originally told by Vice President Stew

In Kentucky town where Joe was
going to speak there was hanging set
for the same afternoon. Joe's arrival
was heralded abroad, and large crowd
was on hand to hear the words of wis
dom and of eloquence which always
flow from Kentuckian's lips. Final
ly the speaker arrived. The hanging
was a sideshow, and for the moment
was forgotten in the anxiety to hear
the famous orator. But it was not for
gotten long. The condemned man sud-
denly interposed:
"Mr. Hangman," he said, "if re-
member right was sentenced to be
hung, not to hear Joe Blackburn speak.

REDUCTION OF DUTIES.
Uphill Work of the Democrats in Cap
turing the Markets of the World.


Chairman Wilson, of the ways and
means committee of congress, dis
coursed eloquently before his London
admirers of the Frightening possibili-
ties of American commerce in the mar
kets of the world in consequence Of
tariff reform.
The official figures show that for the
first full month under the new tariff
the exports of merchandise from the
United States was S57, ,S11, ,527, which
was 81, 2,247, ,125 less than those for Sep
tember, 1898, under the old tariff and
in the midst of the financial strin-
gency then existing.
Duties on cotton goods were also re-
duced by the new tariff, and as we al
ready had ''free raw material in the
form of cotton, according to Mr.. Will
sons free trade notions we should have
increased our exports and decreased
our imports of cotton manufactures
Instead of that, the exports of cotton
goods shrunk from 81 ,240, 1s5 in Sep
tember, 1898, to S1.03S, ,10I in Septem-
ber, 1894, while our imports of cotton
goods increased from 81, 466, ,345 in Sep
tember, 1898, to s., 225.O54 in September,
1894.
Taking these figures as basis can
Prof. Wilson and his fellow free
traders figure out just how long it will
be before the United States captures
the markets of the world by reducing
duties?1Troy Times.

Mr.. OLNEY'S REPORT.
The Attorney General Shows What the De-
partment of Justice Has Done.

The Attorney General Shows What the De-
partment of Justice Has Done.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.-The attorney
generals annual report to congress,
made public yesterday. shows the af-
fairs with which the departments of
Justice has had to deal during the past
year have been in some particulars of
unusual interest and Importance.
After mentioning the steadily increas-
ing business of the circuit courts of
appeals, Mr.. Olney suggests that, as
the system has come to stay. an addi-
tional circuit judge should be appoiD ted
in each of the Seventh and Ninth cir
cults, and possibly in the Sixth.
The report directs attention to GER
tain recommendations in the last an
nual report and requests their favor
able consideration by congress. They
relate to. first. the abolition of the sys-
TEN by which the United States dis
trict attorneys, marshals. clerks and
commissioners are paid by fees. Sec
ond, the vesting in United States COM
missioners, wherever it can be legally
done. and in the territories certainly,
jurisdiction over minor Offenses within
the grade of misdemeanors. Third,
making writs of error in eases of crime
not capital run to the circuit court of
appeals instead of to the supreme
court. Fourth. the recognition of de-
grees in the crime of murder and in the
punishment therefor. Fifth, writs of
error on behalf of the United States in
criminal cases.
The attorney-general briefly reviews
the course taken by the department
with reference to the ''commonweal-
ers.-
Mr.. Olney devotes several pages of
his report to the Pullman strike. in the
course of which he says the relation
to it of the department of justice was
indirect and arose only when the rail-
roads of the country became involved
and the passage of United States mails
and the movements of interstate com
merce were interfered with.
In commenting On the status of the
Union Pacific Railroad Co. as a creditor
of the United States, reference is made
to tn report of Hon. George Hoadley,
special counsel for the United States.
In the same connection the attorney
general quotes at length the report he
made to congress on April 26 last, ex-
planning the repetition of said report
as follows: ''All reasons therein stated
for immediate congressional action
looking to a reorganization of the
Union Pacific Railroad Co. still exist
indeed, have only increased in forcf by
the lapse of time"

of two sums, aggregating S20,1 on
August 81, 1873.
Capt. Henry w. Howgate was for
merly disbursing officer of the United
States signal service and used his of
fetal position to embezzle about $3.50, 900
of Uncle Sans money. During the
twelve years since this man escaped
the secret service has been untiring in
its efforts to capture him. and he was
finally arrested in New York. where
under the name of Harvey Williams he
was found keeping a second hand book
store. He said he had been in New
York for about six years. He first ap-
peared in Washington in 1865, and in
1880 resigned his official position under
cloud. His name was known as an
Arctic explorer from ocean to ocean.

