Is the force of words, President Cleveland shrinks
from the use of the term "Free-trade," and in fac
declares that those who taunt him with being
Free-trader are deceiying the country. 1t is Ger
tain that the arguments which President Ceve
land urges are those which Golden used to emplo,
forty-hye years ago and which any English Free
trader would employ now. That Import duties
stifie production and limit the area Of country's
markets is purely Free-trade argument. AS
such we are very glad to see President Cleveland
using them, thoaghwe are sorry for the popular
infatuation which makes 1t dangerous to give then

The death Of Judge Stanley Matthews
which seems to be imminent would make
another vacancy on the bench OF The Supreme
Court to be filled by Grover Cleveland OF
the present judges six are Republicans and
three Democrats. A Democrat in the place
OF Judge Matthews would leave the Republi-
cans with but one majority. But Judge
Bradley cannot remain on the bench much
longer owing to his infrmities and Judge
Miller though in good health is advanced
In years. The prospect is therefore that
If Grover Cleveland is again elected Presi-
dent before the close of his term the court
will be turned over to the Democrats, and a
majority of its judges will be made up of
men who bitterly opposed the most import
ant amendments Of the reconstruction
period. The South has already got control
Of the executive and large part of the legis-
lative department Of the government. With
the Supreme Court in its hands it would
be practically in supreme control, and we
should be treated to the spectacle of the
Southern States which TOOK part in the at
tempt to destroy the union and which at the
present day are ruled by force and fraud die
tating the policy of the general government.

Secretary of the Treasury Fairchild lab
ored In the course of his long speech In New
York city last Saturday to show that his
plan OF loaning out money to the national
banks without interest was for the good of
the country as well as for the good of the
banks which have the free use of the money.
BE did not. however, quote from President
Cleyeland's message of December 9Th. 1897
In which the Chief Magistrate declared
"The proposition to deposit the money held
by the government in banks Throughout tho
country for use by the people. is, it seems 10
me, exceedingly Objectionable IN principle
as establishing too close relationship be-
tween the operations Of the Government
Treasury and the business of the country,
and too extensive comminglng of their
money, thus fostering an unnatural reliance
in private business upon public funds"
Only four months after this more than fifty
million dollars of public money was distrib-
uted among favored national BANKS where it
was left to lie without bringing in any inter-
est to the government instead of being ap-
piled to the reduction Of the national debt.

as clear on this point as our citizsns have Il
right to demand of their public servants.
In an instance witness clothed with the
authority of Deputy Sheriff and Consta-

liquor just over the line in Frederick coun-
ty, and Constable admitted having bought

dence of witness before US, had Joined in

think that the people OF the county have a
right to demand that such conduct shall
cease or the culprits be removed from their
official positions.
From our experience during this Term of

severe penalties for its violation.

Report of the Grand Jury.

TO tile Honorable, tie Judges Of tie Circuit
Court far Montgomery county,:
The Grand Jury have the honor to report
that during their session they have exam
ined one hundred and fourteen witnesses,
and have found thirty two indictments
among these thirteen Were Tor violations OF
| the local option law, four for manslaughter
one for murder, one for assault with intent
| to kill, two for statutory house breaking,
| two for assault and battery, four for larceny,
one for abduction, one for bastardy, one for
| placing an obstruction on the railroad, and
| one for carrying concealed weapons.
The Grand Jury visited the county Aims
House and were much pleased with the
I general good condition of the property, the
farm showing evident improvement under
the present manager, and the farm stock
and outbuildings in good condition. There
are thirty two inmates in the house whose
condition is not quite 50 comfortable AS the
amount of money expended by the county
would seem TO justify. We would recon-
mend that additional ventilation be secured
in some instances by removing partitions,
in others by putting in iron pipes to CON
duct fresh air into the rooms; there are also
several board partitions which should be
replaced by lath and pastering The bed
ding of the establishment needs additional
some Of the beds were infested We would
also state that some Of the inmates need al
ditional clothing and better shoes.
The Jury also visited the Jail and found
things in u most excellent condition as re-
CARDS management and cleanliness We
would recommend the removal Of the porch
in the back yard, the covering over of the
cellarway, also in the yard the building of
a porch and steps on the side near the pump
and the placing of strong wire net over
the corridor window on the west side To
prevent anything being passed through the
window to the prisoners by confederates.
We would also recommend that the solid
door which the prisoner Redman forced
should have an additional bolt and bar
placed upon it so as to make it secure; also
that the prisoners should be furnished with
additional bed clothing.
The Jury also recommend the removal of
the iron railing around the Court House
yard, the construction of fre-proOf vaults
for the preservation of the records of the
county, and we would also suggest that the
roof OF the Court House needs repairing
In the discharge Of its duties the Grand
Jury has had number of cases of grave
importance TO consider, and in every in.
stance has used its best endeavors to reach
just conclusion.
The examination Of witnesses in reference
to violations Of the local option law has
consumed much OF our time, but not more
than the importance of the interests in
volved will justify. The evident unwil.
lingness of many of the witnesses to testify
was noticeable, and we regret to say that the
officials Of the county were not all Of them
