WILL BE KEPT OPEN
Chief Fuller Says the Worlds
Fair Gates Must
BE OPENED SUNDAY HEREAFTER
Mountains of Silver Exports and
Imports Billions Of It.

The decisions mean to cert
ainty thar the Worlds fair will
be kept open on Sundays and that
settles the case for all time as an
appeal would have to go to the
supreme court of the United
States, which does not meet until
October when the fair will be
ended. Every seat was taken
fully ore hour before the time
announced when court would de-
eide the case and standing room
was exhausted. Chief Fuller in
rendering the decision spoke as
follows: "Deeming it desirable
that this matter be disposed of at
once we should ANNOUNCE the re
suit at which we have arrived,
postponing for want of time the
full expression Of our views, which
will hereafter be given" The
appellees have submitted motion
to dismiss this appeal upon the
ground that the jurisdic tion Of the
circuit court was in issue, that
case involved the construction or
application of the constitution of
the United States and that the
constitionality of the United
States was drawn in question
therein, that therefore the appeal
for q final decree would lie to the
supreme court Of the United
States and not to this court, and
hence this appeal which is from
an interlocutory order cannot be
maintained, under section 7 Of the
judiciary act of March, 1891.
We do not understand that the
power of the circuit court to de-
termine the case was denied, but
that the appellants contended
that the Uhited States had not by
their appeal made the case proper
ly cognizable in court of equity,
the object was to the want of
equity and not to the want Of
power at all. The jurisdiction
Of the court was therefore not an
issue and within the intent or
meaning Of the act SO far as the
construction or application Of the
constitution Of the United States,
and the constitutionality Of the
laws Of the United States are CON
cerned, we are Of the opinion that
the order welcalled to review in
volved or drew inquestion neither
one or the other insthe sense that
the action of the seircuit court was
invoked, The disposal of the pro-
|'ceedingssof the disposition Of the
contentionSests upon the ground
as to whether the decis ion had
any reference to the construction
OF application Of the constitution
or the validity Of acts of congress
in that instance and the conclus-
ions upoE which the order was
based were invoked at the con-
struction Of that character. The
jurisdiction Of this court to review,
cannot be defeated at the instance
of the appelees because the con-
stitutionality of the acts upon

VERY QUEER SIGHTS
Unusual Religious Rites at the
Worlds Fair.
OREGON's FRUIT IS SUPERIOR
It is Stranger Than Fiction Not
Much Of a Hero Chinese Farce.

Unusual religious rites were OBJ
served in the opening of the Rus
sian exhibit in the manufactures
building Saturday. Strangely
robed priests held services accord
ing to the ritual of the Greek
church in the Asistic pavilion.
Commissioner-General P. de Glak-
hovskoy and other members of the
commission, number ofexhibitors
and others attended the services.
The ceremonies were conducted
by the bishop of the Russian
Greek church of Alaska, assisted
by local priests. The blessing
Of God was asked upon the czar
and the president OF the United
States. The bishop, dipping his
hands in holy water, sprinkled the
entire section, and dedicated it to
the glory of the church and the
advancement of the human race.
After the ceremonies the guests were
rendered a reception. They were
received at the entrance of the
Manin pavilion by Commissioner
Glaukhoyskoy and Admiral Kosna-
kof, and the members of the COM
mission. The famous Ivanhoff
chorus was sung during the recep-
tion, and then luncheon was served.

the representatives Of the most un-
tutored sasages gathered from the
four corners of the earth and the
islands of the sea, intermingled
with representatives of the oldest
civilizations, and other queer, out
landish people. The denizens Of

The Pcndleton Tribune says
several saloons quit using electric
lights last right and about fifteen
more will soon follow. A threat
was made some time ago that if
gambling was stopped, the saloons
would boycott the Electric Light
Company, and as they are the
largest patrons OF the company,
it would cause The company to
suspend, leaving the cityssin dark

Of their stopping the tights or not

The Example Of Kansas.

Kansas has again given an exam
pie to the Republican party Of the
United States. When her freedom
loving population repulsed the efforts
of Shareholders to add another State
to the domain Of human bondage
that heroic achievement inspired
every heart loyal to liberty for the
greater struggle which came but
few years later. The Republicans Of
the Western commonwealth have
lately shown that they are not degen-
crate, and, happily without blood
shed, they have compelled anarchy
and usurpation to retreat before the
representatives of constitutional gov
ernment. 1t required no little cour-
age for the Republican House to
force its way into the hall from
which its members had unlawfully
been debarred, and to defy the
weapons of violence with which law
less Populists attempted to bar the
entry. But courage and resolution
triumphed, and anarchy yielded to
order.
The enemies of the Republican
party throughout the Nation are
quite as aggressive and INSCRIPTIONS
as the Populists Of Kansas, and they
imagine, or pretend to imagine, that
Republican principles have been de-
feated and the Republican ranks
broken, never again to be organized
for victory. Let Republicans every
where unite and push forward with
the resolution of their Kansas
brethren, and their antagonists will
receive a rebuke before two years
have passed as thorough as that ad-
ministered to the Kansas Populists

Home as a Distributing Center.

