sternly to maintain Any effort to evade this
 conclusion only makes the duty the more ob-
 vious. If it be said that what is true of MT.
 Cleveland is no more than has often been
 true of other public men, then we reply that
 it is high time that all public men should be taught that personal and private virtue is not an fmmaterial question with the people of this country. This lesson should be so em- phasiZed and proclaimed to the world that there will be no mistake now or hereafter as to what is meant by it.
 The immoralities of a mans private life are matters which do concern the public, when the public, with the knowledge of these i'm moralities, is asked to make him the chief magistrate of great nation. A debauchee, known to be, or to have been, such, is not the man to be elevated to the office of Presi- dent of these United States This one fact should be fatal to him. The people should not, and, as we believe, will not, so disgrace and man, and defy the imper- ative mandate of sound morals as to bestow this honor on any such base prohigate What is our common Christianity worth, and what is our boasted civilization worth, if such black stain in the character of a candidate for the Presidency is, in the popular estimate, to be deemed a matter of no special conse- quence? What a strange spectacle such law breaker, if elected, would present in the par lors of the White House! What an opportuni- ty it would give to Mormon polygamists to sheer and laugh at the efforts of the general government to suppress the monstrous abom- nations in the Territory of Utahi What a demoraizing lesson it would be to the young men of the country! What barrier to the successful teaching of morality from the pull pit or political platform or in the halls of Congress! All decent people, not to say Christian people, would have to hide their heads with a profound sense of shame and disgust. Noi no! the majority of the vot- CTS of this country will not and cannot ap- prove of any such .beastly and heathenish standard of morality
 At any rate the Independent will do all in it's power to prevent the election of Governor Cleveland, not from passion any personal animosity to the man. not because it is Re publican paper and believes in the general principles of the Republican party, and does not and never did believe in those of the Democratic party, but solely in the interests of sound morals, especially those of the fam fly. Whoever else may be elected or de feated, let Governor Cleveland, with the knowledge the public now have of his pri- vate character, have the mark of Cain but upon him as the fitting end of his public career. We call upon the religious. press of the nation, and also the Christian pulpit, to speak out in bold and emphatic language against his election. The issue now is a moral one, and that. too, of the gravest char acter; and this is no time for any timid, half hearted or half way utterances. When the religious press and the pulpit shall cease to teach and preach good morals, then both will become alike unworthy of respect or support.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

A correspondent who has been unable to find the clerk of the Court of Common Pleas when he wanted him asks if that clerk has any office hours We do not know. He is 8 busy and buzzing little politician and it is possible that our correspondent did not look for him in the right place.
 During the last month over fifteen thou sand Italians have sailed from New York for the old country, while the number of emi- grant arrivals from Italy was over fifty per cent less than few pears ago. The Italians have evidently learned that this is not 8 country where a fortune can be had for the asking.
 The Hon. .Lynde Harrison was yesterday cho- sen chairman of the Republican State commit tee The choice is an excellent one. MT. Harri- son will conduct the campaign with vigor and skill He has very extensive acqnaint- ance in all parts of tho State and will not have to waste any time in learning how to do campaign work. His selection as chair man will inspire the workers, and under him the campaign will be well planned and well carried out
 The September election 1n Maine IS or course looked forward to with deep interest by both parties The Democratic organs are doing their best to make it appear that if Robie, the Republican candidate for gover- nor, gets less than 10, 900 majority, it will be "aceepted" as meaning that MT. Blaine isn't popular in his own State. Four years ago the Democratic nominee for governor had a majority of 1S9 votes; two years ago, after an intense struggle, the Republican nominee had a majority of 6,570 votes. Therefore if the Republican nominee this year gets any where near 10, 900 majority he will be doing well enough.
 A curious case in the settlement of official accounts has just been brought to the notice of the solicitor of the treasury. Some 29 years ago, Willis A. German was, as gover nor of Minnesota Territory, ex-oficio super intendent of Indian affairs. In the latter capacity he gave bond in September, 1855. His disbursements began the following year and ended in 1858. His accounts were not settled by the second auditor until February

