Decision Against Debs.

WASHINGTON, May 27,-The Unissd
States supreme court to-day denied Che
application of Eugene v. Debs, the strike
leader, for q writ Of hRhsas corpus. No
more important question with the single
exception Of the income-tsx hes come
before the supreme court during the paat
year than the attempt Of Eugene v.
Dsbs and the other officers Of the AmeEl-
can Railway union to secure q reversal
OF the sentences to jail by Judge Woods
for interfering with interstate commerce
and the running Of the mails Ia Che
great railway strike OF last summer.
Nearly third Of the railroad property
Of the United States being In the hands
Of receivers, this decision ia Far reach
ing.
During the great strike OF 1894,
United States Judge Woods signed aM
order enjoining members OF the Amegi-
can Railway union from interfering with
the mails and interstate commerce, and
from destroying property or inducing
other employees TO do these things. The
order was unhesdsd; Dsbs and other
union leaders were arrested and som
fenced to isil for contempt Of court. no
make q test case, Debs applied TO She
supreme court for writ Of habeaa COR
puB, on the grounds that their sentences,
without indictment and trial by jury,
was in violation Of the constitution, par
ticnlRrly its fifth and sixth amendments;
that the information upon which they
were convicted did not show any vl0la-
tion Of the Injunction. Also that the IN
junction was void because the bill ask
ing for il stated no case of which the
court could take cognizsncs and was Ia
effect q bill by the government Of Che
United States to maintain the public
peace and eDjoin the violations Of Che
penal code.
The conclusions of the court were that
the government OF the United States
was having jurisdiction over every foot
Of soil and over every individual within
the boundaries Of the United States
and that while it was one Of limited
powers, it had sovereignty within those
limitations. It has power to invoke civil
courts to remove distractions to inter-
state commerce and the civil courts had
the right TO enjoin those that made OBJ
struotions to such commerce. ThO In
junction was no bar to criminal process
seS for acts done in violation Of the
injunction. The circuit court having
final jurisdiction. its act was not review
able by the supreme court on q petition
for q writ Of hAbess corpus, and there
fore the writ was denied.

measure as violently 40 they did the

MI. Carlisle was in sympathy with the
masses Of the people, said: Let US, Il we
can do no better, pass bill after bill en-
bodying in each some one substantial
provision for relief and send them to the
executive for his approval. Il he with
holds his signature and we are unable
to secure the necessary vote, here or
elsewhere, to enact them into laws,
Notwithstanding his veto, let us
last resort suspend the 'rules and
put them into general appropriation
bills, with the distinct understanding
that IL the people can get no relief the
government can get no money These
are the words Of the same distinguished
statesman, who, at Memphis and Gov
ingtOn, assures the people that there 10
now no need Of relief, and that we have
only to eDj oy the prosperity guaranteed
by the gold standard.
"Mr. Carlisle, in discussing the legal
ratio, assumes that the United States
can accomplish no more by free coinage
than our little neighbor, Mexico. and
overlooks entirely the effect which will
be produced upon the value OF silver
bullion by the unlimited use Of It, in the
United States. In other words, he does
not take into consideration that the
United States iB in commercial standing
more than ton times greater than Mex.
loo, nor does he take into consideration
that the increased demand, such as
would be furnished by the United
States, would be effected by that pOr-
tion Of silver which falls on the market.
In estimating the amount OF gold avail
able for coinage annually he fails to
consider the great increase in conBump-
tion Of gold in the arts and the increase
in commerce in the last hundred
years. Mr.. Carlisle holds out no hope
Of international bimstallism, but in
sists that 1t is the duty Of this govern
ment to maintain q gold standard, and
tries to show that it will cause an Rp-
probation in che value Of the dollar.
"At the Memphis convention, Mr..
Catchings insisted that the opponents
Of silver were expecting international
bimetsllism. This seeming conflict be.
tween Mr.. Carlisle and Mr.. CatchinRs
can be easily explained. Mr.. Carlisle
belieVrs that the government should
buy whatever silver it needs, and there.
fore might be called a 'buymetallIst.'
Mr.. Cstchings is in favor Of the Eestora-
ton Of silver Af!er q while, II other ns.
tions will help uS, and therefore may be
called 'by-and-by. metallist.'

