1T WILL NOT DOWN.
Dreyfus Case Continually BObbinE
Up In the French Deputies.

I'D the FTemcn DeputleSs
PARIS. Dec. II. = In the Chamber of
Deputies to-day, during the debate on the
amnesty bill, M. Vazelle. Radical Socialist,
moved an amendment excluding forgers
and false witnesses from its provisions.
He explained that ordinary criminals
should never be allowed to profit by am
nesty, and, he added, there is nothing
viler and baser than forgery and lying
testimony" He did not desire to revive
the Dreyfus agitation. but he did not wish
them to find their hands tied should a
fresh fact come TO light.
The premier. M. Waldeck- Rousseau, re-
piled that the effect of the amendment
would be to stir up the whole affair again.
and the Republican party would find itself
confronted by perils it has already over
come and which it would be objectionable
to resuscitate. Continuing. the premier
said that the Nationalist party was op-
posed to amnesty. not in order to permit
Dreyfus to establish his innocence, but to
take advantage of Misunderstanding to
which it would give rise. 1t was easy to
see through their game. The Dreyfrs af-
fair was the broth upon which Nationalism
was nourished. They desired to delay the
realization Of Republican reforms, and in
voting for the law OF associations the gov
ernment asked the majority to again in
spire itself with the superior interests of
the republic and not confound their votes
with those of the worst enemies of Democ-
racy. He asked for the confidence of the
chamber. The remarks of the premier were
greeted with prolonged applause. After
further debate the chamber voted conf
dence in the premier by the rejection of the
amendment, the vote standing 341 to 90.

similar checks for sums ranging from $40

of $50 on Dec. Il was detected by Miss
Leary, who Immediately informed the
bank In cashing this last check the girl

exhausted her supply of blanks and would
like to have a new book. 1t was given to

PROSPERITY CERTAIN
and LIBERTY ASSURED.
Views Of a Noted Jewish Publisher on
the Country's Future.

AS far as human judgment can fore
see-at least so it seems to the writer
the next four years should be more pros
porous than anything this country has
ever before seen. There will be an enor-
mously increased demand for our natural
products, such as iron, and just now coal;
and our manufactured products are also
rapidly making their way. In certain
lines, such as agricultural implements,
tools and light vehicles, in fact whatever
il is necessary to combine lightness with
strength, we are away ahead of the rest
of the world. and it is only because we
have not cultivated the foreign markets
with sufficient assiduity that we have
given our competitors ghost of a show.
In other lines than those mentioned
above, such as ladies' fine shoes and
others that the writer could mention, we
also form n class by ourselves superior to
the rest of the world. These conclusions
many countries.
A second point which ought to be
we'll presented is that OF expansion. You
no doubt are aware of the greater or less
persecution which the Jews have under
gone in all the countries of the world. and
are still undergoing to-day. Therefore
one of the things that we desire to see
established above all others is the univer
sal principle of the right of any decent
man to go anywhere where he thinks he
can improve his condition and enjoy all
the rights and immunities of native,
without being put to any disadvantage
because of his religion. There are really
only two countries that give this privi-
lege; these are the United States and
Great Britain.
We know that freedom fer !al, eqpalhN
for all, and safety and protection for alt
are guaranteed wherever the Stars and
Stripes float; hence we were expansion
lists from the start and will be until the
end. Wherever a country is practically
under American jurisdiction, 1t Is a good
thing for that country; it is a good thing
for humanity, and thing that is so good
cannot fail to be good thing for the
country itself in the end, though 1t may
be costly in the beginning.
These are the points which we think
ought to be emphasized. The questions
ought to be treated in the very broadcast
way; details do not count.

