ed with hostility on piece of board
that bore Il Canadian mark" At this
the audience laughed, knowing that
leren Fletcher had always favored Il
tariff of 81 per thousln.. feet on lum-
Der to shut out all competition and
help to make millionaires Of local lum-
bermen at the expense of his constit-
uents. Though Tom Shevlin said dur
ing the primary election that he did
not want tariff on lumber any longer,
Loren Fletcher has kept as dumb as
an oyster on the subject. According
to the Blue Book, Mr.. Il etcher him
self is engaged in the lumber business,
and when The has a good thing from
the tariff he wants to hang on to it
with catlike teIacity.
The Republican organs hardly know
what to say of John Lind's speech.
They have been unable to find any
flaws in it. They say that Eugene g..
Hay said the same identical things III
his contest against Fletcher, but he
was defeated for the nomination just
tn" same. The corporate interests de-
manded Fletcher and they have got
things in his speeches against Fletch-
er, but the corporation organs boycott
ted him and would not print a word
of his against Fletcher. He was
obliged to print his speech in PAM
phlet form under the title of "Ten
Years in Congress, and toward the
close Of the primary campaign it was
published at so much Il line by the
Journal
In our opinion, the speech of john
Lind Will insure Ibis election as men,
Der of Congress from this district. He
has cut the ground from under the
feet of Loren Fletcher who appears OH
no platform of principles. The questi IL
is, Has he any? If he has, why doesn't
he enunciate them, and tell what he
will do il he is reelected for sixth
term? He did not stand by the presi-
dent on trusts and reciprocity. Will
he stand by him now?
We have no desire to speak dispar-
agingly of Loren Fletcher, but did he
not show his incapacity as legislator
OF ten years experience when he ham
died the London Dock Bill in the alb
sence Of James A. Tlwney? Would
John Lind have failed to secure the
passage Of that important bill? Mr..
Fletcher himself was pers onally inter-
ested in it's passage, for he is engaged
in the flour business, but lpe was to-
tally incompetent to attend 10 it. And
yet his eulogists in the primary cam
M!ign shouted from the platform that
the people wanted man of expert

experience and ability in John Lind,
and they will consult their own inter-
ests by electing him ON the 4th of No
vember. And they are gong to do it,

said: '.It is all very well to shout

China. The millionaires rule this

tn pastors are all right, but there are
IL few who are in the habit of showing
too much attention to the offspring of
wealthy parisllioners. We have known
instances where the daughters of rich
parents became insufferably offensive
and snobbish to girls in lower sta
tons; and we repeat that the "obse-
quious pastors" generally the sons Of
poor parents, were largely responsible
for it. OF course, we cannot particu-
larize without iulcurr:ng their dis

BLACKLIST LAW 0 K
The Act Prohibiting Listing Held to
Be Constitutional.
THE KELLY WILL CASE DECIDED
The Supreme Court Decides That the
VIII Is Legal-Other
Decisions.

Sixteen decisions were handed down by
the supreme court this morning.
The validity of the i-blacklisting law,
OF 1895 is upheld in decision filed in a
habeas corpus proceeding Alfred Schaf-
fer of the firm of Scheffer & Rossum, St.
Paul, was charged by William Harvey
with attempting to prevent his employ
ment with another firm. He was con-
Vlcted and fined in municipal court, and
sued out writ Of habeas corpus against
Sheriff Justus. The writ Is quashed and
Schiller must pay his fine or go to Jail.
Justice Lewis, who writes the opinion,
holds that an employer does not have the
right to prejudice the chances OF a for
mer employe, who has left voluntarily to
secure employment elsewhere. He says:
The act does not attempt to interfere with
the right Of an employer to discharge an en-
ploye for cause or without cause. 1t does not
seek to prohibit an employer for communicat-
ing to other employers the nature and char
acter of his employees. when the facts would
be for their interest. While such interference
by an employer is not expressly charact eriZed
as malicious, that intent is necessarily i'm
piled. 1t is the purpose of this law to pro-
raj rights and privileges guaranteed them by
the constitution, viz, the right to sell their
bury and others as sureties.

Sureties Are Released.

Frederick C. Johnson and the late John
S. Pillsbury are released from an indem-
nifty bond given by John C. johnson in
1892. The latter at that time dissolved
partnership with John Durham and took
entire charge Of their wholesale grocery
business. He assumed all the liabilities
of the firm, and gave an indemnity bond,
signed by himself and Frederick c. John
son as principals and by John S. Pills
bury, other as sureties. .--s
The firm unfortunately owned fifty
shares Of the stock Of the Minneapolis
Industrial exposition, then insolvent. An
action was broughtto enforce the liabil-
ity of the stockholders, and judgment was
later secured against Durham & John
son for $3.50. After entry of this judg-
ment, John c. Johnson died. John Dun
ham paid it, but sued the sureties for the
amount. The court holds that the stock
was not liability within the meaning of
the bond, saying in the syllabus:
John Durham appellant, vs. Frederick c..
Johnson and John S. Pillsbury, respondents.
First-1n an action against the sureties on
bond given to a retiring partner indemnify
ing him against liability on account of the
debts of the partnership, held, that the con-

conditions of the bond.
