All the advertising contracts placed
by the Cheney Medicine Co.. OF Tole-
do. o.. contain a clause to the effect
that if the Legislature of the State in
which the newspaper is published or
Congress shall make any law Interior
ing with or restricting the sale of pro-
prietary goods, the contract shall he
void. When such a bill is introduced
in the Legislature OF any State. Mr..
Cheney says that all be has to do to
stop its passage is to call the attention
OF the newspapers in such State to this
clause in his contracts. and they Go
the rest. In speaking OF this at the
recent meeting of the Proprietors' AS
ISOLATION, Mr.. Cheney explained that
this was much cheaper than keeping a
lobbyist at the various capitals, and
subscribing $500. as hehad been asked
to do in the State of Illinois. to be
used in the suppression of blackmail'
ing measures. 1t is propable thai
other medicine advertisers will follow
the example set by Mr.. Cheney.

The right of the federal government.
through the United States courts, to
enjoin interferencewith interstate com-
merce has once more been affirmed by
the decision at ST. Louis III the case
before the circuit court on demurrer to
the governments petition for an III
junction against Debs and the Ameri-
can Railway union. This new decision
permits United States courts to enjoin.
in advance of any actual outbreak. all
combinations or conspiracies on the
part OF railway employees which have
for their object the stoppage of trains,
no matter what the grievance. The
court also permits iniunctions. en-
forceable by all the power of the fed
eral government, against interference
with interstate commerce or the run
ming of trains on the part of strikers
or ruffians after a strike has been de-
clared for legitimate reasons. Evil
IDENTIFY we have within a short time ad,
vanced rapidly towards a solution Of
the legal status of strikes and strikers.
Our late legislation against trusts and
combinations, according to these de
cisions, applies to employees as we'll as
to corporations-which seems to agree
with natural justice.

The Chinese Emperor and the Tam
many tiger should get together and
hold a mass meeting. The flavor
of defeat is undeniably increased in
bitterness whenthedish is an unfamiliar
one: and these two monarchs having
enjoyed in their separate ways the ex-
%hilarating effects of absolute power
must grievously miss the sensation.
1t may console them in their misfor-
tunes to be reminded that absolutism
is out of fashion. and hat not being
able to do as You please is only
the common lot. after all. This is cold
comfort. but an uncommonly whole
some sort in the long run.

The newspapers of the large cities

claim that the price charged for bread
is the 1same now as when flour cost
twice what it now costs. The New
York Herald says an eighteen ounce

cents. andeven at that price the bakers,
it says. would make one hundred per
cent clear money.

Justice Brewer, of the United States
Supreme court. holds the Nebraska
maximum freight law to be inopera-

ed to do business at a loss.

Knock the bottom out of the gold
vaults of the Treasury and then try to
keep it full by selling bonds and piling

Mr.. Cleveland's idea of maintaining
the gold reserve.
The Cape Girardeau Democrat. (Cape Girardeau, Mo.) 1876-1909, 1894-11-24

A bond issue for buying gold when
gold can be drawn out of the Treas
ury on demand is a most ingenious
device to enable the taxpayers of the
country to pay interest on their own
money. Financiering has seldommade
a higher fight than this.

Under the new japanese treaty with
the United States. Japan will have the

that Japan was compelled to surrender
jurisdiction over resident foreigners
who violate japanese laws.
