AN AVERAGE VERDICT.
IL was struck Through q Difference
of Opinion Among the Jury
on Damages.

While the lawyers were waiting for court
to open, and before they flew at each others
threats, they exchanged few stories Of the
profession.
''The. strangest trial in which was ever
engaged was one OF my first" said grizzled-
headed attorney. Il was counsel for the
plaintiff in a suit brought to recover damages

IN they rendered verdict for the plaintiff

the Judge promptly set the verdict aside as
excessive. and l had to begin all over again.

THE NEW BOND BILL
o"e "i inc Worst Measures of CIass
Legislation That Was Ever
Drawn.

Inc passage of the bond issue bill
through the senate draws the lines OF
our politics for the next quarter of a
century. That the bill was dictated
from London, there is no doubt. Its
importance in international history is
so great that the Spanish war is trivial
In comparison.
As measure for the collection of war
revenues. the bill is one of the worst
measures Of class legislation ever
drawn. The democrats and populists
IN the senate attempted to force amend
ments, lessening its determinations
against the masses of the people, but
owing to the fact that Messrs. German.
Gallery, Lindsay, McEpery, Mitchell.
Murphy and Turpie, elected as demo-
Gratis, are controlled by the sugar trust.
the whisky trust, the trunk line pool,
the Rothsehild bond syndicate and STA
iiar com binations, the trust and corpor-
alton forces under Hanna were enabled
to do as they pleased. What it pleased
them TO do was this:
/. They voted down all amendments
taxing incomes under which pluto
cratic campaign fund contributors
would have been compelled to contribute
10 the expense of the war.
2. They voted against all propositions
to avoid bond issues by using silver bull
lion on hand.
3. They voted down all amendments
imposing war taxes on trusts and other
combinations formed in violation of the
Sherman antitrust law.
4. They voted down all propositions to
issue Notwithstanding treasury
notes instead of interest-bearing bonds
this regardless of whether such notes
were made legal tender or not.
8. They voted clearly and unmistak-
ably TO make everything else in the bill
itself, in the conduct of the war and in
the domestic policies of the country sub
servient 10 the interests of the nterna-
tional bankers, who demand the issue
of more bonds and the indefinite contin-
uance Of the debt already existing.
As our politics have been heretofore,
any party taking in a national cam
pagn the attitude now openly assumed
by the republican party under Hanna's
leadership, could not have carried a
state south of Pennsylvania and west of
New York. Perhaps the Spanish war,
Hanna's leadership and our new world
politics" Of cooperation with London
bond syndicates viii change all this. 1t
remains to be seen. What can be seen
| already is that in one way ard another
in every way in fact-the bill draws
the lines for great political revolution.
Either the plutocracy under Hanna will
be wiped out as the federalists were un-
der Adams. or the United States will
cease to be an independent republic Of
equal and self-governing states, and will
become an empire with Baron Roths
child as its Caesar and London as the
I real seat of its government.-Missis-
sippi Valley Democrat.

RESCUED BABY.
Brave Deed of a Heroine for which
She Got No Reward.

Doubtless no woman in town swims bet
ter than Miss x, but since last summer
she has ceased to take pride in her accom-
plishment. She spent the season at one of the
northern lakes. One afternoon, Just at the
fashionable promenade hour, she was walk
ing along the lake shore drive, when she
heard scream from the pier near. She runs
like Atalanta, and she dashed out to the
pier. An deliberately dressed woman was
wringing her hands and screaming:
"Oh, my. baby! My baby! My baby's
drowning!"
Miss x was dressed in her newest
gown, but it wasn't time to think of
gowns. She dived from the pier. She saw
no baby under water. She rose and few
feet from her saw small body floating, a
brown, four-legged fat body, that yelped
as it padded shoreward. ''Baby" was a
pug, and the one lone man who heard Miss
ks remarks to baby's owner few min
utes later tells me that he thinks of them
still at night and Washington

The farmer who found a friend.

Serious results often follow a strain,
especially when II affects the back, and
few people are so liable TO strain as those
who are lifting heavy loads of various
kinds, from day to day. The teamster
rarely ever overtaxes his strength. Fa-
rniiiarity with the class of wares he
handles, enables him to entirely gage the
load he lifts so as not to put an excessive
burden on himself. But with the farmer
II is different. He Is lifting loads Of such
varying weights and under such varying
eondtious that he is very liable to lift a
little too much some day, with injurious
results. Many serious affections of the
great organs of the body originate In a
strain. 1t was so In the case Of II. r. W.

Republicans Display Their stupidity
and Selfshness mt Crit
teal Time.

Republican newspapers that are
roaring about the partisan attitude OF
democrats on the war revenue bill are
also demanding that monetary re-
form" be pushed in congress.
Stupidity and selfishness could not
60 further than this. The men who
urge the currency measure know thai
il cannot pass the senate. They know
that such bill would arouse bitter OPP
position in both houses. They know
that nothing could more surely provoke
political division, and yet they urge
that this bill be taken up and passed by
the house.
What is the object Of such PROPOSE
ton? Simply the desire of crazy fanat-
les TO push the currency question into
prominence. Good political sense on
the part of administration newspapers
would prompt them to keep the money
question in the background. If the re-
publicans gain any sort of standing be

Trusts In Power.

With absolute unanimlty the repub-
lean senators have voted to tax the peo-
pie and not to tax the trusts. Solid as
a Roman phalanx the republicans pre-
scented an unbroken front to the demo
cratic attempts at reaching the boarded
millions Of the plutoerats. Taxes on the
necessities of life were favored by the
republicans. The poor mans luxuries
were gladly placed on the tax list by
these patriotic and undetermined gen.
tIemen. Whena tax on corporations was
suggested a howl of indignant protest
was raised and the proposition was
promptly voted down. When the re-
publicans could not argue they descend
ed TO ridicule and pretended TO see
something extremely funny in the idea
of taxing trusts. That is just the way
the aristocrats treated the demands OF
the people before the French revolution
inaugurated reign of terror. There
will be no reign of terror in the United
States, but, thanks to the intelligence
of the common people. there will cease
TO exist the reign of trust.
