On last Monday there was quite
a large crowd in Liberty, al the
opening Of the Circuit Court. The
people of Amite generally manifest
anipterest in the proceedings of this
judicial tribunal, and the failure OF
the fall term causes a comparatively
large docket. The grand jury was
empaneled and entered upon the
discharge of their important work
on Monday evening, after which
the petit jury for the week we're
sworn and assigned to jury No. /
and jury No. 2, and after some
preliminary business before the
court, II was adjourned to 0 o'clock
Tuesday morning.
The Southern herald., 1891-03-13

The general business Of the term
of court SO far has been of rather
a tame and uninteresting character.
The criminal docket, though hav-
ing quite e number of cases, has
few of much importance. What
the grand jury may develop in their
work we cannot say. Some cases
of importance have been investi-
gated before that grand inquest but
the result Of their deliberations is
not yet known to the public.

scheme Of contraction can begin
anew. 1t is a regular thimble-rigger's
game-nOw you see it, and now you
don't see it.
1t was this infamy that caused the
terrible panic of 1873 and brought
ruin and bankruptcy on thousands
OF innocent and well-meaning people.
1t was the same deviltry that caused
Germany to experience the same hor-
rible desGation after the cutting off
OF half it's money. through the de-
mOnetization of silver and the conse-
quent contraction of it's currency by
one-half
If you doubt this look at the differ
ence between the condition of France
and Germany after the war between
them. France was compelled to pay
Germany an indemnity OF five mil
lards and lost it's two richest prov
inces (Alsace and Lorraine). Yet in
France business was booming and
the people were prosperous while in
Germany they had a disastrous
panic, thousands were bankrupted,
mortgages we're foreclosed without
number and business was at a stand
still. The difference was caused by
the fact that Germany contracted it's
currency, going through the pinching
process described above, while France
increased it's currency by the issue of
additional paper money and prosper
ed as it never did before.-Robert

Banner, New Mex:
According to Bradstreet one-half
of the business failures last year is
attribute BILE to alack ofmoney. The
Alliance has been telling the country
this long time, that the general de-
preston was attributable to alack of
circulating medium, but these busi-
ness men did not believe us until
they had to accept their own fguers
which proves every time that we were
right. We told them that the farms
were overburdened by mortgage in
debtedness but they denied it only to
admit it later on, when they found
that figures confronted them. We
told them that not an Alliance mem
Der of the legislature could be
bought to vote for Ingalls, and they
denied our assertion only to be con-
fronted with the fact later on. We
know what we are talking about and
the sooner the business interests OF
this country realize this fact and join
hands with us and help us curb the
arrogance of the money power, the
better it will be for us all. These
money kings care no more for the
ordinary business man than they do
for a pauper and will swallow them
up as well as the farmer. 1t is time
for town and country to Join hands
if they wish to save our liberties.

Another Big Labor Fight,

Denver was the scene of a labor
conflict on the 18th inst. The own
ers of brick yard where there was a
strike on, assembled eight negroes
and proceeded to the yard to work
Near the yard they met body OF
strikers. Davis and Son, the owners,
ordered them away to let them pass-
OF course Davis had no more official
authority to order men about than
any other person and the strikers did
not move. The two white men and
negroes then opened fire on the body
of men. At the first shot man was
killed who was not a striker, but was
in the neighborhood by chance. tits
said that in the conflict five men were
killed. One of the wounded men said:
1--WE were sitting under the trees
when Davis and his party came up
with their guns on their arms. Mr..
Surber said: "Mr Davis, we would like
to talk to these men, Davis replied:
sWe want no talking Then he
shouted, 'Firei' and emptied his gun
at the strikers. When poor Ridenour
fell, young Davis shot him again
after he was was down." A number
of men who we're present at the time
corroborated the story of Shamul.
The men about the park say that
in addition to the men who were shot
two little boys who were crossing
the street at the time were hit by
stray shot, but neither was fatally
hurt. A

small affair-an upright brass-tube
handle six inches high, with a 2x2 in.
box at the lower end. The strips of
addresses are projected from the lit
tie box, pasted, cut off and stamped
on the paper or wrapper by the
stroke of hand which lifts and strikes
the mailer upon the paper. The only
limit to it's speed is the skillin getting
the paper off the pile underneath.
The machinery is being put up to
manufacture the machine. 1t is about
one-fourth the size of other machines
for that purpose; and whereas the
other rapid machines cost $50, this
will cost but $1S and be more simple
and rapid. Competent judges re-
gard the invention as OF great value
to the newspaper world. The element
which gives it it's advantages is in a
''jacket handle," one tube, the one
grasped by the hand, working upon
an inner tube, by a stout spiral
spring, so that when the little box
and the attached inner tube-handle
strike the surface of the paper, the
jacket handle is carried down an inch
or two below. On lifting the machine
the jacket handle returns back-both
by the lifting and by the spring.
This movement of the outer handle
gives all the power used in working
the rollers and knives.

lustrated lecture upon "How the
Other Half Live" before the Unitari-
an Club, of Boston, in which the evils
resulting from our present system
were portrayed. He said that less
than 100 years ago there was not a
tenement-house in the whole of New
York, while now no less than !, $780,
600 of the city's inhabitants live in
these houses, and this number does
not include an army of 10000
tramps, who lodge wherever fortune
provides a place for them. From the
last reports of the bureau of vital
statistics, it was shown that one in
ten of the deaths in the city were of
those persons whose bodies found
their way to Potter's field, while one
in five either died in a correctionalin-
stltution or the lunatic asylum. The
lecturer doubted whether destitution
causes more drunkenness than drunk
enness causes destitution; but was in
clined to the belief that destitution
was responsible for the greater share
of the intoxication that existed
among the tenement-house occu-
pants. One picture exhibited showed
twelve people sleeping in a room only
thirteen feet square. The price OF a
"spot" in one OF the cheap lodging
houses was five cents. In the 10th
ward there was a population of 333,
900 to the square mile, which was
greater than any similar area in the
wOrld.-The New Nation.

