There is no crank-Or mOnomaniac-

SO, 100000, the Inter Ocean seizes
upon the fact and yells out:
Nine billions of dollars. Two
thirds of which went to pay wages!
And that in the single industry of
railway construction. Six billions of
dollars in the American wage-earners'
pockets, most of which would have
been in the pockets of British wage
earners but for our protective tariff.
Farm labor in this country in the
last ten years has doubtless cost twice
as much. Suppose some crack-brained
donkey should bray out: ''Twelve
billions of dollars in the American
wage-earners' pockets for farm labor,
most of which would have been in the
pockets of British wage-earners but

tect such an idiot from the foolkiller,

POOR ECONOMY.

According To the recent statement
of the Secretary of the Treasury, the
amount OF unmatured and ~ per
cent bonds purchased since 1887 was
1926, S63, $50, for which $277 ,247, l45 was
paid; the premium, in lieu Of unma-
tured interest, amounting to S40,373,-
1876.
Asan investment these bonds, after
paying the premium, are worth less
than II per cent to the government.
Thus, to dispose of the surplus in the
treasury, the government has collect
ed from the people $277 247, l45 through
the unjust tariff tax, and invested it
in bonds to save less than /. per cent
Now everyone knows that money in
the hands of the people is worth from
6 to 10 per cent, and in many instan-
ces still more. Would it not have been
better for the country to have allowed
this vast amount to remain in the
hands of the people, who could have
made so much better use of it?

FUNK VICTORIOUS.
Judge Evans Had No Right to the
$4,000 Paid Him.
MUCH MORE THAN MONEY INVOLVED.
or Course an Appeal VIII Be Taken to the
Higher Court-HOw the Verdict was
Received by the Public Able
Arguments by Counsel.
THE VERDICT.


The verdict Saturday against Judge
Evans is something more than judg-
ment in favor of John Funk. Ii is a
notice to every Judge who needs such
admonition that il he must practice
law to patch out a salary he finds in
sufficient, he must do IL openly ana
above board, in courts other than his
own. and in controversies concerning
which, If acting as attorney, he Will
not, directly or indirectly, be called on
to pass judgment, acting as Judge.
This elemental principle, this verdict
SAYS, Judge Evans forgot; and he is
Justly rebuked for his derelicton.
1t is not pleasant to witness such a
rebuking; and the only satisfaction In
IL is that which every man must feel
in seeinga Judge, especiallyone in whose
hands are placed the patrimony OF the
widow and the orphan, reminded of
the fact that the business which the
people have placed in his charge is to
preserve those estates for the widow,
the orphan and their rightful owners
under the law, and that the Office of
Judge was not created to give the in
cumbent a foothold ION the ground"-
the first whack at the attorneys fees to
paid for advice to suitOrs In his own
court.

LOOKING AHEAD.

Our good and ponderous friend Of

action in far-off political contests. OF
course, between this writing and next
November the Democrats of this
county will hold a conventiOn-very
likely two or three cOnventiOns-tO
act with regard to state and county
nominations. But too often these
conventions meet without exactly
knowing what is best to do, and in one
very important regard, that of select

doctor is ready to give them the bene-
tit of his wisdom. Nothing is simpler,
indeed, in his estimation. than to

says no Judge shall receive pay Tor pro-
fessiOnal services from both parties TO
lawsuit, and, further that he shall
not act As an attorney in any case
pending In his own court.
This was was the main instruction,
and Judge Blanchard said he had a
painful duty TO perform in this case,
but he must give the law to the jury
As 1t was laid down in the statute.
The jury got the case at 1910
O'Clock and returned to the jury room
at l2:40, after eating dinner at the
Clifton. On the first ballot the vote
stood II to for plaintiff. The second
ballot brought the tardy Juror to time,
and on the third ballot the II men
agreed on Judgment for the full
amount-$2, 800:
"We, the jury, find the issues Joined
in favor Of the plaintiff, and assess
his damages at $500"
A number of the legal fraternity,
and counsel for both interested par
ties, were. present when the jury came
in. The clerk read the verdict, and
but little surprise at the result of this
famous case was manifested. The news
soon spread, and in in short while
the entire community were discussing
the merits Of the case. Those who
heard the instructions felt that it was
impossible for the jury to do other
wise than find for plaintiff.
Hon. Henry Mayo, attorney for
Judge Evans, said 1--WE have been
laid out, but the jury did their duty,
as the court instructed them TO find
for plaintiff" A motion was entered
for new trial, but if that is over
ruled the case will be carried to the
higher court.
Painful as it is to say it, il must be
said that the popular feeling is, that
the verdict OF the jury while cruel,
perhaps, is just.
