NEW WITNESS FOUND.
Frank Bardeen OF Otsego, Mich, Brought
to Testify Against Coughlin.


CHICAGO, Jan. 6.-Anotlcr new and
important witness for the state in the
Coughlin case has been found in Frank
Bardcen of Otsego, Mich, who has
been brought to Chicago and will take
the stand probably to-day. What
the exact nature of his testimony may
be the state will not disclose until he
tells his story under oath. He is to a
certain extent an unwilling witness,
as he does not desire any notoriety in
connection with the case
There was n ruinor around the court
room to the effect that Bardeen, who
is miller at Otscgo, knew the man
Martin Dawn, who was brought from
Michigan by the conspirators to entice
DR.. Cronin away from home. 1t is also
said that Joe Mclaughlin, the brother
of Mrs. Foy, will be brought back from
Scotland to testify. Altogether there
is much sensational evidence likely to
be offered soon.
Mrs Winnifred Oman, widow of
Patrick Oman, the livcryman from
whom Dan Coughlin engaged a horse
and buggy on the afternoon of May T.,
was the first witness. She told about
the hiring of the rig that carried Gro
min to his doom, but nothing that was
new.
There was sensation in the court
room when Mr. Bottum called the
name of Mrs Susie Horton, the latest
and newest witness in the case
Infn n, n
introduction of her testimony, and
Judge Tuthill, while inclin at first
to permit the witness to testify at once
and to allow the attorneys for the de-
Tense to cross-eXamine her later,
finally decided to grant the defense's
request, but only to the extent that
Mrs Horizons examination be post
poned to o'clock in the afternoon.
Inspector Setback told about the find
ing of the bloody trunk and identified
it in the court room.
Before court opened in the after
noon the counsel on both sides held a
long conference in the judges chamber
over the evidence to bc given by Frank
Bardeen. The attorneys for the
defense demand the right to ques-
ton him and the court sustained them.
The counsel for the state were present
at the examination. Coughlin said
that he had never heard of Bardeen.
1t is claimed by the state that Bar
deem saw Daniel Coughlin, in company
with two other men. riding on wagon
in which was trunk at $40 o'clock on
the morning of May 4, 1889. This
trunk contained the body of DR.. Cronin,
and the new evidence will bear hard
against the prisoper.

INTERSTATE COMMISSION RE.
PORT,

A preliminary report of the income
and expenditures of railways in the
United States for the year ended June
80, 1898, has just been published by
the Interstate Commerce Commission.
The report includes the returns from
479 operating companies and covers
the operations of las, 869 SO miles of
line. The gross earnings were 81, O85,
1856, 281, of which 1922, 8O5 538 were
from passenger service, $739, 249, 265
from freight service, and $23, $50, 37S
we're other earnings. The operating
expenses we're 1886. 427, 532, leaving net
earnings of $3.50, 257, 749, which is
about $50 per cent. on the c~apitaliza-
ton of the roads reporting. Reduced
to a mileage basis, the gross earnings
were 81, 443 per mile of line; operating
expenses yer SIS, O42, and net earnings
were 81, 4O1. A comparison of these
items with the complete returns for
the previous year shows an increase
in gross earnings of $3.50 per mile of
line, IN operating expenses of 1898
resulting in a decrease in net earnings
of So per mile.
The report is not full. The 479 COM
panies represent most of the leading
corporations in the United States, but
the full report &C be issued later will
embrace over 20, 600 more miles of

HI CRIME OF 1873.

The goldbug organs are persistent in
their efforts to prove that Ernest Seyd.
the representative of the English
bankers, did not aid in demonetizing
silver in 1873. They claim that the
affidavit made by Mr.. F. A. Luken
bach, in which be swore that Ernest
Seyd told him he bought the American
Congress for $500, 900, is a forgery.
S me of the organs go so far as to say
that no mention of Ernest Seyd's con
nection with the passage of the bill is
made in the Congressional Record.
That is a shrewd dodge. The daily
journal of Congressional proceedings
In 1873 was called the Congressional
Globe. The name has been changed
since and it is now Congressional
Record. Another bit of argument is
that Ernest Seyd was a bimetallist,
hence would not be guilty of such a
crime. That is the way he did it. He
was in the country q year or more and
posed as a bimetallist, and won the
confidence of certain COngressmen who
were blmetallists. That made his
crime an easy job. With the assis-
lance OF Senator Sherman, then a poor
man. and who doubtless got most of
Une 1000, Seyd got his bill in shape

THE PEANUT SYNDICATE.

In another column is an article by
Judge Walter Clark, of our Supreme
Court, copied from the N. @. Bulletin,
which points out the iniquities of the
Peanut Syndicate. He is a practical
farmer and feels the evil he describes
If he had the power, Judge Clark
would rapidly diminish the number of
Robbers Roosts" that prey upon the
farmer.
While the cotton, grain, stock and
tobacco farmers have been protesting
vigorously for years, and many of
them have determined to vote them
selves out of the difficulty, the peanut
farmers have been strangely quiet, and
have been robbed every year. Judge
Clark suggests local peanut factories,
built by the producers themselves, as
one remedy. We trust that our farm
ers in Eastern North Carolina and Vir-
ginia will act effectually in this mat
ter.

