JOSEPH w. FOLKS POSITION.

Hon. Joseph w. Folk was asked concerning his
position with respect TO the minor candidates on the
State ticket, and gave out the following statement on
Thursday, May 10Th:
I've have been fighting the machine. BY this
term it is not meant the party organization, but the
men who try 70 use the party organization for selfish
purposes and not for party or public good. Party
committees that forget they are the servants OF the
party and assume to be masters Of the party should
not be tolerated. In order to carry out the Will ot
Of the people, party committees and party organiza-
ton are essential, but their purpose is to execute the
will of the people and not to thwart it.
This fight has been made for a principle, not for a
man. While we can afford to be generous TO our
late opponents and overlook the urkind things they
have said, we cannot hrnorably give up any principles
for which We have been contcnding.
"Ilrrc has been and there will be no compromise Of
this idea. There Is no slate, and none viii be made
except by the representatives Of the party in con"en-
ton assembled I have been fighting for The right Of
The people to rule. THAT is true Democracy. | want
the people u select the men they desire Tor other
places on the Democratic ticket. do not propose to
dictate whom they shall select, bit it is not improper
10 urge the Importance rf choosing men who are not

in carrying ONT The work the people wish done.

The opposition gang organs that were lauding Mr..
Folk to the skies some time ago, are now playing the
part of debiitant donkeys by coupling the next
Governor with every phase OF partisan debauchery
possible in a campaign. But Mr.. Folk is making no
mistakes, and the Democrats Of the state will select
the candidates for other Offices on the state ticket, and
Joseph w. Folk with the balance Of them will be
elected. Mud SINGERS will not be in it, either.

"THE RoYCRoFT IDEALS
An Entertaining Talk by Ebert Hub
bard at the Columbia.

It was not an audience numerically nota-
Bile that assembled In the Columbia Theater
yesterday afternoon to listen to the lecture
on "Roycroft Ideals given by Mr.. Ebert
Hubbard, otherwise known as Fra Elber-
tus." of East Aurora N Y. Nevertheless,
those who were present at the distribution
of oratorical vibrations, Mr.. Hubbard
facetiously terms his lectures. gave enthu-
slastic evidence Of their appreciation. The
particularly bright things in the discourse
were noted by the audience with hearty ap-
plause, and that the gentle flow of the
speakers pleasantly modulated voice was
frequently interrupted by such marks of
approval Is an indication that Mr. Hubbard
said many bright things. If from familiarity
with the "Fras" writings anyone in the
audience expected to be startled by any
extravagant ideas or unconventional utter
ances of the speaker they must have been
disappointed and whatever disappointment
was occasioned, no doubt, was pleasant.
In his lecture on "Roycroft Ideals he
talks in a very entertaining way about the
life Of the community. In speaking Of
East Aurora and giving Its location he re-
marked that one will find that Buffalo lies
half way between East Aurora and Niagara
Falls" He casually observed that writer
on the stan of The Evening Star had re-
ferred to East Aurora as not being place
or locality, but condition of mind.
Mr.. Hubbard is perfectly natural in his
manner and address. His epigrammatic
style and clever wit distinguish him as
strongly as his writings.

DEGREES SET ASIDE.
First Proceedings Before Court Under
Sections lO5 and 10.

Justice Gould, in Equity Court No z, IN
the case of Charles w. Fairfax against the
unknown heirs of James Small and others
the object being to secure the partition by
sale of lots II and Is, in square s2S, has set
aside the decree pro confesso against the
defendants the decree for sale. and the
sale of the lots by the trustee. This action
was taken by the court on motion OF John
Clough. and six other persons, said to reside
near Dundee Scotland. 1t is explained that
this is the first proceeding of its kind under
sections 1O5 and 10 of the code authorizing
a partition suit in the case of unknown
heirs.
The point Of law involved was that the
order of publication as provided by the stat
ute required the defendants to enter their
appearance on the first rule day occur
ring in three months after the first publ
cation which would be in November, where
as a pro confesso was taken at the eXpira-
ton of three months without regard to rule
day and for that reason, 1t was held, the
court was without jurisdiction to proceed in
the matter at the time the decree for sale
was passed. The defendants, through At
torney W. Mosby Williams. were given
leave to file answer. The complainant Is
represented by Attorney c. Albert White.

District of Columbia, each to recover dam
ages in the sum of $50 600. the defendants
named being Joseph Bristow. the fourth
assistant postmaster general; Henry c.
Payne. Postmaster General. and the three
local newspapers.
The basis of the charge for which dam
ages are asked Is an extract from the report
of General Bristow dealing with the award
OF contracts In the division of which Louis
was at the head for ink, ink padA etc. at
alleged excessive price. etc. The defend
ants are charged with having composed.
written and published concerning the plain
tiff the extract of the report referred to
with the intent, 1t is alleged, to injure the
plaintiff in his good name. By reason OF the
committing of the grievances complained of
the plaintiff says he has been brought into
public scandal. ridicule and disgrace.
MIR. Davis Statement.
Attorney Henry e. Davis represents Mr..
Louis In reference to the fling of the
suits. Mr. Davis made the following state
ment.
II anticipate that the defense of privi-
leg6 Will De mace IN the SUITS winch NAVE
brought for Mr.. Louis. but am confident
can meet it successfully. 1t may be that
a report made by one public official to an
other in the due and regular course of offi-
cial duty is privileged, but 1t Is quite
different thing to say that the defense of
privilege will extend to such a publication
rs that which is the occasion OF Mr.. Louis
suits.
1T Will be remembered that Mr.. Bris-
tow's so-called report was not one made
by him in the regular and ordinary dis
charge Of his official duties. but was one
called for by the President under the spur
Of a public clamor about alleged irregulari-
ties and corrupt practices in the postal
service. AS the Presidents memorandum
called for by him with view to guiding
part. and in his memorandum he an
nounced that the documents In the cases
were forwarded to the Post Office Depart
nent for submission to the Congress when
ever 1t might choose to ask for them
All this makes II very doubtful whether
the defense of privilege would attach to
even the report itself submitted to the
President: but, however this may be IL
would seem clear that the defense cannot
attach to tie publication through the press
not of the report itself, but Of an alleged
abstract thereof prepared by Mr.. Bristow
and given by him and the Postmaster Gem
sral TO the world at large, which had no
legal right to the information supposed to
be conveyed and which could at the most
nave only prurient interest in the scan
gals supposed to be involved In the matters
purporting to have been investigated"
