A ThankleSs Pack.

The Humane Society of Mime
apolis is making war on Hon. John
Day Smith. Senator Smith is not a
populist,-we wish he was;-but he is
an honest man and an earnest hui
manitarian. He did work, in the
last state senate, for the protection
of children, and dumb animals,
which no one else would have at
tempted; and now the people he
worked for are Jumping on" him.
That's the way of the world. I'D.
The representative., 1893-10-04

Most of the populist conventions
in western states declare in favor of
female suffrage. Right!
The representative., 1893-10-04
MR.. JUSTICE BUCK.

1t is an occasion for congratula-
tion to the peoples party of Mime
sofa that they have furnished an
eminent representative to the SUI
preme bench of the state. The DO
pulist convention, recognizing in
Mr.. Buck a man whose insight into
legal principles, ability to discern
the substance of intricate questions,
whose judicial mind and thorough
sympathy with popular right, were
widely known, offered to make him
their nominee for judge of the su-
preme court, and Mr.. Buck accepted
the honor. He was subsequently
nominated by the democratic party.
The accession to the supreme
bench of man fresh from the peo-
pie is an occasion for congratulation
to all the interests of the state, for
courts, and especially the courts of
last resort, are conservative in the ex-
treme, while the people are progress
i've: and an infusion of new life will
tend to place that tribunal in closer
touch with the masses whose inter-
ests it was created to protect.
And the same logic applies with
equal force to the demand for a re-
vision of the state constitution.
The people have grown away from
1t, and it stands in the way of ur-
gently needed reforms. 1t, too,
needs an infusion of new life. The
growth of corporate power, which
invades every branch of industry,
and the combinations of corpora
tions, monopolizing commodities,
suppressing competition, crushing
out all rivals, and robbing the peo-
pie, have for the most part achieved
their power since the constitution
was adopted. Given new charter
of liberty and the further infusion
of new life that will take place upon
the succession of Judge Canty in
January, and the judicial depart
ment of the state government will be
fairly in rapport with the people; and
the wage-earner. the producer, and
the consumer will have fair chance
with the corporations.
The REPRESENTATIVE tenders it's
cOngratulations to Mr.. Justice Buck.
DeScratiOn.
"To the glory of God and the
memory Of Jay Could" This will
be the inscription on the Gould me-
mortal church. AS the money-getter
is the supreme being in this coun-
try, transpositiOn of the line as
follows would have presented the
situation more truly and succintly:
ITO the glory of Jay Gould and the
memory of God. ."-Western Laborer.
This may sound blasphemous, but
there is dreadful sight of truth
in it.
How did Jay Gould every glorify
God? There is not stone in that
memorial church that does not rep
resent plunder, crime and the mis-
cries of mankind. 1t is desecratiOn
to mention Gods name in such a
structure. God and Jay Gould!

Other Accounts.
Theodore Witte also saw the treatment
of Col. Bacon and his arrest and gives the
same account of it.
Ulrich Palmedo said: 81 went down there
as an official watcher, and as i got of the
train L was surrounded by a crowd of men,
some of them in police uniform, but the
greater number in citizens dress and arm
ed with clubs. 1 exhibited my papers signed
by Judge Cullen and some one in the crowd
took them out CT my hand. tore them up
and threw the pieces in my face. Then
two others set upon me until 1 was glad to
get away with my life"
Mr.. Palmedo was in a sorry condition.
His eyes were blackened and almost closed
his face was cut and bruised and blood was
flowing from his wounds, which, as he
spoke, he continually staunched with his
handkerchief
1t was an outrageous proceeding, such
as l never have witnessed before" added
Counsellor Louis Stober, who was present

there and appeared to be the leader of the
gang of Gravesend toughs.
THE moment he caught sight Of Col Ba-

heelers, and, tapping the colonel on the
shoulder. said: You are just the man we
have been looking for. Here, officer. ar

that time Col Bacon was grabbed by botf,

hustled away to police headquarters The
Rev. j. Kent, who was with U.S. was also
assaulted. and 1 was pretty roughly ham

than my friend Mr.. Palmedo."
Mr.. H. s. Worthley. who was one of the
official watchers who went down to Grave
send this morning. had this to say of his
experience: Il went down there as an Of
fcial watcher early this morning and
had an Injunction signed by Judge Cullen
in my pocket. AS soon as I got off the
train 1 was accosted by John Y McKane
who asked me who 1 was and what was
my business. When 1 told him he ordered
me to get out of Gravesend In a hurry, and
when i moved away from him to avoid
trouble he said: Get a move on you and
get out Of here quick One of his men who
thought / was not moving fast enough
struck me blow I'm the mouth with his
fist and made haste to get away, as ]
saw my life was in danger. / firmly be-
lieve i would have been killed or badly In

Others of the watchers were assaulted
and some Of them desperately.

AGAINST RETIREMENTs.
Representative bailey Will Press His
Bills mt the Regular Session.

Representative Bailey of Texas intends to
make campaign against the retired list of
the army and navy and United States
judges on the retired list when the regular
session of Congress opens next December.
He introduced several bills a few days age,
noted in The Star at the time. providing for
the repeal of the laws authorizing the re-
tirement of officers of the army and hayy
and United States judges, and also provid-
ing that those persons already on the re-
tired list shall cease to draw pay from the
government.
Nv by, of course l intend to push them,"
said Mr.. Bailey today, when questioned by
a Star reporter. Il was never more in earn
est about anything in my life If those bills
are not reported from the committee after
a reasonable time I shall reintroduce them
and ask their reference to some other COM
nittee. l think the House has right to
express its opinion upon them by vote,

SUPREME COURT CASES.
Want of Jurisdiction Recognized
New Trials In Murder Cases.

