There is something wrong with New
Jersey law. Miss Edith Behr has been
sentenced to four months Imprisonment
for thrashing two men who were in a
difficulty with her aged father. The
young woman was admitted to be OF
irreproachable character, but she dis
regarded the laws of property by
thrashing the men on their own land.
Down in Georgia we would give her a
medal instead of sending her to Jail.

this county is between the democratic
Bryan free silver club and the repub.

tic, for the purpose of defeating the peo-
PIES party in the coming spring cleo
ton in that municipality. Aud this
fusion between the democrats and re-
publicans was brought about before the
the Peoples party convention
was held, so the democrats can
not urge the excuse that they fused
with the republicans because the popu-
lists had mistfeated them in any way,
but, holding the balance of power be
tween the republicans and the Peoples
party in that city, they prefer to assist
the republicans rather than the popu-

added an original verse, which brought
forth a laugh from the audience:

They are patriots tried and true.
But what do the Senators do, papa;
The United States Senators do?
Oh, they talk and debate for the good of State

Oh, what do they do, pray?
Oh, they draw their pay in the regular way;

But what, I ask, do they do, papa?

Oh, they block with Hill the cold water bill,

-''Fhe continued export of grain from
famine stricken India. the enormous
taxes paid by the poorest people, and
the high duty collected on the bare
necessities of life-salt is taxed 700 per
cent-are described as contributory to
the continual distress of the masses in
India. Justice, the Socialist paper of
London, says:
India is inha bited by $50, 600, 600.
Their average income is Is shillings
S.. Isl per year per head. Over $3.50,
900, 600 have been spent during the last
eighteen years on frontier expeditions
for which the people of India have
been made to pay. The Famine Relief
Fund of SIS, 100000, raised by crushing
additional taxation, has been spent in
the same way. Europeans have been
employed more and more to the exclu-
sion of natives as officials, their sala-
ries, saved largely to be spent in Eng
land, amount to $1OO, 600, 900 annually :;
$l25, 900, 900 are drawn from India an
nuallyto pay interest and the pensions
of English officials. All this has to be
paid in gold, altho the Government has
stopped the coinage of silver, thus re-
ducing one half the exchange value of
the small savings set aside by the peo-
pie in the shape of silver earnings, ban
giles, etc., to meet the pinch of scarcity,
If we ceased to extort so outrageous a
tribute there would be no serious fam
inc. England herself has directly
caused and is now daily aggravating
the famine in India"
The same paper declares that, in the
face of these facts, ..'the attempt of
wealthy Englishmen to cover up their
iniquity by spurious charity is an out
rage" The charge that the Famine
Relief Fund has been appropriated for
other expenses, and the discourage
ment of Russian collections for the
relief of the sufferers, seems to cause
much dissatisfaction in India. Altho
the British Government in India as in
Egypt forces native rulers to suppress
anti-British papers, there are signs of
dissatisfaction even in thenative PRESS.
Commenting on the death of a coolie
killed by the English soldiers, the Ben
gal Hita7ard says
go then, Canes, to that blessed
abode where the wicked do not Cypress
and where injustice is not tolerated.
And every sigh, every tear of your rel
atives and your countrymen will fall
on the soil of this country like a spark
OF fire, until the English Government
will, perhaps, see one day a grand con-
migration brought about by millions of
these sparks"

1t is announced that as soon as Nc
Kinley is inaugurated president Cleve-
laud will go off on another duck hunt.
Now that he has again become pri-
vate citizen, we wonder if he will con-
tinue to use government vessel, when
ever he wants to get beyond the reach
of observation, while he enjoys his
periodic drunks. Only twenty or thir-
ty years ago d cabinet officer was
driven into political exile because he
permitted his wife to make her visits
and do her shopping in a carriage paid
for by the government, yet in this
short time the public conscience has
become so debauched that not mem
Der of Congress has had the manhood
to denounce Grover Cleveland for using
the government vessels as his private
property whenever he desired to go on
a spree.

Why They Won't Unite.

How can a Bryan free silver demo
crat look a man in the face since the
vote in the Alabama, Georgia and
Indiana legislatures In the two
former, all solid free silver democrats
voted almost unanimously against bills
prohibiting the making of gold con
tracts; and in the latter solid for old
Dan Voorhees, for reelection. Is such
conduct the fruit of the Bryan educa
tional campaign? Is such conduct the
fullflment of the promises of the puri
fed democracy? No wonder populists
have shaken the unholy alliance

