AN ISSUE OF VERAClTY
Between Judges Goggin and Brentano in
the SundayClosing Case.

the sunday-Closing Case.
CHICAGO, Sept. 2.-The Sunday-closing
sensation has developed into an issue of
veracity between Judges Goggin and
Brentano and the case is a good deal
mixed. Goggin says that he acted as he
did-and he admits that his action was
mean and arbitrary"-to defeat Judge
Brentano, who had most unexpectedly
changed his opinion and gone back on bis
agreement. This agreement, Goggin says,
was that Brentano and he were at one on
the Sunday-opening question, both decid-
ing that the fair must stay open, while
Dunno dissented.
1t was not until the day before the case
was decided that Brentano informed Cog
gin of his change of opinion, and then
Goggin determined to win the case for
his own side. Brentano says that Cog
gins Interpretation of what passed be-
tween them is all wrong. He (Brentano)
was personally in favor of an open Sunday,
but told Goggin that if he could show him
the law that would justify it he (Brentano)
would join Goggiu in an opinion sustain
ing the injunction. Goggin said he would
write an opinion that Brentano could sign
but up to the day before the court met to
decide the case Lie had not done this
Brentano then told Goggin that he should
join Dunno in the opinion for Sunday clos
ing He believed the law was on that side
anyhow.
Meantime rumors are afloat that Judge
Goggin had looked too frequently on the
wine when it was red, which charge the
judge emphatically denies. He says he
has the Worlds fair in such position that
the gates must be kept open and that is
what he was after: also that the fair direc-
tory cannot get judge to review his ac-

WHILE the industries and the fnan-
cial business interests Of the country are
praying TO be delivered from tariff
agitation, the tinkers at Washington
are tlnkering away at a new bill Not
one of them is a representative of large
industrial or commercial constituencies
Not one has had practical experience IN
any Of the manufactures, or trades or
calings for which they are trying to
legislate. They are theorists, and they
are working with the energy of theorists
Baltimore American
For precisely those reasons they are
there. We have had too many men who
were practical and interested. We wish
legislators now who represent the people.
the wage-earners, the consumers. the
tax payers, the 10000, 900 of people
directly dependent upon agriculture.
When we choose judges or referees we
do not ask for interested, but
for intelligent and disinterested
men. When we send men to
our city councils, our state legislatures
we do not choose men who will represent
their own business, men who will legis.
late for their own Industries, men who
will pave streets adjacent to their own
property, give contracts TO their own
FIRMS grant charters carrying exclusive
privileges to their own corporations. We
do not send the agents of these
men, even. The members of the
present Congress we're not elected to dis
tribute the greatest favors to the most
powerful or the most liberal industries
and trusts they were elected TO levy
taxes on the people to support the gov
ernment economically administered. They
cannot force the, bosses, the Carnegies
and tricks, to guarantee wages OF
employment to the men; hence they ar,
not disposed to force the whole peopl,
TO pay extra taxes to enhance their pro
fits.
