At a democratic meeting in Green
wood county last week Col. A. a.
Harris, the noted democratic leader of
Fort Scott, made a speech in which he
said: Gas much as hate the republi-
can party, and as little as can endorse
its principles and doctrines, L would
rather see them in control OF this gov
eminent and state for century, than
see it in the hands of the peoples party
for one year. Why, you democrats
who are with it today, within the next
eighteen months will be looking
for friends to make afidavits for you
that you never belonged to the party at
aIl.'

The Mckinley Bill.

Among number of other very fool
ish things incorporated in the resolu-
tons of the democratic convention at
Enterprise last Friday is the following:
1--WE denounce the infamous Nc
Kinley bill, the motives of its authors
and defenders, because it does not
open market for barrel of pork or a
bushel Of wheat"
1t is at least refreshing to find in a
democratic platform even a slight
deviation from the old line of meaning
less platitudes. Democrats seldom
make any public declarations which
would show the channels in which
their mastery abilities are running.
This unintentional ''slip OF the
tongue reveals the interesting fact
that the Dickinson county democrats
are really thinking about wheat and
pork and -four, or that some one who
prepared the resolutions thought Of
these things for them. AS usual,
however, they put their foot in it."
They always have talent for I'M
doing themselves on business qnes-
tions. They probably did as well as
could be expected under the circum-
stances. They would, however, appear
to better advantage if they had
remained sin the immoyable gloom of
the cranks on calamity" and while
every civilized nation on the face OF
the earth is looking with hourly greater
intentness to the United States as the
most prosperous and blessed country
on the globe, our democratic friends
should have heard "only the sounds OF
Indebtedness and complaint and the
scouTge that is driving eontentment out
of so many homes" But all the world
is in a conspiracy this year against the
democrats and free traders of America
That infamous Mckinley bill'' has
been in operation less than one year,
and under or because of its reciprocity
claims we already have enlarged trade
with Cuba, with Germany, with Brazil
and following the readmission of
American pork, beef and flour into the
German empire comes the news of the
probability of the markets of Austria
Hungary being opened to the farmers
of the United States. The facts are
all against the democratic theories.
The Mckinley law has increased our
foreign trade during the first ten
months fits operation in the sum of
| s53, 4S5, l2S. 1t has increased free
imsportation from 34.69 PEE cent of
the total imports to Sc % pc: cent, thus
bringing in mere than half of our
foreign supplies absolutely free of
duty. And it has reduced the per
capita revenue from duties from 1892
to $3.50. But facts never interfere
with democratic allegations.
In August, 1890, with q short crop
DdINeSlSu' oio'O,oO' uuouOlo VI ANU
lean wheat were sold for export for
1913, 479, or at the rate of 92.S5 cents

enormous crop, 81, 1894 bushels were
sold for export for S22,774,s 75, or at
the rate of S1.O12S a bushel. In Au-
gust, 1890, 143, 4S2 bushels of American
rye were exported for SSS, 1893, or at the
rate of 61,1S cents a bushel. In
Aug ust, 1891, S72, 497 bushels of rye
were exported at a value of SSH 1927, or
at the rate of 1906 cents a bushel.
These figures are official. We COM
mend them to the lugubrious statesmen
of the Dickinson county democracy.

KoocnEJ4Y Completed.
A Sensational Case in Which Father
Was Arrayed Against Son and a will
mington Women Figured.


In Camden, n. T., FRIDAY, the case of
Count William ID. Koocheiay, who is
charged by his wife, daughter of Colonel
James Matlack Scovel with bigamy, came
up for trial yesterday in the criminal court,
Judge Hugg presiding.
The trial was conducted in the absence
of the defendant, Colonel Scovel appearing
to defend the young man from charge
made by his daughter, and Harry Scovel,
son of Colonel Scovcl, prosecuting the case
for the State and his sister.
Harry Scovel set forth that his sister,
when 10 years of age, married the defend
ant, in Philadelphia, in July, 1887, and
that in january last Count Koochjay mar
ried Eleanor Wingate in Camden. Miss
Wingate is Wilmington woman and
lived here until recently.
Colonel Scovel presented his own afli-
davit, declaring his client was i'll, and that
he had not been furnished with notice
of the trial, and asked to have the case
postponed.
Harry Scovel denied that Count Koochc-
jay was to ill to appear, but that he in
tended to evade the process. Continuing,
he said: II stand here for the honor of my
sister, and as her only brother protest
against the postponement of the case. My
father opposes the trial and would make ii
appear this man is n fool, but he is not.
Hc is more knave than fool. This man
has terribly injured my sister and am
here to demand in the interest of Justice
that the case proceed. Hove my sister too
well TO stand here and agree to allow such
william to escape"
Colonel Scovel pleaded for his erring SON.
in-law in these words: IF mother and
her child can forgive. why cannot brother
do as much? | say the man Is insane, and
to convict him will break the heart of a
noble mother"
Harry Scovel then arose. and looking
his parent full in the face replied "For
the very reason that my father will not
protect his daughter, is the cause of my
appearance. | love my sister, and the
little prattling babe, and no monetary CON
sideration can swerve me. The mother of
this william is wealthy but she cannot be
held for his crime"
The case was then called up and Harry
Scovel called his father, counsel for the
defendant, to the witness stand, who de-
tailed his daughters marriage and those
who were present. Harry Scovel then
testified to being present at the marriage
of his sister Mary to the accused Six
months ago, he declared, his attention was
called to the fact that his sister was being
neglected. 1t was afterward found that he
had married another woman and was liv-
ing with her.
Colonel Scoyel. for the defendant said !.
II represent my child and my mother,
both of whom are as dear to me as they
are to my son Harry. When he is as old
as | am he will know that one of the
beauties of justice is its mercy, and if the
mother and child can forgive this wretch,
surely the majesty Of the state of New
Jersey cam He said that he fully be.
lieyed the young man was insane.
The jury convicted Koochejay without
leaving their seatS

ngthristianity and scatteredthem through
the provinces along the river 1t is known
he had emssaries and sent out 100000 of
these books.
The contents are described as too vile for
belief they contain all the worst charges
ever made against Christianity They are
infinitely more mischicvous than former
works. because they are not written in the
Mandarin dialect, but in the vcrnacular
of the people. This is evidence to prove
that Ghon Han had blocks made for the
books and that thousands of copies were
struck off under his orders. Although five
people in llunngpi are to be punished for
selling the books. the author and his
friends have not been prosecuted, in fact
they are understood to laugh ut any fore
ing attempt to bring them to justice as the
cause of rioting.
