4 am now preparing for the fight"
Mr.. Hanna said to-day with the air OF
man who Is confident OF winning a pros
pective battle, for there is going to be
a fight, and a hot one at that We
think that the western and southern
states are debatable ground and We
shall go into the contest with that idea.
The DakOtas should go republican; Ne
braska should be republican, and the
same is true of Alabama and louisiana

there are more issues than the tarif, and
the money questions, which are Of fully
as much moment as the other two, and
which, II anything, concern the maInte-
nance of our government more than the
two issues which now hold the public
mind. / refer particularly to the stabili-
ty of our judicial system, which is threat
ened by the democratic party. In their
platform is a plank which contends THAI
the present system of selecting judges Of
the supreme court should be swept AWAY
That court should be surrounded with the
greatest protection, in order 10 keep II
pure and untainted, and the selection Of
judges should not be settled by a sudden
wave sudden excitement OF The people,
hysteria Of the masses-that is good
expression. Frequently the people are
swayed by sentiments of momentary du-
ration. They are wrought up to a high
pitch, and without giving the matter
sober second thought, act On the NOR
action, but then it Is too late. The su-
preme court must be guarded, as on its
stability depends the soundness Of our
government"

PITTsBURG's STOLEN FUNDS.
Ex-CIty Attorney MOreIand Pleads
Guilty.

Pittsburg, July 13-The second trial of
ex-City Attorney w. c. Moreland and his
assistant, H. NJ. House, charged with
misapproprlating money said to right
fully belong to the city of Pittsburg, was
called in the quarter-sessions court to-
day before Judges Porter and Kennedy.
Messrs. Moreland and House had been
jointly indicted for embezZlement. The
amount specifically stated in the nine
counts presented to-day was S26,652, and
covers the last four years of the official
acts of the defendants. This covers all
of the shortages on which the common
wealth is said to be able to secure positive
evidence, but does not, in fact, approach
the total of the amounts unaccounted for
during the twelve years which the defend
ants were in charge OF the cttys legal
department. The first trial of the de-
PENDANTS was held in February last and
resulted in acquittal. They then answer
ed the charge of depositing city funds
for private gain in the Tradesmen's Ma
tional Bank.
Every seat in the court room was occu-
pied long before the case was called. Mr..
House occupied seat at the attor-
ney's table, but Maj Moreland was not
nresent When Mr.. Moreland was called
upon to enter his plea Harry Goehring
representing the counsel for Moreland, ad-
dressed the court as follows May II
please your honors, we wish to enter a
Dlea of guilty for Mr.. Moreland."
The court accepted the plea, and the
attorneys quickly left the room.
The totally unexpected development
caused a sensation.
The trial of Mr. House was immedi-
ately taken up. Mr.. House entered a
plea of not guilty.
The selection Of a jury occupied the at
tention Of the court until the noon re-
cess.
Mai. Moreland was seen al his private
law office. but refused to talk for publica-
ton His bond will be renewed at once.
The maximum penalty attached to Maj
Moreland's confessed crime is five years
Imprisonment, or a fine covering the,
amount of the citys claim against him.

AMERICA FOR BIMETALLIsM.
Prof. Francis A. walker Addresses
the EngIish League.

the EnSilsh League.
London, July 13.--At a meeting of the
Bimetalhc League, held here to-day, an
address was delivered by Prof. Francis
A. Walker, the American political econo-
mist and superintendent of the census Of
the United States of 1SSo and 1880 Prof
Walker was cheered as he arose and was
frequently interrupted by outbursts Of
applause. He declared that no gold mono-
metallist party existed in the United
States, and said that he would stake his
honor If a bimetallic convention was pro.
posed to the United States by the princi-
pal sound money men Of Europe, the
Americans would tumble head over heels
in welcoming the proposal. Senator
Gray Prof. Walker said would find very
few men to join in opposition to a pro
posal for a common ratio between gold
and silver. What the silverites really de-
sired, he continued, was silver imitation
Widely separated from these men were
the real bimetallists of the United States.
Nothing, Prof. Walker declared, could
be more unfounded than to say that the
republican national convention held in
st. Louis had pronounced in favor of
gold monometallsm. Mr. Mckinley he
said, had never been a gold monometal-
list; he could not be one If he tried He
had always been uniformly bimetallist
The maintenance of a gold standard in
the United States was not rendered whit
less secure by reason of anything that
was done at the convention held in
Chicago, but despite much friendly ad-
vice from this side of the ocean, the
United States were not going to pull
other peoples chestnuts out of the fire,
and would remain devoted TO the rehabili-
tation of silver as a money metal and
always ready to make sacrifices to that
end The bonds of the United States, he
added, would continue to be paid IN gold
or its equivalent, and the credit of the
United States would continue to be as
high as ii had ever been since she had
triumphantly vindicated her nationality in
the war of secession. Prof. Walker was
vociferously cheered as he resumed his
seat at the close of his address.

A SAVINGS BANK CLOSED.
Its Collapse Expected and no Ex-
element Caused.


Lansing, Mich, July 13.-The Peoples
Savings Bank did not open its doors this
morning The bank has been on the rag
ged edge for some time, but up to SAT-
urday 1t was believed its difficulties could
be tided over. Rumors became rife SAT-
urday afternoon about closing time that
the bank was unsound, and a slight run
was preclpitated. The directors volun-
tarily sent for Commissioner Sherwood,
and an agreement was reached that the
Michigan Trust Company should be ap-
pointed receiver. The bank had a capital
of $l50.0O0
It's failure is due to the impossibility
OF realizing on its assets owing to tho
stringency OF the money market, and the
gradual withdrawal Of deposits. The
steady Withdrawals of deposits left the
bank in such a crippled condition that IL
could not continue business None of the
other local banks are involved in the
Peoples Banks misfortune, and its clos
ing has caused but little excitement.

A Valley City special to the Argus
of Jan. . says: Judge Rose today sign
ed an order releasing Attorney Herbert
Root from the county Jail. Root is now
in 4 position to hurry the case to the
supreme court. Attorney Seth New
man is conducting the defense. This is
case which probably has not an equal
in the courts Of the United States.
Rost was convicted of contempt Of
court simply on afidavits signed by
half \ dozen or more prominent citi.
zens who swore that they had heard
him uss words derogatory to the judge
and only one of these swore thatsi. was
done in the court room, while the court
was IN session, all of the others hearing
it on the street. Judge Rose and Root
have been at war fer the last four or
five years and public sentiment IS di-
vided as to the justice of the sentence.
It was = severe one, 5000 fine, 80 days
in Jail and dlsbarment from practice.
After the sentence was promo unced
Root got cut an appeal bond but the
judge refused to accept it and he was
put in Jail where he has been since
Saturday.

Herbert Root, who has quite a
reputation for belligerency in Barnes
and surrounding counties, and is an
attorney, made some very insulting
remarks about Judge Rose and was
brought up before the court with a
round turn on motion of States At
torney Winterer for contempt of
court. After due trial Mr.. Root was
found guilty and was sentenced by
Judge Rose to thirty days in Jail,
$2oo fine and disbarment from prac-
tice. The sentence of the court in
regard to Imprisonment is somewhat
severe,-in fact after reading the re-
ports Of the trial, we are inclined to
believe that the sentence should
never have been imposed at all. We
think that Judge Rose has allowed
"the gang" at Valley City to pull the
wool over his eyes to get even with
Root. It would keep the judge busy
trying contempt cases if he paid at
tentien to everything said about him
publicly. If Winterer would try and
earn his salary by making an honest
effort to close the blind pigs in his
town he would be more respected.
Contempt Of court should be punish
able, but the persecution Of Root by
