BENNINGTON. VERMONT
Friday Afternoon, May 22nd, 1891

The president has arrived home. He
reached Washington last Friday after an
absence of month and two days. All
of the party were well, but it is stated
that the president endured the trip bet
ter than any one else, notwithstanding
the one hundred and forty speeches
he made. And the speeches were good
ones too, worthy the chief magistrate OF
the foremost republic on earth. The
Journey was the most remarkable ever
undertaken by president OF the United
States, both as regards its extent and
the time required to make it. 1t EN-
braced the continent from the Atlantic
to the Pacific, and from the gulf to the
boundaries of British Columbia, dis
lance of about 5000 miles.

wonderful. 1t possesses just those ele-

At this season nearly every one needs a
good medicine to purify, yltallze, and enrich

your confidence. 1t is peculiar in that it
strengthens and builds up the system, creates
an appetite, and tones the digestion, while
It eradleates disease. Give 1t trial.

A Sympathetic Judge.

= Judge Hamer has become famous
in Nebraska by refusing to confirm
certain farm mortgage foreclosures
The decisions are actuated from a
purely sympathetic standpoint, and
are not backed up by any rule of law.
hence it is certain they cannot stand
when submitted to higher tribunal.
Judge Hamer's position is founded
upon justice between man and man,
but can only serve as a rebuke to the
ravenous money sharks, who are de-
vouring the country and reducing the
poor farmer to pauperism and slavery.
Following Is one decision handed
down from the bench at Broken Bow
last week.
''This docket is covered, page up
on page, with confirmation cases.
The last summers drouth has exhaust
ed tb farmers resources and he is
una: = to pay the interest upon his
loans. The act of God, for which the
people are not responsible, has reduc-
ed one-half of them to almost beg
gary, and this calamity shall not be
made worse by any act of mine. We
are asked to turn 100 farms over to
money lenders, and 500 women and
children over to pauperism. It shall
never be done, in this district, while
am Judge. The people are not able
to pay and I will not assist in their
being robbed. Let us wait until a
crop be raised and confidence restor-
ed, and all Will come out right. If a
man is living on his land or living of
of it, and trying to cultivate it he
should have the reward of his wit.
1 will never confirm a sale in times
like these if the owner is trying to
make a living on the land When
the people are compelled to ask for
aid to secure seed, it would be cruel
mockery to deprive them of the land
on which to SOW the seed. I have a
right to refuse to confm O aale when
the property sold does not bring two
thirds its actual value, and in these
cases it has not brought that amount.
The sale Is not confirmed" Omaha

purpose of preparing a list of premi-
ums to be offered for cereals and
grasses from this seasons crop, from
which samples could be secured for

The secretary of the bureau, VIM.

list of cereals and grasses, offering SIC
as first premium and So as second,
for two sheaves or bundles of each
product agreed upon, This will be
done at once, and the press of the

TIE Botkin investigation has end
ed as predicted IN acquittal. On the
first three articles, charging specific
acts of drunkenness, Judge Botkin
received unanimous acquittai, thirty
five senators voting mot guilty"
The fourth, fifth and sixth articles
were thrown out by the adoption of
the demurrer IN relation to them.
The seventh article, charging habit
ual drunkenness, received four votes
for conviction. The eighth article
charged Judge Botkin with blasphe-
my. He was acquitted of the charge
by vote of to 20. The ninth arti-
Gle, charging q misuse of judicial
power in arresting men on illegal
warrants, received a majority of votes
for conviction. but not the required
twenty-seven. Eighteen voted guilty
and seventeen not guilty. The tenth
article, charging completely in the
scheme whereby W. p. Hackney re-
ceiyed $1,000 from the Springfield
treasury for trivial services; on this
charge the vote stood-guilty Is. not
guilty 16. So it seems that there
were some grounds for the charges.
Under the circumstances, however,
the trial was an illadYised one, as
politicians can see no wrong in their
party members.

storm and probably other causes, no
one was present to try the examina-
