He referred to his Incarceration as in

cation OF the right of trial by jury. Cor

seem to be above law. He adm. tied that
there were many honest Judges, but in this
day the courts were. as a rule, so corrupt
that they were purchasable
AS a matter OF course dot not declare
that all courts are corrupt. because that
is not true. There are very many honest,
upright judges who administer the Law I'M

courts in THIS country where justice II u

Inter Ocean, 10: During the year
ending Dec. 81, 1895, the United States
imported 2O,748 ,l0S pounds Of shoddy.
Shoddy Is made from rags that may
have been worn by lepers, aud that
certainly have been worn by the beggars
and tramps OF Europe.
In but one previous year have the i'm
ports OF shoddy reached 100000 pounds.
and IN 1922 year in which the McKin-
ley tariff was in full operation-the i'm.
ports were less than 100000 pounds.
Then the United States people we're buy
ing and wearing good, honest cloth,
woven from American wool and spun in
American mills. Now they are wear.
ing stuff in which shoddy is a chief
factor. And the worst OF it is that while
the quality is woetully debased the price
is not greatly lowered.
Another notable fact is that in 1892
the government derived nearly 100000
in on less than 100000 pounds
shoddy imports, while in 1895 it did not
collect a cent on the imports Of more
than 100000 pounds OF stuff used to
dsbaee the quality OF the clothing Of the
American people.

Old Dakotans will hear with regret
Of the fast ebblng tide OF life OF Bettina
Gerard, the actress, daughter OF e
G Governor Ordway OF Dakota Territory,
and now au officer in the army. Bettina
was brilliant and lovely, she knew it and
lived fast. As an actress she has led a
fast life, having figured in more divorce
suits than anyother woman known.
She revelled in Washington high life,
and Washington life ruined her, body
and soul. She now languishes in a sani-
tarium in New York at the point OF
death.
