Gorman allows that the republicans will have things so fixed by the cloee of this session that if Bryan was elected president, he could do no harm to the business interests of the coun try so far as monkeying with the cur rency is concerned. Hence he says he can promise to vote for Bryan, any way. But, as he admits he voted for Bryan the other time, before congress had fixed thing9, when his election would have plunged the country into still deeper abysses of bankruptcy and rule, his pledge isn't of any great value with the explanation attached. In short, Gorman is one of those peo ple who would rather have the demo crats in office than to see the country sane and prosperous. State Journal. INFORMATION AND OPINION. The news comes floating over from Plattsmouth that several of the lead ing politicians of the city are worrying themselves needlessly in trying to find some healing salve to apply to Stove Creek precinct, ("its the banner re publican precinct of the county, you know,") at the county convention this falL Elm wood Leader-Echo. A political syndicate of five families controls the subdivision of Chicago known as South Town, and shakes the plum tree with great regularity and persistency.

Colorado solnns have framed a bill regulating marriage and providing for physical examinations before the cere mony.

The im mortal declaration protects every one in "pursuit of happiness," and by the eternal no kopful state shall abridge it. A London correspondent who visited the Boer laager near Korvalspont says he found the burghers daily engaged in athletic sports, and nightly in meet ings of their debating society, singing and prayer. They seem also to begiD the dy with a religious service at 4 o'clock in the morning, when in fixed camp, followed by coffee at o o clock. Of drill or military exercise, says the correspondent, there seems to be little or none beyond what is necessary for the construction of trenches and the sentries and ammunition guards at night.

The pi ice ofthe cheaper grades of coal has dropped from 50 to 75'cents per ton. Steam coal that has been selling for $3 per ton is now sold at $5.50. A number of higher crrades of coal have also dropped in price. The ! coal dealers explain this by saying that the price has been cut at the ' mines and that tbey are merely giving patrons the advantage of the more fa vorable buying price.- They attribute the cut in the better condition a now of men to do 'he mining. The reeui is the output is larger and the mine owners are trying to find a market for the fuel. This decrease in price will benefit many people who use the lower grades cf coal. One coal dealer said that some of the larger steam plants in the city would save from $25 to $50 per month by the cut in price. California's new senator is a Bard of much renown, but be is not the only bard on that political reservation. One of the sweet singers of the sunny land is State Senator Boyce of Ven tura, where the new senator hails from. In an apostrophe to the elect, Boyce said. "He is every inch a senator. And when he represents this golden empire in that exalted body,which Las been called 'An Assembly of Kings,' at the capital of our nation, every true Californian will have reason to be proud of the selection this day made by the republican party of this state. He will exemplify the words of that wisest of men: 'Seest thou a man dili trent in his business? He shall etasd before kings, he shall not stand before mean men.'

A woman invariably puts her best foot backward when she gots off the car. Unless you make up your mind to do a thing the chances are you will never do it. It's wrong to flirt but it doesn't seem so to those who are eugaged in it at the time. Lnless a man has an excoptonally good memory he will never become a successful liar.

The modern man is becoming afraid of marriage the woman demands too much. As a usual thing the parties to a love affair say "farewell forever" six times in three weeks. If you must quarrel, make it to hot for the opposition that he will suggest a compromise and peace.

An Kriltor's IJfe .Saved by Chanilerlatns Cough Remedy. During the early part of October, 1896, I contracted a bad cold which settled on my lungs and was neglected until I feared that consumption had appeared in an incipient state. I was constantly coughing and trying to ex pal something which I could not. I became alarmed, and after giving the local doctor a trial bought a bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy and the result was immediate improvement, and after I had used three bottles my lungs were restored to their healthy state. 15.

New York, Feb. 17. There was a dramatic scene In Recorder Goff'scourt yesterday when Roland B. Molineux was brought in to be sente ed to death. After the court was called to order Lawyer Weeks, the prisoner's counsel, moved for a new trial on the ground that the verdict was contrary to the law and the evidence. lie read ten grounds for his application for a new trial, basing them chiefly on the legal exceptions taken to tne evidence and the rulings of the recorder. As soon as he handed in his exceptions Weeks asked that the defendant be permitted to speak iu his own behalf. To this Recorder Guff at first demurred, saying that the request was unusual, but final ly, after some discussion with eeks, ruled that Moliueux might be heard Molineux Talks to the Court. Moliueux straightened nimself tip and began: "I thank your honor. Of the crime for which I stand convicted. and for still another crime with which I am charged, I am absolutely and en tirel.v innocent. All of the evidence The court You are not charged with any other crime. The defendant I suppose that might refer to it, since the district at torney did in his opening and closing argument. The court Your counsel has attend cd to all that matter. Some Evidence Not Pointing; to Guilt. 1 lie defendant ery well, your honor. All of the evidence produced here does not iioint in the direction of guilt on my part. I refer especially to the evidence of Miss Miller in regard to the purchase of that silver bottlehold er; she did not sell It to me. Also to the evidence of Mr. Koch, respecting the letter box hired by a somebody in the name of Harry Cornish it was not hired by me. Also to the evidence giv en by Mr. Kutnow, respecting sample boxes sent around the country by his firm none of which came to me. Nor did I possess at any time any of the instruments which appear to have been used in this crime, and I never for one moment had a murderous motive. CONVICTED MY YELLOW JOURNALS. Prisoner Savs They Put a Price on His Heud Dintritt Attorney Denounced. "As for the theories which the prose cution offers, I do not think I should be convicted upon their suppositions or the guesses they may wish to indulge in. I cannot conceive, your honor, how any honest man can believe the testi niony of Nicholas Ileckmau. who con vieted nie upon an identification which was for sale. Yellow journalism put a price upon my head. It was an in vltatiou.to every blackmailer, every perjurer, every rogue, every man with out principle, but with a price, and to that invitation Mr. Ileckuiann re sponded. "The handwriting experts who have testified against me, your honor, may give their opinion, they may give their reasons what they believe, what they think but I know that these bands never put pen to paper to address that poison package or to write the dis puted letters. Your honor will not permit us to make mention of the great injustice, which is a matter of history; but exerts in handwriting have made mistakes before, and they have repeated it here. "Your honor, all this is nothing to what is in my heart at this moment Above and beyond everything else I denounce and despise the action of the district attorney in attempting to vil lify and attack the character of the pure and lovely woman who bears my name. It was the act of a blackguard It was a damnable lie. Jow, your honor, I am prepared to hear yon sen tence rue. I am not afraid, because I am not guilty." The recorder then sentenced Moli neux to die by electricity in the week of March 20. for the murder by poison of Mrs. Karherine J. Adams, Directly after sentence had been pronounced Molineux was taken back on his way to the Tombs. Almost tefore he had left the court room Mr. Battle served notice of appeal upon District Attor ney Gardiner and upon the chief clerk, Sing Sing, N. Y., Feb. 17. Roland B. Molineux is now in a condemned cell in the death house at Sing Sin prison, having arrived here yesterday afternoon. Molineux appeared cool and did not seem to notice the crowd.
