He was the arrival of the first

the dawn of the new era of

boarded the special car of the
vice president and when, . moment
later. Stevenson appeared, leaning on the

THE COUNTY JUDGESHIP.

Judge Charles w. McIlhon is before
the people as bipartisan candidate
for the Office of County Judge, in re-
spouse to call signed by hundreds of
representative citizens of Iowa county,
who commend his fair and able ad-
ministration Of the office, to which he
was appointed by Gov. Peck, in the
fall Of 1891. It is the unanimous YER
dict of all who have had matters
adiudicated before Judge McIlhon
that he makes an excellent county
Judge = diligent, fair and able in the
transaction of business. From the
general, spontaneous and hearty ex-
pressions favorable to his election to
be heard from men of all shades OF
political belief, it is evident that the
people of Iowa county know when
they have the right man in the right
place and will not fail to retain him
there. But, however bright his pros
poets of election may be, it behooves
all his friends-all who desire that
the interests Of the people of the
county shall be best subseryed-to do
everything in their power to roll up
for him as big vote as possible.

What Pulp Mills are Doing.

Milwaukee Journal.
The Wood-pulp mills of the state are
fast exhausting the soft woods of the
state and soon the problem of a re-
newal of the supply will come up for
solution. The softer the wood the bet
ter 1t is adapted to pulp-making, but
these woods grow much faster than
others, and with care the supply ought
to be made to keep pace with the de-
mand. In the treeless states of the
west such timber IS grown successfully
for fuel and shelter. It would appear
strange to the pioneers who found
Wisconsin a forest country to see their
decendents resorting to tree planting
to supply the demand for timber. No
forest supply can stand such excessive
drafts on it as have been made on ours
for the past few years.

"It's an Ill Wind"

''It is an i'll wind that blows no one
good" and it is not unlikely that the
emperor Of Germany may find it neces-
sary to remove the duties on corn and
meat in order to conciliate consumers
and secure popular favor for his military
bill. Should this result follow the con-
fiict in the reichstag, it will give an i'm
petus to our exports of corn and pork
from which the American farmer will
derive great advantage, not greater,
however, than that which a large pro-
portion Of the German people will derive
from the cheapening of good food.--New
York World.

When we proclaim that the necessi-
ty for revenue to support the govern
ment furnishes the only Justification
for taxing the people we announce a
truth SO plain that its denial would
seem to indicate the extent to which
judgment may be influenced by famiI-
iarity with the perversions of the tax
ing power, and when we seek to rein
state the self confidence and business
enterprise of our citizens by discredit-
ing an AFFECT dependence upon gov
ernmental favor we strive to stimulate
these elements of American character
which support the hope of American
achievement. = President Cleveland's

A Good Home Endorsement.

Lancaster Teller
Hon. A. r. Bushnell has been in
Lancaster two or three days. His
term as congressman ended March 4.
February 18th lie made a speech in
congress on the subject of pensions.
This speech was published in the Con-
gressional Record of March 7th. 1t
Sits the subject in way hardly before
attempted and we refer to its subject
matter again. Mr.. Bushnell has been
an efficient member. He looked well
to the interests Of the people. Not
much was accomplished, but when we
get far enough long to be able to send
such men as him from a majority Of
the districts of the Union, we may ex-
pect to have improved legislation.

The Folly Of Protection.

John e. Carlisle.
Whatever makes it easier for the people
to live decently and comfortably, what
ever makes the neceSsaries of life which
che people are bound to buy and use cheap
er and less expensive to the masses, is q
blessing to mankind, and l have never
been able to appreciate the wisdom of that
policy which compels men to work longer
and harder in order to procure food, raj
ment and shelter for themselves and their
families; have never been able to appre-
clate either the economic truth or the hui
mainly of the proposition that the people
can be made happy and prosperous by tax
alton, whether the purpose of that taxa
ton be to defray extravaganza expenditures
on the part of the government, or to in
crease the prices which the people pay for
what they eat, drink and wear
Mr.. President, any one who contends in
this day, as the senator from Nevada (Mr.
Stewart) apparently has this morning,
that high prices of commodities are ben
eficial to the community at large, is at
war with the spirit of the age in which he
lives, at war with the genius of discovery
and invention which during the last half
century more than during any other like
period in the history of the world has
hLHelloTdleu the cOnQlCl0n or man Kind by
bringing all the necessaries of life, and
many of its luxuries, within the reach of
every man who is willing to work.
1speak of production and distribution
together, because cheap and easy distribu-
ton is just as important, both to the pro-
Queer and to the consumer, as cheap and
easy production; therefore every shackle
Imposed upon commerce. every restriction
upon honest trade, every interference with
the free exchange of products in the mar
kets of the world increases prices and de-
prives the people of the benefits which
they have right to enjoy, and which they
otherwise would enjoy, resulting from i'm
proved industrial and commercial methods.
But, Mr.. President, it is unnecessary to
pursue this line of argument further, be-
cause at last it appears to be admitted by
the friends of the protective system that
cheap commodities for the use of the people
are beneficial. and the senator from Rhode
Island tMr. Aldrich), speaking here three
lays ago as the chosen champion of that
system, bases his defense of the tariff act
Of 1890 almost solely upon the ground that
it has reduced prices and enlarged the for
eign commerce of the country

perforation. Saltpetre poisoning always caused vomiting, cramps in the stomach, local contraction in muscles, heat, ner- vousness and thirst. Found no evidence of saltpetre poisoning when he analysed the stomach. In regard to strychnine,
 THE WITNESS STATED
 that the liquid form was absorbed most rapidly, the powder next and the crystal least rapidly. CThe professor exhibited to the jury tubes containing strychnine taken from the stomach of Mir Manner ing, from the stomach of the pig and from one of the cans.) On crcss-exami- nation the professor said that vomiting was seldom present in cases of poisoning from stryehnine, but always present and very frequent in saltpetre poisoning. Saltpetre was found in very smaff quantity in the contents of the stomach of MT Mannering. It absorbs very rap- idly, even after death. The professor could not tell whether much saltpetre had been absorbed as he had not exam ined the remaining organs of the body. MT Schmeidel, being recalled for cross examination, identified the pieces of pa- per used in wrapping the bottles of strychnine shown at Roxbury and at Litchfield. He could not identify piece of paper shown by MT Williams but would not swear that it was not the same Tiaaa hot ha ncal in the bottle of strychnine sold to Mrs Manner ing on December 21.
 Edward Finn, deputy sheriff, corroborated Coroner Higgins testimony in regard to the care and de- livery of package intact to MT Higgins.

found the body already growing stiff. Supposed death was from natural causes and from intemperance. Found at au- topsy no signs of apoplexy or heart fail- ure. Advised Mrs Mannering to send for medical examiner of Roxbury. The wit ness further testified that Mrs ManneriDg told him that her husband had been drinking heavily, that he had taken salts and saltpetre and soen- afterwards had convulsions and that he had had similar attacks before. On cross-examination the doctor stated that he advised Mrs Mannering to send for the medical exam finer simply so she could obtain a proper certificate of death, as no physician was in regular attendance. At the time he supposed the cause of death was heart
 failure. Mrs Mannering's actions were
 such as would naturally be expected un- der the circumstances. She had been
 weeping.
 Carl SchoverliDg, New Milford to-
 bacco dealer, testified to buying 22S3
 pounds of tobacco from MT Mannering on January 19, 1893. The check he gave MT Mir Mannering was cashed January 2l. The cross-examination of the witness by
 Lawyer Williams was more productive of amusement for the audience than of important facts for the defense.
