LOVERS vows IN COURT.
Sweet Exuberance of Tender Passion
Not Binding Declarations.
O. Ilnrna

st. Louis hepuDnc.
Pledges of INSTRUMENTATION and spoken
have netted more public entertainment,
though perhaps less pecuniary penalties
lately. than promissory notes-those dan
gerous human documents. Suits to recover
for breach Of promise and TO punish abuse
Of love have been frequent in the chronic
les of the year.
Pittsburg furnished the most sensational
case OF the kind, principally because OF
the fervency which characterized the un-
FULFILLED promises Of undying affection.
The public is familiar enough with the
courtship that ends in court for both living
lovers. but the instance OF the Philadelphia
woman who sought to make a tender pas
sage in a love note the basis of claim
against her dead IDOLS estate is unique
even in this day OF surprises.
81 am yours to do with as you like All
that I have Is yours TO do with as you
like" wrote the wooer in burst OF
amativeness Those little sentences came
I'm handy for the bereaved Juliet-who, per-
hans. saw a chance TO get a substantial
remembrance OF the departed Romeo. The
letter containing the generous declaration
was filed as a will with the register in
Philadelphia.
Fortuna tely for other heirs, and unfortu-
nately for the young woman and the pub
lie who would have been glad to see the
romance completed, the register Of Wills
In a scholarly opinion, decided against
Juliet. He held that Ordinary poetic or
romantic license is considered an essential
privilege OF lovers imprisoned rhe
toric," and had no doubt that the deceased
Romeo INTENDED TO retain some remnant
OF supervision over the actual disposition
OF himself and his possessions"
That decision seems to have been written
while a vivid remembrance of similar
wholesale philanthropy In his young days
glowed I'm the magisterial mind. In any
event, II Is a safeguard thrown round the
fee OF a vast deal Of wealth, which ardent
SWANS are now giving and will continue
to give-in letters-to their charmers. Had
the principle for which the pretty youns
litigant strove been recognized, hardly any
mans substance would be safe after his
death from the claims Of the dozens OF
young women 10 whom in his lifetime
he had made assignments OF body, sou

HOURS OF LABOR.
Legal Restrictions GO he Submitted 60
Judicial Test

tInuauelpnld ItuHeT
During the last session OF congress. when
Mr. Gompers and other labor leaders made
their demands for the passage Of the law
against injunctions and OF an act extending
the scope Of the present elght-hour law,
Speaker Cannon and the president spoke
rather sharply to the labor leaders Of the
unreasonableness Of many Of their de-
mands. The labor leaders then announced
that they would embark upon the stormy
sea OF politics on their own account.
Congress is now adjourned and there is
no hope for the present OF passing the
eight-hour law, but the congressional cleo
lions are approaching. and the president
Issues an order for the enforcement Of the
limited eight-hour law Of 1892 In the Army,
Navy and other departments There is
thus happily, provision for the spell
binders in the fall; but shipbuilders need
not fear that their contract work, taken
at bids based on nine hours. Is in jeopardy,
nor need labor leaders delude themselves
with the notion that the eight-hour law
which congress refused to consider is to
be established by executive order"
The eight-hour law which failed Of pas
sage at the last session was a broad bill
which provided that eight hours should be
the limit of labor on work done for the
government. Under the terms of the bill,
shipbullders and manufacturers of all sorts
Of articles and contractors and subcon-
tractors employed on government work or
contract, whether or not they happened to
be performing the labor or service within
the limits Of government property, would
have been limited TO eight hours. 1t was
a drastic bill.
The act of 1892, now in force. provides
that iaborers and mechanics er,onloved nv
tho United States or by contractors or sub
contractors upon any OF the public works
Of the United States" are limited to a day
Of eight hours. The president proposes to
enforce this law. It is a dificult matter.
The wisest lawyers do not know how to
interpret the law. The attorney general OF
the United States long ago decided that
the eight-hour law under this act could not
be enforced In contract work for the gov
eminent.
1t is certain that men employed in the
navy yards and on dry docks and the like
men working on government property for
the United States-have the benefit OF the
law. But the law is a puzzle. The men
laying the stone on a breakwater are eight
hour men, but the men employed by the
same contractor half a mile away unload
Ing stone to deliver to the stonemasons,
where do they stand? 1t appears that one
and the same contractor may employ nine
hour or ten-hour men on practically the
same Job with his men who enjoy the eight
hour term
The presidents Intervention at the pres
ent time may result in an Ineligible in
| depreciation by the courts of the existing
| elght-hour law, and naturally It may soften
the asperity Of impatient laborites.

