Char lea A. Town®, then an independent candidate for eoasraai, with Democratic and Populist Indorsements, in the Sixth e#grea#ional district of Minnesota, whereto Mr. Towne wae charged with dishonest and corrupt motiroe in advocating the restoration of allver and with bavtng sold his convictions on the money question. Soon after Mr. Towne brought an action An* libel against this paper and Its editor and proprietor, which has since been pending. Mr. Towns has declared that his object to proseSMioi this case was the vindication of his .character and tbs defense of his reputation, And, having investigated the alleged facta on which said article was founded, ws stats on behalf of The Dispatch and its editor and proprietor that the accusations against the honor of Mr. Towns contained in the article complained of were not based on fact, and, in our opinion, the same were and are untrue.—St t Paul Dispatch. April 80. 18BS. We reproduce the foregoing retraction merely to suggest to the reader the infa- j moubly unscrupulous methods by which the gold power carriod the election of 1896. -The charge against Mr. Towne was by no means exceptions1. Almost every man prominent in the bimetallic forces, including Hr. Bryan himself, was charged with ^having been bought or bribed by the silver mine owners of the west, while the rank and file were all of them either misguided lunatics or repudiating «*xm<in*is seeking to •void the payment of their sacred obligations. The ist. Paul Dispatch is one of the leading papers in the northwest, and in the last campaign it was one of the most % vehement shriekers for “honest money” and “financial integrity. ” It was sure that the free coinage cf silver would have the effect of compelling the creditor class to accept money cheaper than gold, and the pious souls of the managers were shocked at the infamy. Their virtuous indignation knew no bounds. It is a most singular circumstance that so many intelligent men could work themselves up into a sort of religious horror at the idea of taking the smallest fraction of value from the “almighty dollar, ” and at the same time deliberately rob, or attempt to rob, men of their good name with no more compunction than a Chinese cook feels when wringing off *he hind legs of a boll frog for the frying pan. To a man like Charles A. Towne a good name is a greater value than all the gold and silver that were ever min*, ed- Had he been actuated by a sordid dr ootmpt motive ho oonld have gratified his avarice far better by taking the other side, which had and used $30, perhaps $100, where his own side had one. No j man has ever given higher proof of his disinterested devotion to a political cause in the United States than has Hr. Towne in his advocacy of - bimetallism. He surrendered high political honors with still higher in prospective, he lost lucrative business in his profession, and he lost old time friendship and social oo&nectiou* that were dearer to him than all We know that it has been a difficult matter for him to raise sufficient money to respectably meet the expenses of his office. And yet the advocates of a monetary policy which conld not live a day but for the insatiate ' greed of the money lender deliberately and maliciously undertook to destroy his good name. There never was the slightest reason for believing that “he had •old his convictions on the money question. " If there had been, the St Paul Dispatch would certainly have mentioned it in its own extenuation, at least The obvious fact is that the St Paul Dispatch has made an absolutely groundless charge and was likely to get hurt Hence after the lapse of more than a year and a half, when it found itself with a big libel suit threatening it a .complete retraction is made. The same thing has oocurred, wo believe, in the case of one or two other Minnesota pa- j pen that had attacked Towne in a similar way. These little incidents should have the effect of opening the eyes of' the people to the character of the campaign that is being waged on behalf of “honest money. ” I

Th# People's IU|hU; The ‘ question that naturally arise* and one that yon not infrequently hear, j is, ".Do not courts too often decide cases in favor of .corporation* as against the people?" ffruly, it would seem to, and far this reason. it is claimed, socialism and anarchism have sprung up in various parts of the country, and therefore, In view of this fact, it may not be ixnCoper for us to here remark perhaps a It should be called and some of our courts be given to understand that the people have rights and privileges that should be respected, as well as corporations.—Racine ( Wi&) Journal (Rep.). Pennsylvania’* On* Chance. This year, we believe, presents a fitking and hopeful opportunity to go down to the bottom of the knavery and corruption that has fastened itself cm the politics and legislation of the state and apply a curative that will last It can he deme only by the co-operation of the people. This is the time to do it. when the public miud is purified and exalted as it were by the sacrifices war makes necessary and imposes on all.—Pittsbqrg Post Wolcott a Traitor. Wolcott of Colorado, alleged silver man and bimetallist, voted with the goldites in the senate finance committee do issue $500,000,000 of bonds. This ac-1 lion shows where Wolcott stands on the [ fmuney question. —Silver Knight Watchi

