THE COURT HELPED THEM
WHY RAILROAD EMPLOYEES STAND
BY THE SUPREME COURT.
Point Made by w. r. Fishbacl< in
His Speech to Railroad Men at
Terre Haute.

A representative of the Journal saw Mr.
w. P. Fishback at his Office apd asked him
to state the substance of what he said at
Terre Haute to the Sound-money Railroad
Club concerning the federal courts.
81 tried to impress upon them. said Mr.
Fishback, 1.-The fact that the federal courts
including the Supreme Court of the United
States, had established a rule of equity
which protected railroad employees in way
which no other wage carriers are protected
If farmer has a mortgage foreclosed on
his farm and has bought machinery and
supplies on credit. and is in debt to his
grocer and farm hands all claims for labor
and supplies are cut out and the holder of
the mortgage takes everything. So of
great manufacturing and business enter
prise of any sort-when it fails the labor
ers lose their wages and the owners of Sc
cured claims get everything.
about twenty years ago." continued Mr.
Fishback. Judge Drummond, of the United
States Circuit Court of this district, con-
Guided that the laborers on a railroad and
the men who furnished supplies to run it
had lien upon the earnings OF the road
which should be preferred to the lien of the
holders of mortgage bonds, and that If a
railroad company allowed an Indebtedness
to accumulate in the shape OF back pay due
to laborers and money due for supplies, the
gage and buy in the road without first pay
ing the back pay rolls and supply claims.
Judge Drummond made rule in some
cases that pay roll claims and supp Y
claims which accru ed with The tx months
prior to the foreclosure proceedings We're
TO be paid first, ana in some cases he fixed
the period at three months. Many railroad
lawyers ridiculed Judge Drummond's deci-
sion as piece of sentimental equity but
upon appeals from his decision, his views
We're adopted by the Supreme Court, and
they are the law of the land to-day. AS
result of this rule many millions of dollars
which would otherwise have been lost by
the railway employees of the country have
been paid to the men and their families If
there is a class of men in the country who
should defend the federal courts and OPP
pose the attacks made upon them by the
Bryan Democrats, it is the railway en-
ployes. L have no doubt that the almost
unanimous support of the Republi ticket
by this class of laborers is Influenced large
ly by the belief that these courts, so vigor-
ously assailed by Bryan and his support
ers, are their best friends"

WARNER MILLER IN THE CITY.
The Ex-senator from New York
Speaking i'm Indiana

The Ex-senator from New York
Speaking i'm Indiana.
Ex-senator Warner Miller of New York,
spent last evening in the city after speak
ing 20 an immense crowd at Greencastle
YESTERDAY afternoon. He will leave at noon
to-day for Union City. where he will ad-
dress a meeting tonight Ex-senator
Miller as the leader of the anti-Platt Re-
publicans of New York, has been for some
years a notable figure in American politics.
1t has been his fate to be knocked down
and dragged OUT at State conventions as
a usual thing, but at the same time it has
usually been his good fortune to see the
man whose cause he espoused win in ma
tfonal affairs. He led the Harrison forces
in New York in 1892 and last spring made
q valiant fight for Mckinley. He is a.
wealthy manufacturer of paper at Herki-
mer and is quite much a. figure in the
business world as he IS in the field of poli-
ties. He is fine looking man. a man of
earnest convictions and clear and forcible
speaker
Like all other Republicans, Mr. Miller is
extracting good deal of quiet amusement
out OF the situation in which the Hill Dem
ocrats III New York find themselves. "Of
course" said he, in conversation with a
Journal reporter last evening, none of
them have any hope of accomplishing any
thing they would not present to us the
spectacle of indorsing the Chicago platform
and nominating a gold-standard man upon
it. Mr.. Hill attitude has lost for him the
respect of intelligent men throughout the
State. He and his friends are merely try
ing to save the orgauza ton for themselves
in the hope that it may prove useful to
them after the cyclone has struck and
passed over. but it looks as If there would
not be enough of the organization left by
the time they get through with Il to be
of use to anybody. The sound-money men
have put ticket in the field and are likely
to take what is left of the party
Mr. Miller has been making speeches in
Illinois and Michigan. When asked for his
view of the situation in these two States
he replied Il have talked with q great
many people who ought TO know and / find
the general opinion among them is that
both States are now practically safe for
our ticket and the situation is improving
all the time"

Again Talking of state Ticket.

The National Democrats have again be-
gun to agitate the subject of a State ticket.
When their State committee met here last
week it was just after the failure of the
Popocrats and Populists to get together on
a fusion scheme and the sentiment then ex-
pressed was that if there were no further
efforts on the part of the silver Demo-
Gratis to fuse with the Populists there
should be National Democratic State
ticket The renewed discussion of the sub
ject has been aroused by the continued ef
forts to bring about fusion, not only upon
the electoral ticket but upon congressional
ard county nominations in various parts of
the State. The State committee left the
question oren, with instructions to Chair
man Pickens to call the committee together
again to further consider it upon the first
. indication of further fusion.

Robert s. Murphy, son of Francis Muir
ply, the temperance apostle is at home
visiting his parents. He is city attorney
for Johnstown. Pa He says there is no
question that Pennsylvania viii turn up as
large a majority for Mckinley as it gave
the Republican ticket two years ago The
iron workers of the State. he says, have
felt that awful power of Democracy to
lower wages and paralyze business and
want no more of it. While the Republicans
marching clubs and doing a great deal of
work, he says there is so little opposition
to the party as to make the people almost
unanimous. He says the people there are
looking anxiously toward Indiana and Hi
noiS, but that since coming out here he
can go back and tell them to bury their
fears.
