charge of selling whisky to an Indian

Feldtmann had sold him whisky, but
when he was arraigned before the COM
missioner he said that he did not know
the man accused and never saw him
before. Feldtmann was, of course, dis
charged.

they have tested their powers by CON
tact and conflict with others. and Mr..
Hanna is undoubtedly an able a
AS Il man Of affairs he is probably not
afraid to measure swords with almost
any one. and since his entrance into
politics he has shown great ability as
IN organizer and executive head. He
probably knows his limitations, and it
is 10 his credit that he does not pose
for anything that he is not. He is not
an orator and will not attempt that
role. The country will not regret this
nor will he lose by il. There are too
many professional takers in the Sen
ate now. There are men there who
can make speeches that lap over from
day to day, who pride themselves on
their ability to talk against time, ami
when they have finished One of their
long winded speeches they have not

This country pays foreign ship own
ers upwards Of 500, 10000 annually
for carrying u ocean freights. Every
dollar of this should go into American
instead Of foreign pockets.
If the government con create 81 cents
of value by stamping 37lA grains of
fine silver as Il dollar, it can create 100
cents of value by putting the same
stamp on n bit of paper.
In spite of the generally n%nfavorable
conditions of last year, the savings
banks Of New York State made "A good
showing. Their surplus, their resour-
ces, and the amount due depositors all
showed increases.
That Mr.. Hanna vii! be a strong man
in the Senate goes without saying. He
will be eminently a business Senator.
While he has no reputation as a foren-
sic orator. he is Il clear, convincing
talker, and manifestly a man of mar
velous executive ability.
The term 'Silver Republicans is ns
much n contradiction of terms as free
trade Republicans Both honest mon
ey and protection are cardinal Republi-
can principles, aud any organized body
of men who reject these principles, and
withdraw from the Republican party
because they reject them, has no right
TO go about masquerading under the
party name.
The election Of Major Mckinley was
q popular uprising Of the best elements
of American citizenship. Such n large
percentage OF the legal voters of all the
States was never pOlled before in the
history of our politics. The election
will also go Oh record as the cleanest.

any contest In Il political annals.
1t is the ambition of the President
elect, above all other things, TO advance
the business interests of this ountry
10 expand foreign markets and to con
tribute To the substantial restoration
of abundant, normal prosperity. No
a will be considered for an appoint
ment of the slightest consequence who
is not believed to be willing and able to
do something TO increase the demand
for American products abroad.

CONTEST OVER AccRErloNs
Three Thousand Acres In Possession
of SumRtters.

w
Vermillion, March 19.-An interesting
case will probably come up before the
spring court In this city. South OF town
about our miles, on what Is known as
the island, is a large amount of made
land which has been added In time past
to regularly surveyed land. There are
IN all about 5000 acres, most of which
Is very valuable for It's timber. On por-
tons of the land are trees which show
their age to be forty years judging from
the number of rings In the wood. About
five years ago a number OF suuatters
settled on the land, built their homes
and claimed possession. They were
forcibly driven off, however, by those
who claimed title to the land. Now an.
other party of men, "A dozen in all, have
gone into court. These accretion land
cases are becoming quite frequent along
the Missouri and have been decided by
the courts both ways. The supreme
court has handed down the decision that
ground added to surveyed lane by the
changing OF the natural course of a
stream becomes a part OF the surveyed
land and belongs to the owner of that
land. But In a noted case in Nebraska

To Onau New Markets..

However diverse may be the views
of those who give attention TO
L. questions with respect TO the Nc
Kinley tariff act of 1890. the fact
stands as an imperishable monument
to that splendid eXaltation Of Ameri-
can labor and American interests that
our foreign commerce, under It's beneii-
cent operation. reached the highest
point that has been attained IN our
country's history. Having reached
high-water mark in our foreign trade
under an act which bore the impress Of
Major McKinley's genius and the con-
structive evidences of his own handi-
work, It is easy TO understand that
''McKinleyism' in It's widest signih-
canoe stands for new and ever-eXpand-
ing markets for the fruits of American
industry.
That the new administration is pledg-
ed 10 break down the trade barriers
erected under an unwise and un-Amer-
lean tariff ~pOlicy--a policy which open
ed wide our own markets and eXacted
nothing in return. which destroyed
friendly and profitable commercial re-
latlonS by annuling most benicent re-
ciprocity treaties-is evidenced by the
numberleSS u~tteranceS Of the Presi-
dent-elect upon this question as well
as by the u~nequiyOcal declarations OF
the party platforms.-Chicago Times
