A TEST CASE,
Which VIII Be of Much Interest to Pen.
siOners.

blOneTSs
WASHINGTON, Oct. 6.-An action of
much interest to pensioners was
brought in the district supreme court
here. The plaintiff, Judge Charles d.
Long, of Detroit, Mich, member Of
the supreme bench in that state, filed
a petition for mandamus to COM
pei the commissioner of pensions
to pay plaintiffs pension, which,
he holds, was illegally suspended.
The commissioner, in suspending
the pension, held that while Judge
Long was drawing a good salary as a
member of the supreme bench of
Michigan he could not also draw
seventy-two dollars per month for
total disability. Judge Long contends
that the commissioners actions were
illegal. and are warranted by no act of
congress or rule of the interior depart.
ment Judge Bradley, after hearing
the petition, granted n rule returnable

Lochren to show cause why the writ

SURVIVORS

u
or the Louisiana Storm suffering From
Hunger--Unlcss Water and Provisions
are Conveyed Many Will Perish.
New ORLEANS, Oct. 7.-Shortly Z. after
1 o'clock Friday morning the lugger
Evelina pulled up ut the wharf at Har-
vey's canal 1t was crowded with refu-
gees from Cavarnache, small settle
ment on Grand bayou. There were six
teen people all told, on the lugger, and
the first thing they asked for was water.
They report that the people have
nothing to eat at Cavarnacne and Bayou
La Fonde. At Bayou Henry there Is
one store still in existence. The pro-
prietor has, however, put up prices OF
provisions so high that the natives are
unable to pay the price. Rice is sell
ing at $19 a barrel. The people at
Bayou La Fonde, to keep from starving,
are eating dead hogs, chickens and
other animals that perished in the
storm. The greatest suffering is from
the lack of water.
There is very little water to be found,
and from what the people on the Eve
lima say, unless water is conveyed to
those that are left behind, they will
perish from thirst. The Chinese colony
that was situated near Bayou Henry is
a thing of the past. Over forty of the
Cinnamon perished. The Cinnamon
who survive, however managed to save
some provisions, but they will not
share them with their white brethren.
On the way to the city the Evelina

Henry. Further on a man that had
been hoating around on plank for
eleven hours was picked up. Every
lugger, with the exception of the Eve
lima, was lost. There is now no way to
enable tie survivors to search for the
dead.

SILVER QUESTION,

Probability That the Agony Will BE

WASHINGTON, Oct. Two weeks

ment. Even the manifestation comes
from New York that rather than have
the question drag indefinitely settle
ment on the best attainable terms
should be made.
The air is now full of compromise
That such will be the outcome seems
assured. There will be continued de-
BATE some hot interchanges, pro-
tracted sessions, and every means taken
to enforce a vote on naked repeal
That such vote will ever be had is
improbable.
The stage ef this fight has been
reached when truth can be told. 1t
ought to be known all over that there
are not more than twenty senators
who, in their heart of hearts, want a
VOTE A class claimed for repeal, and
who will vote for it on the pinch,
give covert aid to the silver
men who fight in the open. This
is the secret of silver defiance. 1t is the
index that every extremity of the ad-
minis tration will fail. Night sessions
will have no baleful effect. But they
must be held to convince both the pres
ident and the class crying 'repeal, re.
peal" that repeal is impossible. 1t can
be had If direct vote can be enforced,
but this can only be had with closure.
To attempt closure would only involve
collateral fight as bitter and pro-
tracted as the one now on.
The belief that the silver contingent
can be worn out is puerile. They can
keep up the line of debate year.
There is no power under the senate
rules to intercept The report that the
vice president could at some stage
bring on coup d'etat is idle. To 1T
tempt it he would usurp his functions.
So in the condition existing there is
but one final act to come. 1t is to make
u grand rallying charge. 1t will be
made. 1t will have to the super.
fetal eye the appearance of q
general assault. But it VIII not
be genuine. Men engaged in . battle
in which there is no fear of bullets
can be brave and bare the breast.
They can defy the forces opposing.
These men bid defiance. The climax
OF the struggle may run forty hours OF
continuous session. 1t may, and will
lead to evaporation and recrimina-
tions. But the end will te where the
act began. The plot will not be seen
even through the lenses Of glass.
Physical fatigue will finally ring down
the curtain, and then will come that
which always comes Of contention
compromise.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 7.-Many of the
most eminent judges of the state have
publicly announced their intention of
ignoring the state law passed by tho
legislature last June, and which for
bids the imprisonment or even the trial
OF criminals under sixteen years of age
with older ones. The law was the OUT
come of the efforts of number of
prominent humanitarians, and under it
all criminals under 16 must be tried at
a court held separate from the regular
court. This, it is claimed, will embar-
rass and defeat a prompt administra-
tion of justice, while it will also neces-
sitate keeping second set of dockets
in every county seat. 1t is probable
that proceedings will be taken with
the view of having the supreme court
declare the law unconstitutional

