The Supreme Court.

Senator Hale. OF New Hampshire Proposed
TO Abolish 1t aud Create in Its stead
Different Tribunal-An Answer to Re
pubHcans Who Criticize the Chicago
Platform
To the Editor of the Register.
VIII you be kind enough TO give space
to the following taken from the Congress
sional Globe. Vol ], second session S7th
Congress, page p:
The following resolution offered by Sen
ator Hale, of New Hampshire:
Resolved. That the committee of the
Judiciary be instructed to inquire into
the expediency and propriety of abolish
ing the present Supreme Court of the
United States in pursuance of the provis-
ions of the Constitution which, in the
opinion of Congress. will meet the re-
quirements of the Constitution.
As the Republican party and its organs
are making such a war upon the Demo-
cratic party for its mild criticism of the
Supreme Court of the United States,
wonder how this sounds to these people
when they know that the man who ofrered
the resolution was highly respectee
member of their party?

Co~rr,,prInLE APPEALS.

The Hanna committee is circulating
ION the quiet" circulars among mem
bers of secret societies, circulars which
are tissues of falsehood, intended to
prejudice certain secret organizations
against Mr.. Bryan.
This is but one of their eleventh
hour tricks and show their utter des-
peration. Not the least remarkable
thing about these roorbachs is their
utter absurdity.
There is nothing in Mr.. Organs ca
reer that can be quoted as opposing
secret societies. Both MIR Bryan and
Mr.. Mckinley are members of secret
societies. But although this is well
known the dirty work goes on just the
same and the Hanna committees
agents are going about, as we have
said, ION the quiet handing out circu-
lars with the object of prejudicing GER
tain organizations against Mr.. Bryan.
1t need not be said that these circulars
are falsehoods made out of the whole
cloth. Every intelligent man who is
approached will recognize them as such
at a glance.

Special TO the Register.
BREEDON. W. Va, October 2S.-During
a political meeting here last night which
was being addressed by candidates on the
county ticket, "a fight broke out which
ended in a riot.
Torches. revolvers, knives and many
other weapons were brought into use.
The injured are as follows: Cynthia
Vance. stabbed twice; Sarah Browning
skull fractured. Their wounds may prove
fatal.
Joe Topping and Chris Ewing are dan
gerously injured and many others were
seriously cut and bruised about the body.
The county officers present seemed power
less.
Many of those engaged escaped to the
hills and are now in hiding.
The trouble was brought about by
number of persons becoming intoxicated
ON moonshine whiskey. 1t is the most nor
rible occurrence ever known in the county

ANOTHER SOUEAL.

Mr.. Hart. of the Intelligencer, who
thinks he can be United States Senator
if the State goes Republican, was chal-
lenged the other day to a joint debate
on the currency question with Col.
Poorman. of Bellaire. when Hart should
visit that city Hart declined. The
Register called attention to the back
down and Mr.. Hart replies that he will
not meet Col. Poorman, but that he
will meet Senator Faulkner or Mr..
fancy of the Register in joint debate
Now what a miserable "sQueal' this
is, Hart knows that Mr.. Faulkner.
who is chairman of the Congressional
Committee. is not making speeches. be-
cause he is too busy attending to the
practical work of the campaign. while
ne is well aware that MIR. fancy is not
a speech-maker.
But what is the matter with Col.
Poorman. of Beuaire? Is not the ex-
Congressman from the Sixteenth Ohio
district and one of the most prominent
Republicans in Ohio. good enough for
Mr.. Hart to meet? Or is Mr.. Hart
afraid to meet him? This is a question
the answer to which is not hard to
guess.
Col. Poorman. of Bellaire, has sue
ceeied in making our Fourteenth ST.
neighbor take water in fine style.

INSTANCE.

Here is a case Just reported to us and
it is by no means an uncommon one:
A farmer in Belmont county, O., rented
a small farm and worked it from early
morn till dewy eve and far into the
night; his wife and his children shaved
by his side. He filed his granary with
a good crop. In fact, his harvest was
so abundant that he had to employ eX-
ira labor to garner it.
But what did the farmer get out of
it? God had been good to him and
given him an abundance of the fruits
of the earth in exchange for his toll;
but the landlord refused to take the
whole crop the farmer had worked and
shaved in growing and gathering to
PAY THE RENT OF THE FARM!
Providence is good to the farmer,
but the single gold standard-the Eng
lish system-by which his products are
measured in dear money and reduced
one-half in value, is deadly cruel.

