1t is very evident that the people Of

trade represents only wind, Ohio can
never be carried on the issue of free trade
Thus it was that Mills coming here, repre-
senting only the wind Of the argument, did
us no good, if, indeed, not harm" Not
withstanding the above it is evident that
"Wind TANNER" Mills is about to be SCI
lected speaker of the house by the demo-
Gratis, IN face OF the fact that both imports
and exports have been enormously in
creased under the Mckinley bill and that
the revenues have been largely reduced
in other words, that the people are buying

MORE or less unfavorable comment is
expressed upon the discharge of Fred
Neufer, after being extradited, for the
crime Of embezzlement. Presumably the
court was right in ordering his discharge,
but it seems as though the county attorney
should have considered the situation in all
its phases before he incurred the expense OF
extradition. Somebody has shown incom-
potency and the Taxpayers are interested
in knowing who that somebody is.
