0ers Of the brotherhood, which would
raise fund sufficient to pay expenses
Of the iremen out Of employment on

Of the morning session. and will be
taken up again this afternoon. The

passage. ,-T
Another resolution introduced BY
the same committee which was adopted

sion. 1t contemplates new system to
be observed by the railroad companies

tton, but as we'll the assertion and protec-
ton were made possible, and only so, by
the consent Of the Scrantons to accept
the bonds In question as compensation for
their retirement from all rivalry with the
proposed corporation to be born Of the
consolidation. Had they refused to sell
their time, their experience, their knowl-
edge, their ability, the stockholders Of the
Scranton company never would have had
the opportunity to wire their con.
gratulations to William Walter Scranton,
upon the successful achievement of the
consolidation and upon the great triumph
which he had won for them. To quote
from the exhaustive opinion of Judge
Acheson in the court below: in
no proper sense were the bonds in con-
troversy profit made out of the agency
or hduciary relationship which here ex.
listed. They were not a gratuity, nor
were they paid to the Scrantons because
OF their fduciary portions"
"The two contracts were distinct in par
ties, subject matter, and consideration. 4"
These conclusions, 30 teresely expressed,
answer completely the contention Of the
appellants. We unhesitatingly concur in
them. The result is that the judgment is

The President to BE Taken to Task In
Congrcss-Withdraw of Gold.
WASHINGTON. Nov. 20. - President
Cleveland was perhaps wise when he
said to friend who asked him why he
was in such hurry to issue bond call
that he wanted to anti pate In a meas.
ure the attack that was to be made on
his administration as soon as Congress
meets. A dozen or more silver Demo-
Gratis have already expressed their inten.
tion of taking the President to task for
his financial policy. and the sentiment of
these members is illustrated BY the state.
ment OF Gen. Hooker OF Mississippi, who
makes the following indignant protest
against the action OF the administr n tion
in issuing the recent bond call:
This issue of bonds" said Gen. Hooker,
lis defiance of Congress. and It seems
to have been intended as such. There is
nothing in the financial situation or in
the condition of the Treasury depart
ment which made it necessary Tor the
President to negotiate this loan before
the representatives of the people could
assemble, and there would seem to be
every reason why the representatives of
the people should be consulted about the
matter. The fair conclusion would ap-
dear to be that the President feared
that his policy would be disapproved il
submitted to Congress, and he desired
to assume this authority for himself at a
time when he could not be interferred
with New York Sun.