 THE FARMERS SAD SITUATION. The free traders profess to have great deal of sympathy for the poor farmer, who. they
 say, is very unjustly discriminated against
 by protection. If what they say is true the record of farming operations in this country ought to show that the farmers have retro graded as manufacturing industry has ad- vaneed under protection.
 Let us see what the facts are. The whole number of farms in this country in 1850 was 1, ,449 ,073, and in 1860, 2,044, orr. From 1860 to 1870 was period of great national trial, yet in 1870 the number of farms had increased to s,659, ,9e5. This was the first decade of protection, during which all the influences were adverse to agricultural expan- sion. Yet tie increase exceeded that of the last decade of free trade, as the foregoing figures show. In 1880 the number of farms had increased to 4, COS, ,907 an increase nearly equal to the whole number of farms in 1850. The total acreage in 1850 was 293, ,560, ,614. In 1880 the acreage had increased to 536,- O81, ,935 From 1850 to 1860 the increase of improved land was 50,000, ,000 acres. From 1860 to 1880 the increase was 121,- 66O, ,OUO acres. The percentage or unln- proved land in farms to total acreage in 1850 was 61.5. In 1880 it was 46.9 The average size of farms in 1850 was 203 acres. In 1880 it was 134 acres. The total valuation of farms in 1850 was S3, 271 ,575, 426 In 1880 the valuation had more than trebled, and stood at s1O, 197, ,O96, 776. The value of im- plements advanced from $151 ,587, ,638 in 1850 to S106 h2O C55 in 1880
 In 1850 there were 100, ,485, 944 bushels of wheat grown in the country; in 1880 469, ASA, 132 bushels Of corn in the former year there were produced 592, ,071, ,104 bushels; in the latter 1, ,754, ,591 ,675. Of tobacco, 199, 752, ,655 pounds in 1850 and 472, ,661, ,157 pounds in 18sO Of wool, 52, 516, ,959 pounds in 1850 and 155, ,691, 751 pounds in 1880; and so forth and so on. The value of the princi- pal farm products in 1850 was S544, 1S0, ,516, and $1, 800, ,464, ,609 in 1880. The price of nearly every staple was more remunerative in 1880 than in 1850 and the home market took about eighty per cent of the total pro duct.
 These are rather impressive figures. If the American farmer is going to the poorhouse under the protective policy there does not seem to be any way in which he can be made to see his sad situation.

Judd, G. j., MeCully and dustin, J.J. Opinion
Of tie Court By HeCmiy, J.
Q From the May Term of the Bird Judicial
Circuit Court The case came to the Cir
cult Court by appeal from the Circuit
Judge in Chambers, where the plaintiff
had recovered SIS for the value of a pig
which the defendant had slaughtered
claiming it to be his own: The defendant
appealed. The jury in the Circuit Court
found for the plaintiff as before, but re-
duced the value of the pig to twenty dol
lars. The defendant then claimed that
the costs of the Court fell upon the plain
tiff by force of the following Statute
provisions Civil Code, Section 1913
Costs shall be allowed to the prevailing
party in judgments rendered on appeal,
in all cases, with the following exceptions
and limitations
If the defendant against whom judg-
ment is rendered appeal and Judgment be
rendered in his favor in the appellate
court, and the amount recovered in the
court below be reduced one fifth or more,
costs shall be awarded to the appellant .
The plaintiff contends that the iudg-
ment is in his favor. 1t is found that he
was the owner of the pig, though the
value of it is assessed at twenty dollars
instead of twenty-five. The substantial
issue between the parties has been pro-
perty. not valuation. The defendant
appealed upon the question of ownership,
claiming that the pig, whatever its value,
belonged to him and the verdict is not in
his favor, but in favor of the plaintiff, al
though for reduced valuation
The defendant claims that by the ap-
peal the value of the pig was put in issue
equally with the fact of ownership and
that the statute provisions must intend to
give the defendant the benefit of costs
whenever by an appeal he has reduced
the amount of the judgment as much as
fifth. and that the statute has no mean
ing and is futile unless that construction
is put upon it.
1t is clear that the verdict in this case
is in the plaintiffs favor in the appellate
court Looking no further than this it
Is clear that he is entitled to costs under
the general provision. But the words
which follow, viz And the amount re-
covered below be reduced one-ifth or
more" must be taken to qualify what pre-
cedes them in the clause. They import a
verdict or Judgment still remaining in
favor of the plaintiff but reduced in
amount by one-ffth. We do not think
the expression Of the statute is felicitous
In termlng reduced Judgment in the
plaintiff S favor Judgment for the defen-
dant, but it must be construed to mean
that or nothing. We must presume that
the legislature intended meaning. The
intention here would seem to be to pro
tide that when defendant who has suf
fered Judgment appeals and is justified
by the appellate court to the extent of one
fifth reduction he shall be saved costs.
The operation of this statute sometimes
produces an anomalous kind Of Justice. |

