MARYLAND FOR BRYAN.
A Little Go1dbug Incident illustrates
the Case.

Washington, Aug 3.-"Peop1e up our
way have no use for go1dbugs,'' said
Mr.. Pat Long of Frederick, Nd, at the
National I am not referring to hu
man beings when 1 use the phrase
goldbugs, but to the little ornaments
which bear that name. and which men
who believe in the yellow metal are
supposed to wear in their coats.
1T is only a straw, but it shows the
drift of the tide. A neighbor of mine
who sells all kinds of merchandise,
mostly to country customers, bought a
supply, both of gold and silver bugs.
The latter went like hot buttered
cakes, but of the entire stock of gold
bugs he only made one sale. His Gus
toners didn't want 'em at any price,
and some of the rural voters fntimated
that they were offensive. At this my
friend, who has keen business in
stinct, sent all the goldbugs back to
New York and got the other kind in
their place. The second supply went
about as quickly as the first.
Free silver is growing all the time in
our part of Maryland, and this little in
cident merely illustrates popular senti-
ment. The masses are for Bryan by a
big majority"

NEW YORK SOCIAL CLUBS.
Many of Them Organized to Dodge
the Liquor Law.

New York, Aug. 3.-The hundreds of
so-caIled social clubs which have been
Incorporated with the secretary of state
since the Raines liquor law has been
in force will soon be exposed by an in
vestigatiOn conducted by the state ex-
else department. These clubs are form
ed either to evade paying a liquor tax
or to enable saloon keepers to sell on
Sunday. Some of the clubs. of course
are bona ffde organizations Seven
eighths of them, however, were estab-
lished with the sole purpose of endeav-
oring to get around the provision of the
law which prohibits Sunday selling by
saloons.
State Excise Commissioner Lyman
has his inspectors looking into the
operation of these clubs. They find that
many of them are in rooms over a sa-
loon, having the saloon keeper as pres
ident of the club; the bartender for sec
rotary, and the lookout" as the third
incorporation These clubs were organ
lied for the sole purpose of enabling
the saloon keeper to sell liquor on sun
day by removing a portion of his Ii
quors from the saloon to the club room
above on Saturday night.

Congressman Ben Russell of Georgia,

zens of the Hub talking more about
the money question than the people of
Washington, if such thing is pos
sible
ITO my utter surprise I found that
a goodIy per cent were in favor of free
silver Men who were in a position to
know assured me that the cause was
making rapid strides in every New En-
gland state, and that if the gain main
tanned it's present ratio Bryan would
surely carry one or two of them
There wasn't a word to be heard
about Mckinley or the tariff all the en-
thusiasm was on the side of Bryan and
silver. Though personally an advocate
of sound money am convinced that
the people of this country have made
up their minds to try the other system,
and that Bryan is going to be elected
president by a tidal-wave majority

THAT CIRCULAR LETTER.

The circular letter issued recently by
the president of a big life insurance
company to the company's policy hold
ers in which he lays before them the
horrible consequences Of free coinage,
is just now being rolled as a sweet NOR
sci on the tongues of the gold bug
press.
The president tells the policy hold
ers that they have paid their premiums
on a gold basis and are entitled to gold
in return, but that if free coinage of
silver is adopted the company will be
forced to pay them in so cent dollars.
This declaration smacks of dishonesty.
If this life insurance president is so
scrupulously honest and conscientious
as he would have people believe, why
doesn't he say to the policy holders:
You paid your premiums on a gold
basis and you are entitled to gold in
return, and gold you shall have if it
bankrupts the stockholders to do t.
That is the idea of John Sherman, the
father of gold bugs. He says the gov
ernment's creditors when they took the
governments securities expected to be
paid in gold, and that he is in favor of
paying them in gold If it takes the last
shirt off of the peoples backs.
But as a matter of fact this grand
stand play of the life insurance COM
pany is made for the political effect it
is expected to produce.

Bragg of Wisconsin presided and the
session lasted for more than three
hours. At it's conclusion, General Bragg
said the results accomplished from the
subcommittee in one weeks time made
it certain that another national Dem

This movement is no longer local, -
Cen. Bragg said. Il is now a national

of the cooperation of 81 states. The
future of the movement will be in the
hands of the national committee. When
that committee assemblies at Indianap-
oils next Friday the call for the nation

Under a Special Arrangement.


The Columbus Buggy Go. House Here
Under a Special Arrangement.
The failure of the Columbus Buggy
company Of Columbus, O., and the con-
sequent closing of its branches at many
points. including Kansas City. has not
affected the house at Topeka.
A Journal reporter saw P J. Hind
marsh, proprietor of the Topeka house,
this morning and he said:
This branch has not been closed for
an instant. While it is true that the
central house has failed and is inter
ested to some extent in this branch in
a way, the arrangement I have with it
is different from the others. This stock
cannot be touched for any of the claims
against the company and will continue
it's business uninterruptedly. No claims
have been filed against it.
THE failure of the central house was
due to the failure of the Staver-Abbott
Manufacturing company Of Chicago,
Friday, in which the Columbus COM
pany was largely interested.
This company does not owe more
than $50o,000 and it's assets are in the
neighborhood og 81, 50O,O00 I believe that
the trouble will be thoroughly adjusted
without difficulty within thirty days.
The company was crippled by the
Chicago failure and by reason of be-
Ing unable to realize on its collateral

SUPREME COURTS OPINION OF
ITSELF


Much is being written and spoken
regarding what is called abuse" of the
supreme court. After all it is probable
that nothing worse has been said Of
that tribunal than was said by some
OF its own members in delivering their
opinions on the income tax law. Justice
Brown said:
The decision involves nothing less
than the surrender of the taxing power
to the inoneyed classes. While I have
no doubt that congress win find some
means of surmounting the present cris-
is. my fear is that in some moment Of
national peril this decision VIII rise up
to Illustrate it's will and paralyze its
arm. I hope it may not prove the first
step toward the submergence Of the
liberties Of the people in a cordial des-
pOtism of wealth.
Justice Harlan said:
I'm my judgment this decision strikes
at the very foundations Of national au-
thority. in that it denies to the general
government a power which is, or may
be at some time, imperativeIy needed,
in a great emergency. say in case of
war The practical if not the di-
rect effect of the decision today is to
give to certain kinds of property po-
sttion of favoritism and advantage that
is inconsistent with the fundamental
principles of our social organization,
and to invest them with power and in
huence that is perilous to that portion
of the people upon which rests the
larger part of the burdens of the gov
eminent, and who ought not to be sub
jected to the domination Of aggregated
wealth any more than the property Of
the country should be at the mercy of
the lawless.'
Justice White said:
1.-THE injustice of the conclusion
points to the error of adopting it. It
takes the invested wealth and reads 1t
into the constitution as a favored and
protected class of property, whilst it
leaves the occupation of the minister,
the doctor. the professor, the lawyer,
the inventor, the author, the merchant
and all the various forms of human ac-
tivity upon which the prosperity of
people must depend, subject to taxa
ton without apportionment."
Justice jackson said that he concur
red fully in the opinion expressed by
Justice White, and declared that:
THE decision reverses the common
rule of taxation by exempting those
who are best able to pay and forcing
the burden upon the shoulders of those
who are least able to pay"
In concluding Justice Jackson said
that in his opinion the decision was
the most disastrous blow ever struck
at the constitutional power of congress.
It struck down an important, vital and
essential power Of the government. 1t
left the government, in case of necessi-
ty, without power to reach by taxation
in any form the vast incomes derived
from the real and personal property Of
the country
