the public men of America appreciate

War Revenue Indie ment Against Chicago Stock
Yards Exchange Must Stand.

Chicago. Nov. Judge Grosscup of
the United States circuit court, today
rendered a decision upholding the con-
stitutionality of the war revenue act,
deciding that transactions on the Stock
Yards Exchange We're subject to tax. The
decision was made in the case against
Charles Ingwerzen, charged with neg
lect to stamp memoranda, Judge Gross
cup refusing to guash the indictment.
1t is expected the case will be carried
to the United States superior court.
The court contended that the inten-
ton of Congress in framing the act
was to name certain great marts of
commerce where taxes could be easily
levied. Judge Grosscup said druggists
and department stores could be sirni-
larly taxed, but it would be impossible
to collect taxes of that nature.

Indianapolis, Nov. THE indications
are that the vote cast in Indiana, to-
morrow, vii be about 10 per cent. short
Of that of 1896. The campaign by the
Republicans has been more aggressive
than that of the Democrats. Each side
is claiming the state. Not since 1872
have the people of the state. in an off
year, voted to sustain the administra-
ton in power at Washington. The Re-
publicans claim to have taken the most
complete poll in the history of the state
and which indicates a Republican ma
jority of $4,000. The Democrats have
not made public their poll. OF the IS
Congressional districts four are GER

Murphy said the Republicans would

governor and secure control OF the Leg
islature. Mr.. Murphy says the Repub.
licans will carry the state by from 1000
to 10000 plurality.
At Democratic headquarters Chair
man Gourley stated that the outlook
was favorable for the Democrats and
that he with Senator Smith and Mr..
Crane, the Democratic candidate for
Governor, had the utmost confidence of
carrying the state by from 5000 to 10000
plurality.
The congressional elections, it is
thought, will show Democratic gains Of
two or three in the delegation of eight.
The most probable complexion of the
congressional delegation seems to be
five Republicans and three Democrats.
