taking to teach wise congressman polit.
iCal economy, or the needs Of the people.
Thus have our friends, completely hood
winked by the gentlemen Of cloth, again
placed in control Of the nation one OF
the most willing tools Of Wall street
that has ever cursed our people.
Presto, change! and now these same
voters are as silent on the tariff as an
oyster; and whyP Simply because these
very leaders Of the old parties who before
the election declared the tariff the ques-
tion, and the person who claimed finance
and not tariff the question, a fool, a
wild-eye, crack Drained alliance fanatic,
now reverse their insane mutterings.
To-day the whole blast sent forth by
these poor tools Of plutocrsOy is upon
finance. Strange Rs it may appear the
whole plutocrstiC press TOW declare that
the tariff is Of minor Importance, while
the money question is ofsuch grave inn
portance that the chief deceiver, the
stuffed prophet, has called an extra
session Of congress in order to save the
people from financial ruin.
The GlObe-DsnaOerGt and many other
Of the worshippers at Mammon's throne,
continually declare that the sole need Of
the extra session Of congress is the re-
peal of the Sherman act, and that the
whole people are demanding such repeal
Notwithstanding the fact that nobody Of
what is termed the common people has
asked anything Of the kind. Such is the
manner Of deception practiced by such
people.
But short time since this same gang
Of decelvers were claiming that this
Sherman act was a god-send to the
people. Thus confronted, one is at q
loss to understand how honorable people
will continue to support such organs Of
uSO1pOLOAS A@oO Wo4A bulS 5blu0 paper
claimed it was an established fact that
people always sought to pay their debts
with the cheapest money in the coun-
try, therefore silver must 90, or it would
thus drive the gold out OF the country
and ruin our credit. The gall required
by an editor to thus presume on the ig-
norsnOe Of the people must be wonderful.
There is not a 10-yesr-old boy in the
land that does not know that the cheap
ness or dearness of the material of which
money is made is never thought Of by a
debt payer. When he pays his debts, he
pays with what he has, gold, silver or
paper, knowing that q gold dollar, or
silver dollar, as money, pays no more Of
debts, or buys no more Of the products
Of the land than even q national bank

Deception Their Stock in Trade,

EDITOR ADvoCATE:-But last fall the
plutocratic press, the greatest enemy the
American people have to contend with
to-day, declared that the tariff was tho
question that Of all questions should en-
gage the attention of the people polit-
ically; and, Notwithstanding the fact
that these political sharks had thus
claimed, year In and year out, with no
attempt to settle said question, the
people in the two old parties took their
medicine as Of old, exclaiming yum,
yum. All who SAW the deception and
strove to correct it were, even by their
neighbors, set down as crsnks.
Often have l heard it remarked by
those being gulled. that it was laughable

case. Ii they got GnIs case Lnrougn Lney
said that would settle the Homestead
people. l was told they had twenty-five
witnesses to bolster up my story. They
had me so badly frightened and kept me
drunk so long that I did not know
whether l was living or dead half the
time"
Davidson 3 statement ia about the same
as Gsllsgher's. Besides these, Mr.. Porter
has the affidavit Of person who swesrs
that q certain detective, in the atlantis
presence, told Gallagher why he wanted
to send Dempsey to prison. 1t was be-
cause he wanted to strike a blow at the
knights of Labor. The detective also
said that the only way to do it was to
swear Dempsey was guilty and stick to
it to the end. II he did not swear to this
tte detective said ne would have Gal
lBgher indicted for murder. Similar
corroborstion Of the confessions of the
convicts is given by nearly a dozen wit
nesses, whose Affidsvits Mr.. Porter has in
his possession.
1t will also be shown where detectives
tried to get others to do some swearing
in the case, and where false testimony,
outside Of Gallagher and Davidson, was
given at the trial.
Mr.. Porter said: 81 DO not want any
unjust suspicion to be attached to any
one. This work was done entirely by
Pinkerton detectives, probably because
they wanted to get even for their defeat
on July 6, and certainly without any su-
thority." Mr.. Porter thinks that be-
cause other PERSONS were connected with
the case, according to Gsllsgher's first
confession, were not prosecuted Is
sufficient and conclusive evidence that
the whole thing was plot against
Dempsey.
Continuing, Mr.. Porter said: "From
the first l have been entirely satisfied Of
Dsmpsey's innocence, aud, more than
that, there was never any poison Rd-
in the Homestead mill. This
ia the unfortunate result of reputable
people in Allegheny county importing
thieves and convicts from Chicago and
other places, and using them as detec-
tives. have no doubt but that when
we establish the truth OF what we now
know to be true, the pardon Of Hugh F.
Dempsey and Robert j. Beatty will meet
with hearty approval. An order from
court will be secured at once for the
convicss in the penitentiRry to give testi
mony, and the district attorney, together
with the attorneys for Dempsey and
Beatty, will have Gallagher and David
son repeat their confessions, while the
district attorney will cross examine
them. Then, il they stick to the state
ments already made, papers will be pre-
pared aud an appeal to the board Of
pardons will be made at the earliest pos
sible day. This done, attention will be
given to theseveral persons instrumental
in depriving Dempsey and Beatty of
their liberty."-Journsl Of the Knights
Of Labor, July %.