A far more stringent money market
than exists at present might naturally
have been expected from the reports
Of the national banks, which are really
the reserve banks of the country. The
proportion Of cash reserves TO deposit
liabilities is far below the record for
series Of years at the beginning Of
the crop movement, while the crop TO
be handled the next few months is
enormous. Yet there is comparative
ease in the money market and no APP
prehension of serious failure Of emer-
gency funds.
The explanation chiefly emphasized
in financial quarters is the availability
of the gold stores Of Europe for i'm
portation, coincident with the favora-
BILE balance Of international trade,
which the treasury abstract recently
published shows amounted for the
twelve months preceding July to over
a half billion dollars. Not only will
the $7O,OOO,OOO imported after the
San Francisco disaster not have TO be
returned now, or soon, but the situa-
ton is such that further drafts can be
made almost indefinitely as needed.
Engagements for new gold are re-
ported in the ordinary course Of bust
ness, and the secretary of the treasury
is known to stand ready. If 1t should
be necessary, to extend the import &C
commodations which we're so effective
in the San Francisco emergency.
Besides, the treasury is in better
position even than 1t was at the corre-
spending season the last three years,
the surplus being large and a consid-
cradle part of the proceeds of the $780,
/ 900, 900 Panama canal bonds being
available for deposit with the banks
/ for a time. The result. too. of the
! liquidating process in the stock mar
| ket during several months has been
to reduce immensely the speculative
use of money.
These important conditions, in con-
nection with the further fact that the
western banks themselves are in
stronger position than ever, fully
countervail the apparent inadequacy
of the bank reserves in the great east
ern centers and lack of preparation tC
meet the demand at this period of the
| year.

4 DEPRESSING FINANCIAL FACTOR
The most serious factor which the
financial world has now to take into
account is the possibility of a breakup
in Russia. Some small fraction of it's
seriousness is shown by the nervous
ness manifested in European financial
centers, in spite Of protestations that
the crisis precipitated by dissolution of
the Duma will pass away and the ex-
traordinary means resorted to to main
tain Russian government securities in
the chief markets.
All this, although it may seem very
remote, affects the status of values in
our own stock markets almost as di-
rectly as those of Europe. A revolu-
ton paralyzing industry and regular
government in the cars domain
would instantly start panic in Berlin
and Paris, for unnumbered hundreds
of millions of Russian securities, ma
tional and industrial, are in the hands
of the French and the Germans. who
under such conditions would begin to
throw them on the market. The
emergency, in short, would instantly
cause a call for accommodation on
London and New York, although the
holdings of Russian securities is small
here and in Great Britain, in the form
of sales of all kinds of American stocks
and bonds. 1t would be precisely the
same process that followed the insolv-
ency of Barring Bros. in 1889 from
the memorable collapse of South
American securities, when overloaded
European holders we're forced hur.
riedly to raise cash by selling the bet
ter stocks and bonds representing the
public and private credit of the United
States. And we have just seen SINH
lar transactions, although on an In
comparably smaller scale, as a conse

PROSPERITY AND POLITICS.
Why II is Reasonable to Expect More
Republican MaJoritiea.

st. Louis Globe democrat.
familiar sign of republican prosperity
Is seen in New England at this moment
Advances Of wages are being made in cot
ton, wooden and worsted mills in that To-
cality. Thus far $4,000 textile operatives
have been affected by the advance, two
thirds of whom are cotton workers. In
some Of the iron mills, too. a higher sched-
ule is going into operation. The advances
range from to Is per cent.
The country looks for things of this sort
at frequent intervals when the republican
party is at the front. In such times pros
perity Is generally the order of the day
All the panics have come in democratic
times or from democratic causes. The
democratic party was in power at the
panics of 1917, 1887. 1867 and 1893 Every
panic which the country has had came dur
ing days of democratic sway, except that
Of 1873, and that one was a result of demo-
cratic folly, The democratic rebellion of
1S6i-65 created the conditions that finally
resulted in the cataclysm which came in
Grants second term, and the republican
party at that time checked the disaster by
passing the specie resumption act OF 1876,
which went into operation at the beginning
OF 1879. Long before 1879 came the effects
of that piece of legislation had a bracing
effect on the country's finances and re-
stored prosperity.
These advances OF wages now under way
will be a good thing for the republican
spellbinders to mention in the congressional
canvass. They will help to roll up a ma
jority for the republican party in Novem-
Der. The republican campaign orators will
have an embarrassment of riches in the
way Of concrete arguments for the renewal
Of the popular mandate for the party to
keep on running things, but they should
contrive TO utilize most Of them. Repub-
lican sway has been grand thing for the
country, and the continuance OF this sway
for decade or two longer will give the
American people a new cause for pride In
their land.

turned inside out to the uttermost de-
tail for the inspection of the courts or
other competent public authority en-

Such witnesses, therefore, stand be-
tween the penalties for perjury on the

on the other hand the arbitrary penal

is proving one of the most formidable
weapons in the hands of earnest au-

publicity and of bringing offending
corporations to book.
