His Judgment Confirmed.

A draft for something over ST. 300 was
received at the Leesburg Bank few
days ago, behind which there is scrap
OF history OF more than local interest.
1t involves question of law about which
bankers and lawyers have not been en-
lightened, or at least about which they
have not been agreed. Two or three
years ago deed to some real estate was
left with the Leesburg Bank for collec.
ton, with instructions to send it to q
certain Nebraska Bank for collection
and returns. The Nebraska Bank col.
lected the money, held it few days and
then assigned. The Leesburg Bank held
that it was preferred claim against the
failed bank. The attorneys both here
and in Nebraska doubted it TO the. ex-
tent that it was difficult to get any of
them to take the case on contingent
fee. At last Nebraska lawyer, having
some authorities cited by the Leesburg
Bank, did consent to take the case with
part of the fee contingent. The Circuit
Court decided the case adversely. An
appeal was taken to the Supreme Court
of the State, and it has just been decided
in favor af the client of the Leesburg
Bank, holding that the claim was q pre-
ferred one against the failed bank, and
that it should be paid in full with in
terest from the time oi its receipt by
that bank. Mr.. Redkey's position on
this question has been justified and now
the Hillsboro attorneys and others who
were consulted and who held that this
claim was not preferred one may find
some grounds for changing theiz
lopinions.-Leesbury Buckeye. ~

1t has been loudly proclaimed again
and again that the Dow tax legalizes
the liquor traffic. The following from
the Ironton Register may be interesting
to those who have listened to such as.
sertions: "The sale Of liquor is legal
under the common law, the Federal
constitution and laws, the State consti.
tuition and laws. The Dow law simply
places burdens and restrictions upon q
traffic which already legally existed.
We are not questioning whether it ought
legally to exist or not but that it did,
when the Dow law was passed, and still
does, independent OF the Dow law, every
intelligent man knows Ten years ago,
there were over a hundred legally exist
ing saloons in Lawrence county. The
Dow law was passt d, placing burden
OF $3.50 on these saloons. The result has
been that in nineteen twentieths of
Lawrence county the saloon has been
banished and today only 40 of the 100
remain. The question has its practical
as we'll as moral side. Now, if the tax
of $3.50 has done SO much in suppressing
the liquor shop, another step might be
taken in the same direction, and that is
to raise the tax to $500. That will be
one OF the issues before the next legis.
lature."

The Democracy are very cautious lest
those who sustained the Union cause
should receive undue favor at the hands
OF the government. The detectives of
the government and even the postal au.
thorities are set like blood hounds on the
heels of every Union veteran. But, how
about the Confederates? Is there any
favor that can be extended them which
is denied? During the war the Wash.
ington and Lee University, at Lexing.
ton, Va, sent more men into the Con.
federate army than any other similar in.
stitution in the South. Its cadets shot
down the United States flag at New
Market. They harrassed the Union
army on its way to Lynchburg. They
bushwhacked our soldiers from ambush,
and in all of this they were sustained
and applauded by the authorities of the
University. Now, the United States
Senate votes that University $17, ,4S4 for
alleged damages caused by the Union
soldiers sleeping in its buildings over
night. Times are hard, and when it
comes to the cause of Union veterans,
the government goes into spasm of
economy, but no place else, and certain
ly not when the interest of Southern
gentlemen, sab, are under consideration.

When Illinois went overwhelmingly

DENVER, Col, Nov. s.-Governor Waite
has written the following letter to II. C.
Clark, chairman of the Populist State central
committee: II am informed that you feel
badly over the result. OF course a great
deal Of fault is found. Now everybody
knew that the old COW would eat up the
grindstone.' 1t would be singular indeed if
there had been no fault in the manage
ment, but 1 am persuaded that nothing
that was done or It undone by the State
central committee by any of the candi-
dates could have changed the result We
may as well accept our defeat philosoph-
ically. We have lost this fight but our
cause is just and, therefore, immortal. In
an especial manner / wish to impress upon
you my entire confidence in your integrity

Bequeathed by bleeding soil TO son,
Though baffied oft, is ever won. -

want him not only to reside among them,
but also to lead them to victory as their
candidate for Governor in 1896 The recep-
ton given Governor Waite on his visit to
the windy city, last week pleased him
immensely. 1t is not probable that If the
Governor accepts the proposition that he
will live in Chicago, but he will undoubted-
w take up his residence near that city
His Illinois friends believe that he will
are anxious to have him come and settle
among them.
