A BIG FAILURE AT DIES MONIES.
An Investment Company With $780,
600 Capital Goes Under.

Des Moines, Ia, Dec. A.-The Lewis In
vestment Company, one of the oldest finan-
cial concerns in the city, and always re-
garded as strong, assigned this after
noon, naming Nelson Royal as assignee.
The company had 100000 capital. The
failure was directly caused by the refusal
of local banks to further carry the COM
pany's accommodation paper. The con-
Germ had extensive investments in real es-
tate mortgages in this city and Omaha,
and in the last two years has been com
PEELED to take much unproductive property.
1t had also sold mortgages to the amount
of about 50 600 in the east and in Eu-
rope, but the officers say these We're not
guaranteed by the company. The sched-
ules of assets and liabilities We're not MED,
but President George H. Lewis says the
assets are about $425, 900 nominally. and the
liabilities $4,000. 1t is believed here that
the assets will shrink in liquidation to
about 50 cents on the dollar.

A JUDGE IN THE WRONG.
He Sentences an Editor for Contempt
of Court.

Asheville, N. c., Dec A.-Last July the
Citizen of this city forcibly and earnestly
commented on the removal by Judge H
G. Ewart of the criminal circuit court of
d murder trial from this, Buncombe,
county to Henderson county. The Citizen
sald,f among other things, That the re-
moVal of the case to Henderson is I'M
necessary, expensive and a reflection on
the intelligence of the people of Bun
combe." Judge Ewart at once hauled the
editor of the Citizen into his court for
contempt and sentenced him to pay a
fine of $3.50 and be imprisoned in the
county Jail for thirty days though the
editor having purged himself of contempt
an appeal was taken to the supreme
court of North Carolina and that court
mas Just rendered its decision. The opin-
ion is favorable to the Citizen, the SUI
preme court finding that Judge Ewart
was in error, and that there was no con-
tempt in the Citizens editorial

WAGES OF THE COKE WORKERS.
An Advance of 10 to Is Per Cent. for
All Grades of Labor.

Petersburg, Pa, Dec. A-The coke work
ers of the Connellsville region will enjoy
their Christmas tomorrow if an increase
in wages is an acceptable gift. All the
coke companies will post notices to-mor-
row morning of an advance of from 10
to Is per cent. for all grades of labor.
The new rate of wages will be the highest
ever paid in the region. Between $4,000
and 1900 workers will be benefited by
the advance. 1t is generally believed the
advance in wages will make an increase
in the selling price of coke.

VIRGINIA.
Chauncey Depew,s Diagnosis.

"If the landslide had been local to New
York State j should have said that the Repub-
lican party owes its victory to the Warner Mil
Ter sacred-Sunday plank, the most conspicuous
plank in the party platform. As the proper
ton OF victory, however, has been uniform the
country over we are forced TO the conclusion
that tho Democratic legislation and failure to
legisate combined are responsible for that
party's defeat. After two years of Democratic
rule the people found the predominant party
divided against itself; divided on the currency
question, divided on the tariff issue and di-
yided on foreign policy. With such State of
affairs, and 100000 men out of work. the peo-
pie virtually became discouraged and disguised.
As work became more scarce less money was
paid for labor, and the workingman in this
country saw the purchasing power of the pro-
ceeds of his labor growing less and less. Every
body was aflected-the storekeeper, the manu-
facturer and the laboring man. Let US return
10 the good old Republican time-the times of
Harrison-wss the thought that aetuated men
when they went to the polls to vote last Tues
day. The victory, in my mind, then. was due
to National issues; the failure of the party in
power to do anything for the people, poor legis-
lation where none needed, aud lack of
legislation where quick action was urgently
wanted '--
