AMONG the salutary laws passed by
noted the bill introduced by Senator
Farris regulating the collection and
disbursement of costs in criminal cases.
Heretofore these costs have been paid
by the State and counties to the circuit
clerks and by them paid out to the
various officers, jurors and witnesses
performing services in the case. The
duty of disbursing thousands of dollars,
annually, by the circuit clerks under
the old law, was an onerous one, i'm
posing grave responsibilities, entirely
without compensation. Under the
provisions of the Farris bill, costs will
be paid to the county treasurer and by
him disbursed to the various claimants.
All fees remaining in the hands Of the
treasurer for one year will revert to
the State or county treasury instead of
going to the general school fund as
has heretofore been the law. The
new law will make the occupation of
purchasing fees extremely precarious,
since it provides that before paying
out any fee the county treasurer shall
deduct any fine or personal taxes that
may be unpaid against the original
claimant. This law was passed with
emergency clause and approved by
Gov. Stephens on May IL. 1899.

AN Associated Press dispatch says thai
Grover Cleveland caught and landed 12i
bass near Toledo, Ohio, last Saturday
That's nothing. One day early in Novem-
Der, 1892, he caught, from sun to sun, about
5000, 900 Democratic "suckers"-and, later
on, fine fry he made of 'em, too!-Ly0Hf0n
Register.
Aud this is the only Democratic
president elected for forty-three years.
He was nominated because no other
Democrat, it was believed. could be
elected. The reason he could be
elected was because he was against
free silver, and said so in an open let
ter. Having elected him with this
fair, square understanding, the party
wanted him to betray tine confidence
his letter inspired. He refused to do
so, and the free-silver wing kicked
him out of the Democratic party. The
truth is, the party was fishing for
suckers, with a gold-standard hook,
aud imagined it would have no trouble
landing all who bit. The game was
blocked by Cleveland's unexpected re-
fusal to go back on his letter.-POpldr
Bluff Republican.
Why is it the Republican "rooral
rooster" can't tell the truth? Samuel
J. Tilden was elected by the people in
1876. but was defrauded of his Office
by a knavery that shames history,
backed by the party of "moral ideas
which in turn had the supporting
power of the bayonet. To the average
Republican rooter the Office is the
thing, regardless OF how it is obtained.
Grover Cleveland was elected upon a
platform which declared-"We hold
to the use of both gold and silver as
the standard money of the country,
and TO the coinage of both gold
and silver, without discriminating
against either metal or charge for
mintage." The letter to which the
Republican refers was written before
the platform was adopted, and when
Cleveland accepted his nomination
upon that platform large number oil
damphools believed he was possessed
of sufficient honor to either decline
the nomination or submit his individ-
ual views to the pledge he made in
accepting it. He might have done the
latter as consistently as Mckinley did
four years later when he sank has indi-
vidual convictions and bowed down to
the golden calf Mark Hanna set up for
him. When the Stuffed Prophet be-
trayed his party and spurned its SOL
emn plight of faith to the people they
threw him overheard and in so doing
asserted their sovereign manhood.
Though disintegrated for time,
through the treachery of its leaders,
the Democratic party glried its loins,
took courage from the justice of its
cause, and gave wonderful battle to
the common enemy. Victory is sure to
come in spite of the allied hosts oil
Trusts and Boodle-would have come
in 1896 if the decision had been left to
the native-born white American citi-
zens.

Bad management keeps more people
Ia poor circumstances than any other

look ahead and plan ahead so that
when favorable opportunity presents
itself he is ready to take advantage of

much expense and valuable time. A

The war against the Filipinos has
been waged for eight months. and we
have been frequently advised that the
..rebels" were in their last ditch; but
somehow they keep coming up smiling
after every humiliation, and their de-
struct:on must be repeated again and
again. just now they are ''near
Manila" raising all kinds of Hades, re-
CARELESS of the fact that Gen. Otis has
time and again reported their driving
into the remote recesses of the noun
tains. With the end of the war daily
in sight, we are informed that the re-
cruiting stations in this country are
wide open and the officers actively in
ducing enlistments. All this is very
confusing to free people unused to the
beauty and ramifications of censored
war dispatches.

we came upon a detachment strongly

different operations during which the
starch Of the grains is turned into grape

The food IS in shape OF small granules
perhaps twice the size Of a pin-head.
These are brittle and covered with slistcn-

been produced by the processes and form
out on the surface Of each small granule

tallizes on tho end OF hickory or maple