A SENSATION AT HOMESTEAD.
The Liberty Of Dempsey and Beatty
Sworn Away.

ern penitentiary for self confessed COM
pIicity in the alleged poisoning OF the
non-union woPkmen in the Homestead
mill, have made a confession, in which
they say they were paid to swear away
the liberty Of Hugh F. Dempsey and
Robert J. Beatty, both of whom they
now assert were innocent of the crime OF
which they were convicted. They further
state that so far as they know, there was
no poison administered to the men in the
Homestead mill. Gsllagher's confession
is written by himself and sworn to before
Squire s. D. White, Of Hsysville. David
sons was given verbally in the presence
Of witnesses.
Attorney Porter, one Of Dempsey's
attorneys, has, ever since the trial, been
gathering evidence in Dsmpsey's favor.
Six weeks ago he received letter from
Gallagher asking him to call at the peni-
tentisry. Mr.. Porter called, and, in the
presence of Warden Wright and Squire
White, Gallagher and Davidson told their
stories. Gallagher said the secret was
killing him. He had prepared the con-
fession and read it to the gentlemen
present, and then made affidavit to it.
Davidson's statements were simply q
confederation Of Gallsgher's. Mr.. Porter
this afternoon gave out the substance Of
the confession, suppressing only the
names Of the men who, Gallagher says,
were in the plot to send Dempsey to
prison.
Mr.. Porter read Gsllsgher'S confession
as follows, showing the reporter that the
paper was properly signed and attested:
Dempsey and Beatty are entirely
innocent. never got any powders or
poison from them, and I never admins
tered any in the mill. l was told by
Pinkerton detectives who arrested me
that il did not do as they wanted me TO
do they would indict me for murder and
have me hanged They got me drunk
and prepared confession for me. l was
kept supplied with money and whisky
for forty-two days, while q detective
shadowsd me all the time. l was told
that if l attempted to get away would
be shot After the story got into the
newspapers / was given q revolver and
was told that ! would be justified in
shooting any one who mOlested me.
They told me they were after Dempsey
because he was at the head Of the Knights
OF Labor, and that organization was no
good and ought to be broken up. They
said il 1 would testify against Dempsey
and Beatty they would not push q muir
der charge against me, and that would
60 free At the most would get only
sixty days to satisfy the public. They
continually cautioned me not to get
mixed up in my story; but to swear to
what they SAID and stick to it. They
made me reheRrse the story frequently.
There were other witnesses, who were to
take their cue from me and make their
stories corroborate mine. What Demp-
sey swope to was true. He hired US to
make reports Of the number Of men in
the mills. That $25 got from him was
borrowed money, and was used to pre-
vent my furniture from being taken from
me. E. w. Robinson, the prisoner in
jail, who testified that told him Demp-
sey was innocent, and that this Was q

SUPREME COURT DECISIONS
Risdon Iron Works VS.. Alexander Young
One Other Case

Two decisions have just been handed
down by the Supreme Court. The
first is in the case of p. G.. Camarinos
VS.. John Kidwell, written by Chief
Justice Judd and conCurred in by
Justice Bickerton and Judge Cooper,
the latter sitting in place of Justice
Frear, disqualified by reason of having
acted as counsel. The points decided
in this case are Under a contract for
sale of "pineapples in good condition
to weigh three pounds and upwards,
defendant (the selIer) weighed in the
crown or top with the edible part. The
Court charged the jury that "under the
contract the defendant was obliged tc
deliver the plaintiff pineapples which
include the fruit with the crown, and
defendant had no more right to mutilate
the crown than the fruit itself" Held,
no error, since the defendant is held to
have admitted by weighing the crown
with the fruit, that the crown was a
part of the pineapple sold, and it was
left to the jury to find whether the
crown was mutllated by defendant SO
that it deteriorated or spoiled the fruit
part. 1t is also held that in an action
by buyer against seller, if the seller
fails to deliver the goods the buyer may
recover the difference between the con.
tract price and the market value at the
time and place of delivery. The ex-
|ceptionS are overruled.
The second case decided is that Of
the Risdon Iron and Locomotive
Works Company VS., Alexander Young
for Infringement of patent rights. The
points decided are; A patent for a
combination is not infringed by the
substitution of an element that perform:
substantially different function, or o
one not known at the date of the patent
IS proper substitute for the omitted
element. The burden of proof upon &
question of infringement lies upon tn,
party alleging infringement. A paten
raises the presumption that the device
is patentable A device to be patent
able need not perform its work bette
than the same kind of work has previ
ously been performed. A change ii
the form of one element of a patented
combination, though slight, if it work
a new and useful result, may avoid in
fringement. A patent does not cove
more than is claimed nor more than i
described in such a way as to enable
others to construct it. Infring men
of patent for automatic feed rolls will
longitudinal ribs is not proved by The
mere fact that automatic feed rolls will
spiral ribs, with a pitch of half the cir
conference Of the rolls, have beer
manufactured and sold. This decision
is written by Justice frear, and is con
cured in by Chief Justice Judd anC
Justice Bickerton.

