go to show why meats are higher. The
Ledger does not take into account the
smaller products of the farms in Hamilton
county. such as sheep. poultry, butter, eggs
and fruits. but simply considers the staples
which every farmer raises.
There can be no doubt that the average
farmer who makes farming a business
has had his part OF the prosperity which
came TO the country after November, 1886,
despite the short wheat crop Of 1000 and the
short corn crop Of 1901. What he has had
TO sell has brought much better price,
and the fact that the short wheat crop
of 1900 and the short corn crop of 1901 has
not checked his apparent ability TO pur-
chase merchandise proves that the better
prices for other products have given him
more money than he had for years previous
10 1897 Just now the increase of the prices
OF the products of the farm since 1896 is
greater than that of the products of any
other industry. With the present outlook
for abundant harvest, no industry is
more promising than good farming. When
the farmer is in a condition to buy mer-
chandise the volume of trade is always
large. But when the farmer gets z cents
instead Of 31s cents for hogs, and a similar
increase on cattle, the remainder of US
will not be able to buy meats at the prices
which prevailed from 1894 TO 1898.

IsTHMIAN CANAL BILL.
Speeches by Senator's GaIIinger, Perk-
fns, Stewart and Perkins.

WASHINGTON, June l7-Throughout to-
days session Of the Senate the isthmisn
question was under consideration. Speeches
were delivered by Messrs Perkins of CAL
ifornia, GaIlinger OF New Hampshire. Stew
art Of Nevada. and Morgan OF Alabama.
All advocated the adoption OF the Nicara-
qua route except Mr.. Gallinger. who made
a forceful argument in support OF the Pan
anna route and who said his Investigations
convinced him that the Panama route was
the more healthful OF the two. The argu-
ments OF the senators In support or the
Nicaragua route were made especially on
the ground Of feasibility and business wis
dom.
Mr. Stewart and Mr. Morgan both con-
tended that the health conditions in Mic
aragua were superior 10 those In Panama.
Mr. Stewart said: THE climate OF Panama
is probably prohibitive Of a canal there IL
any regard is TO be paid 10 human life"
He dwelt particularly on the unhealthful
climate in Panama, and recOunted the great
difficulties in this respect encountered in
the construction OF the Panama Railroad

he. lis Panama when the winds are not
blowing. which is about eight months OF
the year Death stares IN the face all

that IL was impossible for white men 10
work in Panama and live.
Referring 70 the argument OF Mr. Kit
fridge that the government OF Costa Rica
was unable constitutionally 10 make an
agreement with the United States. Mr.
Stewart maintained that there would be rs
difficulty IN making such an agreement,
as Costa Rica already had agreed practi-
cally 10 the construction OF the canal lie
maintained that no clear title 20 the Pan
anna canal property could be obtained by
the United States. The Panama Canal
Company, he said. was a bankrupt con-
cern and could pass title 10 nothing.
Inc House amendments % the Senate
bill increasing the pensions OF manned sol
ciers were laid before the Senate. AR.
Galhnger, chairman OF the committee on
pensions. suggested that the amendments
destroyed the purpose OF the bill and prob
ably there would be no legislation on this
subject at this session. on hts motion the
Dill and amendments were referred 10 the
committee on pensions.
A remark made By Mr.. Morgan was re-
garded as significant as possibly fOreshad-
owing the result OF the vote on thursday.
Referring 20 the alleged wr0ngdoing py the
Panama Canal Company. he said. The
people believe IL now. and when this substi-
tute IS passed they viii know 1T

Captain Tried on the Charge of Cru
city to "a Private Soldier.

PLATTsBURG, N Y. June lin the
court-martial proceedings in the case Of
Capt. John L. Hines, to-day, two witnesses
were sworn by the prosecution. First Ser
geant Patrick Mcdonald, of Company II,
Twenty-third Infantry, testified that on
Captain Illness order he strung Private
Peniow up by the thumbs. On cross-ex-
animation by Capt. p. Z. Pierce, of West
Point Military Academy, counsel for Cap
tain Hires, Mcdonald admitted that
Peniow was at all times able TO stand
squarely on his feet, that he was not Sc
verely hurt. and that at the end Of about
five minutes Captain Hines ordered him
cut down and sent back to his cell. Peniow
had previously confessed his part in the
robbery, said the witness, but refused to
tell who else was implicated.
Private ]. Z. Grubbs, of Company @,
Twenty-third Infantry, testified that he
was on post duty near when the prisoner
was strung up, and heard Peniow exclaim
that they were hurting him.
For the defense Capt. w. H Sage, Sam
uel Seay and H. l.. Laubach, all of the
Twenty Infantry, testified TO the
large number of robberies and assaults Of
almost daily occurrence that took place
while the Twenty-third was IN Jolo, Of the
effect these had i'm encoura ging the native
moros TO acts of lawlessness. of the fact
that there seemed 10 De an organized DanO

drastic measures and summary punish
ment. They also testified that the arrest
and conviction OF Peniow practically broke
up the reign Of terror" as one witness
termed It, and no more disorder occurred.
Capt. Sage also testified that Peniow was
convicted and is now serving a sentence of
five years in a Philippine prison for the
postoffice robbery. Captain Seay testified
10 the shooting Of Lieutenant Noyes and
the stoning of Lieutenant Watts. OF the

were elected by the people, all for seven
years. 1t Is doubtful if the modern plan
of popular elections and short terms Of
Office has resulted in an Improvement Of
the judiciary. Judge Jenkins is of opinion
that "the principle of an elective judiciary.
with short tenure Of office and a meager
compensation allowed. tends to weaken the
character Of the bench, to lower it's dignity,
to lessen its hold on that respect which is
so essential 10 the due administration Of
the law and TO place temptations about the
position to which il should not be sub
jected." Lawyers may disagree on this
point, as doctors do sometimes on profess
sional questions. but the old plan is not
likely to be restored.