COMMENT AND OPINION.

HThe western man who wants to
run for president on the democratic
ticket in 1896 is keeping mighty still
about it-St Louis Globe-Democrat.
cH-In his message President Cieve-
land passed over the Hawaiian affair
with such alacrity as to suggest that
it was hot to his touch.-Chicago
Times (Dem-l.
STOf course Grover will take caro-
of Wilson. but William would feel
more at home as minister to the court
of St James than on the supreme
bench.-Toledo Blade.
EFF there are any blunders the
Cleveland administration has failed to-
commit in it's dealings with foreigners
it has over two years yet in which to
perpetrate them.-Chicago Tribune.
rHThe Improvement on the Nc
Kinley bill'' is already decorated with
an increase of one hundred million
dollars in the interest-bearing debt
and the certainty that current ex-
penses cannot be met for some time.
There are people who fail to see that
these cupolas are desirable addition
to McKinley's architecture--St Louis
Globe-Democrat.
cB-The republicans are virtually
pledged to resist any further tariff leg
islation for the next three years. They
will therefore be fully justified in op-
posing with all the means at their
command the taking up of the supple
mentary tariff bills The attempt to
bring them forward will precipitate a
fight that will most likely render any
other legislation impossible. If the
democrats wish to take the RESPONSE
bility for such a course they will do So
with the full knowledge that they will
render their party still more odious in
the eyes of the country.-Minneapolia

MAKERS OF NATIONAL DEBT.
The Democrats Have Always Crippled the
Country Financially.

Country Financially.
During the past year the public debt
of the United States has been increased
by one hundred millions. OF course
everybody knows that the increase is
due to the fact that a democratic ad-
ministration is in control of all
branches of the government at Wash
ington-that party pledged to free
trade is running the government.
Everybody expected that the pub
lie debt would be increased by the
democratic free trade administration.
1t followed as a matter of course, for
the public debt has always increased
under free trade The New York Ad-
vertiser has been investigating the
subject, and it finds that the country
was under a free-trade administration
from 1884 to 1912, from 1o46 to 1861, and
from 1898 to 1894, "a years in all inclu-
sive From 1924 to 1888, from 1915 to
1916, and from 1866 to 1893 a protection
administration was in power, making
40 years inclusive for protection. The
years from 1861 to 1866 are left out
because the debt was then increased
to prosecute the war.
The total increase of the.debt during
the free trade period was S1s3, S65, ,O6s
or at the rate of S7,660.000 a year.
Between 1884 and 1872 the increase
was IS, ,S34, ,39S. Between LS46 and 1861
it was S75, ,OSO, ,61O, or at the rate of So
OO2. .O44 year. The increase in 1S94
was S100, 600, 000
During the protection era between
1924 and 1888 the debt was reduced
SS3, PCS, o1S, or at the rate of 50, 252, 0Os
a year. Between 1913 and 1916 the de
crease was So, ,O51, ,023, or at the rate ot
81, 443, 40 year. Between 1866. when
the republican party undertook the
task of paying the war debt. and 1898
when the democrats came into power
the debt was reduced by the enormous
sum of 81, IT'S. 125. .0lZ, or at the rate OF
| S43, 523, l4S year.
A more instructive lesson upon the
comparative benefits of protection and
free trade could hardly be given. Al
the same time these figures illustrate
in a striking way the superiority OF
the republican party as a governing
power over the democratic party
which is now in control of affairs a,
