This morning was bright and clear but as the day grew the suns rays beat down with such increasing force that, except for the autumn forests and frost-bitten vegetation, one might have supposed that he was moving in the middle of July instead of November. Birds are plentiful, but the weather Is not favor able for good work in the field, being en- tirely too warm to be comfortable for the procession of sportsmen to keep up with the entire days running. This morning the second series Of the all-age race was run, the first having been finished yesterday. Eight of the sixteen dogs were lucky enough to get placed for the second series, and were braced thus: Tony's Gale against Sam T.; Harwick against Odd Sides; Won Gull against Cincinnati's Pride, and Marien Sport against Ranie III.

AN INTERESTING POINT OF LAW.

Washington, D. C.. Nov. 19.-The su- preme court of the United States has been aIity of the law passed by the Utah leg islature, limiting to eight hours days work in an underground mine in that state The statute provides that ex- cept in case of emergency where life or property is at stake no one shall work more than eight hours day in an un- derground mine and that no one shall em- ploy man so to do.. Albert F. Holden was convicted and fined by justice of the peace in Salt Lake county for violat-' ing the law, in the employment of a min- CT who engaged to work ten hours day. He sought release from the custody of the sheriff of Salt Lake county on the ground that the law was unconstitutional. in that 1t was class legislation and restrained the rights of citizens to contract for labor as they chose. Failing to get relief in the state courts Holden appealed to the su- preme court of the United States. by whom the case has not yet been decided.

The Democratic papers are be
ginning already to draw the deadly
parallel on Bryan. His declara-
tion that he would bolt the Chica-
60 nomination il sound money
platform was adopted, is accented
as good reason why the sound
money Democrats should not sup
port him. What is sauce for the
white goose is sauce for the yellow
gander. This is excellent in the
DRY, but it is not worth a rush in
practice, for a Democrat is Demo-
crat the whole world over. No
matter what is said on the hust-
ings or declared in the platform,
Democrats go to the polls snd vote,
for Democratic candidates, even
while repudiating every plank on
which the candidates stand. 1t

@@Thelspeculators,ssw who are ever on
the watch to take advantage Of the
situation, are arranging for all
their contracts to be payable in
gold. Cast iron contracts to this
effect are already being presented
and the most persistent of the
crowd are found in the free silver
ranks. The Populists will pass an
act of congress (when they get q
chance) declaring such contracts
null and void, but the constitution
debars the congress from impairing
the validity Of private contracts.
A small thing like this will cut no
ice with the Populists, who have
already treated with contempt the
decision OF the Supreme court in
it's declarations on the income tax.
1t is poor Populist convention