New York. October pa jury in
the supreme Court returned verdict
to-day awarding Bertha Robinson OF
Chicago. $4,000 damages from David
Weisenberger, of this city, for breach
of promise OF marriage. The plaintlh
sued for $50. 600. She claimed that she
met the defendant while visiting III
New York in the winter of 1884, and
they became engaged; the wedding
WAS set Tor May 10, 1894, and she pur-
chased an elaborate trousseau at con-
siderable expense and made other prep
arations for the wedding. The DEFEND
ant pleaded that he had become be-
trothed under false representations
and that. instead Of moving in high So
cial circles in Chicago. Miss Robin
sons family were beneath him IN stand
ing; that her parents had been divorced
and that her uncle had bad record.
Counsel for Weisenberger asked a stay
of 90 days in which to appeal from the
verdict.

TO THE OBJECTION OF A POET.

A poet from ST. Adams, who was
"once a humble integral of the Demo-
cratic party" and who is now perhaps
a cipher in the Republican ranks, wants
to know why the Democratic party
once loudly proclaimed for cheap goods
and now proclaimed for dear goods.
The Democratic party has advocated
nothing but fair treatment of the
masses and equity to all. 1t has OPP
posed the unjust profit of the protected
monopolist. but never opposed the just
profit due honest industry. 1t is the
especial champion of all who toll ana
demands for all of that class, be he
farmer or artisan. that he receive the
profit justly due him.
Under present conditions in this
country this is not the case. BY sys-
tematic contraction Of our currency
through the attempted maintenance Of
the gold standard, and the demoneti-
cation of silver. money has become
scarce, hence dear, and the price OF
wages and farm products have fallen.
The condition here is very similar to
IQdL eApItSStu ny Tic II loLiAAlSiA "-A''
having asked the price of an article,
and being told, replied contemptuously,
"Why, | could buy that in Ireland for
sixpence," and being asked why he did
not buy it there, replied, Because l
could not get the sixpence.'
This illustrates nearly the condition
of this country to-day. The American
wage-earner with a just profit for his
labor is never stingy with his stomach
and his family and never objected to
the payment of fair prices to his fell
low-toiler. He is not content to live
on comparatively nothing, as do the
workers in the gold standard countries
of Europe, whose tables seldom have
meat Of any kind some only at Christ
mas. many not then.
With but little money, wages are
low, and products are necessarily low.
This condition is not desirable in any
country. but this is what the gold
standard has brought us. We have
now over two and half millions OF
unemployed men in the United States.
A poet cannot we'll see this in the
light that a farmer or mechanic does,
but should he turn farmer or mechanic,
the probabilities are that he will regain
his intelligence and again become a
humble integral in the Democratic
party POPCCRAI.

STEVENSON TAKEN ILL.
The Vice President Compelled to Leave
Bryan Meeting.

Y
Chicago. October 29.-While sitting
on the platform at the Bryan political
meeting held at Tattersalls, Vice Pres
ident Adlai e. Stevenson was over
come somewhat by heat and he was
compelled to withdraw from the stage.
Fearful that he might faint from the
effects of the excitement the Vice Pres
ident had his cab called and he went
to the Palmer House, where he has
rooms. In leaving the stage door at
the place of the mass meeting, Mr..
Stevenson asked the assistance OF a
policeman, who saw him safely away
in his cab.
After arriving at the hotel the Vice
President still felt the effects of his
experience. but he was able to go TO his
apartments without further assistance
and he did not think it necessary to
call a physician. He was, however,
quite pale and showed that he had been
on the point of prostration.

HANNA,s nIRTY WORE.

AS the campaign draws to a close the
Hannacratic literary bureau is doing
some very dirty work in the faint hope
of catching or holding a vote here and
there.
They are now circulating by the mill
ion circulars repeating the old lie that
Mr.. Bryan is against labor and openly
insulted labor in Congress. In circu-
lating this falsehood the Hannacrats
show how hard they are put to it
how desperate they are.
The facts are just the reverse. On
the floor Of Congress and in the teeth
of a consolidated trust and corporation
opposition, Mr.. Bryan made one of the
most eloquent. one Of the grandest ap-
peals in behalf of labor ever made by
any statesman, and his whole course in
public life has been TO preserve the
rights of labor and the plain people
against the entertainments of corporate
greed. His present magnificent and
uneQualed campaign is nothing but a
plea for the rights of labor and the
masses of the people. But we need not
pursue the theme further. There is
not a sane workingman in the country
who believes the gross falsehoods the
desperate Hanna committee are circu-
lating at the eleventh hour about Mr..
Bryan. Workingmen are pretty well
aware of how dearly Hanna loves them.
