The Democracy should engage Counsellor Sim Coy 'to defend some of tho acts of tho last Legislature in the Supreme Court. He has been reading up on constitutional law.

The Democratic party in Kentucky is as vigorously canvassing tho State as if there were opposition to their ticket. They are afraid that tho Republicans will take them by surprise some way. "One hundred millions a year for these Hessians" is the way the Louisville Courier-Journal puts tho appropriation for pensions. But that is nothing new;" it is only another way of saying "Lincoln's hirelings.7' And the C.-J.'s objection is the samo as Mr. Voorhees's "not another dollar.7' A proposition has been raado.that on the 9th of April next we should hold a grand national celebration of the quarter centennial of tho establishment of peace through tho surrender of General Lee. It is not a bad idea, and under good management might bo made an interesting and impressive event. Indiana is divided into two internal revenue districts, the Sixth and Seventh. Last year tho Sixth district paid $2,C07,4G1 of revenue and the Seventh district paid $1,417,777. The compensation of tho collector in each district is $4,500. Tho total expense of collecting the revenue in this district last year was 801,512.' It grieves the free-traders to bo confronted by & "situation" which demolishes their "theories." The Louisville Courier-JournaU referring to the increase of imports for May of 0,000,000 over tho corresponding imports a year ago, has to concedo that our exports during the same period were $1,000,000 more than the imports, notwithstanding tho heavy shipments of bullion. Now, bullion is as much an American product as wheat is. Why not count that among our exports, also? Rut tho C.-J. grieves greatly about tho tariff, and says that, great as has been tho increase of imports tluring tho year ending Juno 30, it would have been twice as great but for the tariff. "Would our exports have been twice as great, also? If not, how would wo havo paid tho balance against us? You see, dear C.-J., tho "situation" smashes yonr "theory" every time. The appointment of J. H. Manley as postmaster at Augusta, Me., has been censured by mugwumps as a political one. As usual, however, tho censure is unmerited. Mr. Manley was postmaster when the Democratic administration took control, four years ago, and was acknowledged to be the best postmaster Augusta ever had. Resides, there was good cause other than political for the removal of Fowler, tho lato Democratic incumbent. A thorough examination of tho office was recently mado by department inspectors from Washington, and they were much dissatisfied with tho manner in which it had been conducted. Mail frequently lay in the office from two to three weeks without being "worked." A representative of one of Augusta's largo publishing houses watched a piece of mail matter pent into the office, and three weeks and one day elapsed before it was disposed of. Civilservice reform does not contemplate tho continuance of such management as that. If English newspapers are indulging the illusion that a paper trust cannot bo worked successfully in that country by reason of free-trade, they may wake up bomo lino morning and find themselves badly mistaken. Trusts are worked as successfully in England as they aro in tho United States. Capitalists are as greedy there as they are here, and they operate in much the samo way. Trusts, corporations and syndicates aro a natural outgrowth of accumulated wealth and high commercial conditions. They exiat in all civilized countries and under all forms of government. They are ono of the necessary evils of high civilization. They never cau be wholly prevented, and the most that can be hoped is to restrict their growth and reduco tho evil to a minimum. Even this is a very difficult problem, and one not to be solved with a sledge-hammer. If English capitalists want to form a paper trust they can do it easily enough. It is only a question of money and nerve. The eloquent Henry W. Grady, of tho Atlanta Constitution, addressed tho alumni of tho University of Virginia last Tuesday. The Charleston News find Courier says it was tho best effort of his brilliant life. It was a departure from tho ordinary literary orations, for he sailed into politics from the word go. His denunciations of "the centralizing influences of government and of money in this country" were fearful. Without naming tho late Democratic Indiana Legislature, he thus referred to it:

"Stripping the many of their rights and aggrandizing the few; distrusting tho people, but in touch with the plutocrats; striking down local self-government and dwarfing the citizen' that is a lifelike picture of Indiana Democracy. Tho Mississippi bulldozers must have sat for the following: "The centralist and tho monopolist; tho strong government protecting the money power; hand in hand, compact and organized, one creating tho necessity, the other meeting it; consolidating wealth and centralizing government." It must require backbone to assail such wrongs against the people in Democratic Virginia.

