IDAHO CASE.

The testimony in the Idaho case
is conflicting. But one conviction
comes clear and clean to those who
have followed its devious wanderings
and marked the sensational testi-
mony in the trial of Pettibone. And
that is that Idaho is preparing to
deal even and exact justice to the
accused. So far as one may deter
mine at this distance impartality in
the conduct Of the trial has been its
distinguishing characteristic. Not
breath of scandal i'm plicaung those
who duty it is TO enforce the laws
has been borne from the scene of the
trial either on the wind of fact or
rumor. Justice has leaned neither
to the one way or the other. Idaho
officials and citizens ground between
the upper and neither millstones of
infamed, bitter and arbitrary public
sentiment have apparently brought
clean hands and fair and honest
minds to task which breeds parti-
sanship as naturally as rabbit
breeds its young.
AS to the merits of the case, the
testimony of the innocent bystanders
as it has found its way into the pub
lie prints, indicates that both sides
to the controversy have been to
blame. Capital as is the way to
capital, was despotic and arbitrary,
Labor was violent, bitter and stopped
at no crime to achiexe its ends.
Whatever the verdict of the jury,
the confession of Harry Orchard
will stand as one of the most re-
markable human documents of this
Or any other time. Orchard may
have lied. Nobody knows except
hose incriminated by his testimony.
But the revelations made the State
n the testimony offered so far in re-
outtal goes to indicate that there
las also been wholesale perjury on
he part of the defense. The jury
itting on Haywood's life and liber-
y has a herculean task before it. {
?iecing together the shreds of truth
rom the mass of verbage given on
witness stand is work the like of
which no other criminal court jury
las encountered in recent time.

TARIFF.

Ten years of the DINGHY Tariff
forms record that speaks for Itself.
The fiscal year that ends with next
month will show a surplus of about
$40, 900, 900. This comes at time
when the government is engaged In
more large enterprises than ever be-
fore. 1t is building the Panama
Canal. is devoting the proceeds of
land sales in the arid region to irri-
patlon, and at the last session of
Congress appropriated $4,000, 900
for river and harbor improvement.
Yet, for the last ten months the
treasury surplus has averaged $50
600, 900 month. lmportatlons
are unusually heavy, but the in
crease is largely in foreign materials
thst enter into American manufac-
lures, the exports of which far ex-
coed the former amount. For sew
eral years the foreign trade of the
United States has been at the high
est mark. The demand for labor
outstrips the supply. Immigrants
have been coming in at the rate of
l, 900, 900 year, and this average
will be much increased in 1907.
Railroads are crowded with business
and are in their most profitable era.
Farm productions have been bring
ing good prices, and their value last
year approached 81, ooo, 900, 900.
1t is needless to go into the de-
tails of the contrast of the business
situation ten years ago, when Con
gress met in special session and
passed the Dingley Tariff, a meas
ure based on the Protective policy,
which was thus restored as leading
economic feature in conducting the
business of the people and of the
government shaped by their ballots. |
The Tariff law then matured, and
still in force, had the benefit of the
knowledge and wise judgment of
William Mckinley and Nelson
Dingley, both of whom have passed
away, but their works live after
them. Neither they nor any who
deal understandingly with such mat
ters put forward the claim that any
particular schedule is sacred and
immutable, but they held, as the
Party has held in the
past and holds now, that the Protec-
ton of American industries is neces-
sary to the welfare of the people,
with their high standards of living
and enterprise. A ten years dem
onstratlon is before the country.
All that was promised by the Re.
publican Party in 1896 has been
realized, and much more. Prosper
ty has far surpassed any Of the esti-
mates.
Yet it is certain that the Demo-
ratio platform Of next year w''I de-

 The pressure brought to bear on Colonel N. c. .Winn by his supporters since the election for contest has been very great, but for several days he hesitated to respond to their de- mands

 Hon. Henry F. Reese. State Senator from Dallas county. has been employ ed to conduct the contest, and has spent the past few days in this city conferring with citizens in reference to the contest.
 There Is much speculation, and prob- ably fear, as to what extent the con- test will effect the result of the elec- tion. Of the eighty votes to be con- sidered at the contest, it is known that they are divided between Colonel Winn and MT. Meriwether. but in what proportion is matter on which opinions widely differ.
 MT. Meriwether's majority over Col Onel Winn was only eighteen votes, and the majorities of those nominated for councilmen were all very small--- one to ten votes-except that of W. s. Prout whose vote was 222 out of a total of 332, and W. M. Tucker. who received 202.
 Yesterday and today quarterly con- ference was held at the Methodist Church In this city. Large congrega. tions were present at both services yesterday.

 Auspicious Circumstances.
 Prattville, Feb. Is.--tSpecial. )- Miss Mary Ellen Graham gave a bril- liant Valentine party to her guest, Miss Margaret Brown of Opelika. last Thursday evening. It was one of the most enjoyable occasions that has been witnessed in this place for the past few years. Nearly all the young people of the town were present and participated in the joys of the occa- sion.
 There has been an effort made here for more than two years looking to- wards the organization of Y. M. c. A. for Prattville. The effort was first made to buy a lot and build suit able for the purpose, but serious draw backs were encountered along that line, and last fall the leaders in this thought leased a building and pro- ceeded to organize for the present and conduct the services and, work, of the Association in this leased building.
 There Is today very satisfactory membership here, and is growing all the time. The building has been rem ovated and fully equipped for the work of the Association, and was ded- icated yesterday afternoon at 3 o'clock.
 Many addresses were made by the local ministers, besides two visiting ministers. The Association of Pratt vile enters the field for good to the young men with bright prospects. For the present at least their quar- ters in the Hagler building on Main street are ample for all their needs. It is expected at some day in the fu- ture they will build at a suitable place of their own.

Half the beauty of spanish women's eyes lies in their peculiar gift of half closing them, conveying at will, by fine gradations of the same act, either ianguorous love. fascinat@ ing invitation or whitening fury.
