The arguments were concluded az sos
D. m. Judge Watson had the jury exercis-
ed in the open air for 10 minutes or so.
When the prisoner also was given a

resumed his seat on the. bar.

Judge Watson briefly delivered the case
to the jury, which retired at 5:2S p. m.
The ocurt informed them that If they

Now the president Is criticised for
negotiating with Canada for reciproc-
lily after the country had set the seal
OF disapproval upon the Republican
tarin revision. In November, he is
told. the country transferred the task
or remedying tariff defects to the
Democratic party. Why should he have
butted In and complicated matters =?
Why not have waited until the proper
Time, and then have sent to the new
congress his recommendation on the
tarin subject, leaving IL to the Demo
cratic house TO make such response as
1t might choose?
But the country did not in Noyem.

ocratic party. II did not--maybe be-
cause 1t could not-put that party in

and registered its disapproval by elect.

by that act halt all tariff efforts until

i've. The president remained I'm Office