BIM0H CAMERON'S SAGACITY. The death of Gen. Simon Cameron has recalled tho fact that, as a member of President Lincoln's first Cabinet, he was more sagacious and far-sighted in his views concerning tho. probable magnitude of the war than any of his colleagues, or than Mr. Lincoln himself. In his first annual report, in tho faU of 18G1, ho included these paragraphs: It is vain and idle for tho government to carry on this war, or hope to maintain its existence against rebellious force, without employing all tho rights and powers of war. As has been said, tho right to deprive the rebels of their property in slaves and slave labor is as clear and absolute as the right to take forage from the field or cotton from the warehouse, or powder and arms from the magazine. To leave the enemy in the possession of such property as forage, and cotton, and military stores, and the means of constantly reproducing them, would be madness. It is, therefore, equal madness to leave them in peaceful and secure possession of slave property, more valuable and more efficient to them for war than forage, cotton and military stores. Such policy would bo national suicide. What to do with that species of property is a question that time and circumstance will solve, and need not bo anticipated further than to repeat that they cannot be held by the government as slaves. It would be useless to keep them as prisoners of war, and selfpreservation, the highest duty of a government or of individuals, demands that they should be disposed of or employed in the most effective manner that will tend most speedily to suppress the insurrection and restore the authority of the government. If it shall be found that the men who have been held by the rebels as slaves are capable of bearing arms and performing efficient military service, it is the right, and may become- the duty of the government to arm and equip them, and employ their services against the rebels, under proper military regulation, discipline and command. Hut in whatever manner they may be used by tho government it is plain that, once liberated hv the rebellious act of their masters, they should never again be reStored to bondage. Ry tho master's treason and rebellion he forfeits all right to the labor and servico of his slave; and the slave of the rebellious master, by his service to the government, becomes justly entitled to freedom and protection. The disposition to be made of the slaves of rebels after the close of the war can be safely left to the wisdom and patriotism of Congress. The representatives of the people will unquestionably secure to the loyal slaveholders every right to which they are entitled under tho Constitution of the country. These views were very radical for that period. The idea of preserving the Union with slavery still prevailed, and tho employment of the negroes as soldiers was not yet popular. Even Mr. Chase, the most anti-slavery member of tho Cabinet, was not prepared at that timo to adopt theso views, and Mr. Lincoln 60 far disapproved of them that he struck them out of the report before sending it to Congress. There was good pretext for this in tho fact that it was not' incumbent on the Secretrry of War to formulate a policy for tho government or commit tho administration to any lino of action on so important a subject All tho same, however, the suppressed passage shows that Mr. Cameron looked further ahead than any of those around him. SOME FACTS AND FIGURES. The Sentinel, replying to some re marks of tho Journal's, says: From 1850 to 1800 this couutry had the lowest tariff that has been in force siuco 1810. During this decade the number of manufacturing establishments increased lrom 123.025 to 140.1S3; the canital invested from $533,215,357 to $lfO0&855(725, or almost double; the average number of hands ernploj'ed from 957.059 to 1.311,216: the total amount paid in wages from $230,755,404 to 378.878,wO: the value of materials used from $3oT,123,823 to $1,031 ,fiO3,O02, or almost double; the value of product from $1,019,106,G1G to $1,885,801,070. In the State of Indiana the number of manufacturing institutions increased from to 5,323; tho capital invested from 7,750,402 to $18,451,121, or about 250 per cent; tho average number of hands einrdoved from 14.440 to 21.235: the total amount paid in wages from $3.?28.844 to So.318.SS5, or almost double; tho value of materials consumed from $10.59,700 to $27,142.597. or nearly treble; the value of product from $18,725,423 to 842,803,409, or about two aim cne-tmra times. These figures are cited by the Sentinel to prove the benefits of free trade as illustrated by the growth of manufacturmg. It is not true that from 18o0 to 1860 the country had the lowest tariff that had been in forco 6ince 1816. Tho tariff acts in force between 1850 and 18G0 were the act of July 30, 1846, which continued eleven years, and the act of March 3, 1857, which lasted till 1861. Both of these acts were Democratic measures, and were intended to pave the way for free trade, but they furnished moro pro tection thaii their framers intended. It is true, as the Sentinel says, that during tho ten years from 1850 to 1800 the number of manufacturing establish ments increased from 123,025 to 140,183; but from 1800 to 1870, under decided protection, they increased from 140,133 to 252,148. Tho increase during tho first decado was 17,108, and during the next decade 111,715. It is truo that manufact uring capital increased between 1850 and 1800 from $533,215,&57 to $1,009,855.715; but from 1800 to 1870, under de cided protection, it increased from 6l,009,a55,715 to $2,118,208,709. Tho average number of hands employed increased 354,1S7 between 1850 and 1800, and 742,750 between 1800 and 1870. The total amount paid in wages in 1870 was $775,54,343, against $378,878,900 in 1800. The value of manufactured products in creased $SCO,755,000 between 1850 and 1800, and from 1800 to 1870 it increased $2,o40,4C3,7CG. In the State of Indiana the number of manufacturing establishments did in crease between 1850 and 1800 from 4,393 to 5,823, but from 1800 to 1870 they increased from 5,323 to 11,847.- The invested capital, which increased $10,701,719 between 1850 . and 1800, increased $33,001,804 : between 1800 ' and 1870. Tho average number of hands employed . in the . manufacturing establishments of Indiana increased 0,855 between 1850 and 1SG0, and 37,507 between 18C0 and 1870. The total amount paid in wages was $18,366,780 in