The sugar trust only has a capital of
seventy-four million dollars. 1t is one
of those infant industries which want
more protection. What this country
needs is tariff that will protect the
people from the avarice of these great
trusts which have grown up under the
care of the republican party. When
an industry gets to be greater than the
government, so strong that the people
are powerless to control it, it ceases to
be an infant industry The time has
arrived when it is necessary to protect
the people, Western Advocate.
The latest to side-track the Populists,
is the long staple cotton convention, to
petition Congress to place the staple on
the tariff list. We don't believe true
Populist will have anything to do with
it; the Pops in this part of the country
are in favor of free trade, We don't
believe it right to put hides, wool and
cotton on the free list, and put high
protective tariff upon the goods manu-
featured out of them. But if the man
ufacturing interests are obliged to be
protected, then why not protect the
raw material? If Mr.. McKinley's
CONGRESS- will equalize the burdens, the
people now have to bear, they will
make long step towards controlling
the affairs of the government for the
next half century. -Colquitt County

that the retrospect of the recent past
revealed more cause for grief and hui

To make sure that our distingu shed
friend THE Nonconformist" is not
misunderstood, we had better quote, in
full, the editorial paragraph we have
already commented on.
Here it is, in all its pristine innocence:
IAN exchange wonders why the
Nonconformist did not question Mr.
Bryan for sending the telegram to Mr..
Mckinley. The why is this The
Nonconformist supported Mr.. Bryan as
the nominee of the st. Louis conven-
ton. When six o'clock p. m. came
Nov 4, 1895, our obligation ceased
Since that time he is no more to us than
to any other democrat or republican.
We have not devoted space to praise or
abuse Mr.. Bryan. We have not even
offered his book for sale, or advertised
it further than review notice which
was sent out over the wire of the asso-
ciated press. Mr.. Bryan we believe to
be good man, but must come from
under the banner of Democracy for
further populist support. The Non
conformist does not indulge in man
worship, if it did so long as we have
Donnelly, Col. Norton, Mr.. Frank Bur-
kett and scores of others we would
worship in our own ranks"

government sued for the sum OF S467 414.S4
the value of certain green timber which the
logging company was alleged to -haYe cut OH
the Winnibigoshish indian reservation.
In 1891 the Pine River Logging and Improve
ment company made a contract with the in
the right to cut all dead and blown down tim
Der upon that reservation. The cutting was
done that winter the logs driven down and
sold or cut into lumber. In the spring OF 1885
suit was begun at the instigation of J. 0.
Warriner, special agent and Inspector of the
recover for certain green timber which was
alleged to have been cut with the dead and
blown down stuff. The suit underwent sew
eral legal entanglements, being dismissed
once, but on appeal to the United States cir
cult court of appeals was sent back to the
United States district court for another trial.
That was the present trial.
John E. Stryker, of st. Paul, was appointed
special United States counsel to conduct the
case. The defendants retained w. II. Ben
Sept. 13 the case was begun and, according
to prediction, it was going to take all fall
to try it. The government introduced as wit
nesses Indians and half-breeds who had
worked in the lumber camps, sub-contracors,
and every one that knew anything about the
matter 1t was endeavored to show that the
green timber had been cut with the express
authority of the defendants and that there
was a willful intention to defraud the gov
ernment.
The defense claimed that q man by the
name of Tibbs an agent Of the government,
was on the ground at the time and that he
knew OF the imber being cut, but made no
objections or tried to stop any OF the cutting.
Therefore, claimed the defense, the govern
ment, by countenancing the cutting of the
timber through its agent, declared that the
company could cut such timber according to
its contract.

The best remedy in the world is not
too much for any one to insist on get

must know the immense good Paine's

The vague half-hearted attempt so
many people make to get rid of poor
health is pitiables rheumatism, head

Nothing could be more suicidal than

TROLLEY TO ANOKA.
Several Important Precedents IN
yoIyed In the Project.

The citizens of Anoka and farmers In that
vicinity are working to secure an electrlc
line connecting that city with Minneapolis.
The matter has not got far enough en- t6 on4re TO nave
roads seriously considered, but 1T is hkely
that the promoters are expecting to nave 1ntril a
free right Of way over the Hennepin country
roads This will bring up a nice question
which the people of the whole country VIII VIII
have something to say about not especially
on account of this particular line, but be-
cause of the precedent which the use OF the
road would establish.
The route suggested is through a rich I1ni and md
thickly-settled part of the country. Unless
the line costs too much to build and equip,
it ought to pay very well from the start for
passenger business only. During the sum
mer it would be favorite excursion route.
One of the schemes suggested is to have
the line do a light freight business, handling
garden truck for the farmers Of Crystal Lake
Brooklyn Maple Grove and Champlin town
ships. This, of course, brings up the inter
esting question Of the right of the Mime nne
apols Street Railway company, as con-
Meeting line to do a freight business over
its lines, Altogether the subject is very
interesting one and will bring to head
several important questions.
