HOW ROTHSCHILD VIEWS IT
Tho Paris correspondent of the
Washington Post, a McKinley organ
had an interview a few days ago with
Baron Rothschild, tho famous banker
pf Europe, on tho money question aud
other issues involved iu the present
presidential campaign iu this country,
As tho Barou is tho greatest money
lender in the world he is, of course, an
ardent champion aud defender of the
gold standard and opposed to any move
ment to remonetize silver, Iu this re
spect ho is iu perfect sympathy with
the Republican party, but ou the ques
tion of expansion his views are opposed
to those of President McKmley, aud ho
thus expressed himself to the corres
poudeut of the Washiugtou Post:
“One of the greatest dangers before
the United States is expansion. While
your country has vast developed,
rich territories, for you to seek addi
tional responsibilities iu foreign lauds
is unquestionably au error, aud would
in the end lead to iuteruatioual com
plications, in which America's credit
would greatly suffer.”
This reads very much like au utter,
anco from Mr., Bryan or sorno other
Americau opponent of tho Adtniuistra
tion’s Philippine policy, and it is in
teres ting to liud that their views are in
dorsod by a utnu who has no likiug for
Democracy iu this country, aud who
cannot be suspected of auy partiality
for Mr. Bryan. Tho opinion of Baron
Rothschild is that of a cool-headed and
far seeing financier who made his enor
mous fortune by leudiug money to tho
nations of the world, and who, it is safe
to say, has mado national policies a
close stady. Caron Rothschild is mind-
lui of the fact that the Philippines were
a source of expense and weakness to
Spain, and so they would prove to be
to the United States,even if we encceed
in establishing a so-called supremacy
oyer them.
turn to the Democratic column this
year.
This would leave only 19 more votes
necessary.
Indiana, which has 15, was a com
paratively close State iu 1890. It bus
regularly seesawed from Democratic
to Republican and back for twenty-
eight years, and is due to return to
the Democratic column this year; so
that the Democrats are hopeful of car
rying it for Mr. Bryan, ns they did for
Tilden and twice for Cleveland.
This would leave only four votes nec
essary.
A Democratic plurality in anr one
of tbo Middle States—Ohio, Illinois,
Michigan, Minnesota or Wisconsin—
would more than supply this deficien
cy. A change of less than 4,000 votes
would have carried Ohio for Tilden in
1870. In 1892 the Stato was so close
that Cleveland actually received one of
its electoral votes,and in that yearWis
consin and Illinois both went for Clove
land.
In Michigan the Republicans are re-
ported to have special points of weak,
ness, notably the defection of Governor
Pingree, tho presence of 20,000 Hol
landers in the State and the corruption
and offensive rnle of the corporations.
The Fusionists in Minnesota elected
Governor Lind in 1898 by a plurality of
30,000 dver his Republican opponent.
Auy one of these States would sup
ply not only the fotir votes necessary
on this basis, bat wonld also givo Mr.
Bryan a surplus varying from five to
twenty to offset any loss he might sus
tain in the States he carried in 1896.
WHY TURNER FAVORS BRYAN.
The ablest negro churchman in
America is Bishop Tamer of Georgia,
and ho is eo described by the New
York San. The bishop has written a
letter urging his race to vote for
Bryan and against McKinley, and tho
explanation of his purpose to do so is
that he believes Bryan to be a better
friends of tho negroos than McKinley.
He says;
“1 believe that he (W.J, Bryan) is a
man of sufficient honesty to use his in
fluence in behalf of right and justice.
Mr, McKinley has done nothing for
the negro except to appoint a few of
them to office.”
William Lloyd Garrison’s view that
the negroos have more to hope for
from tho Democrats than tho Repub
licans in the future is considered rath
er queer, yet hero is the carious spec-
taclo of the greatest negro churchman
iu America holding substantially the
same opinion.