1870, against $G,318,3S5 in 1SG0, and'

$3,723,844 in 1850. Tho value of manufactured products in tho State in 1850 was $18,725,423; in 1800, $42,803,400, and in 1S70, $108,017,278. Attempting to prove that protection has not developed and promoted tho manufacturing industry of this country is about like trying to prove that free schools do not encourage education and lessen illiteracy. The facts are all one way. MORE GOOD APPOINTMENTS. President Harrison has yet to make his first bad appointment in Indiana. If he does not in every instance meet tho expectations of all the applicants and their friends, he fully meets those of the Re publican party at large and of the pub lic service. His latest appointments to local offices maintain the record of ex cellence. That of Daniel M. Ransdell as marshal of the District of Columbia, foreshadowed' for some timo and now practically made, is one whose fitness; will be universally conceded. An enipty sleeve attests his military service, and to this he adds all the civil experience andpersonal qualifications demanded by tho position. "Dan" is universally popular, . and everybody who knows him will approve the appointment. Mr. Philip M. Hildebrand, who has been appointed surveyor of customs in this city, represents an clement of the Republican party that is eminently worthy of recognition the active, business men's element. The party owes much to that element, and tho President's recognition of tho fact is appropriate and timely. Mr. Hildebrand is a gentleman of excellent character and unquestioned fitness for the position. Any criticism of his appointment must bo made from purely selfish motives. The appointment of Maj. John 0. Cravens, as collector of internal revenue, like that of Ransdell, is a recognition of tho 6oldier element, and of individual merit. All these ap pointments aro first class in every re spect and will stand the test of criticism and of time. Manx persons are not aware that In dianapolis is a port of entry. Still fewer have an idea of the extent of the import ing business done here. . The report of the Register of the Treasury shows that during tho fiscal year ended June 30, 1888, the duties collected here amounted to $133,930. This amount of duties paid shows largo importations. The total expenses of the office for tho year wero $9,857. The surveyor received $5,100; one deputy surveyor, $1,000; one inspector, $1,093; ono opener and packer, $000. ABOUT PEOPLE AND THINGS.

Nicolas holds a court eveiy week, and offenders are birched in his presence, but he is always ready to remit a certain number of the blows for cash. Tub Maharajah of Cashmere, who has lately become involved in a dispute with the East Indian government, has written an autograph letter to the Viceroy, concluding thus: "Incase liberty is not allowed to me by the supreme government, and I have to remain in my present most miserable condition.

A biorv is going the rounds about what a prosperous woman Kate Field is and how she sits down to do her writing in expensivo hotel apartments and attired in a red silk gown. You may be sure she does! Kate never omits an opportunity for the red silk gown. It varies but it never goes; and there is many a poor scribbler of a woman living in humble lodgings who would not change places with this great linaucier if she had to wear her clothes. All the women who write about dress outside the nameless fashion hacks dress dowdily. Queex Victoria hag so far relaxed tho stringent rule against permitting divorced women to enter her presence that such aj aro themselves blameless who have obtained divorces from their husbands are no longer to be excluded from her court. This indulgence caused such a rush of Indies in this position at the last drawing-room that quite a number to whom this order gave the entree could cot get the necessary permit, as the Queen insists upon personally investigating each case and reading the testimony in the divorce court to make eure that no improper person secures access to her presence.

