Though these facts made 1t appear a.
IL the courts were maintained almost
exclusively for the rich, they do not
make the case ss strong az It actually IL
since criminal cases are included In the
non'COrporation cases mentioned.
So prominent has wealth become in
the federal courts, that many Of our
millionaires seem, quite naturally, 10
feel that they are above the law. Thus
we read OF the Dsbs trial in the Chicago
Inter Ocean: "a subpoena had been
issued Ror Mr.. George M. Pullman, but
no refused to pay any attention to IT,"
And again, Thursday Judge GrosScup
endeavorod to ascertain, by calling into
court several employees in George M.
Pullman's ofaco, whether that gentle
man had deliberately svsded the sum
mons Of the court served on him on
Tuesday or not" II you or /, good
reader, failed TO answer to the sum-
mons Of . court, would the Judge quietly
ascertain" how it came that We stayed
away, or would the "Btrong arm OF the
law" take us and shake usH
The proportion Of corporation cases in
decisions Of the national supreme court
has not Jet been estimated By the
writer, but it is very apparent that it is
q large part of the whole number.

question, Are the courts sustained by
the masses chiefly for the benefit and
protection Of the wealthy That is not
their purpose, 1t is true. But Ia 1t the
practical resultP
The wealthy take cases from one
court to another upon various pre-.
texts until the poor man, opposed TO
them, ia wearied out and in effect
denied justice as completely as though
no Magma Osrts had ever been heard Of.
Judge J. H. Humphrey, law lecturer
at the State university, said not long
ago that very many cases are now taken
to the supreme court Of this state simply
TO gain time. The case will not come
up for several years because Of the num-
ber already on hand. Here the rich
gain, the poor lose.
MillionRires have their wealth largely
invested in corporations. We find that
deciding questions for these corpora-
tions occupies most Of the time OF
the courts. Look at the Kansas su-
preme court, for instance, though 1t
is comparatively close to the people.
Choosing Of random among recent re-
ports, we take up volume 50. It con-
tains 155 cases decided during the terms
OF July, 1893, and January, 1894. In
AIty.nine Of these, q httls more than
ons-third, no corporation, public or pri-
vate, was interested In tlfty-fOur

Are Courts for the Rich OnlyR

EDITOR ADvooATE:-A few weeks ago,
at about the same time, two justices
Of the supreme court Of Kansas made
addresses. Chief Justice Horton laid
ASIDE the judicial ermine, put on the
language and manners Of the curb
stone, whiDky-joint politician, and vio-
lently hRrsngusd the sledge-hammer
anarchists of the Douglass house, out
Hsroding the judicial demagogS Of
Tsmmany in the days of Tweed, and
excelling in bringing discredit upon the
bench, the judges who helped Jay
Gould steal the Erie railroad.
On the other hand stood Justice Allen
speaking words Of sobeEnsss and truth
to the world through the columns Of the
ADVOCATE. Besides others, Mr.. Allen
laid down four propositions which
doubtless awoke thought, discussion
and investigation. They were: Q) All
Rccumulstions Of wealth are due 10
government. % Courts from the very
purpose Of their creation must DO pro-
teCtOrB Of property and conssrvAtors Of

gained by helping make America free only to render
himself slave. But he did not think about it.
He would have deemed such questions dislOyal, and
to day he was full of patriotic enthusiasm, and as
eager as his children for the coming Of the morrow
Sydney had thought about it, and while they were
working together to-day, he had shocked his father
with some highly unpatriotc remarks.
"Father," he had asked, suppose the British par
lament had won the right to make laws to govern
us-the right you fought to deny it; what more in
jury could such laws have done than those which
the Massachusetts General Court has msde2 The
government of Massachusetts has taken our home
and made us poor and it now watches us to see If
get anything more to be snstched away. What
worse could the king or the Parliament have done?
You fought to assert the doctrine - no taxation
without representation yet Massachusetts taxes us,
while neither of US is permitted to vote for repre-
sentative in the General Court, much less to be
q chosen member, because property qualification is
required and the Commonwealth has made us too
poor to be citizens Father, what did you get what
are you or yours to get in exchange for all your
privations as soldierP Pardon me for reminding
you Of your loss, but what have you to show for
that absent arm of yoursP 1t is wicked. If it was
laudable to throw off the British yoke, it would be
the republican government of Massachusetts, l
hate Independence Day celebrations They are
mockeries shows gotten up to delude us into belev
ing ourselves freemen while few rich men are rap
idly making us slaves"
"Sydney Sydney" exclaimed the Mortified old
soldier. "How can you say such things? Had it
not been for the Revolution the Commonwealth
would have been nothing but province ruled by a
foreign king. Had they not fought for freedom,
the American people would have been enslaVed.
Do not say such shocking things. If we have been
robbed of all we had, it was not the grand, old
Commonwealth that robbed us, but harsh and hard
hearted creditors and lawyers"
"But, father all the wrts the creditors and their
lawyers have sent here have been in the name of the
Commonwealth; the courts that rendered the judg-
ments against you and issued the writs were courts
established by the Commonwealth expressly to do
such things; and the sheriff is an officer Of the
Commonwealth. Every harsh thing that has been
done to us has been done by express authority of the
laws of the Commonwealth Of Massachusetts. So,
it seems to me, the creditors and lawyers have done
no more than make use of the instruments provided
by the government for precisely such purposes"
The advocate., 1895-04-10

