and place mentioned and show cause,

not be made permanent.
The same general rule Of practice OBJ
tains In the United States courts.
And now as to their Jurisdiction.
The constitution of the United States,
article 3, sectiOn1, provides: "The ju-
dicial power of the United States shall
be vested in one Supreme court, and in
such inferior courts as the Congress
may from time to time Ordain and
establish. The Judges, both of the
Supreme and inferior courts, shall hold
their Offices during good behavior, and
shall, at stated times, receive for their
services a compensation which shall
not be diminished during their continu-
ance in Office"
The second section of the same arti-
Gle defines the extent Of the Jurisdiction
Of these courts, and without quoting
all Of the section, this is sufficient for
our present purpose, namely: it shall
extend "tO controversies between two
or more States; between a State and
citizens of another State; between citi-
zens of different States. :"
Section Of article 4 provides that
"the citizens of each State shall be
entitled to all privileges and immuni-
ties of citizens Of the several States"
And section of article 6 provides as
follows: "This constitution, and the
laws Of the United States which shall
be made in pursuance thereof; and all
treaties made, or which shall be made,
under the authority of the United
States shall be the supreme law Of the
land, and the Judges in every State
shall be bound thereby, anything in the
constitution or laws of any State to the
contrary Notwithstanding"
In consideration of these provisions
of the constitution, the vulnerable
point in the practice of Federal Judges
is not in their assumption Of constitu-
tlOnal powers, but in their arbitrary
and unjust exercise Of them.

THE MEXICAN SITUATION.

Much ado is made over the effect
which the fall of silver has had on
Mexico, as if it had any bearing on
the question of restoring bimetallism
in the United States.
With the light we now have, the
Advocate is Of opinion that the infu-
ence of the money power Of the world
is sufficient to crush any and all of the
present silver standard countries and
force them to the gold standard by
means of the same grinding process
now going on In Mexico. Here is dis
patch published in the New York Her
aid as coming from the City Of Mexico:
Exchange on New York has reached
las premium. In other words, it takes
$3.45 Mexican money to buy an Ameri-
can dollar containing less silver than
the Mexican. This enormous depreci-
alton of the Mexican dollar is running
merchants. They are canceling all or
dcrs for imports, and many will close
their stores, as they cannot sell the
stock on hand at rate high enough
to replenish them"
1t is further stated that the mer-
chants who are being fleeced believe
that the price is unnaturally depressed,
and is due to conspiracy abroad" and
they are right about it. Mexico is
heavily in debt, and her bonds, prln-
cipal and interest, are payable in gold
at London. The local trade Of Mexico
is carried on with silver money, and
under present conditions the value of
the coin there is regulated wholly by
the market value Of silver bullion. AS
bullion goes down gold goes up.
The same dispatch contains this
passage:
THE government is hard hit, as it
has to pay the interest on the foreign
debt in gold. There is some talk Of
reputation, but there is no knowing
what President Diaz will do. He may
refund the per cent. debt, paying
only per cent interest"

PASSING OF THE STRIKE PERIOD

Soon after the great strike at Chi
cagO In 1894, Mr.. Debs said the time
for effective strikes had passed; that
in future some other way out of labor
troubles must be found, He spoke the
truth. The interests Of the people of
this great country have become so
inter-related that any serious inter
ruption in any important branch Of
Industry or business affects people in
other parts as we'll as those in the
immediate Vicinity OF the original dis
turbance. The Chicago strike affected
the whole country, because all the peo-
pie receive their daily supplies by
transportation from other places.
Coal is the peoples fuel, and stopping
the mining of coal affects local home
interests everywhere. While nearly
everybody would like the miners to
succeed In forcing better wages, yet
they don't want the mines to close; and
so in this as in other cases, conflicting
interests soon clash and the weaker
party goes down.

and other great organizations, can af-

DOLLAR WHEAT AT LAST.

The Advocate congratulates its read
ers on the fact that wheat reached the
dollar mark in New York last week.
And while it may not pass that point
far, it will hardly fall much below it
during the next six or eight months
1t is rule that may be always relied
upon that after the price of an article
of general use reaches an unusually
high level, the demand for it slackens,
and if the price does not fall, it does
not rise.
But if the point now reached is main
tanned six months, or even three
months, it will be worth many millions
of dollars to Kansas farmers. And
what a lesson this is. It teaches that
with good prices for their crops, Kan
sas farmers can hold their own against

ANOTHER "CRISlS" FOR SPAIN.


