y decision of more than ordinary I'M
p0rtance to farmers was handed down
by the court Of appelates a few days
since. which has direct bearing on
every person who OWLS pro. erty. One
James Anderson, of kankakee town
ship, Lapor,e county, sued two road
supervisors in 1893 for taking soil from
the road in front OF his farm and haul
ing it to another part of the county,
where IT was again utilized for road
purposes. He was defeated in the
lower courts and took the case to the
appellate court at expense of the jokes
of many friends, but the appellate
court has reversed the decision of the
lower courts, and it is thought that
Anderson will be awarded damages.
In his ruling the court shows that super
visors may remove sand OF gravel from
one location to another on the same
mans land, but that they can not
haul it away and place it OH another
mans property without the permission
of the man from whose property it is
removed

TIE Hos. GEORGE y. ALDHEDGI
deIYered an address at yesterdays ses-
sion Of The American Bankers Asso-
citation at Atlanta, Georgia. in which
he said that The proposition that this
government should coin silver for the
world IN anunlimited amount at double
us market value is so repugnant to the
common sense of mankind that il
ought to be unnecessary to discuss il. -
Just Why Mr.. Aldredge should make
such an assertion touching the common
sense OF the people of this country
does not appear. Opinions vary largely
as 10 q definition Of common sense,
and there are very large number Of
people IN the United States who are
equally as certain that the theories al
yocated by MI. Aldredge are as devoid
OF common sense as Mr.. Aldredge
claims to believe the advocacy Of free
silver is devoid Of common sense. Mr.
Aldredge also talked about "a portion
of our people" who ''haye been miSled
by appeals to their prejudices and By
the specious reasoning of sophists."
There is great army II people in this
country who are as firmly and prob
abig as logically inclined 20 believe that
Mr.. Aldredges expressions are gov
erned 10y prejudice as Mr. Aldredge is
to believe that the free silver move
ment is a result OF prejudicial reason
ing. Further Oh in his address Mr..
AlGredge said: we are the bimetal-
lists and the sixteen TO one people are
the monometallists lie endeayored
TO make it appear that lie silver adyo-
Gates are the enemies Of double
standard, and when he says: I'VE are
the friends Of silver money who would
bring TO its aid the power of u govern
meIt to keep it good, and they are its
enemies VINO Dy unlimited coinage
would take from it the guaranty
of parity by the government,
and thereby degrade it to it's market
value" it appears to large mass OF
people that Mr.. Aldredge is not free
from the use OF sophistry and that he
is making a desperate effort by an
adroit suDterfuge to win the frien Is of
silver to false standard. This seems
to be one Of the last and most foxy"
turns that the gold bugs have taken to
their position with the mass
OF people and it is not improbable that
the argument may make some converts
to the gold standard party.
