RIcGa EGcn and the Courts

It was the United States
Courts rather than Havemeyr
and Searles that were on
trial at Washington last
week. Unfortunately the
indictments against them
stands justified by their own
acts. Justice Bradley's rul-
ings in favor of Havemeyer
and Searles are a verdict
against the courts as instru-
ments Of equal and impartial
Justice to all citizens.
In view Of these Sugar
Trust cases, the United
States Judges should, to
avoid useless litigation, lay
down a general rule for the
GUIDANCE Of lawyers and
clients. Recent decisions IN
the District Of Columbia
show that in the view Of the
courts mankind is divided
into three classes.
In the most numerous OF
these classes are what may
be called the common people,
having little money aud no
Influence" obtained by con-
tributions to campaign funds
and the like. When one Of
these plain people commits a
a crime, he IS sent to jail,
placed in a bare felons cell,
and fed on coarse prison
fare,
In the second class, fewer
numbers but more plenthoric
in pocket, is Broker Chap
man, who is worth probably
$100, 600 or 100000. When
one of these violate the law
and is convicted thereof, he
is sent to jail, but is provld-
ed with all the comforts Of
a good hotel. A brass bed
stead with a curled hair
mattress, feather pillows,
fine blankets, bureau, chlf-
fonier and washstand are
placed in his "cell,' ard an
adjoining cell is fitted up
for his use with a desk and
the usual coutcniences of a
Wall Street brokers' prl'

on his candidates advent at
Washington. Prosperity
aud protection, hand in
hand, would fit from port to
port, span the rivers, open
the factories and put a smile
on the face Of the land.
Looking back on those days
of promises, it seems remark
able that anyone should
have believed IN them. Il
seems extraordinary that
anyone should have listened
seriously to this paragraph
from an Ingersoll speech
delivered a t Chicago,
Thursday, October s;
The Republican party
is the friend Of labor. =
Labor is the great oak, labor
is the great pillar, and the
deft and cunning hands of
labor fill the world with
things of use and beauty.
The Republican party is the
friend of labor, and all nv
sympathies are with the
men who toll, The Re
publican party is the con-
science of the Nineteenth
Century. | am proud to be-
lorg to it. Vote the Re
publican ticket and YOU will
be happy here, and, If there
is another life, you will be
happy there"
Even on the paid plat
form Of his party Colonel
Ingersoll could not refrain
from a slap at the religion
of his fathers.
Pushing forward as it rs,
the Southwest would wei
come any activity at Wash
ington that would find re-
Election from coast to coast
in the world of commerce,
This Southwest is not con-
tented with its own ad-
vancep1ent when it learns
that the East is not con-
tented in contemplating its
prospects under McKinley's
administration, The East
offered little complaint in
the days that were darkest
through our own fertile val
ley and upland; but that
part of the coltutry-the
chief political support Of
McKiniey-.s beginning to
see thar promises before
election day are not always
to be trusted. 1t is begin
ming to wonder what the
President meant when, for
example, he said, in talking
to Newcastle (Ind.) dele
cation on Friday, October
%.
"What we want to do is
to start the idle mills, start
the factories and open the

Joined with the Northeast

so much at his home in

He cannot at this time
point to- an act of his
administration that has con-
tributed or promises to con
tribute to better conditions
among the masses, In
stead of a renewal of con-
fdence in and out of party,
there is complaint in Re
publican ranks Of inactivity
and lack of purpose in his
direction of public affairs.
The Southwest has, it is
true, experienced a favorable
change of business condit-
ions since the beginning of
the present year, but the
change has been the result
of no act of his. No per-
Torrance of his adminlstra-
ton has had to do with the
revival of confidence and the
furtherance of enterprise
in the empire south of the
Missouri and west of the
Mississippi River,
Not manv days ago a
newspaper that has long
champloned the cause of

dent teaches the doctrine,
asserted that there was too
much ridicule Of his admin.
istratiOn; that he and his
campaign orators had not
promised prosperity in so
many words; that there
must be time for natural con
ditions to assert them
selves.
AT Canton on Friday,
October 2, Major McKin-
ley addressed delegations
from West Virginia, and
from Seneca and Huron
counties in his own State.
On that occasion, among
other things, he said;
Business activity will re-
turn, confidence will come
back, courage will take the
place of fear, work will be
resumed, and prosperity
will come to bless and bene-
fit us all"
Nearly a week later, on
Wednesday, October Z he
addressed a delegation from
Ashland, O. lie concluded
an address o t doctrlnal