The time floating newspaper
items about certain men who have
made farming pay, even in recent
years, must always be taken with some
degree of allowance. Mr.. R II. Hen
derson, of Penders township, comes to
town. He maybe visits the saloon
two or three times and then goes into
the county newspaper office to renew
his subscription. The editor may or
may not be a tool for ~plutocracy, but
he draws it out of Mr. Henderson, who
is in a boastful mood, that he has made
farming pay. Nine times out OF ten
Mr.. Henderson and his kind are only
making a ''show," and are badly in
debt. But the item goes the rounds.
Another class who make farming pay
are merchants, bankers or railroad
stockholders, and own a farm. OF
course they make it pay, but if they
had to live from the farm they might
not find time to boast much.
While the above is true, there are a
few farmers in every section who are
doing fairly well. They are raising
fine stock, running diaries, truck
farming, or some other specially.
They are succeeding just al a few men
are in other business. What we want
is to break up combinations, get equal
rights to all, better prices, etc., 90 all
grades of farmers may do better, and
then other lines OF business will move
along and a few will not be so far
ahead of the many. To make one mil
lionaire we must make a thousand
paupers; in making people poorer you
mako them more ignorant.

AN U~NcRArEFuL FARMER.

A good story is told of an American
farmer who had a servant with a very
large mouth. One day, the farmer
being ill, Sambo was dispatched to
market to dispose of a quantity OF
vegetables. On his way home he en-
countered two h~ighwaymen, who de
manded his money or his life. They,
however, could find no money. so after
a while they decamped with the horse
and cart. On arriving home Sambo
explained the robbery to his master,
but drew from the corner of his mouth
the money where he had placed it for
safety.
"Why in the name of thunder didn't
you put the horse and cart there, too9"
exclaimed his master.

OUR CONGRESSMAN AT WORK

Now and then the public get some
intimation of the loose: way things are
going on at Washington, though every
effort is put forth to suppress the news.
The Washington Post states that for
the past month the average attendance
at the night sessions of Congress has
been less than twenty five. One night
recently Congressman Waugh, of In
diana. closed a powerful speech on the
tariff as early as 10 $50 o'clock. There
was a fair sprinkling of people in the
galleries, they being there to kill time,
rather than for patriotic purposes. MI.
Brooshire, of Indiana, was Speaker pro
tenn for that night. Mr.. McKaig, of
Maryland, and Mr.. Waugh were the
only members on the floor of the
House. When Mr.. Waugh finished his
speech, Congressman McKaig moved
to adjourn. The Speaker fail d to
notice the motion, and the crowd of
idlers in the galleries discovered about
that time that the Speaker was sound
asleep, and rent the air with applause
and laughter (Which will be incor-
porated into Waugh's speech when it
comes out in the Congressional Record
Mr.. McKaig raised his voice to a high
pitch and finally awoke the Speaker,
who declared that the motion was car.

iournment of Congress, after the hour
of midnight. When the law went into
effect, closing the silver mines and cut
ting off the supply of money, the coun-
try witnessed a panic very similar to
the one that has been going on since
the demonstration act was pass I'd by
Cleveland & Co. a few months ago. It
differed in one particular. The people
we're not as poor and prices had been
good, hence the panic was not 80
severe. 1t continued until 1873, when
the Bland bill passed, giving a little
relief.
Now for the proof Hon. T. e. Wat
son has examined the Congressional
Globe of April 9th, 1873. In that days
proceeding he found a speech made by
Hon. s. Cooper. He was speaking in
advocacy of the characterization bill
and said: THE bill was prepared two
years ago. Mr.. Ernest Seyd, of Lon
don, a distinguished writer, who has
given great attention to the subject of
minis and coinage, and after examin-
ing the first draught of this bill, fur
nished many valuable suggestions
which have been incorporated in this
bill"
Here is further testimony, indisput-
able testimony, too. The Bankers
Magazine for August, 1873, contained
the following: In 1872, silver being
demonetized in France, England and
Holland, a capital of $500, 600 was
raised, and Ernest Seyd, of London,
was sent to this country with this
fund, as agent for the foreign bond,
holders and capitalists, to effect the
same object, which was accomplished
Now what better evidence do you want9
Of course every little banker in the
country read that and were made to
believe that it would be money in their
pockets, just as the little bankers were
fooled last year when the English and
New York bondholders were conspir-
ing to ruin this country for their own
benefit. The result is we'll known.
Nearly every small banker and thou
sands of other business men were
ruined just as the characterization act
of 1898 is now running them. Talk
about ''greenhorns." The small bank
ers and business men of America are
the green9st greenhorns on earth.
Twice intwenty years they have signed
their own financial death warrants and
helped drag their neighbors down with
them.

Congressman Patterson, of Tennes-
see, brought out a good idea in regard
to the benefits of an income tax in a
speech the other day. He says the
wealthy would take more interest in
governmental economy, and would
oppose unnecessary expenditures if
they had to pay the bills by means of
an income tax. That is sound philos-
Ophy.