tion. A considerable part OF his speech

rOtsry Csrlisle's last speech, with utter
anOes said to have been made by him IN
1878 The telling point in Mr.. BrYRn's
spsqch were loudly applRudsd.
NS was followed BY Congressman j..
M. Allen Of Mississippi in q humorous
and interesting speech.
Mr.. Bryan said in part: ~ have read
the speech delivered by Mr.. Carlisle in
this city, alsCsthRt delivered by him in
Covington, KY, last Monday evening,
and have compared them with the
speech delivered by him on the 2lst Of
February, 1878, in the house OF repre-
ssntstives, and I am reminded Of the
language used by David in lamcnting
the death Of Ssul-'How are the mighty
fallen
"In 1873 Mr.. Carlisle was hurllng the
pebbles OF truth at the giant of the
Phillistinss-John Sherman. To-day as
a Goliath he daily issues challenges to
his former friends.
"Mr. Carlisle did not refer at Memphis
to his speech of 1878, but he did refer TO
it at Covington, and said: Some Of the
opinions then expressed have been mod.
ifisd and some Of them have been
changed altogether by subsequent events
and by more through Investigations Of
the subjects to which they related, but
on the question Of free coinage my con-
viotions have never been shaken for q
moment But hs did not state even at
Oovington what parts OF his former
speech he repudiated. He served in the
house and senate for about fifteen years
after the making Of that speech, and
never upon q single occasion did he at
tempt to withdraw the utterRnce OF 1878
or modify the emphasis with which he
then spoke. He explains that he voted
for free coinage in 1878 in the hope that
it would be amended in the senate, but
he never voted sgsi nst free coinage until
after the nomination Of Mr.. Cleveland in
1892. 1t is true that in 1873 Mr.. Carlisle
did say that he Was opposed to the free
coinage Of silver, but he ought in all
fairness, to have stated that he was at
that time opposed to the free coinage Of
gold also. He said in his speech OF 1878:
Il am opposed to the free coinage Of
either gold or silver, but in favor Of the
unlimited coinage Of both metals upon
terms Of exact equality Not only is his
present language contrsdictsd by his
former speech, but Q letter written in
1890 by him says he was in favor Of free
and unlimited coinage Of silver. Mr..
Carlisle in 1873 said: The struggle now
going on can not cease and ought not to
cease until all industrial interests Of the
country are fully smanCipated from the
hesrtless domination Of the syndicateV,

Potatoes So Plentiful That They Are Not

Reports to the agricultural department
show u decline in the conditions OF all the
principal crops. except oats rye and barley.
The detailed summary shows widespread re-
duction In the condition of potatoes, due
largely to drouth. Complaints OF potato rot
come from the northern and more southern
OF the New England states. New York several
OF the states adjoining the great lakes and
Missouri and Kansas. The losses from leaf
blight and insects appear 10 be exceptionally
light. The most serious complaint OF the
potato grower this year Is the low price Of the
product, particularly in the Northwest The
report from the departments agent for Wis
consin and Minnesota represents that in the
latter state the tubers do not pay for digging.
He states that the yield Is enormous.
Sweet pota,oes--Sweet potatoes have
suffered quite seriously from lack OF rain, and
their condition has been materially reduced
In many states.
Hops-The product OF hops is returned at
80. 8 per cent OF full crop. The quality is
generally very good, except In Washington.
where the louise and mole have done material
damage.
Apples-The continued drouth. the hot
weather and high winds OF September, causing
premature ripening and dropping, have re-
suited In loss OF over two points in the aver
age condition OF apples. The greatest loss
occurred In the central West, where the crop
