that tariff revision can ever be

Democratic majority to the lower

the treasury deficit will begin to

Court has just decided in this
case that all the duties collected
on goods brought from the United
States to the Philippines, during
the period of military occupation,
from April IL, 1899, to March s,
1901, were illegal and must be re
funded to the importers. That
means that the United States will
have to pay back to the importers
sum estimated at $1,000, 900.
This money formed the revenue Of
the Philippines during the period
and was expended for administra
tive expenses as fast as received
and the United States will now
have to make good the loss. The
Government will apply to the
Court for rehearing of the case
which will postpone the day of
payment but little hope is express,
ed that the Court will reverse it.

Brengle Bond Case.

In the case Of the executors of
David M. Brengle, who are suing
Joshua j. Dill for the recovery of
$6, 200 of bonds which they allege
belong to the estate, his counsel
notified the plaintiffs counsel
that they would obey the courts
order Monday morning and pro-
duce the bonds for inspection and
for the purpose of verifying their
mum bers.
When the plaintiffs counsel
produced the order from Judge
McSherry, Monday, the 3rd inst,
to bring the bonds before the
examiner when wanted, counsel
for the defense objected and did
not bring them into court, alleg-
ing that it was an ex-parte order.
and they desired to be heard IN
the case before producing the
bonds.

Even this manifestly expensive
scheme pays-it is found cheaper
to run one large school than a
dozen small ones in a township, to
say nothing of the better quality
of education that is furnished.
The teachers get better pay, the
students learn more - and the
farmers save more money to put
in their banks, to increase their
power for dangerous economic ex-
perimentation.

FRIDAY, APRIL Il, 1905.

A Republican paper in Chi AZ ., says
the Philadelphia Record, calls atten-
ton to a change of 1S5, 600 votes in
that city since the national election.
The expression is not quite accurate;
there is change Of that amount in
maiorities, but not in the numler of
woes cast. Democrat won the city
election by about 24,0OO five morths
after Mr.. Roosevelt got a majority Of
II 600. But the change i, significant,
nevertheless. Considered in connec-
ton with heavy Democratic gains in
Missouri, Kansas. and Colorado cities,
and some Of the New York towns, 1t is
a pretty goud indication that the Re-
publican tidal wave r. which was
or. ally exaggerated At the time-is eb-
biug. and that the Democrats who

that a tree ever stood there, but
two old apple tree snags a little
way off suggest that all orchard
once upon time had occupied
the place. At the time the sol
diers of both armies had cut the
tree down, even digging up the
roots and carried it away, piece

soldier who said that he had got
some of the last chips which laid
around, and another who said he
carried off a good sized stick of
that same tree and tUted it upon
his shoulder until it grew so
heavy that he had to drop it.

THINKS KOCH SAFE
Senator Somerville Believes
Client VIII Be Acquitted

Senator George W. Somerville Of
Sleepy Eye, one of the counsel for Dr.
G. r. Koch, the New Ulm dentist
charged with the murder of DR.. l.. a.
Gerhard, left last night for Mankato,
where the second trial OF the accused
will begin today before Judge Lorin
Cray.
THE second trial of DR.. Koch we are
confident will result in his acquittal,"
said Senator Somerville yesterday.
The first trial was conducted at New
Ulm in the face of a strong public SEN
timent that presupposed our client
guilty of murder. There will be
noticeable absence of this feeling at
Mankato, and have no doubt that the
second trial will proceed without the
attempt TO convict DR.. Koch in adj
vance of his trial. We have discovered
since the last trial some additional ev-
idence. The nature of this | do not
care to discuss, but / am confident of
an acquittal instead of a disagreement
at this time.
AT the first trial the newspapers did
not give the accused any the best of
their reports and only last week we
were compelled to proceed against
New Ulm publisher for contempt of
court in commenting on the case
Judge Cray fined him $3.50 and gave a
strict warning to the publisher not to
repeat his offense."