The Supreme Court Of the United States
has dismissed several cases for want of
Jurisdiction. Among them were these:
Reuben B. Miller, executor. against John
Swan ct al, appealed from the Alabama
supreme court. This was a suit involving
the right of the Alabama and Chattanooga
Railroad Company to dispose of certain
lands included within grants made to Ala
bama in 1856 and 1869 in aid Of the construc-
ton of railroads.
Justice Gray dismissed the appeal of the
Empire Coal and Transportation Company
against the Empire Coal and Mining Com
pany, from the judgment of the circuit
court for the middle district Of Tennessee,
on the ground that the diversity of citizen
ship which was an ESSENTIAL prerequisite of
jurisdiction in the Supreme Court of the
United States did not appear.
The judgment of the circuit court Of ap-
peals for the eighth district was declared
to be final by Chief Justice Fuller, in the
case of the Colorado Central Consolidated
Mining Company VS.. John Turck; hence 1t
was dismissed. Turck sued the company
for possession of mining lode.
Men convicted in the United States dis
trict court of the western district Of Ar
kansas Of murder and sentenced to be
hanged were yesterday given another
chance for their lives by the Supreme Court
OF the United States. John Brown was
convicted of killing Josiah Poorboy and
Thomas Whitehead, deputy marshals, in a
general row that occurred in front of the
residence Of one Hitchcock, who was suing
for a divorce from his wife. There was a
charge of conspiracy to murder Hitchcock
involved In the case, and the court per-
mitted Mrs. Hitchcock to give evidence
This, Justice Jackson said, speaking for
the court, was error sufficient to warrant
an order for a new trial.
Justice Brown announced the Judgment
of the court in the case of John Graves
convicted of the murder of an unknown
man in the Indian Territory. Brown was
returned to Fort Smith for trial, where his
wife lived. She did not appear in the court
room in the course of the trial, and in his
argument the district attorney animad-
verted upon the fact. Justice Brown said
that as the wife could not be a witness in
the case, the defendant was under no obliga-
ton to bring her into the court room to
aid the witnesses by her presence in either
strengthening the Identification Of the
prisoner as the man last seen with the de-
ceased or rebutting that identification, and
that the statement of the district attorney
was SO far calculated to prejudice the de-
fendant with the jurors to merit a new
trial. The judgment of the court below was
reversed. Justice Brewer dissented.

Sensational Charges,

A sensation has been created by the
charge that the democratic leaders IN Bos-
ton have fixed UP a plot to hold back the
real returns in the wards Of the city,
sending out false and enlarged returns ana
then sending the ballots to city hall, trust
ing to luck to be able to fix the recurns up
so as to make Boston elect John z. Russell
over the republican plurality in the towns
and cities outside
Whether true or not the story has had
the effect to make the republican precinct
officers doubly watchful. and they viii
doubtless be able to frustrate any such
scheme. The republican state central COM
mittee has offered a reward of 500 TO any

cution and conviction for illegal voting.

On the democratic side the managers are

part OF the republicans as a gigantic blur"
They confidently expect to give John 4.

HEAVY VOTING IN NEW YORK.
No Reason to Change Predictions On
the Results.


Special Dispatch to The Evening star.
ALBANY, y. Y. Nov. From the man.
ner in which the voters have been gotten
out to the polls this morning throughout
the state. there is no doubt that the fun
registered vote will be cast The day 10
perfect. the country roads good. and there
is nothing to prevent a very large vote.
The Star correspondent from the latest
advices received last night and this morn
ing, sees no reason to change the forecast
made heretofore. There has been no abats-
ment of the anti-Maynard sentiment.
The counties that will give the largest
anti-Maynard vote are Erie. Monroe, o.
wego. Oneida, st. Lawrence. westchester.
Rockland, Tompkins. Cataraugus ana Chau-
tauqua.
The counties that will give a vote of fair
Washington. Jefferson. Lewis. Onondasa.
Madison, Putnam, Montgomery, Orange.
Otsego, Delaware. Sullivan. Chenango.
ben. Cayuga. Ontario. Wayne. Yates Liv-
ingston. Orleans. Wyoming. Niagara ana
Allegany.
Tfoga. The outlook today seems TO indicate
Democratic success in the legislative tick
cts. Conservative estimates give the demo-
Gratis IL OF the 80 members of the senate.
The assembly is more doubtful.
1t will be very close. with the probabtl-
ity OF the democrats electing eS out OF the
12s members, thus continuing democratic
control of the legislature.
The apportionment of the senatorial dis
tricts will insure a democratic majority in
the constitutional convention. The demo-
Gratis will probably carry seventeen or these
districts, each with five delegates. This
will give them eighty-ive delegates to the
convention. IL the republicans should carry
the other fifteen districts they would have
seventy-five delegates. Only by the repub
licans carrying their entire state ticket
containing the names OF their fifteen can
didates for delegates-at-large will they be
able to gain a majority in the convention.
II they should elect these fifteen men
they would have ninety delegates I'm the
convention to the democratic partv's
eighty-five. The success or defeat OF the
democratic state ticket will determine the
control OF the constitutional convention.
and everything indicates the success OF the
democratic state ticket.
The judicial candidates alone seem to lag
In todays election.
