KISSING DISCUSSED IN COURT.
7. Hughlett, Marshal Of Wellsvllle,
Was Removed For Attempting to
Kiss q Woman.
From the ST. louis Republic.


The three dignifed judges of the
Court of Appeals heard arguments
yesterday by q quartette of lawyers
about kissing: The case at issue was
the State to the use of Thomas Hugh
lett, respondent, against T. A. Finley
and others, appellants.
Hughlett was elected Marshal Of
Wellsville, Mo-, in 1896. Wellsville
is a town of 600 inhabitants, situated
ON the Wabash railroad so miles from
st. Louis. Hughlett's salary vas $15
a month. Two months after he vas
elected Mrs. Lizzie G. Blattner fled
charges against him alleging that he
attempted to hug her and asked her
to kiss him. Hughlett was tried and
removed from Office. A special cleo
ton was ordered to fill the vacancy.
The election took place July 80,
1895. When the ballots were counted
~ ~ ~ tan mat Hughlett had been
r. -elected as Marshal. He was not
given the Office, however. The town
authorities would not recognize the
result of the election. A second cleo
ton was ordered. Finley, who is
president of the Town Board, issued a
proclamation setting forth that Hugh
lett was not eligible to be a candidate.
The second election was held Aug. 20,
1895, and ]. D. Hart was elected Mar
shall.
Hughlett went into court and applied
for a writ of mandamus against Finley
and the other members of the Town
Board, as also the town clerk and
treasurer, to compel the issuance OF
his certificate of election, approval of
his bond and payment of his salary.
The suit remained in court some time
and Hughlett was finally successful.
The town authorities appealed.
Hughlett's lawyers contend that
while the Tewn Board had power to
remove Hughlett for cause, it had not
the authority to keep him out of the
office after he had been reelected.
The case was submitted to the court
and a decision may be rendered next
Tuesday.

The next question is, what are the
instruments of commerce? Answer:
First, money; second, transportation;
third, communication. Now, instead
of Congress regulating these instru-
ments In the interest of the people it
has farmed the regulation of the
money of the country to a few thous-
and banks, to be run in the interest of
themselves. Instead of regulating the
transportation In the interest of the
people Congress has farmed it out to
a few railroad corporations. With the
exception of the postage system it has
farmed the mean of communication
to a few telegraph and telephone COR
p%orations and run In their own inter-
ests and not In the interest of the
people. Congress has sown to the
wind and the country is reaping the
whirlwind. I believe that the most of
our young men fresh from colleges
hold to Mr.. WiIfey's views of the
economic questions of the day. In
my Judgement, to have such un-Amer-
lean, such Tory ideas taught in our
colleges is q sad commentary on the
great Democratic State of Missouri.
The people are not looking around
for a new system by which banks of
issue may be perpetuated, but they
are seeking for the abolition of all
such institutions and will inaugurate
q system Of government issue that
will furnish an ample, safe and sound
currency and will ave to the people
enough in interest in the first year to
pay Of the public debt. We are max
ing no war on individuals. We think no
less of q man because he is a member
of q bank of issue. The banker did not
make the law that brought the insti-
tuition into existence. II the people
of a town want whisky sold within its
limits we don't blame the man who
sells It. So we are making the fight
on vicious institutions.
Look at the legislation of the past
thirty years. It has been q series OF
jobs for the benefit of capitalistic
monopolies and not one act for the
benefit Of the farmer.
Congress and Legislatures have
ceased to represent the people. The
lobby alone constitutes their clientage.
This Ia not to be wondered at. They
are not only encouraged in 1t by re-
election, but r paid for it by the
benefciaries Of their venality.
The producing classes have the
power OF protection and redress in
their own hands, but Notwithstanding
they have been dayed by inferior
number they march TO the polls like
! lambs to the slaughter and, under the
