this view did not find countenance in

THE STANDARD OIL CASE
UNABlE no 90 THIS, IT TRiED BRIBERY
This Also Failing. /, Called in the Aid II The
Republican Party and Thus Succeed
ed in Hurting Him From

(By the Associated Press

New Lexington. Ohio. Oct. i3-Mr.
Bryan referred in both his Circieviiie
and Lancaster speeches 10 the case OF
Attorney General Monnett. OF this State.
At Lancaster he made that official the
principal theme OF his discourse, saying
Il want TO cali the attention OF Re.ub-
licans 10 something which has taken
place in their own State. and | want IL
ask the Republicans whether they can
AFFORD TO endorse what has been done by
before me parents who are raising sons.
and those parents are hoping FOR great
things for their sons. want TO tell you
what has occurred in connection with
young men in Ohio.
There was a young Republican OF nbn-
ity and OF character nominated for Al
torney General OF the State OF Ohio. When
he entered upon the duties OF his ofacs
he took an oath to perform these duties
TO the best OF his ability, and in the
course OF his duty he was called upon IN
suit under the laws OF this
State against "A great private monopoly.
the Standard Oil Company. and as soon
as he commenced suit the company began
its persecution and its opposition.
1T first tried TO Brighten him out OF
doing his duty, then IL tried TO bride him
out OF doing his duty. and when IL could
neither tighten nor bribe. II went 10 the
Republican party and defeated him fGr
doing his duty.
II want to ask you parents whether
you want to hold before your sons az an
ideal tho RpnIhl{ran marty No IL nnvy
stands. where a young man like Mo.:nett
must be driven out OF the party because
he dares to defend the laborer. the
farmer and the business man from tie
extortion OF private monopoly.
"Republican fathers. can you AFFORD TO
tell your sons that it Is better for n man
TO betray a trust than 10 DO his duty
Can you tell your sons that II is better
for a man to violate his oath OF oflbe
than to risk the hostility OF a great corno-
ration?
If onnett can leave the Republican
party, cannot the farmer and laboring
man and business men whose interest
he tried to protect. afford to leave the
Republican party. or will you say that
you are so welded to the Republican
party that you would rather stay with tho
Republicans and defend the monopolies OF
this country than to leave the Republican
party even for a brief time in order 10
obtain relief from them"
Continuing. Mr.. Bryan said that this OPP
position to the enforcement OF laws was
not confined TO the State OF Ohio but wos
found in the Republican administrator
OF the affairs Of the nation. He con
trasted the conduct Of the affairs OF the
nation with the conduct OF the legal
business Of his own State OF Nebraska.
where he said the Democratic ATTORNEY
General was obeying the law and prose
cutting the trusts.

Mandamus.
AND THEY CANT GET OUT
THE COURT BUSY DoOGING THE QUESTION
But "0Aie's' Attorney is Disposed to Force

May Be Some interesting
Dew. l)pments la'er,

The Supreme court of North Caro-
lima just now doesn't know exactly
where it is at.
And it all has come about on account
of its decision of a certain political
case last Spring-that of Theophilus
White. chief shell fish commissioner.
The Legislature, at its session in
1899, made some changes in the oyster
laws, elected new commissioners. re
duced the salary and expressly direct
further money to White, the former
Shell fish commissioner.
White appealed TO the Supreme
court. That tribunal said he was still
shell fish commissioner; and on May
goth, last. by a bare majority. gave
Judgment against the State for the
amount claimed by White. To this
opinion Justices Clark and Montgom-
cry dissented.
When the Legislature met in July it
passed a resolution of inquiry to ascer-
tain whether or not the State Treas
- Itt " :" = oi't - 49,
to Whites salary, evidently intending
to take some action in ease the money
had been paid out. Treasurer Worth
replied that he had paid White no
money.
Though the judgment has now been
filed some five months. no attention
had ever been paid to it by either the
State Auditor or Treasurer. so on
the first week of this term Mr.. j. {. l..
Harris. Whites attorney. went before
the court and made a motion for a
, peremptory mandamnus. The court
did not grant the motion.
It did not. however, explicitly refuse
it. and so the matter went over for g
week. and on last Tuesday morning
Mr.. Harris again renewed his motion
for a peremptory mandamus.
Again the court has evaded it
neither issuing the order asked for,
nor declining to grant it.
AS Mr.. Harris expresses a determl-
! nation TO force the matter to a decis-
ion. and as the Legislature meets in
+, less than three months from now. the
situation is decidedly interesting.

perialism fs Settled.
During the visit of Senator Chauncey NJ.
Depew to New Haven last night, to speak
to the Yale students. under the auspices of
the Yale Republican Club, President Arthur
T. Hadley created a sensation by making
the only public declaration he has made on
the great political questions of the cam
paign. He told how he would vote. He is
Mckinley supporter.
When the Yale Bryan and Stevenson Club
wended its way IN parade to President Had
ley's home last Wednesday, on the way to
the meeting at which former Gov. Altgeld
Of Illinois was to speak. repeated cheers
and calls for him failed to bring President
Hadley out as political speaker, and the
impression grew that he would remain neu-
trail last night.
But a long cheer brought him to the side
veranda Of his home. where. in the glow of
hundreds Of torches and red fire, President
Hadley said with great deliberateness:
"Gentlemen Of Yale, about ten years ago
the question of imperialism was settled
when We began to build battle ships instead
OF land coast defenses. The democratic
party under President Cleveland and Secre-
tary Olney tried another. Now, young gen.
tlemen, have high regard for Mr. Olney.
Il have also a high personal regard for
Mr.. Bryan, but am reminded of the story
Of the man who lost his wife Friend upon
friend tried to console him on her loss. but
he said. very simply, Well, I never did like
her.
But II we are to have imperialism. I
would rather have 1t by such men as Mr..
Hay and Mr.. Root rather than by any one
that I now see in the democratic party's
ranks. I am a humble individual, but,
young men. I am going to cast my vote for
William Mckinley"
Cheering at this point was so loud and
long that President Hadley had to force
the students to listen.
Il congratulate you upon your opportun-
ity tonight in that you are about to hear
Senator Depew," he said. Il wish you god
speed"

THE RISE IN WAGES.
An Interesting Bulletin Issued By
Commissioner Wright.

Carroll D. Wright, commissioner of labor
has issued bulletin showing the rise In
wages in various occupations for q period
extending back in most cases from the
present year to 1891 The data were Sc
cured directly from the pay rolls Of ss-
tablishments in all sections of the coun-
try. The Information contained pertains to
14S establishments, representing % indus-
tries and 1872 occupations. These items for
which data for the whole period were not
given were excluded from consideration IN
the summary. All the data included, except
those for mining, relate to manufacturing
industries. the data relative to steam rail-
roads and street railways having been ex-
cluded from the summary.
The bulletin says that while the data
from which the table Of wages was pre-
pared do not afford the basis for strictly
scientific calculation of relative wages,
careful examination Of the figures leads to
the belief that they are fairly representa-
tive and undoubtedly approximate very
closely the actual conditions for the whole
country. The summary follows the aver
age of wages for 1891. being taken as q
basis and representing 100:
