he held that the supervisor was not
an officer of the State until this court
has pronounced the registration law
valid. He said they we're not making
their attack upon the acts of the
register but upon the law which gave
him the power Of one. He con tended
that the right to vote was In one sense
a political right but that it was also a
property right and as such may be pro-
tected by the courts.
Edward McCrady, of Charleston,
closed the argument on behalf of the
State. His remarks were very brief.
de claimed that the court had no ju-
risdiction in the case and cited a num-
Der of cases in which United States
judges had held that courts of equity
could not interfere with matters politf-
cal.
Uponthe conclusion OF the argument
next Tuesday was set as the day upon
which briefs in the case should be
iled.

THE REGISTRATION MATTER.
The Indications are tina Judge Con
Will be Reversed

Inc are that Judge Con
Will be reversed
RICHMOND, Va, Juno THE South
carolina registration case came up
here in the United States court of APP
peals today before Chic Justice Fuller
and District Judges Hughes and Sey-
mour. From the questions asked
counsel on both sides by Chief Justice
Fuller 1T Is thought that Judge Coils
order of injunction will be dissolved.
Attorney General Barber, of South
Carolina, opened the argument for
that State. He began by asking the
court to suspend the rule by which its
decision would not be rendered until
the next term. The court said that it
would take It's Own course in that mat
ter. The attorney general then stated
That the whole proceedings were
directed against South Carolina. He
commended that the federal courts did
not have jurisdiction in the case in
which this injunction was granted.
Here the attorney general cited cases
which held that the judiciary could
not Interfere in matters political and
that 1T was not within the power of the
United States courts to decide a uues
ton rs to the rights of voters. Were
The voters OF Richland county practi-
cially disfranchised," said he, Every
grave questions may arise AS to the
validity OF any election held for dele
gates to the constitutional convention.
1t can not be denied hat this is an
attempt to stop an election" He also
commended that the suit was in effect
one against the State of South Caro-
lima and as such was in violation OF the
constitution of the United States.
Attorney General Barber stated that
II the complainant is u colored man
1t was not shown upon the records and
is an assumption of the circLit Judge.
lie held that the registration law
made no DETERMINATIONS on account of
race, color or previous condition.
U. a. Douglass, Of Washington. fol-
lowed Mr.. Barber and argued for the
complainant. He commended that the
registration laws were cumbersome and
we're intended to hinder registration.
This he said was the scheme of the act
He claimed that the act of 1882 wa
unconstitutional as was also the act of
1894. Even aftera man had registered,
said Mr.. Douglass, he had to have a
certificate and every time he changed
his place OF residence, even il he moved
from n house to another on the same
Dlock, he had to get another certificate.
In case he lost his certificate he had to
get another N and upon such limita-
tions and provisions as would hardly
be required for a lost bank note.
Chief Justice Fuller asked Mr.. Doug
lass II this did not apply to white
voters as we'll as colored, to which the
lawyer said that on its face it did.
MIR. Douglass also contended and said
that it could not be disputed that un-
der The act OF 1882 the voters who ar
rived at the age Of II during the
months OF May and June, 1882, and
did not register arc today perpetually
disfranchised.

Interest Is the Return on Capital.

Interest ID the kt0Curn on CAklCaAs
Behind the agitation for 80 cent silver
dollars or no cent paper dollars there il
a strong Populist sentiment which ia
vors the loaning Of money by the govern
ment to the farmers at 2 per cent inter
est. The free coinage advocates find
their strongest support among those who
believe that interest is usury and should
be abolished Or reduced to the mere cost
Of issuing paper currency.
What these Populists do not see is the
fact that interest is not really paid for the
use Of money, but for the use of capital.
The money loaned merely serves to COD
vey the capital from its owner to the
borrower. No anti int crest farmer would
rent his farm for 2 Per cent a year. Yet
under the system of government loans
which he proposes any one who wished
to buy farm could borrow the money
at that rate Of interest !; SO no one would
ever pay more rent than per cent in
terest on the value Of the property. The
Populist who thinks that the capital rep
resented by his farm is worth more than
Ter cent year should be willing to
allow the ow ners Of other forms Of CAPT.
tai such interest as it is worth to any
one who chooses to borrow it.

FALLING PRICES NO EVIL.

