It must afford some consolation to Mrs. Carrie
Nation and the Home Defenders to know that
Judge McAuley is in favor OF total abstinence.

trate, as he sent "plain drunk" to the work
house, 81 would net only close every saloon in
the country, Sundays and week days, but
would stop the sale of Intoxicating liquors in
any shape OF for any purpose whatsoever. l
"This may appear to be far-reaching, but
the sentiment is justified by the sights and ex-
periences in this court room. Ninety.hve per
cent of the cases tried here are the direct result
of whisky. The other five per cent includes
morphine and cocaine 6ends, and the few petty
grievances that come before me for adjustment.
Mind, now am not saying anything against
the saloon men. 1t is the stuff they sell that
causes all the trouble. There are very few
people in this world of ours who know how to
drink whisky; and this reminds me OF the
Kentucky colonel's opinion: 'One drink OF
whisky said he, lis enough Two is one too
IN iny, and three are not half enough Or
course, we shall never see the DAY when whisky
shall not be sold to any one with the money to
pay for it, and just so long as 1t shall continue
to be sold, just so long shall we have police
courts and crime. There's nothing particular
y original about these remarks, but their truth
is borne in upon the mind by the things we see
and hear The woes that arise from the use Ut
whisky, the ruined men and women, the broken
families, the griefs and tears, all aired IN this
court, are enough to turn gray the hair on a
buffalo robe.

the Carnegie company, as is usually the case,

pie of that concern asked Mr.. Carnegie and
Co. to get off their backs, and they asked in no
uncertain terms. But Carnegie and Co. refused,
and did so in just as unmistakable terms. This
was the Homestead strike, with its Pinkerton

its riot and murder. And this is the evidence

more than is enough for this; not to seek
enormous profits and dividends, but to allow
the income earned by the laborers to 60 to
them in higher wages; not to besiege congress,
and, by means fair or foul, to secure special
privileges which levy taxes upon the whole
people, and make and keep them poor; not to
accept incomes which he has not earned him
self, but which either some one else, or the
community, has produced; and finally, and
what is the sum of all, not to uphold system
in which these injustices prevail, vitiating the
moral sense and violating the principles OF
Justice, but to stand frankly and persistently
for social order of justice. This is the duty
of tn. rich man, and there is no duty greater
than this, that can come before it or take its
place.

again quote Harlan:
81 take leave to say that if the principle
now announced should ever receive the sanction
of majority of this court, the result will be
radical and mischievous change in our system
of government. We will, in that event, pass
from the era of constitutional liberty, guarded
and protected by written constitution, into an
era of legislative absolutism in respect OF many
rights that ale dear to all people who love
freedom"
1t has been pointed out heretofore that the
supreme court has been packed in the interests
of the money power. Now, the proof is con-
elusive.
AS Justice Harlan has presented the case, we
have already passed from the era of protective
constitutional liberty to that of legislative abb
solutism. We are now, in many of the inter
ests dear to liberty.loving people, turned over
to the tender .nercies of congress whose ma

soldier in the best period OF my life to establish
the principle that all men are created free and

del founded by our fathers, and maintained by
ourselves, on many bloody field, has been
undermined, and the flag so dear to all patriots
has been unfurled on fields of tyranny and dis
honor.
As has been said at other times, neither the
spirit or genius of our institutions justified the
use of armies in destroying life and property OF
a people who did not wish to become part OF
the American nation. Now, in order to justify
the first great wrong, the eDnspirato1s have
rended asunder the safeguar DIS Of the home

The free.born children are pla. ed upon the level

In the words of Patrick Henry: "Gentlemen
may cry Peace, peace; but there is no peace.
The war has actually begun" 1t began in
subterfuge. 1t began as begins the assassin.
But the facts art: none the less apparent, and

 BLATCHLEY

A large circle of friends will learn with sincere sorrow of the death of Mrs. Etta A. Crane, beloved wife of Noble S. Blatchley. Mrs. Biatchley died at $40 o'clock yesterday after noon at her home, Ill York street. She had been a very patient sufferer with an incurable maady for the last three years, and all that the best surgical and medical skill could do for her was unavailing, except to prolong her life. She was greatly esteemed by a large circle of friends. She was possessed of a beautiful disposition and her tender ness of heart and sympathetic nature were conspicuous traits of her lovable character She was native of Kill ingworth this state, where she resided until her marriage, which took place at North Madison, where MT. and Mrs. Blatchley resided for years.

ley. Colonel Callahan said that the
 pavement was a complete failure and that the material was rotting away and disappearing rapidly. He said that it was a detriment to property in the neighborhood and in three years it would be necessary to take it up and relay it. He said that property own CTS would not pay the assessments. The
 pavement was mo good and would
 never be any good" If the pavement
 was good the property owners would offer no objection to payment of the assessments.
 P J. Cronin appeared and asked if the brick for the pavement was not bought by Director Troup because it was cheap. He said that he would not resist paying for any pavement which was an honest pavement like that on Grove street
 Michael Mooney of 244 Chapel street said that after the rain last Sunday and the pavement had been thoroughly washed 1t reminded him of a badly neglected case of smallpox. It was mo good" he didn't care who bought it.
 Attorney Ward Church appeared to itplCSCllL IIcIiy Nf ANSWlOil, Nlio pWilo property on the street. and objected to the assessments saying that income from property there had not increased since the pavement was laid.
 C. q. Morris said that people who came to rent houses on the street ob- jected to the appearance of the pave ment. He said that if it was an hon est pavement people would not object to paying the assessments for it.
 James M. Coyne said that he was not satisfied with the pavement. He said that it was already worn through where horses stood upon it frequently.
 D. J. Maloney said that the pavement was gold brick. He was wiling to be assessed for an honest pavement but not for a gold brick
 The bureau of compensation decided upon no recommendation in regard to the assessment last night, but it was said that if there was an existing five year guarantee on the pavement the bureau would probably recommend that the pavement be relaid or put in proper condition before any assess ments were laid.

J. R. MCLEAN & cos MARKET
LETTER.


 New York, Dec. 19.-The stock market to-day was what might be described a waiting one-waiting on Copper stock S gymnastics. Now that the dividend ac- tion is known, on any further break you can begin to buy Copper, but do not forget to have ample margins banked against it's fluctuations.
 Reports of railroad earnings continue to show the same unfavorahle condi- tions throughout the country. In fact only for the partial failure of the corn crop this year, it is said that the prin- cipal corn roads would have been en- tirely unable to handle the immense traffic coming to them as a result of the present prosperity. Now that the Copper uncertainty is removed from the market we feel confident that the bull movement will immediately be resumed and we are undoubtedly at the begin ming of a period of decidedly buoyant and active markets. It is said that the coming report of Union Pacific will show about per cent earned on the common stock. Union Pacific, St. Paul. Atchison common and Peoples Gas are particularly recommended, for they will undoubtedly advance much higher, and that, too, very soon.
 Don't forget the Steel issues. We res mind you once more that they are the coming leaders of the next bull mar ket.
 Chicago: Less activity but firmness was the rule on the Chicago board of trade to-day. and on any further de- clines we think wheat and corn will both do to buy for much higher prices
