A POLITICAL BATTLE ROYAL.
over Four Thousand Speakers ON
the Slump in Indiana.

The outside public may gain some
faint idea Of the magnitude Of the great
political battle that is just getting fairly
under way in every township and county
in Indiana, when it is learned that the
Democracy has $500 local speakers
throughout the State who have already
canvassed their W counties and are
now exchanging with adjoining counties.
The majority of this of army orators are
assigned for speeches every night in the
week for two or three weeks ahead, when
new assignments will be made. The Dem
ocratio State Committee facilitates the
work by arranging assignments for local
speakers through district and county
committees.
The list Of local speakers on the books
Of the Republican State Committee is
not complete as yet, but l,5O0 are en-
listed, which is an average of over six
teen to each of the 90 counties. The
work OF arranging dates and places for
the host OF speakers is largely done by
the State Committee. Both Committees
nave large rooms, where campaign Con.
gressional literature may be seen by the
ton. These documents arrive and de-.
part almost daily by the wagon load. 1t
is expected that Judge Thurman will at
tend about a dozen meetings in Indiana.

The opening Of the Supreme Court is
one Of the stage accessories to Official life
at Washington. Any one who has ever
been present siil never forget the scene.
The room IS a s;nffy zoe at best, and is
rather an owlish-looking place. One
placid faced negro sits at the door with
a string in his hand to help him open it
without trouble. Another, bat a white.
haired, son Of Africa, sits inside TO aid
him. Neither one Of them would demean
himself BY pulling the string for any n
less than a Senator or a member Of the
House. Ordinary citizens must push
their way inside unaided. No one must
carry a newspaper openly within the
sacred precincts, for the rule is absolute
that no reading Of journals is allowed in
the Court. Nor must any notes Of the
proceedingsb be taken-the official reporter
is to do all that.
Once inside, suppose the clock over
the door is striking noon. II it is strik.
ing at all that is the hour one hears, for
& never sounds save to call the Court to-
gether. Behind the long curtains that
hang in the rear Of the bench the judges
are formed, dressed in their silk robes.
The grave.faced old crier stands at one
end Of the Court, and then looks sternly
around to note if all are in proper style
to receive their honors. Then, with an
elevated chin and a loud voice he an
ounce 1.-The Honorable the Chief JUS

The audience rises, the curtain parts, the
Judges step forward, and, bowling low,
stand up an instant, facing those present,
who return the salutation. "0yez,

siop." And, with a quick, sharp glance
around to see that no u~nregenerate eiti-
zen has yet dared to be seated, the official
adds impressively, God save the United
States and this honorable Court" The
business has begun.-N. Y. Graphic.

Now that we have low rates Of
freight on ore, says the Haley Times,
miners cannot be secured. Professor
Hagen wants some, Hank Lufkin
wants some, J. o. Swift wants some,
and many other mine owners are
looking for gangs OF five to %; but
they are not to be had, as our miners
left by the carload, last Spring, and
since when it began to be feared that
the railroad people were playing"
MS, that is, when it seemed as if they
were only temporizing. Now many Of
the old boys would like to return, no
doubt, but they have not yet heard Of
the low rates, and many have good
jobs where they are.
The Minnie Moore will doubtless
soon increase its force now, 50 with
the Relief, Queen OF the Hills, Nay
Aug, Red Cloud, War Dance, North
Star Buttercup, Carrie Leonard,
Silver Star, Silver King, and a large
number Of other claims. So that it is
probably safe to say that between 200
and 800 miners could get steady employ
ment here at present, in addition to
the number working.

New STYLE whee,barrow.

Enterprise: A new style of wheel
barrow is in use at the Yellow jacket
mine. The new barrow is three.
wheeled. Besides having the wheel in
front, seen in ordinary barrows, the new
ones have two wheels behind where the
legs are usually seen. The new style of
wheelbarrow is the invention of one OF
the employees Of the company. II is

ti~culsrly for taking ore from the chutes

those 10 common use, but the hind
wheels are always there ready to be used
when wanted. The miners have christ

The New York Herald Of a recent date
says: There has never been a more cred
liable, orderly and admirable display in
this city than that Of yesterday. The
w~orkinemen did themselves proud. and
il is a pleasure to offer them our hearty
congratulations. We give a good deal Of
space to their parade, but it was worth
il. As il filed past the grand stand-ten
thousand stalwart men, with brains in
their heads and their skilled fingers, too
we came to the conclusion that the de-
cadence Of labor organizations, Of which
we hear so much in certain quarters, is
not exactly visible TO the naked eye.
There isn't a country on the globe that
can duplicate that procession. 10 Eng
land it would have been q bowling mob.
The air would have been lurid with
threats and the mounted police woald
have had their hands full. In France it
would have rent the air with revolution.
ary banners and shouts, and Paris would
have held its breath with the strange
feeling that nobody could tell what might
happen. In Germany the secret service
would be in full operation and the mill
tary ready at a moments notice to quell
a disturbance. In New York it had full
swing Of the streets and the full conf
dence aud sympathy Of the people. 1t
was a gala speetacle-banners, bands Of
music, cheers Of lockers on, good nature,
every concomitant necessary to a char.
acteristic American holiday.

InmuNIrY TO INFoRMEas.

An interesting opinion on the law re-
lating to promises Of immunity made to
offenders who turn States evidence has
been rendered by the United States Cir
cult Court in California.
Several persons were charged with a
fraudulent traffic 10 Chinese certificates
that is, of obtaining certificates fraudu.
lently and sending them to China for
sale to Chinese wishing to come to this
country. One Of the conspirators named
HIM confessed, and on promise Of immu-
nifty made by the District Attorney
agreed to testify as to the guilt of the
others before the Grand Jury and the
trial jury. He testified before the Grand
Jury, and on his evidence mainly the
other conspirators were indicted.
But before the time set for the trial he
notified the District Attorney that he
would not testify, or if be should he
would give testimony in favor of the
prisoners. Thereupon the District At.
torney made an arrangement for the ties.
timony Of another accomplice, and had
HIM arraigned for prosecution.
HIM now applied to the Court to have
all proceedings against him stayed until
he could petition the President for a par.
don. The Court refused the application.
holding that the applicant was not emit
tied to immunity, for the reason that he
had not kept his promise, and further
more because the District Attorney could
not guarantee immunity.
On the latter point Judge Sawyer says:
The authority to promise immunity to
an accomplish upon his turning States
evidence is not vested in the prosecuting
officer, but whether such person will be
| permitted to testify and thus secure an
equitable right to clemency is vested in
the discretion Of the courts, to be exer-
cised cautiously in view Of all the circum.
stances of the case and to promote the
ends Of Justice"