Sentenced Far Life* » John Cline was found guilty of the murder of Pierce Smith and the jury brought in a verdict Tuesday Afternoon of imprisoameDijfor life. The trial was begun last Friday morning. The greater part of the day was taken up in impaneling a jury and about noon the following jurors were selected to try the case: Ulyaqr Stapleton, William Brown, W. J. Hardin, Everett Bodkins, Thomas J. Robinson, \ William Borders, William Beftjamin, Charles ' Benjamin, Robert Beadles, Alexander Ueacock, Janies W. Ridge and Curtis Russ. The taking of evidence begun in the afternoon of the same day and continued up to Monday about eleven o’clock when the arguments begun. W. E. Co*, prosecuting attorney, o[>ened for the state and S. 6. Davenport and C. L. Holcomb followed in behalf of the defendant, and Mr. Cox closing the argument. Judge Ely instructed the jury as to the law governing the case and at six o'clock that evening the case was given to the jury, aud Tuesday afternoon as above stated the jury .brought in the following verdict: State of Indiana vs John Cline. We, the jury,’ find the defendant guilty of murder in the first degree as he stands charged in the iudicitnett:, and fix his punishment at imprisonment for life. William Beadles, foreman. At the announcement of the verdict Cline broke down and wept bitterly, and declared his innocence of the eriine. He was taken back to* jail where he again broke down. His attorneys will argue a motion for a new trial next Monday. The crime for which Cline was found guilty created quite a sensation in this city at the time. Pierce Smith, a farmer living a few miles west of town, came to town that morning and sold some hogs and began drinking. Sometime about one o'clock while in Kelley’s saloon it was noticed that be acted peculiar ami he was t&ken in a back room and laid down’bind I)r. Link sont for. who, upon his arrival,'pronounced the mau suffering from poison. Dr. Rice was also calk'd m. The doctors worked for sometime but could not avert the action of the drug. Smith was taken to the home of Doug Barker, where he died about three o’clock the same day. Frank Siple, John Cline and Jacob Battles were arrested charged with the death of Smith. At the convening of the grand jurv the case was investigated and indictments found against Siple and Cline, Battles beiug released from custody. The prisoners were arraigned iu court which whs in session, and they plead not guilty, and they were remanded to jail for trial at the June term. At the present sessiou of court Siple asked for a change of venue and his case sent to Daviess county where the trial will come up at the August term of that court. Siple will he defended by T. H. Dillon and V. R, Greene of this city. Water Works Company. For sometime past it has been talked that Petersburg ought and should have water works, but it seemed to be all talk until the last few weeks when several Petersburg citizens, who always complete everything they undertake, organized a company to be known as the "Petersburg water works and power company. This company presented to the town board at its regular meeting la?t Thursday night a proposition to put in a water works plant providing the towu would take a stipulated number of water plugs. The trustees have the matter under advisement. It is a well known fact that this city should have a fiue system of water works. The city is growing aud to keep pace with the times modern improvements should be had. The city has the only natural gas plant in all Southern Indiana, has a fine electric and incandescent lighting system and should by all means have'water works. Petersburg has a bright future before it am! should not be retarded in the way of improvements in any manner. No one will dispute fora minute but what the city is in need of a system of water works.

‘•Head Money” Tor Sural Heroes. Something over $^'0,000 will be paid by the government as “head money" to the officers* and sailors who destroyed Cervera’s five!. This is according to the law which provides payment of $100 a bead for every mau on the ships of an enemy when these ship-5 are destroyed. A few of the officer' will receive pretty good fortuues. According to the law the officers and men of Sampson's fleet will be entitled to f 100 for every officer and man on board the six Spanish vessels- that were destroyed off Santiago. Records in the office of the bureau of intelligence of the navy departr ment show the complement of officers and men on these ships as follows: Vizcaya, 500; Maria Teresa, 500: Aimirante Oquendo 500; Cristobal Colon, 450; Furor. 67; Flu ton 70; total 2,067. On this reckoning the government will pay to the officers and men of Sampson’s fleet #208,700. The figures in Commodore Watson's dispatch to the navy department are slight ly different, but chang* the result only a trifle. Decrease In Sugar Imports. The J une report of the bureau of statistics on the imports of sugar shows that the dutiable imports for that mouth amouuted to 267,739,068 pounds, as compared with 640,852,049 pounds during June, 1897. For that mouth, however, there was an abnormally large importation owing to the prospectiye increase in the duty. The wool imports last month aggregated 7,542.762 pounds as against 37.912,491 for June, 1897. The same conditions existed, however, a year ago as to wool that prevailed as to sugar, hence the* apparent decrease in the importations.

