WONDER OF WONDERS.
Ohio Politics all Torn Up!
A Democratic Judge Remands a Dem
ocratic Politician to Custody.

The politics of Ohio are all torn
up over the decision of Judge
Wiley in remanding Dan. Dalton,
of election fraud fame, to the GUS
tody of the Senate which held him
for contempt in refusing to "dis-
gorge" in the investigation. That
a Democratic Judge in the State of
Ohio should decide against Dem
ocrat in political matter, seems to
strike Ohio politicians with amaze
ment and CONSERVATION. They
have been 80 accustomed to Demo
cratic decisions from Dem ocrats
and Republican decisions from
Republicans, that they really con-
slider Judge Wiley's decision as ev-
idence OF his insanity.
And the Republicans were no
less astonished than the Democrats,
as both parties in that see-saw
State between two great whisky
parties, have, from some cause,
generally felt sure of partisan de-
cisions from partisan judges.
We are not fully advised in the
premises, but it is possible the expla-
nation of this new departure may
be found in the fact that there's
some honest Prohibition blood in
Judge Wiley. Blood wiU TELL

"Chinaman Must GO'-s'Melican
Man" Must Go, too.

While our Government is quiet
ly allowing all manner Of indigni-
ties and cruelties against the Chi
nese on the Pacific Coast, and APP
parently enjoying the cry, "The
Chinamom mast co." the Chinese
Government is proposing to retail
late, by saying to all Americans in
the Chinese Empire, "Melicao man
must go|
And what can this country of
free institutions say, if every
American is driven out of China at
the bayonet's point?
If Cinnamon, when they come
here, would take out naturalization
papers, open saloons, drink whis-
ky, vote the Democratic or Repub-
lican tickets, stuff ballot boxes and
all that, they would at once find
security for their rights, and a way
open to political power.
What a comment on our boosted
civilization, that citizens of for
eign country should be publicly
invited to this glorious "Land of
the Free and Home of the Brave"
and then be driven. from our shores
for no other fault than working
faithfully for such wages as they
can get, and saving their money!
We suggest that China send US
some missionaries.

Protection from our Protectors.

1t is certainly strange anomaly,
that under the best Government
the sun ever shone on, the good
people are compelled to seek pro-
lection from their legal protectors.
But that such is the case in ma
ny cities OF our country, is bscom-
ing as notorious as it is anomalous
and shameful.
In Cincinnati and Chicago the
policemen are VIGOROUSLY the ma
nipulators of election frauds, the
partners in gambling dens and the
protectors of resorts of debauchery
and infamy, rather than the pro-
tectors of society.
And in New York, last week,
two policemen named McInerney
and Mcdonald, were sent to the
penitentiary 12a years and 1Oa
years, respectively, for the crime of
highway robbery.
That this lamentable state of af-
fairs is the legitimate fruit and
outgrowth of the corrupt and de-
moralizing saloon system, is patent
to all intelligent observers.
The saloon for it's own protection,
must control the police, and as the
saloon is a robber, it will have men
of its own kind to play the farce of
Matching 1t.
The only hope of the country
lies in the utter overthrow of the
barbarous system, and the Danish
ment OF the highway robbers that
manage and get their living by it.
The saloon must goi

Judge Brewer Decides Too Much.
Telephone and Slaughter House Cases

Judge Brewer of Kansas, has
delighted all liquordom with his
decision that the State must pay
for all depreciation OF brewery and
distillery property, rendered USE
less by the prohibitory law. The
Judge rightly held that the State
could utterly prohibit the traffic,
In this he was in accord with
numerous decisions of the Supreme
Court of the United States; but as
to the matter of compensation, ne
decides too much, and will not be
upheld by the Supreme Court.
The Telephone case just decided
by the Supreme Court of In LLAMA
involves the same principle. The
Legislature of Indiana passed an
act limiting the charges for use of
telephone to SO per month. The
com panies were charging IS, and
claimed, if they were limited to So,
that they would be compelled to
quit business and lose all their
telephone property in the State.
The case was carried 70 the Su
preme Court, which has just decided
that the Legislature has the right
to regulate any business essentially
public in its nature, declaring the
law fixing maximum rate at So to
be valid.
And now will Judge Brewer hold
that the State must pay for all
telephone investments?
We guess the claims of the COM
panies against the State of Indiana
will be worth about as much in the
market as the claims of the brew
ers against the State of Kansas
simply nothing.
But the principle involved was
directly decided in the celebrated
Louisiana Slaughter-house cases.
The Legislature of Louisiana,
for the purpose of regulating the
slaughtering business in New Or
leans, SO as to preserve the health
of the city, by one sweeping act
created an immense corporation,
giving to it the exclusive privilege
of importing and Strengthening
cattle for the New Orleans market,
making it unlawful for others to
carry on the business. Numerous
firms and individuals with money
invested and property being used
in butchering, brought suits for
damages. The cases went to the Su-
preme Court of the United States
and were decided adversely to the
plaintiffs; the court holding the
act to be police measure for the
preservation of health, and that

Revenue from Oleomarear,ne.