McKinley's farm is a profitable one.
In any season when crops are good it
yields richly. This years potato crop
will probably aggregate 1000 bushels.
The corn fields have been known to pro-
duce as high as $500 bushels in single
year. Last year the meadows produced
100 tons of hay. The oats crop this year
aggregates some 700 bushels.
This is apple butter making time in
this section OF the country. Many of the
apples on McKinley's farm, just at the
present time, are being made into apple
butter. The large orchard is an impor-
tant part of McKinley's farm. One good
year LOO bushels of Baldwins were
gathered and as many more of other
kinds kinds, making a total yield Of near
~ $500 bushels. Part OF the produce of
the farm has been shipped to Canton
from time to time to the Mckinley home,
but none has ever been sent to Washing
ton. Canton is about twenty miles from
the farm.
Selling milk is one OF the Industries of
the farm. There are twenty-five head of
cattle. There are nine mich cows. Some
of them are blooded stock. Raising

The residence is two-story structure,
built sixty years ago. 1t is now getting
quite old in appearance. 1t shelters eleven
rooms. The porch is about the size of
McKinley's famous front porch ut Can
ton, and then on to the upright part there
is wing which is n story and half in
height The lawn is we'll kept, and
morning glories grow upon the fences at
one side.
Besides the house, there are six build
ings on the farm. There is the main
barn. the sheep barn, the two large wag-
on sheds. the scale house and the pig PEN
The accompanying picture shows the
main barn to the right and the main
wagon shed to the left.
The Mckinley farm is visited each
year by people who, on passing through
that section, hear OF the Presidents farm
and are curious to see what kind OF a
farmer he is. One visitor once asked for
n fence rail for souvenir Of his visit.
The Adams family has become used to
kodak fends and fully realize that to re-
side on the Presidents farm is to be, in
sense, in the public eye.-W. Frank

PROTECTION FOR
The CATTLEMAN.
How 1t Helps the Northwestern Stock
Raiser to Compete with Canada.

Every one in Cass County, :. d., knows
James S. Landers of Argusvillc, and he
is pretty well known in the State. lie
has lived here some twenty years. is a
most successful farmer, and attends
closely to his farm interests. Being Of
English descent, however, it would he
natural that he might favor free trade
IDEAS. but he has evidently been studying
the effect of protection and free trade on
the farmer, and he sends in the following
letter for publication, which is worthy
of close perusal by all.
Argusvillc, Oct. ;.
1 came down to Fargo to hear the Hon.
J. ID. Seaman, and his speech was the
best argument ever heard on political
topic; there was no gas and no wind
just solid facts.
can give you good illustration of his
arguments, which l picked up on the
train going to Fargo; 1t was a freight.
and OH the train was cattle man from
Manitoba, and he was along with 1O2
head OF 2-year-old steers. He had ship
ped these from his home, eighty miles
west Of Winnipeg, to find a market In
this country. 1t had cost him 5000 for
duty to enter this stock; his freight was
231a cents per hundred from Neche to
st. Paul and then he had to reship to
Chicago. He had been five days on the
way when he reached Fargo.
Now here is the point for my brother
farmers to study little: This Manitoba
farmer ships his cattle from the other
side OF the line to Chicago, pays heavy
duty, pays the freight, feed three times
on the way, suffers heavy shrinkage, and
then sees better profit at the end than
he can get at homeland after paying all
these expenses.
Here Is where we free trade farmers
are blind to our own interests, when we
want these cattle to come In free, and IL
this was allowed what would we get for
our stock! They would not be worth the
raising and we would return to beggary,
where thousands were before, under free
trade.
Now, / am interested in cattle, and
have been considering starting in stock
raising In the Canadian Northwest, where
you can raise a steer until he Is three
years old for about SO, but what can
you get for him then? He Is worth about
two cents n pound. and he has to be IA
good one to bring that.
Oh, no, l guess I'll not try that. but
I'll stay in North Dakota and vote for
Mckinley and protection. That Is good
enough for me.

WARNING TO THE POOR.
Only D;magogues Will Try to lncite q
Contest Of Money.