Latest War Sews. News from the seat of war at Santiago and Manila has not been very reliable for the past week. Nearly every day there have been rumors that Santiago had been captured or that the Spanish general had surrendered. Ot be/dispatches were that the bombardment would be commenced the nest day. Several of the warships have thrown projectiles into Santiago during the past week which have wrought much damage. The land forces have bad. several j skirmishes and the American forces now have Santiago surrounded and escape is uow shut off. General Miles has landed with a large force of troops and is now in command of the land forces. It is expected that the land aud naval forces will make a combined effort to capture Santiago and the Spauish soldiers. General Linares, the Spanish general, refuses to surrender the Spanish forces. General Shafter has made repeated demands for the complete surreoder of Santiago, but which have been refused.’ Admiral Dewey last Monday bombarded Grand Island in Subig bay and compelled a surrender of the fort and the soldiers. He now holds this important point of advantage. It was an easy victory for the gunboats Raleigh aud Concord. The dispatches from Santiago Wednesday was to the effect that yellow fever had developed among the Spanish soldiers. Every precaution has been fake^by the American officers to prevent the spread of the disease among the American soldiers. Generals Shafter and Wheeler have regained their health and are now ready to lead their troops on to victory. Starvation is staring the Spanish soldiers at Manila, Santiago and Havana. Provisions are running short and the blockade about these important points are still being ■kept up. Camara’s fleet which was headed for Manila has been recalled after passing through the Suez canal, and is now on the return to Spain to protect the forts from bombardment from Watson's fleet which will sail for Spain. The latest news from Santiago is that the bombardment of that city begun yesterday at noon. UFA 1. ESTATE TRANSFERS. Record of the Change* that have Reen Recorded. Everett McLaughlin to Joseph M.

Her. Zaeh Selby Deed. At 12 o’clock Monday, July 11, the Master celled Rev. Zach Selby from labor to his reward. After arranging all his earthly affairs the good man calmly closed his eyes and his noble spirit took its swift flight to the God who gave it birth. The world calls it .death, but the saint ed preacher looked upon it as a new life. Key. Zach Selby was boro near Petersburg, Pike county, July l£tb,1864, the son of Philip and Ann Selby, long since gone on before. The day of his death was the thirty-fourth anniversary of his birth- Early in life he felt constrained to preach the gospel and in order to fit himself for the ministry he entered DaPauw University, from which he graduated iu 1891. He worked in a grocery store and a brick yard to earn the mcney which put him through college. In September, 1890, he eutered the Indiana M. E. conference. Before that, however, he had “supplied” the pulpit at Newburg. His first tegular work was at Maywood, in *91 he was sent to Owensville, where he remained one year. It was while on this work that he was married to Miss LenaL. Hoover of Indianapolis. December 22, 1891. To them four children have been born, three of whom are now living. His third work was at Ft. Branch, where he remained three years wheu he was transferred to John Street, New Albauv, from which charge he came to Peoli in September, '96. During his pastorate at this place he has endeared himself to all the people, irrespective of church affiliations. Probably no man has ever been more highly esteemed and more generally beloved. He won people by his manliness, his earnestness, bis zeal and his steadfastness. Powerful as he was in the pulpit his pure life was even more potent and he leaves behind him an example of goodness and Godliness which will.continue to preach for many long years. He was a Mason, Odd-Fellow, .Knight of Pythias and Royal Arcanum. The remains will V** taken to the M. E. church at 11 o’clock this morning and lie in state until 1:30 this afternoon, when the casket will be finally closed. Presiding Elder Steele of New Albany, will preach the funeral discorse. Other ministers will assist in the services. The interment will be in the new odd Fellow's cemetery at this place. We shall take occasion at some future time to speak more fully of the life and character of Rev. Selby.—Paoli Republican.
