JOHN SHERMAN AND THE cnEDI.
TOR CLASS.

The Senator from Ohio expresses
great fears in his -kcy-note" speech
TINT all Of the SJ, 900. UOU.uOu Of pub
lie and private Indebtedness OF the
United States will not be paid in gold
and that the creditors will thereby be
defrauded. This Is not the first time
TINT the Greatest Living Finuncier-
has furnished proof that it is only the
creditor class which can O his
lachrymose glands to action.
One Of the last things Lincoln said
was, "lf a nation should contract II
debt with n certain amount OF money
per capita, in circulation. aL1 then
contract the amount, it would COM
NIT the greatest crime possible against
its people" Yet he WINS scarce cold
in his grave before Sherman began to
withdraw and burn the greenbacks.
and by lSI3-cight yrars-he had re-
duced the per capita Of the cIrculat-
ing medium over G6 per cent; 60 that
debts contracted on n per capita basis
OF 500, had to be paid on Il basis OF
SIS. BY this me ms the purchasing
power OF the debts was trebled and
the difficulty OF paying them cores.
~pondingly increased. AS a result
millions were bankrupted. thousands
Of them were driven to suicide and
thousands more to insanity. while
tens ~ thousands OF our most enter
pising business men. involved be-
yond hope OF redemption. and broken
in mind and body. losing all hope and
all nm. ition. sank into hopeless pow
erty aud dragged out a miserable ex-
istenance n the poor house. or around
their " miserable firesides in vain
regrets that Lincoln died so soon. and
as vain dreams OF what might have
been had we had a secretary Of the
treasury who would have remembered
that the debtor class is ten times MS
numerous. and ten times as helpless
rs the creditor class, and that the first
duty OF a government is To protect
the weaker against the stronger.
And now again, as in 1868, and from
the same lips. we hear the cry. I'll m
esty demands thus and 70: but by sad
experience the people have learned
that when one is so blatant about
Honesty he is but covering up a

II this Sherman does not differ from
the rest OF mankind. In 1868 Slron-

authority upon Government land. The
Montana court held that their title was
good against the railroad company and
gave judgment in their favor. The Su-
preme Court, in an opinion read by JUS
tice Peckham, reversed the judgment and
remanded the case, holding that the title
of Lewis ct al. was not sufficient to entitle
them to recover.
Justice Harlan announced the decision
of the court upon the validity of an act
passed by the Legislature of Arizona, in
which the limits within which the courts
may act in determining the action of the
Legislature were defined. The case was
that of w. A. Harwood VS.. A. Went
worth, contest for possession of
the Office of Recorder of Cochise
County, in that Territory, the
question involved being whether or not the
act in question was to take effect January
1, 1897, or at the time of passage. The
official document did not contain that
stipulation, and 1t was sought to show by
parol evidence that the original bill was
so amended.
Justice Harlan stated that in line with
the views expressed in Field VS.. Clark,
presenting the same question relating to
an act of Congress, the courts were not
justified in going behind the record as
shown by the enrolled act as deposited
with the Secretary of State, approved by
the Governor and signed by the Speaker
of the House and President of the Senate.
The Judgment of the Supreme Court Of
the Territory was affirmed.

For the First Five Rounds the
Australian Did the Most
Effective Work.
THEN THE FIGHTING CHANGED
During the Remainder of the Contest
the Man From the Antipodss Was
on the Defensive.

MASPETH, L. l., April 13.-The Griffo-
Mckeever contest, which was the star at
traction at the Empire Athletic Club to-
night, drew but slim crowd, owing to a
report during the afternoon that Critic had
been arrested on charge of being about
to participate in prize, tight, and that to-
nights contest would in consequence be
put off. The Australian was arrested but
was released.
The curtain-raiser was ten-round bout
between Fred Morris, better known as
"MuIdoon's Cyclone" and Charley Strong
of Newark, both colored. Strong got the
decision.
Shortly after o'clock the stars appeared.
Critic had trained with more than usual
steadiness for this contest, while McKeever
was also in great form. The first five
rounds were in favor of Critic, but the
rest of the fight was to McKeever's credit.
He was the aggressor until the end of the
twentieth round and frequently hal Critic
on the ropes. Critic defended himself SUI
perbly, but did not try to score points by
leading.
The referee declared McKeever the win
ner, decision that met with almost uni
versal favor. This was the Australian s
first actual defeat in this country, where
his wonderful skill as a defensive boxer
gained him great reputation.

The whole question of Sunday prohlbl-
ton depended on whether the proprietor
had ten bedrooms somewhere about his
place of business or not. In most OF these
rooms the necessary furniture had simply
been thrown in and if any man applied
for lodging in these subterfuge hotels he
would be turned away.
But of the city's 1000 barrooms not one
was open. The screens were thrown back
ana the bars plainly exposed to view from
the street. No policemen stood guard at
side doors. In Brooklyn all that the
thirsty had to drink was obtained in the
same manner. There were more evi-
dences of drunkenness on the streets there
than in New York however. 1t is evident.
