A special from Jefferson City, Missouri,
says; most important decision has been
filed by Judge Burgess of the Supreme Court
In case Involving n construction of a law in
volvlng option dealings in grain.
There was a cross appeal In two cases, one
by the brokerage firm Of Conner * Conner OF
st. Louis 10 recover commission and "a, 400 OF
margins from one Black, and the other by
Black to recover S, 900 put up with the firm
to hold up deal Of 10000 bushels Of oats
The court finds that the dealings were purely
fictitious, so far as an actual delivery Of grain
was concerned. and the court holds that such
transactions, under the existing law, are
gambling and consequently void
The court does not intend 10 be under
stood MS holding that any person, company or
corporation may not sell any Kind Of personal

FROM all parts of the country comes
up the cry of people in lack Of food,
fuel and clothing. In large cities cs-
pecially is restitution the most severe,
and thousands of families whose heads
are without work are applying to char
liable societies for relief Unless the
wealthy and wcll-to-do open their
hearts aud purses as never before,
there not only will be numbcress
cases Of suffering, but many deaths
from hunger, That the destitution IS
not confined to the cities is evidenced
by the reports of distress that come
from the iron regions Of Michigan and
must Be SUPPORTED BY Charity or they
will starvc, as there is no work for
them. Six German farmers have just
been sentenced to Jail by the court in
eastern Wyoming because they stole
cattle to keep their families from hun

IT is an unusually quiet week when
Kansas doesn't produce a sensation.
This time it emanates from Governor
Lewclling. He has sent to the metro
politan police boards of the cities of
the state a circular letter urging
them not to enforce the laws against
vagraucy. He thinks that because the
hard times have caused men to be
thrown out of employment they should
not therefore be considered objects of
suspicion. He scores the laws now
on the statute books, which call the
men out of work and pcnnilcss, "con.
dencc men," Speaking of the va.
grancy laws of Kansas, he says: at
separates men into two distinct classes,
as those who are penniless and those who
are not, and declares the former conf
dencc men. Only the latter are entitled
to the liberty guaranteed by the consti-
tuition. To be found in city, with.
out visible means of support, or some
legitimate business, is the involunta.
ry condition of some millions at tho
present moment, and under the law
we proceed to punish them for being
victims to conditions which We, as a
people, have forced upon them.
