Z LONDON, Sept. 25.-A new terror

the average politician who finds the
effort of addressing his constituents q
stiresome performance. Now it is
learned on no less an authority than
that of the medical department of the

they are undisturbed, but are driven

Furthermore, when our, manufacturers are
dependent on raw materials in whole or

of their markets abroad that they secure
their materials on the most favorable
terms.
Our martyred president, William Nc

PEOPLE EARNESTLY
DEMAND REFORM

1t is true that the Republicans, who do
not admit in their platform that the Ding
ley tariff needs the slightest alteration,
are likely to retain majority of the fed
eral senate throughout the next presi-
Dental term, and could, therefore, if they
chose, block every attempt at legislative
rellef. But 1t should be remembered that
the Republican party includes many re-
visionists, and believe it will shrink from
defying the popular will expressed unmis-
takably and premptorily at the ballot box.
Inc people demand reform of existing
conditions. Since the last Democratic
administration the cost of living has
grievously increased. Those having fixed
incomes have suffered keenly; those liv-
ing on wages, if there has been any in
crease, know that such increase has not
Kept pace with the advance in the cost

To alleviate these conditions, in so far

remedy, which in my judgment, can eff
fectually be applied against monepolies,
and the assurance was then given that if
existing laws, including both statute and
common law, proved inadequate, con-
f frary to my fe;xpectations favor such
limitations. as will best promote and

Whether there is any common law
which can be applied and enforced by the
the president, or by candidate for the
presidency.
The determination of this question was
left by the people in framing the consti-
tuition, to the Judiciary and not to the
executive. The supreme court of the
United States has recently considered this
question, and, in the case of the Western
Union Telegraph Co. VS.. The Call Publish
ing Co: to be found in the 1S1st volume of
the United States Supreme Court reports
at: page 80, it decided that common law
principles could be applied by United
commerce, in the absence of United
States statutes specifically covering the
case. Such is the law of the land
