jenkins Gets J Justice.

A telegram received by the Daily
Democrat late last evening from the
Warrensburg Star gave the pleasing
information that Chas. Jenkins, the
bigamist, was convicted and given
three years.
'Twere pity the jury did not
give him three times three.
Jenkins, who has wife and child
rem in Nevada, persuaded Martha
Marsh, an estimable young lady of
Montrose, to elope with him, and
they were married in Warrensburg.
He was arrested and sent to the
penitentiary from Clinton two years
for inticing the girl away. Miss
Marsh, when she realized how cruel.
ly she had been deceived, committed
suicide. When jenkins term was

Republican Inconsistencies.

Inconsistencies was never the bug
bear of the Republican party. At
this time contradictions between
their promises and performances are
worrying them less than ever. Hav
ing secured power by fight on the
currency issue, they propose to call
an extra session of Congress, not to
reform the currency, but to enact a
higher tariff
Another inconsistency IN their at
titude is the ground on which they
argue for higher tarlff-to raise
prices. Yet the effect OF the FORM
er Mckinley tariff was asserted by
them to have been lower prices. The
Republican national convention
which met at Minneapolis in 1892,
with William Mckinley as perman-
ent chairman, put into the platform
the following declaration:
eve assert that the prices CT
manufactured articles of general con.
sumption have been reduced under
the operation of the tariff act of
1S9O.n
1t would be entertaining to com
pare with this declaration that the
Mckinley tariff reduced prices, the
bitter arraignment of the Wilson
tariff fol reducing prices. And the
Republicans might explain why, if
the new Mckinley act will raise
prices, the old Mckinley act reduc.
ed them. They might further ex-
plain why, since the reduction of
prices was thing for them to boast
of in 1892, an increase of prices
should be their object in 1897.
The Mckinley act, moreover, was
entitled to "an act to reduce The
revenue We know it did, in fact,
reduce the revenue. In it's last year
it created deficit of $75,000. 900.
Why then should another Mckinley
act to be labelled IAN act to increase
the revenue!"
The secret of these Inconsistencies
is that the Republicans cannot pro.
duce logical argument in favor of
a high protection. In their cynical
contempt for the people they do not
even care to try. They have the
power to sacrifice the peoples rights
and welfare for the enrichment ot
the trusts. And the Republican
party would rather be corrupt than
consistent.-Kansas City Times.

OLAAPLANItRSA ARE HAPPY
COFFEE BLOSSOM SHOWING Up
FINE.
Big Crop Is Expected in February,
the Harvest Month Getting Rid of
White Pest.

city merchant just from trip
through Olaa district, says everything
looks promising now for Il good coffee
crop.
from the Goth of June to the goth
of July the coffee blossom was very
fine and set we'll. There will be two
more before September, and next
February there will he lots of coffee i'm
Olaa, which will be harvest month.
\ pest has appeared ON the Olaa
coffee trees, which is believed to he
the small white fly, says the nilo Tri-
bune.
1t is well known as visitor in Cen
trail and South America, where it is
called the Mosco Blancu. 1t covers
the trees with black powder that re-
sembles black SCOT called by the
Spaniards Nigerita. 1t has taken
quite hold in Olaa and must be
eradcated, as it impoverishes the tree
at the expense Of the crop.
This pest is easily combated if
taken in time, but troublesome if al
lowed to continue.
There are several remedies used
with success, among which the most
popular are to spray the tree with a
concentrated I've. This has been used
with success, but owing to the cost
of the materials another method has
been adopted with equally good re-
suits and at very much lower cost.
1t is done by fumigation, Common
strong plug tobacco or tobacco stems
are procured and boiled until all the
substance of the tobacco is held in
solution in the liquid. Old rags,
sacks, paper, chopped up ferns or
cane trash is saturated with this
tobacco liquid and burned around the
trees in smoky, smouldering fires.
These fires should not he allowed ia
blaze, but to produce as much smoke
as possible. The best time to start
these fumigating fires is during the
absence of the sun, when the air is
cool then the smoke will cover the
ground without rising with the
warm vapors of sunlight. The white
fly does not travel during the night,
but is roosting in the foliage, and is
just where he can be eNtcrminated by
the nicotine fumes.
