SUPERIOR COURT CASES.

At the' short calendar session of the superior court yesterday morning At torney Pigott sought to have an order of court entered compelling the plain- tiff to undergo a physical examination by a physician. The plaintiff, Frank Clarity, jr., is suing Sisk Brothers for damages for injuries received by col lison with team belonging to the de- fendants.
 Attorney Hamilton protested that this was unusual, and demurred against entry of the order.
 Judge Ralph Wheeleh refused to en- ter the order saying that he assumed that the plaintiff would be willing to submit to such an examination when the trial actually was on. Failing to submit to it voluntarily then he would consider the entry of the order.

WILL GO TO PROBATE COURT.
 One of the reasons assigned in the appeal from the probate of the will of William Keegan now in the superior court is that the will was not executed under seal. A demurrer to the reasons assigned was argued by Lawyers Ham, ilton and Ullman yesterday morning before Judge Wheeler Although the practice of the lawyers has been to make wills sealed instruments it was pointed out that the statute did not ex- pressly demand it. The demurrer to the reasons included other questions of law and so Judge Wheeler reserved his decision. Lawyer F. J. Maher appear ed with MT.

EDITOR GODKIN FOR BRYAN.

+. l.. .GoDKIN, formerly editor of
the New York Framing Post, which
supported Mckinley in 1896, comes out
violently against him in 1900. IL one
part Of letter to the Post he says:
81 consider any man who has not
done these things for which McKin-
ley is responsible) as more fit for the
Presidency than Mckinley, even if
that other man were considered cap
able of doing them.n
In another place be says:
"There is no denying that Mckinley
has committed class of faults I'M
known to former Presidents. He has
disregarded the Constitution bv annex
ing foreign provinces without the au-
thority Of law. He has employed 65.-
OOO Americans to massacre FOREIGNERS
who had done him no injury and to
destroy their homes He hes declared
war, without notice, upon a friendly
people, to whom he had first promised
peace ana cooperation. He has allow
ed his subordinate officers to denoupce
the organic law which created them as
worn out and of no effect. He has. in
fact, done all the things which usually
precede coup d'etat, whether under
julius Cesar or Louis Napoleon, and.
what Is unheard of in history, he has
secured Congress in connivance with
him.

ROOSEVELT THEN AND NOW.

On the 3rd day of last April Presi-
dent David Starr Jordan, of Leland
Stanford University, said IN an inter-
view, when asked which view of the
issue of imperialism, McKinley's or
Bryan's, was gaining most among the
people;
Let me quote Roosevelt on
that. He said to me last week:
"JOrdan, l wish to God we
were Off the Philippines and
had them off our hands, and
many other Republicans are
thinking the same"
| am free to quote Roosevelt, be-
cause | consider him in many respects
one of the greatest men in the Repub-
lican party.
How do you like Mckinley? was
asked President Jordan.
Let me quote you Roosevelt again,
was his reply, He said to me: NC

as toy chocolate man that you can
see on any confectioner's stand He is
a terrible disappointment.

A SHARP CONTRAST.

The Philadelphia Times, one of the
latest converts to the cause of Bryan
and the people, in a leading editorial
on Wednesday, say:
William Mckinley and William
Jennings Bryan stand out in the told
st possible contrast as representative
of hostile forms of thought, of opposite
views regarding questions of public
concern. The one plant, subServient,
easily moulded TO the designs of I'M
scrupulous and wicked men; the other
strong, honest, courageous in the right
for the sake of the right, steaGfast in
devotion TO the welfare of his country
men.
The eyes of the people have seen and
have recognized the vast gulf separat-
ing these two chosen leaders OF the con
teuding forces. They have discerned
in Mr.. Mckinley the figurehead Of
degraded and degrading political sy>-
TEN nurtured by accumulated wealth
and lawles- power, hating at nothing
to secure the fruits of Unsuitable greed;
imperling tie nigh ideals of free
government and subiecting Republican
institutions to the faint of imperialism
They Rave seen in Mr.. Bryan tie mau

Once again the freemen Of this coun-

Chief Magistrate and Representatives
in Congress. The contest between the
Democracy and what it stands for, and
the Republican party and what it
stands for, is conceded to be the most
vital aud far-reaching one since the
Civil war. Whether we are to con-
tinue the present and prospective policy
of the Republican party, which, in the
mature opinion of many Of our wisest
and ablest statesmen, is, to say to least,
fraught with grave danger to the fu-
ture prosperity and happiness of our
land, or whether we shall return to the
faith Of the fathers, by which the
United States became the first Repub-

will be decided at the election i'm No

Of every citizen Of this State TO cast his

NO SEPARATION.

Republicans say we have outraged
the Constitution and that the flag has
been severed from its long and beue-
fetal association. Tuey send the flag
toPorto Rico and let the priceless Dec
laration Of our Independencere remain at
home. They connived the overthrow
of the Hawaiian government and now
seek TO plant the flag in the Philip
pines, Watered by the blood Of thou
sands Of our soldier-citizens. In this
connection the Philadelphia Record
says:
And, pray, if the constitution
does not follow the flag, what
does the flag symbolic when
the constitution stops, and the
flag advances alone? Not the
Republic: for the constitution
is the bond and seal of the Re-
public-tear off the constitution
and the Republic, with its flag,
sinks into fragments. Not GER
tainly the governments; for the
government is but the cOnStitu-
ton executed. The flag is only
the emblem of the government
as the government is only the
embodiment Ofthe.constitution.
The flag is the sign; the cOnsti-
tuition the thing si9nified. Let
us have done with the treason
able folly of trying to sever
them. The flag without the
