The term of the district court
which closed last Tuesday was the
most expensive we have had since
1886 The amount that Grant paid
to her grand and petit jurors for
the 14-day term was $766 70; for
Witnesses in criminal cases S95 40
was paid, making total cost to
the parish Of 1926 10 for the term.
By referring to the report Of the
grand jury. in another column, it
will be seen that ~ true bills were
found, and that Investigations were
made in 154 cases in which no bill
was found, and FIVE cases we're car
ried over for want of evidence.
We are given to understand that
no bills were found for violations
of the prohibition ordinance, not
withstanding the notorious fact, in
undoubted possession of the grand
jury, that whisky was sold every
day in direct violation of the law
of the land. We do not know the
individual members of the grand
jury who were so callous and indif-
ferent to their legal and moral OBJ
legations as to pass this matter by
with levity, but we do know that it
is travesty upon manhood, right
and justice, If the district attor-'
ney viii file bills of information in

show that somebody failed to per-

It is little bit difficult to deter
mine whether the editor of the
Ocala Demand is . great overgrown
idiot or is deliberately Of the opin-
ion that the people Of Grant parish
are a set Of cutthroats, ready to
do murder at the instance Of any
adventurer who prompts them. If
he has any decency, self-respect, or
regard for truth and journalistic
propriety, he seems suddenly to
have lost them, or else is laboring
under temporary insanity With
idiots or the insane We have no
controversy, but if our neighbor
has any reasons or arguments to
offer in support of the absurd po-
.litical position at present occupied
by himself and Mr.. Guice, we have
no objection to considering them
and discussing the question as to
whether or not they are fair and
legitimate objects OF ridicule.
Under the heading above given
he prints the following slanderous
balderdash and intolerancy in the
last issue of the Demand:

contemporary has seen fit to ex-
press or endorse sentiments of bru-
tality towards Mr.. Guice and the
people in whose interests he is
working. It is not the first time

The Republican organs are constant

was the silver party, holding up to de-

in the explicit plank in its last national
platform. which declares:

CARDS reciprocity as the special prop

protective system. to-wit, that by the duty up

removed. while all the advantages Of protec-
tion 10 our home market are retained.

1888. was pronounced revolutionary abolishes
that fayorltism In general privilege and an
enlarged public policy which brings the Amer.
lean manufacturer 70 the foreign market upon
the most favorable conditions which even free
trade in foreign materials will permit"
This is all that Mr.. Blair can see
in reciproc!ty-an extension of the
privilege by which the manufactures
has hitherto received free raw materi-
ais for the purpose of competition in
foreign markets, and Mr.. Blair Is
right. There is nothing more in IT,

ments are sCld TO foreign agriculturists
for less than they can be bought by

farmers of other countries should get

they use, while he is sacrificed TO the
greed of American manufacturers?
Give the farmer free trade in the raw
materials he needs and he will need no