At tho time of her veease she was not merelv an educated womau, but one of accomplishments and cultivated tastes a perpetual example of what can be done in the field of deafmute instruction. IT would seem at last as if fortune was once more returning to Mrs. Kate Chaso Sprague, says a Washington letter to the Albany Times.

money affairs which distinguished her father, managed to get nd of her share of it long ago, except the Chief-justice's conntry place, Ldgewood, near Washington. Lately an electric street railway has been extended out there, the suburban farm has reached the neighborhood and Mrs. Chase finds herself the owner of one of the most valuable properties in the District. Hor son, Willie Sprague, who went with his father in the Sprague domestic troubles and afterward married a sister of the woman his father married, has separated from his wife and returned to his mother. He is a young fellow, not much over twenty-one, and there is hope for him. Wrrn a tightening jrnup she seized his arm.

THE BUEIAL OF MRS. HAYES

Fremont, June 2S. The day was warm, the direct rays of the sun being tempered, however, by a veil of fleecy clouds that' was just enough to give the sunshine .that dreamy quality which suggests tho season of Indian summer. The morning trains brought quite a number of persons to pay the last tribute of respect to Lucy Webb Hayes, and there were groups of . old soldiers, easily distinguishable by their steady, military step, albeit .dressed in citiieus' costume.' to be noted everywhere upon the streets or on the way to the Hayes homestead. The people of Fremont entered fully in the feelings of the bereaved family, , and during. the morning there was a notable absence of sight-seers and persons attracted by mere curiosity to the house of mourning. There were many visitors, but they wero mostly personal friends arriving ; Jfrom abroad j and delegations of old Soldiers, who marched solemnly out in groups in front. and, after paying their respects to General Hayes, quietly returned to town. ? Tho General had a kindly grasp of the hand and a word of thanks to every one of tho veterans, and especially the survivors of the,. Twenty-third Ohio, his own regiment, of whom a score or more put in an appearance during the forenoon. Spiegle Grove, the Hayes homestead, is a large, brick mansion, in the suburbs of Fre mont, standing in the midst of a beautiful grove of forest trees. Fronting the struct-' ure the trees have been cleared away to make a broad lawn between it and Blanch-. ard avenue. Beyond this street the ground dips sharply, and from the piazza of Spiegle, Grove there are charming glimpses between' the trees of the wide valley of the Blanchard river, and of the table-lands beyond. The wide hall of the charming home, the parlors, the library, were heavy .with the perfume of flowers, tributes of love and esteem from public people and private friends, from comrades-in-arms of General Hayes and military and civic organizations. The profusion of theso was oewilderiag, and. many were of the most elaborate nature Amo'rlg the great number arriving to-day-were a magniticent pillow of 'white lilies and maiden-hair fern from President and Mrs. Harrison; a cross of ivy on a. base of lilies from the national organizations of tho W.

