HOBBS RAISES HoR

And now it is the wall paper trust
that invites court to kick it out
OF its presence. It has obtained a pre-

Hobbs from engaging in the business

MIR. Hobbs retorts that the plaintiff
is a trust, organized to monopolize
the wall paper trade, and proceeds

TO COMMON SENSE.

Editor Matthews, of the Benson
Monitor, is in no danger of being
blown away by this silver gale if
he keeps as well anchored to conn
mon sense as he now is. Evidently
the babel has disturbed him and
made him think that there NAV possi-
bly, be something in it and that the
Old things may be passing away and
a new era dawning, where what was
is not, and what is never was. and all
things are to be spick, span new. And
In this he is like thousands of other
men who are refusing to let go their
common sense, and refusing to be-
leve that it has suddenly become non
sense
These things which we call laws
because, in the experience of men, it
has been found that certain results
follow certain actions, and that GER
tain actions can always be predicated
under certain conditions. are but the
common sense of the people, that keep
them immune from the microbes OF
sophistry. The pioneer out on the
from his house to the stable, and,
when the blizzard comes, with it's
binding, confusing snow, he traverses
the path to and from the barn in
safety by keeping his hand on the
guiding wire. So in such times as
these, when monetary crazes are cpl
demic, men keep their heads by hold
ing fast to the experiences Of the
race, which have taught them that
some things are true and immutable.
To others who feel that they are
losing their bearings in this none
tary tornado we commend the fol-
lowing communings of Editor Matth-
ews, with his common SENSE. He
makes his Monitor say
If we were convinced that free and
unlimited coinage of silver would ebe
of the greatest good to this nation, then
we would heartily support that PROPOSE
ton. But as yet we have never been
quite able to see the connection be-
tween silver and all other marketable
products, although it is claimed that
this connection exists. Silver adyo-
Gates claim that free coinage would in
crease the amount of money in circula-
ton, and, there being more money. it
would get into the hands of the people,
and the natural result would be that
good times would follow. But we can
not understand how this money would
get into circulation among the people
without their giving value received

man cannot take nothing and trade it
for dollar if the dollar. is worth a
hundred cents. You can't get some
thing for nothing, and when a person
attempts to do so he generally runs up
against a confidence game.

HAVANA, April 29.-Gen. Salcedo,
commander of the Spanish troops,
opera ting against Gen. Maceo, the in

He attacked Maceo's forces at PARA
HUGO. After a severe engagement dur

bravely, the forces of the government
were victorious. completely routing the

wounded.
The survivors of Maceo's command

in the mountains. The insurgent band
commanded by Gen. Carzon has also
been completely defeated with great loss
in killed, wounded and prisoners.
Nearly all the survivors of this band

NEW RAILWAY RULE.
Seniority in Service Must Make
Way for Efficiency.

CLEVELAND, o., April 29-It Is
rumored in railway circles that a new
rule will shortly be put into force on
the railroads in the Vanderbilt system
which, in brief, is that hereafter, Off
Gals when making promotions among
employees, will pay no attention to
seniority of service, but will consider
only efficiency. 1t is said that if the
rule is adopted it will meet with stub
born resistance by the men. 1t is I'M
derstood that the new plan will first
be put into operation on the Nickel
Plate, as a sort of "feeler."
Chief Arthur, of the Engineers
brotherhood, in discussing the matter,
said: 81 should think the enforcement
of such rule would be injurious to the
best interests of the company. Our
contracts with the railroads expressly
provide that when all things are equal
the preference shall be given to men
who have served the company longest.
If such rule is put into effect the
engineers will, L think, use every hon
orable means to combat it,
President Caldwell, of the Nickel
Plate, asserted, when asked concern
ing the matter, that if such rule was
to be adopted he had not heard of it.
