Acknowledgement Fitzgerald Of
California has moved the United
States Supreme Court to advance the
hearing Of the Durrant case on the
following grounds:
THAT this is case involving the
prompt and orderly administration of
the criminal laws of the State of Cal
ifornia. ....
2-That the appellant has been
convicted Of murder in the first de
gree in one of the Superior Courts If
the State Of California, the judgment
OF conviction has been passed upon
and affirmed by the highest judicial
tribunal Of that State and this pro-
ceeding delays and thwarts the pun
ishment Of appellant in accordance
with the judgment pronounced
against him by the Courts of said
State. .,..
3-That by virtue of the provisions
of Section 766 of the Revised Stat.
utes Of the United States the appeal
in this case prevents the prompt and
orderly administration of the GRIM
inal laws OF the State of California.
4-Tnat by reason Of this proceed
ing and others of a like character
now pending in this. court, the en- =.
forcement Of the criminal laws of the
State of California is hampered and
thwarted and the laws of the State
FOR the administration Of justice and
the punishment of crime are render
ed largely nugatory and are brought
into derision and contempt.

termination Of this case by this Court
is in the interests of justice. law and
order. and is a matter Of the utmost
Importance TO- the people of the State
OF California.

We say the old way, but really it is
a very common one at present time
and many dyspeptics and physicians
as well consider the first step to take
in attempting to cure indigestion is
to diet, either by selecting certain
foods and rejecting others or togreat-
ly diminish the quantity usually TAX
en-, in other words the starvation
plan is by many supposed to be the
first essential.
The almost certain failure of the
starvation cure for dyspepsia has
been proven time and again, but still
the moment Dyspepsia makes its APP
pearance a course of dieting is an
at once advised.
All this is radically wrong. 1t is
foolish and unscientific to recommend
dieting or starvation to d man suffer
ing from Dyspepsia, because lndi-
gestion itself starves every organ and
every fibre in the bouy.
What the Dyspeptic wants is
abundant nutrition, which means
plenty of good, wholesome, well. cook

weak stomach to digest it. This is
exactly the purpose for which Stu

Have Learned Something.

When the President of the St. Louis
Merchants Exchange declared that
1.-The farmer is nobody's fool" he gave
epigrammattc and picturesque express
sion to changed condition IN our ma
tional life that was wrought by the
heated discussion of economic ques-
tions in the last campaign
1t would be neither truthful nor DO
lite to assert the converse of the prop
osition that the American farmer was
ever ''any body's fool and yet some
thing akin to that may be said of him
in soberness. Prior to the memorable
educational campaigns of 1892 and
1896 the mass of our agriculturfsts
were too poorly informed on the great
questions of economics and taxation to
act intelligently for their own inter-
ests in exercising the suffrage. Hence
1t was that they have permitted to
grow up in the country a grossly un-
just system of taxation and to place in
control of the machinery of free gov
ernment the most conscienceIess band
of hooters tha: were ever intrusted with
power IN time of national peace and
repose- The farmer had his primer
lessons in these questions when a
Democratic President was elected
twelve years ago. When a Democratic
Congress passed the Wilson bill. which
a Republicanized Senate nullified in
many of its features, be was carried a
little further along the road of truth
toward al understanding of the shame
ful wrongs that had been done him by
the Republican party. A revolt was
raised against that organization in its
Western strongholds and the party
was driven to the East for recruits. 1t
is true that the revolt did not stop
short Of the vagaries of Populism in
many parts of the territory affected.
but that was natural extreme for such
movement. The forces which set it
in motion have now concentrated in

Untrue.

Spanish methods are typified in the
letter which Minister Dupuy de LONE
has addressed to Mrs. jefferson Davis
in reply to that lady1s appeal in be-
half of the unfortunate young girl who
now languishes in loathsome prison
at Havana.
The facts show" says Minister de
LONE, ..that Miss Cisneros lured to
her house the military commander OF
the Island of Pines and had men con-
cealed in it who tried to assassinate
him in connection with an uprising OF
the prisoners in the island. For that
offense, far from being condemned and
being ready to be transported TO a
penal settlement in Africa, she has not
vet been tried; the Public Prosecutor
has not yet presented the case for the
Governments; he has not yet, as is
requisite of our law. asked sentence
to be imposed upon her, and the case
is not yet ready to be disposed of. ="
A more deliberate misrepresentation
of facts, according TO the testimony
that has reached this country from
reliable sources. could not well be
made. It is known that Spanish bru-
tality is alone responsible for this ten
der girls unhappy plight; that in-
stead of. ..luringn the military COM
mauder to her house, that Individual
forced his uuwelcome and uuholy at
tention upon her, and because she
would not submit and was forcibly de-
Tended from him by gentleman, the
Spaniard, in order to at once avenge
and defend himself, trumped up the
charges against her and had her cast
into the refuge of abandoned women.
The Spanish Minister will find that
the methods of deception which char
acterize his home Government and its
colonial policy will not avail to soothe
American conscience. They unques-
tionably are effective on the native
Spanish character, or else the corrupt
Government at Madrid would long ago
have been destroyed by popular up
rising. But the men and women OF
the United States are made of sterner
stuff. They have been tolerating re-
crudescent barbarity at their very
doors; not because they did not know
of its existence, but because of their
willingness to test TO its extreme limits
the efficacy of established remedies.

