UNION LAW OVERTHROW.

Labor Statute Unconstitutional.
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-, June 19.-In
the supreme court to-day Justice Sher-
wood fled an opinion declaring uncon-
stitutional the law forbidding the dis
charge by corporations of employees
who refuse to sever their connection
with labor organizations. This law
was enacted two years ago and pro-
vides penalties ranging from a fine of
$50 to 81, 900 and six months imprison-
ment. The court holds that this law
is class legislation. A non-union man
could be discharged without notice
and the law would not intervene,
while union man could not be dis
charged if his discharge was based
upon his connection with union.

BRADFORD, Pa, June ia fire was
started yesterday in the hemlock slash
ings between Buttsville and Ormsby
and could not be put out until consid-
cradle damage had been done. Two
hundred men are at work and have the
fire under control. 1t is not thought
the fire will spread any further unless
high wind should arise. Every avail
able man is fighting fire, and their
services are worth from 81. so to So pei
day. The fires in the vicinity of Rit-
tersville and Keshaqua are now con-
fined to stretch of territory 8 miles
long and miles wide. Large en-
bankments have been thrown up
about Keshaqua, and it is believed the
town is safe, but a large force is
ready for any emergency. Millions Of
feet of logs and lumber have been de-
stroyed and hundreds of acres of stand
ing timber. Everything is as dry as
finder and burns like chaff. The sky
is overhung by smoke, and fires appear
to be raging in the woods near Sugar
Run and Weedsport. No news has
been received from that section as yet.

tary.
Ex-Congressman Sibley, of Pennsyl-
vania, the chief attraction, was intro
duced. He spoke entertainingly for
an hour and half, and was frequent
ly interrupted by applause. 1t was
very much the same speech in advocacy
of free silver that he has been deliver
ing during his campaign. He con-
Guided by urging the silver people to
get together. They should array
themselves against the monometallists
without delay, for the contest of 1896
would be between the two classes, re-
gardless of past party lines. Grover
Cleveland and John Sherman" he said
would vote the same ticket in 1896,
and those who are opposed to their
financial policy must organize and vote
the other way in self defense"

marks the committee on resolutions
made report, which was adopted.
After the usual whereas that ''sil-
yer and gold have in all ages consti-
tuted the money of the world, the
resolutions say:
unalterably opposed to the single gold stand
ard, and demand the immediate return to the
constitutional standard of gold and silver by
the restoration by this government. independ-
emily of any foreign power, of the unrestricted
coinage of both gold and silver into standard
money at the ratio of Is to /, and upon terms
of exact equality; the silver coin to be a full
legal tender equally with gold for all debts and
dues, public and private
Resolved, That we hold that the power to
control and regulate paper currency is in
separable from the power to coin money, and
hence that all currency intended to circulate
as money should be issued and it's volume con-
trolled, by the general government only, and
should be legal tender
Resolved, That are una1terably opposed
to the issue by the United States of interest
bearing bonds in the time of peace and demand
the payment of ali coin obligations of the
United States, as provided by existing laws, in
either gold or silver, at the option of the gov
eminent, and not at the option of the creditor.
