AMONG the men indicted in st. Louis
under evidence furnished by the Ma
jors Committee was one Philper, a
member of the Board of Engineers,
charged with misdemeanor in Office.
He was accused of having issued en-
gineers' licenses without examination
"a handsome bribe being the consid-
Grafton. Well, his trial was concluded
in the Court of Criminal Correction
Tuesday, and he was discharged be-
cause prosecuting Attorney Glover
neglected to introduce in evidence the
city ordinance to show under what act
and section the prosecution was being
made" When the State had conclud-
ed its case defendants counsel moved
his discharge on the above very palpa-
BILE error on the part of a Republican
official, and the court had to order his
release. 1t shows that occasionally
even Republican officials may fail to
make indictments stick.

Ed. Register-The gentle, refreshing
showers OF rain which came yesterday
and last night were very much appre-
ciated by all farmers out here. How
lovely, indeed, is the whole forest!
Nature, with all of her characteristic
grandeur. appears to smile to-day.
Meadows look well, and. with copi-
Gus showers of rain through this month,
will make an excellent yield of grass.
Farmers are nearly done planting
corn; that is, most of them, while few
have their corn plowed over.
On the afternoon of the goth, ult.,
quite a severe hail storm visited this
locality. The storm lasted only twen-
ty minutes, but did much damage to
gardens and young fruit trees; in

pletely destroying the crop of apples.
The storm came at $3.50 P. NJ, and at
noon the following day the hail, in
many places, was two feet deep.
Recently Jno. Wallen, of Cross
Roads, was in this locality looking af-
ter a school, and while out here
stopped and took dinner with us.
After considerable wrangle the
school board in this district have con-
cluded not to build school house this
year. They will haye the school
taught in the church house, and of
course will have the school to open
early, instead of late as had been con-
templated. 1t is the intention to build
good frame building, have it ceiled,
weatherboarded and painted, and to
do this the Board thought it best to
have plenty of time. This was a wise
move. 1t is said that Jno. Wallen
will probably teach the school the en-
suing year.

If the Facts statement of the facts
pertaining to the gambling cases tried
at De Soto last week is true, they are
remarkable: A man and wife run a
gambling dive for months; selling mid
night lunches at dollar a lunch; dis
pensing without license) red liquor at
fifteen cents dram; and taking live
ly rake-off from the game. The rake
off grows with passing time until it
becomes the butt-end of the stakes.
The gamblers finally tire of this and
they seek new quarters where the
rake-offs are lighter, and mayhap the
liquor and lunches cheaper and better.
This arouses the latent moral sense of
the late game-keepers, and they fly to
Church and State in behalf of the per-
lied good name of the community.
The awful vice of draw-poker is writ
ten in letters of living fire on the ten
der hearts of all good De Sotians and
they naturally writhe under the inflic-
ton. A public meeting is called and
the opera house is crowded to over
flowing with the Mayor, men, women,
preachers, lawyers, and Judge Jno. L.
Thomas with suitable string of reso-
lutions. The wife of the late dive
keeper gives Information" against
twenty sinners, and they are yanked
and fined $50 and costs each, day or
two after the aforesaid meeting had
resoluted their fate. Some of the said
sinners, however, holding that the
goose no less than the gander is en-
titled to a portion of the greens, FLED
information against their prosecutors;
but the city attorney would none of it,
and SO these latter went free and will
go free forever, so far as their offense
and the city of De Soto is concerned.
1t is probably the first instance on
record where the graver offense was
condoned in order that the lighter
might be punished. But public meet
ings-indignation meetings, especially
often result in iucongruity.

Iowa than before. Many demo-
Gratis who voted for Bryan told me
that they were satisfied with the
situation, and would vote for the
reelection of Mckinley"
Senator Scott, of w. Va, who
has just returned from a trip to the
Pacific coast, gave the Democrats
who imagine that a successful cam
paign can be made on an anti-ex-
pansion and free silver platform, a
valuable pointer, when he told
them that the Democrat most
mentioned for the Presidential
nomination out there was Senator
Morgan, of Ala, who is admired
because of his work in behalf of
the Nicaragua canal, his robust
expansion views, and his hearty
support of the foreign policy Of
President Mckinley, during and
since the war with Spain.
Admiral Dewey has written that
he will arrive in New York harbor
not later than Oct. /, and that he
may possibly get there a little
earlier. He will receive such a
welcome and evasion as was never
given to any American, and the
best part Of it is that he deserves
all the honor that can be given
him.
Ex-senator Wilson, of the State
of Washington, says expansion is
not party question in his state,
as it is endorsed by practically the
entire population. He thinks there
isn't the slightest doubt of Presi-
dent McKinley's reelection by an
increased majority, both in the
popular vote and the electoral col
lege. Like other observant men
who have recently been in the ex-
treme West, Mr.. Wilson thinks
that Bryan is losing ground so fast
in that section that he will not be
re-nominated by the Democrats.
1t is only because of Bryan's sup
posed control of the West and
South that he has any support at
all in the East. If the West and
South do not send solid delegations
for him, to the Democratic Ma
tional Convention, he will stand
but little show, even with the two
thirds rule, which his friends are
working to abolish, out of the way.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From oar Regular Correspondent
WAsHINGToN, July 18th. 1895

