CHARGEDi WITH LARCENY.
Case OF Mrs. L. !. Levey Comes
I'D i'm Police Court.

The case Of Mrs. Levey, widow Of the
late L. J. Levey, and a woman highly re-
spected and honored by her friends. was
charged by Dan Mckenzie with larceny
in the second degree, came up for trial
in the police court on Saturday morning.
Defendant plead not guilty"
The first witness on the stand was Dan
Mckenzie, who, being sworn, stated: :
have been here about twenty years and
am a carpenter by trade; sold the lodging
house on AIakea street to defendant, re-
serving tool house for myself. Here most
of my tools were stored. Other nipple
ments were on the outside. Last SatuT-
day I threw these down close 10 the
shop The pitchfork I left on the inside
while the other tools were on defend
ants side. on Monday morning I missed
the tools Made inquiries and then came
TO the Marshal, telling him I wanted a
search warrant TO get my tools. He told
me that it might be necessary to get a
warrant OF arrest, but 1 said l did not
want such. At that time he left and
turned me over 70 David KAPPA. After
the warrant was made it was given me
to sign. did not read il and did not
know what the warrant contained until
it was read to me today. / went and
called me a thief a dozen times. The Of
fcers spoke about arrest, but 1 said no.
The tools in their present condition are
worth about 50. Did not want to prose
cute defendant; only wanted my tools.
Did not accuse her of larceny; did not
even speak to her. Wanted search war
rant on information. Did not say that
the tools had been stolen. There has
been no trouble between us. Did not go
to her because I wanted to go about it
in legal way. The tools were there on
Tuesday or Wednesday; missed them on
Monday.
All Kim, the Chinaman employed by
Mrs. Levey, Richard Kalbe, carpenter,
and David KAPPA were next put on the
stand, and then Charles Creighton, attor
ney for the defendant, made motion TO
discharge, which was granted.

SCHOOL GARDENS IN RUSSIA.

a very interesting feature of primary
education in Russia is the establishment
and rapid development of small farms,
orchards and kitchen gardens in connec-
ton with primary schools, especially in
the villages. The land for such model
gardens or farms on a small scale was
mostly obtained from free grants by the
village communes, and occasionally from
the neighboring landlords, while the ex-
penses are covered by very small money
grants from the district councils Gem
stovs). To take one province in South
Russia, namely, Ekaterinoslav, we see
from the biennial report just issued that
not only has almost every school an Or
chard and kitchen garden for the use of
the schoolmaster, but that nearly one-half
of the schools in the province (227 out of
500 are already in possession of small
model kitchen gardens, orchards, tree
plantations or farms, at which gardening,
sylviculture and sericulture are regularly
taught. The teaching is mostly given by
the schoolmasters, who themselves re-
ceive instruction in these branches at
courses voluntarily attended in the sum-
mer, or occasionally by some practical
specialist of the neighborhood. This prov
ince being mostly treeless, special atten-
ton is given 10 tree plantations, and
next to silk worm culture. The aggre-
gate area of the DOT school farms or gar
dens attains 2S3 acres. and they contain
ed in 1895 III, 900 fruit trees and 238, 800
planted forest trees, nearly 1900 of the
former and $4,000 of the latter having been
distributed free among the pupils during
the same year. The money grants for
these 227 gardens were very small; that is,
a little over 300 pounds sterling. Besides.
over thousand beehives are kept, part
~ by the schoolmasters and partly by
the children, and some schools have vine
yards in connection with them. This
has widely spread over diff
ferent provinces Of Central Russia, where
the culture of cereals dominates at the
school farms, while in Caucasia especial
attention is given TO the silkwor;n Gull
ture and the culture Of the 0ine-Natu1e.

Had Enough of High rurifr.

1t has been suggested that the Demo-
cratic party devote its attention to max
ing tariff campaign this year, but in
view of the fact that the position Of
the party on the tariff question is quite
clear to the masses of the people, there
is reason to believe the Democratic lead
ers will make sound money the main
issue. If, however, Mckinley is nomi-
mated by the Republicans and he forces
the tariff to the front as the issue, the
Democrats will promptly meet it. The
people are well aware Of the fact that
the cost of their clothing is fully 20 per
cent less than it was before the tariff
was reduced and wool plafed on the
free list, and it is quite safd to say that
they do not want any more high tariff.

