NEW YORK LIBERAL DEMOCRATa.
The democrats of New York who do
not propose to be turned over to Dave
Hill and Wall street will hold con-
vention In New York city on the 18th
of this month to protest against the
action of the late democratic state
convention that instructed its dele
gates to vote as a unit for the nomi-
nation of Judge Parker. What fur
Their action, besides protesting" they
intend to take, the papers do not
state. They must all recognize the
fact that the Wall street forces will
control the convention at St. Louis.
What will they do after that conven-
ton? Will they support the ticket?
Many of them broke away from the
regular democratic party more than a
year ago and ran separate ticket
The platform they adopted was such
pure populism and so we'll written that
both of the populist committees adopt
ed it as their address to voters with
out a dissenting voice when they met
in st. Louis last February. These Glib
eral democrats of New York advo-
cate precisely the same principles that
the populists everywhere advocate
Why not come to Springfield instead
of going to st. Louis? There they
will meet men who are in full accord
with them.
In the list of names signed to the
call for protesting convention in
New York we recognize several who
have long been on the subscription
list of The Independent. The COM
mon people of New York are ripe for
revolt against both old parties The
only way to make that revolt success
full is to join with party believing in
exactly the same doctrines that al
ready has a membership in every state
and territory in the Union.
"a late press dispatch announces
that this meeting is to be postponed
until June 20, in order to have Mr..
Bryan presently

that the trend of the supreme court of
the United States would be followed by
state and lower courts. The supreme
court Of Colorado has put the desti-
MES, the property and the lives of the
people of that state in the hands of
one man, who can order them shot
down at any time at his own motion
and there ia no recourse.
Briefly stated, the majority of the
court holds as follows: d ~ F9
That the governor is vested with
unqualified discretion to declare that
any district of the state is in state
OF instruction. 1t makes no differ
ence as fact whether an instruction
exists or not, or whether there is any
disturbance or not; it is enough that
the governor announces that there is
an instruction, and that announce
ment, so far as courts are concerned,
makes it a fixed, Interchangeable fact
that cannot be disputed.
Having concluded that a section is
in instruction, then the governor may
order out the militia to suppress it,
There need be no armed men in the
field; every inhabitant of the pre-
scribed section may be as loyal to the
state and its institutions as the gov
ernor imagines himself to be. Yet
the militia. in it's efforts to suppress
the imaginary instruction, may take
life, arrest the inhabitants at will and
retain them in prison just SO long as
the governor sees fit to consider the
section in insurrection-it may be for
day, month, or q year, or two
years, If the term of the governor
would last so long.
The court says this construction of
the law and arrest of citizens, and
their unlimited Imprisonment under
1t, violates none OF the constitutional
rights of the citizen. "He Is not"
the court says, tried by any military
court or denied the right of trial by
jury: neither is he punished for viola
ton of tho law nor held without due
process OF law" Think OF that A
citizen arrested by the military, In
a peaceful and loyal state. east Into a
prison. detained there for months or
maybe for years. denied every oppor-
tunlty for trial. though he may be as
innocent OF violence as child UNI
born. or Of evil thought. or Of unlaw-
ful deed, and yet because a governor
concluded TO declare the portion OF
the state In which he was 10 be In iu-
aurrcction. that citizen II deprived OF

court says, in support of this most ex-
traordinary conclusion, that q citizen
thus conditions lis not tried by any
military court" True, but wouldn't it
be blessing to be tried by military
court rather than be detained in prison
deprived of a. trial by any court? It
says he is not denied the right OF
trial by jury" Isn't he! The impr;s-
oned man has prayed for, a charge to
be preferred against him and that he
be tried by jury. Yet his jailers hold
him without charge and declare he is
not entitled to trial by jury, and SO
does the supreme court-that is. until
the governor, in his mercy and wis
dom, may see fit to order that the pro-
scribed district is no longer in state
OF instruction.

The contract made with the corpora

OF per cent on the gross income. The
republicans of Ohio downed Tom
Johnson when he undertook to get
similar benefits for the people Of
Cleveland. In the eyes of the repub-
lican leaders there is no need of maxi
ing any concession to the people. The
bosses rank them all as mullet heads

whole table and brought the conversation to