Referring TO and adopting the opinion of Mr..
Justice McCully in the case below, we add that we
feel doubt of the equitable right to relief of the
plaintiff the mortgage. The defendant for years,
without legal attack assertion OF her rights, al
lowed the plaintiff Koa to remain in possession of
the land to lease the most of it, to build and oc-
cupy a house on the remainder, and to hold the
original Royal Patent in his hands, which ran in
the same name as his. With these muniments of
title in his possession he approaches the plaintiff,
Mrs. Armstrong, and obtains a loan on mortgage.
That such a loan should be made seems natural
and the supineness of the defendant was the cause
of the investment. The plaintiff stands like a
bona tde purchaser. In equity she holds a title
in form, which however, is only security for the
amount loaned. But she is to be protected doubt
less like bona tide purchaser.
The principle laid down in StOry's Equity Juris-
prudence, Sec. 3S5, applies to her 80, If party
having a title to estate should stand by and
allow an innocent purchaser to e1pend money up
on the estate without giving Kim notice, he would
not be permitted by a Court of equity to assert
that title agains such purchaser at least, not with
out fully lndemnifying him for all his expendi-
lures"
The mortgage-money as shown, was expended
and used in building house the premises
which enured TO the benefit of the defendant. True
the house was built by the plaintiff, Koa in fraud
of the defendant, but the mortgage was not in
formed of the fraud, and by the defendants mac
ton and neglect she is estOpped from asserting the
fraud against the mortgage.
Even though she did not know of the existence
of the mortgage in suit, she must accept the legt
innate consequences of her acts which rendered
such mortgage, in good faith possible and which
would be likely to, and did, result in the invest
ment OF the money borrowed III permanent i'm
provements for her benefit as shown.
For these reasons and for thOs expressed in the
opinion of our brother Judge McCully the decree
entered is affirmed with costs.

Jsdd c. J., MeCgHy and Justin J. =. Opinion II
the Court, By Jndd c. J.
The result of the first jury trial of this
case, held April, 1882, was a verdict for
plaintiff The costs were S33 40. In Sep
TENDER new trial was ordered by the Su-
preme Court in banco; costs of appeal 81.
The new trial was had in October, with
verdict again for the plaintiff the costs
were S43 10. In 1883 new trial was again
ordered by the court in banco; appeal
costs S12
In April the third trial took place, when
verdict for the defendant was ordered
by the court; costs 81 40.
In January, 1884, the plaintiffs excep-
tions were overruled by the court in banco;
costs of appeal IS so. These costs include
Jurors fees for attendance and verdicts
but not the taxable attorneys fees.
The plaintiffs counsel urges that, as he
prevailed in the first two trials before the
jury, he is not required to pay the costs OF
these trials He contends that he is only
liable to pay the costs of his unsuccessful
appeals to the court in banco and of the
last jury trial.
And the question for us to decide is
whether the plaintiff, who obtains a verdict
in his favor at the first trial of his case, Is
liable to pay the costs of this trial if the
| final judgment be against him.
1t seems to us that he is. That the de
PENDANT should not be compelled to pay
them is clear, for the ordering of n new
trial means that the verdict against de
PENDANT was wrong.
Section 1913 of the Civil Code prescribes
that "costs shall be allowed to the prevail
ing party in judgments rendered on APP
peal in all cases" with certain exceptions
which do not apply to this case.
Section 1014 prescribes that whenever
costs are awarded to the appellant, he shall
be allowed to tax as part thereof the cost.
and fees paid in the lower court in taking
the appeal in addition to the costs of the
court appealed to-"
Rule of Court XIV is that costs shall
follow judgment in all original actions il
this court"
We consider that the final liability t.
pay costs is not determined until the fina
| judgment. There must be excepted, o
course, the cases where costs are ordered
by the court to be paid as penalties, or a.
terms of continuance, etc There is NJ
reason why costs should be lost, that is
paid by no one.
The errors of juries or of courts in de
Gliding matters of fact or law do not impos,
upon them the liability to pay costs Thes
must fall on the litigating parties, and b.
borne by the one eventually losing
The plaintiff must pay costs.
