The Judiciary Committee passed upon

Circuit courts, deciding that it should be
borne half by the State and hall by the
counties composing the circuit, except as
to the Circuit court Tor Richmond city,
Henrico and Charles City county. In thl7
case the State will pay not only It's han,
but the proportion OF Richmond, because

ID. X. Watson of Ohio. Recently Sen
ator Foraker found the final draft of
the platform, and discovered that
the words in question had been PEN
ciled between the typewriter lines,
and that they are in the handwriting
of Senator Lodge. SO Senator
Chandler has just sent to Senator
Lodge a check for the sum promised,
accompanied by letter, in which he
says, among other things:
"All wise men know that McKin
ley and Hobart would not have been
elected If the platform had not while
declaring opposition to the free
coinage of silver, except as the result
of an international agreement, also
declared that the Republican party
favored such an international agree
ment, if it could be secured. If Nc,
Kinley and Hobart had not been elect
ed in 1896, Mr.. Mckinley would not
have been reelected in 1900. There
fore those six words were of priceless
value, and trust that when all the
facts are known my humble offering
of 500 will be supplemented by such
generous donations not only from
many members of the Republican
party, but as well from Democrats
who have so much trembled at every
prospect of the election Of Mr.. Bry.
an, as to adequately recognize the
sagacity and courage which led you
not merely to conceive but to actually
insert into the platform of 1896 con
cerning bimetallism the words,
(which we pledge ourselves to pro
mote" That immortal declaration
twice made Mr.. Mckinley President
and the fidelity with which the pledge
has been fulfilled the world knows
This is decidedly interesting, ant
1t ought to start a fine hot seasoI

Farmers are in crying need of men
to help them in their farm work and
the city contains more men every
day who are out of employment in the
shops. The summer dull season in
the city comes at about the same time
the farmer has the greatest need for
men to help in harvest work each
summer.
Numbers of Akron men who were
unable to find work for themselves
in the shop during the dull season
of the summer have taken
advantage of this state of affairs and
gone to the country in search of work.
Farmers have found the help thus Sc
cured rather inferior in point Of ex-
perience, but by patience such diff
cuties have usually been sat
isfactorily adjusted. Most of the
crops are harvested now, and the drift
will soon be cityward again. BY
that time most of the Akron shops
will have recovered from the slump
they experience each year and many
difficulties that otherwise might
prove serious to the workingmen are
thus avoided.
