HANCOCK COUNTY S. J. COURT.
BEFORE JUDGE HASKELL.


ELLSWORTH, May Sth.
Charles r. Clark VS.. John L. Watson. An ac-
ton to recover $4,000 damages for an alleged
SANDER. The plaintiff a policeman at Bar Har-
Dor, alleged that the defendant in conversation
with one, William Young, In August last used
these words; "Mr. Young, | am doing good
business, and would like to borrow $50 of you
that may stop up the policemen's eyes;h and
also, First want to see Clark and stop up his
eyes;v and later. upon the same date, having re
ceived the loan asked for, he said 'sThere
have stopped up Clark's eyes," That upon
March u, 1885, the defendant also stated TO
Young, 81 have paid Charles Clark $50 the past
year to keep him quiet that might sell liquor
and also, upon the same date, 81 have paid
Charles Clark $50 the past year for hush money"
The defendant admitted that he had spoken the
words charged, and claimed that they were true
according to the true import and meaning of the
language, but he denied that they were true to
the extent alleged by the plaintiff. The defense
ordered testimony to show that the defendant had
paid the plaintiff money upon four different occa-
sons in the summer and fall of 1887, amounting
in all to $50 in consideration OF which the plain
tiff was not to interfere with him in his business
of selling liquor.
The plaintiff testified most positively that he
had never received any money from Watson for
delaying, or emitting to perform any duty, or
emitting to search his place or make any COM
plant against him, or Tor any purpose whatever,
and introduced the testimony of a large number
Of witnesses as TO his own good reputation fol
honesty and integrity, and also introduced large
number of witnesses to impeach tine testimony OF
the defendant. After being out about forty min
utes the jury returned verdict for the plaintiff
for 5000.

General Harrison's idea is the Repub,
lican idea, which, had it not been OBJ
structed by Democratic majorities in
Congress, would have saved TO this Ma
ton the $l5OOOO,000 which it has paid
within the past few years to ships that
have carried its mails, its freight and its
passengers, and which would have added
other millions TO its wealth by develop
ment OF trade with countries that arc
comparatively near to us geographically
and, for the most part, akin to us in po'
litical structure. The National policy o.
preserving the market Of this Republic
10 the citizens OF this Republic, and o.
extending our foreign trade by American
vessels, and in direction which will
make us the suppliers instead OF the
purchasers, the manufacturers instead Of
the recipients OF foreign manufactures,
has never been more boldly expressed
than by General Harrison.

ChfcdJO Inter ocean,
Palmer words than General Harrison
spoke to his Henry county visitors have
never been spoken by any candidate.
II the Republican nominee be elected to
the Presidency he will be elected as II
Republican and us ProteCtionist; in
brief, as a man standing upon the Chi.
cago platform and approving every plank
used in its construction. He said: 81
see protection to American industries on
the banners which you carry. Our party
stands unequivocally and without eva.
sion or qualification for the doctrine that
= 'meriCan market shall be preserved
IN producers" Whereat, his
heare,.. icing mostly American farmers
who knew what the growth OF American
cities and factories had done i'll increas-
ing the demand for what they have to
sell and reducing the prices OF what they
have to buy, there was great applause. 7"
But General Harrison not only de-
clared himself in favor OF preserving the
American MARKET to American producers,
but also in favor OF extending our foreign
trade by closer commercial relations with
the Central and South American repub-
lies and governments. "And what" he
asked, sis essential to that end? Regular
mails are the first condition OF commerce.
What we need is the establishment OF
American steamship lines between our
ports and those OF Central and South
America. Then it will be no longer ne
cessary that an American minister, com.
missioned to an American State, shall
take an English ship to Liverpool, there

The Philadelphia Press says many
good things in small compass, and this
is'one oithcm:
A prohibition amendment OF the Con
stitution will DO voted on in West Nir'
ginia in November and u canvass OF the
State in favor OF its adoption would seem
to be as much as the Prohibitionists
would care to undertake. 1t would also
seem desirable for them to draw of Us
much attention us possible from the
charge that they are actuated more by
political than temperance reform mo.
tivcs. Instead OF taking this course,
however, they have probably ruined
whatever chance there was OF carrying
the amendment by placing Il full State
ticket in the field, and thus proclaimed
it to be their purpose rather to gain Of
fee than to put an end to the liquor
traffic. In 1854 they east only $50 votes
out Of total poll OF lS2, l5L and the
only thing they can accomplish this
year is to elect the Democratic State

At this moment not less than sixteen
balls are in course OF construction or arc

ton. The remarkable feature OF these
spheres is that at least half OF them are

fully taken apart and packed away after
