The Mckinley Bill.


The Globe Democrats charge that
the Democratic press is not willing
TO mention the reductions made by
the Mckinley bill is very unjust.
The bill put garnets ,acorns and in
sect eggs on the free list, reduced
the tariff on diamonds and pearls to
10 per cent, cut down the tax on
other precious stones 10 per GEN.,
and gave the freest possible trade
in articles competing with Western
agricultural raw materials. This
covers the reductions in a general
way. Now, will the Globe Demo.
crat get out a sixteen-page supple
ment and make a note of the IN
creases?

Immigrants landed at New York

MANY A LIFE

Ayers Pills. Travellers by land or
yea are liable to constipation or other
arrangements of the stomach and bowels
which, if neglected, lead to serious and
often fatal consequences. The most sure
means of correcting these evils is the use
of Ayers Cathartic Pills. The pru-
dent sailing-master would as soon go to
sea without his chronometer as without
a supply OF these Pills. Though prompt
and energetic in operation, Ayers Pills
leave no i'll effects; they are purely
vegetable and sugar-coated the safest
medicine for old and young, at home or

LOCAL OPTION A FAILURE.
The Citizens of q Pike County
Town Publish the Fact.

Bovine GREEN, No., October
23.-The report reached this city
to-day that the Judge of the judi
cial district had declared the local
option law invalid in the adjoining
county of Audrain. The circum-
stances of the election in this coun-
ty being the same as in Audrain,
it caused considerable comment.
1t is understood that it is :only q
matter of time until the law will be
a dead letter in this county.
Apropos of this report a lengthy
petition appears in the Bowling
Green Times of to-day, signed by q
large nmumber of citizens Of the
little village of Spencersburg, this
county, who make a very pathetic
appeal, stating that the law there
is q signal failure, and that whisky is
illegally sold Unfortunately, and
implore the officers to assist in the
suppression of the vice. Many such
reports come from different locali.
ties in this county. The local op-
tion law has proven a dead failure
IN the suppression of the whisky
traffic, and the probability that the
law will be declared invalid by our
Circuit Courts meets with the ap-
proval of the best citizens, who be-
lleve the old law, if properly en-.
forced, would prove more effective.
No decision, however, can affect
Bowling Green, it having ceased to
deal in intoxicants before the en-
actment of the laws.

prices will lead ultimately to low

that the Tariff law has not produc-

DEPOPULATING KANSAS,
Exodus of Farmers Who Failed
to Meet Their Mortgages.

ST. LOUIS, Oct. 22.-It has been
announced here by telegraph that
there has been a consolidation OF
the loan companies holding lands
taken under foreclosure in
Western Kansas. They have form
ed syndicate in which stock is
issued in proportion to the number
of acres owned, and the lands are
to be put under one management
and farmed on the wholesale plan
with steam plows and other i'm
proved machinery.
The dispatch says: "The long
line of emigrant wagons which are
filing out of this section of the
State makes some action neces.
sary." And again "The whole
sale foreclosures which have taken
place during the past year and the
refusal of loan companies to place
any loans in this section has
almost depopulated the once popu.
lous counties. Seward County
which once had several hourishine
little towns, now contains but
thirty families, and other counties
are going backward accordingly" "
This will be interesting reading
to those of Senator Ingalls, con.
stituents who have not been com.
PEELED to emigrate, and those who
are on the move will doubtless be
gratlfed to know that their fore
closed acres are in loyal hands as
long as he remains in the directory
of two mortgage cOmpanies.
