INTERESTING BOND DECISION.
Two-Thirds Vote of the TOwnspeO pie
Decided to Be Requisite.

Two-Thirds Vote of the Townspeo pie
Decided to Be Requisite.
CLEVELAND, o. May 25.-Judge Kicks,
sitting in the United States court, yes
terday handed down a decision which
establishes an important precedent and
indirectly affects millions of dollars
worth of municipal bonds issued on the
authority of special legislation and not
authorized by a popular vote of the
people living in the town or city by
which the bonds are issued.
Bonds issued without a two-thirds
vote of the people are practically de-
clared to be worthless. It is said
that millions of dollars worth Of
bonds have been issued by the various
towns and cities throughout the state
which will be affected by this decision.
Another phase of the case is the pos
sibility of such bonds being redeemed.
Such redemption could be restrained
by any taxpayer on the ground that
the act by which they were issued was
constitutional.

CLEVELAND TO EDITORS.

The President Writes a Letter to the Dem.
ocratic Newspaper Men of New York.
New YORK. May 25.-The two days
stay of the democratic editors came to
an end last night when banquet was
rendered them at Delmonieo's. Col.
William Brown was toast-master. He
introduced John A. Mason, who read
letter from President Cleveland which
expressed regret at his inability to be
present, saying:
''When a campaign is actively on
foot to force the free, unlimited and
independent coinage of silver by the
government at ratio which will add
to our circulation unrestrained mil
lions of so-called dollars, intrinsically
worth but half the amount they pur-
port to represent, with no provision or
resource to make good any deficiency
in value, and when it is claimed
that such proposition has any re-
lation to the principles of democracy,
it is time for all who may in
the least degree influence demo-
cratic thought to realize the res ponsi-
bility. Our party is the party of the
people. not because it is drifted hGther
and thither by every wave of popular
excitement and misconception, but be-
cause, while it tests every proposition
by the doctrines which underlie it's or
ganization, it insists that all interests
should be defended in the administra-
ton of the government, without es-
pecial favor or discrimination. Our
party is the party of the people,
because in its care for the well
fare of all our countrymen it
resists dangerous schemes, born
of discomfort; advocates, by APP
peals to sectional or class prejudices
and reinforced by the insidious acts of
private selfshness and cupidity. Above
all, our party is the party of the peo-
pie, when it recognizes the fact that
sound and absolutely safe money is the
life blood of our country's strength
and prosperity, and when it teaches
that none of our fellow-citizens, rich
or poor, great or humble, can escape
the consequences of degeneration of
our currency. Democratic care and
conservatism dictate that if there
exist inconvenience and hardship re-
sulting from the congestion or imper-
feet distribution of our. circulating
medium, remedy should be applied
which will avoid the disaster that must
follow in the trail of silver mono
netallism.'

Oakland, April 2G.-(SpeciaD The
repairs on Cascade Wooden Mill were COM
peted so as to begin work, Friday morn
Ing, but they were unable to do so, on
account of a strike among the employees
The cause of the trouble is cut in

months, and the employees demand a
restoration of wages to the old scale.
The mills have been running on full
time and doing Il good business since the
cut.

Lewiston has one of the very best
players of the league in Catcher Burke
If the weather permits the Kennebecs
will open the league season, today, with
tho Brocktons at Brockton. The result
of the contest will be anxiously awaited.
The Kennebecs' new suits were re-
ceived Thursday afternoon, and will be
used for the first time in today's game al
Brockton. They are pearl gray with
maroon trimmings
King has proven very valuable find
for MIR. Burnham. He is fine hitter,
plays strong game on both the in and
outfield, and. best of all gives promise of
making a flrst-class pitcher.
The makeup of the Remedies for the
opening league game at Brockton, today,
will probably be as follows: Pickett, | f. !;
McCaIthyr. f. Doherty, 3 b. McGoachy,
b.. Donahue, CT Smith, 2 b.; Bean,
SIS; Kelley, C King, p.
Smith, the new second baseman of the
Remedies, has shown up finely in
practice. He is sure handed and u fine
thrower. He also gives evidence in
practice Of being a strong batsman. There
is reason to believe he will be strong
man for the team.
The Brocktons beat the Boston Unions
II to g. The Brockton Times concludes
the account of the game as follows: "The
team as whole showed up in n way that
whetted the appetite of the cranks for the
league feast, or sacrifice of Saturday next,
when Walter Burnham and. his Maine
woodchoppers will make their first ap
pearance and open the league seasn.'
Manager Durham now has four
pitchers on the string. viz: Hobbs, Nc
Cam, McTerr and Tierney. He hopes
that at least one of them will prove to be
a slayer. Just now the big clubs are all
overloaded with pitchers and 1t is very
difficult to secure good men for the box.
In a week or two, however, they will be-
gin to release their surplus men, and it is
entirely safe to say that live manager
like Walter Burnham will have no diff
Guilty in securing one or two first class
twirlers for his team.
1t would be almost too much to expect
Manager Burnham' men to beat Brock
ton, today. The latter team is made up
largely of old players who have had about
five times as much practice together this
spring as the Remedies have been able to
secure They are also reported to be very
strong in pitchers, position where, as
yet, Manager Burnham has not been abe
to make his team as strong as he purposes
to before the season is very far advanced.
The chances are therefore, that, playing
on their home grounds, with all the con
ditions in their favor, the Brochtons will
win the game. If the Remedies put up
a stiff game, however, and show them |
selves capable ball players, their friends
will be satisfied.