That Thirty Thousand.

San Francisco Star:-Neither Judge
Levy nor Fisher Ames has dared to
ask for an investigation OF the rumor
now SO general, to the effect that
thirty thousand dollars was paid to
the lawyer to bribe the Judge. The
Bar Associa tion has not moved.
Now, then, what will the Grand Jury
do about it? We shall see. 1t is to
be regretted that the reputation OF
any Judge should be so notoriously
bad, that a mere rumor OF this kind
is generally believed to be a fact.
We tell both Levy and Ames that,
if they are innocent men, they will
not permit this ''rumor'' to go un-
challenged. And if they do, the pro-
per tribunal should investigate it
fully and report the result without
fear or favor.

the week, leaving the Office one week

movement of the reform forces with
the most intense interest. There is a
great amount OF suppressed excite
ment throughout the financial world
to-day. There has never been a Pc
riod like this in history. There have
been as serious times in different gov
ernments-much more serious. But
this anxiety covers the civilized world,
wherever labor has become a politi-
cal force.
And the. .excitementis very peculiar.
1t is silent battle. Unseen legions
and invisible battalions are march
ing and countermarching. There is
the shock OF battle too-butno noise,
no commands, no blood-shed, no
cleaning weapons, bullets or smoke.
The conflict is a struggle of force
an attack upon the very citadel OF
the human heart. Men, by intellect
ual and moral agencies meet in ho-
tells, and in halls and Offices. The
guns are double-shotted with bribes,
batteries and promises. The ram
parts OF honesty, OF manhood, are
thus assaulted-and the great ques-
tion arises, Will the manhood OF the
age surrender? At present the cor
rupting forces have the advantage.
They are disciplined, and they have
money to pay their troops, and buy
their opponents off. Sometimes they
attack state -hOuses-and almost al
ways manhood crumbles and topples
into the abyss of damnation, where
lie the mouldering bones OF billions
of humanity who have been crushed
with ignorance and wrong.
The statehouse is the favorite re-
treat of the toiling manhood, and it
is the favorite point of attack. By
''favorite retreat we understand

hood rest upon numbers. So mighty
are the surges of the undisciplined
hosts that we hope the hollow-heart-
ed squares OF the Snobs may be brok-
en- ere humanity is totally corrupted
and enslaved.
The silent battle goes on. The con-
ficts are abroad in the land. The
Angel of the Lord looks on-and the
Devil rests anxiously on the curl OF
his tail-all watching to see the out
come.
All, and there is the great, painful,
restless, sighing, hungering, thirst
ing, heart OF Humanity, waiting for
the verdict on it's destiny. God have
mercy on you if the battle goes
against you-the Plute will not nor

Highway Robbery by Law.

LII duOu uu0f COIuIIlu we puDtlSQ an In
terview with the Director OF the Mint,
Mr.. Leech. 1t displays the fact that
there is vast difference of opinion
in the Republican household as to the
financial condition of the govern
ment. John Sherman, in a speech in
debate in the Senate on the 10th day
of May last, used thefollowing words:
Then there is the reserve fund of
$1OO,OOO,O0O crea ted by two acts of
Congress and set apart and dedica-
ted for a particular purpose, and the
Secretary has no more power to use
that money for current purposes, ac-
cording to the plain construction of
the law than he has to use the money
of the Bank of England.
That is Sherman's construction of
the law. Now, let us see what Mr.:
Leech says in regard to it. In the ar
ticle referred to, in commenting upon
the $1OO,O00,OOO reserve, he uses the
following language:
There Is nothing in the law which
provided that $100,OOO,OOO or any
specific amount should be accumulat-
ed, much less that the sum named
should be held as reserve. The only
ground for treating it as a specific re-
serve is contained in the provision of
the banking act OF 1882, that the is
sue of gold certificates shall be sus-
pended whenever the gold in the
Treasury falls below $1OO, 100000.
We quote again from Mr.. Leech:
Take. for instance, the $1OOO,OOO,-
900 deducted from the available bal
ance as reserve for redemption of
legal tender notes. As is we'll known
this money was accumulated in the
Treasury by the sale of $95, 500, 900,
and that an additional amount of
about$4 @, ,OOO, 600 was retained from
surplus revenues for the purpose of
specie resumption.
So it is a plain statement of fact
that, by John Sherman's construc-
tiOn of the law, we will have paid as
interest On those 3O-year bonds when
they are due in 1907, the sum OF
81 20, ,O0O, 600. And John Sherman
has done the American people out of
this without any warrant of law.
And Secretary Foster entertains the
same view when he proposes to use
that surplus in the current expenses
of the government. We have ALWAYS
maintained that John Sherman was
the king OF conspirators against the
people; that he was a iegalized rob
ber, and now comes the present Sec
retary OF the Treasury and the Di-
rector of the Mint that say that he
has done his robbing outside the pale
of the law.-Nat. Cit. Alliance.
