REFERRING 10 suggestions that Mr.. Iilden
might be suitable candidate for the Demo-
Garlic party to put forward again, in the con-
test for the presidency, the New York World
says;
''These hopes, though entitled to respect,
are unreasonable Mr.. Tilden will never
be nominated. He declined the presidency
in 1876, when the Office was placed in his
hands. He declined n second nomination In
1880 on the score of health. Why, then, at
the ope of seventy, should he seek it in
1881 Mr.. Tilden is Il splendid reminis-
cence. He il a political sentiment. But he
is not II substance. His history is in the
past. His future is in the past"
Leading Democrats may differ much as to
the proper choice of presidential candi-
date, but it will surprise the intelligent and
well-nformed of the party to find leading
party organ making the rash and untenable
assertion that the Office was placed in MIR.
'rildens hands, Had he done so, and given
it to Mr. Hayes, he would be anything rath-
er than splendid "Reminiscences. Mr. Ill
den could not have taken the presidency,
after what Congress did, without revolution.
Il the World as ill-informed regarding his
torical facts Us it is fippant in seeking to
whistle away the fame of one of the most
distinguished leaders and patriots the
Democratic party ever produced? If this is
the outcome Of organising under present
conditions of journalism, it may be peril
nent for party men to inquire whether Or
gauship is not grievous infection upon the
Uarty. GdkcestOn NeDs.

Autobiography.

INDIANAPOLIS, June An anti-monopo-
Is conference of about thirty members,
representing each congressional district in
tue state, was held here yesterday afternoon.
Representatives of the greenback party
largely predominated. j. X Speere editor
of the Indianapolis Sun, greenbacker, pre-
sided The following resolutions were
adopted:
|. That natural rights of men constitute
tie basis of anti-monopoly movements.
The time has now come for au emphatic and
practical assertion of these rights by oil de-
partmeuts of the government. The aboG-
ton of negro slavery, which was only one
form of servtude. was the natural prelude
10 emancipation from all forms of slavery
growing out of the legalized robbery of the
public domain; the power of concentrating
capital with labor-saving machinery, or the
dominance Of corporate wealth In control of
currency.
=. Perpetual debt is a perpetual curse
which demands prompt payment Of the
public debt.
3. No purpose of the anti-monopoly
movement is to aid either the Democratic or
Republican parties, but defeat them both,
believing them wholly incapable of reform
aud hopelessly under the control of concen-
t.tted capital and corporations. The pur-
pose Of the movement is to take possession
of the government and administer it for the
protection of the rights aud interests of tue
whole people.
{. In order to distribute the burdens of
taxation among the citizens in proportion to
tneir ability to pay, aud prevent the accumu-
lAtion of wealth in the hands of the few,

BREwER.-Ihe La Sale Press, now thai
the election cases have been decided by
Judge Stipp, takes it all back-the cruel
things IL said about States Attorney Brewer,
and SAWS: "Reccnt events have demonstrated
that Mr.. Brewer has the ability and the de-
termination to do his duty to the public, as
we have it from the very best authority that
in the cases Of that devilish triumvirate-
Price, Russell and Hously-which have been
before the circuit court this week, he has Ia
bored with the most untiring zeal to bring
these villains to punishment. lie has
worked their cases up in the most systematic
manner, collected every link Of evidence and
woven a chain around them which will result
in making them understand at last that the
way OF the trans gressor is hard. II these in
human monsters do not receive merted pun
ishment for their crimes, and society be for
ever freed from their accursed presence, 1t
will not be Nr. Brewers fault. 1t certainly
affords us pleasure to accord to Mr.. Brewer
the credit TO which he is justly entitled for
the energy he has displayed in Indicating
the law, and the people will remember it as
one instance at least in which they have no
reason to complain of "the laws delay" SC

THE COZ RTS.
The CIrcuiL Court.


The committee, of the Ottawa bar, on
memorial to Mrs. Judge McRoberts, reported
the following, which was adopted;
The members OF the Bar Of La Sale coun-
ty IN public meeting assembled, Obcying u
spontaneous impulse In conveying to Judge
Mckoberts an expression of their sincere
sympathy in the great bereavement he has
sustained by the death of a beloved wife,
cherished and respected in every relation Of
life, and while recognizing how unavaling is
human consolation in such an hour, tender
their earnest coincidence, and hereby express
their deeply felt sorrow for the loss, TO them
of an cstimable member of society, an en-
deared and honored geutlewoman; TO their
friend of one, who, with him alone, divided
the great memories of life.
Henry Price, whose examination before
Judge stipp on Thursday was noted in last
saturdays FREE TRADER, was brought into
court on Monday morning. His counsel
called several witnesses, men from La Sale,
who testified that they had seen the prisoner
on the day OF the assault, and that he had
evidently been drinking, one Of the witnesses
swearing that he Price, was actually ntoxi-
Gated. On behalf Of the prosecuting witness
Mr.. Bull addressed the court and endeavored
to show the cnormity OF the crime, and the
need Of a warning example TO restrain others
frcm like attempt. He referred to the ne.
cessity OF inilicting a penalty as severe as the
statutes provide, because there could be no
more aggravated case than the one before
the bar. Mr.. Blake, on behalf OF the prison.
er, plead for mercy, saying that the law does
not desire vengeance, and provides impr,on-
ment only that the confinement might work
a moral benefit. A long term of years TO
Price would be 10 turn him out hardened
criminal; while n short term might mean
reformation. Mr.. Blake's summing up of
the case was strong-as strong in fact ss the
case would warrant He was followed by
Mr.. Brewer, on behalf of the people, who
asked for full fourteen years sentence.
Judge Stipp then reviewed the facts and said,
while the case before him was one OF the
most aggravating that could occur, II was
not The most aggravating one, for had the
person assaulted been q girl and less able to
defend herself than was Mrs. siyder, or had
the prisoner been entirely free from the intiu.

Law Breakers.

There has been d party Of glass blowers
encamped on Fox River at Dayton .or the
last two months, who persist in violating
the fish law by fishing with net just be
low the dam. If farmers were to do the
same thing, all the inhabitants of the vii
lage of Dayton would be up in arms, as
they were a year ago about Cyrus Dsboli.
Another set OF law and Sabbath breakers
are the base ball players who have been in
the habit of playing on the Sabbath for the
past year, and have of late been having
match games. Last Sunday they played
in the north end Of the township Of. Rut-
land, five being represented. Such day
ofrevelry as was passed never before hap
pened in this part of the county, and Is a
disgrace to the whole country. Bottles
were handed around freely and boys
scarcely out of their teens reeling about
like old topers. We are glad to say that
the club known as the Milliken club was
not there; they have quit playing on Sun
day we are told, and their parents, friends
and the community congratulate them on
their good resolution.
Enough for the present. II these sun
day base ball matches continue, more mus,
be said in the future, and names and place:
given. GRANGER.
