John Gassoway and an Old Soldier Have ali
Kinds of Trouble.

John Gassoway and Samuel E. Rogers,
an old soldier from the Marion home, were
arrested yesterday evening by patrolman
Corhan. Gassoway was slated for assault
and battery and malicious trespass and
Rogers for malicious trespass. Both men
had been drinking, and in a fight which
occurred in the saloon at No. 125 East
Washington street, Rogers struck Gasso-
way and knocked him through a small
plate-ulass window. In the crash he re-
ceived q slight cut on the side of the neck
from the broken glass. Constable Hutton,
who saw the fight. placed Gasso-
way under arrest and left him in
Squire Habich's office. while a search was
made for Rogers. In q few minutes the
constable returned to the office with the
second prisoner. only to find the first one
had escaped. He was found In the Olfice
saloon, on North Pennsylvania street, but
refused to submit to arrest without q war
rant, and when the constable undertook to
take him showed fiaht. In the scnffie o
showcase was broken and the constable
was slightly cut upon tho head By q blow
from Gassoway. Hutton returned TO the
Office for assistance. and Constable Sorters
and patrolman Corhan went to the place.
and he was arrested By Sorters and taken
back TO the Justices Office, where Rogers
was held. and both were turned over to the
patrolman.

SMITH AND THE COURT.

He Makes a Statement Regarding Judge
Elliott that the Truth Does Not bear Out
The able Attorney general Smith was
quoted yesterday as throwing his usual
reflection upon the Supreme Court when
that body chooses to disagree with him or
his party. He is reported to have said that
the certiication of the gerrymander opin-
ION, without consulting him. was a remark
able proceeding, and that 1T is certa Inly
possible to have the case brought back and
the motion for a rehearing passed upon by
the court" meaning the new court with
the three Democratic judges. Speaking
further, he said. as reported:
IL perhaps shouldn't say it. but / am In
formed that Judge Elliott opposed the cer-
tIfioation of the case without the sigma
lures of all the persons interested IN the
suit appearing on the agreement presented
TO the court. He argued with earnestness.
l am told. that the case could not be certi-
fed back unless the agreement bore the
names of all the persons interested"
Inquiry among the judges of the Supreme
Court brings ont the fact that Judge
Elliott maze no such protest and was In
perfect accord with the other judges when
the agreement of waiver of the right to ap-
peal for a new hearing was presented to
them. 1t is not customary for such waivers
TO be brought to their notice. All that is
necessary Is 10 ME them With the CLERK or the
court. But the present clerk cberishes the
idea that he was elected to serve the Dem
ocratic party instead of the people. and
posted OFT TO the court with the waiver. 1t
was signed by the attorneys representing
the only parties to the suit, n the judges
ordered that il be accepted. Judge Miller
remarklng, There Is no need of that CON-
ing before Us. 1t is proper to file 1t with
the clerk. 1t conforms to the rules of the
court"
When questioned last night Judge Nc
Bride said:
There was no informality in the certif-
cation. The waiver was regularly
signed. The opinion demonstrated
that Chandler. the lntervenor, had
no interest In the case. because
his seat in the Senate was in no jeopardy
whatever. 1t was shown. also, that the
Attorney general had no proper interest in
the case. He was invited in to appear for
the State and protect its interests. if they
were in peril. but the decision shows that
from his stand-p point they were not in peril.
On the contrary. the peoples interests
were the same as the REALTORS. In showing
the evil effects that might accrue from a
continuance OF unfair appointments
Judge Elliott. in q part of his separate
opinion that was not published. went much
further than Judge Coffey, who wrote the
opinion of the COURT

THE SUB-TREASURY.

The Sub Treasury plan is bound to
be heard in Congress. All efforts to
kill it have been futile, and it stands
to day the most intelligent exponent of
financial reform ever brought forward
for adoption, says the National EconO-
mist.
It looks like it is bound to be heard
in political organiza ions, too. Some
weeks ago a Democratic convention in
Texas declared that a man who be-
lieved in the Sub Treasury should not
be admitted to a Democratic conven-
ton. Another convention has just
been held and the Sub-Treasury wing
says it must be in their platform.
They organized a new Democratic
party called the "Jeffersonian Demo
cratic party" Yes, the ~Sub-Treasury
nonsense Cd is bound to be heard. 1t
is one Of the best things in the world.

We sometimes hear it said that
Right will win" This is not neces-

ditions under which right will ALWAYS
win. What are they? When right is
ably and as persistently championed
and backed by as many supporters as
wrong, it will always win. In fact
right will often win when backed bv

IN HI SAME BOAT.

The hungry man in the city and the
hungry man in the country have the
same grievances, says the Cincinnati
Herald.
The city laborer working half time
for a pittance is in the same boat with
the farmer whose products don't pay
the cost of production. The merchant
feeced by the real estate shark, the
loan shark, the trust shark, the rail
road shark, and through them is driven
into bankruptcy, is victim of thesame
evils that are transform the mort
gagged farmers into tenants. The nan
who lives by speculation; by collecting
dividends on watered stock; by absorb
ing the products of honest toll without
rendering an equivalent, are the enc
mics of all living in city or country
who ask for nothing except what they
can earn by honest effort. Stand to-
against your common foe.

HOW 1T IS DYING.

The party press have been telling
thrilling stories about how the Alliance
is dying in the Northwest on account
of the good prices of grain in that sec
ton. They say that the people are
feeling so good that they are willing
to stay at home and attend to other
than Alliance matters, The real truth
is, the farmers of the Northwest arc
not as rich as the papers say they r
The famine in Russia has raised prices

DO YOUR EARS R

We have a long list of those who owe
us on back subscriptions, and some
times we look over it and are surprised
at the large number of good men we
recognize there, And as hard times
pinch us for debts we owe and we
think how much easier it would be for
1000 men to pay us 81 each than it is
for US to lose 81, 900, we can't help
thinking hard thoughts. Pay up,
brethren and friends, and come in a

A SUBTERFUGE.

Beyond a doubt efforts are being
made to side track the silver question.
A recent Washington dispatch says:
''It.would be an acceptable expedient
to both parties, for Mr.. Harrison would
not have to veto a free coinage bill and
the Democratic leaders would avoid a
split on a free coinage issue"
It can be seen from this that a part
of the leaders of both parties fear the
money power. "Mr. Harrison would
not have to veto the bill" THE Demo
cratic leaders could thereby avoid a
split" 1t don't make any difference
whether Mr.. Harrison's course is en-

rHR ovERPRoDUcTIoN FAL-
LACY.

We have in the world about 4 500,
600, 900 people. From nine to ten mil
lion bales Of cotton are raised every
season. Put the bales at $50 o r 500
pounds each-and that is probably
above the average-and we only have
between two and three pounds to each
human being. Besides this, much cot
ton is burned up and wasted every
year. Much of it is made into roping
and used otherwise. Wool is used to
some extent in the manufacture of
clothing, but the greater portion of
the cloth is made of cotton. Hence
the overprOduction theory is as false
as anything ever told. However,
under present conditions u farmers
must stop raising so much. Raise your
own supplies, become as independent
as you can. Reform will change the
conditions SO that cotton raising will
become profitable sometime. But for
the present it will not do to raise it.
Sop until the bottom rail gets on top,
Notwithstanding the prospect of a re-
ductiOn in the acreage, cotton futures
for the next eight months or to the first
of November, don't run above z cents;
hence the man who plants expecting a
rise will be left worse than even now.
Don't raise it this year.
