POLITICS AND GOSSIP
HEARD AT THE CAPITOL
BY HERVEY w. LAIRD.

Montgomery, October 20.-(SpeciaD. A
great deal of interest centers around the
proposition of the democratic platform
TO increase the salaries of the judges OF
tie supreme court aad it is believed
that it will be a very popular PROPOSE
ton. and one that will be carried be-
fore the legislature While the PROPOSE
tion is not included in the regular plat
form of the party, 1t was unanimously
adopted as a favorable report by the
committee on resolutions.
1t is argued by those who favor the
higher run of salaries by the members
of the supreme court bench that the
present schedule was paid more than
twenty years ago, and at a time when
living was not probably half so ex-
pensive as it is now. A. The same time
the judges had not nearly SO much work
to do, and were not forced into many
expensive situations as they are now.
The argument Is that ii tee present sal
aries were adequate twenty years ago
they are probably not more than half so
now, being $4,000 a year.
1t is also expected that the next legis-
1ature will largely increase the clerk hire
for the supreme court, which is now
smaller than that of most any other
state For the whole seven men there is
only one secretary, and he is expected
to copy all of the opinions, keep up with
II e correspondence and look ous for the
general clerical details OF lie bench.
Some states provide a secfeta"v for each
Judge. This makes it possible for liza
t. dictate his opinions an greatly ex-
pedfte the handling CT cases.

Mr.. H. L. Emory, Vice Chancellor
and Master of Arms, X. P.s, of
Omaha, Neb., writes from 205 North
Sixteenth street, the following
words of praise for Peruna as a
tonic. He says:
TT is with pleasure 1 recommend
Peruna as n tonic of unusual merit.
A large number of prominent mem
bers of the different orders with
which l have been connected have
been cured by the use of Peruna in
cases of catarrh of the stomach and
head; also in kidney complaints and
weakness of the pelvic organs.
"Peruna tones up the system, aids
digestion, induces sleep, and is we'll
worthy the confidence of sufferers
of the above complaints.

So Writes Mr.. Neohof, of Alban
Pelvic Diseases in Men.

Many an invalid is dragging out miserable exis-
tenee with catarrh of the kidneys, catarrh of the
bladder, or both.
There is no disease equal to catarrh of the bladder
in producing complete wretchedness, absolute
despair, haggard misery and stubborn weakness.
An army of this sort of victims have one by one
discovered that Peruna could be relied upon to re-
lieve such cases.
One man tells another man, and in this way the
news spreads until in all parts of the country are
to be found men who have been permanently liber-
aed from the thradom of catarrh of the bladder by
a course of Peruna.
Many cases of catarrh of the stomach, kidneys and
other abdominal organs have reported themselves
as cured.
We give below two prominent testimonials which
illustrate the benefit of Peruna in these cases.

OBJECTIONS OF THE DEFENSE
Why 1t Opposes the Introduction OF
the Ancient History"

The objection Of the defense to the
character of evidence brought forward
was mainly on the ground that the
prosecution was going entirely outside
of the case as set forth in the informs-
ton filed by County Prosecutor David.
BESIDES this the authenticity of the evil
dence in all cases was questioned. The
general answer to these objections was
made by Attorney General Ellis, who
made his first appearance as an active
participant in the prosecution, and by
Attorney Phelps. The defense was
taken care Of by Attorneys Elliott,
Kline, Troup and Tolles, Kline and
Troup doing the greater part of the
talking.
Answering the objection Of Kline
that the prosecution was going outside
the pleadings on the case Phelps said
the Valentine law, under which the
suit was brought. was as broad as the
world and as strong as Sampson; that
under it there wasnoneceSsity of prov
ing any trust agreements or naming
the parties in any trade conspiracy. 1t
was enough to show the result of that
conspiracy. However. It was the in
tention Of the prosecution to show that
the nine men who formed originally
the Standard Oil trust of 1873 have
ever since-at least all or them who
are living-continued to dominate the
oil industry of the state; that they
abandoned the trust agreement when
compelled to do so by the state only
to enter another form in New Jersey,
which now continues.
Kline opposed this with the asser-
ton that there was no law prohibit
ing stockholders Of the Standard Oil
Company Of Ohio from selling their
stock TO a New Jersey corporation. He
further pointed out that the subsidiary
companies named in the complaint
We're all declared by the prosecution
to be under the same ownership; hence
how could there be a conspiracy such
as is condemned by the Valentine anti
trust law. The right Of the New Jer
sey company to own the stock OF any
other company, he said. could not be
questioned in an Ohio court, and be
asserted that the only evidence which
was competent for the prosecution tt
bring forward was evidence showing
a conspiracy against trade by these de

Discusses the Race Question in a
Speech to Home Corners.
La Grange. Ca, Get. 11.-At the
Georgia Homecoming exercises here
Governor Elect Hoke Smith delivered
an address on the race question in the
south in which he said that the four
teenth amendment to the constitution
hinders the most intelligent mode of
handling the subject. "Our national
government" Governor Elect Smith
said has always legislated for the
Indians, placing around them reStric-
tions entirely different from those ap-
piled to white men. But for the four
teenth amendment to the constitution
we should follow the same plan in
Georgia with reference to the negroes.
The white man must accept full
responsibility and control of the situa-
ton This is the white mans country.
and it is the white mans burden. The
negro should be encouraged TO help.
Kindly but firmly the large majority OF
negroes must be supervised and direct
ed by the white man. The fact should
be kept in mind that a very large num-
Der Of negroes are irresponsible. and
when left in idlenesS are prone to
crime We must exhaust all legal
means to save the negroes from idle
ness" Governor Smith advised strict
er vagrancy laws and arrest of loafing
wandering negroes as probable crimi
nails He also said the system Of negro
education should be changed.
