HONORS WON BY H<br />
Practical Politics Reports from ho<br />
western part of the State say that<br />
Rep. Prank A. Hosmer of Amherst is<br />
to get a renomination in the 3rd Hampshire<br />
district without opposition.<br />
A prophet may bo 'without honor in<br />
his own country, but in this case apparently<br />
a first-clas- s Representative is<br />
not without appreciation in his own<br />
town. This may bo accounted for in<br />
part by tho fact that while Hep. Hos-jne- r<br />
performed his part, as a member<br />
of tho Committee on Appropriations,<br />
in the big work of the House, ho kept<br />
in close touch with his own district<br />
and its needs. In his own committee<br />
he was especially wntchful of the appropriations<br />
for tho State college nt<br />
Amherst.<br />
On the Committee on Appropriations<br />
lie has been noted as an economist pud<br />
it is n pity thnt there wcro not more<br />
of his kind on tho committee. licp.<br />
Hosmer does not believe that tho<br />
State should be put to the expense of<br />
bnilding harbors for every little hamlet<br />
on tho coast thnt someone may<br />
have a placo to anchor his yacht, any<br />
more than it should bo called upon to<br />
build garages for nutumobilists, and<br />
lie I1.1H insisted that it is time to call<br />
a halt to this grafting on the State<br />
treasury.<br />
Tor a first year man Pep. Hosmer<br />
has a record of unusunl excellence, and<br />
it is a cood omen for the future of<br />
tho commonwealth when men like him<br />
can bo induced to allow tho use of<br />
their names as candidates for public<br />
office.<br />
Superintendent of Public "Works<br />
Mnrston Campbell has recommended<br />
that tho Bungnlow on tho Cnpitol<br />
grounds be, torn down. The building<br />
is more thnn thirty years old, decayed<br />
nnd in bad repair. It is now used ns<br />
headquarters for tho National Guard<br />
and also as a storeroom for field pieces<br />
and other arms and accoutrements.<br />
THb TRUTH ALWAYS.<br />
"Whoa you nre in doubt toll<br />
tho truth." It was on experienced<br />
old diplomat who eaid this<br />
to a beginner Ji tho work. It<br />
may pnsa in Bomo things, but<br />
not in business. Fraud, and deception<br />
nro ofton profitable so<br />
long as concealed; yet detection<br />
is certain sooner or later; then<br />
comeB tho smash-u- p and tho<br />
punishment. Tho best and safest<br />
way is to toll tho truth all tho<br />
timo. Thus you mako frionds<br />

Then there is but ono real companion-waand<br />
that leads down to officers'<br />

a mass of machinery. Almost the entire<br />

(From (Saturday's Advcrtl.sor.jl<br />
In the petition suit of May IC. lit<br />
their assignees, Judgo Lindsay y<br />
day rendered a written declsiou<br />
decision gives a history of the case<br />
D. Holt was tho owner of a life<br />
tcrest insige,<br />
indicted under tho Edmunds Act.<br />
Tho case was prosecuted by Deputy<br />
United States District Attorney Raw-lin-<br />
Tho defendants wero defended<br />
by E. M. Watson." Tho witnesses who<br />
appeared before the grand jury mndo<br />
out a case which satisfied tho grand<br />
jurors that tho defendants ought to<br />
bo put on their trial, and tho trial was<br />
begun on Tuesday. But on the trial,<br />
somo of the witnesses failed to be as<br />
positive in their statements as thoy<br />
were beforo tho grand jury. But moTe<br />
particularly Mr. Watson showed in evidence<br />
that it was an utter impossibility<br />
that the chargo as mado could be<br />
true.<br />
When tho testimony in behalf of tho<br />
United Stntes was all in Watson moved<br />
for a directed verdict of acquittal.<br />
An adjournment was then tnken until<br />
tho afternoon. At tho afternoon ses<br />
sion Mr. Rawlins not only agreed to<br />
n dironteil verdict but stated to tho<br />
jury his belief that tho defendants<br />
were entitled to such a verdict.<br />
Judgo Dole in directing tho verdict<br />
expressed very strongly his satisfaction<br />
at such an issue of the case under the<br />
testimony. He said that it was unfortunately<br />
tho case that sometimes<br />
persons through malice charged others<br />
with offenses under this act, making<br />
complaints to tho United States Attor<br />
ney, complaints of which he was bound<br />
to tako cognizance. These malicious<br />
persons wero sometimes able to present<br />
to tho grand jury a seemingly prima<br />
facie case. But tho United States,<br />
though tho plaintiff in all criminal<br />
cases, had no interest in the conviction<br />
of anyone but tho guilty, nnd thereforo<br />
it was entirely proper for nnd creditable<br />
to the representative of tho Uni<br />
ted States, that in such cases as this,<br />
where tho evidence showed tho innocence<br />
and not tho guilt of tho defendants,<br />
that he should join in tho request<br />
for a directed verdict of.not guilty.<br />
Tho jury were very ready indeed to<br />
return tho directed verdict, and thus<br />
tho caso was ona of thoso rnrc ones<br />
where court, jury, litignntB, and attorneys<br />
for both sides are agreed and highly<br />
satisfied with tho verdict.<br />

D. Holt, who died in 1891 leaving ni<br />
children n3 his heirs. Tho potitiom<br />
May K. Brown', has become tho owne<br />
of tho interests of four of these heirs,<br />
and now asks for a partition, of tho<br />
ostate,<br />
Some of thoso having somo of tbo<br />
other interests, opposed this on tho<br />
ground that J. D. licit is now a very<br />
old man and the lifo estate, in tho<br />
ordinary course of nature cannot hnvcr<br />
much longer to last. It was objected<br />
also that the estate could not bo equit<br />
ably divided. A commissioner appointed<br />
by tho court reported that division<br />
could not bo made. It seems that soma<br />
of the heirs havo been in the habit,<br />
of cultivating portions of tho land, ami<br />
pasturing cattle on other portions,.<br />
Georgo Holt claims to have spent about<br />
$200 in constructing n ditch to bring<br />
water to certain of tho land<br />
he sold a thousand dollars'<br />
watermelons off this land a<br />
worth of cattle. But Judgo<br />
decides that under tho law t<br />
tioncr has an absolute right t<br />
tition. It is therefore decided<br />
commissioner shall be appointed<br />
tho entire estate for lifo nnd<br />
the proceeds, nil parties to bear<br />
share of tho costs.<br />
