UNSPEAKARIM ROSH.

Senator Bacon, of Georgia, and those
who voted with him for his imbecile
proposition reached the climax of re-
racy and common sense, in placing a
duty of 20 per cent on raw cotton. 1t
is just as well that the whole Internal
business Of levying tariffs for pro-
perlatively ridiculous. 1t is being
rounded out and made complete in
this bill by neglecting no opportunity
to stick on a duty and to hit the head
of anything imported free Whether it
will raise or reduce revenue, whether
1t is produced in this country or not,
there is not a single argument appeal
ing to anybody, outside of an insane
asylum. for the duty on raw cotton.
1t is is on a par with the idiotic duties
on wheat and other farm products; ex-
cept that these are of old standing, and
that they also rely upon the fictitious
plea of Canadian competition"

the Minnesota Savings bank from Sept.
1899, to March 1, 1895. During that
time he had been teller, assistant
cashier and cashier, and for a short
time had been one of the trustees of
the bank. He had attended meetings
of the board of trustees and identified
the record book which was shown him
by the county attorney He was secre-
tary of the board of trustees and kept
the minutes. Questioned as to the other
members of the board of trustees dur
ing the time he was a member, there
was an objection from Mr. Butler. who
raised the point that there had been
no proof that the defendant had been
in any way connected with the bank
He objected to the question to the wit
ness as to who the trustees were, for
the reason that it was not the proper
witness to prove who they were. 1t
was unfair to take conclusions of the
witness when the best evidence could
be secured. He asked the court to
direct the county attorney to prove
who the trustees were, not by the con-
illusions of witnesses.
Judge Lewis asked the county attor-
ney if he intended to follow this UP
with competent testimony. For some
reason the prosecuting attorney did not
reply to the question Of the court. but
said, in his opinion, witness was the
best evidence, as he had been secretary
of the board and also a member.
Mr.. Butler at this point renewed his
application that the state be required
to state which position he intended to
rely on under the indictment. If the
county attorney took the position, as
charged in the Indictment, that Mr.
Stevens was q servant or agent, proof
must be shown along that line If he
took the position that he was trustee,
it must be specifically proven by his
bond and qualification. The defense.
he said, was now entitled to know and
have the state elect at this time which
they would rely on

self in the indictments now pending
against him.
The county attorney cited authorities
to the effect that the court must be
satisfied that there was reasonable
ground to suppose that the witness
would incriminate himself before the
advantage of privilege could be
claimed.
Judge Lewis said that witness. being
an officer of the bank. and, as his an
swer might incriminate- him. he
thought he should be protected. The
county attorney raised the point thai
there was no evidence to show that the
witness was an officer of the bank. and
that the authorities were to the effect
that only when witness was exposed
to danger that he could take ADVANTAGE
of the question of privilege He cues
toned how the state could prove any
thing, If the witnesses refused to an

gestion Of the county attorney, asked
witness why he refused to answer the
question, and, receiving the same an

of the county attorney for Mr.. Bickel
MR.. BUTLER DIRECTING.
10 the question as TO whether he
knew who was president of the bank
from 1898 to 1897, Mr.. Butler objected,
contending that it called for a con,
clusion Of the witness. The Court
thought It would be proper for the
witness to answer, and the county at
torney asked the witness who was the
president. Before Mr.. Bickel could
answer, even had he intended to, Mr..
Butler asked permission of the court

Mr. Butler did not have any better
success with the witness than did the

him, for the reason that they might
tend to incriminate him.
