supreme court is of great interest to all
military officers, as it determines that
they hold Office as do civil officers, at
the will of the President and the SEN

A. Keene Richards, who died in Ken
tucky recently, spent more than S1,O00,-
600 to improve the breed of race-horses
in America. He made two long journeys
in the deserts of Arabia to obtain the
pure Bedouin horse, and succeeded in
getting a few of the best blood at fabu-
lous prices, which he mixed with the
most fashionable English and American
racers. The result, however, up TO the
time of his death, failed to meet his an
ticipations, though many winners were
sent from his beautiful blue grass park,
near Georgetown, Ky.

The farmers in Louisiana are giving
attention to the cultivation of the iute
plant. So great is its consumption in
the manufacture of mattings, coarse
cloths and bagging that there was i'm
ported last year into the United States
seven millions worth Of that product.
1t is an annual plant; the seed is sown
in April and is ready to harvest when it
begins to blossom in the summer
months. The fbers are soft and silky,
and prepared for the loom in like man
ner as flax, to which itj assimilates in
appearance and the uses to which it is
converted in textile industries. In Ori-
entail countries it is staple product,
yielding handsome return to the cult
vator. It's introduction here has been
attended with great success, and as the
Southern States are well adapted as
jute-growing regions, the crop, which
requires but little labor and commands
a ready sale, will be remunerative to the
planter. 1t can without much trouble
or expense be raised in sufficient quan.
tity for home use, so that seven million
dollars or more paid annually to foreign
ers for the imported article will find
their way into the pockets of Southern
farmers.

A WASHINGTON SPECIAL to the Gin
cinnati Commercial of Sunday, in speak
ing of the President, says:
1t is impossible to say definitely wheth-
er the discharge comes now from the
end of the wound where the ball lies or
from the suppurating surface along the
balls track, near to the wounds mouth /;
but it is probable that the latter is the
case. All the evidence goes to show,
and all the surgeons are now agreed, that
the ball lies in the front wall of the alb
domen, about five inches below and to
the right Of the naval, and just over the
groin. 1t is believed that the black and
blue spot which was visible on the right
side of the abdomen for several days af-
ter the President received his injury
marked the bullets location, and this is
confirmed by such results as have been
obtained with the induction balance.
The ball has given no trouble as yet,
and may be encysted and cease altogeth-
er to be a source of anxiety. In any
event, however. the surgeons express
perfect confidence that the Presidents
recovery will be complete and not fol-
lowed by any disability or permanent
weakness. The surgeons report further
a slight gain of strength during the day,
and very susceptible improvement in
his general condition. DR.. Agnew; who
arrived this afternoon. said that the
President appeared to him much better
than when he last saw him.

Wool.

Demand has been somewhat careful
again and buyers selected close, both as
to quantity and quality, while on cost
there was some crowding. with an occa-
sional gain on odd lots. Manufacturers,
in fact, are in position at the moment
to feel and act a little independent and
can shop around for all the advantages
the market is likely to give them. Some
holders weaken, unquestionably, under
the slow character of the demand, but
the majority do not as yet appear great
ly alarmed, nor are the reports of gen.
eral desire to realize in any way we'll

strong, and this induces holders to as
sumo a steady tone in many eases,
though with an admission that the rates
they ask can not be realized. For Ohio

it is thought 42c will buy. Foreign &C

A VIGOROUS PROTEST..

The Bellaire Tribune enters a vigor-
Gus protest against the assumption of
the Democratic papers that, because the
Republican party are largely in the mi
nority in this judicial subdivision,
newspapers and individuals of that party
are impertinent when they offer any
suggestions or in any way interfere
with their choice of a candidate. All
persons who have business in the courts,
or who are required to contribute to their
support, are interested in the prompt
and careful transaction of the business
that comes before them; and. because of
the fact that that party is so largely in
the majority in the subdivision, it is not
remarkable that many Republicans
should feel and express an interest in
the doings of its convention.

THE IupICIAL MIIDDLE.

The result of the election held last Sat
urday for delegates to judicial conven-
ton is not promising of harmony and
good fellowship between the Democrats
of this county and Monroe. What is
known as the Swaney ticket pulled
through by very narrow margin, on an
exceedingly light vote, considering the
attention Che matter has received at the
hands of the newspapers, the candidates,
ana the party managers. Out of total
vote of 5,379, only 1896 Democrats
of the county took sufficient interest in
the controversy to vote at all, and of
that number Mr.. Swaney received. q plu-
rslity of eighty-fiye, and will go into
convention with a majority of the votes
cast against him.
The "half breeds" as the Okey Demo
Gratis delight in calling the men who ad-
vocated the plan cohsummated last Sat-
urday, are not so defiant and confident
as they were one week ago. The cooler
heads among them are reticent, but that
they are troubled is plainly noticeable.
The matter has gone so far now. how
ever. that these men can not back down
from the position they have taken and
maintain any self-respect whatever. The
gauge of battle has been taken up by
them, and although the first onset ex-
hibits them in rather pitiable plight,
any concession now would make them
the laughing stock of the two counties.
1t is prcsumable the convention will
be held at the time appointed, and that
that body will go through the dreary
farce of nominating Mr.. Swaney. 1t is
confidently asserted that Democrats of
Monroe county will be present and will
participate in the convention, notwith-
standing the ukase issued by the COM
mittee of that county. In that event the
party managers at WoodsHeld and the
Democratic committee of Monroe coun-
ty will be placed in about as disagreea-
BILE position as are the "half breeds" of
this county bow.
The Monroe county committee COM
mitted grave error iR the beginning of
this controversy. when it insisted lpop
appointing the delegates from that counr
Jy. Under any circumstances, that is
not the best plan of choosing delegates
to convention. but when a nomination
is contested by two counties which COM
pose convention, it is especially objec-
tionable. Following the lead of Monroe.
the Belmont comInittee took steps to
make that county solid, likewise. This

The Business Candidate.

The conference of Democrats at To-
ledo made about as plain = recognition
OF the consideration for which Book
walter was nominated, as did the con-
veltion committee in officially notifying
him of his domination. Mr.. Bookwait-
er was around, but was left to warm his
heels outside until the, experience and
confidence meeting was nearly over;
then. after two hoaFs of sad speeches, a
motion was made to fsteb him in, and
this met considerable opposition. but be
was finally let in, but not called on to
speak. 1t appears that Mr.. Book walter
is not recognized as Democrat, and is
to be kept in the background. In the
opposition to inviting him in, it was said
that he was nominated merely as bu-
sipess man. This has a specific meaning
business, not politics, Is Book walters
part. In the debate on Ron, Frank Ne
Kinney's motion to invite Bookwalter
in, it was objected that he was nomf-
mated as business man, and was not
expected to take part in the canvass ex-
sept as business man.-Cin. Gazette.
