Deposition OF q Farmer.

@. How long have you resided in the
UrAed States?
~. Fifty years.
q. What proportion of the people Of
your country are engaged in the farming
industry?
A. About two-thirds Of tho people of
the United States
@. What are the two chief farm prod
ucts?
A. Wheat and cotton.
Q. Which is the best for the farmer a
high protective tariff like the Mckinley
bill or low tariff TOR revenue only like
the Wilson bill, and why?
A. A low tariff like the Wilson bill is
the best for the farmer; because the pric-
es on his wheat and cotton is fixed in free
trade markets like Liverpool and London,
wheYa-h;s wheat aa6 oei.an comes in COB
ssust sest che shses OF Australia and Ia
dis md cottsR Of 1f>dia and Egypt and
labor countries, and when he sells his
wheat in these markets in competition
With the world, or at home at the price
them free Trade markets have fixed upon
his products he is denied the privilege of
buying his plows, clothing and nccessarles
ut prices that are likewise fixed by COM
petition in foreign markets, bnt Inc Nc
Kinley law makes him pay the manufac-
turer an enormous profit, in other words,
SAYS to him, sell your farm products in
competition with the paupcr labor Of the
world, but you arc bound to pay the man
ufacturcr on the things you buy, the
prices fixed by the Mckinley protective
tariff.
@. Does the government get this tax!
A. No, sir, the manufacturers have ar
range it so they get slmost all of it,whicl
has caused a depleted treasury, and the
government has had TO borrow none;
from the trusts to pay running expenses
@. How does farming now compare
With the same industry when the Demo
Gratis we're last in power?
A. The Democrats have always beer
the best friends to the farmer. because
they did not believe in granting specla
fayors to the few, but believed in cqua
rights to all, and under such laws tn
farmers prospered. It will take lon:
time for the farmers to clear off the mort
cages and other membranes the IN
ioutious Mckinley and kindred Eepubll
can laws have placed upon their farms
but there is hope now, for since the pas
sage of the Wilsod bill corn, hogs, pofa
toes, cattle and other farm products ar
advancing, and clothing, farming uten
sils and all nocessaries of lifcare so mucl
cheaper that We have hope and will cleo

WILL REMAIN IN LEESBURG.-This
was the decision announced to his con-
gregation on Sunday by Rev. Berry
man Green, rector of st. James Episco-
palian Church in Leesburg. The fact
of the hattering call extended to Mr..
Green by the congregation of St. Paul's
Church, Alexandria, was announced
last week, and since then both pastor
and people here have been much exer-
cised, the one as to where his duty lay
and the other over the possibility of
losing an esteemed and popular pastor.
AT the Sunday morning service, just be-
fore the otfertory, all doubts were set
at rest when Mr.. Green advanced TO
the rail of the chancel and very feeling
ly announced to his people that after a
week of severe struggle and in the face
OF almost every pressure to induce him
to change his field of labor, he had de-
cided to remain with them, and as their
pastor asked their sympathy, prayers
aud cooperation. Mr.. Green did not
attempt to preach, but dismissed the
congregation as soon as the service was
ended. Mr.. Green's determination to
remain in Leesburg is received with
great satisfaction not only by his own
congregation, but by the community at
large, in which he is highly esteemed
for his worth, both as minister aud
man. We hope he may never have
cause to regret his decision in which
we see St. Paul's loss but St. James
gain.-lM1ror.

exit from the city jail this morning with
out undergoing any more trouble than
that of opening a door leading into the

door-the same road others have taken

Warden Holt at the time these birds
concluded to take French leave, at $50
O'Clock, was in the corridor adjoining
the pas. age-way to the front door en-
gagged in taking buckets of coal from g
boy who was in the cellar He had
closed the door of the corridor but had
failed to secure it. Several prisoners
were near him at the time, and the
warden having stopped to arrange
shoe string, Corbin and Bradley avail
ed themselves of this opportunity to
make their escape. Walking to the
door they pulled it open and rushed
into the passageway and out the front
door, which was open. The warden,
upon seeing the two men leave, jump
ed quickly to his feet and locked the
door in order to prevent others, who
were nearby, from initiating the ex-
ample set by the two fugitives. City
Sergeant Smith, upon learning of the
escape, started in pursuit of Corbin and
Bradley, but they are doubtless ere this
some distance from Alexandria. The
first-named with three others of his
own color had been sent on to court for
stealing chickens few weeks ago, and
the latter was undergoing term of
imprisonment for HOUSEKEEPING in the
county.

THE AQUEDUCT BRIDGE.-A report
was received yesterday by the District
of Columbia Commissioners from En-
gineer Hunt, regarding the pending
legislation for the use of the Aqueduct
Bridge by street railways. The report
states chat the sub-structure is known
TO be in need of repair, and sets forth
mdetail Just what repairs are necessary.
The forth pier from The Virginia side is
ina dangerous condition. 1t may last
lorycarS and it may collapse tomorrow
lis condition is almost certain to be-
come progressively worse. The exnen-
dlrre necessary to properly repair the
submarine portion Of the bridge exceeds
many times the entire amount appro-
Rated for bridge repairs. As to the
Snperstructure, it would cost S2l 300 to
widen the sidewalks to nine feet slX
Inches and lay single track railroad
To reconstruct the bridge and mako II
suitable for double track railroad
would cost $4,000. Mr.. Hunt said
thai in his opinion q railroad across the
bridge would be public convenience
and as no provision was made by the
bills under consideration as to the
Motive power to be employed, he re
commended electricity. Regarding the
bridge, Commissioner Powell said that
Twice recently the defective piers hac
oeen repaired out of the small appro-
praton available for the purpose
according to the report of the Secre,
larry of War the Commissioners hao
Submitted to Congress the estimate o
NIo7 for repairing the bridge. The
amount had been cut out of the district
appropriation,an and Capt. Powell thought
me responsibility of the Commissioner:
ended there. He seems to favor The
proposition to allow railroad tt
use the bridge, as a possible means o
having the bridge put in good condition
