There is yet another call published
in this issue, signed Oy the omcial
representative Of the Memphis con-
vsntion. They call upon the 'honest-
money silver clubs" and all oppo-
nents Of dishonest sipgle-standard
gold money to meet in Raleigh on
the day above named.
Under these three calls the CAU-
CAsIAS hopes to see the cause of
free silver represented by a large
convention Of its intelligent and
patriotic supporters.

to ask if the goldbug Democrats are
going to fuse with the free silver

Will kingsbury, of the Whining

THREE CALLS FOR A NON-PARTISAN
SILVER CONVENTION.

Elsewhere we publish a call for a
silver convention to be held in Raj
eigh on September 25th. A reading
Of it will show that it invites the at
tendance Of everybody who favors
the free coinage Of silver and gold
at the ratio l6 to l, independent of
the position aud policy of any other
nation on this question, and without
regard to opinions or convictions on
other subjects.
The nature of the call is non-par.i-
san; in fact it is practically stated
that partisanism in any shape is not
invited. While this is so, we notice
that all the signers of this call are
Democrats. 1t would seem, if it was
intended to call q non-partisan con-
vention, that the names of members
of other parties should be attached
to it.
1t is rumored, however. that infu-
ence was brought to bear on Mr.. E.
&. Smith, who is the moving spirit
in the matter, to confine the invita-
ton in the call to Democrats only;
and it is to his credit that he declined
to consent to that restriction. On
his part, therefore, and on the part
Of all those whose names are signed
to it, ~ we'll rs on the part of hun
dreds of other Democrats who are
known to have endorsed the call, i,
is an invitation to everybody who
isvors SILVER regardless of the party
One thing is evident. The parti.
san machine" Democrats and al
their newspaper organs, the Demo
cratic press, are opposed to this con
veution. On the other hand, thos,
who have called the convention hav.
done SO without the advice of tn,
machine and in defiance of its oppo
sition, and have thus given evidenc.

THE SUGAR BOUNTY,

When the Republican party was in
power it passed law which they
claimed took the tariff off Of sugar,
and therefore made that article cheap
er for the poor, hardworking, down
trodden laboring man. But right in
the wake Of this munificent act they
passed another law which gave to
all sugar producers in this count, J
bonus Of two cents q pound fol
every pound OF sugar produced
This was paid out Of the public
treasury.

The most positive evidente of some
sense recently shown by the Demo-
cratic press of the State is to cut
short their attacks on DR.. Cyrus
Thompson for his remark at Cary.
They had begun their customary
mud-slinging and billingsgate, but
somehow they "caught on" to where
they were rushing themselves, and
they dropped that matter like a hot
brick. They were burnt a little
though before they let it go-bad
enough to let them know that it will
be dangerous to pick it up again.

passed another law which gave to
all sugar producers in this count, y
q bonus Of two cents q pound for
every pound of sugar produced.
This was paid out Of the public
treasury.
Then along came the Democratic
party. They repealed that Law. The
sugar planters raised mighty howl.
They claimed that the Law which
gave the m two cents a pound out OF
the public crib was on the books
when they put in their crops; that
they expected to get it, and made
all their arrangements on the basis
Of getting that much bonus, and il
they didn't get it they would be
ruined. In fact, some planters were
practically ruined. But you can
still find q lot of frothy fools who
say Legislation has nothing to dc
with production, business, &c.
The Democrats "hupmed" and
"hawed" over the matter until the
Louisiana sugar growers threatened
to join the Republican party, and
then on March I'd, 1899, the Demo.
cratic Congress voted to put the Law
back on the books, which gave the
planters their two cents a pound
The Democratic Congress did not dc
this to save the planters. 1t wa.
done to save the Democratic party ir
Louisiana.
But now Comptroller Bowler, Of
the Treasury, says the law is uncon
stitutional, and refuses to pay tn,
bounty. And matters are agai,
complicated. The sugar men CLAIM
nearly six million dollars as bount,
due them from the Treasury. Tn,
Treasury is now nearly fifty million
behind, and the Democrats are tryins
to cut down expenses. If they dom
pay the planters, the planters will g
to the Republicans next election, an,
that means that louisiana will STE

"Solid South" And so the miser

stockmen's Right to the Highway.