w <1SAA1~''iSAF1 odiJ i'eii. 1000
President Mckinley is much in
terested in the daily reports re-
ceived at the War Department
from the recruiting officers and
greatly pleased at the promptness
with which men are enlisting-the
average is nearly 400 a day-for
the hard service known to be be-
fore them in the Philippines, al
though he is not surprised He
has an abiding faith that the pat
riotism OF Americans is strong
enough to promptly meet every
call that it may be necessary to
make upon it. 1t is now certain
that the ten new regiments of vol
unteers will be recruited in time to
be sent to Gen. Otis as soon as he
can use them, which will not be
until after the rainy season is over
in the Philippines.
Director Roberts, OF the L. S.
Mint, has just returned from a trip
through the middle West. He
said OF what he observed: Money
is plentiful and the West seems to
have all of it's share. In fact,
there is 50 much money that Ne
braska banks, for instance, are
competing for commercial paper in
Chicago, with interest at a low
rate. | do not think this has ever
occurred before. Heretofore, the
Western banks have never had too
much money and have had to bor-
row from Chicago and the East.
Money is going from the West to
the East, and this renders the
money market in the East easy.
Therefore American money is 90
ing to Europe, where interest is
higher. There is not much talk of
politics in the West. The general
understanding is that President
Mckinley and Mr.. Bryan will be
re-nominated Mr.. Mckinley will
carry more western states than he
did three years ago, and will OBJ
tain q much larger majority in

"a protective tariff is the mother
of trusts" said Mr.. Havemeyer
recently. Socialism follows in
the wake of trusts" remarks At
torney General Remley. of Iowa.
Phrasemaking is such an easy
thing that it is liable to lead man
from the strict paths of truth and
common sense at any time. Prac-
tice proves that the tariff is the
mother of prosperity and that
trusts are by no means the growth
of any particular system of taxa
ton, and that further, they have
nothing more to do with socialism
than is found in a very distant
nod Of acquaintance. The phrase
makers need to make new start
and phrase on facts.-Philadelphia

Unless all signs fail, the people

ton heaped upon Secretary of War

the insults of his enemies. His

WOULD LIMIT, NOT STOP, TRUSTS.
How the Issue Raised by Havemeyer
Is Regarded i'm Various Sections
of the Country.

New York Press.
Senator Chandler, of New Hamp-
shire, has some views on Havemeyer's
recent declarations on trusts and the
Tariff. He characterizes the Sugar
Trust boss as plutocratic Democrat.
Havemeyer, according to Chandler, is
a multi-millionaire Democrat, who,
false to his own party, cannot influence
ten votes. Neither can he influence
votes by his money. He will not dare
give it up to Bryan, and there is no
one else to whom he will dare give it.
The Republican party is not afraid
that any capital can be made against
the Tariff on account of trusts. These
exist everywhere all over the world,
in Free-Trade as well as in Tariff coun-
tries.
'"The Republican doctrine as it will
be enunciated at the next national
convention, which will renominate
Mr.. Mckinley" said Mr.. Chandler, 'is
that it is unnecessary to destroy any
industry in this country in order to
restrain trusts. We want home indus
tries, and we don't want trusts.
SIN order to maintain the home in
dustries we must have high Tariff
duties against the cheap labor and the
cheap products of foreign countries.
The maintenance of the Tariff as an
American doctrine was settled beyond
peradventure by the election of Nc
Kinley in 1896, and the enactment of
the Dingley bill. We are not going to
destroy the Tariff as means of check
ing trusts.
"But how are you going to check
trusts?''
''They can be restrained easily and
absolutely if the people and their Leg
islatures and Congress wish to do it by
suitable laws. There can be no huge
and dangerous trusts maintained by
partnerships or individuals. They can
only flourish through immense corpor-
ations issuing stocks and bonds These
corporations can only be created by
'obIlbC hCS SlolttldlCS, Sth't OllS Sttllle
islatures which create them can destroy
them.
"Without completely destroying
them, Legislature can limit their
functions and powers, can absolutely
determine the business in which they
shall engage, and prevent them doing
any other. 1t can fix and limit the
amount of their capital stock and the
bonds which they can issue. Every
state Legislature can thus control the
corporations of its own State, and with
greater or equal facility can restrain or
control the corporations of other
States. Congress can control or de-
stroy the transportation trust and
some others. State Legislatures can
do the rest"
Senator Warren, of Wyoming, is an
other visiting statesman who bears
testimony to the public interest in the
trust question. He says:
''In the West the people are begin
ming to see that the trust business has
been overplayed. 1t will cease to have
its present terrors by the time the ma
tiOnal conventions meet. The question
moy figure in the campaign, but it now

Recruiting for the ten volunteer
regiments began the first of the

means, and there are many young