l see in those vehicles which carry 10
the people sentiments from high places,
plain declarations that the present con-
trovcrsy Is but a strife between one part
OF the community and another. | hear it
boosted that the poor hate the rich. L
know that under the cover of the roofs
OF the capital within the last twenty
four hours, among men sent here to de-
wise means for the public safety and the
public good, it has been Wanted forth as
matter of boast and triumph that one
cause existed powerful enough to sup
port everything and to defend every
thing; and that was the natural hatred
OF the poor to the rich. l pronounce the
author of such sentiments to be guilty
Of attempting dctestable fraud on the
community; double fraud; fraud
which is to cheat men OF their property.
and out of the earnings Of their labor by
first cheating them out OF their under
standing.
The natural hatred OF the poor for the
rich 1t shall not be until the last mo-
ment of my existence that | will believe
the people of the United States capable
OF being cffectually dcluded, cajoled and
driven about in herds by such abominable
frauds as this. l admonish the
people against the object Of outcries like
this. / admonish every industrious la
borcr in the country to be on his guard
against such delusion. l tell him the
attempt is to play off his passions
against his interests and to prevail on
him in the name of liberty to injure and
afict his country and in the name of in
dependence to destroy that independence
and to make him n beggar and n slave.

PRESIDENT M'KINLEYS MODEL OHIO farm
Not a Political Farm, but Managed in an Able Man
ner, and the Place Is Noted One in
the Countryside.

President Mckinley owns farm. A
great deal has been written about Mr..
Bryan's farm, but heretofore no descrip-
ton Of Mr.. McKinley's broad expanse
Of corn fields, meadows, COW pastures
and orchards, which comprise 162H acres.
His well-kept barns, corn cribs and wag-
on sheds show care and thrift The wool
on the backs of 200 sheep shines with
cleanliness, for McKinley's farm is a
model one and modern one. Unlike the
famous Nebraska farm Of the Democratic
candidate for President, the public
knows little about it. Two miles from
Minerva, one mile from Bayard, Ohio,
it stands on a sloping parcel of ground
surmounted by the orchards of Baldwin
apples. The Cleveland and Pittsburg
Railroad crosses a corner of the farm and
the Big Sandy canal courses through the
field at one side of the main road.

calves is also an occupation. Ten fine
horses are constantly employed. These
are all draft horses. Two hundred sheep
Craze on the hillside. One season 115
sheep were sold from this place. This
shows what good market there is for
the wool and mutton which comes from
the Presidents farm. The chickens num-
Der more than 200.
The man who has charge Of Mr.. Nc
Kinley's farm is w. j. Adams. formerly
Of Canton, but who was raised in Penn
sylvania. He is a farmer who under
stands his business, and it is said, in the
vicinity that there is not n more prosper
Gus farm in all that section. He has a
half interest in everything. The fences
are all kept up and there is an appear
ancc of neatncss which marks his work.
Mr.. Adams has lived on this place for
the past twenty years, and Mr.. Mckinley
is delighted with him.

of the government cannot fully adjudge.
The final and controlling word upon this
question Is with the Supreme Court OF
the United States. Cases involving the
question are, l understand, pending. and
a decision In which we all must acquiesce
cannot be much deferred.
II think, therefore, that voters ought
to vote with a view to the right decision
OF those questions that are directly and
finally In the control OF the President
and Congress.
Firm Against Bryan.
"The general reasons gave in my Car
negie Hall speech in 1896 why Mr.. Bryan
should not he elected still hold good with
me. His election would, L think. throw
governmental and business affairs into
confusion.
I'VE should not aid the election Of a
President who would, admittedly, IL he
could, destroy the gold standard and 9TH
er things that we value even more, upon
the deceptive suggestion that he has been
bound and that the Republican party will,
after defeat, stjli~have strength enough
to save the terhplcl
1T will be much better not TO allow the
man with destructive tendencies so much
rs to lean against the pillars.
Quotes from the Past.
perhaps it will save you much trouble
if l give you, and underwrite as of this
date, this extract from my Carnegie Hall
speech
"When we have n President who be-
leves that it is neither his right nor his
duty to see that the mail trains are not
obstructed, and that Interstate commerce
has its free way, irrespective OF State
lines, and courts that fear to use their
ancient and familiar writs to restrain and
punish lawbreakers. free trade and free
silver will be appropriate accompani
mcnts OF such an administration and can
not add appreciably to the national dis
tress or the national dishonor.'
Prosperity Is Cited.
THE economic policies of the ReDub-
lican party have been indicated by the
remarkable and general prosperity that
has developed during Mr.. Mckinlcy's ad-
nistration--succeeding period Of great
depression. A change OF administration
this fall would almost certainly renew
conditions from which we have so hap
PLY escaped.
