charged with stealing $275 was brought
un betore the court for trial, and the man
who lost the money went on the stand
to testify, when It appeared from his own
admission that he had told widely con
flicting stories about the amouht of money
he had lost. To one he told he bad lost,
$600, to another $375, to anolner he said
he had lost $175 and finally had Crowder
arrested for stealing $175. The police
man who saw a man leaving the room
when the money was aaid to have been
stolen when called to the stand said he
would recognize the man if he should see
him . George Crowder being pointed out
to him, he said he was not the man. The
court then ordered Crowder discharged
without calling any of hit witnesses.
These are the facts as given us by Mr
Salomon Crowder who was present at the
trial.

down by Fryer and Kelsey. On Monday
a number of hnnteis at a pa to, among
them Tbeo Hauswirth.nf North Yamhill,
killed another large ball, having six
prongs on one horn and seven on the
other. Tbe strange thing in it is that
the elk should be down in the valley at
this season of the year. The settlements
en the Traak in aaid by some to be tbe
cause of It as elk will not stay within

were probably on their way to the Cas

Some exact figures may be interesting.
Tbe raw wool imports for tbe fiscal year
1891 amounted to i29.303.648 pounds; for
1 892 tbe figures are 148.670,652, an increase
of i9.367.O04 tbe effect of a law that was
matsnt to stop imports. The revenue from
this source, which were expected to fall
away, actually Increased about SO per cent.
Mayor Sargent, just re-elected mayorfat
New Haven, Conn, by neariyJltOO plurality,
is the most awful "free trader' in 'hat city.
Mr Sargent employs about 3000 persons ia
his factories, but be is really a perfectly
awful '-free trader." and it it strange what
tbe people of New Haven ware thinking of
to re-elect him.
North Ihtkota will this year present an
anomaly in the electoral college. Hamtoo,
Cleveland and Weaver sail! each receive one
vote. The state board of canvassers baa
declared Wamberg. republican, elected by
eight majority ; Williams; fusion, by 14
majority, and RoodetvedL fusion, by HI
majority. The first named will vote for
Harrison, tbe second for Weaver and tbe
last lor Cleveland.
Here is the wool ditty, for exnmp'-e. The
XL Kin ley tax on raw wools was avowedly
intended to stop their importation, so that
tbe American wool-grower might get a
higher price for his product. It was on
that proposition that "the sheep voted."
Yet tbe figures show that under this law
the importatious of wool have actually and
largely increased, while the price to the
American grower has gone down. Per
haps that is one reason why tbe sheep have
taken to voting tbe other way.
A dispatch from Topeka, Kansas, says:
The democratic ieadersfrom all parts of
the stale are here to attend a meeting of
tbe democratic central commt'tee to decide
a senatorial uoestion. Numerous candi
dates are in the field, but John Martin
seems to have a lead which is hard to
overcome, the belief being be can best
unite all member of toe party. Vv ith tbe
aid of one democrat, tbe populists can elect
a senator, and Senator O Brien, though a
straight democrat, makes it- impossible to
elect any democrat other than a fusionUt
ar.d populist. The caucus trill decide wno
that fastonist will be.
Tbe Golconda Hmld EnXnpiiu cannot
believe the evidence of i's senses tinoe Illi
nois went overwhelmingly for the dotnoc
racy, and like several other republican
ttapers, it assumes to speak 'or the democ
racv. It says:
Of coarse the democratic party was not
in earnest, and does not expect to carry out
the pledges of its platform, but there are
some manufacturer w jo are disposed to
believe that they will give tbe country what
they promised free trade. On this ac
count all the iron mills at Joliet will shut
down the first of tbe year, and will be kept
closed until it is made plain what the dem
ocratic con grew proposes to do about the
tariff . This will throw 3000 men out of em
ployment for an indefinite time.
It may relieve our Golconda neighbor to
say that tbe 'democratic papers and the
democratic public men alone have the right
to speak for the democratic party, and we
have yet to see an utterance, either by the
lemocratic press or by democratic members
of congress, which does not demand the
fulfillment ef every pledge to the letter.
Even the so called protection democrats
have discovered the way the wind blows
and are trimming their sails to catch it
As to the declaration that the Joilet mills
will close down on January 1, that may or
may not be true. But it is a fact of great
significance that the mil's of Rhode Island
have advanced the wages of their employes
7 per cent since the election of Grover
Cleveland.
They Sever rail.

