Philadelphia Record.
A New Jersey correspondent
who signs himself +" A Veteran of
the Late War, four years and nine
MONTHS" writes to demonstrate
with the Record for its opposition
to the pension profligacy. He
thinks the poor soldier deserves
all he gets, and that as long as the
salaries of nearly all public officials
from the President downward, have
been doubled, for very shame's
sake the pay doled out to the vet
rams of the war should go on until
they shall die. Our correspondent
makes a strong point. The sala-
ries which went up, properly
enough, when they were paid in a
deprecated currency, have never
been scaled down to the honest
dollar standard. The entire ex-
penditure of the government has
been inflated to the greenback
high water mark-and there it
stays. 1t is easy 10 put salaries
up; but the backbone necessary to
lower them is never sent to con-
gress or the Legislature.
But the Record has not advo-
Gated the discontinuance of pen
sions to disabled and deserving
soldiers who stand in need of a
helping hand. The list of pen
sioLers has been swollen by stu
pendous, scarcely concealed fraud.
1t is notorious and unblushing,
obtruding itself wherever you may
go throughout the length and
breadth of the country. The
bounty of the government toward
pensioners whose wounds and
poverty cry out for assistance is
crippled and stinted by the great
stream of dollars which flows into
the pockets of hearty, healthy
men able to support themselves,
and of bounty jumpers, deserters,
and thousands of other undeserv-
ers. There is not one soldier in a
thousand of those who in the late
war did not have to be hired to
shoulder a gun who wishes this
carnival of fraud to continue.
The pension appropriations have
been swollen to ten times their
proper proportion. From this
time forth under the operation of
the laws as they now stand, for
many years to come it will cost
more to pay authorised pensions
than too meet all other expenses
of the government; although gov
ernment expenditure has been
swollen to the most enormous and
outrageous proportions. Did any
patriotic veteran when he went to
war in 1861 anticipate that twenty
seven years after the war should
have ended the war expenditure
excluding the interest and princi-
pal of the public debt remaining
unpaid would be four times
greater than the whole cost of the
government at the time he should
cred his gun? We commend this
aspect of the pension question to
our esteemed correspondent. The
whole fabric of fraud and extrava-
gance should be pulled down, and
soldiers aud civilians paid accord
ing to their deservings and earn
ings.

No other remedy is SO reliable,

AS regards the damages. Wheth-
er the mesne profits claimed by the
Waikiki Sugar Company can be
awarded on settling the account Of
fered to be made by the plaintiff
company will depend largely upon
the settlement of the question
whether there has been a separate
occupation by agreement. If there
has been such an occupation there
would be no custer and no damages
in the suit at law. The determine
ton of this question should be made
before the suit at law can properly
be enjoined, for if there has been
no such separate occupation and an
custer be proved, see no reason
why the suit at law to recover the
alleged damages should not proceed.
The injunction was not granted on
the filing of the bill and will not be
until this preliminary question is
settled.
For these reasons the demurrer
should be overruled.
The plea in abatement sets up
that the Waikapu Sugar Company
has never declined and has consent
ed to a partition of the premises
and asks judgment if it ought to
answer the bill.
The correspondence in support of
the plea shows clearly that the de-
PENDANT was willing to make di-
vision of the premises but not in
accordance with the agreement now
set up in the bill, which it ignores.
The parties though agreeing that a
partition may be had are not in ac-
cord as to where the lines should
run, and that is enough to give the
court jurisdiction to hear the case
upon the allegations and proofs.
Plea adjudged bad. Defendant to
answer.
F. NJ. Hatch for plaintiff; Hart
well, Carter, Thurston & Frear for
defendant.

SMOTHERED.
AEPorfu3uese LabOrer Killed By
a Sand Bank Gazing.

Yesterday afternoon about 2:30
o'clock Portuguese laborer named
John Silvierra was smothered to
death at Makiki, in the vicinity of
the powder magazine.
As soon as the information
reached the Police Station, Deputy
Marshal Mehrten Immediately
started for the locality where the
unfortunate man had met with
death, and on his arrival found the
body under solid mass of black
sand, that must have weighed in
the neighborhood Of two tons. 1t
was the work of a few moments to
extricate the body, when it was
found that life was extinct.
The dead man had been working
in black sand pit when the acct
dent occurred, and according to
one of his co-laborers, he had been
warned of the danger of a cave in,
as sand had been dropping in small
quantities during the morning.
Silvierra was a married man,
and leaves a wife and two children
penniless. Yesterday was the first
employment he had had in five
months.
A coroner's inquest will be held
this afternoon at so o'clock.

