The Gold Bugs Law.


The new silver law now seems to be
quite satisfactory to the capitalists
Of the east, who have all along fought
silver. it can not be claimed that
the prospect Of bullion value Of silver
approaching its coin value is a reason
for their content, because when they
sccure the decentralization Of silver a
silver dollar will be worth $1.03. 1t is
not because it provides for the issue OF
more treasury notes. because they
have always fought that to the bit.
ter end. it may be that in view Of
the general sentiment Of the country
for free coinage, making itself heard
through organization and threatened
characterization, they feel that they
have escaped with little less. Bet
we are Inclined to the BELIEF THAI
they are in good humor because that
after q year the coinage OF silver
dollars is to be stopped, except SO
much as may lie necessary to redeem
treasury notes, and as treasury notes
are to be redeemed in gold in the dis
erection of the secretary, there is not
apt to be much silver needed; and be-
cause of the fact that the new treas
| TRY notes are not to be legal tender
| where otherwise especially provided
in the contract. Here are two points
in favor of dear money men-the
| holders of funded wealth: First, the
| gold basis, tying the new money tc
gold; and az the base is small, they
| well know the structure cannot pc
large. Second, the expectations of the
legal tender qualities Of the new notes
In a large portion of bonds and real
| estate mortgagesit is provided that in
terest and principal shall be payable in
gold. It may be, that at an opportune
| time, they will demand gold, and re:
fuse the new treasury notes; and
silver dollars too, for under the re
monetization Of the silverlaW OF 1878.
the legal tender function OF n silver

observation-disclosures World.

The New Tramp Law.

If the republican papers should 20
for Gov. Boics for signing the scam
dalous tramp law passed by the late
republicad legislature, they would be
using their space to much better pur-
pose than in a little tattle about
paTdons he has not issued. The law
is a disgrace to the state, a reproach
to humanity, a sheer at Christian
civilization. How in the world Gov.
Boies came to permit it to become a
law, instead Of promptly yetoing it,
is as much of a puzzle as can be
imagined.-Red Oak Sm1.
Our Democratic contemporary is
right. The law is simply Infamous.
1t is not only infamous, but it is the
browning act Of infamy. It was
introduced in the senate by Senator
Bayless, a Democrat; 1T was passed.
by aRepublican legislature and signed
by a Democratic governor, and there
is not a man who voted for it, nor the
governor who signed it, but what
ought to sink into political perdition.
When the asking for a morsel Of
bread makes a ma acriminal and sub
jects him to an outrageous punish
ment u%nequaled since the dark ages,
it is about time the people awoke
to the condition these enemies oflib-
erty are placing the people in.-lnde-
pendent american.

The Alliance North and South.

There is something instructive as
well as amusing in the effect which
is produced on the political elements
North and South by the Alliance. In
those Southern states which give
large party majorities it is charged
that the chief end Of the Alliance is
to disturb and defeat the dominant
party. All sorts Of ugly things are
said about the people who are thus
charged with evil intent. 1t is re-
ported, and on good authority, too,
that a large number of Southern con-
gresham are likely to lose their
places by reason of the Independent
action of the Alliance.
The same condition is reversed in
the Northern states where the other
party is in the majority. The doc
trines of the Alliance and its object
are exactly the same in all parts.
Naturally where one party is largely
in the majority, the Alliance will
draw most of its members from that
party, and it is because Of this act
that it has friends and enemies in
both great parties.-Kansas Farmer.

ANOTHER o. P. DECISION,
Judge Rose Declares tho North Dakota
Law Unconstitutional-The Same Also
Applicable to South Dakota.

Judge Rose Declares the North Dakota
Law Unconstitutional-The Same Also
Applicable to South Dakota.
Judge Rose has filed his decision ut
Jamestown in the Barnes county original
package case, which was argued last week.
In view of the probability that the original
package business will continue until the
next legislature meets, in both Dakotas,
the decision is of great interest to the
northwest, inasmuch as it defines under
what restrictions the original package bust.
ness might be carried on prior to the pas
sase of the Wilson original package bill.
The title Of the case is the State VS.. John
Bergreen. The defendant is an original
package dealer in Valley City. The COM
plant alleges that he sold liquor in viola
ton of section 10 of the prohibition law in
selling in original packages, and that under
said law his place was a nuisance. An Or
der was therefore asked restraining him
from further selling. The defense con-
tended that the statute prohibiting tho
sale of liquor in original packages was I'M
constitutional when it was enacted and is
still a %nullity. Judge Rose holds that the
An"3 WuCu OuhSSCA1 "oo uCOubtllullOudl
He says congress having the sole power to
regulate m among the states, and
not having granted power to the states to
leRislate prohibiting the importation and
sale of Intoxicating liquors at the time the
legislative assembly Of the state
of North Dakota enacted the said
act, the state was without authority to
pass the act and the act was void when
passed and imperative in SO far as it pro-
hibits the importation and sale of intoxi-
eating liquors. The judge declined to pass
upon the claim that the law is still a
nullity, for the reason that the acts COM
planned of were committed prior to the
passage of the Wilson bill and hence that
the law cut no figure in this case. He
decides tsht original package dealers are
amenable to the state laws if they permit
liquor sold in original packages to be drank
on the premises. On this point he says
while the importer can import his mer-
chaudise [beer3 into the states and sell
such at any place therein and may keep a
| place or house in which to store and Sell
It, yet rs soon as he has sold the beer and
it has passed into the hands of the
purchaser and it has thus become q part of
the property of the state aud subject to its
laws, he ceases to be on importer, and be-
comes amenable to the laws of the state in
so far as he invites and permits purchasers
to assemble and drink the beer he has sold
in or on lis premises. Bergreen having
permitted liquor to be drank on his prem

strai ming him from furth / selling Of
liquor. The decision appli>s as we'll to
S ,uth Dakota as North Dakota.

Prosperous Times.

For the money power. Twenty
five years ago the farmers owned one
half the entire wealth of this coun-
try. To-day they own less than %
per cent of it,. What does it mean?
Ireland is cursed by a landed arts
tocracy. America is fast coming
under the same bane. Glass legis-
lation has taken.the wealth from the
producers. Large landed estates are
becoming very common and ten
ants are increasing on the geometric
plan. Wealth has been ruling and
the people are becoming every day
less and less able to turn the tide.
These are prosperous times for the
money loaners and corporations, but
death to the interests OF the farmers.

round, while his victims must 60 in
rags and tatte.s. Wise voters!
Noble legislators!

PRISONERS COMPLAIN.
They Want to Get to the Work House
Before Dinner.

Holding Of burt in the two police stations has
proved q success in every particular. The
rooms in which court is held are well suited
for such purposes and the prisoners cells are
located SO near the room that not much time is
wasted in bringing the prisoners into court for
trial. The larger number Of prisoners is taken
to the sixth precinct, where the morning ses-
sion is held, and there is no reason why the
prisoners disposed Of at that session Of the
court should not reach the work house every
day before dinner. Instead Of doing this, how
ever, they are driven back to the old court and
there kept until the prisoners in the second
session are disposed Of, and then all are taken
at once. Recently many prisoners have COM
planned Of being held in tho police stations for
an unusually long time without food. and many
OF them are glad when they reach the work
house in time for dinner. There is an appro-
priation made for feeding those who are I'M
fortunate enough to fall into the hands Of the
law, and, consequently. there is no reason why
the necessary food should not be given them.
As it is some prisoners are detained in the cells
three or four hours after trial and kept out OF
their meals that much longer than is necessary.

have decided, it is stated in q special to the
Baltimore american from Eliicott City, to make
short cut in the Washington route past the
