ESPECIAL TO THE rREss.l


Biddeford, March 1S.-Hon. William
A. Roberts, the editor of the Biddeford
Times, who has been SO sharply criti-
oized by Democrats because he supported
Hon. Charles S. Hamilton during the
late municipal campaign, said today
that he is not, and never was a candi-
date for the Democratic nomination for
governor.
/. This is not, however. the same thing as
saying that Mr.. Roberts is not Demo-
GRAFT. He was one of the speakers at a
meeting called in the interest of Judge
Hamilton, but did not take the platform,
because, as he said: 81 AIN not stand
ing on Republican platforms this year."
Mr.. Ro berts says that he is running
an independent paper. He supported
the Democratic candidate for mayor of
Saoo, and he was elected. He supported
Judge Hamilton for mayor Of Biddeford,
and he was defeated. In both cases he
simply acted under a conviction that his
course was for the best interest of the
public
While Mr.. Roberts is not and as he
says, never was, a candidate for the
Democratic nomination for governor,
he was freely mentioned in connection
with that nomination last year, and
will probably take hand in nominatin q
some other man, unless convinced that
the public interest will require diff
erent course.
His position is rather interesting, and
may be briefly stated to be that while
as the editor and publisher of daily
paper, he is Independent, and may re-
main so, as man he still hold that he
| is left to act in political matters with
as much personal freedom as any other
citizen.
AS an editor he may be perfectly inde-
pendent, and as private citizen may be
very much otherwise. Up to this time
his course in municipal affairs, both as
man and as an editor has been entirely
along independent lines,

Committee Stands by Resolutions.
Washington, March 1S.-At meeting
latlons this morning the Cuban resolu-
tions were discussed at length.
An effort was to be made to get Mr..
Sherman to move to refer the report
back to the committee with instructions
to disagree to the third clause of the
House resolution.
This was discussed, but thu sentiment
OF the committee was against such &C.
ton. The committee decided to stand by
the conference report. There is no doubt
in the mind of the committee about the
ultimate adoption of the reports.
Mi. Sherman holds that as soon as the
Senate concurs the resolutions will go at
once to the President, further action by
the House being unnecessary

The Gold Standard Advocates Are Growing
More Bold.
Day by day the gold standard con.
tractionists are dropping the mask.
They are coming out into the open
and throwing off all disguise. They
no longer hide their selfish and sinister
purposes, but boldly proclaim their
fixed determination to forever destroy
silver and to exterminate it altogether
as money of final redemption. Moth.
ing could be more frank or cold blooded
than this declaration from the finan-
cial writer in the New York Sun:
Nothing is needed to dissipate it,
the silver issue-''entirely but coura-
geous declaration by one of the great
political parties, not only against free
silver coinage, but against its specious
twin delusion, bimetallism, interna'
tional, or Of any other kind"
The enemies of honest bimetallism,
of the double standard of gold and
silver, of the hard m oney of the fathers
have now come into the open light OF
day and proclaimed their purpose moi
only to destroy free silver coinage
but bimetallism also, International OF
any other kind.

they will. They are forewarned. vii

UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT
DepOrted Cllinamen Relieved From
..~, Punishment.

Washington, May 1S.-Today Justice
shiras delivered u1e opnlon of the SUI
preIne court in the case Of Wong Wing
and three other Cinnamon VS.. the United
States, reversing the judgment of the cir
cult court for the eastern district of Mich
igan. The Cinnamon were sentenced to
imprisonment at hard labor in the Detroit
house OF correction on the charge of being
unlawfully within the United States
The court said that the United States
can forbid aliens from coming within the
borders and expel them, but when congress
sees fit further to promote such a policy
by subjecting the persons of such aliens
to punishment at hard labor, or by contis-
eating their property, such legislation to
be valid must provide Tor d judicial trial
to establish the guilt of the accused.
In the supreme court today Justice
White handed down the opinion of the
court in the cases of the Singer Sewing
Machine trade mark. The Judgment Of
the court below, the circuit court of the
northern district Of Illinois, against Sin
ger was reversed. The supreme court
held, however. that others using the name
OF Singer as a trade mark should show
the source of manufacture.
The supreme court decided today in
what is known as the Jim Grow" car
case OF Plessy VS.. Ferguson that the stat
ute OF Louisiana referring to the railroad
white and co1ored persons is constitutions
al, affirming the decision of the court be-
low. Justice Brown delivered the opinion
Justice Harlan dissented.
Justice Harlan delivered the opinion Of
the supreme court in the case of Hem
nlngton VS.. the state OF Georgia, invoiv-
ing the constitutionality Of the law pro-
hibiting running freight ears in Georgia
ON sundays. The opinion held the law
valid.
An opinion was delivered today by Just
ice Brown in the case of S. J. Hilborn vs.
the United States, affirming the decision
OF the court of claims. The case involved
the right Of 1iilborn as district attorney
for the district of California to appropri-
ate to his own use the fees collected under
The Chinese exclusion llw. Hiborn
claimed that he was entitled to these fees
in addition to his salary, but the court
held that he must account to the govern
nent for such collections.
