THE CARDWELL CASE.
Editorial, st. Louis Republic.

Editorial, st. Louis Republic.

st. Louis. | have settled and dis
missed suit. Act accordingly.
W. 0. CARDwELL.
The above, purporting to be tel
egram, appeared in the Post-Dis-
patch yesterday. Ifthis refers to the
suit against The Republic, as indi-
Gated by the context Of the article in
which it appeared, and if it was writ
ten, as purported, by W.. o. Cardwell,
then we have to say that Mr.. Card
we'll absolutely and UNANIMOUSLY lied.
This language is used deliberately,
because it was the same language
which, in his suit against The Re
public, Mr.. Cardwell declared to be
libelous. That there may be no mis-
take in the matter, we repeat that il
Mr.. Cardwell says he has Settled
and dismissed" the suit against The
Republic he absolutely and Infamous
ly lies.
That he has dismissed the suit, We
cannot doubt. All advices are tC
that effect.
That he has settled the suit is moi
true, and if SO stated by him, is, w
repeat again, absolutely and infa
mously false.

representatives "settled" the case or
ever considered the question OF set
Element. From the beginning The
Republic has refused to pay one
penny, has refused to retract one
word, or to qualify one expression,
it had published. Mr.. Cardwell
knows that he has had no conference
with any representative OF The Re-
public. He knows that he has not
received one dollar OF The Republics
money and from The Republic not a
whisper of apology.
1t is reported that he admits hav-
ing received money. If this be true,
we challenge him to state who paid
him the money and how much he
was paid.
In the letter of which Mr.. Cardwell
complained and for the publication
of which he sued The Republic, there
was no reflection upon his reputa-
ton and no impeachment of his
character comparable with that con-
tanned in the telegram at the head
of this article, il it be genuene.
1t was The Republic he had charg-
ed with libeling him, and, if his
charge was true, from The Republic
his reparation was due. To take
money from another source, and for
such money to dismiss the case, and
leave The Republic unrepentant and
deiying, is to engage in barter too
Infamous for apt characterization in
decent speech.
The man who does such a thing
puts his honor upon the auction
block and hucksters it in places and
at prices to suit whomsoevsr is will
ling to buy.
The suit has been dismissed, but il
has not been settled, and will not
be. The Republic stands upon its
defense. 1t dares Mr., Cardwell to
the issue now, as it has from the be-
ginning. 1t leaves to Mr.. Cardwell
whatever he has gotten, if anything,
as clear gain, with his original stock
Of injured reputation intact and un
impaired,

Drummer is studentin a mechan-
zeal institute On Monday he took
an electric car ride to Lancaster to
examine machinery being installed
there.
When he got off the car near De-
pew he was approached by a man
about 40 years old, who offered to
show him the way to the shop.
Drummer soon found himself the
prisoner of five tramps, who searched
him and took everything of value he
had. They would send the boy to
the front door of house to ask for
money, and while he engaged the at
tention of the inmates they would go
in the back door and rob the house
He escaped from them at Alden,
but they caught him again and took
him to Alexander. Before going into
Bavaria the robber band separated

ware store in Batavia. While tn
tramp was trying to steal some
thing Drummer dashed out the bacl
door and found histway to the polio

dent ROOsevelt's Recent Message.
Lincoln, Neb., Dec. 13.-W. J. Bry-
an in the Commoner to-day discusses
President Roosevelt's message. He
opens by saying it contains much
that is cemmendable and then at
tacks the Administrations utterances
on most of the important points.
He says the president is mistaken
when he assumes there is general ac-
quiescence in our present tariff ar
rangements, continuing:
"None can read the reciprocity
passage withoutIbeing convinced that
the reciprocity idea will be entirely
subordinanted to the demands ofthe
benefciaries of the high tariff, In
fact he says as much when he declares
reciprocity smust be treated as the
handmaiden ofprotection, and there.
fore, like:the handmaiden, is subject
to discharge on short notice.
The Commoner then calls attention
to the absence of mention of the
Boer war and holds that the financial
question is too important to be dis
missed in 300 words as it is in the
message. On the trust passage,
Bryan says;
"Perusal of these utterances will
convince sthe unprecedented observer
that thel president has heard from
the trustsmagnates since he made his
Minneapolis speech He admits the
consolidation Of capital now going
on but thinks mush of the antago-
nism to it is without warrant. He
borrows the phraseology of the trust
defenders when he says the average
man was never so prosperous as now.
The inference is natural-that the
trust evil is not really serious. 1t is
doubtful whether anyone as badly
scared as the president seems to beis
in proper frame Of mind to calmly
consider an antitrust law. Hegives
the benefit of doubt to the corpora.
tons and nowhere expresses asmuch
solicitude for the masses as for the
great combinations of capital.
"The Commoner thinks thesugges
ton of regulation through publicity
would result in a long legal fight
which would tide the party over an
other presidential election.
Moreover, it says, the president
fails to recognize that any privat,
monopoly is always menace to thu
public and essentially and eternally
wrong. As to Imperialism, the Com
moner says:
"The president seems to regard G
government based on force as thu

The North American says we paid

Who disputed IL: That title had stood
Tor 400 years. The title OF the United
States government TO any part OF our
continental domain is an infant COM
pared to that. All the world recoE-
nlzes the validity OF the sovereignty
which Spain transferred TO US.

bemoan the dollars additional TO those

tear as. one after another. they pass
out OF our national cash boS-the dol
lars we have paid for the army. the
navy. for peace commissions. for more
Islands, for interest on war loans, and
for pensions. But most of those dol

and are stiii in the United States.

with the remark that the cSpend!-

are larger than was the entire cost OF
the government before the war with
Spain. and there Is no prospect thar
they VIII fall to their former level"

Our independent Republican cortem-

can, appears TO be in hopeless state
of mind respecting the investment of
the United States in oriental islands.
The mournful jeremiah, in his most
lachrymose moods. Is n rather cheer
full writer when one turns to his lucu-
North American Philippine editorial.
Its dolorous dirges over our departed
dollars sets n rafting pace for special
lists in tear-pumping rhetoric. If wall
ing would bring those dollars back to
our treasury TO join n magnificent ac-
emulation of their fellows in that af-
fluent receptacle of the peoples cash,
there might be some sense in keeping
up the howl. But they are not likely
to return Immediately. ut may be
years, and it may be forever" before
they will begin the return movement.

hope of anything but loss in this con-
nection, for 1t says that ''up to date we

Rasmussen appealed to the Suprc mo

appealed to the Supreme Court of the

ex-senator Arthur Brown and Henry

tended that the Supreme Court of