THE BOSTON FAREWELL
Annexationists Are Not i'll Favor of a
Ball at the Hotel

UNDERGRADUATES SiIC NOI III aVOf Oh a
Ball at the Hotel.
A morning contemporary states that
the management of the Hawaiian
Hotel have rendered the use of the
same to the same committee who
managed the pleasant entertainment
and dance given there last Monday
night for a similar occasion to be given
next Monday evening As the occa-
sion for which the hotel is offered on
Monday is proposed ball to the
officers of the Boston on the event of
their departure and to those of the
Philadelphia on their arrival a promi-
nent anneXationist fails to see the SINH
larity in the comparison, the ball last
Monday being merely a subscription
one and not complimentary to any body.
A STAR representative has talked
with number of prominent Annexa-
tionists this morning, all of whom are
bitterly opposed to holding an Annex.
ationist function at the Hawaiian Hotel
or any other place with a faint of
royalism about it, and prophecy that if
any committee unauthorized by the
Annexation party takes upon itself the
responsibility of getting up such dance
and reception it must also take upon
itself the responsibility of its utter
failure sure to ensue.
The Annexation party believe, as far
as can be learned from talking with its
prominent opponents, that a public re-
ception should be rendered the officers
of the Boston on the occasion of their
departure, but it believes that it should
take place in a public hall, like the
Opera house, where both Annexation
lists and Royalists would be on an equal
footing, where no suspicion of money
making was connected with the affair,
and where ample room would be pro-
vided to make the occasion a de-
monstration of the respect and regard
for which the officers and men of the
Boston are held by the people Of Ho,
nolulu, fully equal to that which char
acterzed the departure of the late Cap
tain Wiltse. 1t has also been suggested
that suitable mark Of appreciation be
rendered the sailors and marines of the
Boston before the departure Of the ship,
believing that their behavior, not only
while on duty either on board or on
shore but also when on liberty, has
been such to conduce not only to their
own credit but to the honor and glory

THE LETTER AND THE SPIRIT.
Common Sense Applied to the Interpre-
tation Of Apostolic Precepts.

EDITOR STAR: Ii is a misfortune
when an official teacher of religion
employs a vicious method of Bible in.
depreciation to support evil politics.
The Diocesan MdgdSiHe maintains
that ""Honor the king is a precept
that admits of no qualification Moth
ing can be more misChievous than such
an attempt to tie men hard and fast to
the strict letter, instead of following the
spirit. That is the way of fanatics,
bigots and cranks generally, who cast
common sense aside. Christ and his
grand, wise, sensible apostles never
meant their words to be interpreted in
that stupid way. They meant men to
use their ordinary common sense in
making the necessary and obvious
qualic ltions.
The Diocesan himself goes right on
to qualify the meaning of the word
"King" in the precept as extending to
all persons OCCUPYING the position of
head of the Government We also eX.
ercise our judgment and say that such
persons are, as rule, to be honored
and obeyed, or Government and society
would 60 to pieces. But there are
many exceptions to the rule. There
are many times and occasions when it
becomes sacred duty Of all good and
patriotic men to combine and over
throw the unworthy and lawless ruler.
The rule was never given to cut off and
exclude all such obvious exceptions.
Close by this precept stands the
other precept, Honor all men," Does
the Diocesan interpret that rule with
equal rigidity? If he does, how can
he ever approve of subjecting criminals
to disgrace7 The same qualification
of the rule that permits the disgracing
and destroying of some men because OF
their evil deeds, instead of honoring
them, applies to monarchs Of evil
conduct.
"The letter kileth; the spirit giveth
life " is teaching of wide application.
