It might tend with other circum stances to prove carelessness, negli gence, but under all the circnm stances of this case, not to show a corrupi-and wicked purpose to derive personal benefit therefrom, or to in jure the public. There was no attempt to show bri bery, gain, or any understanding between the defendant and any other person about the bill, or to connect him with any suspicious cir cumstances relating to it. . We are, therefore, of the opinion that His Donor (Judge Mclver) wes in error in refasing to give to ti e jury the instruction asked by the de fendant that there was no evidence of corruption on his part. His charge was carefully delivered and fair to the defendant, and temperate and humane, ending with a caution which he deemed necessary, to-wit:" Much has been said about the im portance of this case and the great wrong which has been done the State, still, it is your duty to try this case as you would any other, and if you convict the defendant, it must be from the testimony alone.

Upon most careful consideration of the hole evidence, we are of the opin- tthatthe defendant ILsrownj was 'titled to the instruction, and that i Honor Judge Mclver should ve given it. Eight -witnesses, three for the State and five for the defendant, were examined. The testimony of two of the State's wit nesses and that of all the defend ants, (witnesses) is without the least trace of inculpating matter, either taken singly or in connection with all the evidence in the case. In fact upon the whole evidence, with the exception of that of the witness for the State (Miss Branson) there was not one particle, either direct or cir cumstantial, going to show that the defendant ever had any knowledge or information of any kind concern ing the existence of the bill until long after the legislature adjjurned. Leaving out her testimcny there is not a scintilla of proof that the de fendant ever saw tbe bill, either in the original or in the enrolled copy until it was found in the old library among tabled bills by the witness Ellington who was the State Libra rian, after the legislature had ad journed. Whatever testimony there was unfavorable to the defendant is embraced in that of Miss Branson. She testified that she got the bill, to l make a copy of it, from the defend ' ant or one of the clerks on the last lay of the session; that she kept it 1st that pnrpose for two or three hours and then returned it to the de fendant and read it over to him, sev (S ablished iu Ottumwa immediately as a result of McKinley'a election. As a matter of fact, it has only been established on paper, and there is no probability of its becoming es tablished in fact. I also read that another one of our factories will add two stories to its buildings, as a re sult of McKinley's election. The truth is that it will be impossible to add half a story to its building with out crushing all the walls. All the factories which have been opened since the election were closed for folitical effect and nothing else. I notice the papers say nothing about the reduction in pay and force.which have been made on many of the railroads since election. The Chicago & Alton, I understand, has made a cut of twenty per cent all around. We had the odium of four years of Cleveland's administration to over come. Then the tremendous influ ence of the money power; and the daily pres3 was against us.

His sole duty, that of presiding over a Senate in which he has no voice, and, sa ve in case of a tie, no vote, can be, and often for a long period is, dis charged by some Senator who is elected as President pro tem. The Vice-President is, not vested with the power of appointing the committees, since, unlike the Speaker of the House of Representatives, he is not chosen by the body over which he presides, and not inf rt quently is of a diffrent political party from the ma jority of the Senate. Thus being without power and practically without duties, the Vice Presidency offers few inducements to an able, auibitious man, and the nomination has often been refused. Thi has in very many instances, though not always, thrown the nom ination as a compliment to some man who would not by tbe sominat irg convention ba considered for a moment for the Pret-idency. Yet the Vice-President has th terrible potentially of succeeding to the Presidency in the event of a vacan cy. This condition has brought about some most inconvenient re sults. In 1810 John Tyler was nomi nate! to conciliate tho minority of the Whig party w'io differed widely on some ma-erial points from the great bulk of the party.

There is plenty of money, they say, it "conhdence" only be re stored. "Open the mills, not the mints," says that champion, Mr. McKinley.

It cannot be coaxed into circulation by loans on gilt edge short time pa per at a high rate of interest. Can the productive industry stand this extra interest leyied on them by tht banks for the privilege of getting money to do business on? Will they borrow it?

It is not necessary to prolong this review. While there have been a few Vice-Presidents who were pos sible nominees for the Presidency, the rule has been otherwise. As out "of nineteen Presidents so far elected, four have fallen in office, the ratio of succession f oi the Vice Presidency has been more than one in five, in fact, over 21 per cent. This opens up a serious danger, and some plan should be devised to make the Vice-Presidency more attractive to men of the first order, by adding 1 ! neaaquarierbi xne unicago papers to its dignity and powers. wuum itviku Biaiuuicuia wuicu we gave them, re-write them to suit their own purposes, and then quote us as authority for them. The fact is, that until West Vir ginia slipped away from us Bryan was elected. If McKinley had not carried West Virginia we would have saved both California and In diana for Bryan. We could prove frauds in both of these States suffi cient to carry them against McKin ley; but in the face of the result in West Virginia no good end could have been served by doing so. In Among the plans discussed, that of giving the Vice-President a voice and vote in the Senate would require constitutional amendment. Nor can it be expected that the Senate will amend its rules to confer on the Vice-President the important power of appointing committees which is possessed by the presiding officer of the House of Representatives, see ing, as already stated, the Vice-Pres- nS ident is not chosen by the benate and not infrequently belongs to a different political party from a ma- Mt ntViAva hninr in thfl room, to spa Wit was correctly copied; that there U of th .nnntiiTaJr. TnLri. for hority of that body V a great rusn uu cuuiuaiuu uu- instance, the Populist votes were not lueiD lo' uuw" 'n j Flag the last days of the session, counted for Mr. Bryan; and we will to make the Vice-President some- (Ur.

(i) itepuDticans must raise rev enue to fill a depleted treasury by some adjustment of the tariff, or in ternal revenue laws, outside of an income tax. Let it be remembered that a tariff of any kind, either for protection or revenue, is a duty levied on 1m ported goods. The treasury retorts show that imoortations under both the Me.Min ley and underTho Wilson bill have rapidly fallen off. Both bills are protective in their nature; the Wilson bill having only a few more articles on the free list than has the McKinley bill, and only 7 cent, lower in average rate than the McKin ley 0111. ine tramers ot any tariff measures must therefore ascertain the cause for fall on or importations, it no importations take place, no revenue from this source can be counted on. But our Republican friends claim that a tariff should be so protective in its Bature as to prohibit importa tions of foreign goods. "Let Amer icans produce all our own goods." The position of our Republican friends is therefore like the old Cal- vinistic theologj: You shall and you shan't, You will and you won't; You'll be damned if you do, And be damned if you don't. tunes.

"The remarkable showing in tie States whose electoral votes were needed to elect McKinley,1 said Senator Allen, speaking ot bit ac tion, "seems to me to warrant an in vestigation. I framed the resolution s as to include all parties, and I do not see how the Senate can refuse to pass it. The matter is attracting at tention all over tbe country. Tbe extract which I tent to the desk is but one of many, and certainly if there is a blot on the e lectio a it should be exposed and wiped out, or, at least, a wholesome warning given that the offense is not to be repeated."
