The Commercial West, speaking of
financing the crops, says: 1.-The
month of August usually ushers in
the crop-moving season, and with it
the preparations for financing it. On
account of the lateness of the crop
season this year, however, very little
of the new crop will start for market
until September and the movement
will not be general until October.
Moreover, by reason of the prosper
Gus condition of northwestern farm
ers, there probably will be less rush
this season to get the crop to market;
and the prospect of good future prices
will cause a large percentage of the
grain to be held over through the
winter ~

Aheht the trust prosecutions Alto

AAeht the trust prosecutions Attor-
ney Geheral Bonaparte says in part:
II have noticed a good many COM
plants that criminal prosecutions
against trust magnates ana sentences
OF Imprisonment for them have been
very infrequeht, and,- in fact, for
practical purposes, unknown. It is
perfectly true that, in my opinion at
least, better moral effect would be
produced by sending few prominent
men to jail than by great deal of
litigation, however successful against
tho enpoaeations they controlled.N \
The U o n has contended from the
very inception of these so-called trust
prosecutions that the proper way to
mete out justice would be to jail the
principal offenders, as suggested, OF
advocated by Mr.. Bonaparte.

Example Would Be Stimulating,
The Review would like to see some
OF the big bugs who get up and run
the trusts called to account before a.
court by indictment. Filming rich
corporation as was done last week is
worse than whistling in the wind.
There must have been some of the
company officials cognizant of the
whole deal for which the corporation
is fined, and if so, it is hard to un-
derstand why they should not walk
in the direction of the penitentiary.
IN turkey the whole bunch would lose

Would His Honor Oblige?

The late Thomas Nolan, a we'll
known member of the bar of New
York, was once retained as counsel
for a poor widow named Mulcahy,
says the Philadelphia Ledger. She
was suing a construction company
for damages by reason of her hus-
bands death, resulting from injuries
sustained in the company's service.
The case had been frequently post
poned, so that it was in very dis
turbed state of mind that the widow
sought the lawyer just before the
suit came up for the eight time.
In court the next day Nolan's rich
brogue was more than usually fervid
as he fought against the further ad-
journment Of the case.
~ am sorry" said the justice pre-
siding, "but, Mr.. Nolan, your op-
ponent has shown good cause for ad-
journment. The case will therefore
go over till next week"
Very well, sor," said the lawyer
sweetly, but might I ask wan person
al favor-r of this court?"
Certainly" replied the judge.
"Win your honor kindly shtep down
to my office and tell Mrs. Mulcahy
that you have again adjourned the
case"

A Saved Mexican.

A remarkable instance Of the impair
tial administration of justice is said tc
have occurred some years ago in a
court in a southwestern state, when q
young Mexican charged with having
stolen a pistol was arraigned. he
proved beyond all doubt that the pis-
tol was his own and that it had beer
in his possession long before the al
legged theft occurred.
The case went to the jury at l.
o'clock, the usual hour of adjournment
and the jury. who did not wish to be
kept until the court opened again at
3 O'Clock hurried to give in their ver-
diet
The foreman who had been reclining
in a peaceful attitude suggestive OF
slumber during the hearing, turned tc
his companions, saying:
What do you think, boys? Hadn't
we better give him two years."
"All right" responded ore of the
Jurors. Put him through or the
Judge will adjourn"
GO ahead" said another I'VE don't
want to stay here till o'clock. Hur-
ry up"
But is he guilty." inquired 9
thoughtful old chap.
We'll, WELL" exclaimed the foreman
after a stare of astOnishment at this
view of the matter, IF you think ne
amt guilty, let's clear him."
A verdict of mot guilty" was speed
lily rendered and the jurymen cheer
fully repaired to the noOntide meal
