Two Opinions.

Let your neishbor have his own opinion
and respect him for it. If you think be is
wrong, tell him so, and try to show him
wherein he errs. But do not love him less
if you fail to induce him to adopt your way
of thinking. Remember that it takes
humanity,,to look at every phase of a Ques
ton. and the man who thinks he alone can
see the truth, is bigot.-Ex.
Il find comfort at times in toe observa-
ton that, although limits are set to genius,
there is no limit to stupidity. Never ar
CUE; you will never convince anybody;
opinions are alise nails, the harder you
hammer at them the deeper you drive
them in."-DHmas.

III. H HOLMES, or Herman Mudgett,
whose name or alias has rung throughout
the length and breadth of the continent
as the most unscrupulous and skilltul
murderer of modern times, was placed on
trial in the court of Oyer and Terininer OF
Philadelphia, Monday. The specific
charge to which he is called to answer
is the murder of Benjamin F. Petzel,
and he has already officially declared
himself not gnilty.
Holmes created a sensation in Court
Monday by discharging his attorneys
and conducting his case himself. A
Jury was selected. Tuesday, he weaken
ed and sent for his attorneys who came
back to him; and considerable evidence
was taken.
. On Wednesday the case was continued,
Holmes taking the lead on his side. Mrs.
Pietzel told the remarkable and horrible
story of the disappearance of her family,
and of her finding their bodies at the
morgue.

THE Yellowstone National Park IS one
of the greatest of natural wonders ana
much has been done to make the trip
through it comfortable and enjoyable
But, according to the report of the Super
intendent, the number of visitors IS de-
creasing instead of increasing. In 1892
it was nearly 1000; in 1898, it was 3o7o;
last year, it was 1856; and this year up to
July IS, it was only 425. And yet the
travel to Europe grows larger every year
while this and other interesting regions
of our own country are neglected.

THE Republican committee of Indiana
county at a recent meeting decided to
change the rule for nominating candi-
dates for Congress and the State Senate
so that the candidate receiving the ma
jority of the popular vote shall be the
nominee They will endeavor to have
the other counties in the district take
similar action. On its face this would
seem to be the best method of making
nominations. 1t certainly would be the
idea method if men were governed more
by their reason and less by their preju-
dices. If the qualification and fitness of
men were alone considered, and county
lines were not regarded, the method of
nominating by the popular vote would
result in much good. Better men would
be secured and there would be no dis
gusting deadlocks, and no scandalous
accusations of bribery in conferences.
This would not result as some would
think, in the people of each county vot-
ing solidly for their own man, and thus
giving the larger counties of a distri ct an
advantage of the smaller ones. Men of
capacity and courage; with good repu-
tation in their home counties can easily
make friends in adjoining counties.

THE expedition of DIR. Bell OF the Geo
logical Survey, undertaken last June INTO
the fastness of British America by rouLe
directly north from Ottowa to Rupert
House on James Bay, has resulted in tn 2
discovery of river which DIR. Bell de-
scribes as the Nile of the North and sixth
largest river in the world. Its average
width is mile, and it is 500 miles long.
1t has three large tributaries, one rising
north of Three Rivers, and another in the
lake St. John region and the third neal
lake Mistassini. A primeval forest skirts
the rivers brink the whole distance,
which is navigable to the rapids to the

THE Republican National Committee
will shortly decide the time and place for
holding the next National Convention.
Chairman Carter, who was i'll Washing
ton lately said that he had asked the
opinion of every member Of the Commit
tee by letter, and has had personal con-
ferences with number of them. 1t is
an inviolable rule that tie Committee
meeting which decides the time and place
for the Convention must be held SIX
months previous to the date upon which
the Convention meets. There is differ
ence of opinion, both in and out of the
Committee, as to whether the Convention
should be as early as May, or whether it
should be held after the Democratic Con
vention;-in other words, whether the
Presidential campaign shall be long or
q short one. The decision lies entirely
with he National Committee, although
the action of its members will, of course,
be largely influenced by the opinion of
other leading Republicans. Should a
majority of the Committee indicate their
preference for holding the Convention in
May, the Committee meeting will have
to be held sometime next month.

BUYING AND SELLING.
Another Free Trade Theory Smashed to
Smithereens.

Another Free Trade Theory Smashed TO
Smithereens.
One of the greatest of the free trade war
cries has always been that IF we did not
buy we could not sell" meaning that II
we manufactured in our own country all
theI goods required for our own market
without importing any from foreign coun-
tries, then foreign countries would not buy
any of our farm products or domestic man
ufactures. Many people have been fool
ish enough to believe this theory. Now
let US look at the facts.
Taking the statistics of our import and
export trade for the fiscal years ending
June 80, 1919, as supplied by the bureau
of statistics of the treasury department,
we find that our imports from European
countries during the two years were as
follows:
IMPORTS FROM EUROPE.
sao3 $50 eiz
........-..-..-...------- so'o'''ooo
Increase, .. ............... Ss7, s9I7
1t appears that during the 1895 year,
since the German tariff went into effect,
we bought from European countries for
eign goods worth SIS, COS, ,977 more than we
bought in 1894. Having increased our pur-
chases by this large sum of money in
single year we naturally turn to the figures
of our exports, expecting to find that we
have increased our sales of American
goods by about the same amount Of money,
but what do we find? Here are the figures:
EXPORTS TO EUROPE.
1s94.............. 500. $40 t2
oZis'o 100
Decrease 1895. S72. ,S95 $50
1t seems that during 1895 we sold to
European countries S72, sos, $50 worth less
of our American products and manufact-
ures than we did during the fiscal year
ending June 80, 1894 In the 1895 year we
spent over SIS, ,6OO, 900 more money in Eu-
ropean countries, and they spent 81, SOO,-
900 less money in this country. We GER
tainly bought more from them, but in
stead of their returning the compliment,
they bought less from us. Our loss for
the years deal under the German tariff,
which is only the first step toward free
trade, exceeded sl6O, 600, 900. Thus another
free trade theory is smashed.

The Republican Record and the Dem
cratic Exhibit to Date.

The Republican Record and the Demo-
cratic Exhibit to Date.
The very considerable reduction of the
public debt began with General Grants
administration. In March, 1869, the total
funded debt of the United states was
about 1850, 600, 900, not including un-
settled claims, that, in the aggregate,
amounted to tens of millions or more. At
the close of General Harrison 5 administra-
tion the public debt, in excess of cash on
hand, was trifle less than $Sf0,O 900.
Thus in the twenty-four years from 1869
to 1898, while the country was subject to
the policy of the Republican party in
finance and business, the national debt
was reduced in the enormous sum of
nearly 81, 800, 100000. The first term Of
Mr. Cleveland is included in the twenty
four years, inasmuch as his election was
not attended or followed by any change
of policy until the year 1898, nor from 1885
to 1889 was any change apprehended.
During these twenty-four years the re
duction was at rate of SO, ,000,0OO year.
Under the Cleveland administration the
country is treated to deficit of S57, ,000, 600.
"a change of s136, 100000 per annum.
The enormous deficit is due to the policy
of the Democratic party, and for that pol
icy that party is now on trial.-Boston

still believe in bleeding man and letting
his blood drip for all sorts OF illness from
a stubbed toe to scalp wounds against
anti-toxine. He says that 1t produces
blood poisoning, and that it should not
be used He will please explain why,
when anti-toxine is used the death rate
in diphtheretic cases decreases to an
amazing extent? He ought to catch up
