FEDERAL COU RT.
A V,ry Short Session Held Yesterday
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Filed in
Suit.

There was a short session Of the
Federal Court yesterday morning, when
several Of the most important cases on
the docket were under consideration in
some form.
The bill of particulars was filed by
the plaintiff company in the suit OF
the Grafton Coal and Coke Company
against w. I. Rainey & Co., the well
known coal operators. Short argu-
ments were made by counsel and the
matter continued until next Saturday.
The plaintiff sues defendant for
amounts aggregating about $4,000,
most being for coal alleged to have
been sold to defendant.
In the case of East Liverpool Bridge
Company VS.. w. c. lutte, ct al, the
petition of R. G. Glover against R. S.

sive 1t a larger vote than they did in
1896. The workings of the gold stand
ard have convinced no thinking man
that the position of the Democrats, as
declared at Chicago, was wrong, and
every one who supported the cause in
1896 will do so again in 1900 and their
ranks will be increased by many con-
verts. But whether this issue will be
prominent in 1900 or not is not de-
cided. There are a great many other
things of vital Importance TO the coun-
try which will be brought forward, and
it may or may not obscure the money
question. Opposition to the trusts
which are now forming so rapidly is
sure to become an issue and that will
again make the tariff prominent. Then
again the policy of imperialism. advo-
Gated by the administration, win be
bitterly opposed. The prosecution OF
this war against the Filipinos will not
receive the sanction OF the American
people. There will be no lacking OF
issues. All the Democracy has to do IS
to get together and patch up past diff
ferences. And this viii be done.