For-; syth'8 Relief Corps, of m Toledo, with which sue had been associated. - sent a floral wreath; the survivors of the Twenty-third Ohio Regiment sent another elaborate piece, while the number of those from private friends was- simply legion, among them being two specially notable, one from Mr. and Mrs. vm. Henry, Smith and the ; other from Henry Pfeister of the White, House conservatory, who "was also in. charge during Mr. Hayes's term. ' ' . The body of Mrs Hayes was embalmed after death. This morning, at 10 o'clock, it was arrayed for the grave and placed in the casket, which was of red cedar, t hoi corners relieved by pilasters. It was covered with heavy ofack broadcloth, with massive oxidized-silver extension handles, full length. Tho one on each side attached-' to the shell by four silver arms, ornamented in harmony with the pilasters., Tho plato bore the simple inscription, Lucy B. Haves, June 25, 1889.'. The body was arrayed In a dress of ivory-cream sat in, with white passementerie - and lace trimmings. The dress was mado for Mrs. Hayes while she was in tho White House, and worn by her when she sat for the oil portrait, three-fourths length, which now. hangs in the library at Spiegle Grove. The appearance of the body was most life-like. Her illness was so short and death so sudden that there was but littlo emaciation. The face was pale, hut there was the shade , of the rose in the cheeks. In tho clasped hands was a bouquet of roses, while others were inside the casket. When the sad task was completed the members of the family came' to look upon the loved and lost. Last came General Hayes himself, who, iu a voice trembling iu grief, begged to be left alone with his dead. When b.e came out and reverently closed the door, his face was pale and calm, though there wero traces of the : tears that had forced their way. At 1 o'clock the postoffico iu Fremont closed, special permission being obtained from Post master-general Wanamaker. All the banks, offices, stores, and all business houses and manufacturing establishments. . followed suit At 2 o'clock the local Grand Army posts, 225 strong, headed by the Light Guard Band, took up the line of march for Spiegle Grove. The vehicles of the country visitors and the carriages of the townspeople dropped in line after them, and the long procession moved out Blanchard avenue, the sidewalks on both, sides being iilled with people on their way to join the obsequies. The business section of Fremont in half an hour was absolutely deserted. The grounds at Spiegle Grove rapidly tilled with the thronging thousands, and when the hour fixed for the commencement of the funeral m services arrived (3 o'clock) it seemed as if tho entire population of the town and surrounding couutry were gathered on the spot. The funeral services were simple and nn-' ostentations, preserving the character of a : private rather than a public occasion. They -were opened with the reading of the , twenty-third Psalm by Airs. Hayes's pastor, Rev, J. M. Mills, of the Methodist Episcopal Church. This was followed by the hymn. My Jesus, na Thou wilt, Ob. may Thy -will be mine; Into Thy hands of love Thus would I resign. was read' by the Kev. C. E. Barnes, of the Presbyterian Church. The singing was by a quartet choir, led by Professor Arthur, of Cleveland, who was the leader of the regimental band of the Twenty-third Ohio, of which General Hayes was colonel.' Prayer was then ottered by the Rev. Dr. Bashford, the new president of OhioWesleyan University, Delaware, O. This duty had been assigned to the Rev. Dr. Merrick, of that institution, the old instructor of both Mr. and Mrs. Hayes, while they were students there, but his health did not permit of his making the journey to Fremont. The second lymn followed, being read by Rev. Mr. Scuipp, of the Evangelist Church: When peace, like t river, attendeth my way, , When my eorrow like ea billows roll. Whatever ni y lot, Thou hat taught ra to say, It Is well, it is well with my souL" The Rev. McCabe, LL. D., who performed the marriage ceremony for Mr. Hayes and wife, then delivered a brief funeral address. It was the desire of the family that there should be no set sermon. Rev. J, I. Swander, of the Reformed Church, then read the hymn beginning "God he with you till we meet agaiu, By hi t-ounael guide, uphold you, W ilh his sheep securely fold you 1 God be with you till we meet again" which was rendered by tho choir. , Rev. M, Long, of the Evangelical Lutheran Church, then repeated the Lord's - prayer, and closing the simple and impressive services which had been so arranged as to bring into requisition the services of all the evangelical ministers of the city. - An opportunity wa given to the throngs of sympathizing visitors from abroad to view the body, the Fremont Light Guard Band, which was stationed some distance from the house, playing a number of suitable selections meanwhile. The funeral cortege then took up its line of march to Oakwood Cemetery, where the interment tok place. The ceremonies at the cemetery were very brief. Lucy Webb Hayes was borne to tne grave by her sons and her kinsmen. The pall-bearera were Messrs. Birchard, Webb, cott ami Rutherford, jr., her four sons; R. 11.

A letter of condolence has been received from tho President-. . . MUSICAL LOCUSTS.

