BOY WON HIS CASE.
Jury Decides That He Need Not Pay
the Note-Court Matters.

From Tuesdays Daily.]
In the case Of Martin vs.. Martin
the jury brought in verdict for de-
PENDANT. The latter is a young man
and his mother, representing his
fathers estate, brought suit on note
for $500. 1t was claimed that the
note was given with a mortgage to
the boys father at time when the
boy feared he was to be sued on q
pasture contract and was without
consideration. The paper was found
among the effects of the deceased
after bis death.
The case Of Mrs. Bunker against j..
N. Lederer, her brother.in.law, was
on trial. Mrs. Bunker claims that her
father, John Luck, in his lifetime
decided his homestead to Lederer, his
son.in.law, for the purpose Of pre-
venting the plaintiff from collecting a
debt due her from her father. After
the evidence Of plaintiff closed, de-
murrer to the same was sustained,
the court holding that a head Of a
family has the absolute right to con-
vey his homestead to any one he
pleases, and for any purposes he
pleases and with or without consid-
Grafton and that such conveyance is
good against all claims Of creditors.

KeeptnG Old Stock,

The fact of keeping old stock on the
move has been discussed and rediscussed.
yet, in spite of it, there are merchants
who persist in hanging on to old stock
with the same pertinacity that a numis-
matist does to an old coin. These goods
become more and more unstable with
each returning season, and yet all this
time they have to be handled, busted and
kept in order for chance sale. It will
not do to put them among the newer,
more attractive stock, for the contrast IN
to their detriment. The best plan by far
is to close them out at reduction; It
pays better to let them go at low fig
ure than. to pay clerks for time used In
keeping them in order.-Shoe and Leather

To the Editor of The Sun-Sir: Th,
position of The Sun on the leading issu,
Of the day is precisely that of every hon
est Gold Democrat in the country. l,
;s ridiculous to attempt to befog the stu
alton by shouting State issues anywhere
where everybody knows that the Demo
cratic party is hopelessly given over tt
populism and all the other isms and
absurdities of the Chicago platform.
No clear-headed voter who favors M
honest dollar and opposes Organism vii
cast his ballot in this falls election fol
any Democratic candidate.
The cowarily lodging of the silver
question by some Democratic State Con
ventiOns has not deceived anybody
Democracy, where it means anything a.
all, now means Bryanism.
Conservative people who opposed Bry
anism in 1896 will, for the same reasons
oppose Democratic candidates in 1895
however much they may whine abou
State issues.
There is no present prospect that DEN
ocrats who cut loose from their party tw
years ago because they opposed its radio:
reactionary policies will soon, if ever
find congenial company in the ranks
their old political associates. They mus
in future act with the Republican party
which favors sound money and the III.
tegrity of the judiciary.
These issues overshadow all others, an
the attempt to obscure them on any Tr
tense in any quarter will fail.