Alfred G. Brimm, road supervisor of
road district No. 2, Summit county.
plaintiff and appellant, VS.. Thomas w.
Jones, defendant and respondent; ap-
peal from the Third district court,
Judge Merritt presiding.
The action began in the court OF
Justice Z. c. Morse, of Echo precinct,
Summit county, where Judgment was
rendered in favor of the plaintiff for
the sum of SO and So costs.
The allegations in the complaint
were that on May 1893, the defendant
drove a band of sheep over a public
highway, situated in Echo canyon
road district No. 3 That said highway
IS constructed on a, hillside, and that
the sheep in travelling along the road
damaged it by destroying the banks
of the same and by rolling rocks into
and upon such highway. The damage
so done amounted TO $40, for which
the justice gave judgment with costs
The defendant, thinking that sheepnen
had as good a right to the use of the
public highway as any other citizen
appealed to the Third district court on
demurrer on the ground that the law
on which the decision was based was
contrary to section l of the fourteenth
amendment to the constitution Of the
United States. The law is found in sec
ton 20S9, l c. L. 1888, page r43, which
reads amy person who drives a herd
Iof horse, mules, asses, cattle, Sheep
goats. or swine over a public highway
where such highway is constructed On
a hillside, shall be liable for all dam
ages done by such animals in Destroy
ing the banks or rolling rocks into or
upon such highway"
The demurrer was sustained and the
issues found for the defendant, thus
reversing the justices decision, upon
which the plaintiff appealed to the su-
prenle court.
The arguments were made by Attor-
hey Van Colt for the appellant and
Attorney T. S. Richards for tine res
pondenlt, after which their honprs took

WENT ON A CLARK"
A Rich Young Blood Charged With
Forging Checks.

Chicago, Jan. 22.-B. r. Hagaman,
said to be the son of a Philadelphia
millionaire, is under arrest here charged
with passing bogus checks. The police
say this is not Hageman'S first offensa,
he having BEEN arrested a, year ago
for burglary and the theft of lot of
jewelry from Miss Ida Bennett, who
lives on Chestnut street, Chicago. This
scrape, it is alleged, was hushed up by
the young mans relatives. At that
time it was Thought he was also wanted
at Forth Worth, Tex, for passing bogus
and forged checks. kilograms were
sent to the chief of police there and it
was learned that all his difficulties in
that place had been settled by his
father. In several other cities it is
said young Hageman has committed
felonies OF various kinds and that his
father has spent thousands of dollars in
trying to keep him out OF the peniten-
tiary.
He is now charged with passing bogus
checks. R. S. Stephens. of 1864 Calu-
met avenue, the complainant. claims
that he sold Hageman a diamond ring
and accepted a check for $115 in pay
ment. He also alleges that on the day
previous he cashed one of the young
mans checks for 500. Later he says
he found they were worthless and re-
ported the matter to the police.

UNION PACIFIC CUT.
1T Means a Saving of Thirty Thou
sand n Month.

1t Means a Saving of Thirty Thou
sand n Month.
Omaha, Neb., Jan. 22.-The Union
Pacific management by yesterdays re-
duction, cut expenses $4,000 monthly,
and the executive officers are now on
the road TO make further reductions.
The condition of affairs on the Union
Pacific is made absolutely necessary,
according to officials, by the complete
collapse of business. Coal is the only
commodity moving, and the weather
has been decidedly against even this
article of fuel. The only hope of in
creased traffic in the near future is
from the orange output. The California
orange crop this year amounts to some
10000 cars, which is divided up with
the Santa Fe, Southern Pacific and
Union Pacific. Coming as it does in
small lots of a few cars ait al time, it
never materially affects business.
Oranges will begin moving about Feb
ruary l, and until that time the extra
train crews kept on for service will be
kept reporting for duty until the
orange crop begins to move. With the
orange output out of the way and the
coal haul gradually letting up as spring
approaches, there seems to be nothing
in sight for the Union Pacific until an
other crop is harvested, which will
give something Of an idea Of the travail
through which the Overland has yet
to pass before a return to more pros
porous times.

GR0ssCUrs DECISION.
A Case of Great Importance to Manu-
facturers and Retail Dealers.

Chicago, Jan. PA case OF great I'M
portance to manufacturers and retail
dealers has just been decided 10y United
States Judge Grosscup. A reitaH haroer-
dasher of the name of Schustar was
closed up on an execution and the
United States marshal was instructed
to sell the goods at public sale. A local
firm of wholesale manufacturers of
collars and cuffs filed as intervenors a
petition claiming that among the stock
of the delinquent haiberdaSher was a
large consignment of collars and cuffs
which belonged to them. The inter
venors claimed that three years ago
they made a contract with Schuster to
furnish him with a stock of their goods,
retaining, however, the proprietary in
terest, Schuster paying them at the end
OF each month for the amount of his
sales during the month. Counsel for
the Other creditors argued that any
such contract was clearly against pubic
policy, as it gave the consignea an APP
pearance of ownership and enabled him
to get a credit that otherwise he could
not obtain. The argument proved
weighty with the court, for Judge
Grosscup sustained its position and dis
missed the wholesalers bill for want of
equity. This decision Will have especial
weight with manufacturers of agricul-
tural and musical Instruments, as it Is
an open secret that retail dealers in
these classes of goods Sci. almost en-
tirely on commission.
