According to statement recently COM
piled the increase in the acreage Of the to-
bacco crop is less than 10 per cent over
the crop of a year ago, which is some
what less than previous estimates that
have been advanced. The increase Of '97
over '96 was more than 25 per cent, and
many believe the present crop would
show fully as large an advance in tobacco
acreage. Every precinct III Rock County,
save the town of Bradford, reports more
or less growing tobacco. The town Of Full
ton has the greatest amount of land de-
voted to tobacco, 900 acres, with James,
vile second, then Center and Harmony.
We half suspect the statistics of the town
of Porter, which shows decrease, is in
error. This township ought to rank
among the largest.

From the Kansas City Times.
The election Is over and there is no
longer any political Ia why the
American peace commissioner should
not promptly bring negotiations to a
close. The people have been paying
s1.000,000 q day to MAINTAIN a war
footing ever since the commissioner
landed IN Paris, and they will have to
continue to sustain their immense daily
expense until a peace treaty is agreed
upon. No sane man believes that final
conclusions could not have been
reached 10 a fortnight. Every intelli-
gent American knows that the sittiugs
Of the commission have been permitted
10 be prolonged 20 as TO influence the
elections 10 favor Of the administration.
Not less than $50, O00, 900 have been
expended TO prevent tho arriving al an
agreement, and the people will have 10
pay the bill. The elections are over
and the wild and senseless policy Of the
administration has been condemned by
the people, which leaves no excuse fol-
further delay. As a matter Of fact
there was not q single dshatable ques-
ton that could have come before the
commission. 1t was simply an ulti-
aatpm on the part Of the United State.
and refusal or acceptance on the part
Of Spain.
But the administration saw 10 the
"deal" an opportunity to make political
capital, and 1t has been doing It at On
expense TO the people Of 81, 900, 900 a
day. But the iig is up. The people
demand that the matter DO speedily
settled, and Il the president Is wise he
will guilt dilly.dallying, However. in
spite Of the wishes Of the people be ia
likely TO depand the surrender Of the
Philippines and pay millions Of the
peoples money TO satisfy Spain, u need

"islands on the BRAIN" but the people
have not, and he should not lose sight
oil that very important fact. The
people are impatient to have q peace
treaty agreed upon. The delay disturbs
business. II is = disturbing element OF
no little moment 10 the commercial
world and there Is no reason Why il
should not BIO promptly removed. The

Havana, Nov. 10.-Another proof of
sincerity vas gwen yesterday by the
Spanish authorities to The Americans.
One Of the insurgent clubs established
in the town of Regla, across the bay
from Havana, met TO pass resolutions
against the American government and
to ask President Mckinley what his
intentions were regarding Cuba.
Captain General Blanco considered
the meeting TO be an attempt to make
trouble and 10 support the anti.Ameri-
a campaign that has been started by
the uncompromising factions OF The
Spaniards and Cubans. lie therefore
issued orders that the meeting be stop
pod. The orders were carried out by
tho civil governor Of Havana. Then a
polite note was sent by the Spanish
commissioners to the Americans, noti-
flying them Of the action taken by the
government and promising that all
similar meetings and attacks upon the
Americans would be suppressed here
after.
The Spanish commission has also
officially notified the American com
m%issioners Of the embarkation of
Spanish troops at Gibara.

A New Point of Law Made.

JEFFERSON CRY, No., November T.
"A decision was rendered today BY
the supreme court IN the a Of the
state vs.. sealous Grugin, appealed
from the Macon county circuit court,
which establishes a new point Of law IN
Missouri. The burden Of the opinion,
written by Judge Sherwood. Is that
swords TO amount to q provocation in
law, |. e., q reasonable provocation 10
be submitted to the determination Of
the jury, and Il found by them to exist,
then the crime Is lowered TO the grade
Of manslaughter.
In the case at bar Grugin was in
formed that his daughter Alma, aged
l6. had been ravished by bis son-in-law,
JEFF Hadley, while under the supposed
protection Of his roof. Grugin at once
repaired to Hadley's homo and asked
him why he had committed such a foul
crime, whereupon Hadley replied; an
do As l - please about it. The court,
referring to these words, says:
"This i~nsolent and defiant reply
amounted TO an affirmation of Hadley's
guilt. So long as human nature re-
mains as God made It such audacious
and atrocious avowals will be met as
met BY defendant. 1t should be held,
therefore, that the words in question
should have been left TO tho jury to say
whether, 10 the circumstances detailed
in the evidence, they constituted q
reasonable ~provscation, and II 90
found, that then defendant was guilty
Of no higher offense than manslaughter
in the fourth degree"
Accordingly, the judgment Of the
lower court, finding Grugin guilty Of
murder IN the second degree and
imposing a sentence Of fifteen years in
the penitentiary, 10 reversed and the
case remanded for trial. Judge Burgess
concurred In toto, while Judge CAN'T
took exception TO that part of the
opinion relating u words being regard
ed a reasonable %provocation BY either
court or jury.

1t is generally admitted that the re-
publicans will have a majority In bot b
houses of congress, and that after
March 4th, the gold bugs will have a
majority in the senate. Tom Reed has
not been in harmony with Mckinley
and Hanna, and II Is said be will not
be reelected speaker OF the house. II
is admitted to be a pretty big contract
TO down Tom Reed and friends say
that McKinley's friends will discover
that fact later on. The most surprising
feature of the recent campaign, parlic-
ularly in the congressional contest, is
that the republicans have sustained
their heaviest losses IN the strongholds
of the goldites and that the democrats
have lost most heavily in the localities
where they were supposed to be the
strongest. But for the republican
gains in Kansas, Nebraska, Wyoming,
the two Dakotas, California and Wash
ington the democrats would have a sub
stantial majority in the house. "Sen-
ator HANNA said a leading democrat,
''sent an untold amount of money into
the congressional districts of the west.
We knew what he was doing, but were
powerless to checkmate him, as we had
no money The republican losses in
the east can be explained by the fast
that MIR. Hanna did not spend any
money on them. In every district
where Mr.. Hanna did not put a big
pile OF cash the republicans suffered
losses. Mr.. Hanna has only got what
he paid for, no more. "The atmos-
phere is a little clearer for the battle OF
1900, by reason Of our loss Of the ouse.
We will not have TO divide any respon-
sioliilles VII our republican friends.
They will soon have enough trouble on
their backs TO keep them fully occu-
pied" After March 4, the senate tor
the first time since the republic was
established, will be for gold, not mere
ly a "sound money" body, but pledged
to the single gold standard. As the
house will be republican the admins.
