of venue, where it was once more before the Court. In each of these trials the jury re- turned verdict in favor of Johnson for amounts ranging from S, 500 to $7, 1000, and each time the trial Judge set the verdict aside on account of alleged errors.
 The case was next taken to BIackhawk County in 1884 on another change of venue and there tried. A verdict of $5,00o was rendered by the jury and judgment entered. From this, however, an appeal was taken to the Supreme Court, the decision reversed and the case was remanded back for trial in 1884.
 In 1886 the case was once more tried in Blaekhawk County, and again decision was rendered in favor of Johnson for $7, 900. This was again appealed to the Supreme Court, and once more the verdict was set aside and the case sent back for trial in 1887. And now the sixth trial of the case will take place in Waterloo, after fourteen years of liti- gation.
 This litigation has been under the esnsid- eration of thirty grand jurors and eighty four petit jurors; it has been presented to nine different trial judges, and has twice been before the Supreme Court, five judges sitting upon the bench each time. The court costs alone amount to more than $5, 900, and the attorneys' fees are much more than that amount. All of the elghty-four Jurors have decided in favor of Johnson, but the courts have uniformly set the verdicts aside on legal grounds because of the close question as te whether there was probable cause, on the part of the members of the society, for start- ing prosecution.
 The large part of lifetime has been spent in useless litigation over 8 few animals, the entire value of which was about $45. A number of farmers engaged in the suits have become hopelessly ruined, but still Johnson comes smilingly before the Court, begins his suits and readily pays for them, though he is fast sinking into insolvency and is already an elderly man. Children of various years of age who testified when the litigation first began now lead into court their own chill dren, who are nearly as old as were their parents at the time they made their first bows to the courts. The farmers are grow ing old, their money has leaked away through the various legal crevices and found it's way into other hands; homes have broken up, 6 community been made poorer in every way, and still the case is dragged through the ted- ious channels of the law, with but little more chance of settlement than there was four lac

WHAT FREE TRADE WILL DO.

WHAT FREE TRADE WILL DO.
 The recent annual report of Mir. Jefferson Coolidge of Manchester, New Hampshire, the treasurer of the Amoskeag manufacturing company of this city, touches upon matter which is of great importance to the corpora ton he represents and to others. MT. Cool idge thinks his company ought to expect a fairly profitable business for the next few years, and were it not for the growth of the free trade feeling in this country he would have little anxiety. But he says to the directors: You are we'll aware that it is simply impossible to manufacture eolored cotton goods and fine yarns without protec- tion. From the best figures that I can eb- tain, if everything that came into the coun- try were free and we paid the same wages what we do now, what costs us $1 to manu- facture could be manufactured for ninety-six cents. In other words, we should save four cents on the gross cost. Now labor in our mills takes from twenty to sixty cents of that $1, according to the fneness of the yarn and the amount of coloring material in the goods, averaging about thirty-four cents. Accor- ding to the most exact figures that have been able to get. picker hands, oarders, mule spinners and weavers receive in this country from forty to eighty per cent. moro than they do in England, whilst carpenters, machinists and masons are paid double. If, therefore, the products of English labor could be i'm ported free we should have to reduce our labor about B per cent. In other words, the English could manufacture for eighty-three cents what under free trade, at the present price of labor, would cost us ninety-six cents. It would probably be impracticable to reduce wages sufficiently to meet this difference, as it would require Q reduction of the wages of the machinists, masons and carpenters of over one-half, and the workers in the mills to less than 67 per cent. As we could not do this, it would simply mean closing the mills or running the on coarse yarns of about No. IS. These yarns are already made in as great quantities as the country can use, and the ex- port to China is not increasing, ,as India seams to be taking our place in the China market. If all the mills were turned on to these heavy yarns, too many would be produced, and most of the cotton mills in New England, after long struggle, would have to close.
 Mir. Coolidge knows what he is talking about. It would be safer to take his opinion about any matter connected with cotton man. ufacturing than that of the Hon. Roger Q. MiIla

