herald is authority for the statement that Gladstone will again stand for parliament in order to support the aid for the Arme nians.

Grand Jury Preparing Indictments Against Jackson and Walling;. Cincinnati, Feb. 11. Jackson and Walling, after a somewhat exciting first day in jail, are reported to .be m good spirits today, It looks as if the men trill shortly bo taken to Newport for trial. -The grand jury is now in session and it is hearing evidence in the case. The prosecnting attorney is already pre paring indictments. Besides this, Gov ernor Bradley has sent a special officer to Newport-to-gefc the facts with, a view to the issuance of a demand for the ex tradition of the prisoners. While the officers of Campbell county, Ky., are confident that they can protect the prisoners m Kentucky, and while citizens of Newport resent the imputa tion of lawlessness, it is still the com mon notion that little would be left fox the court to do with these prisoners if they should be placed in the Newport jail. Scott Jackson today gave a written statement about his bloody ooat found in the sewer. He claims that Walling wore his clothing on the night of the murder. A special from Greencastle, Ind., says that no confidence is placed in the state ment of Miss Hollingsworth of Indian apolis. She is an intimate friend of Jackson's.

Accept Ambassador Eustls Instructed to the Offer JIade by France. Washington, Feb. 13. Ambassador Eustis has been instructed to accept the offer of the French government to release ex-United States Consul Waller frm further imprison mcnt and pardon his offense on condition that the affair be thereby terminated as between France and the United States, and that the latter make no claim in behalf of the prisoner based upon his arrest, convic tion or imprisonment. Waller may, however, sue in the French courts for damages for ill treatment. Theseacts, showing the amicable termination of the celebrated Waller incident, appear in the correspondence sent to both houses of congress today by the presi dent in answer to resolutions of inquiry upon the subject. Secretary Olney says that there is no doubt whatever of Waller's guilt, that "the evidence fully sustains the charge, ' ' and no court could have hesitated to condemn him. Triday, Feb. 7.

In his speech the other night be fore the alumni of an Eastern col lege. Senator Hawley, of Con necticut, said there is danger of culture becoming separated from manhood in our young men. In every emergency which has con fronted this country the British government has been our enemy. It is pushing us on every side now, trying to straddle the Nicaragua canal and to grab the Alaskan gold fields. The British hold upon India began with a trading com pany and one warship, and now India is a British possession. Sen ator Hawlley conteuds that this country must be readyto fight. and that, whether the Monroe . doctrine is international law or not, it is our law of national defense, and we must stand by it.
