BOTH TICKETS KNOCKED OUT.
Action Of the Court in the Twentieth
Ward " uddlc.

Court yesterday gave it's decision in
the dispute between the two factions of
Twentieth ward Democrats. both of
cratic nominees. The decision is to the
effect that neither the ticket headed
by John Gibbons or the one on which
Joseph l.. Hannick Is the candidate for
school controller has any right on the
official ballot in the column assigned to
Democratic nominees. In other words,
neither is regular Democratic ticket.
From this decision Judge Edwards dis
scented. All of the candidates have
filed nomination papers and the fight
will go on just the same.
The hearing in the matter took up all
of Saturday, and yesterday the argu-
ment of counsel was made before the
three judges. While Attorney Comegys
was arguing for the Hannick contin-
gent he was frequently Interrupted by
Judge Gunster, who declared himself
warmly about the manner in which the
caucus was conducted. His honor was
deeply convinced that there was great
irregularity; the call for the caucus. the
court said. did not show whether it was
to be a Democratic. Republican, Prohi-
bition or Populst gathering.
Judges Held a Conference.
When the arguments were over the
three judges left the bench and retired
to Judge Archbalds chamber to con-
suit together. After short time they
reappeared and Judge Archibald stated
that a majority of the Judges were of
the opinion that neither set of candi-
dates Is entitled to go in the Democratic
column.
Judge Edwards said that he dis
sented from this ruling. he being of the
opinion that the candidates headed by
Mr.. Gibbons We're entitled to the place
on the ticket IN the Democratic column.
The judge believes, because the caucus
was called by Democratic committee
man that it was n Democratic caucus
and the result was the will of the people
and that it should be heard.

II. Pearcc. in Elm Park church yester-
day morning, Rev. DR.. l.. c. Floyd read
Il paper entitled "Superanuates."
DR.. Floyd assumed that superanu-
ated preachers should be supported ac-
cording TO their term of service instead
of according to their needs. as at pres
ent. For instance. If minister has
been for twenty years actively engaged
in the ministry he should receive double
the financial aid of one who had served
but ten years. Dr. Floyd's views have
been advanced in the Methodist minis
try generally for many years.

"The Populists of North Carolin,

IL goes into a town, gets out one issue,
and goes on 60 the next town. ''-Au.
gusta ga Daily Tribune.
There is evidently IA slight error in
the above. 1t should read, 1.-The Popu-
lists of North Carolina have established
a newspaper with wheels" In this re-
spect the North Carolina paper does not
differ from the rest of the Populist and
silverite organs throughout the country.
They are all run and edited by men
with wheels in their heads, some of
them with beautiful silver cartwheels
which make 2I0 revolutions per min
ute. The buZzing of the wheels is often
mistaken for thoughts on the currency
question, and the unfortunate who has
them writes down what he thinks thcy
say and prints it as an argument for
free coinage.
In addition TO the 10 to / wheel,
there rs the fiat money wheel, with
crank attachment; the debt repudia.
tion wheel; the wheel of government
loans ON farm products; and other sim
liar machines. 1t should be easy for the
North Carolina Populists to start a
thousand papers with wheels right in
their own state.

Copper.

That consumers have waited much too
long before covering their wants il now
plainly shown by the course of the mar
ket. For weeks past we have pointed out
that there is firmer tendency beneath
the surface in consequence of continued
and large orders received from Europe,
but home consumers did not then avail
themselves of the opportunities offered
and obstinately refused to take in sup
plies, believing always that fairly large
stocks had accumulated with producers
here. After our last report went to press
il became known that the Calumet and
Hecla company had made large sales on
the basis of IL cents, for delivery over the
next three or four months. Since then
thev had to close their books, and are
now out of the market, an example
which was speedily followed by the other
producers of Lake copper. The demand
since developed shows that a great many
consumers are not Vet covered, and in
the meantime 1lh@1lS has been paid for
secondhand lots of Lake copper, for
either spot or delivery over the next few
months. A large business vas done early
IN the week in electrolytic copper at
prices mostly below the market value OF
Soday, and ranging from 1OA@1 OS deliv-
cred terms, for cakes wirebars or iDgots
and 10Y + o. b. New York for catholics
Casting copper, although in somewhat
better demand, is not saleable above 10Y

IN the week at 10Y, which price has since
been refused. Exports continues at very

some months to come.

are no longer sellers at this price, and for re-