False and Unsound Position Taken by the
FREQ Silver Advocates.
In all free coinage arguments it is
taken for granted that falling prices are
an evil, and that it is the duty Of the gov
eminent to take some action to increase
prices, or at least maintain them at their
present level. 1t is OH this ground that
the silverites object to our present finan-
cial system and demand the adoption Of
q cheaper standard Of value which
would double prices as based on dol
lar worth only SO cents. 1t is this
promise of getting higher prices that is
the chief attraction in the free coinage
agitation for the farmers, who natural
~ wish to get as much as possible in re
turn for their products.
Though the delusion which underlies
the complaints against lower prices has
been exposed over and over again, it
still does duty in all the free silver lit
erature with which the country is being
flooded. Yet little reflection should
show the folly Of tho idea that high
prices for commodities are beneficial.
The welfare and prosperity Of the peo-
pie depend largely on the amount Of the
products Of labor which each can secure
for his own use Since the dawn of civ
ilization mon have been striving to pro-
duce larger quantities and better quail
ties Of food, clothing, etc. All the i'm
portant inventions, the new machinery
and discoveries in agriculture, manufac-
turing and transportation, have had the
effect of making the production of
wealth Of all kinds vastly easier. In
consequence goods are now far cheaper,
measured by their labor cost, than ever
before in the history Of the world. Who
is there who will say that this is bad
thing, and that it would be better if
goods were still scarce and dear?
1t is noticeable that the pretense Of
higher prices is made only to the farmers,
the silverites being too shrewd to try to
fool the workingmen with q scheme
which would double the price Of every
thing they buy. But free coinage would
not increase in the slightest degree the
real value of even the farmers products.
It would merely double the nominal
price, but as it would also double the
price Of all labor products which the
farmer buys he would be no better off
than under the present system. The
evils which advocates of honest money
know would follow free coinage may
not be admitted by silverites, but if they
are honest they must acknowledge that
an attempt to make goods more valuable
through debasing the currency would
certainly fail Of it's purpose.
The confounding of two entirely diff
ferent things, prices and values, is. at
the bottom Of the idea that low prices
are injurious. In so far as the money Of
country measures prices it must effect
every kind Of goods alike, and so gen.
eral decline in prices hurts no one, and
as lower prices due to oheapened pro-
duction simply means that goods can be
obtained by less exertion very few per-
SONS will be found willing to urge that
it would be wise to go back to the old
conditions of hard labor and limited
production.

", Their Work During the
Past Year.
MortOn's Annual Devoted to
Cattle and Their In
spection.
The Proficiency Of LifesaVors
ShoWn-Our Naval
Militia.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1S.-The report
of the secretary of agriculture begins
with review of the work of the bureau
of animal industry. The total number
of animals inspected at the slaughter
houses was considerably over Is, OOo.0 600,
an increase of more than 100000 over
the previous year. During the year
antemortem inspection was also made
of 5000, 600 animals. The cost OF III
spection was reduced to IL cents per
animal. In 1893 inspection cost ~
cents per animal and in 1894 it cost. Ia
cents.
Over 1850, 900 animals, cattle and
sheep were inspected for foreign markets,
of which $4,000 were shipped abroad.
Over %, 600, 900 pounds Of PORK were In
spected microscopically and exported, US
against 5000, 900 in 1894 and $4,000, 600
pounds in 1898.
Markets for American Meat.
Much space is devoted to discussing
the opportunities for American meat
products in foreign markets. OF 341 900
tons of meat received at the London
Central market in 1894, $1,000 tons
were American, while nearly $4,000
tons came from Australia. The Amer
lean proportion has not been maintained
during 1895.
In the imports of live cattle to Great
Britain, the United States and Canada
had practical monopoly until the last
two years. Since 1893 Argentina's
shipments have increased. During the
first eight months of the year, ship
ments amounted to over $4,000 head.
Although the meat Of the South Amer
lean cattle is not as salable as the
American, the business is profitable and
likely to increase. American cattle
sell, though slaughtered soon after
landing, at prices equal to the average
paid for British carcasses.

American Cricketers In England.

II the team Of Quaker City cricketers
that is to go to England next year does as
we'll as its predecessors Of 1884 and 1889,
1t will very handsomely represent this
country. Those elevens proved we'll able
to take care Of themselves against local
teams made up of gentlemen cricketers
from areas and populations approximating
those of Philadelphia. Naturally, says the
New York Sun, they could not beat or
ganizations like the Marylebone club,
drawing its forces from the best cricketers
of all parts Of England, and the strongest
counties were also TOO much for them.
But both tours were most successful, and
as the 1896 team will be made up mostly
or wholly from those who recently beat
Oxford and Cambridge combined in two
out of three matches, no doubt it also will
make oreditable record.

the pneumatic glove two boxers could cut

likelihood of serious danger and at the
same time give an interesting exhibition
Of the art of boxing.
