seemed low, yet we know of no one in
the country who would take the bunch
at the same cash figures. What we
want is more heavy compacted horses,

The press committee of the State
temperance union have sent out an
admirable letter for publication from
Judge n. @. Mcfarland, of Topeka.
After discussing the political aspects
of the case he says:
"There are many people perhaps
some prohibitionists) who say they
would like to see the question of pro-
hibition submitted to the people, so
as to settle once for all the issue, and
stop this everlasting agitation. Have
such people ever considered that if
the question should be submitted and
that prohibition should be carried by
a majority equal to the previous one,
or even greater; or if it should be de-
feated by similar majoity, that such
result would increase rather that dim
inish agitation? Suppose prohibition
should be defeated, will that stop the
war on open saloon7 Consider the
scources of agitation on this side of
human affection and will never cease
to operate. When the father sees his
son visiting the saloon and becoming
dissolute, will he cease the warfare2
When the wife sees her husband spend
his wages in the saloon, deprivIng her
of the necessities of life and fast be-
coming a drunkard, will she cease to
cry to God and man for deliverance?
When the father ceases to care for
his son, and all holy affection dies in
the heart of women, then agitation
may cease! On the other hand, if by
resubmission prohibition shall be
maintained, will the liquor interest
submit in silence, and never seek to
regain what it has lost in Kansas?
Will it2 Who believes it? 1t ought
to have submitted and ceased agita-
ton long ago; and would have done
SO if it had any respect for the will of
the people. Every legislature elected
since prohibition was adopted has
been overwhelmingly for prohibition,
and every candidate for state Office
during that time in the republican
party has been put on a prohibition
platform and elected by majoritIes
from 1000 to 10000, with the excep-
tions of Governor in 1882 and At
torney General in 1890. Surely agi-
tatioh ought to have ceased. But it
has not, and will not 50 long as there
is money in the business of selling
liquor; and so long as the malignancy
of human nature remains unchanged

SUMNER ITEMS.

The traditional wedding bells
would have pealed right merrily and

been bells to announce the happy

Myrtle Griffin was expected home

Eight or nine families were we'll

to show their skill with the needle.

OCCASIONAL.
Phillipsburg herald. [volume] (Phillipsburg, Kan.) 1882-1905, 1892-03-17
a ridiculous sham FIGHT.

As presidential election approaches,
there is considerable fuss being made
by both parties about enforcing the
anti tIust laws The whiskey trust Is
being prosecuted in Boston, the Ohio
supreme court has delivered a decis-
ion against the Standard oil trust,
there is brave talk about preventing
the Reading railroad, Lehigh and
Central New Jersey combination, the
Cordage trust is threatened and lot
of new antitrust bills have been in
troduced in Congress.
We doubt if there is enough poll
tics in this sham-fghting to pay the
party leaders for their trouble. 1t
must be a very simple class of voters
which can any longer be persuaded
that it is within the power of legisla-
ton, even if 1t were the sincere wish
of the Legislators, to check the strides
ot-business consolidation. 1t is very
possible, and indeed altogether likely
that in the formation of many of the
trusts legal technicalities have been
disregarded. and IN these cases it is
quite probable that the courts may
occasion them some inconvenience,
and perhaps necessitate more careful
reorganization. But that is all. The
history of the sugar trust is proof
enough of this. That combination,
famous not really as the first of the
series of trusts but as the first that
fairly awakened the public mind to
the existence and peril of the tenden-
CIV, after it had fought the New York
courts for several years, concluded to
save lawyers fees by recognizing un-
der New Jersey laws as one corpor-
alton instead of a union of corpor-
atoms.
This simple act, without in the
slightest degree qualifying or dimIn-
lshing its character or operation as
monopoly, has made its position legal
ly impregnable. Precisely the same
course is open to any trust which is
being blackmailed by the politicians.

The Peoples Party has commended
that some of our laws are oppressive,
or that the laws themselves are alright
but the judiciary has been deciding
them contrary to the principles of JUS
tice. Lately, however, Judges have
been giving different rulings, as will
be noticed by the following extracts.
What effect the position taken by the
Peoples Party in these matters has
had with these Judges, The HERALD
will leave it with its readers to decide;
The case brought up by the Keene
Five Cent Savings Bank against the
Brunswick Hotel Company of this
city was decided yesterday by Judge
Rlner in a way quite unexpected.
The savings bank foreelosed a
mortgage on the hotel property and
obtained degree for $4,000. The
property was sold in Topeka in front
of the federal court house for $4,000
and was bid in by the plaintiff who
then asked to have the sale confirmed
and at the same time asked for a iudg-
ment over for the sum of $4,000.
The court confirmed the sale but
declined to enter Judgment over in
any sum whatever, holding that the
plaintiff by the confirmation got the
entire property as originally mort
'gaged.-CapitaI
Judge Humphrey has rendered q
decision that will be of interest to
both mortgages and mortgagors.
Most mortgage notes contain a clause
TO the effect that if default be made in
the payment of principal or interest
from the time when the same is ad.
vanced at the rate of II per cent. Del
annum until paid, less the amount
paid on the coupons. The practice il
Kansas, it seems, has been to allow
this IN computing the amount of the
Judgment. But Judge Humphrey
holds that the extra rate of interest i.
I'm the nature Of a penalty and tina
the laws IN Kansas do not allow sucI
action. hence a note can only bear 1:
per cent interest from the time of de
fault and not from date.
Judge Humphrey is Judge of tn,
district court of Dickinson county, il
the Twenty-frst district, presided
over by Judge Spilman of Manhattan
the same rule has always, since Judg
Spilman has been on the bench, bee.
inforced; his honor holding that whel
an instalment of interest is paid an,
accepted, that is a settlement of al
questions of interest up to that date
and that subsequent default canno
reopon the question The reasoning
seems to commend itself for justice
equity and logic.

the bosses on the lower end of the table,

things in the past, found the dish would
be served on the other end first, and
that they stood a fair chance of being
left. Something had to be done, and,
with a cunningness that eclipses Alb
belts schemes, n hours notice was
given that a Democratic let would
be held. What a lovely time they did
