Let's reason together.

Here's a firm, one of the

world over; it has grown, step

greatness-and it sells patent

Suppose every sick man
and every feeble woman tried
these medicines and found
them worthless, who would be

THE LAW UPHELD.
Judge Blodgett Renders a Decision Ia
orable to the Mckinley Tariff statute.

Judge Blodgett Renders Decision Fav-
orable to the Mckinley Tariff statute.
CHICAGO, Feb. rs In a very brief
decision Judge Blodgett upheld the val
idity of the Mckinley bill in the appeal
of Marshall Field &s CO.. from the de-
cision of the board of general
appraisers at New York. The
court simply affirmed the de-
cision of the appraisers, and allowed
an appeal to be taken to the United
States supreme court. Judge Blodgett
said he was much impressed with the
arguments of the appellants attorneys.
Their chain of reasoning was of a sub
stantial nature, but it was the policy
of this court not TO interfere with the
present arrangement of the tariff rates.
Mr. McKinley's bin materially in
creased the duties on Mr.. Fields goods,
and he protested against the increase
on the ground that the law was
unconstitutional. The importer held
that the weli-known fact that
the bin as il was signed by the
president was not the same as the bill
passed oy congress, because in engross-
ing it and preparing it for the pres
ident's signature the clause on tobac-
co rebates had been left out, render
ing the act null and void. Under this
view the old tariff act of 1888 was
still in force. The custom house an

also sustained the law and it was on its
decisions that the case was appealed to
the United States district court.
District Attorney Milchrist and ex-
Judge Hand on behalf of the govern
ment, argued that the omission of part
of section so relative to tobacco did not
destroy the effect of the entire tariff act,
The United States circuit court had the
power to say this or that part of the law
is good or bad. No time will be lost in
taking this test case to the higher court
for final decision.

FIGHTING FOR LANDS.

Remarkable scenes Enacted at Ashland.
Wis.-Flling Claims for the Wisconsin
Central's Forfeited Acres.
MINIATURES. Feb. ga wild rush
for government lands took place at
Ashland Monday. About 200 applica-
tons for homesteads were received by
mail and were considered by the land
office officials the first thing after
10 o'clock Monday morning. AS
no additional force was put in
the land office it took sew
eral hours to look over them. Mean
while the crowd outside was bowling
for the window to be opened, surging
backward and forward with terrific
force. Men who had been in line for
almost week gave up at last and left
the lines, faint and respondent Ninety
seven of the 200 applications by mail
were rejected. Offers for position in
the line were freely accepted by the
tired men, The pluclly woman held her
seventh place, although the crowding
and rustling of the frantic land seekers
was terrific. The filing window was
opened few minutes before o'clock.
1t was the signal for final rush
among those in the rear, but there
was no material change effected in
the order of the fiiers. Three men
in the line tainted before the filing
began. They were removed to hos
pital. Albert Vincent filed the first
entry at 2;l5 Monday afternoon. Miss
Knickelbine filed fifth, the crowd
cheering her At o'clock a. m. there
were four distinct lines leading up to
the window. and in the rear men were
standisg in any manner possible TO get
nearer the window. At the lowest es-
innate there were 500 crowding toward
the window. The plucky Miss knicl1-
elbine held her place, although several
others were crowded ont of position.
She hadn't left for three days and
nights. Little Albert Vincent had tied
himself to his first place with ropes
which cut his body, so great was the
strain, but he bore the pain without
groan.
just as soon as they filed their papers
the homcsteaders without taking a mo-
ment's rest made all possible haste for
the land they claim. On all of this land
there are squatters and there will be a
conflict when homesteaders and squat
ters come together. Some will wait
and evict the squatters by pro-
cess of law, but there are large
numbers of them banding them
selves into companies for the pur-
pose of aiding each other in the eviction
OF squatters. In many cases where the
squatters have made proper improve
ments and bought in good faith of the
railroad companies their claims are
given preference in the land depart
ment, and these homesteaders in taxi
ing the law into their own hands for
the purpose of evicting them will meet
with prompt resistance. No one can
predict what the next few days may
bring forth in the way of bloodshed.
The homesteaders are in frenzy and
the squatters and settlers are desperate.

life at the close of his present term. He
has made this declaration repeatedly of
late to his Ohio friends and by these
gentlemen no doubtisexpresseda as to the
sincerity of Senator Sherman's utter

is more significant in view of Senator
Sherman's prominence in the past as a
presidential candidate. His purpose in
retiring to private life carries with it,
of course, a remuneration of any future
presidential aspirations.