They, Fill the Lackawanna Valley Kith Their - Droning Song, and Afford the Birds a Feast, Scrantox, Pa., June 28. Millions of musical locusts have appeared in tho Lackawanna valley within a few days. They are big, noisy fellows, large-eyed and heavy, and with wings on which the letter "w" is clearly defined. In the town of Archbald, a few miles north of Scranton. these winged visitors have been most numerous, and tho people are out at an unusually early honr every morning, trying to drive them away from the gardens, for which they show special fondness. The locnstsbegin their droning song early in the day. It is a melancholy effort, and snfiiciently noisy and monotonous to disturb the morning nap of tha person who is any way disposed to be nervous. There is no let-up in this monotonous music, and local naturalists are puzzled to know whether it is a vocal, instru. mental or . merely acrobatic achievement. A few days ago dead locusts were so numerous on the streets of Archbald that they could be scooped by the shovelful, and live ones almost hid tho leaves of the fruit trees from sight. Owing to the fear that they might kill the trees, the people made energetic war upon them and large numbers of the ominous insects perished. Soma of James G ilea lion's goslings, which am rather "green" just yet, felt that they had easy prey in the visitors, and they joined in the war of extermination in a practical way. But their folly was the death of them. Within a few minutes three promising goslings were choked dead by their efforts to introduce the thrre vigorous locusts into their "little insides." This rather startled the proprietor, who heartily wished "bad luck to the locusts,'' and prevented tho rest of his goslings . from choking themselves by driving tnem away. The loensts have not damaged any of the trees in the gardens, so far as can be ascertained, but in the neighboring woods they havo picked all the oak trees bare. When tho ' locust first appeared it was noticed that tho sparrows were quick to attack them, and many interesting scenes were witnessed. The hardy sparrows feasted freely on tho "big-eyed invaders, but the fact that thoy let tnem alone after a few days showed that the food did not agree witlfthem. Tho sparrow soon felt that ho might as well swallow a small section of a barbed win fence as a loenst, and he rarely tickles that many-legged diet now. ? A ST. LOUIS MURDER MYSTERY. The Circumstances Surrounding the Anna J Weiss Case Puzzlinjr the Authorities. I;..-. . .. , ; St. Louis, June 23. Wallace Bolton, formerly a guard at the penitentiary iu Jetfersdn City, but who has been in thia . eity for some weeks past, was arrested this morning on suspicion of being connected with tho murder of Anna Weiss yesterday morning. Ho was afterward released, however. ' He was acquainted with the girl and identified herbod3' when fcund. Frederick Buehrie, uncle of the dead girl, seems fully convinced that tho Jetferson City gambler, William McClair, is tho girl's betrayer. McClaif," he said, "is the only man I have - any idea ever betrayed my niece. She was a good, steady girl, and never cared anything for the attention of men. McClair, however, drew a web around her by pre senting her with jewelry and other things, and by his attentions. It was all, however. supposed to be friendship, due to her having , taken, care of him while ho was : sick at tho Madison House; but . some timo ago I suspected that it was something else, though not in time. I may bo mistaken, but it is hardly possible, and I cannot ee any possibility of any . mistake in the matter. I do not know mucn about him, except that xroui the best I can learn he has a wile and a number of children m Louisiaua," The general police theory in reference to the ease changed very much to-day. Up to this morning it was that the betrayer of the girl was also her murderer, but the emphatic statements of Mr. Buehrie have put a different phase on the matter. It is now -certain that Anna Weiss had aved or been provided with money to come to fet. Louis and have an operation performed which would ward off her rapidly approaching exposure. There is no other theory but this, at least noue that aro tenable. The contents of the girl's satchel and everything else supports this theory. The directions she gave to her sister, Mrs. Hollingsworth, as to the disposition of her eflects, also show this, fche intended to have an operation performed, and 6ho did not know whether she would live through it. She tore up arJd burned the letters in her truuk, so that if she did succumb to the ordeal through which she was to pass her betrayer voald net be exposed. AI of tins support the new theory, and the police are now proceeding on the' belief that the murderer is a man employed to do the job, or that bo is a mail engaged to arrange for the performanee of the operation, and to condnct tho girl to the place where she was to be provided rooms. ' A special from Jefferson City says: "It seems that suspicion is strongly settling upon McClair as the betrayer of Auna Weiss. Bolton iswlVconnected, belonging to a good famiiy. and few persons are ready to believe that he would become a tool for any one to perpetrate such a crime. McClair has a family iu Louisiana, Mo., but spends nearly all his time here. He is known hero as a gambler, who follows the profession. Thisalternoou McClair was told that he was suspected by the St, Louis police of having betrayed tho rirl and having a guilty knowledge as to ier late. " "I'll make a test case of it with any man who will so accuse me," he said. "1 play cards for a living, but I have as respectable a family as there is in Pike county. I never had anything to do with that girl, and. in fact, saw her ver" seldom before the 29tn of last mont h. I never kept her company, and I'll hiv now that if I had wronged ber she would nave something to show for it. I care moreformy family than I do for mj-self iu this matter. 1 am innocent of any hand in her 'misfortune, and I want to see themau who says the contrary." A Maniac's Deadly Revolver. . CAinRiA,Ia..
