A great land caseis about to be tried
at Parkersburg, West Virginia, where
II. c. King of Boston is SUNG for the
possession Of 100000 acres OF land in the
southwestern part of the State, Kings
claim rests on a grant blythe House of
Burgesses of Virginia in 1895, of $780,
900 acres Of land to Gen. James Swami
of Boston, revolutionary hero. Gen.
Swami proposed to found there a sort of
Utopia and went to France to gain the
cooperation OF friends in the French
navy. They were enthusiastic over the
idea, but while there Swami contracted
so many debts that he was thrown into
prison, where he remained ten years and
died soon after his release. The State
revoked the grant to him, but settled
the land on his heirs. In the mean
while settlers by the thousand had
located on the tract and had sold and
bought the land in good faith, till now
the claimants on the land amount to
hundreds OF thousands, whole towns
and hamlets being located on it, while
numbers of mining and lumber COM
panies are interested. In all there are
nearly twenty-five attorneys engaged in
the matter and on the decision hangs
suits for the rest of the tract.

-Four thousand Indians, representing
twelve tribes, were gathered in Yakima,
Washington, a few days ago. 1t was
The largest collection of Indians in re-
cent years. With the money earned in
The hop fields and a recent distribu-
zion of money received for reservation
lands the Indians had fully 100000
among them, and this they were doing
their best to get rid of. The State fair
was being held in Yakima. and there
was every inducement for the red men
to part with their cash. They gambled
recklessly on the races, and bought
guns, blankets, provisions, and practi-
cally everything in sight. Several In
dian races were arranged, and in one
squaw race more than two dozen In
dian women took part The tribes rep
resented included the Yakimas, Nez
Perces, Shoshones, Umatillas, Colvilles,
Spokanes, Klicl1itats, Puyallups, Mes
uualies, Warm Springs, and Okanogans.

Mrs. E. G. Cline, the noted prohibition
talker of Iowa, spoke in the assembly
room of the city hall last night She
poured some hot shot into the republican
party, and dismissed the democrats with
few words, saying they didn't pretend
TO be good and were consistently wrong
The speaker said she proposed to try
the case of the State VS.. the Liquor traffic,
and all of her witnesses would be repub-
licans.
~. Il. Foraker, on October 1, asked to
have the case dismissed, saying there was
no cause Of action. We propose to have a
trial, and allow the people to render u
verdict on November 8. Foraker has evi
IDENTIFY studied law, as he adopted the old
theory, If you have the law, argue the
law II you have the evidence, plead the
evidence; II you have neither, give the
other fellow fits. Foraker had neither,
so he gave the democrats fits. "
She then poured continuous volloy of
facts into the Foraker Cox Bushnell
clique, as could not be oontroyCrted, even
by those against whom she directed her
charges. OF General Bushnell she said:
Bushnell may be good man, 70 all
know, but II he was, George d. Cox
would not sustain him"
The speaker closed with an appeal for
votes for the prohibition ticket and also
for liberal collection, which was then
taken up by the leaders.

Lancaster o., October 1S.-Ex Cover
nor James e. Campbell Thursday began
his campaign in, the Hooking valley,
hurling his challege into the teeth of the
enemy. In the presence of two of the
greatest audiences ever assembled in the
halls he made good his. s.promise OF " from
every stump and on every hillside Of the
Hooking valley 1 will denounce the In
famous steal of the canal by tho,corruI t
gang which dominated the last general
assembly 4"
The republican leaders have been pre-
dieting that Campbell would lose thous-
ands of votes if he dared to continue to
denounCe the steal. At Chillicothe he
accepted the thus implied challenge and
predicted that he would be greeted by the
largest audiences ever seen in the valley.
This prediction was. fulfilled. when he
opened the campaign at Logan, the capt.
tai Of Hooking county. Here he was re-
oeived by the greatest democra ic meeting
since the campaign of Ewing and Rice.
Campbell emphatically declared that
he faN ored the new railroad up the valley.
He points out, however, that the legisla-
ture had refused an offer Of $25, 900 more
b nus and $4,000 more per annum rental
an d had also defeated proposition to sell
1t to the highest bidder, thing totally
'pugnant to fair minded men.

STATESMEN HARD PUSHED.
Sherman and Mckinley Want "Protectior
For Revenue"


What could be more tame and sense
less than the demand of Mckinley and
Senator Sherman for a re-enactment Of
the tariff bill of 1890 on the plea Of in
creasing the revenues?
The Mckinley bill was not intended
for revenue, but for protection. Nobody
knows better than do the Ohio magnates
that it was a complete failure as a rev.
enue bill.
The assurance Of these champions Of
lost cause must be indeed great when
they propose to supplant the Wilson bill
by the Mckinley bill on revenue grounds,
knowing as they must that the last year
the Mckinley bill was in operation it
did not furnish as much revenue as the
Wilson bill has furnished during the
past year.
The inevitable outcome of overprotec-
tion is to deplete the revenues through
the unnatur4l stimulation which over
loads the markets and clogs export at
the same time. But for the Mckinley
bill the Wilson bill would be producing
far more revenue than it now does.
Messrs. Mckinley and Sherman and
their newspaper hackers must indeed be
hard pushed for material when they
propose ON revenue grounds the re-enact-
ment of bill which facts and figures
show to have been complete failure. -

become operative until January of
the present year, however, Since the
beginning of the present year it has
been In full effect In every schedule

with the promise and expectation that
II would increase the wages of labor
while reducing the cost OF the neces-
saries of life. How well these prom
ises have been kept is now a matter

Now Tariff Marks an Era.

The tariff of 1894 is an imperfect
measure. 1t is not fairly comparable
with the tariff of 1916, but, like that
tariff, it is the beginning of the move
ment toward unembarrassed trade. 1t
marks the second time in the history Of
the country when the friends of the pro-
tectiye system have been fought TO a
standstill. 1t may be possible that the
Republicans will nominate William Nc
Kinley and try if they cannot once more
fool the people with the old cry, but it
is doubtful. They hesitate, and they are
more than likely to initiate the policy
of the Wings in 1859 and lay away

tempt was surprisingly inconsistent.

and this is the official orguE of pOpulists

tiOn Mr.. John G. Givin was nominated

call, and under the same circu instances.
DIR Cock, Kerch and McCRusland set up
the claim that Mr.. Givin's nomination
was regular, but that Mr. X ,idcr's was
ire yular.
DIR. Cock also sworc that at the rump
convention in Canton on October ), in
which Smythe was nominated, there
We're about 100 people present, yet by
actual count there were thirteen when
they went into executive session.
Mr. Cook in his testimony said that he
always regarded the Alliance convention
as regular that he attended it rs a dele
gate and that Krider was nominated al,
most without opposition, there being but
two votes against him.
After the testimony was all in thu
board went into executive session. They
split even, Messrs. McGregor and Mort

sustain Krider, and Messrs. Turner an(
