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.

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.

Made by Lawyer "Weeks.
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

ruled that Moliueux might be heard

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

"As for the theories which the prose
