JUSTICE COX ON FREE SILVER
An Incident That Occurred in the
District Supreme Court.
Bryan's Election Would Mean u Fifty
Cent Dullar-A Pertinent Re-
mark by the Court

There was reference to the free silver
question yester day from the Judicial
bench, in the supreme court or the District.
Judge Cox was presiding.
The case was on the motion or the Dis
trict to coafirm the finding OF condemna-
ton commission for the extension of Thirty
seventh street.
Mr.. Gordon, of Gordon & Gordon. was repre-
senting the owner Of the property. and At
torney for the District S. T. Thomas and
fords were looking after the interest OF
the government
Mr. GorGon was arguing aginst the find
ing. Several times he waxed eloquent
as he proceeded TO show that the amount al
lowed by the commission wac FAR ton small
Your hoaor." said the lawyer rapidly,
''if this amount is allowed tn stand it Will
mean the payment OF 100 per cent less than
the owner is entitled to Tie amount
recommended by the Commission is L 90 per
cent less than the property is WORTH
There was a smile on the faces OF the
government attorneys as Mr. Gordon nien-
toned 100 per cent, and Mr. Jefords,
to correct his opponent. remarked that
100 per cent would mean that the jury had
allowed the owner nothing. lone hun.
dred per cent less must necessarily mean
nothing" continued Mr. Jeffords.
For the moment there was confusion in
the mind of Mr.. Gordon. He had evl,
IDENTIFY made a mistake. The spectators
noticed the hesitation. but Mr.. Gordon re-
covered his sclf-control. and, turning quickly
to the court, said with smile:
Your honor. IL was Slip OF the tongue.
| mean 80 per cent. 1t would be giving
my client so per cent less than he should
receive"
There was a smile on the face of Mr..
Thomas, and Mr.. Jeffords was weiIpleased
with himself. They had caught ms

Justice Cox was thoughtful II is a IA

argument of counsel TO sit well forward in

bench. 10 listen very attcntiyely to every
word.
On this occasion his face displa yed more
than usual thought. 1t was apparent how
ever, that his mind was not entirely con-
centratcd on the remarks in the case before
him. The 100 per cent and 90 per cent had
not escaped him, however
IL was that which was cnga sing his tten-
tion, for. as Mr.. Gordon referred the sec

He had struck the keynote and it brought

however, was again terminated by Mr.
Thomas answer TO the court. that it might
be good plan for the property owner to
take the amount awarded him now in
sound money, because If the case was
prolonged until after tue election and Mr..
Bryan was elected, lie would still have

he won his suit for twice the amount OF the

TUE ELECTION IN MAINE.

However much the Siiverites may try to
| make light of the result CT yesterdays
election in Maine. there is no use in at
tempting to deny the fact that it was
heavy blow TO their hopes and TO their
cause So sweeping "a victory has not
been achieved by the Maine Republicans in
many a year. No matter If comparison
hc made with the election of two years
ago. or with that of 1892, the Republican
plurality of nearly $4,000 votes, which
Powers now appears likely 10 get, over
tops everything on record in the Pine Tree
State since the days of the civil war. 1t
was a positive declaration from 1.-The
eneiny's country that it will have noth-
ing To do with silver. Silverites and silver
ism. Taken in conjunction with tho re-
suit in Vermont, it may be looked upon as
an Indication that there will be no serious
detection from the sound money cause
in the Eastern States.
The Republican victory attains peculiar
significance from the fact that Mr.. Sewah,
the Democratic candidate for the Vice
Presidency, is resident and leading busi
ness man OF the State, u circumstance which
sometimes fails into weight because OF
tie element of State pride The people of
Maine, however, appear to have discounted
this matter altogether. perhaps on account
Of the abscnceof family pride. Mr. Sewails
son having taken the stump for the Rep,b-
licans and Mrs Sewall being pronounced
gold Democrat. There is a disposition
among the silver men to eliminate Mr..
Sewall as a governing quantity in this
election, because OF its local character.
That claim, however, will not hold good,
for tie silver cause, of which Mr.. Sewall
is tue advocate. exponent and standard
bearer, was the dominant issue in the State
campaign, just as it Will lie in the Presi-
Dental contest.
The motto on Names coat of arms, it is
to be hoped, may become a truism md that
her course will direct that of all the other
States who have yet to pronounce upon the
most niomentous question that has been
presented to the people of the United states
since the life of the nation itself hung in
the balance

THE ARREST OF TYNAS.

