DEDs and his associates were sentenc-
ed to six months Imprisonment for con.
tempt Of Judge Woods court. Judicl-
al tyranny is fast becoming intolerable
and few more such arbitrary decis-
ions may cause a riot more serious and
dangerous in it's character than has
grown out OF any strike. When men
are imprisoned for demanding their
rights as citizens, it is high time for
honest and liberty loving citizens TO
rise in their might and enter a protest.
This oppression the common herd has
been suffering at the hands of the
courts, has about reached its highest
altitude, and it would be wise and we'll
for these foes of the people clothed in
authority by virtue of life tenure, to
take glimpse of the approaching storm.
When men are rendered the alternative
between starving to death and dying
on the battlefield contending for jus.
tice and right, they invariably choose
the latter.

The signs of the times indicate that,
before the sun rises on January /, 1860,
the great American uation Will groan
and writhe in an agony OF revolution,
and the streets of all her great cities
will be slippery with blood-l00 drops
of blood for each gem that flashes on

women, and 10 drops of blood for each
tear that has washed the face of the
poor. Politics is so rotten that It stinks.
Everybody knows it and no one cares.
America is nc longer a republic; it is
plutocracy. The President is merely
the creation OF bank directors, railroad
kings. and coal barons; and IL is the
same with governors of the state. The
poor whine about their proverty and
gnaw their crusts of bread, but can
always be relied upon to vote tor the
rich, and nine-tenths of them would
shoulder their musket and lay dowr
their lives in defense of the right oil

ROBERT LlNcoLN's FEE.

Row an OLD Judge Hoped the Young
Lawyer to Get Start.
Mr.. Robert T. Lincoln likes to tell tho
story of his first fee as an attorney. says
the San Francisco Argonaut. Old Judge
Logan, under whom no read law, had
always told him not to be afraid to charge
big fees for his services. "People don't re-
spect 9 cheap lawyer" said the judge. One
day, soon after Mr.. Lincoln had been ad-
mitted to practice, he sat alone in his Office,
when a messenger brought a note from tho
Chicago agent of one of the wealthiest in
snrance companies in America. asking to
have the title to certain piece of property
looked up. The young lawyer spent about
half an hour looking into the title, and then
sent his report to the insurance Office.
Pretty soon the messenger came with
another note. This one requested Mr.. Lin
coin to send his bill by the bearer. The
roung lawyer had no idea what to charge.
at first he thought it would be good policy
not to charge any thing. '.For,p said he, 10
himself, Il should like to get that company's
work regularly" But he knew Judge Logan
would not approve that sort of thing, and
he did not want the jddge to think that he
WAS needless of his advice SO he figured
it that, since he had worked Only
half-an-hour, ten dollars would be a
good stuff price, for it would be at
the rate of two hundred dollars for
q day OF ten hours. The words Of Judge
Logan, however, rang in his cars, and,
with q streke Of audacity VII ca almost
frightened him, Mr. Lincoln finally saade
the bill for twenty five dollars. He felt that
this was an outrageously high fee, and was
hesitating as to whether he would give It
to the boy or make out another for ten dol
lars, when Judge Logan CHANGED TO come
IN. 'sYou are just the man yFant TO see, ?,
raid Mr. Lincoln. and he told him CT his dt-
JENNA. Judge Logan took the b.is and ters
Il UP. Il knew It was outrageously high. .
said Mr. Llneoiu, but, judge, yen always
told me TO make big bills, and / did this
more 10 please you than myself.'1 s.Eon-

it TO the hoy. In q few minutes the boy re-
turned with the insurance agents check
for two hundred and fifty dollars, and a
little note TO Mr LINCOLN thanking him for
his promptness, AID saving the company's
other work of this character would be sent
TO him. Great Scott!" said the young
lawyer to the cid one; did you make out a

the side of the money power for thirty
years. The plutocrats are getting no
interest on this money. 1t was issued
by the government direct to the people,
and when it went into circulation no
bank levied tribute thereon. The
amount of greenbacks outstanding is
346 million dollars. Had this been is
sued through the banks the interest
they would have received on it at ten
per cent, compounded annually,
amounts to over five billion dollars.
