Because They Refuse to Obey
Federal Court Orders.
Judges Wray, George and Lane,
of st. Clair County, Mo.

Must hemain There Until the Expiration
of Their Terms Judges-Wray and
George VIII Get Out in January, While
II Looks as Though Lane Must Stay
There Until 1895.
KANSAS CRY, March 31.-The cases
of the ST. Clair county judges or com
missioners came up before Judge Phil
lips in the circuit court Tuesday. These
II the Judges who refuse to order a
tax levy to pay $500, 900 in bonds and in
terest, which the court decided valid,
and which the people hold are invalid.
Judges Vray, George and Lane are now
in Jail for doing what the St. CLAIR
county judges did
The charge is contempt and they say
they will remain in Jail till their terms
as Judges expire. This will give Wray
and George their liberty in January
noxt, but Lanes term does not expire
till 1896.
Cause of the Trouble.
The bonds were issued in 1871, for rail
r,n6 purposes, and the law at the time
gave the county the right to issue bonds
without the consent of the people. The
people oppose the issue on the ground
That the railroad-the Union Pacific
cid not comply with the terms of the
subscription. In April 1871, Judge
Stevenson and Prosecuting Attorney
Cline started for st. Louis to negotiate
the bonds, and were pursued by the in
furiated citizens and lynched. Another
man named Higgins, who was with the
Lond-selling party, was taken in charge
by the sheriff, and was granted leave to
no to his beC room, where he suicided
through fear Of the mob's violence The
lynchers were never brought to justice
The country is more civilized now, but
the people are still determined that
they will not be assessed for these
bonds.

Certain billboard Picture. Now Seen In New
York streets Aroused the Indignation OF
the BOSTON Working womnn.
On last Monday the Boston Board OF Alder
men appointed themselves censors OF BILL
board advertising in that ancient and moral
town. The SuN had already published the
news that some working women had taken
umbrage at certain posters that are now dis
played in the streets. and at u formal meeting
had resolved to petition the Aldermen to act
as the Board has since done. Tho display OF
the female form in tights was what these ear
nest champions Of modesty resented and
hoped 10 see forbidden. The Aldermen re-
sponded promptly. but not with an ordinance
against demoraliziug posters. They resolved
that no licensee shall advertise public per-
formance by means OF pictorial posters or
p!acards until such posters or placards have
been approved by the Committee on Licenses
The Committee on Streets and Sewers report
cd this ordinance favorably. and it wns passed
unanim ously.
This Is by no means the first time that city
Government has interfered to prevent tho pub
lication of Objectionable pictures In the streets
In Brooklyn. Baltimore. and elsewhere one
sort OF action or another has followed petitions
from the people, but in no case have the re.