ure in assuring you that nothing of that na- | ture appears upon our files" Such is true reform.
 The mystery of the so-called Japan magical mirrors, so far as the cause of their rejecting objects that are on the back side of the mir
 TOT is concerned, appears to have yielded to l little painstaking investigation. They are
 thin metal hand mirrors, with raised figures
 on the back of them, and are cast of an alloy of about eighty parts copper and twenty of tin, making very hard yet elastic metal. In grinding the mirrors they are presumably
 laid on flat plate, and the grinding pressure and the thick parts opposite the raised figures are ground more rapidly; the pressure re- moved, the plate springs back and the mir TOT is ooncave on the face where the figures are. The light reflected from this mirror will show the figures which are on the back,
 not from any magical power, but because of the concave surface produced ever the fig ures-the result of accident rather than of design.
 Consul Schoenhof, the official who gathers statistics from abroad which support the policy of the free trade administration, has a shrewd way of producing his amazing figures. The Boot and Shoe Recorder tells how he does it. It will be noticed that his method is the same as in his reports on ether indus tries. He takes low average of prices from Lynn, where factories are run on specialties, and compares the cost with single selected factories in other places where all the condi- tions of the work are essentially different. It is needless to say that such com parisons are deliberately dishonest and show the extremities to which MT. Schoenhof is driven. It is like comparing the labor in Waterbury watch selling at $2.50 with the cost of labor in a fine Swiss chrononeter worth $2, 500. And yet both are watches just the same as the Lynn and Vienna pro- ducts are shoes.
 It is intended to have an honest election in Indiana this year. The chairmen of the Re- publican and Democratic State committees have agreed upon and published recom- mendation that in all election precincts where the inspector is Democrat he shall appoint judge and clerk to be selected by the Re- publicans of the precinct, and where the in- spector is a Republican he shall appoint judge and clerk to be selected by the Demo- crats. This proposition came from the Re- publican chairman. Returning it with his approval the Democratic chairman suggests to the Republican committee the formation of committee of one hundred, forty-ive named by the Republican and like number by the Democratic State committee and ten by the prohibitory committee. It is proposed that the duty of this committee shall be to detect and bring to punishment illegal voters and those guilty of any kind ot election frauds, and to establish branches with like purpose in every county of the State.

The Democrats are shocked by the declara- ton of Dr. H. T. Leonard, the leader of the greenback party in Indians, that he will give his hearty support to Harrison and Morton. Dr. Leonard has had considerable following and in 1884, when he was candidate for gov ernor, he boiled s,33s votes, and it is pres dicted that fully eighty-fve per cent. of this vote will be given to the Republican national ticket this year.

Drink seems to be as prevalent in Belgium as anywhere else.

 There was no opposition to the Democratic ticket in Georgia. How that came about ap- pears from the following extract from the Athens Banner Watehman: Madison Davis and w. A. Pledger some time ago made an appointment to make political speeches in Washington, Georgia, but 1t is not probable they will keep their appointment. The young men of our little city held large meeting at the academy last night and passed resolutions to notify Davis and Pledgsr not to come. If they do so trouble is sure to result. The Democrats of Wilkes county are determined to control the ballot box and to prevent, as far as possible, any agitation among the me- groes.

PARIS, April 13.-Political meetings were
held at Turcoing and Armentieres, Depart
ment of the Nord, last night, and in both
cases the disorder was 80 great that the
speakers could not be heard. At Maubeuge,
in the same Department, 1t was unanimously
resolved TO support Gen. Boulanger. The
party of the Extreme Left sought in vain
TO secure the adoption Of a resolution in
favor Of the Radical opponent Of Gen. Bou-
LANCER
NJ Spuller, Minister of Public Instruc-
tion in the late cabinet, in an article in the
ReplbLfque Franchise says that since Gen
Boulanger has declared his intention to
force a duel with Parliament the latter
should accept the challenge, and since it is
evident that the Bouanger agitation is not
merely superficial or transient, but an
organized attack upon the country's insti-
tutions, it is the duty of the Cabinet to
propose TO the Chambers for adoption such
legislation as is necessary for the protection
and defence of the republic.
M. Morean Q3adicaD has been nominated
at Lilleasan as an anti-Bouanger candidate.

Olsen Holong was hanged here this after
noon for murder and rape under incredibly
atrocious circumstances. His victim was a
girl of 16, named Field, sister of Holong's
employer. Holong found the girl alone in
the house in the forenoon, the remainder of
the family being temporarily absent. Ho-
long outraged the girl and murdered her
in the attempt, or for the purposes of
concealment afterward, and threw her
body in the bushes, where it was partially
eaten by hogs before discovery. He mar
rowly escaped lynching at the time. He
showed fear while the death warrant was
being read, but none at all at the actual
preparations for the hanging, nor at the
scaffold. His neck was broken.
