ERRORS OF JUDICIAL TRIBU
 NAILS.

Referring to speech by Bryan, the democratic candidate for president, the Globe Democrat says: "The socialists and anarchists arc greatly pleased by his denunciation of the supreme court for its decision in the income tax case, " and, therefore, calls upon "every good citizen of the country to vote against him." The Globe Democrat, doubtless through lapse of memory, fails to recall the virulent attacks made upon the supreme court for its opinion in the Dred Scott decision in 1857.
 It is not claimed that the supreme court is infallible, and there is recourse at law for criticism of it's action, as in the case of Thomas Jefferson, president of the United States, versus The Wasp, federalist newspaper, for the publica- ton of objectionable language concern ing him, calculated to bring him into contempt as the executive officer of the United States. ''The Prospect Before Us," Q publication by James T. Calender, containing defamatory language applied to George Washing. ton and John Adams, was the basis oi an action for islander, resulting in 6 conviction of .he defendant, Callendor.
 Senator Charles Sumner avowed that he had no great reverence for tho su' preme court. Referring to judges, he said: "They are but men, and in al ages have shown full share of frailty, and the worst crimes of history have been perpetrated under their sanction. Again referring to the bench, he said ''The blood of martyrs and patriots crying from the ground, summons then to judgment" Mir. Sumner, in hi arraignment, fortifies his statementi by surrounding them with the authorit, of ages, and brushes away the dust tha has gathered upon their errors, which i would be we'll for critics who perver truth to read history and abandon th' dim shadows that float in the twilight and there they will learn that judicia tribunal condemed Socrates to drinl the fatal hemlock, pushed the Saviol barefooted over the pavements O Jerusalem, and compelled Calico tt solemnly deny the great truth he hat disclosed, that the earth moved arount the sun.

A CAMPAIGN SWINDLER.

Claimed to BE Able to Give Out Cam
celed Greenbacks.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, June 23.-The
Journal announces the arrest at Neosho
Mo-, by United States Marshal Pearman Of a
swindler who had eluded the agents Of the
Treasury Department for three years. The
chief operator, who is known as ]. r. Bell,
alias James F. Swartz, is in jail at Spring
field. Along with him are NJ. A. Maginris
and Thomas Robbins, heretofore respected
citizens of Neosho, who are said to have
become his dupes. Bell claimed to be a
secret agent Of President Cleveland's ad-
mnistration, and carried an alleged COM
mission bearing the forged signature of w.
Q. Gresham, Secretary Of State, dated Au-
gust q, 1889.
The pretended mission of the swindler
was to distribute campaign funds for the
national administration, and he claimed to
be able to give out to favored ones green
backs that had been presented to the gov
ernment for redemption and cancelled. He
claimed that instead Of destroying these
bills, the administration stored them in the
treasury vaults to be distributed by him
for campaign purposes.
From each of his dupes the swindler ex-
acted an initiation fee Of $3.50, and he repre-
sented to them that the number of citizens
admitted to the brotherhood was SO regu-
lated that each member would be given
81 600 annually to distribute.
Notwithstanding that the scheme was
clearly fraudulent, the authorities have
evidence that the swindler has been exten-
sively working in Texas, Kansas, Central
Missouri and Tennessee. The swindler was
greatly assisted in convincing his dupes by
an accomplice in Washington, from whom
he received a daily mail, including treasury
reports and other statements that were ap-
parently sent to him in frsnked envelopes.
These were exhibited as an evidence of his
authority. Bell, or Swartz, claims to be a
Californian.

PRESSURE FOR TICKETS
Hundreds Wish to Zee the Hanging of Irwin
Ford.
The Condemned Murderer Maintains
His DOgged Afr-Win Die
Next Friday.

Warden Leonard Of the District jail
stated to q Star reporter this afternoon
that not since the execution Of Guiteau has
there been such q demand for tickets Of ad-
mission to an execution here as there is for
the privilege OF witnessing the hanging Of
Irwin Ford. the murderer of Elsie Kreglo.
Friday next. The warden said that he Is
being besieged almost every moment Of the
day and night for tickets Of admission to
the execution, and by about every class Of
people. But, as far as possible. he will
strictly obey the law in the matter, and
will endeayor. 30 far as he is personally
concerned, to restrict the attendance at the
execution of Ford to the number expressly
provided for by law.
The murderer, said Mr.. Leonard. still
maintains the dogged silence which has
characterized him since his conviction.
About the only persons he freely converses
with are his wife and child and the colored
minister. the Rev. John Roberts. who
daily visits him. For some time Ford has
been very anxious to be photographed, be-
ing displeased with the one made Of him
for the police department., and exceedingly
anxious that his wife should have better
one Of him. His desire was graufed yes

tographs of the murderer in two different

made at the Jail, the condemned man being
seated in the corridor near his CELL
Ford still maintains that he is anxious
to die, and expresses the utmost conf
dence that God will forgive him. That
is, as is usual with men of his class. he
believes he will step from this life into
one Of eternal happiness. Nevertheless,
the prison officials are still somewhat ap-
prehensive that the burly murderer will
weaken at the supreme moment.
While 1t has not yet been definitely de-
termined the hanging will probably take
place at IL 80 Friday morning, the sem
tence of the court directing that the man
be hanged between the hours OF 10 am.

Messrs. c. M. Lewis, W. w. Alleger and
F. B. Brock, all bicyclists, were present.
The object OF their hearing was to get a
change In the regulations prohibiting the
carrying Of children on bicycles. They
claimed that children could be carried by
expert riders safely as they could in
baby carriages, that no accidents had been
recorded from carrying children this way,
and that the use Of bicycles for the pur-
pose was conducive to their health. They
questioned the constitutional right of :he
Commissioners to make regulation SO

tion contemplated. A parent could Ger
talnly be trusted with mis- own child. 1t
might as well be ordered that a person
could not carry a child In buggy, and
