Of Madison county on brutal
and felonious charge and drag

Court for trial, when there was
not scintilla of evidence on

and Attorney General Howard
stated to the jury, before the
case was dismissed on a verdict
from the box directed by the
Court itself, that he knew moth
ing about the indictment having
been found; and that q mistake
was made in finding it,"
Certainly there was not "a
scintilla Of evidence" against
Messrs. Hunt, Neff and Price
in the court trial. Not even that
on which the grand jury found
the indictment, was produced in
the court. 1t was not even shown
that S. H. Nef was o candidate
in the Novembe election-in
fact, the trial in the Circuit
court, as we see it, was a farce.

American consuls report that manu-

take trouble to seek foreign trade.
Thew will not make long campaigns
for oversee commerce, as do English
French and Germans.
One reason for this condition Is not
far to seek. A large part OF Amer

competition abroad. During the last
campaign Louis Brandeis published
figures showing that most trusts pa.

the necessity of thoroughly repairing