Centuries ago, this description of
the unity and influence of family life
was written by an inspired penman:
1.-THE children gather wood, and the
fathers kindle the fire, and the wo-
men knead their dough, to make
cakes to the Queen of Heaven, and to
pour out drink offerings to other
gods"
Here is most graphic representa-
tion Of influence, and mutual help, as
growing out of the org anic unity of
the family. One idea seems to absorb
the attention and efforts of children
and parents. namely, to make salts.
factory offerings to their gods. In
this picture we forget the evident
physical unity, common features, COM
mon nature, stature, complexion, gait,
form, and disposition, just as we for
get the machine, and become absorbed
in it's action.

BOOdling POpulists.

Representative Burgard, of Wyan-
dotte county. says that Representative
McAleney, of same county, is liar
when McAleney saws Burgard told him
that Cy Leland offered him $4,000 for
his vote for United States senator.
Burgard also says that the populist
member OF the Dunsmore house who in
t-oduced bill number 800, to regulate
the inspection OF grain, put in that bill
at Burgard's suggestion that money
could be made by doing it. Burgard,
80 he says, worked the Kansas City
board of trade and got $500, which he
divided with the author Of the bill, and
the bill gas dropped.
Burgard proceeds: "Then there was

going out that way at that time, and
they came back smiling. I asked them

that they were. The fellow asked me
what expected for my work and I told
him 500 and he paid it. This is ali

Gold Payments.

From the Toledo Blade.
The populists OF one branch OF the
Kansas Legislature have passed q meas
ure regarding legal tender money which
either evinces absolute Ignorance or q
bull headed attempt to override the con-
stitutiou of the United States. 1t re-
quires that all contracts shall be paid in
illegal tender money" and then goes on
to define legal tender money a. gold
coin, or silver coin, or United States
notes, or treasury notes issued under
the act CT July IA, 1890. The bill also
forbids the making of contracts payable
in gold alone. They seem to forget that
the constitution OF the United States, in
article l., section x, declares that mo
state shall make anything but
gold and silver coin tender in pay
ment of debts," and that the bill is con-
sequently only SO much waste paper.
So far as it relates to coin it is super
huous, and 80 far as it relates to paper
money it is unconstitutional. Congress
can give legal tender quality to paper
money, and that body alone. As to the
clause forbidding contracts payable in
gold alone, it is unconstitutional 1t lie
equivalent to declaring that men shall
not make contracts payable in partic-
ular way, and the supreme court of the
United States has already decided that
question. It has declared that con-
tracts may be made payable in gold as
we'll as in lumber or stone or in a days
works. The people OF Kansas should
be ashamed of the ignorant dema-
gogues who had hand in this uncon-
stitutional bill.

The Soldier Haters.

Perhaps the meanest insult, NOT
only to the veterans Of the Union
army, their wives and widows, but
also to American womanhood, is the
charge made by mugwumps that
women have married old soldiers with
the object of receiving pensions after
the death Of their husbands. The
pension of veterans widow is % q
month, less than the average wages
OF servant, who receives board be-
sides, and less than enough to pay for
board, even at the lowest rate. It il
a cruel and absurd reflection upon
American womauhood to charge that
American women could be found will
ing to sacrifice themselves for the
sake of % a month, contingent upon
the death of their husbands.
This insult to soldiers wives and
widows is Of piece with the injury
to the one-aImed and one-legged vet
Grams, who are accused by Democrats
and mugwumps in Congress of cheat
ing the government by making arti-
fetal limbs last only three years,
when they ought, the critics claim,
to last for five years. The pain and
inconvenience to be caused to the
MANNED heroes by being made to
stump about with WORKOUT, artifl-
cial limb are Of no consequence to
men who themselves took care to
send substitutes, or to escape the
draft altogether under the friendly
shelter Of the British flag. Probably
they reason that whatever incon-
venience the veterans suffer through
economy" on the part Of Demo
cratic administration is no more than
proper punishment for having gone
to the war and helped to put down
the Democratic slave-labor rebellion.

episodes in Congress, when John

defining what he conceived to be

Brown be punished. Mr.. Lamar op-
