It is a Republican paper—the N. P. Press—that accuses Republican members of the N. Y. legislature of having accepted bribes. The same Carnegie that reduced the wages of his men under the McKinley bill, has increased th= wages of his men under the Wilson bill.

An export demand for manufactured products of the United States under the operations of the Wil i son bill, thus stimulating trade, i creasing our outputs, and caus-. ing tha employment of mure labor with increased compensation. One of the best evidences of the return of prosperity is noted by the Hartford Times, which says that to the bes of its knowledge an' : belief there is not in all New England todayore skilled mechanic who is out of work unless it be by his own choice. Just think of i‘! Wages were constantly being reduced under the McKinley tariff. Th i Wilßon low ta iff has not been in effect a year until both the protection champions, Carnegie and Jones, are forced by natural trade condi • tions to yiluntarjly increase wages. The libel suits filed against W. Bent Wilson, publisher of the Morning Journal, Lafavette, by Tyndale Palmer and a Mr. De Freitas, who demanded $50,000 each as damages for the pnblicas tion of a Philadelphia dispatch in Oct iber, 1892, were heard before Judge Taylor in Circuit Court.— The cases were decided in favor of the defendant, com t costs being assessed on the plaintiffs. A case has been decided in Char*iton, lowa, wherein Ihe publisher of the Herald of that place sought to compel the Board of Supervisors to pay extra for printing a re* port which included considerable tabular matter. The board refused to pay the bill, but the plaintiff recovered judgment in the lower court and it is sustained. The Court holds that the intent of the law in fixing the hne3 of brevier “or its equivalent'” as a square, was not a certain space, but the equivalent in cost of composition, etc., and it was shown that the cost of setting the tabular matter was three times that of the straight matter.

It is well to note that all the new stares that are clamorous for fiee silver are Republican states and that the Democrats have no representatives in congress from any of them. The Billion dollar congress sought to buy the electoral votes of all these states by passing a law agreeing to buy all the silver they could : roduce. After the election, when they found that the scheme had failed, John Sherman, Bops Reed, McKinley and Benjamin Harrison, who approved 'he “cowardly makeshift,” became clamorous fur the repeal of the law. It was repealed, but not nnul tne ne v system of protecting -ilver nnue owners had brough ruin and disaster upon the countn We predict that the next Republican congress, which convenes in December, will not make sucn another attempt to placate the mine owners. —Logansport Pharos i . When a ship is launched in this country, a bottle of wine is broken ou her prow. They have a prettier as well as a more significant custom m Japan, where a Cage of different kinds of birds is provided, and as the ship begins to move, the birds are liberated, flying to «11 parts of the compass, and typifying the nature of commerce f r better than a bottle of wine. Apple tree liee are? unusually numerous t is year and threaten to make serious inroads upon the apple crop.* Horticulturist Throop, 1 of Purdue University, says the Kerosene emulsion is the thing to use against the pest. It is made by dissolving one-half pound of hard soap in one gallon of hot wajer, after which add one gallon of kerosene or coal oil and mix thoroughly, by forcing the; mixture back into the same vessel bv means of a spraying pump, until it bec-mes a thick creamy mass. Dilute this with ten times it bulk of water before applying to the trees. The supreme court hag decided that the act of 1893, nhder which the telegraph companies were esse sed, is constitutional.
