system inevitably must be that all re-
lationship between the value ana the
volume of money will be destroyed and
a time come when they who controI
the diminished and diminishing mon
ev of ultimate redemption shall own
all the property in the world. That
this,of all conceivable evils,is the worst
that can befall mankind, Balfour, the
English bimetallist, has well said; that
it can benefit any one except the
holders of fixed debts payable in gold
we think no sane man win contend. But
it is a system which is plausibly as
serted and forcibly maintained and
which intelligent and aggressive legis-
lation will be required to overthrow.

North and the able lawyers retained
by them were not staggered by them.
Respect for the judiciary and the rule
of stare decisis ("stick to the deci-
sions'') did not deter Mr.. Choate from
earning his fee of 100000 by upturn-
ing the decisions of a century. Why
should not a great party, which be-
lieves that the first five decisions were
right instead of the last one, say so,
and announce that if five rulings could
not settle the law, one by a divided
court, cannot do so.
The motives of the Supreme court
Judges should not be assailed. But the
journalist and the layman may say
that the court has misconceived the
law. that some other day legal and
proper way viii be found to make
wealth bear it's just share of the bur
dens of government.

dency is to concentrate wealth in the

so per cent. will vote for Bryan. OF the
Democrats less than Is per cent. are
for Mckinley and only per cent. for
Palmer. The total detection from the
Democratic vote for Mckinley and
Palmer is less than 81 per cent. OF
the Socialists three will vote for Bryan
and Watson, the rest adhering to their
own ticket. Most Of the nine men who
did not give their former political pref
erences are new voters. OF these six
are for Mckinley and three for Bryan.
The result of this poll in New York
is not surprising. The same state of
affairs exists everywhere. Labor rec
ognizes Bryan as its friend and Nc
Binley as its implacable enemy. The
Republican candidate may have shown
wisdom in selecting Mark Hanna as
his manager, for it was through Han
mas money he secured the nomination,
but by so doing he has gained the bitter
opposition of organized labor in every
State in the Union.
Hanna is an industrial cannibal. He
has always been a vindicive foe or or
ganized labor. He has crushed union
after union among the thousands or his
own employees. He has always oppress-
ed and humbled the laboring man, and
taken a delight in doing so.
How then can any self-respecting
laborer be expected to vote for him?

There were As Republicans, 40 Demo
Gratis, Is Socialists, who did not give
their former political affiliations, and
the rest scattering.
The canvass showed that of the 100,
"a are for Mckinley and Ga for Bryan.

TroubIe-Othcr Cases.

Willis James, a fne-looking negro
man. who has been employed at the
jefferson Hotel as hoorman, was before
Justice Crutchheld yesterday morning on
two charges. Mr. Webster, one of the
managers of the hotel. stated that
the prisoner had access TO every room
on the third floor, and that a silver
watch diamond scarf-pin. and pistol
had been stolen from different guests at
the hotel all OF whom were from the
North, and had occupied rooms on the
third floor. These articles were recov-
cred from a pawnshop, but, owing 10
the fact that none of the people who had
been robbed were now present, or ex-
pected to be present for some time. the
charge of the theft had to be Indefinite
ly postponed. as there would be no one
to identify the articles. AS a suspicious
character. however, James will be held
for twelve months If he fails to give the
500 security required OF him. In the
meanwhile Mr.. Webster will watch out
for the presence of any Of the persons
from whom the articles were stolen. when
the guilt Of the prisoner may be firmly es-
tablished.
The 'leather-lung" boy, James Guth-
RE, whose fog-horn voice Is familiar
at the Baseball Park. and which Is
rivalled only by the angry roar OF a hun
CRY lion, was before Justice John,
looking as meek as ever. The Justice
recognized him Immediately as his old
rooter friend, but 'Leather-Lung' showed
no signs of his capabllity to guy a ball
player. as he seemed much disturbed
over his charge of beating Mike and
Tony Nova, two urchins hardly large
enough TO wear knee-pants. Little Mike
and Tony had their father TO testify
for them, and I'm giving his testimony
the fact that he himself had been guilty
Of slappinG James was developed.
Finally, at "Leather-Lung's" suggestion,
Judge Witt, who was presiding up IN
the Hastings Court. was sent for. and
gave the convincing testimony: where
upon NJ. G.. Nova was fined $3.50 and
costs for striking the lad while the boy
with the powerful voice was allowed To
go free.

with the payment OF costs. Rehecca
stated that they had been married five
years, ana TINS was their nfst ulstufD-
ence Sne said she only got out The
warrant because she was afraid OF him
while intoxicated. The Justice told her
she was fortunate I'm having lived for
FIVE years 50 peaceably.
Albert Austin was fined SEQ for carry
ing a concealed weapon, which was
taken out Of his pocket by the officer
who made the arrest in ROcchicciolrs