country far and near. How is it
then that at the end of about six
weeks the labor of giving places to
some scores of place mongers and
place hunters has broken him down
so that we now hear that he is going
to New York on a frolic, and thence
to Chicago to touch a button, and
afterwards to some other place to
seek much needed rest. In the
meantime every promise of the party
remains unfulfilled; every ante-elec-
ton pledge of every kind has been
dishonored /; silver is being daily
ricked up in the treasury gold daily
flows out; the ''robber tariff plum
ders at will. In the face of situa-
ton thus full of menace and peril
and acute distress the President
abandons his post, hesitates, and re-
fuses to summon Congress, and goes
off to hide from duty, and leaves
the country to the events of fortune.
If it is hoped or expected that the
long suffering, often betrayed and de-
ceived, but marvellously trustful and
patient people of this country are
going to tolerate such a shameful
abandonment of pledges and duty by
Mr.. Cleveland and his party, some
body is the victim of insane delusion.
That ugly events are at hand, who
doubts? From what quarter the
storm will burst forth, who can tell ?
The week began with forty million
bank failure in India followed by one
of nearly the same size in Australia,
and by the Steelton receivership in
the United States, and now the week
closes with about SIX million gold
shipments abroad.
It is in the face of such situation
that silver continues to be ricked up
in the treasury in vast boards as
useless as rusty old iron. In the face
of such responsibility the heroic
leader whose magnificent courage
gave policy to his party willis up
like a worm on a hot shovel, hest
tates, vacillates, is at his wits end,
and knows not what to do. The
policy now is, ''needs must for the

immediate cause for this movement
in favor of local initiation through the
issue of private notes as money I'M
der authority granted to corporations
by the States is a determination to
force the contraction of the National
currency, to prevent the coinage of
silver, to make gold the sole money of
National and interstate account, and
to convert the silver money now in
circulation as cash from an asset of
the people into liability, part of
the National debt to be redeemed in
gold raised by taxation on the people,
it is possible to have some idea of
the audacity of this conspiracy; of
the skill the men engaged in it; of
the immense importance of the is
sues involved in it, and of the abso-
lutte necessity that those who would
maintain popular liberties should
mass themselves to resist at any cost
the success of a desperate undertak-
ing which, if successful, would result
in incalculable injustice and oppres-
sion.
If the Democrats of the valley al
low their flank to be turned by the
plutocrats at Boston and Wall street
if they surrender the principle of a
bimetallic currency, freely coined !;
if they fall IN with the Northeastern
plutocratic policy of contraction of
the National currency; if they sell
the birthright of the people for the
concession of getting into local cir
culation lot of stuff counterfeiting
money and passing as money with
the ignorant, though under the Fed
eral Constitution wagon load of it
cannot be made to pay dollar of
the enormous debt we owe to the
Northeast-if this is to be done and
the sovereignty Of the people is to
be delegated to corporations which
with such a delegation will be the
peoples masters, then we will have
in the United States such a condition
of complete collapse and ruin as will
show what folly it is to try to divorce
finance from common sense and COM
mon justice.