WASHINGTON I.KITgit.
(From our rwrutar somMpondtni,)
Washington, Dec i'2, 1802.
President-elect Cleveland's Reform Club
speech gave great satisfaction to tbe demo
crats in congress, but so mu:h cannot be
said for tbe misunderstanding, not to call
it slight to Speaker Crisp at the hands of
the managers of the banquet. If Speaker
Crisp had not been wanted be should not
have been asked. He occupies today tbe
highest official position controlled by tbe
democratic party, and no matter whether
one agrees with all his views or not be is
entitled to respect and consideration from
every democrat. Democrats who opposed
Mr Crisp's election to the speakership of
the present house, and who will oppose his
election to the speakership of the next bouse
are outspoken in their denunciation of the
mismanagement which allowed Mr Crisp
to furnish the pre with copies of h;
speech and then did not give hi in an op
portunity to deliver it. They regard it as
a slight to bis ofliciai position and no . to
him personally.
Senator Vooihees. whose political wisdom
teeth were cut somj years ago, rightly
characterizes ths idea that the republicans
really wish to see the democrats control tbe
senate of the Fifty third congress, at ab
surd. Said be: "tbe idea that the repub
licans will stand back or give in an inch is
as ridiculous as tbe story that the demo
crats are afraid to meet the issue and
organize the senate, and the last is an
insult to tbe intelligence of ever' demo
crat. We will assume all responsibility
and we are ready to begin tomorrow if
need be. The democratic party can be
dtspended upon to do two things remove
the nnjest burdens ot taxation from the
sssarie of life and provide the neces
sary revenue for tbe government. Ine,
republicans are prone to talk of our mis
take. We may have made mistakes but
theirs have been Crimea."
It ia now certain that wben Senator Hale
made that public stolen sunt about his and
other republicans wishing to see the dem
ocrats control tbe senate his intention was,
to throw the democrats off their guard in
order that a deep laid republican
might be carried out to defeat the will
the people by po.xhasing votes enough
of
in
certain state iegislatoxes to retain control
of the senate and enable the protected
miliionaires to continue to pocket their
exorbitant profits. Tbe tx&eners. among
whom are such experts aa Clark ton. Man ley
and Ettee, met in Washington and their
meetings were attended by millionaires
Alger and Pullman, srho, it is supposed,
are the purse holders for the ring which
waste to buy. some mora protection
Little things count up. Tbe bouse com
mittee on appropriations in its work of
preparing tbe sundry civil appropriation
bill has discovered that tbe eight hoar law
passed at the last session will increase the
sapeodi tares of the government about to
per cent.

Representative Scott's bill prohibiting the
employment of apprentices in that office.
Mr Scott says only journeymen should be
ployed by the government; that boys
who wish to learn to be printers and
men should do so in private (tsshlish meats,
and that his bill will pass.
It has been about decidstd to botd a joint
cane us of tbe democrats m the house and
ate in a few days for the purpose of
mapping out just what business, exclusive
of appropriation hills, shall be taken op a
this session.
Representative Geary of California, tbe
author of tbe present anti-Chin ete 1
which the treasury officials say will no t
work, has his fighting blood up. and some
body may catch it very soon. He says that
the law can easily be enforced and that to
talk of repealing it without having really
tried to enforce it, as the bill introduced
by Representative Andrews, of Massachus
etts, provides, is simply cowardice, and
will be so regarded by the whole world .
A poll of the boose and senate shows a
majority in fav jr of the restriction of im
migration in some way at this session, bot
an agreement has yet to be reached upon
the best method of doing it, although the
one years suspension appears to be the
favorite method.
Senator Teller says the silver men will
oppose the repeal of tbe present salver law
until a substitute that it better is provided.
