A VERY POOR INVESTMENT.

James Henry Work Sued for S2oO,OOO for
Giving a Friend Poor Advice.
NEW YORK, April "A suit. which is a
sequel to the failure of the banking firm of
Grant & Ward, was brought to trial this
afternoon in the Supreme Court before JUS
tice Patterson and a jury. The action is
brought by Colonel Edward C. James, a
lawyer, against James Henry Work, a
broker, to recover upward of $500 900. Colonel
James alleges that Mr.. Work induced him
to invest money in the firm of Grant & Ward
on representation that he would realize at
least s per cent on the investment the
money to be placed in large Government
contracts. What these contracts were, the
plaintiff alleges, Mr.. Work said to him, he
was not at liberty to tell him but he as
serted it was almost a sure thing.
Mr.. Coate, in his opening effort for the
plaintiff, declared that there was never any
thing in these contracts at all, that they were
all fictitious from beginning to end and that
at the time the transactions began the firm
OF Grant & Ward was insolvent. He said
that Work had induced large numbers of
his friends to put their money in those
schemes and that before the failure of the
firm he had drawn out and put in his pocket
81, zoe, 600 which was really the money that
his friends had invested.

Victory for a Railroad.

CHICAGO, April 4.-Judge Blodgett TODAY
decided an interesting point in the damage
suit of n. K. FairDank & Co., against the Gin.
cinnati, New Orleans & Texas Railway. The
Fairbank Company sued to recover IS Oe0 for
the alleged lost OF some oil in transit through
Tennessee. The defendant company Claimed
that the United States Court had no iuris
diction, inasmucn as the railroad companv
was not resident of this State. 1t had only
an agent here who was not empowered to
solicit business and hence it was claimed the
service in the case was not made, the rail
road company being resident of Ohio. The
court coinclded with this view and held that
the service had not been made.

1t is because land is made scarcer.
dearer, harder to get at any price that
we are to-day suffering and every day
VIII nave to suffer more and more from
conditions similar to those of Europe.
Whlle the Atlantic States were being
populated by the daily arrival of immi-
grants from Europe, the demand for la
Dor was increased. The public lands
along the Ohio and Mississippi attracted
the attention of the surplus labor of the
Eastern cities. 1t was not necessary for
all this labor to take to farming, but
sufficient number took advantage of the
opportunity to employ themselves as
farmers to create a demand for other
labor from the ordinary to the profess
sions.
The public lands were always the
safety-valve for a contested labor market.
lhey We're the opportunities left labor to
weaken the competition among men for
work, and produce competition among
employers for workmen. But the power
OF monopoly and the greed for gain
showed its cunning in appropriating all
tne arabic land and denying to labor the
right to employ itself. Speculation has
gone In advance of population, leaving
little or no farm land at the disposal of
the government. There are still nomi-
nally on the map millions of acres
belonging to the government, but they
are mountains, boys, lands that need
irrigation.
The ordinary land, such as you could
make living on, is all gone. 1t has
been stolen by corporations and the
bribery of legislatures.
III seems logical to keep out cheap
labor to make the market scarcer for
labor, but why not eradicate the real
evii-the monopoly of the opportunities
to labor. Break down that monopoly
and compel the coal baron and other
landlords to open the mineral land
which they are now purposely keeping
IDLE IN order to increase the royalty
from the other mineral land that they
are working. Break down those barriers
which prevent the surplus labor from
relieving itself and hold it hungering
around the street, the mine, and the
factory, You can do this by the simple,
peaceful, contitutional remedy of taxing
those landlords to the full rental value
of their holdings. Then there will be
such use made of the land as to create
demand for all labor, skilled and un-
skilled and every man able and willing
to work, will always have the right to
employ himself, the opportunity to make
a living.-D. r. Guiaan in Equal Rights,

To Put Life In the CamDajpn,

The North Side correspondent of the
standard says of the political campaign:
Never has there been a contest between
the parties where less interest was shown
than the present. The Democrats should
stir themselves and show greater activ-
ity in politics for in close district like
this, the majority party always suffers
after disinterested contest.
The result in November will empha-
size the work being done at present, and
for the sake of Democratic principles
and Democratic success we should have
more interst shown in the present
contest.
A public debate between the Republi-
cans and Democrats in Freeland would
help to stir the potical pot. The county
is large and both parties have ample
material to put against each other in
battle of the brains on some of the lead
ing issues of the campaign.
Our people would welcome a move of
this kind, and the result would be graft
flying and pleasing to ALL Let the candi-
dates who seek an election to congress
on either ticket come to the front and
show the faith that is in them.

The Way of 1t.

This is the way of 1t wide world over
One is beloved and one Is the lover,
One gives and the other receives:
One lavishes all In wild emotion,
One offers a smile for life's devotion.
One hopes and the other believes:
One lies awake in the night to weep.
And the other drifts off into sweet, sound
sleep:
one soul is aflame with godlike passion,
One plays with love in an idler's fashion.
One speaks and the other hears.
one sobs u love you" and wet eyes show II,
And one laughs lightly, as says II know it."
With smiles for the others tears;
one lives for the other and nothing beside.
And the other remembers the world is wide
This Is the way of 1t sad world over
The heart that breaks is the heart of the lover.
And the other learns to forget
For what is the use of endless sorrow?
Though the sun goes down it will rise tomor-
row;
And life is not over yet"

That Passionate Love is Pains own mother.

No New County Wanted,

Farmers, taxpayers and workingmen
generally of the fourth and sixth legis-
lative districts do not want any division
of the county. They know that with it
will come burdensome increase of
taxes, for the purpose of erecting and
sustaining a new county administration,
and that will only benefit the few.
Outside of little clique in Hazleton,
some of whom have property interests to
serve and another set, who have politi-
cal ambitions they want fed, there is no
new county wanted.
New county means heavy taxes and
these are high enough at present for all
who pay. Wright's election will settle
the new county question for all time
