Wrong.
The attempt of the partisan politi-
cians and‘partisan newspapers to cast
the blame of the present financial dis-
turbance upon the new administration
and create. the impression that all
would have been well had the Harrison
administration remained in power is
decldedly wrong. . .
It is well known that there were
symptoms of financial trouble on the
: horizona year or more ago, and that
. 4 secretary Foster'resorted to various
~ ‘methods and devices for mitigating the
'~ stringency of the situation and avert-
ing a crisis. The finances of the coun-
. try were under as much strain prior.to
the election as after it, and the incom-
ing administration was simply con— .
fronted by conditions that had already
perplexed and embarrassed Mr. Har-
rison’s. . . -, '
Mr; Harrison was governed by a pa-
I'triotic solicitude for the interests of
i the country, and it .is certain that Mr.
Cleveland is actuated by a similar high
and conservative purpose.
The difficulties of the question were
not determinable by the November
’election. They would not have been
concluded had Mr. Harrison been re-
elected, and every honest citizen knows
that the attempts being made to weak-
en public confidence in the present ad-
ministratibn are guerrilla methods,
helping no man. and no cause.
This is a time ofnll Others when the
press and the politicians should make
common cause-for the general welfare,
and there should be'strong andunited
efforts on all areas to strengthen the
popular faith inflie Wisdom and ability
of the Government. The Government
is in good and capable hands and it is a
' matter of small consequence what its
politics may be,~as Democrats and Re_
publicans alike are of one mind as to
the maintenance-of- the" public faith
and the national prosperity.

7i ‘7'" The South Case.
The trial of George W. Booth and
his paramour Annie Mead, charged
with adultery, bigamy, desertion and
fornication, was heard before Morrell
at the court room this morning. At-
torney Gray for the state presented .
Booth’s lawful wife. who related a‘ piti-
able‘ story of a woman’s love and a
mafn’s desertion.‘ Several other wit-
nesses were placed on the stand__ to
prove the charges, among them being
a niece of Booth’s, who evidently needs
looking after by those in- authority.
Attorney Walsh for the defense de-
clined toplace any witnesses on the
stand before Morrell because, as he ex-
pressed it, “ He was not in it.”
Booth and the woman were found
guilty and bound over to the Superior
Court, Booth under $3,000 and the
woman $1,000. The Mead woman was
also given thirty days in jail on one of
the charges, from which Attorney
Walsh took an appeal under $250 bonds.
As neither party could give the nec-
essary bonds they were returnedjto
Bridgeport jail. '

r.James Stanley, 23, a switchman in
the N augatuck-freight yard at Bridge-
port, had a miraculous escape from a
horrible death Sunday night. As it is
he. is dangerously injured and hes on a
out at the general hospital. .
J set. before 11. .ofclock .Stanley at-
tempted to jump upon the foot board
of a rapidly approaching s'witch engine,
but miscalculated the distance, and foil
The foot
board, which is only” nine inches from
the ground, passed over him, and be-
fore the engine could be stopped, Stan-
ley lay under it near the second draw-
ing wheel. and partly under the fire
‘box. He was, wedged under, and it
was only by main strength on the part
of the train hands that he was extrica-
ted from his perilous position.
The ambulance was called and he was
transferred at once to the general hos-
pital. There it was found that besides
probable internal injuries of a serious
nature, he had sustained a compound
fracture of the left thigh. His right
knee and foot were terribly torn and
there were numerous cuts about his
face and body. Strange to say, he was
only slightly burned, although he lay
almost directly under the fire box.
Amputation of both legs may be neces-
sary, and the chances for his recovery
are very slim. ,

WASHINGTON, May 8.-—Prepa‘ra.tions for
the meeting of the one hundred and fifth
general assembly of the Presbyterian
church of the United States,- which will
_ begin in this city on the 18th inst., are about
’ complete. They havebeen conducted by a
committee of the New York Avenue
church, in which the sessions of the. as-
semplywill be held. Associated with this.
executive committee in the varied details
of the work are numerous committees
comprising many prominent men in the
national capital, the organization as a
whole being probably the most distin-
guished body that ever acted in a similar
capacity. The general assembly will con-
tinue in session about twelve days. .
- The approaching session of the assembly
will be one of the most important in
the history of the church. Three sub-
jects will engross its attention, coming
over from the meeting at Portland last
year. These are the report of the com-
mittee on seminaries, the appeal of the
committee, which prosecuted Professor
Briggs from the action of the New York
presbytery, and the revision of the confes-
sion of faith. The action upon these will
be watched withthe intensest interest all
over the country, for they represent in a
concrete from the: agitation and unrest
which for several years have been pre-
valent throughout the religious world. A
partial poll has been made of the ministers
of the church, from the results of which
it is the belief of many that the question
of revision will be relegated to the back-
' ground for the present, and that, there-
fore, the Briggs case will be the most im-
. pertant and interesting topic of considera-
tion.