Washington, Nov. 10-The oleomarga-
r.ne law has been in operation one week.
The results thus far are a surprise to the
officials Of the government, and will be q
disappointment to the butter men who
were the original promoters Of the bill.
Inc Internal revenue officials are
astonished at the large amount OF
avenue which the government is likeiy
to receive from the law. The eturns
OF the first week have not all been tele-
graphed to Washington, and the com.
plete returns will not be received in the
ordinary coarse Of business for the FIRST
month until early in December, hui
according to the receipts of which the
internal revenue bureau has knowledge
the income 60 the government from tax
on Oleomargarine for the full fiscal wear
will not be less than $1,000, 600, and is
most likely to amount to 81, 500. 600.
The question which was SO much dis
cussed III congress-, therefore, whether
the oleomurgarine bill was q evenue
bill or not, cannot again be raised.
Init revenue is moreover nearly all of it
net venue to the government, for con-
gress appropriated only $4,000 to put
the law in operation. and that is all
that can be expended for the remaining
eight months OF the present fiscal year,
unless congress sh II make some ad-
ditional appropriation this winter as a
deficiency.

CARLISLE and the sneakersh,n.

VI
Washington, Nov. 10-Mr. Carlisle is
reported as saying thas there IS nothing
in the dispatch from Cincinnati which
states that he is 80 disappointed at the
reduction of HE majority that he con.
templates sot attempting to take his
seat IN ice fiftieth congress. 1t is eyi-
dentSfhat he will take his eeat, and thai
re democrats will present him as their
candidate for speaker. The democratic
leaders are already beginning TO explain
that it will be quite proper to elect
Carlisle, even ii his seat shall be con-
tested. although they admit that they
know OF no precedent, for such a course.
Representative Weilborne OF Texas is
one of the best parliamentarians on the
democratic side, and is often chosen by
gaflisle rs temporary presiding officer.
Here is what he says:
The committee on elections or any
other committee can be appointed by
the house, not by the speaker. Rnle 10
of the house reads: unless other
wise specially ordered by the house, the
speaker shall appoint, at the coramepee-
ment OF each congress, the following
standing committees. The list includes
the committee on elections aud all the
standing committees of the house
From this rule it is obvious that the
house has the ultimate power oil appoint
ing its own committees. Ii Mr.. Carlisle
should be re elected speaker there will
be no delicacy 10 his position, beoanse
he will submit to the house the construe-
ton OF the committee on elections. This
is the proper thing for Mr.. Carlisle to
do, and this is what he will do. Mr.,
Carlisle ought to be and will be the
speaker in the house in the fftieth
congress.

The CHICAGO STRIKE.

sHhar - aDEg.
No New Developments Among the
Pnckers-Thc knights Still Hold Out.
Chicago, Nov. 1.-THE situation at The
stock yards this morning shows an i'm
proyement. All packers report their
forces increasing, and among the appli-
cants for work to-day were many OF the
old men. Contrary to general expecta-
tion the army of workmen which was EN-
gagged by Fowler n Go. in New. York last
Monday arrived and reached their en-
ployers' establishment without any mo-
HESITATION. Reports to Gen. Fitzsimm at
8 O'Clock from all parts of the yard re-
port everything quiet.
The report teiegraphed from here
early this evening that the strike was at
AZ end was based upon direct informa-
ton from packers. At 10 p. IN. informa-
ton Is received from the same source
that the report proves without founda-
ton. j. O. Hately, member of the
ex ~esptive committee eff the packers
association, says the statement that the
strike has been declared off by the
knights was o mistake. He does not
undertake to explain how the mistake
was made, and can only say that shortly
before 6 p. m. the packers were in re-
ceipt OF information which, though not
official was considered by them reliable.
Messrs, Berry and Carleton, members
OF the knights of labor general execu-
tive committee, denied to reporters,
shortly alter d p. M, that there had been
any change whatever in the status oil
the strike.
A meeting OF strikers is in session to-
night at the yards, which is being attend.
ed by Messrs Barry and Carleton. Before
entering the hall at 8 p. M, Barry and
Carleton were seen and questioned con.
cerning the reported collapse OF the
strike. They denied emphaticaliy that
there was any truth whatever IN the
statement. Carleton who arrived this
morning as the representative OF Pow
derry to investigate the situation, said
that SC far from the strikers having sur
rendered, they were full of enthusiasm
and confident Of ultimate victory. So
far as he has been able to ascertain to.
day there was little or no probability oil
the strike ending until the men had won
their point, namely that the
packers cencede technical recogni-
ton of the principle OF eight hours
work FOR eight hours pay, or at least
allow the matter to be arbstrated. The
statement that Powderly had wired
Carleton to order the strike off was q
lie on it's face. Carleton hes only arrived
in Chicago this morning, and it was
absurd to suppose that he would
be peremptorily commanded to end the
Estrike without being given any time to
fulfill the mission which brought hin
here. News concerning Powderly's
alleged telegram had been received il
Chicago over spectators private wires,
and both Carleton and Barry declared
without reserve the belief that ..tap {,
port saying the strike was off had beer
given oat solely for stock jobbing pur
poses.