The Announcement Made That the Liberals
Will No Longer support the Govern
ment.
MADRID. May 20,-At meeting OF
liberal senator's and deputies yester-
day, Senior Sagasta, former premier,
made an important speech, in the
course of which he said:
We have 200 900 troops in Cuba but we are
not even masters of the territory trodden by
our soldiers. AT the same moment Carlism Is
organizing itself in the peninsula and menaces
us with new war thanks to the immunity 1t
enjoys, while the seeds of separation are GER
minating in some Of the provinces The picture
could not be goomier. We have war in Cuba
and in the Philippines, and we have attempts
at civil war at home The government is not
responsible for them, but 1t is unfortunate In
It's administration. Reforms In Cuba will not
solve the Cuban problem.
In the face of this situation, the liberal party
has decided to break the truce 1t has accorded
to the government during the last two years
The government has existed until now because
of the compaisance Of the liberals. Hence.
forth the liberals will throw all responsibility
upon the government
The speech, which was greatly APP.
plauded, portends stormy sittings for
both chambers Many liberals predict
that Senior Canovas will be thrown
from power within fortnight Polit-
ical passions are thoroughly excited.

LONDON, May al.-A Rome corre-
spondent says he learns on unquestion-
able authority that the powers have
agreed upon the chief conditions Of
peace, namely, indemnity to the
amount of e5,OOO,OOO, guaranteed by a
control Of the Greek customs and the
rectifcation of the frontier, details as
to which have not been yet settled
NJ. Rail-. the PREMIER in the course
of an interview yesterday, said: "The
indemnity which Greece will pay to
Turkey will be in proportion to the
resources of Greece and her financial
position. The cession of territory Is
out of the question. Greece cannot ac-
cept modification of the strategic
frontier which would render easy the
raiding Of Greek territory by armed
bands and which would compel Greece
to maintain a numerous army in order
to prevent incursions."
The armistice concluded yesterday is
general and includes the land and sea
forces of both combatants. The agree
ment stipulates that mixed commits
sion Of officers of superior rank shall
establish a neutral zone between the
two armies, and that no advance on
either flank shall be permitted. 1t is
understood that Turkey wants the
commission to be constituted OF the
foreign military attaches with the two
armies
Crown Prince Constantine, 1t is said,
sent personal appeal to the ear not
to allow the Greek army to be crushed
by a force four times greater than
itself, and that as consequence the
car insisted on the armistice.
A correspondent at Athens says that
when the crown prince arrived at
Lamia he had been practically aban-
doned by his army. Col, Mastrapas
and his division had already quilted
the town, directing their fight toward
Alamana Montono and Alanti. After
vainly trying to collect the rem
nants Of his army at Lamia, the crown
prince with his staff went to Alamana,
where another attempt was made to
rally the fugitive troops. But this was
only partly successful, and during the
whole of Tuesday Lamia lay deserted,
at the mercy of the Turks, who, how
ever made no attempt to occupy 1t.

Whole NeigEbOrhOOd Wrought

MOUNTAIN GROVE, Mo-, May 2O.-This
little city was thrown into intense ex-
element yesterday morning by the re-
port Of horrible double murder about
six miles north Of here on the banks of
MILESTONE river. Tuesday night about
10 o'clock a mob of 30 Infatuated citi-
zens visited the home Of Lige Mayfeld,
who lives with his parents. Not find
ing him at home, they passed single
file through the house and when out
side threw a burning torch on the
roof, which took fire. Thinking the
work complete, the mob took its way
to the house of John Mitchell. After
it left, Mayfeld, by hard work, saved
the house from the flames.
The mob arrived at Mitchell's be-
tween IL and two o'clock a. m., but
finding the house, which is small, box
one, barricaded, commenced a regular
fusillade of shots against the outside.
John Mitchell, who was sleeping with
his wife and two little babies, well
knowing the purpose and intentions of
the mob, got up and started across the
room to get his pistol, but was riddled
with buckshot and rifle balls fred
through small window on the north
side. Before he was half way across
the room he sank mortally wounded
upon the floor. His stepbrother, Jack
Coffmann, raised up in bed, where
he was sleeping with Dave Mitchell,
brother Of John, and was also shot to
death in horrible manner by the in
furiated mob on the outside. Over
20 buckshot passed entirely through
the body of Coffmann. Dave Mitchell
was also shot through the head and
shoulder while on the floor returning
the fire Of the mob. How the wife and
children Of John Mitchell escaped in
jury is miracle, as the wall behind
the bed where they all had been lying
was perforated with buckshot.
The trouble which eliminated In the
double tragedy has been growing for
number of years. The Mitchell
brothers and Coffmann were thought
to have been members Of an organized
band Of thieves who made practice
of taking anything from chicken to
a horse, and who had been operating
between this town and Lebanon on

here. Both the Mitchells have done
