CURRENT TOPICS.
Free Speech.


The cautious and ultra-conservativ
Richmond Times. one Of the best and
most thoroughly reliable newspapers in
the Union, has seen its way clear to
condemn the action Of Judge Campbell,
of Amherst county, in the contempt pro-
ceedings of which the Advertiser has had
somewhat to say. And in order to show
the precise nature Of the case 1t is proper
to publish the ground of the Judges &C
ton It is found in the following publ
cation made by Rev. C. II. Crawford, in
his newspaper, the Christian Federation:
'.At Amherst recently a whiskey-sellfng
druggist was presented to the grand
jury. It was proved that he had sold
about twenty-five barrels Of intoxicants
during the past year, and a number OF
witnesses testified that they had bought
1t from him, but the jury was instructed
by the Judge that the druggist had q
right to sell 'medicated whiskey.' So
they brought in verdict no Indictment
Such rulings set people to wondering
which has been doctored most the whls-
key, or the judge"
This was harsh criticism, Of course, but
nothing worse than can be found in the
newspapers all over the country. 1t was
a suggestion that the judge had been
tempered with, and that his judicial act
was the result of such tampering- The
Judge construed it into contempt of court
and proceeded accordingly. The Times
discusses the matters in detail and winds
up with this languages:
'.In the case cited from Amherst, Editor
Crawford passed a very harsh and severe
criticism upon Judge Campbell and i'm
peached his motives as a just and honest
judge By that act Editor Crawford
rendered himself liable to be indicted
and sued for libel. But it cannot be said
that his criticism, which did not appear
until after this case had been declueu,
in any way interfered with the machin-
cry of the court. therefore. we cannot
agree that the editor was guilty Of con-
tempt and we cannot agree that the
court has the right to yank him up and
punish him summarily without the ben
eft of jury for his criticism"
That covers the case, we apprehend
The judge had his remedy before the
courts, and had no right to punish the
alleged offense in his own court.-Mont-
gomery Advertiser.

Mr.. BRYaN,S AIM IN LIFE.

Mr. William J. Bryan has recently mace
public a letter written to Senator; Allen.
the Populist leader, reiterating his firm
determination not to accept the nomina-
tion for Governor in Nebraska. He de-
clares that he has no personal ambition
to serve and that there is no Office to
which he aspires. He is content to do
the work which he is now doing and be-
lieves that i'll this way he ca1 accom-
plish moro FOR his State and for the
limited States "While expect to do all
that is within my power" he adds, Ito
aid those who are determined to prevent
the Clevelandzing Of the Democratic
party, vet the success Of that effect does
not depend upon me nor upon any in
nuenco that may be able to exert, but
upon a. multitude of earnest, honest, and
loval Democrats who will spare no pains
to protect the party from another such
humiliation and disgrace"
BY this Mr. Bryan means to say that
he will do everything possible to pre-
vent the party from taking one step back
ward from the platform Of 1886. The party
is not going to get out of Mr.. Bryan S
clutches, if he can prevent 1t.

OUR SHIP BUILDING
For the Year. Ending June 30, Lne
 Gross Tonnage Was 473,9S1.


 New York, July 29.-A publication just issued gives the number of vessels built in United States ports during the year ended June 30 as 1,657, of 415,9Sl gross tonnage.
 In the year preceding there were built 1, ,709 vessels of 4S9, ,616 tons gross. This year the sail tonnage aggregated 101, ,072 tons last year l2S, S,099 tons. A substantial increase is noted in steel steamers, which aggregate 21o,4i9 tons, as against 235, ,265 tons for last year. Canal boats and bargeS declined from S8,331 to 57,502 tons.
 No new orders of importance are noted on the seaboard and in this re spect the outlook is not as favorable as it was a year ago.
 In the great lakes district there IS every indication of volumne of ship building in 1903 fully equal to the record of year now closing. The lake shipbuilders close their year about midsummer. as their most active per- iod is the fall and winter and the year now closing they have built forty three vessels costing about $10,250, 900. They already have for the coming year or ders for 2S vessels that are to cost about $7,25O,OOO. This summary does not of course, take into account any of the small vessels. It refers only to large steel ships. In this list of new lake vessels, for the year closing as we'll as the year to come, only two are tow barges. The lone steamer is SUD- planting the steamer and it's consort.

Officer Mclean Lassoed Him and
 Then Put Bullet in His Head. Officer Joseph Mclean is good shot. If he hadn't good aim with the revolver he might now be nursing very sore wound caused by being bitten by dog. The officer was standing near Jacobs pawn shopN on East Main street this morning about ll:l5 when he saw a brindle bulldog rushing wildly along the sidewalk. snapping and snarling at everybody and everything in sight. The officer gave chase to the dog which ran along East Main street and into the storS of the Guarantee Credit Clothing Go barking and yelping. Foam was is. suing from the animals mouth. The clerks in the store were terrified and sought places of safety. The dog gained entrance to an ante-room and there remained for some time. every body being afraid to go near him. Of flcer Mclean wanted to shoot him there, but the proprietor of the place refused to permit him. The dog was barking and acting wildly and conse- quently everybody kept at a distance. About half an hour later he became quieter and Officer Mclean got rope, put it around the dogs neck and dragged him into the driveway at the rear of the store. As the officer was about to shoot the dog it made spring for him, but the officer was too quick and his aim was too deadly, and the dog fell dead With a bullet in it's head.
