Evening on the Potomac" is the
subject Of sketches by John Ross Key.
made during recent evening trips down
the river. In this group OF rapid
sketches, the artist has attempted to
picture a condition rather than a To-
cality, and for this reason the work
IS not descriptive, or reminiscent Of any
particular spot. 1t IS the condition or
evening. with moonlight on the water,
and small sChOOneTs AT anchor with the
lights placed 10 warn passing craft
and the color of night, that has given
the motif 10 the pictures. IN this class
Of work the temperament of the artist
and his love of the quiet and hush Of
nature is manifested. 10 his illustrative
work, of which ne has done much,
there is evidence Of the weil-trained
draughtsman, and the knowledge of the
limitation OF processes of reproduction.
in these small sketches the artistic ma
ture, the pictorial tendencies, and the
absence OF limiting circumstances, make
these small pictures a pleasure to the
art lover Mr.. and Mrs. Key have left
the city for their summer vacation near

Last evening there came under my

John M J. Dickson, Of Falda, MIMI

And from reports that have gained
currency, his work ii, the bank was.
not in as good shape as it should
have besn, which has given rise to
the theory that he might been on the
track with suicidal intent. Do the
first principles Of manhood demand

 The courts of justice are the buIwark of our liberties and we yield to none in our purpose to maintain their dignity. Our party has given to the bench a long line of distinguished judges, who have added to the respect and conf- deuce in which this department must be jealously maintained, We resent the attempt of the republican party to raise a false issue respecting the judiciary. IL is an unjust reflection upon great body of our citizens to assume that they lack respect for the courts.
 It is the function of the courts to in- terpret the laws which the people ere ate, and it the laws appears to work economic, social and political injustice it is our duty 10 change them. The ouly basis upon which the integrity ci our courts can stand is that of uuswerv- iug justice and protection of life, per son al liberty and property, II judicial processes should be abused we should guard them against abuse.
 Experience has proven the necessity of modification of the present. law relating to injuncCions, and we reiter- ate pledge of our national platforms oI 1896 and 1904 in favor of the measure which passed the United States senate iu 1896, but which a republican con gress has ever since refused to enact, relating to con ,empts in federal courts aud providing for trial by jury in cases O, indirect contempt.
 Questions of judicial practice have arisen especially in connection with industrial disputes.

Nothing In the platform of the two parties has been so much talked about as the so-called injunction blanks. Both committees were equally rottled over the construction of these blanks because of their influence upon the labor vote. A comparison should be interesting, SO here they are, presented together.
 This is the republican plank;
 The republican party will uphold at all times the authority and integrity of of the courts, state and federal, and will ever insist that their powers to on- force their process and to protect life, liberty and property, shall be preserved invIolato. We believe, however, that the rules Of procedure in the federal courts with respect to the issuance of the writ of injunction should be more accurately defined by statute and that no injunction or temporary restraining order should be issued without notice, except where irreparable injury would result from delay, in which case a speedy hearing thereafter should be ,roptsd

Simon returned from Chicago this
morning where he had a conference
with Governor ]. ]. Johnson of Mime
sofa, regarding the latter's visit to
Gary on the occasion of the democratic
convention and barbecue and he an
nounces that the governor will be un-
able to go to Gary or to speak on ac-
count of the. severe cold which has af-
fected his throat. =
1t has been practically assured, how
ever, that Henry Marshall, the candi-
date for governor, will be able to be
present and all of the other speakers
and guests of honor will be present.
Already the great crowds of strangers
are beginning to arrive in Gary and
the clearing of the weather makes the
promoters of the barbecue all the more
confident that the affair will be. the
success that it is hoped it will be.

mittee on arrangements that profess
sional roaster in the person of Robert
Johnson has been hired in Chicago and
that he is an expert in the preparation
OF feasts Of this kind.
He. Will bring with him twenty-five
walters and the committee has already
arranged for the purchase of 5000
loaves Of bread which will be used fol
the purpose of making the sandwiches.
The manner of feeding the multitude
will be to slice off the meat from tbs
carcas and slap it between two piece:

guests.