The Advance Interview.

President Mckinley's little interview
| possibly contains more truth than be
meant it. For he admits that the
prosperity Of the West was due, not to
| any efforts of his party, but to the CO.
incidence of large harvests here and
short crops abroad. But" he con-
tinues, ''the fact that prosperity has
set in in the East can not be accounted
for in any other way than by the wise
policy of the Republican party in re-
storing a protective tariff"
That is to say, the South and West
work. The people there live by the
sweat of their brows. In some years
they merely make a good living; in
others the bounties of nature give them
prosperity.
But the East is different. Mr.. Nc
Ktnley insists that there is no natural
reason Tor the East's prosperity this
year. 1t was effected. he says. simply
by the passage of tariff which heavi-
ly taxed the people.
These taxes could not be paid in the
end by the East itself if it is to acquire
prosperity through them. For no sec
tion can get rich by taxing itself. any
more than man can lift himself by
his boot straps.
The taxes that made the East un-
naturally prosperous must then have
been paid principally by the West and
the South. So. if we may believe Mr..
Mckinley, the East prospers by using
the trusts tariff as an instrument TO
wrench from the West and South the
lions share of the fruits of their labor
and natures bounty.
Thus it is the old case of taxes and
toll. The people work and the pluto
Gratis exact tribute. The President
evidently failed to weigh his words as
carefully as usual. Else he would not
have boldly ana proudly maintained
that he had helped the East 10 get rich
by robbing the West.-K. C. Times.

ocratic aseendancy in the West is per,

The last campaign put the finishing
touches on the farmers education, and
the amazing spectacle was witnessed
of the herding of purchasable voters
in the large eenters of the country in
order TO save the Republican party
from the wrath of the men who were
once its mainstay and prop. Bat this
spectacle can never again be witnessed
in America, now that the agricultural
masses have learned which party best
represents their interests and more
honestly strives to subserve them.
Having seen the corruption and bri-
berry practiced under Hanna's manage
ment. the farmers of America are now
prepared to offset these tactics by vot-
ing with the party pledged to their
welfare. In other words, they have
been educated and are ''uobody's

The Tariff tor Deficit.

When Mr.. Aldrich introduced his
revised and improved Tariff bill in the
Senate he announced that tariff which
failed to produce sufficient revenue
would have disastrous results for the
party responsible for it. Now that
the Republican tariff has become law,
and has proved itself the ablest deficit
producer in our financial history, such
opinions no longer bubble freely from
Republican sources. The doctrine
most in favor at present has been for
mulated by prominent Republican in
these terms:
What if the new Tariff bill is not
yielding enough revenue? What if ii
never yields enough? The fact that it
is giving prosperity to the people of
our country is millions times more
important tka1 its effects upon the
Federal Treasury; its purpose. as
stated in the preamble, was primarily
to foster American industries. We can
readily see how well 1t is doing that
for trade on every hand is picking up.
In these circumstances nobody will
care much how the Federal Treasury
balance sheet looks, and if after year
or two it is found that the new tariff 9
not furnishing, enough revenue. there
will be plenty of time to devise other
means of making good the deficiency. =
That is cheerful and philosophical
way of looking at the situation. In
the light of such theory of the pur-
pose of customs legislation, the fact
that the expenses of the Government
for the first twenty-five days OF August
were almost exactly twice the revenue,
the deficit being $14,316,2l7 against 3
total revenue of $4,000, 7s3, becomes
matter unworthy the attention Of a
true patriot. Nevertheless, the cir
cumstance that If Congress had ac-
cepted Secretary Cages advice TO se-
cure for the Government the duties on
the 700. 900 tons of sugar imported by
the Sugar Trust, there would have
been a slight surplus instead of deficit
on this months transactions. must
sometimes suggest rather painful re-
