A jury of twelve men have said
that Lizzie Borden is not guilty. This
is the verdict of almost eveiy one
who read and followed the evidence
at the long trial. The mystery ot the
Borden murder is now deepor than
ever. It will likely go down iu the
criminal histosy of the country, like
the Nathan’s murder in New York,
unsolved.
William McKinley will lead the re
publican hosts in tbe coming guber
natorial contest in Ohio. It is gener
ally thought that he is playing for
higher stake! the nomination for the
presidency. It is not Unlikely that
the gallant Campbell wi 1 be pitted

The views of Banker Clews
have considerable weight
when it comes to matters ot
finance, and now he secs a
marked improvement in the
tone of business in Wall
street mainly consequent upon
the formal intimation of Pres
ident Cleveland, that ho will
call an
EXTRA SESSION
of congress in September ne tt.
The tariff and silver, will, of
course, be the main issues.
It is expected that the session
will be a tedious, and in nil
probability, a stormy one. It
is to be hoped that wisdom
will prevail and the wrongs
righted. In tho mean time
the people can count on our
doing the right thing.
