TO BRING THE TRUST TO TIME
Central Distillery Directors Planning a
Test Case or Two.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Dec. 8.-The sale Of
Trust, through Samuel Woolner, of
Peoria, Ill, promises to be productive
of a very interesting lawsuit. Thetrust
has failed to carry out its part of the
agreement under which it secured the
plant, and the course to be pursued on
the part of the Central stockholders is
to be decided upon at a meeting of the
members of the Board of Directors of
the old company, to be held tomorrow
or at an early day.
1t is understood that the action by
them will be the institution of a test
case by one of them to enforce the con-
tract of the trust to deliver spirits at
81. 10 per gallon, with probable proceed
ings to forclose the deed of trust for
$500, 600 held by them on the Central
plant.
The contracts on which the test case
will be held were assumed by the pur-
chaser of the Central. They were for
the delivery Of 10000 barrels of spirits
at 81 10 per gallon on orders after forty
eight hours notice. These contracts
were originally made by the Central
with it's individual stockholders and
with Baltimore firms. In order to in
sure the execution of the con sracts by
the purchaser of the plant, the stipula-
ton was inserted in the deed of trust
that if at any time there was a failure
to fill any order after forty eight hours
time the deed of trust could be fore
closed. How Mr.. Woolner and the
trust tried to abrogate that contract at
a meeting at the Southern Hotel last
Saturday has been told in The Times.

ROW IN ALABAMA.
The Reform Men in the Legislature Pro-
pose a Reduction of Salaries.

pose q NeQuCC1On OF Salaries.
MONTGOMERY, Ala, Dec. 6.-From
the present outlook the State of Ala
bama is bound to pass through it's most
uncomfortable experience since the re-
construction period. 81 am having a
bitter fight to save my State from dis
honor" said Governor Jones to day,
and l am going to win in the end. I will
block the State Government, shut up
the schools, and close the court before
l will consent to notification and re-
pudiation on the part of the legisla-
ture."
There is nothing in this ia nature of
an idle threat, and from present ap-
pearances Gov. Jones will have an OPP
portunity to carry out his determine
ton for there is not the slightest doubt
in the world but that he will keep his
word. Members Of the legislature are
worked up over the situation. There
is almost daily a caucus which ~lastsfar
into the night. The situation Is partly
the outgroWth of the late election. The
Kolb men In the legislature have made
up their minds to fight Jones to the
end, and they are conducting the fight
on the line of economy. This has proved
attractive to many members who be-
long to the regularly organized Democ-
racy. Indeed, the leader of the fight
for economy is a regular. Many bills
making reductions have been intro
duced. These are made mostly In
salaries of officers under control of the
legislature. Some idea of reductions
may be gained when it is said that the
salary Of the Attorney General of the
State is fixed now at 81, 300. The APP

Minnesota, as q state, had her first
election by the Australian system, on
Nov. 9Th. In her large cities it had
been previously tested. Some Of
the mistakes in the new method 81
casting the ballots were quite anus
ing. In some cases the whole ticket;
with but one mark, was thrust into
the ballot box, which, Of course, was
equivalent to not voting at all.
Some voted for the first man on the
ticket instead OF marking every
candidate, thinking that was voting
the ticket straight, as is the custom
in some states. Others, voted for
TWO or more candidates for the same
Office. And again others crossed of
the names Of the parties they. wished
to vote for. Many errors were made
in voting upon the amendments.

The laborer and producer who
voted an old party ticket, voted
with, and for, the men who are direct
" benefited by old party legislation,
bankers, railroad presidents and
managers, bond and mortgage hold
ers, monopolists and managers OF
trusts, land their name is legion-the
Pinkertons, the subsidized newspa-
pers and thousands OF other blood
sucking corporations who live and
thrive off pablic favor. 1t seems
more congenial to the natures of the
laborers who vote with the old par
ties, to toll themselves into abject
slavery, there to arouse their dor
mant energies and strive for man
hood and self-ree pect, for self and

Only about SO per cent OF the

from 10 to 40 per cent below the

is not as strong as the straight popu-

Might is not always right. The
man who cast peoples party vote
on election day has the assurance in
his own heart that he cast an honest
ballot, for an honest cause. A vote
for the elevating of humanity, a vote
for the weak and oppressed, a vote
for the honest legislation,-a vote
that God and angels would approve
and sanction. Did he lose his vote
or his manhood, because others were
not willing to stand by an honest
cause? Who will say he did.

Last spring, ii the daily newspa-

ment that Saltwater Irvine was 2zc.

We might as well have said three

The pressure Of the campaign kept
US from carrying out those chal-
lenges. But we are now prepared to
do SO.
We will purchase Belgian Cordage

as the girls in our Irvine factories,

Dor system in this country. And the
Belgian mills will still make Nc per
pound profit on every pound.
We can nearly duplicate this from
the Belfast Mills. But there the girls
are paid somewhat less than the girls
here. The difference is fully made up
in the additional cost of living!
Here is profit OF 2.67c. made by
American manufacturers, paid by the
American laborer, over and above
the legitimate profit. And more than
that-the Belgian product will be
laid down at Chicago, and the Ameri-
can product will be F. 0. b. New
York-so there is still another mar
gin of 9th cent a pound to be paid by
the American labor to the Baal of

And yet again: The Chicago dealer
gets that cordage shipped 900 miles
for Nc. per pound, and the Minnesota
merchant land consumer) pays Doc.
per pound from Chicago to ST. Paul
and more yet to Dakota.
These are facts never before pub
lished, and we want the man who
voted for the gigantic foe of free gov
eminent plutocracy-at the late
election, to swallow the facts and d.
gest them a. leisure.
