DENSEO FORM.
Moore Case File Their Brief with
with Supreme Court-Claim to Be
Liable Only for His Official Acts.
The Moore Case.

| The counsel for the sureties in the Eu-
| gene Moore bond case have filed their brief
with the clerk of the supreme court. After
reciling the wording of the bond the brief
| says:
1T is clear from the language quoted
| that the sureties upon the bond bound
themselves only to make good the loss of
money received by the principal by virtue
Of his Office and by authority of law. They
did not guarantee the honesty of this con
Duct nor undertake to indemnify persons
dealing with him outside his official ca
paclty, for the consequences of his acts.
They did not extend or limit his authority
as auditor. They bound themselves solely
70 make good the loss of money received
officially.
''It is obvious that so far as the sureties
on the bond are concerned, there is and
can be no question Of honesty, morality or
fair dealing; and that the contract of such
sureties is to be strictly construed"
After quoting number of authorities to
show that there could be no conviction or
Judgment where the receipt of the money
embezzled was unauthorized by law, the
brief takes up the question of estoppel, as
follows:
''lt is finally urged that the sureties are
estopped to deny the cOnstitutiOnality of
the law under which the fees were re-
celved. The best answer TO this argument
Is that the suretes do not deny the con-
stltutionality of that law. They merely
aver that since the adoption of the present
constitution that law, so far as il touches
the right OF the auditor to receive fees, has
been non-existent. Here is no question of
law to be upheld until declared uncon-
stltutIonal, but simple case of no law at
all. There is no principle or precedent by
Which party to suit can be estopped to
aver the non existence of a law"

for the third time of having joined
'cOnfederacies,' determining what labor
they would or would not do, had their
ears cut off Against such arbitrary
regulations and Notwithstanding such
disadvantages, 'confederacies' of work
men still increased. And it is a fact
now recognized by historians that both
England's greatness and English free

TO the success of this resistance 1t is
also an established historical fact that
where un1OniSm has been weak wa ges

s1stance not only has political and in
dustr1al deGpotism been routed and the
area of freedom extended, but the
hours of labor have been reduced in
some cases One-half. With increasing
opportunities to advantageously con-
tract, with more hours of leisure, with
consequent higher standard of COM
fort, the toilerS not only rose in i'm
portance and worth as citizens. but
with broadenee vision and keener in
tellect, rose above the restriction of
single trade 'confederacies' to the more
comprehensive idea of general trade
federation. In this they have but fol-
lowed the line of all progress-in-

sympathy, interdependence and frater-

Immediately following our late civil
war two striking phases of our indus
trial history began to assume i'm

nation had vastly increased demand.
z. The Capitalization forced upon the
government for self-preservation, in
eVftably extended to commercial and
industrial relations. The toilers early
felt the increased pressure and as
naturally sought relief Hence, on the
goth of August, 1866, the year following
the close of the war, delegates from
sixty labor organizations met in Bal
timore, and as a result of their DELHI
erations founded permanent national
organization, which will be remem-
bered as the National Labor union.

no cooking utensils were used, and
there were none in any considerable
numbers, then it is fairly presumabla
that half-roasted or even raw meat
was daily but morbid luxury AS no
dishes were then available to those
people of the plains, historic incidents
point the way to an understanding of
the custom usual among the Indians
in cutting away long strips of flesh,
which, when held by one end in the
left hand. the teeth, and knife in the
right hand, were used to detach a por-
ton for mastication, which, followed
by repeated and similar fashionable
acts at the savage repast, soon gorged
the recipient with a meal of meat,
cooked or uncooked, according to
taste, or the conveniences at the time
available, the whole being washed
down with the contents of an intestine
filed with blood.
All these customs, ways and habits
were of historic knowledge, impaired

Society at the capitol was placed last
evening, a unique volume, describing
the rediscovery of the Province Of
Quivira, the final termination of one Of
the most remarkable marches in Amer
lean history, under a Spanish captain
general, Francisco VaZgueZ Coronado,
commencing Feb. %, 1910, and ending
late in the autumn of 1912.
The author of the volume, J. V.
Brewer, has addressed the dedicatory
page to the State Historical society, of
Kansas, for the reason that 1t is the
original discovery of that state, by
Coronado, 357 years ago, which forms
the subject Of the memoir Minnesota

The Spaniards in July, 1541, reached
a place called Quivira, where the most
remarkably wild and savage Indians
of the plains were located. hunting the
buffalo and fighting for possession of
the ranges.

Gen. Booths idea is not alone to look
over the work and the progress Of the

and Canada, but in travelling through
these countries, he will confer with

Antietam was substantially a draw game ex-
cept that for invader such balance of
honors amounts to a defeat, and for the de-
tenders victory. The Union army doubtless
slighdy outnumbered it's opponent, but this
advantage Mcclellan lost through his dis
position to await condition of ideal
pleteness in the way of preparation before
doing anything. The Union attack was sue
cessive, not massed, and many regiments
available were not brought into actual bat
tie. Then the military critics say it was
fought one day, or perhaps two days too
late, and it was one of the bloodiest battles
of all the war. 1t will be recalled that Presi-
dent Lincoln, in obedience to a predetermina-
ton, when he heard that the rebel march
had been checked at Antietam, resolved to is
sue his emancipation proclamation. Thus
Antietam holds a unique place among the
battles of the Rebellion. 1t was fought among
people essentially Unionst in their sym
pathies 'Mountaineers are always free
men," and the Western Marylander had had
no use for slavery. The institution. although
legal was practically non-existent in this

In a recent circular issued by the
American Federation of Labor its an
tecedents and origin are described in
the following language: The idea of
a universal combination of the toiIers
is the logical result of Industrial prog
ress. For ages this has been but
dream; today it is nearly an actual
realization. The emancipation of the
serfs left laborers free, but weak and
helpless. On the other hand, the ris-
ing class of employers, the possessors
of capital, were also the possessors of
power. The full hitory of England as
a nation only begins with the rise Of
the artisan class seeking strength In
union. Over and over statutes were
passed regulating not only wages, but
dress, food, hours of labor, limits of
travel, etc. These were legislatively
defined for toilers. vigorous contest
early arose between employers and
employed; the former relying on coer-
Give measures, the latter forced into
voluntary combinations. In fact, 1t

The two principal settlements, known
as the Elliott village site on the south

their habits and customs.

site was occupied by Indians previous
to the introduction of fire arms and the
appliances then usually customary
among civilized people.
The male portion of the community
