Report of Commissioners of Ac.
 counts Submitted to the Court.

To H N. Hutton. Judge of the St. Francis Circuit Court:
 The undersigned heretofore appointed by you as commissioners of accounts. beg leave to present the following as their re- port to the present term:
 We have examined the accounts of all the officers required to make settlements with the county and find that all such off, ficers have made prompt settlements and that no balances appear against any of them.
 We also find that all the magistrates of the county have promptly filed their ab- stracts of 6nes each quarter. Upon ex- animation of the County court we fiud that the judge has been rigid in his al- lowances. and we find that only two claims have been allowed during the last two quarters which are of doubtful validity. l One Of these is an allowance to sheriff of Lee county for the arrest of E. C. Hughes for contempt of the Circuit court. There does not appear to be any judgment l against the county for the costs in this case, hence the county is not liable. The other is an allowance for a chair and desk for the use of the County judge A few allowances of informal accounts have been made. In one instance mag istrate certiiies that he himself "cetched'' wolf iu trap and asked for an allow ance upon his own certificate. We again call attention to the fact that ] none of the county or township officers filed the report of fees and emoluments of office as they are required to do by law. We desire to return our thanks to the officers from whom .e sought information during our setting, for their cheerful and courteous responses, all of which is re- spectfuIy submitted

 We have in former communication from this place tired to remind our pres ent county judge Of how the public re- gard the way the ferry at Madison is run We had hoped to see an improvement in it but we are sadly disappointed. We had thought that we would not have to fully write this 'bnt forbearance has ceased to be virtue" and as the public demand il, we shall write this to show how the judge, in his zeal to save penny leaps over the dollars. The ferry at this point is the most important on the St. Francis river. there being more travel than all the rest put together. At the letting of the contract, no attention was paid to the copsideration uf service, but simply the low bid.

M,KINLEY PROSPERITY.

There are men who can only view the
tariff question in logical, not a prac-
teal light, from a universal, not local
standpoint. The professor and the pc
dantio scholar, nine times out of ten, are
free traders. They argue it as prlncl-
pie, not as policy, and in doing SO lg-
more environing conditions which are
plain and Of the very first Importance
TO the practical economist. The Cnlteu
States of America under the RepuDll-
can administration of Mckinley are go
Ing to return to the high protective pol
lev, and the theorists shake their heads.
They cannot get England and her poll
nv out of their mind or logic. They fan
Ia discover or understand the difference
Of conditions. England is the great
manufacturing center of the globe, but
she goes thousands of miles for her raw
material. thousands Of miles for food
for her operatives, and then carries her
finished products thousands of miles to
ind markets. Upon the other hand,
The United States is self-sustaining, has
everything within herself. She can by
simple protection produce all the
woods, cotton, iron, wood and food
which she desires, and thanks to no
body. Her advantages in the three
things, food, fuel and raw material,
mean independence, superabundance,
supremacy. These mean wealth and
prosperity. To utilize these protection
is necessary.
Free trade may prove profitable, or
rather a necessity for the United States
some time in the future, but that time
is a long way Off We, as a people,
will have to be first reduced to the Nal
thusian conditions which confront En-
gland today, where population has in
creased beyond the food supply and
where raw material even must be pur-
chased. But with unbounded produc-
lions and unlimited resources awaiting
development, and with the wealth that
always must grow out of development,
the policy of protection becomes ascend
ant and paramount.
For return of prosperous times all
that the United States requires is the
establishment of the system of pro-
lection. That system does not consist
of any particular tariff schedules, but
rather of great, vital, conserving priTl-
ciple, practically applied and prudently
adjusted to the industries of all sections
and the interests of all classes. To eff
feet this is the appointed mission of the
Mckinley administration.

by renegade Republicans, most OF
whom were WORKOUT, jaded office-seek-
ers who realized that they were too dis
credited TO secure preferment from the
Republican party.
"As in '92, the Democrats got nothing
but n hope that they would be recog-
nized at the state pie counter. Oh, de-
lusive hope! What Democrat craved
a so-called Silver Republican got or a
nepotistic Populist took for his wife or
nephew or niece, or cousin or sister-in-
law; anything or anybody save an ex-
rectant, hungry Democrat, whose vote
had given Populism its second state
victory.
''1hat the Democrats were made dis
gusted. and justly so, goes without say
ing. The word is being passed down
the line to the workers and rooters to
organize on straight Democratic party
lines and draw off from the party Of
ingratitude and nepotism, and prepare
to strike and strike hard for straight
party action in the future. 1t is said
that fools will learn by experience, but
what must be said of a man or party
that can't learn by experience? This
observation applies equally to Demo
cratic and Populistic managers

OUTRAGNG WOMEN.

When the present war in Cuba began
Spain declared that her administration
of affairs on the island was all right,
that no reforms were needed, and that
no concessions whatever would be
made to the revolutionists. While Spain
craftily tempts the Cuban patriots with
offers of sham reform, Weyler makes
their acceptance more and more impos-
sible by his monstrous brutality in deal
ing with Cuban women. To assume
that the revolutionists will listen to any
overtures for compromise so long as
the Spanish commander continues to
impose indignity and cruelty upon their
wives, mothers, sisters and daughters is
both preposterous and insulting. The
worst enemy to Spain's program OF pac-
ification is Weyler himself.
