was to goI free. The dark cliud that,
had been hovering over her was dis
pelle<. 'Tears t -ell t ro it -ie eves of the
stern jisticcs, and t he scente was lsuch
as has levr bve knowl ill this coun'l
try. The justices niade no Iffort, to
-4top tihe dimioistratioi. Tieir liarts
were with the people, and for a few
moments they forgot law and decoruim .
The jiuty flied itito their seats at 4.30
p. im., and were polled. Miss Borden
was asked to stand ip, and the Ioreman
was asked to return a verdict, upon t
which he announced "Not guilty."
The closing scenes in the trial were
in direct contact with those which had
preceded it., Heretofore all had been
decorous and in keeping with the dig -
nity of the most dignified ciurt inl the
country. But when the verdict of "Not E
guilty" was retui'ned, a cheer went, un
which might have been heard half[ a
mile away through the open winldows,
and there was no attempt to check it.
The stately judges looked straight 1
ahead at. the bare walls. Sheriff Wright
was powerless to wield the gavel which
lies ready for his use, and lot once du
ring the tremendous excitement, which
laste( fully a minute, did he make the
slightest sign of' having heard it. Ile
never saw the people rising in their
seats and wavig their handkerchiefs 1
in unison wit,h their voices, because his
eyes were full of tears an(] completely
linded for the time.
Miss 11orden's head went down upon
the rail in front of her, anld tears came t
where they had reftused to come for
many a long day as she heard the
sweetest words ever poured ilto her
willing ears, the words "Not Lruilty."
Air. .jennings was almost crying,mand
his voice broke as Ie put his hamt out
to Air. Adams, who 4at next to him,
and said, "Thank God " While Adais
returned the pressure of the hand and
seemed incapable of speech.
After the verdict had been received
the distrigt attorney moved that. tlie
other case against Miss lordein he
nolle prossed, and the order of the
court was to that effect.
Chief .iustice Alason tien gracefully
thanked the j tirors, ill appreciation of
their work andI faithful service, and
reminded them that the precautions
taken with them, which may have
eted irksome at the time, were sore
ly in the interest of justive---a fact
which they undoubtedly realized now.
The jury was then dismissed.
Governor Robinson turned to the rap
idly dissolving jury as they filed out of
.4 their seats and beamed oi them with
fatherly interest in his kindly eyes,and t
stcod up as Mr. Knowlton and I r. I
Moidy camne over to shake hanids e ith t

VAs1iN(,TON, 1). C., .Jine 20.- .iTres
Idetit Cleveland has decided to exert
every influence withit his proviice to
tccolipish tih, rppeai of I lie Sherman
Act, w% ithoit comnpromits.i or substittte
of any kind, a.s soon ias possible alter
the extraordinary svssion convenes in
Septeik:r. The silver men have been
so sIrong in nimbirs and so strenuous
in their denan(s in recent. congresses
l.at few have believed that tne act
,ould be repealed without some con
4essions. A month ago the president
ifinself considered the prospict ex
.remely doubtful. Since then, how
iver, the people have become better ac
juainted with the operations of the
aw now in) force, anI the deinand for
is repeal is ino longer confined to the
East, but has reached both the West
iid South, and is daily growing in
;hose sections of the country. The
resident thinks it will continue to
crow during the summer months, and
,he indications seem so strong to his
nind that he has determined to urge
,he plan of no compromise, and all his
-Iforts, so far as silver is concerned,
)etween now and September Ist will be
!xerted in that direction. The hopeb
)f the silver men, therefore, that they
vould be able to utilize the monetary
lepression and the popular demand for
i etange in the silver law to their own
tdvantage will surely bl dashed to t he
Pround.
This does not mean that the prtsi
lent is a relentless enemy of the white
netal or that he has reached the con
lusion that it can be dispensed with.
)n the contrary, nobody better appre
iates the fact that there is not a sutti
ient amount of gold in the world to
neet the requirements of trade, but, the
vhole quesMion of silver has become
;o muddIled in the ininJs of both leg
slators and people since the land act
ecame operative that he considers it
Lbsolutely necessary to brush away all
he cobwebs which now obstruct the
,,ision before attompting a final solu
ion of the problem. Tsiing a homely
mt. pertinent expression, he thinks
.hat the country "has had its head in a
asket" so far as silver is concerne(l,
>wing to the incessant discussion of
h1w different, phases of the subject, and
he first, thing to (to to obtain the ad
vantage of intelligent action is to re
uove the basket; in other words, to re
peal all silver legislation and then take
iiflicient titme to prepar- a plan for the
proper use of silver which shall b! b itth
iensible and permanent.
I'ersonally the president is not. a
tionoimetlist. To say thit lie is be
-ittisu lie believes it. wise for the time
Lieing to retirn to the gold basis is
juite as absurd as the thor,ughly ex
ploded charge of his opponents that
jecause lie belieies in a reduction of
'he tariff he Is necessarily a free trader.
The reasons which induce him to
ake his present position are exactly as
itated ab)ve. There is however, an ad
litional factor of the greatest import
ince which lie lias been obliged to con
ider and which has intiluenced in no
mall degree his conclusion. This is
he effect which the uncon(litiona! re
>eal of the Sherman act is sure to have
ipon other nationis. The session of the
ntvrnat ional monetary conference
.ailed not mnly to produce but even to
)(int towards a qolition of the pro
Aei which woulI be mutiuially satis.
actory. The cause of this failure -to
min internat ional agreement was appar
i at the timne. While the U nited
;lates was williig to 1my thu silver
allion of the worli anI pay for it in
Foli, all that the oIlTer nations Cou1ld
!esi re was being accomlished to their
ininent satist action beeaise they were
lot comlpelled to hear an5 share of the
Ilirdeni. The disposition wvhich fthey
naiiifested st,ill exists and will surely
ontinue while the Sherman act re
nainis upon0 t.he statute books. Htt
he miomenit it is repealed the other na
ionsM, especially France, wihose inter
st ini silver is far greater than that of
he I inited States, caln not fail to ap
>reciaite the necessity for dellnit.e aic

irst session of the con iference (lemon
tratedl conclusively that the only way
o bring the other nations to t.erms is
o use their own weapons, which he
aise of its food produicts and natural

that it will be a success. It will become

be disorganized. If the dispensary
shotld fail there will be a strong light
against it, and it will ho the issue ill

by a combination composed ot one wing
of the prohibitionists and the saloon
eleinent. I think the prohibitionists
will wait, to 1we the oitcome11 and will
find that it, will accomplish intch more
to stop whiskey drinking than prohibi

very long step, in t.he right direct ion.