RACES in England and on the Continents :
makes another chapter in the history Of that
faction Of Irish nationalists. which, by those
not associated with ii. is styled the party OF

alleged dyuamiIers who have been arrested

body. least of all from the great body Of

with the desire TO free their country from

by legitimate and peaceful means. They.

ruthlessly by dynamite outragcs. No cause,

The Irishmen of the Unitcd States and
of all other countries have given literally
OF their means to forward the hopes and
aspirations OF their compatriOts at home.
From the richest to the poorest they
have been always ready to respond to such
calls as were made upon them. They have
grieved over the Woes of their beloved Green
Isle and prayed for the hour to come when
her people should stand on equal terms
politically with those of the remainder
of Great Britain. 1t would be an insult
to them to assume even for a moment
that they would countenance, much less
aid or encourage, any policy looking to the
attainment of these cherished objects
which is based upon assassination, rapine
and murder.
At the same time the reports and ac-
counts emanating from Scotland Yard
should be taken with Il considerable grain
of allowance Though assassns mai make
common cause, it is extreme ely unlikely that
the Irish force faction and the Russian
uibilsts would have combined, and, be-
sides. the story told by the London police
authorities is altogether too crowded
with detail to he accepted as being based
upon facts alone. and not also "A gootlly
adnixture of skiilfuliy woven fancy or
fiction. 1t is proper, there fore, that
lyman and the Others should be fully pro-
tected by all the safeguards which the
law places at their disposal. while it is
equally proper, should they be proved
guilty of completely in any crime, that
their punishment should be measured
accordingly.

OUR CITIZENS ASSOCIATIONS.

With the approach OF cooler weather the
citizens associations in various sections
of the District are beginning to resume
their activity. Individually and collect
lively they have done so much good in the
past that the best results may be con-
fidently loo ked for from their future Ia
bors. With the peculiar organization of
government in 70 rec in the District the tx
ecutive being in some instances also a
semi legislative authority ard not directly
responsible to the people over whom they
are set associations of citizens who are
watchful as to the lax exercise of vigilance
in one case or oppressive ordinances in
another cannot be too highly estimated.
Their usefulness is as varied as the In
terests OF a great city. and as all are in
tent upon the welfare of their respective
sections and their action, therefore, is not
diffuSive, it follows that the sum total Of
their activity must be of benefit to the
whole population.
1t is notable and praisewoTthy that in
the history Of all these citizens associations
there have been but few, if any, instances
Of ax-grinding' for purely personal objects.
The work has been almost Invariably di-
rected to the accomplishment OF some
thing in which the public had an immediate
interest. 1t is also to be noted and COM
mended that there has been very little of
selfishness on the part of one section Of the
District as against the others. While, Of
course, each association has stood chiefly
for the interests of its particular section,
all have recognized the equal claims Of all
upon the consideration of Congress and the
Commissioners, and their work has thus
tended to harmonious Cooperation.
1t is to be hoped that this policy will not
only be continued, but enlarged, and that
the different associations may be able to
find common ground to stand upon, and
through a central organization urge before
Congress such measures as are OF i'm
portance to the whole District.

FAIR LIKED TO DRAW WILLS.
More Testimony Given in Behalf OF
Nettie Craven.


San Francisco, Cal, Sept. 14.-W. r.
Goodfellow, one of the Fair will witne sses,
gave his testimony today in the suit brought
by Nettie R. Craven against the estate of
the late James G. Fair. Goodfellow testi-
fled that he acted as legal advisor for
Senator Fair q { different times since May.
During that time Fair executed several
wills.
The first will was dra wp as codicil
in 1891 A complete will was written a
few weeks later. Another will was pre-
pared In 1892. 1t was also in the form of
a codicil. Two other wills were executed
toward the end of 1898. one being filed
outside the State.
Senator Fair, he said, seemed to have a
penchant for executing wills, and would
write one of these documents whenever
the fancy possessed him. Many of the
wills. Goodfellow said, were In his posses
sion, but he declined to produce them with
out an order of the court.
