FRIDAY, JUNE 21, 1901.

SENATOR ALLISON, of Iowa, will not be a candidate for the Republican Presidential nomination in 1901. One more man is out of the. way of the inevitable Roosevelt.

MR. BRYAN is preparing a religious address to deliver at the summer Chautauquas. Mr. Bryan is possibly preparing to break into the ministry in case he fails of a third nomination.

SOMEHOW South America manages to maintain a big balance of trade against this country. The rush for Panama hats adds to the strain. Why is there no Yankee machine to pour out Panamas that would discount the original?

MR. BRYAN'S Omaha organ says he will not be a candidate again unless his election is certain. Jones, of Arkansas, proclaimed that it was a sure thing before. So did Bryan himself, and Stone, and hundreds of others. They may make another miscalculation.

ONE prominent Democrat argues that there could be no objection to nominating Mr. Cleveland again, since he has been out of office for some time. True to its habit, the Democratic party inclines toward a third term because Republicans reject it.

FOR the benefit of an alarmed and anxious public we take pleasure in stating that the color of the paint which is being put on the court house tower will be in sight only a few days. It is a prime coat merely and horses may be driven on Main and Washington street without fear in a couple of weeks. The final color will be that 6f stone.

THE Indianapolis Sentinel suggests Judge Harlan as a possibility for the Democratic Presidential nomination in 1904. As Harlan has been a Republican all his life the suggestion seems to carry with it the admission that there is a woeful lack of suitable Presidential material in the ranks of the Democratic party. While the public has long been conversant of this fact it is with surprise the people note its admission by the Sentinel.

SPEAKING of college graduates the New York Tribune says: "Perhaps the most important lesson for these graduates to learn isthatthey do not as yet fulfil the requirements of the term 'educated.' No person ever escapes from a college or a university without hearing from some one a discussion of the duty of educated men and women in the affairs of the world, in politics, in the professions, in business. If the college president does not take this as his subject for an address, it is at least treated by one of the class orators. But the graduate must recognize sooner or later that young men and women just out of college are in no sense educated men and women. The possibilities of education have in a measure been pointed out to them, nothing more. But this should not be in the least discouraging. There is plenty of time to learn, if they begin soon enough. Most men of scholarly accomplishments, except perhaps specialists, acquire their scholarship after graduation, not before."

Birthday Party.

'S FATE

Now Rests With the Seven Men Who Constitute Court of Appeals.

THE ARGUMENT CLOSED

Ex-Senator David B. Hill Makes An Impassioned Plea On JBehalf of the People.

The Ceurt Will Not Give Down Its Decision Until It Sits I11 the Fall.

Buffalo, N. Y., June 20.—The fate of Roland B. Molineux, convictcd of murder as the poisoner of Mrs. Katherine J. Adams at New York in December, 1S9S, is in the keeping of the seven judges of the court of appeals, who for three dnys past listened to the arguments for and agalust new trial. The appeal was finally submitted late yesterday afternoon, and the decision will not be announced until some mouths lieuce, when the court sits at Albany for the fall term.

The strange crime with its complicated plot and manifold mystery retains a strong hold upon popular interest. The crowd that sought admission to the courtroom yesterday ..was larger and more determined than ever, and the bailiffs had to resort to force to restrain the multitude. The principal speaker was former United States Senator Hill, advocate of the cause of the people, wbo had three hours and fifteen minutes of his allotted time left. John G. Milburn, attorney for Molineux, was beard for 20 minutes In concise reply.

Mr. Hill was again foroeful and eloquent. He declared tnat the question of guilt was the main issue in the case and warned tha court not to heed a plea that dealt in technicality, and urged objections to acts and rulings that had not substantially affected the rights of tbe accused. If th« 'courts were to be thus swerved from the pathway of duty he suggested that the murderers might organize a trost and all enjoy freedom. In a dissertation on the law he led the court down a long line of authorities and decisions, all aimed at sustaining the use of the Barnet evidence and the policy of the lower court toward the exhibits of handwriting at the trial. In this admirable story he made frequent reference to the famous Tichborne case in England, tracing a similarity in the admission of certain writings to prove perjury on the part of the luckless claimant and the policy of obstruction on the part of tho defense.

In finally summing up, Mr. Ilill reviewed the points made by him the day before and step by step traced out the main features of the theory of the people. lie reviewed the correspondence with the patent medicine dealers and proclaimed Molineux as the author of the letters, the enemy of Harry Cornish and Henry C. Baruet, the compounder of the rare cyanide of mercury used in both crimes and the man who mailed the fatal potion that killed Mrs. Adams.

Mr. Milburn's reply was largely devoted to an answer to personal criticism find particularly to Mr. Hill's allusion to tho fact that through_ all his speech he had not once expressed his personal conviction of the innocence of the man for whom I10 pleaded. The strongest nature of the reply was the indication of three points of weakness in the case of the people. He drew attention to the fact that the claim that Henry C. Barnet had received poison rested solely upon the hearsay testimony of Dr. Douglass, also that Molineux had not bought the bottle holder, and had not been identified as the man who hired tho Koch letterbox without which it was impossible, Mr. Milburn said, to fix guilt upon him.

Got It Before the Jury.

New York, June 20.—The case of Thomas G. Barker, on trial at Jersey City,

NN.

J., for shooting Rev. John

Keller, may go to tne jury this evening. The defense had finished when the court rose last evening. Barker and his wife were on the stand yesterday. They told their story, so far as the court would allow answers to the questions of counsel for the defense, and, although the record does not show it, got reference to the alleged assault before the jury in one way and another, though "nature of assault" was not brought out. The witnesses answered so promptly that objections came late. In this way "the outrage" was referred to several times during the day. The state had it stricken out each time, but the impression went to the jury.

A MIXED, CIIOWD

Various Political Sects Get Together 1 For Bryan. Kansas City, June 20.—"The Allied third party" movement, which its promoters hope will result before 1904 in a national organization strong enough to name a presidential nominee, was launched here yesterday afternoon. It was the outcome^ of a conference of reformers from the ranks of the old parties, and its principles are said by some to have been adopted with a view to fitting the views of William J. Bryan.

The conference was called by Lee Merriwether of St. Louis, who with 22 other St. Louis lenders in the public ownership party of that city, came to Kansas City after a visit to^lr. Bryan at Lincoln, where the intentions of the delegation had boon laid before the Nebraska statesman. Mr. Bryan, it was stated, had expressed sympathy with the movement, if lie had not gone so far as to support it. At the conference there vere Populists of all persuasions, public ownership advocates, free silver Republicans, Social ists, Single-t.axors and Bryan Democrats. It was stated that it was proposed to form a third party in Missouri, which should finally be taken up' by the dissatisfied in the old parties from other states.

President Is Asked to Withhold His Proclamation.

Washington, June 20.—Former Congressman Springer, who is counsel for the Kiowa, Comanche and Apache Indians in their suit to enjoin the secretary of the interior from opening up to settlement the reservations in Oklahoma, has filed with the president a memorial praying that he exercise his discretion under the law and withhold the issuance of bis proclamation for six months after the final allotments to the Indians are made, and thus give congress an opportunity fo repeal the present law. The memorial says that. Lone Wolf, one of the chiefs of the Kiowas, is a Baptist minister, and that others of the Indians are Christians, and prays that the president will not send these men back to tell the members of their tribe that a Christian country would defraud them of their lands.

Mr. Springer says if the lower court refuses an injunction the case will be carried to the supreme court of the United States.
