JOHN G. CARLISLE instruments LOT It's Oe-
velopment, we stand disgraced in the eyes OF
mankind if we cannot and if we do not support
our own government We can throw that sup
port on other people only by beggary or by
force. If we use the one we are pauper ma
ton; if we the other we are pirate nation.
The democratic party does not intend that we
should be either. No more does it intend that
they shall falsely call it taxing other people to
transfer our taxes from the possessions of those
who own the property of the country to the
bellies and backs of those who do the work Of
the country It believes that frugaEty is the
essential virtue of free government 1t be-
Heves that taxes should be limited to needs and
levied by plain justice and economy.
But, gentlemen, we are confronted by new
cry in this campaign. The republican party
says Gov. Mckinley now stands for protection
and reciprocity. He was for protection alone
when he framed his bill in the house, or rather
permitted his beneficiarieS to frame it for him,
and firmly resisted all efforts of the statesman
from Maine to annex reciprocity to it. No
wonder that he favors the reciprocity added by
the senate You may explore the pages of bur-
lesque literature for anything more supremely
ludicrous than the so-called reciprocity of
the Mckinley bill. 1t is not reciprocity
at all It is retaliation, and worst Of all,
retaliation on our people. It pun
ishes American citizens for the necessi-
ties or the follies of other people It says to
small countries south of it; You are forced
by your necessities, or led by your follieS, to
make bread higher and Scarcer to your people:
we will make shoes and sugar higher and
scarcer to our people, And now we are told
that reciprocity is to be their battle cry.
Already we are RECALLED with pictures of

The Jury to Be Kept in Another
Sunday---Argument to
Last Another Day

The Long murder case did not go to
the jury yesterday as was expected, the
argument not being completed at the
hour Of adjournment in the evening.
II. G.. Newman resumed his argu-
ment when court convened at 9 O'Clock
and addressed the jury until ll:lO. Col.
Lewis then opened and spoke continu-
ously until o'clock, save the two hours
recess, from Il to ? p. m. 1t being inn
possible TO complete the argument of
Col. Lewis and II. A. Fairchild, who is
to follow him, before midnight, the
court reluctantly adjourned until $3.50
tomorrow morning, keeping the jury
i'm over another Sunday. If the case
goes to the jury Monday it is probable
that lengthy night session will have
to be held on that day. Col. Lewis
will probably require the forenoon ses-
sion to complete his argument, and it is
hardly probable that Mr.. Fairchild can
answer a two day argument in half
day session. The court announced last
evening that it would require Over an
hour to read the instructions.
The court room was packed all day
yesterday, with an increased attend
auce Of ladies.
The jurors listened to six hours of
speaking yesterday. To reproduce it i'm
print would require acres Of typo
graphy. Mr.. Newman, i'm the two
hours ne spoke, continued the eloquent
and logical review of the evidence COM
menced on the preceding day. His
speech won him the hearty congratula-
tiOn Of his friends, and challenged the
interest of all. Col. Lewis declared
that his associate had left nothing for
him to say, and complimented in the
highest terms Mr.. Newman's eloquence
and mastery review Of the evidence.
Col. Lewis, during the four hours he
stood before the jury, held the closest
attention Of the great audience by the
charm Of his oratory. His graceful,
flowing rhetoric, dramatic delivery and
wealth of historical and literary allu-
sion gave his address i'm behalf of his
client on trial for his life, most ehec-
tive appeal to the feelings and senti-
ments Of the jurors and the audience.

oakes On the Great Northern

In an interview on the subject Of the
Pacific coast extension Of the Great
Northern, President OaRes, of the
Northern Pacific, is quoted as saying:
at is not possible for the Great North
ern company to build its Pacific coast
extension before November /, but it
may be completed IN twelve months
from April /. The country through
which the line is projected is hitherto
inaccessible territory, with no pOpula-
tion and no business. In other words,
the Great Northern will have to pursue
the course originally pursued by the
Northern Pacific and build up its own
territory. The only new competition
between the two lines will be at Spo-
kane Falls and Seattle. We are salts
fled that the increase Of business at
both places will more than compensate
the Northern Pacific for business that
the Great Northern will secure. This
has been the experience Of the North
ern Pacific at Helena and elsewhere
where the two lines have met i'm COM
petition.
at is evident that the extension of
its lines to the Pacific coast was "A ne
cessity for the Great Northern. Its un-
dertaking is the best possible iudorse-
ment of the wisdom of the construction
of the Northern Pacific. 1t is believed
the construction Of the Great Northern
to the Pacific coast will prove a success,
but it is poor argument on the part Of
the promoters of that scheme to seek to
push the work by attempts to injure
the value Of Northern Pacific securi-
ties ~

charter to the Nelson IL Fort Shepherd
line. There is considerable excitement
among legislators and citizens on ac-
count of the attitude of the Dominion
government in the matter.
THE chief significance of this move
ment, so far as British Columbia and this
portion OF this state is concerned, lies in
the fact that the main line of the Great
Northern, now under construction to this
coast, passes through Nelson and the
koOtenay country, via the Crows nest
pass, and it is thought that the company
is seeking northern outlet from the kOo-
tenay region to Bellingham Bay and the
Gulf of q orgia. The Spokane q North
ern, whose present Northern terminus is
at the Little Dalles, on the Columbia, is
to be extended this year to Fort shepherd,
b. c. If the project was not in the in
terest of the Great Northern it would
hardly be likely to meet such violent OPP
position from the Canadian Pacific.

The arbitrators on the question Of
trainmen's and conductors wages,
which caused the late Canadian Pacific
strike, have decided that freight con-
ductOrs are to receive $3.50 per 100
miles, and the detention time is to
count after eleven hours work, at the
rate Of twenty-five cents for conductors
and seventeen cents for bakemen, the
$3.50 rate to hold good for one year.
The result is agreeable to both the men
and the company.