Every woman loves to think of the
time when a soft little body, all her
own. will nestle In her bosom, fully
satisfying the yearning which lies In
ths heart of every good woman. But
yet there is a black cloud hovering
about the pretty picture In her mind
which fills her with terror. The
dread of childbirth takes away much
o! the Joy of motherhood. And yet it
need not be so. For sometime there
has been upon the market, well-known
and recommended by physicians, a
liniment called
Meier’s Friend
which makes childbirth as simple and
easy as nature intended It. It Is a
strengthening, penetrating liniment,
which the skin readily absorbs. It
gi ves the muscles elasticity and vigor,
prevents sore breasts, morning sick
ness and the loss of the girlish figure.

l’ersoiinel of the Jury.
Frankfort, Ky., Sept. 20.—Tho jury
in the Howard trial had made no ver
dict when the court met at 9 o’clock this
morning. The court convened and Judge
Cantrill sent the jury to tho juryroom
to consider the case.
Thu jury retired to its room at 9:10
o’clock uud returned with its verdict at
9:43 o'clock. The courtroom was crowd
ed with spectators and the vast crowd
was white with suppressed excitement
as Foremau Crutcher handed tho writ
ten verdict to the clerk. Deputy Clerk
Elliott reaii the verdict, which found
the defendant gailty aud fixed his pan
ishmeut nt death.
Howard occupied a seat by hie attor
ney. He did not display the least agita
tion and was apparently no more con
cerned than auy other person in the
courtroom.
Tho verdict was a surprise, ns the
general public was led to believe that
the jury was divided on the question of
the guilt or innocence of the defondant,
bnt it turned out that the difficulty in
reaching a verdict was ovor tho degree
of punishment, some of the jurors favor
ing life imprisonment, while others
stood oat for the. death penalty aud
finally won their associates over.
Urouuds-fur the Verdict.
One of the jurors after the jury had
been discharged stated that a number of
ballots were taken, but the first ballot
resulted in a unanimous vote in favor
of a verdict of guilty.
After that the ballots were as to the
degree of punishment, and on the bal
lots ten members voted for the death
penalty, while two voted for life impris
onment. This was while the jurors
were in the juryroom yesterday after
noon. The first ballot today resulted in
a verdiot, tho two jurors who had vote:.
for life imprisonment gavo in to the ana
jority and voted for the,death penalty.
After the verdict .bad.. beet^ rendered
Howard was remanded to jail, where ho
was -followed by bis bosom friend, John
O. White, who seemed almost paralyzed
by the verdict. Howard's cheeks also
blanched as he stood up to accompany
the jailor back to his coll. Tho jury
which tried the case was divided politi
cally, nine Democrats, one Republican
aud two anti-Goebel Democrats.
The verdict of the jury, it is believed,
was based largely upon, the destruction
of Howard’s alibi, upon which he de
pended solely.
One of the jurors ndmitted that tho
failure of Hownrd to bring any of the
occupants of tho executive building on
Jan. 30 to testify that he was not there
was considered by the jury as au indica
tion that he was there.
Found Guilty of Murder.
Eaton, N. *M., Sept. 26.—Moudez
Rodrieqnez was found guilty of murder
in the second degreo of the killing of
Anna Maria Duran at Cimarron. Rod
riguez conceived tbo idea that tho old
woman hnd bewitched him and killed
her with an ax.
The historic Alabama was sank by
the Koarsage off Chcrburg, France on
Juno 19, 1864, thirty-six years ago.
If at that time it had been said that a
generation later a member of the family
of Capt. Sommes, the widow of Jeffer
son Davis, and the Governor of the
State of Alabama would como together
in Portsmouth, N.JH,, with represents
tives of the United States Government,
in jointly bestowing tablets upon two
new vessels of the United States navy
called, respectively, the Alabama and
Kearsarge.and that this event would be
of the nature of a loro feast, the stato
ment would have been considered
absurdly impossible.—Boston Herald.
Macon is making a great kick bo-
cause she has found ont that the
censns department at Washington
credits the town with a population of
only 26,000. It is claimod that there is
an error of several thousand in tho
figures. Congressman Bartlett has
gone to work to correct the error.
Those anti-imperialist republicans
who ere still loyal to McKinley must
feel that the control of tho postoflico
is the really vital point in tho con
iinued existence of this great aud
glorious republic.
