especial influence in making good times
and bad times, or else the present good
times are the result of republican rule;
and the latter is the logical conclusion to
be drawn from Mr.. Bryan's speeches, the
populist and democratic platforms, and
the utterances of the democratic press
by the facts proving opposite to the con-
clusions they drew from their premises.
Here are statements from the Chicago
platform of 1895 on which Mr.. Bryan
made his canvas. Read what they say
remember what has since occurred
look at the present facts, and see and
say, if the logic of these statements COM
pared with present facts do not make the
prosperity of the country the result Of
republican rule. Here are the state
ments.
From the Chicago platform:
''We declare that the act Of 1873
demonitizing silver has resulted in the
appreciation of gold and corresponding
fall in the prices of commodities pro-
duced by the people and the prostration
of industry and impoverishment of the
people"
"Monometallism has locked fast the
prosperity of an industrial people" eve
denounce as disturbing to business the
republican threat to restore the Nc
Kinley law (tarif) which restricted trade
and deprived the producers of the great
American staples of access to their ma.
tural markets.
From Bryan's Chicago speech:
''If they dare come out. and in the
open defend gold standard as good
thing, we shall fight to the uttermost,
having behind us the producing masses
of this nation and the world. Having
behind us the commercial interests and
the laboring interests, and all the toiling
masses. we shall answer their demands
for a gold standard by saying to them
you shall not press down upon the brow
of labor this crown of thorns. You shall
not cruelty mankind upon a cross oi
gold"
"When we have restored the money ol
the constitution all other necessary re.
forms will be possible, and that until
that is done there is no reform that car
be accomplished"
''Ifprotection has slain its thousands
the gold standard has slain its tens O
thousands .t.s.:
These statements are each to the effec,
that republican rule would bring min and
disaster, particularly to the "brow o1
labor" If disaster and ruin had come,
like that, of Cleveland's: administration
then there would be no doubt in the
democratic counsels where to fix the
responsibility. But as the results are
the opposite-now-they say, republican
rule has nothing to do with prosperity.

Court.

Court opened on Tuesday with light
attendance, a brief calendar and but little
of public interest to occur. The first day
was spent in calling over the calenda,
and hearing motions and arguments on
motions to continue cases and den,.-re1s.
There does not seem to be much in
clination on the part of attorneys to try
cases and the term will doubtless be a
brief one.
The court set some cases for July 5th
at continued term, and thinks of hold
ing part of the jury to attendance at that
time.
On Wednesday evening a. large audi
ence assembled at the court room to
listen to the evidence in the case of
Joseph Houle who had already plead
guilty of murder in the first degree. His
Honor Judge Sauter taking the evidence
in order to have basis on which to fix
the punishment, which is either imprison-
ment for life or hanging. But little of
importance was developed beyond that
already testified and heretofore publish
ed in this paper. Three step-daughters
of Houle, Josephene Thifeault, Mrs. D..
Monette and Mrs. Louis Lecuyer, were
on the stand, and two sons of the de-
ceased. All testified to unhappy rela-
tions in the married life of the pair, and
the testimony of Josephene and of Mrs.
Lecuyer, who were present at the assault
and each of whom were struck with the
club by Houle, was clear that Houle was
not apparently drunk, but had murdered
their mother in deliberate manner and
had told them, while he was pounding
her, that was his intention.
Houle's own testimony however was
the clearest and most in detail, and if he
had been restifying against another per-
son he could not have told straiphter
and more horrible story. According to
his statement the quarrel began because
his wife would not get him dinner on his
return from church, then he threw her on
the floor, each had stick of stove wood.
he hit her first; he broke his club, then
got the axe which was within his reach.
Josephene took it away; then he got
another stick Of stove wood; the fight
was transferred to the lean-to shed, then
the woman got out. By Houle's own
testimony the assault ceased temporarily
several times, probably at least four
times, and then he went at her again.
Once the woman was leaning with her
hands against the building; he dragged
her away to the ground. Again when
she was staggering along the road trying
to get away. he grabbed the eight foot
poplar pole studded with projecting
nails, ran after her and felled her to the
earth. Then after leaving her there ii
her blood. he again saw her trying to
rise, and then he went again with the
pole and finished her. > The pole. a
most gruesome exhibit, was in the court
room and was covered with blood for !
distance Of about two feet from the
larger end.

