Paris, Aprii o.. The French gov
ernmonl decided yesterday TO erpeI
Cipriano Castro. the former presl-
dent of venezue a, from the French
island OF Martinique on the ground
that his presence there Is likely to
foment revolution IN Venezuela.
This decision followed considern-
tion of cablegram from Nj. Jusser-
and. the French ambassador at
Washington giving an account OF
his conference with Secretary VI
state Knox Wednesday. The decree
of expulsion will be communicated
to Castro Immediately through the
prefect of Fort ue France. where
Castro now Is.
IT is presumed here that the gov
ernment of the United States which
Initiated the exchanges with foreign
governments to prevent Castro from
establishing headquarters close to
the Venezuelan coast will prevent
him making his way to the MAIN
land on a sailing vessel.
This course will leave Castro the
alternative of taking refuge on one
of the Danish West Indian Islands,
or returning to Europe.

THE editor of the appeal to Reas on
says some things which to me seem
unwarranted; but he also tells
many a sad truth concerning con-
ditions governmental and social.
His position in the case wherein
he stands under Indictment is r.
rect, and his complaint is just. He
is about to appear in answer to
that Indictment, for the fifth time,
and claims that he has always been
ready for trial. With %pertinence
he asks the question:
Doesn't it strike you as a grave
Injustice when any person can be
indicted and held in the tolls OF
the law for two long, weary years
without trial or a hearing of any
kind-merely because the govern
ment's attorney is "not ready" OF
estoo busy" One of the excuses
given by Assistant Attorney West
for a postponement was that she
was only an understrapper" this
is his own words) and requested
the Judge to continue the case I'M

in the position of the woman
whose husband coming home in
the wee small hours of the night
protested that it was only eleven
O'Clock, and when she pointed TO
the clock that marked half past
three, exclaimed, "That's how
much you love your husband when
you believe an old three dollar
clock before you will him." AS
we said in the beginning we think
the term sucker is much too
harsh to be applied to our tiff
miners. They preferred to be-
lieye Mr.. Elvins rather than the
Independent and in doing so showed
greater loyalty than did the
woman who preferred to believe
the three dollar clock rather than
herihusband."

A BILL has been introduced into
congress to make the army a great
industrial training school, giving
instruction in scientific farming
and various trades. The bill seems
harmless enough, but it is really
an effort to enthrone the army as
the greatest factor in America.
Behind it is the fear that the work
ers will not enlist without special
inducements and ahead of it is the
possibility that capitalists will
after awhile employ no one but
soldiers.-Appeal to Reason.

SPEAKING, after the hearings, Of
the sort of testimony given before
the committee in charge of the
new tariff bill, during the recess
of Congress, Hon. Champ Clark
said:
81 say now if we had had the
power to swear witnesses before
Congress met and some of the men
had sworn the way they had testi-
fed before we got to swearing
witnesses, I would go before the
grand jury in the District OF
Columbia and have them indicted
for perjury. l want to tell you
some of the testimony. Two men
testified that zine,jaokNwas selling
for S35 a ton on the very day that
it sold for S43 a ton. How can you
believe men like that? They un-
dertook to show that zinc ore
could be produced in Mexico and
gotten to the smelter in Kansas
and Missouri cheaper than the Jop'
lin zinc could be produced. 1t is
a curious story to tell, but one mar
had the colossal cheek to testify
that four Mexican steers, which
are not bigger than your fist anc
will not weigh over 700 pounds
could pull a bigger load up thu
mountains and down the noun
tains and through the sand thar
two of the biggest and best mules
in the State of Missouri could pull
on a gravel road as level as a floor
The Chairman referred to tina
yesterday, and it was just sucl
monumental lying as that tina
disguised everybody with thes'
two men and with a good many
others who appeared before thi
committee"

PoTosI Independent: "The IRON
COUNTY REGISTER calls the con-
fiding miners of Washington
County, who voted for Elvins on
account of his promise to place a
tariff on tiff, suckers This term
we think is a shade harsh. There
is some excuse for their conduct.
Mr.. Elvins is a nice, smooth, well
laundried young man who told
them with tears in his eyes that he
would be a fountain Of prosperity
to them if elected, that he would
have a tariff placed on tiff SO am
pie that the wolf that howled at
their doors would scuttle across
the Canadian line as swiftly as If
he had a shotted bladder tied to
his tail. To the promises OF Mr..
Elvins were added the endorse
ment of MI. Rhodes who had been
q nod carrier in building the tiff
tariff wall. How were the tiff
miners of Washington County to
know that these men, with every
sign of benevolent emotion, were
playing them for their own thrift
How could they know that Mr..
Elvins would not be able to come
across with the goods? True the
Independent warned them that the
predatory interests that formulate
tariff bills and who use tiff tx
adulterate their product would
never consent to have the price o
the article with which they cheap
ened their goods raised by tarif
schedule-but the Independent il

which 1t is the duty Of every goot
Republican to disbelieve. The.

makes an even million from sheep
alone. Cattle and horses bring in
another half million yearly, making
the grand total in the live stock in
