The President of the United States

The incident proved one of great

after the episode he was having a

the refusal was that the sentry had

Porcine Curiosity.

The ugly animal, the wart hog, is a
rare curiosity in this part of the world,
but in East Africa and SomaIiland,
where his foot is on it's native heath,
he is thought as worthy an object of
the chase as is the good gray boar of
India.
Those who have hunted him with
the spear say he gives as good a run,
answers to the spear with a charge
as reckless and fights as gamely when
brought to bay as his relative, the
boar. Unlike other members of the
pig family, the female is endowed with
tusks as formidable as those of her
mate.

AMERICAN BANK CLEARINGS.

Comparing the figures for 1894 with
those of 1892 we find that the amount
of business transacted in the United
States, as represented by our bank
clearings, declined at the rate of fifteen
and a half billions of dollars a year
within two years under the Democratic
administration. In the year 1896 u
loss of business had been almost eleven
billions as compared with 1892. In 1895
the loss was almost nine billions. In
1893 it was more than seven billions.
So that since the Republican admins
tration of the United States, under
President Harrison, and during the
Democratic administration of the coun-
try under President Cleveland, there
has been a total loss of business, as
compared with 1892, aggregating the
enormous sum of forty-two billions Of
dollars in the four Democratic years!

small crowd was in the Lyon county
court room this morning when Judge
w. A. Randolph announced that he
had decided to grant the injunction
restraining the railroad companies
from putting into force the weight
rates on live stock shipments, as asked
for by Attorney General Boyle and the
Cattle shippers association.
The judge had no written opinion
when he went upon the bench and
spoke less than Il hundred words in
granting the injunction.
After he left the bench, the Judge
asked Joseph Waters of Topeka, the
attorney for the c~attlemen, to write
out the opinion for Journal entry.
Judge Randolph said to Il reporter:
81 didn't attempt to get into what the
lawyers call the points in the case
and hat is why l didn't write out an
opinion There were too many heavy
propositions and | couldn't attempt to
pass upon them and give a written
opinion in twenty-four hours. thrust
that the case will be appealed to the
supreme court 5 that Doster can run
his knife through this opinion and
give US some new authority on the
subject-some new law and authority.
l thought the cattlemen had n fair
case and, as l SAID, the fact that the
roads would violate the orders of the
board with impunity was to me the
best reason for assuming hat the
remedy of the shippers at law was not
adequate"
1t is an open secret among Lyon
county Populists that the plan is now
to try to control the railroads by the
courts and they are going to es-
tabiish a new set of supreme court de-
c%isions. so that the old Horton decis-
ions, that the railway commission is but
an advisory board, will be wiped out
an the powers of the board greatly
strengthened. This is done to satisfy
tho Democrats who arc not maximum

five years. blasting the hopes of our
people, running thousands, bringing
idleness, hunger and starvation in it's

Meanwhile, the American people have
suffered and waited.
Of their sufferings history can never
tell. But their patience has been bright
ened by the more recent knowledge
that a Republican congress would bring
relief as speedily as the Democratic and

protection, the volume of business tran
sacted in the city of New York, as rep
resented by the bank clearings of our