County Court in SessfOn-Warm Con-
test for u NominatiOn-The Polit-
zeal Situation.
ELKINS, w. Va, March 1.-The
first session of court in the new coun-
ty seat is in session here. The Coun-
ty Court met to select a site for the
new court house. The places con-
tending are the orchard of P. H.
Wees, on Randolph avenue, and the
vacant lots known as the Public
Square" The fight has been bitter
and is still raging.
The report that petitions were in
circulation in the districts of Mingo
and Dry Fork asking for vote on
removal of the Court House is mere
fabrication. No such petitions exist
and never did since the Elkins vote.
The political situation here grows
more interesting. The fight in the
Democratic primaries over the nomi-
nation for Prosecuting Attorney pro-
misses to be the most heated contest
before the county convention. The
nomination being equivalent to an
election makes the fight in the con-
vention the more interesting. So far
there are four candidates, NJ H. King,
James Coberly, Lew Greynolds and c.
W. Harding. They are all strong
men and no mistake can be made in
the nomination of either.
1t is generally known over this
Congressional district that W. G. Will
son is a.candidate before the Republic
can convention for the Congressional
nomination, but it is not known so
generally that that candidacy is
merely in the interest of Judge Holt
or any other man to beat Dayton.
N. G. Keim, the Republican county
chairman, has experienced change Of
heart. He has always been an ardent
supporter and personal friend of
Dayton, but since his trip to Parkers-
burg and Wheeling last week he has
joined the ring and opposes Dayton.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March L.
WILDER Stewart, the newspaper pub
Usher at Mullan, Idaho, to-day con-
tinued his testimony before the House
committee on military affairs concern
ing the labor troubles in Idaho. He
said that on June his newspaper
plant was confiscated by two civilian
officials accompanied by detachment
of soldiers, causing him considerable
loss. The witness said that through
cut his detention he was given no
trial except before "the kangaroo
court"
He said this was the name applied
to an ''inquisition" carried on by a.
local official not magistrate. The
details of conversation with one of
the State officials, in which the latter
is said to have asked Stewart to re-
sumo publication of his paper ION the
side of law and order" threatening
that if the publication continued to
he as it had been Stewart might ex-
pect to remain in the "bull pen"
The witness testified as to the death
of one Johnson, prisoner in the "bull
pen" He said Johnson was taken be-
fore the ''inquisition" and an effort
made to learn from him the names of
those who participated in the riots.
When Johnson returned to the pen
he expressed fears that he would be
hung. He tried to kill himself with
Indian clubs and later while fleeing
from an imaginary foe he was shot
through the head and killed by a
guard. The witness said Johnson was
mentally sound before being put in the
pen" and he was pronounced insane
after being there. Other prisoners, he
said, were in fear of being shot, and
many thought the place was to be set

A Bill to Improve 1t and Reorganize
1t FayOrably Reported.

1t FavOrably Reported.
WASHINGTON, March 1.-The
House committee on foreign affairs
by vote of to 5 to-day reconsidered
it's former action and then by the
same vote agreed to favorable re-
port on the bill of Representative
Adams, of Pennsylvania, ito increase
the efficiency of the foreign service of
the United States and to provide fer
the reorganization OF the consular
service
At former meeting favorable act
ion was prevented by tie vote, and
the meeting to-day was for the spe-
cial purpose of reconsidering this ac-
ton. The bill as favorably recon-
mended is slightly amended from its
original form, the salary of consul
general of the first class being in
creased from $4,000 to $4,000, and that
of the second class from 5000 to S.
900. The bill provides for a non-par-
tisan commission to assist the presi-
dent in the reorganization of the con-
sular service. Consular offices are
graded, with fixed salaries and sys-
tenn of examination and promotion is
provided.
