CHICAGO, Jan. 20.-The defense in the
Debs conspiracy trial received a heavy
blow today on the adverse ruling by
Judge Crosscups on the objection raised
to the admission of evidence as to overt
acts, unless it could be shown that they
we're done by the knowledge and under
the direction of officers and directors of
the A. r. L. to obstruct the mails.
Judge Crosscup held that evidence could
be introduced tending to show that a
conspiracy existed to stop all trains, and
this would include necessarily Il con-
spiracy to stop the United States mails.
In other words, the greater conspiracy
to include the less.

Eitrhir, the Accu>er OF Judge Kicks
Nulcttd for +! 800 q

CLEVELAND, Jan. pa decree has
been filed in The United States circuit
court here in which four judgments ag-
gregatIng nearly Sl,5OU,OUu were rem
dred against Samuel j. Richie in favor
of J.. Il. and q. w. McMullen, Judge
Burke, eX- Senator Payne, and the estate
of Z. w. Cornell. The decree awaits the
signature Of Judge Kicks, who was
called to Washington to defend himself
against taking illegal fees while clerk OF
the court OF which he is now judge,
1t was in connection with this case
that Richie charged Kicks before con
gress with conspirlng with Payne, Burke
and others TO defraud him. Ritchie's
charge was sent to the house judiciary
committee to be considered in connec
ton with the charge OF taking illega
fees, but apparently it was ignored.

folly equalled only by the oppo-
sition to the repeal of the Sher-
man bill, or the foisting of the popu-
list income tax upon the country. 1t is
difficult to discover why the friends of
bimetallic coinage should object to the
elimination of greenback paper currency,
which it is now 30 generally conceded
should be Cancelled. Yet most of the adj
vocates of silver in congress, with char
acteristic unwisdom, seek to regard 1T as
their duty to antagonize every sugges-
ton in aid of monetary reform unless
coupled with a full and instant relief
which they seek.
