President Harrison in his message
says the consumer pays the tax. He
certainly must be mistaken, for every
republican campaign orator in this
county has assmed US that the
consumer did not pay it. Benjamin
goes OF to say that the removal OF
the tariff on sugar has reduced the
revenues $93, 100000 and that these
millions (which would have been
collected upon imported sugars
if the duty had been maintained has
gone into the pockets of the
people and not into the public
treasury, as before" Considering
that the foreign importer had to pay
the duty, he must be mighty mean
to stop paying now, just when We
are SO hard up.

Of contributing to the wealth of Eu-

tinge Of disingenuousness in what he
says He really believes and ex-
poets that the democratic policy
will fail disastrously, and it is not
uncharitable to assume that he

1t is in this spirit, perhaps, that
he urges that the work of tariff re-
vision bereft. over entirely to the
hands of the incoming Congress
that is, to democratic administra-
tion. As he recognizes the exis-
tahee of no burdens that ought to
be removed, he cannot conceive Of
any responsibility resting upon the
republican Senate or upon himself
as president, to do aught in that di
rection. He urges that the ques-
tisn of proper national quarantine
laws be taken up and acted upon at
this session. He also expresses the
hope that the legislation which be
has heretofore recommended for the
protection of railroad employees
against the dangers to life and lint
resulting from old and defective
methods of braking and coupling
cars may be passed by the presen'
Congress. These are excellent rec
concentrations, but there the Presi

be, in his eyes about the limit of the
legislative responsibility of the Fiji

session and of his own administra
ton in its last quarter

/ am prepared to affirm that the
question of license or no licence will
not enter into the forthcoming mu-

reason for this is because it would
be needless agitation. The com

gard to legalizing the liquor traffic
will be most decidedly forninst. John
C. Price will become commissions

en- out publicly preceding the cleo

dry The court will therefore,
stand overwhelmingly against Ii
cense. The people of Morgantown
might carry the license question.
But the simple fact of carrying it
would be the sum total of their sat
isfaction. In this case the county
court is the court of last resort.
And that settles it.

therefore he is not protectionist.
There is positively no such thing as
a protection democrat. Most dem

that tariff for revenue only is neces-
sary, high enough and God knows
it is. Some democrats may be free
traders, like some republicans. but
it depends upon what you mean by
free trade whether there are many

democrats are all free traders Vet

was found who had not fixed OplH-
ion of the defendants guilt or inno-
cence the panel was exhausted.
Nearly every man called having read
of Ramsey and the doings of the
Cooley gang had formed an opinion
as to the defendants guilt or inno-
cenae and were generally afraid they
could not sit on the case and pass
on the evidence impartially. After
the jurors had been sworn Judge
Ewing cautioned them not to talk
nor listen to talk concerning the cas
es they were to try. He also in
structed the tipstsves to admit no
one to the court room during the trial
except witnesses on the case, jurors
and members of the bar. This order
was made necessary owing to the
great crowds anxious to hear the
proceedings.
AS for Sam Jones and Montana
Pete, these personages were Pigments
of the Imagination. These two had
been allied with the gang for years,
but nobody had ever seen them
The fact was these marauders took
these names when on their expedi-
tions, and Jack Bamsey, in the dock
was Montana Pete when he had a
gun on his shoulder in the hills.
This seemed to surprise the outlaw
for be raised his eyebrows with
amazement, and his face gradually
broke into smile.
Judge Ewing, in his instruction
to the jury, pointed out that no ex-
PLANTATION had been given of the dis
appearance of Sam Jones and Mon
taDa Pete between Prinkey's house
and she place where the doctor at
tended Frank Cooley, nor of the APP
pearance of Brint Frey on The scene,

Gibble made up the number sworn
I'd by the Prinkeys. The jury then

Finally, for his very figures, the
President draws upon sources that
are not authoritative nor in some in
stances even trustworthy, as, for ex.
ample, when he again quotes and re-
lies upon, as be did in his letter OF
acceptance Of the Minneapolis nom
ination, the worthless and discredi-
table report of Labor Commissioner
Peck, of New York. In short, we
regret to say it, the Presidents ''re-
view" is too much like the Summing
up" of an ingenious attorney who
selects his own. witnesses and such
portions of the testimony as suit his
case and studiously ignores and
omits to dwell upon every inconveni-
ent or damaging fact.
The Presidents argument Is not
only too one sided and partisan to
have the effect which he would wish
it is also too much tinged with par
tisan and personal Disappointment
and bitterness. 1t is covert attempt
to prove to the American people
that they do not themselves know
when they are well off; that they
neither understood the facts oil
their condition nor the cause of their
own prosperity, when they allowed
themselves to be CALLED into voting

of his guests
CHARGES OF IsTEMPERANcE.
In March, 1891, the Deacons moved into
their house in the Rue de Grencllc. The
eldest child was taken i'll. and Mrs.
Deacon was in a delicate condition. Never
theless, Mr. Deacon left the house and
moved to hotef for fortnight.
Further violence is alleged on the part
of Mr.. Deacon, and, according to his wife
story, he broke down the front door of the
adjoining apartment, occupied by the
COnte and Confess De Castries. Mrs.
DeacoiI's friends, moreover, say that
charges Of intemporance can easily be
proved against Mr.. Deacon. They also
allege that even the children we're not
exempt from his cruelty.
PARIS, Nov. 2222-lhe first chamber OF the
court ofappeals to-day handed down its de
cision in the Deacon case. Judgment was
given for Mrs. Deacon and it was ordered
that the child Gladys be returned to a cor

Mrs. Deacon's brother has written a
letter to the representatives of the Assoc
ciated Press stating that, under the advice
of her lawyer. his sister mas never, since
the beginning Of the unhappy affair, said
anything to either the American or French
press.
Mr. Deacon, on the contrary, has never
ceased receiving reporters, and has paid
certain journals to publish garbled ac-
counts Of the affair. He has also sue
ceeded in closing the papers against his
wife and her friends. Her silence and his
INSCRIPTIONS loquacity have backenGd

The brother adds: Hence il is that
speak for the first time. If | were to relate
the cases OF his cruelty To my sister his
drunken acts his Insults to her friends,
and his conduct toward her four little
girls, would require columns to describe
it. My family have requested her to bear
all rather than make public her domestic
troubles. Mr.. Deacon will demand a
divorce sooner or later, and he is deter.
mined to prevent her from getting one in
her favor. In this lies the real cause OF
the shooting of Abeille. Deacon wishing tc
