storation of the tariff on wool The plea
is that q tariff would tend to diminish

IT would be manifestly unfair and un~
reasonable for Chief Wikerson to pay
$4,000 in damages for which suit has
been instituted by the young coIored
men who were unjustly imprisoned for
six months, but somebody ought TO pay
damages. Such things are too common
and should be stopped. There is hardly a
Jail in the state that does not contain one
or mora prisoners who have not been
convicted of any crime. Why should
people be thus punished first and tried
afterwards? The courts are almost con-
stantly in session, and if necessary they
should sit the year around or until these
cases are disposed Of The judges are
paid for full time.

in it.
Nr. Troutman said: 'Those people
have gone down there and by persistent
hammering they have interested re-
sponsible men in the scheme and they
are actually building a road which they
will soon have completed between Gal
weston and Beaumont, distance of sixty
miles. The road is through good terri
tory, and as Galveston people have been
wanting a road there for long time, it
ought to pay.
Buffalo Jones left for the east the

Cherryvale Champion: Scientists say
that there are caterpillars which eat ], 800
times their own weight in a week. Yet
we are killing off the birds that eat
them. How will this land look in fifty
years when the birds are all gone and the
caterpillars are all here? The English
sparrow does not count, because he does
not eat caterpiJlars; at least not to speak
OF. Whenever a woman looks up at our
rusty, riddled, stunted and dying trees
she ought to register vow that she will
never again wear a dead bird in her

Mr.. HoRR has discovered that the
corporations and the banks would be
greatly benefited by the free coinage of
silver because they could meet their
obligations in cheap money. If that is
true they should favor the restoration of
silver and if they favor it, it is as good as
done, because the banks and corporations
never fail to get what they want in this
country. Evidently Mr.. Cleveland had
not heard of this or silver would have
been restored to coinage long ago.

The investigation which is to be I'M

likely to throw any new light on the
story of Encouragement, incompetency
and cruelty in connection with that in

in arousing the people to determine
ton to take the management of the

WHERE is all this foreign silver to
