The fate Of four persons who are
confined in the Ohio county Jail under
conviction for murder, hangs upon the
action of the State Supreme Court of
Appeals, which will be based upon the
arguments made by counsel to-day.
There was no session Of the Supreme
Court yesterday. To-day the appeal
cases from the First judicial circuit
embracing the counties of Hancock
Brooke, Ohio and Marshall, will be
taken up. The two most interesting
cases on the docket are those. of State
VS.. Johnson and Devinney, convicted
for the murder of Mclaughlin, and
State VS.. Mooney and Friday, convicted
for the murder OF James Hervey. The
arguments in the former case will
probably be the most interesting, as
the number of legal points involved is
greater. Both cases will be argued
upon writs or error.
The johnson and Devinney case will
first be brought up. Capt B. B. Dove
ner and S. o. Boyce will appear for the
prisoners and w. C. Meyer and John
A. Howard for the State. The prac-
tice Of the court has been to give the
plaintiff an hour and half for argu-
ment, and the defense one hour. The
time may be extended to-day, however.
The Mooney and Friday cases may not
be reached until this afternoon. Col
Arnett will appear for the prisoners,
and John A. Howard Tor the State. If
the Assistant Attorney General does
not appear, Prosecuting Attorney Mes
bitt will assist Mr.. Howard.
The other First circuit cases on the
docket are as follows:
Geo. Johnson, ct al, VS.. Annie NJ.
Hunter, ct al, Ohio county.
John Porter VS.. John H. Mack, ct al.
Hancock county.
Raymond Uthermolen, Unfit, ETC., VS..

THE TRUSTS GIRDING THEM

The trusts, reading the handwriting
ON the wall, are preparing to make the
fight Of their lives in the coming Con-
gress to preserve their tariff license to
plumber. Their organs are attacking
IN advance every Republican member
Of Congress who shall join in the move
to reform the tariff. AS the Register
has remarked. this move will MT be
confined to the Democratic side Of the
House at the coming session. Demo-
cratic tarin reformers will have a very
large and formidable Republican fol-
loving and It Is this that seriously
worries the trusts.

WHERE IS THE FARMERS PRO-
TECTIONf

The American farmer in these days OF
prchibitory protection by tariff may
we'll ask where he is at when he studies
the official statements of the agricul-
tural department. The latest OF these
is especially interesting to protectionists
on both sides of the ocean.
It is common knowledge that our ex-
ports have been chiefly agricultural and
the increase Of our manufactured ex-
ports in recent years has been the sub
ject of much boasting. During the last
calendar year our agricultural exports
were CPS per cent of the total and
manufactured exports, after all the
boosted increase, were only 3O.3S per
cent of the total.
But it has not been so widely adver-
tised that we import agricultural pro-
ducts to no inconsiderable extent. The
statement above mentioned shows that
during the last calendar year the value
of the agricultural produce imported
was $420,139,2SS. This was no less than
60.7 per cent of our total imports.
Another fact brought out is that we
get more of our agricultural imports
from Europe than from any other part
OF the world. In view of which fact the
American farmer may well ask where
he comes in on the high tariff deal and
if he can stand this invasion" from
'pauper labor" Europe. why the trusts
howl so loudly when their home mar
ket is touched.
But the farmer, if he were thoroughly
UP to the tarlff-trust scheme as now
operated, would understand that if we
didn't take a certain amount large
amount, indeed-of European products.
the trusts would have to demand gold
OF Europe in payment for their export
ed wares, and that would disastrously
restrict their markets abroad, for no
nation could carry on a great export
trade and receive only gold in return.
That would in short order cause con-
gention Of the gold of the world in one
spot. As it is the great European banks
are considering measures to protect
their gold which is flowing to America
in unprecedented quantity and a gen.
eral European tariff war against Amer
lean products is the only remedy in
sight.
So the American farmer will readily
understand why it is that we import
SO much OF Europe's agricultural pro-
ducts. 1t is the only alternative to dis
astrously increasing the drain of gold
from Europe-unless, to be sure. we
should permit other European products
besides those of the farm to enter our
ports. But of course the trusts. which
have the whiphand of the situation.
could never think of permitting an "in-
vasion' by the manufactured products
of ''pauper labor" Europe. Bless you.
no.
Such invasion as it is absolutely
necessary we should have must not be
in the home market of the sacred
trusts. 1t is the American farmer who
must stand it. His market Is any
body's market. He can't be protected by
tariff, or at least the trusts tell him
SO. But the trusts can be-and they
are. Under our benefcent tariff-trust
system it is the farmers great privilege
to hold the bag"

AN "OBJECT LESSON"
The Honduras correspondent of ar


Having occasion to use some money in
the. interior. l went to the local banker,
and, taking a single United States bill
from my pocket to purchase the same, was
asked, is your mule at the door, My re-
ply was, He is ready And for the single
bill, weighing less than one-quarter of an
ounce, | was obliged to load the mule with
one hundred and fifty pounds of silver
money and transport it some ninety miles
into the interior. Surely, the 16 to l doc
trine Is soon Knocked out of even the most
rabid silver man after short experience
In this country, and you can't get rid of

Even though the 16 to l doctrine
may be dead beyond resurrection it
seems impossible for the organs even
now to tell the truth about it. The
organ whose correspondent we quote
was quite willing to accept free and
unlimited coinage of silver at 80 to in
tne last campaign, or at least it and all
the others said so-all they wanted be-
ing an honest" ratio and not fifty
cent" silver dollar. Now if the Re
publican honest" ratio had prevailed
in Honduras the correspondent would
have had to lug around in exchange for
his paper not $50 pounds of silver, but
300 pounds!
The weight OF his argument there
fore is in the negative direction. In
truth 1t does not apply at all in the
United States since the paper represent
atives of silver in circulation are just as
light as gold certificates, or as the
greenbacks, which are nothing at all

ers of Baltimore society, who died recently.
At one of her famous receptions rather
awkward young man, with little social ex-
perience, accidentally knocked over and
smashed one of pair of beautiful and cost
ly vases. Seeing his chagrin and embarrass-
ment, the hostess Immediately put him at
his ease by declaring: ooh, Mr. am
so much obliged to you for breaking that
vase. l never did like it, and 1 have been
hoping that could get rid of it somehow.
Now that you have given me the excuse |
am going to give myself the pleasure Of
smashing the other one," which she accord
ingly proceeded to Do, although she priced
the vases highly. It is said that to shop
girl or q theater ticket seller or anyone else
who did her some favor or act of courtesy
her thanks were so charming that the per.
son thanked fairly worshiped her thereafter.