The old soldier could think of no answer to this;
but he felt sure it was not right to say such things
So he walked away and became busy elsewhere in
order to avoid hearing any more.
Later in the afternoon Sydney stole away to visit
friend, his acquaintance with whom he dared not
permit anyone to know; mana real man-Who
was called "the Hermit f" and of whom in due time
we shall learn more as did, at last, his neghbors In
those days. Sydney remained till dusk, and then
hastened home lest his mother should be uneasy at
his absence. Arrived within doors, he found his
mother in frantic Distress and the children cingng
to her garments and sobbing bitterly.
"Oh, Sydneyl" exclaimed Mrs. Stone, and rush
ing to her son she threw her arms about his neck,
rested her face upon his broad shoulder and wept
hystericslly. ooh, Sydney What shall we doP He
is-snd we were thinking only of days pleas
urev The poor woman shrieked in anguish.
"What has hsppened?" demanded Sydney exCit
edly. "Fsther where is father"
"Oh, Sydney-they took him." She could say no
more.
"Took himP Who took himP Took him whereP"
"Jsil p sobbed the little girl.
"And there amt goin' to be any Fourth July !"
cried the younger boy. And he wept afresh.
"Whst has happenedP Tell me what it is. Is
father hurtP"
Mrs. Stone endeaVOred to be calm.
"About an hour ago the sheriff came; and d-he is
in jail while we are here. Oh, what" ResOlutely
holding back her tears at last, she resumed
"You know we borrowed the money to buy the
team the lawyers took from us last summer We
couldn't pay it back-times have been so hard and
they have taken your father to jail because there
was nothing else left for them to take"
"That scoundrel of StilWellY
eyes -Stilwell. The sheriff tried to get him to
wait so your father might enjoy Independence Day
and not be locked up in Jail while. But the
merciless wretch refused. To think Nathaniel lost
his arm-What fOrP No king in the world would
ever have been 80 cruel The Fourth Of July, for
sooth Why should zoe glory in 1t that monsters
like Stilwell can Oppress us now without Psrlis-
ment's restraint If were man, and could speak
like Patrick Henry there would be another rev.
olution that would mean something. Why, Sydney,
the war for which your father neglected his farm
and in which he was horribly mntilated, was moth
ing in the world but contest between the rich men
of England and the rich men here to decide which
rich men should enjoy the exclusive privilege Of Op
pressing and robbing the common, industrious peo,
pie of America"
The advocate., 1895-04-10

"I see that well enough" saVagely answered the
SON. land am glad you see 1t. Father will not be-
lieve it, though. This very day he rebuked me for
saying something Of the kind. But If you are not
man, you will discover soon that there is man
in the family there a0U be another rebellion and
sooner than you think"
''0h my son, yOU are not going TO expose yourself
to dangerP What would become of me, with your
father in" The courage Of the woman had
vanished before the fears Of the mother but heroi
Cally driving back her tears at last, she presently
went on:
"Don't think Of such mad thing. Why did
speak so as to encourage yOuP did not dream you
had thought of such thing, or I would not have
said what did. 1 pray you, Sydney, do not leave
me quite alone. Have we not had enough Of cruel
war for one generation at lesstfor one householdP
"Well, mother, have no fear. I spoke rashlY,
piqued by what you Said I shall not desert YOU
But, had better 60 to town and look after father
"No, no. 1t would do no good tonight. The
jail has been locked up by this time and you could
not get to see him. He knows you will do all you
can fear, though, we cannot do much, for moth
ing but money will release him; and how are we to
get thatP"
SyQney GnOugnG CnSG perhaps announcer somewhat

a jail; but he said nothing, and his mother con.
tinUed:

for him good share Of what had prepared for to.
morrow, so he will have abundance of food for the
present. and sent his good clothes and his pipe and
tobacco. You can do nothing but cause trouble and
make matters all the worse. Besides, do not wish
you to leave me here alone, anxious for you, too"
He sat down, as did his mother also; and she
asked:
"What shall we do tomorrow, SydneyP The poor
children do not fully comprehend what has happened
and they will be sorely disappointed"
"Let us go to the celebration as if nothing had
occurred Let the children at least be free from the
shadow, if they can be. We can 60 and see father
during the day."
So it was arranged; and Mrs. Stone was busy again
till bedtime. But Sydney's face wore look she
had heVer seen there before; look which troubled
and swed her. In his room and out Of her sight he
devoted much time and care that night to fixing up
the old musket his father had brought home from
the war.