By THE COURT:

Having well considered this case
and the arguments of counsel, we
hold that Justice of the Supreme
Court has jurisdiction in equity at
chambers to entertain a bill for
partition of real estate, for we con-
slider that the power granted in the
852d section of the Civil Code, to
partition real estate, is in harmony
with the 1228th section-providing
for the bringing of proceedings in
equity to partition real estate by
sworn petition, and is explained
by the latter to be grant of juris-
diction in equity. We therefore
affirm the decision appealed from
overruling the demurrer and adj
judging the plea in abatement bad.

TRADEMARK CASES
Hiram Walker & Sons, Of Canada, Get an
Injunction Against a Chicago House.

A case recently heard before Judge
Gresham, of the United States Circuit
Court for the First District of Michigan.
goes to show that persons who use
whisky must be on the alert if thew
would escape being imposed upon
The plaintiffs are Hiram Walker &
Sons, Limited, of Walkerville, Canada,
distillers and bottlers of whisky known
as Canadian Club" Under the Cana
dian excise regulations whisky may re-
main in bond indefinitely, and the dis
tlller may, if he SO wishes, bottle it while
still in the custody OF the government
officers, and thereby obtain an excise
certificate of the age and genuineness of
the liquor IN the form OF an official stamp
over the cork OF each bottle. This guar
antee is naturally very much priced by
the distillers who have the old whisky TO
secure it, and all whisky bottled by the
Walkerville establishment is so guaran-
teed.
A Chicago firm have put up a spirit
which they call Montreal Club" al
legged to be made by the Montreal Dis
tll!ing Co." which was shown to have
no existence. In all but name, the
Walker labels were closely initiated, as
was also the official stamp of the Cana
dian excise. The proceedings were rem
dered somewhat novel by the appear
ance OF MIR. q. &. Lash, @. c., of Toronto
on behalf OF the Dominion government,
to support the application OF the plain |
tltis to restrain defendants from further |
use OF the counterfeit certificate. The |
defendants were promptly enioined from |
continuing TO infringe upon plaintiffs /
trademark or labels, or 10 copy the Do |
minion excise stamp.
A significant feature of the case was !
the production by the defendants of affi-
davits by several liquor dealers OF Chi
cago, who could hardly be ignorant OF
the character of the goods in question.

Barton County democrat. [volume] (Great Bend, Kan.) 1885-1915, 1892-03-17

IT DOES seem that year of great
crime has set in The daily telegraph
for the last few weeks has reported an
alarming number of horrible cases of
human depravity; murders, rapes, rob-
berries and embezzlements, have been
following each other thick and fast.
Occasionally Judge Lynch has stepped
forward and added horror to the affair
by dealing out summary justice; and
the sickening smoke of burning human
flesh has assembled to high heaven in
mute evidence of mans avenging hand.
What is in the air to cause such an cpl
demic of crime? Is it ful6llment of
the prophecy of the star-readers who
lately predicted earthly disturbances to
follow certain positions of the planets?
Or is it an outgrowth of the social in
equality of man and the lack of employ
ment? Certain it is that the tramp
is responsible for most of the crimes.
Who are responsible for the tramps?

He Had a Dream.

Tossing upon restless bed, made
uneasy by the nightmare of hungry
expectancy that pursues the chroinc
Office hunter, Morg. dreamed the other
night that he died and passed on his
journey to another world. At first
there was but single road, but after
a long distance it forked, and standing
there as sort OF guideboard was an
angel, who inquired the name of the
traveller, and upon receiving this in
formation, the angel consulted his di-
rsctory and finding diverse black marks
and memoranda bade the pilgrim take
the left-hand road. After travelling
some distance he arrived at the abode of
his satanic majesty, who, while accord
ing him royal welcome, apologetically
remarked that he had arrived little
sooner than expected, therefore, would
he look about the diggins for season
whilst his apartments were being put in
orderp In compliance with this request
Morg. followed guide about and wit

who had prayed for temperance and

farther on they came to a room not
quite SO hot, where string of men were
hanging up by the heels by means OF
binders twine. In astonishment Morg.
asked the meaning of the strange sight,
whereupon the devil replied: 20, they
are farmers who believed in a high
tariff; they are so darned green that
