A SIGNIFICANT DECISION.

The Supreme court of the United
States has recently rendered de-
cision which must be bewildering to
the people who have been trying for
the past ten years to make themselves
believe that the Judiciary was owned,
body and soul, by the plutocracy.
The decision was one which sustains
the right of State to enact an eight
hour law and in its opinion the court
used this very significant language:
1.-THE legislature has recognized the
fact, which the experience of legisla-
lures in many states have corroborat-
ed, that the proprietors of these estab-
lishments and their operatives do not
stand upon an equality, and that their
interests are, to certain extent, con-
nicting. The former naturally desire
to obtain as much labor as possible
from their employees, while the latter
are often induced by the fear of dis
charge to conform to regulations
which their judgment, fairly exercised,
would pronounce to be detrimental to
their health or strength. In other
words, the proprietors lay down the
rules, and the laborers are practical
ly constrained to obey them. In such
cases self-interest is often an unsafe
guide, and the legislature may proper
ly interpose its authority. 1t may
not be improper to suggest lin this
connection that although the prosecu-
tion in this case was against the en-
ployer of labor, who apparently, un-
der the statute, is the only one liable,
his defense is not so much that his
right to contract has been infringed
upon, but that the act works peculiar
hardship to his employees, whose
right to labor as long as they
choose is alleged thereby to be violat-
ed. The argument would certainly
come with better grace and greater
cogency from the latter class. But
the fact that both parties are of full
age and competent to contract does
not necessarily deprive the State of
the power to interfere, when the
parties do not standup an equality,
or where the public health demands
that one party to the contract shall be
protected against himself. The State
still retains an interest in his welfare,
| however reckless he may be. The
whole is no greater than the sum of
all the parts, and when the individual
health, safety and welfare are sacri-
feed or neglected the State must
suffer-"

Allen County Land Decision.

A decision from Judge Hook, of the
United States Circuit court has been
received and placed on record here. 1t
seems to be judicial opinion passed
on the report of the cases and, over
ruling all the other exceptions to the
report, sustains it in the cases of the
N. L. Ard and the George A. Fry
land.
The ruling states that the patent
from the U. S. to the NJ. X. 81 7. OF
November 3, 1873, to the west half OF
the southeast quarter of 2-26-2O and
the deed by which said roadsconveyed d
the land to G. H. Pratt on June 6,
1889, are hereby cancelled. A similar
decision is reached in the case of the
southeast quarter of lS-26-2O, and the
deed from the railway to G. w. Glib
son and his later transfer to p. S,
Hoffman, in which Geo. A. Fry nov
holds an interest.

Dave Beatty is in it.

A dispatch from Beaumont to the
morning papers say:
The largest sale yet consummated in
the Beaumont oil district was made
to-day, when 81, 250, 900 was paid for
the property of the Texas Western
Oil Company, formerly the South
Western Oil Company, of Corsicana.
The buyers get the Beatty gusher,
which has producing capacity of
1000 barrels per day. The sale was
effected by Charles d. Pullen, of New
York city, for capitalists headed by
r. L. Henry, of Chicago.
This is one of the three companies
of which Dave Beatty, formerly OF
lola, is interested. Just what interest
he has is not known. The Corsicana
company is an old one and has opera
ted a refinery and perhaps fifty wells
for some ten years and their property
is valuable, but of course hebiggu
er, called the "Beatty Well" and in
which Dave has good interest, was
the cause of the sale. Those bes
posted incline to the belief that his
share of the price cannot be less thar
between $50,000 and $780, 900. Mr.
Beatty is a brother-in-law to the Evans
brothers, but they manage to keep at
work at the corner store all day.

BIG STORE CLOSING OUT
The New York Store Planning to QUIT
Business and Sell Out Its
Entire Stock OF Dry Goods

The New York Store is running
now probably the biggest of any
special sale and closing out sale ever
held in the county.
The business is now owned by Mr..
M. H. Holman and Sol Winetraub,
and for reasons of their own they
have decided to sell out. Both ex-
press perfect satisfaction with the,co
dition Of trade, SO good indeed that
neither will give the other the price
asked for the others interest in the
store. And Mr.. Winetraub expressed
regret that the sale should come right
now, with the stock filled up for the
spring trade, and at q time when II
will be most injurious to other
merchants. But the die is cast and
out will go the $40, 900 stock, he says,
and when it is sold down and rem
nants are left, there will be an auction
sale that will clean out the goods to
the last pin.
Neither of the members of the firm
have very definite plans for the future.
Both are dry goods men and both will
probably engage in the same business
again, but not in partnership, and
perhaps not here. lola is interested
and the REGISTER would regret very
much to see the handsome stock
permanently removed from town with
out another to take its place.

RoIIa Puckett,s FoOt Amputated.

Pittsburg Headlight: Rolla Puckett
who came here from lola about two
months ago and entered the City hos
pital, underwent an operation yester-
day. One of his feet was found &C.
essary to amputate. He had been in
jured in the smelters and the injury
had been dressed by lola physicians,
but unfortunately it did not improve
and gave Puckett much trouble which
constantly increased until he at length
concluded to ,come to Pittsburg and
enter the City hospital. The nature
of his trouble was by this time such
that nothing could prevent its becom-
ing necessary to amputate the foot.

MRS. NATION PAST AND PRESENT

When Mrs. Nation first appeared in
theipublic eye it was in the character
of a self-forgetting reformer, filled
with righteous rage against the
whisky business, fanatical, but un-
selfish and with large measure of
her@ism. In that character she COM
manded respect and degree of ad-
miration, even from those who did
not approve of either the method or
the purpose of her crusade.
But all that is changed now. The
woman has degenerated, or developed, +,
into a common scold, a mercenary
seeker after notoriety, At Lawrence
on Easter Sundays she took the opera
house which Congressman Bowersock
with mistaken generosity turned over
to her free Of charge, charged ten
cents admission to the crowd of idly
curious who wanted to see and heal
her, and for an hour scolded and
scolded and scolded, She talked very
little about temperance, nothing at al
about the sublime significance of the
day that all Christendom was cele
brating. She simply scolded ,-fol
the money there was in it.
And that is u fair sample of hel
occupation for these past six weeks
She started newspaper in the hop'
