which has done service for many years in

200 smaller cabins and houses. 1t was
decided to abandon the levee, the water
beginning to overflow the top at several
places, and it was thought best to cut it

more. 1t was consequently cut ut the

was now convinced that genuine Bour-
bon never forgot anything he had ever

He compared the prosperity the country
enjoyed under the Mckinley law and the
distress produced by the Wilson law.
Under the Mckinley law, he said, eleven
