Why He Lost he Case.

i once had il case. said Il member of
the bar. against .: man in the country,
which was as clear as daylight i'm my
favor. but, by the cunning of his law
yer. he had continued to avoid coming
to trial for about two years.
At last the cas- was called. late in the
term and late i'll IL hot day. the court
and jury tired and impatient. l stated
the facts. and produced the evidence,
which was all on my side.
they wished TO argue the case. stating
that lie hardly thought it necessary to
submit it in 50 plain II matter. The
lawyers agreed to submit it without ar.
gumenr. The jury went out, and i'm.
mediately returned With Il verdict for
the defendant.
AS soon as the court adjourned l
sought the foreman of the jury and
asked him how in the name of cOmmon
they came to render such IL ver-
diet.
why, you see." said lie, 1--WE didn't
think much of the lawyer against YOU,
and it wasn't strange he didn't have
nothing to say; but. squire, the fact is
we thought you was about one of the
smartest lawyers in the country. and
If YOU couldn't find nothing to say on
your side 1t must be n pretty hard
case, SO WI had to go against YOU"

E~nElishnacn Do Not Enthuse Over His

n copyrighted London cablcgram to
the New York Tribune says If there be
any doubt in the United States respect
ing English opinion of Mckinley and
Republican politics, it may be dispelled
by the reticcnce of the London and pro-
vincial press respecting the work of
the Philadelphia convention. There are
few comments Oh it, and such us there
are have a p%erfunctory sound. These
are not eulogies of Mckinley, and the
Republican party is not embarrassed
by English patronage or tlattcry. The
party platform is described us moder-
ateslnd the nominations as good as the
circumstances permitted. The nearest
approach to compliment is the Specta-
tors remark that Mckinley is possibly
too much of n politician, but that he
has Won and receives International re-
spect.
The English press is preocupied with
affairs in South Africa and China, and
has no space in reserve for u trivial in
GA0CuI VI iAuStO.SdAOu History, SUCH us
the election of a President by n nation
of eighty millions. Moreover, there are
no illusions here respecting either Pres
ident Mckinley or the Republican par
ty. Both L known to be downright
American, and not in any sense Eng
fish. President Mckinley is not sus-
pected of having ever made an apology
for Introducing the tariff bill which
bore his name, and the party which re-
nominated him, so far from repudiat-
ing protectionism. has reafiirmed it and
added to it subsidies for American ship
ping.
Nobody in England ever speaks of
Mckinley as anything but an uncom-
promising champion of American ideas
and policies. Hence his denomination
is received here without enthusiasm
and with quiet reserve, as possibly not
the best choice, but one which divides
the Republican party least.

Corn, oats, hay and potatoes show
the largest gains in both States. While
wool is not so much grown here as in
the far Western States, still the in
crease under protection in the value of
the clip has been satisfactory to those
farmers who :aise sheep. In Missouri
this years cotton crop was worth al
most twice as much as it was in 1896
under the Democratic administration.
Lastly, al examination of the num-
Der of bank depositors in Kansas and
Missouri is full of facts upon which
our citizens can congratulate them
selves. The figures are taken from the
last annual report of the Comptroller
of the Currency:
In the State of Kansas there were
53,151 people who had bank accounts
In 1894; last year there We're 1OO,S4O
bank accounts in that State. In 1894
the total deposits in Kansas amounted
to $17,147,1GO; last year the total
amount of the deposits was $50, 500, 1O1.
There has been an increase of practic-
ally 100 per cent, both in the number
of people who had money to deposit in
the banks, and in the total noun Of
money on deposit in Kansas.
In the State of Missouri there were
117,3G7 persons who had bank accounts
in 1894; last year there were 213,0O9
bank accounts. In 1894 the total
amount of deposits in Missouri was
533,921,953 In 1899 the deposits in all
the banks of Missouri had increased to
$141. 72G,449. While the number of de-
positors in Missouri had increased by
30 per cent. the total amount of money
deposited had increased by 100 per
cent.
These facts and figures do not show
the increase in the business done at the
stores, mines and factories, nor the
larger amount of wages paid to the
thousands of people who earn their
livelihood in these two States.
While the Democratic orators are en-
larging upon the benefits that will hap
pen to the. country If Democratic
President and Democratic Congress be
elected this year, our citizens should
not neglect the blessings and prosperi-
ty which they have derived under the
Republican administration that is now
in power. 1t is unwise to throw away
the substance for the shadow.

KANSASAND MISSOURI
REMARkAsLE PROSPERITY IN
THE TWO STATES.
Comparison Of Gain in Wealth Last
Yenr-Higher Values of Live Stock
and Crops-Great Increase in Bank
rlDeposits and in Depositors.

Missouri has gained $12S,OOO,G COO in
wealth under this Republican admins
tratiOn. The State of Kansas has gain
ed almost 500, 600, 900 in wealth under
this Republican administration. These
substantial facts, showing that greater
prosperity has visited Missouri and
Kansas during the last three years,
should not be forgotten by their citi-
zens during the campaign.
The Democratic party is VIGOROUSLY
an anti-prosperity party, and the farm
ers and -wage-earners in Kansas and
Missouri must not allow themselves to
be led away by the false promises and
calamity bowling of their Democratic
friends. Our statements are from off,
cial figures and show the Increase in
wealth in these two States to be us fol-
lows.

MINNESOTA REPUBLICANS.

Expect to Increase Their Plurality for
Mckinley by 6O,OUO.
Minnesota Republicans are remarka-
bly, unanimous upon the issues of the
Presidential campaign and confident of
the reelection of President Mckinley.
There was not, in any quarter, IL breath
of opposition to his denomination. lie
is regarded as The logical leader of the
party upon the issues which so signally
triulnplled i'll his first election, and
upon the new issues which have arisen
during his administration. The triumph
of sound money, the restoration of the
protective principle in our tariff laws,
followed by the restoration of prosperi-
ty, and the broad craftsmanship with
which the President has dealt with the
perpleXing questions and conditions
growing out of the Spanish war, have
convinced IL people that a change
would not be desirable at this time
and that the best thing for the country
will be another four years of the same
kind of policy, with the same firm and
able hand at the helm of state.
l speak confidently of the conditions
in Minnesota, and my observation as
sures me that substantially the same
conditions prevail in all the States that
went Republican in 1896. Minnesota
will repeat her magnificent Republican
victory Of that year, and emphasize it.
We lost our Governor in 1898 through
local dissensions, but we elected all the
rest of the ticket and carried the Legis-
lature. There will he no dissensions
in this State this year in regard to any
candidate, and on the national ticket
we expect to see McKinley's plurality
of $3.50 four years g increased to at
least 10000. The Republicans will
make a clean sweep in Minnesota.