port of tho Reed-DinEiey Bill.
With all the partisan olamor over the
Wilson tariff, the official returns show
that. while greatly reducing the burdens
Of the people and removing grievous OBJ
structions to trade, it Is better than was
the Mckinley act as measure Of fiscal
revenue. says tho Philadelphia Record.
In 1895 the revenues from imports
amounted to $164, ,452, ,026. In the three
Mckinley years Of 1892, 1893 and 1894
the average revenue from imports was
&l66, 420, 808. Will it be believed that
all the partisan outcry against the VIII
son tariff and all the laudation of the
Mckinley tariff In comparing them as
measures Of revenue have been over q
matter of less than 81, 900, 900?
But while the revenues from customs
under the present tariff will steadily
rise with expanding trade, under the
Mckinley tariff the revenues were
dwindling from year TO year by reason
Of its obstructions to trade-as thus:
Revenues from customs In 1902, &19f.-
78T, ,936; in 1893, &i78, 28l, ,4S8; IN
1894, 1871, ,261, ,064. These returns show
that had not the Republicans been
driven from power In 1899 they would
have been obliged to reduce the barbar-
ous protective duties in order to provide.
necessary revenues. In face Of this ox-
perienoe. they now propose to partially
restore these protective duties, with tho
pretense Of increasing public income.
when the treasury surplus from the sales
Of bonds is more than sufficient to meet
every expenditure Of the government.
But, In spite Of the evidence that no
more revenue Is needed, and that the
rapid decline in the pension list will
soon cause large treasury surplus, the
Republicans in congress- persist in the
attempt to fool the American people as
to the reab purpose Of the Reed Dingley
tariff bill. The purport OF this bill Is ~
cloar as II the agreement between the
Republican politicians In congress and
the trusts had been scaled. signed and
delivered. BY this mute agreement the
parties Of the first part offer to increase
the bounties to monopoly by an increase
Of 10 per cent In tariff duties. ON condi-
tion that the parties Of the second part
shall contribute from the profits thus
extorted from the people sufficient sums
Of money for the approaching Republic

THE REPUBLICAN POSITION.
Voters Are Asked to Put Their Ballot
Into Blind Pool-waterinE Tariff Bill.

Voters Are Asked to Put Their Ballots
Into a Blind Pool-waterinE Tariff Bill.
The address of Mr.. Mckinley, at the
Auditorium, in Chicago, on Lincoln g
birthday may be considered fair state
ment Of the Republican position. 1t is,
at any rate, Mr.. McKinley's position,
and he is the leading candidate Of his
party, and the man whom an unques-
toned majority of 1t today desires to see
nominated for the presidency. He is au-
thorized to speak for the party, and he
certainly speaks for himself.
Scanning Mr.. Mckinley g speech care
fully, we fail to find in it anything in
addition to the subject matter Of his
many previous speeches and addresses.
They are all summed up in the postulate
that what we need is protection, and
protection. He is man of one idea.
The conception of national existence has
little meaning to him outside of the
proposition that certain men, aud those
the poorest and most hard working citi-
zens of the country, should be taxed in
order that other men, mostly possessed
of capital and leisure, may be enabled to
receive an unearned profit on account of
engaging in industries which they do
not need to enter unless they wish to.
Even ON the tariff, however, Mr.. Nc
Kinley shirks and palters. Here is his
tariff platform when he is pressed to
the main point: ut may be asked what
the next Republican tariff law will pro-
vide. cannot tell you." Now, as al
ways, the Republican party asks that the
voters Of this country put their ballots
into blind pool. They are to vote for
tariff candidates, and then those tariff
candidates will fix up tariff law to suit
themselves. What will be the principle
OF its formation the candidate refuses to
say in advance. This is not because he
cannot prophesy, but because he dare
not. He knows what has been the prin-
ciple Of Republican tariff legislation in
tho past and what it always will re-
main. 1t is this.
The representatives Of all the great
protected industries that contribute to
tho Republican campaign fund will be
called into council. Each will then be
asked to say what rate of duty will af-
ford to him all the profit in his business
that he desires When those reports have
been obtained. they will be incorporated
into tariff law. That was the way
that the bill of 1890, which bore Mr..
McKinley's name, was framed. 1t will
be the method of preparing another tar
iff act If Mr.. Mckinley should be presi-
dent and his party in control of con-
gress. No wonder that, when asked to
state beforehand not only any particu-
lar detail, but any specific principle of
construction, he has to give the answer
Of every other Republican, IT cannot
tell you. ">-St. Paul Globe.

that the criminals seek. There ism t any
