The "Extraordinary Emersency."

The Winfree case-the first that ever
resulted in a conviction under the eight
hour LAWS attrac ting great deal of at
tention here and elsewhere. The matter to
be determined is not to the overtime
employment of mechanics and laborers by
government cOntractors-for that is admit
ted-Dut is whether there was or was not
any extraordinary emergency" which gave
to the contractor the excuse for doing that
which has gotten him into the courts. A
jury has decided that no such emergency
existed, but il would undoubtedly be good
thing to have the case pushed through the
court of last resort SO as to secure d
definite ruling as to what constitutes the
extraordinary emergency provided for in
the statute The basic principles of the
eight-hour law commend themselves to
most people. 1t would be well to have the
emergency exception to the application of
the law duthoritatively defined, in order
that the law may not be evaded by broad
ening of the exception until it is as large as
the rule.

The declaration of Senator Palmer Of
Illinois in favor of Mr.. Mckinley against
Mr.. Bryan is noteworthy. 1t may practi-
cally foreshadow the action of the Indian
apolis convention. The question from the
first has been to whether it would not
be best for sound money democrats to go
over openly to the republican nominees. 1t
would be a union of endeavor in which
there is always the greater strength.
The difficulty will be in bringing the
southern men to this view. Politics in the
south for many years past has been very
different from politics in the east and west.
The line down there between the parties
has been much more sharply drawn Mr..
Mckinley. personal grounds, is highly
esteemed by many of the southern men,
but still he is a republican, and open cham
pionship of him on the stump in the south
by sound money democrats might prove
too much for any but the strongest of the
local leaders.
BIT the atmosphere is now so clear and
the issue so thoroughly defined. the south
err men will be confronted by very per-
suasive argument They are declaring In
their own resolutions that the Chicago plat
form, if written into law, would ruin the
country. They describe it as the sum of
danger and unwisdom, and they offer
themselves to help defeat it at the polls
Then why not. they will be asked take
that step which would best insure its de-
feat? Why not double the effectiveness of
their strength by voting for the republican
ticket?
second difficulty with the southern
sound money democrats is that they are
all free traders and have time and again
denounced the high tariff policy as inter-
preted by Mr.. Mckinley in the strongest
terms. 1t gravels them, therefore, even to
have to consider contributing to his sue
cess Indirectly. But General Palmer meets
this by pointing to the fact that as between
the policy of proteCtion--eVen Mckinley
protection-and the policy, taken in its en-
tirety, adopted at Chicago, democrats who
favor sound money ought not to hesitate.
General Palmers position is we'll taken.
Men who oppose the policy of a high tariff
do so on the ground that it is not as good
the policy of low tariff. They think
the country would enjoy greater and more
even1y-distributed prosperity under a low
tariff. But it is nowhere seriously held
that high tariff policy contains within
itself the elements of destruction. The
country can stand it-has stood it for years,
and prospered under it. But could the
country stand silver monometalism? Sound
money democrats are among the most en-
phatic in answering, no.
The silver men, democrats, populists and
republicans are getting together The
sound money men, If they would rise fuzzy
to the occasion, must also get together.

Mary lands New Election Law

If the Maryland election law is reason
ably enforced it will not be long before
Maryland becomes model state in all tina I
pertains to the operation of the franchise.
At the opening Of the court at Frederick
Chief Judge James McSherry called the
special attention of the grand jury to the
statute which has not as yet been used to
prosecute and punish. 1t is a good law.
There ought TO be such law In every
state in the Union. 1t provides that

city or county any person SHALL by force

ward, or offer or promise thereof, or other

With all Difference to Mr. Towuc this

that the government stamp can mako -

or raise the value Of an ounce Of silver

scheme for free coinage rests upon the
