dispute being an artifcialleg. The case
for the plaintiffs was that the defendant.
Mr.. DEAFNESS, a railway clerk, was sup
piled by them with an artificial leg,
the price of which was twenty-five
pounds, one-half Of which was paid
when the limb was delivered Al

PENDANT was suffering a great deal in
consequence of his having for a long
time worn boys leg.
1t was alleged that the leg was a bad
fit, and for that reason he refused to pay

and tear would be some years, but how

or desire in convention the arrangements
for a sneaking trade and swap off with
the Peoples party, to take place just be-
fore election, in which nominees of both
parties will be given deputyships and
the rank and file of both parties sold

Canada's recent census is said to be un-
satisfactory because it denotes a very

country. Considering the large influx

numerous bank surpluses to the resources
of that country the census showing is

Mr.. Jones, the chairman of the Demo
cratic state central committee has re-
fused to recognize the Democratic county
convention in Reno county. He does
this in the interest of the Peoples party,
after a consultation with some Of the
calamity leaders and their Democratic
allies in that county. The result is some
little noise and kicking in several quar-
tiers, but it will amount to nothing. The
rank and file Of the Democratic party
will learn in all good time that their
party leaders are on the deal and swap.
They have not had such an opportunity
to sell out their party in years as the OPP
portunity afforded them last year, and
this by the Peoples party, which has
never been anything in its practical
workings but an aid to the Democratic
party. AS it has been an important ad-
junct, we can't understand why there
should be any particular row over the
action of w. c. Jones, the chairman of
the Democratic state central committee,
in properly recognizing his Democratic
ally, the Peoples party.

PROBABLY there has not been of late years such another gross exhibition of judicial partiality as the charge to the jury of Lord Chief Justice Coleridge in the now celebrated baccarat case. It was an argument, and a highly colored one at that, against Plaintiff Cumming, and not a cool, judicious and judicial presentation of the law to the jury, together with calm and unbiased re- view of the testimony. No wonder the crowds about the court missed the yer dict and cheered the vanquished. Whether Cumming cheated at cards or not has little to do with the very evident fact that the Prince of Wales is a blackguard and vulgarian of the low est kind, and that his infamous connec- ton with the case has done moie to render royalty odious in England than anything that has happened in twenty years. A royal roue and habitual card sharp, who carries his gambling Clay out" around with him from house to house, who claims to see cheating going on and never says word until after the affair is over, and then in a sneaking and covert manner---is one whom no self-respecting juryman ought to be- lieve, or would believe, on oath. If Cumming is expelled from the English army, the Prince of Wales should be literally kicked out of it.

A NEW DISCOVERY

It is always hard to make people be- lieve that you have the best, especially when the article is newly invented one. They will look upon all proposi- tions made with asuspicious eye; but we trust they will give careful considera- tion of the proposition we are about to make. We intend to show the people of this Territory the only road to prosper ity. We do not wish to show that State hood will alone develop the resources of this glorious country, but we contend, and do so not because we are now person. ally interested in this question, for we be- came interested because we saw the ad- vantages and necessity of going into this business, but because we honestly believe that the future prosperity of this Territory depends upon the reclamation of the desert lands by windmills. We know what we say because we practice what we preach. California today is what she is on account of windmills giving her "the start in life." The Ermotor is the latest improved mill and shows an increase of thirly-tive per cent in power over any mill manufactured. It is simply wonderful machine and performs wonders. For instance, l6- foot Ermotor is equal-and is guaran- teed to be soto any 24-foot wheel made, and at an elevation of say thirty feet will work two good eight-inch pumps, which will throw 5000 gallons of water per hour. This means ,0Q0 gallons per day, and If you have a large reser- voir you can let the mill run night and day. One hundred and ninety-two thousand gallons of water would irrigate ten acres of fruit trees per each tariff. Think it. Do not doubt this statement, for we will sell our mills with this guar antee. We know the Ermotor will do it, and if it don't you are under no obliga tion to take the same. We ealso guarantee that l6-foot Ermotor will work four inch pump 500 feet deep. Cattemen! this deserves your careful consideration, for you can save immensely by putting in an Ermotor, and use your steam pumps in cases of emergency. The Ermotor will pump 1000 feet. All steel and will last a life time. Send for cir culars and further information.

While Secretary Foster has ample evidence of his ability to extend at least s23, 900 of the s5l 100000 of AZ per cent bonds falling due September l at elsyn per cent, and might fairly do so a.t l119 per cent without any financial disturbance, weighty practical argu- ment in the form of a proposition from few leading New York bankers was presented to him before his departure for Washington, which may lead to his fixing the rate of extension at 2 per cent. Some s23, 1000, 900 of these bonds are held as security for national bank circulation, and nearly that entire amount is in the hands of banks scat tered widely over the country, who get to per cent for their circulation, and can therefore well afford to have the bonds extended even at per cent. The remaining $2S, ,0O0,0 900, however, would in that event, or at 111a per cent rate, be sent in for redemption. The New York banks get smaller rate of interest than the country banks, and at l or l 11a per cent for the bonds it would be no object for banks to take them as a basis for national bank circulation. At 2 per cent there is slight margin of profit for them, and in order to sustain the Secretary in a per cent extension they have offered to take up s2S,00O, 900 of bonds. not now used as a basis for na- tionsl bank circulation and utilize them fos thst1puspossLi6s
 Thisas an unforeseen solution of the bond matter, and is certain of Secretary Fosters favorable consideration. It is the general opinion of bankers that with s60 0,O00,000 of g ,ld already drained from this country to Europe an increase of circulating medium is necessary to the country. The main objection made to the Secretary's suggestion of extension of these bonds at l 11a per cent. was that it would result in the cancellation of the national bank notes for which $23, 900, 900 of the bonds are now the security. This circulation would not only be continued under the plan out lined, but the circulating medium in- creased by about $25, 900, ,0OO more na- tional bank currency, which would at once be set atlost, to the undoubted relief of the entire financial situation. The redemption of none of the $5l ,OOO,- 900 of the bonds would then be de- manded, because the New York banks would provide for all of them.
 The Secretary, the New York bankers, the country bankers and the country itself can find satisfaction in this solu- ton, which the THE REPUBLICAN is au- thorized to say is approved at Wash ington as the best so far proposed.
