and the Judge rendered his decision' to
the effect that the statute ahd the ordi

Trying to Enjoin Voters.
Lincoln, Neb., Oct. 30. E. C.
Tho in as, of Omaha, applied to the Su
preme court for an injunction restrain
ing some 600 recently naturalized citi
zens of Omaha from attempting to cast
their votes at the next election and the
several judges of election of that city
from receiving such votes if offered.
The claim made by the relator was that
the Personal Rights League, an anti
prohibition organization, had paid the
fees requisite for the naturalization of
these parties and that therefore this
action amounted to bribery. The Court
refused to take jurisdiction on the case
and the papers were allowed to be
withdrawn without filing. It is under
stood they will present the question to
the Court again butin another form.
An Important Decision.
Des Moines, Iowa, OcU 30. The
Supreme Court has affirmed the deci
sion of the Jasper district court, giving
Cooke and Wheeler. Btnrlr dpalara of
hNew ton, judgment against the Chicago,
iwcKsuma ana faclfac railroad for
2,700. The case ia important to stock
dealers generally. The railroad was in
the habit of giving, certain favored
shippers secret rebate on freight paid
on each car. Cooke and Wheeler
prored the existence of this rebate
system and the court held that it was
unjust dlscriminatidh and that plaintiffs
had been overcharged An amount on
each car they"shipped equal to tho re
bate given other parties. .

Washington, Oct. 30. The Presi
dent has remitted the $100 fine imocsed
in the case of Josie Tallery . convicted
in South Carolina of retailing liquor
witnout licence.
Mr. Houghwort Howe, of the State
Department, was married yesterday to
Miss Mary Butterworth, daughter of
Representative Butterworth, of Ohio,
and died to day of pneumonia.
The Department of State is without
information respecting the alleged im
position by Mexico of the discrimina
ting aeea oi sow per car load or Amer
ican cattle, which is reported from the
West. Acting Secretary Adee says
that when the Mexican Government,by
a decree issued a year ago, increased
the duties on imported cattle and
swine. The Department of State was
informed of the action within twenty
four hours, and while he cannot deny
the last reported action, he is compelled
to doubt it.
The Navy department ismoving with
great circumspection in the matter of
adopting, nickel-steel armor for its ves
sel. The Annapolis .tests appeared to
bo conclusive as to the merits of the
particular nickel-steel plate by com
parison with all steel and compound
plates. But the ordnance bureau has
not yet been entirely convinced that it
should proceed at once to adopt the
alleged plates as a standard. The
plate which was tested was of foreign
manufacture, and it may be that, even
if an adequate supply of nickel is ob
tained, the domestic manufacturers
cannot succeed in making the alleged
plate that will equal in resisting power
the plate tried at Annapolis. It may
be that if a successful process be dis
covered, the manufacture will be inor
dinately expensive. These matters must
be determined by experiment, and
Commodore Folger, chief of ordnance
bureau, says that it will require seve
ral months time to ascertain the re
sult. Incidentally, the experiment
which the bureau will undertake will
be directed to an ascertainment of the
value of nickel-steel alloy of strength
ening purposes. European natives
have fdr some time contemplated a
test of the new alloy in this capacity.
Its advocates assert that it will prove
far stronger and tougher than steel for
this purpose. If this should prove to

Washington, OcU , 30. A well
known Republican leader,Vnot now in
office, but prominently connected with
with the Congressional campaign com
mittee, ba3 received from Theodore
Koosvelt, civil service commissioner, a
contribution of $50 to be used for legi
timate campaign expenses in any Con
gressional district where it is needed.
Ex-Governor Thompson, also a member
of the commission ha3 sent in his con
tribution in aid of the Democratic
cause. In conversation to-day Mr.
Roosvelt saidi There is no reason why
under Republican adminlstaation, all
contributions should bo made to the
Republican campaign fund, and under
Democratic administration they should
all be to the Democratic fund. Clerks
are as much at liberty to contribute to
oce party as to another and they are
perfectly safe and free to make no con
tribution if they so prefer. Within the
classified eertice employes are under
obligation to no party. Governor
Thompson is a Democrat, serving under
this administration; he makes contri
butions to aid hisparty. I am a Re
publican, and I aid mine. If we did
not want to contribute wo would not.
No one can force a government em
ploye to contribute, nor if he desire
to contribute, compel him to contrib
ute to this party rather ,than that.
That is all there is in the-question, ex
cept that no employe sball solicit di
rectly or indirectly from any
other employe and none shall
elve to or take from another
employe. If tnere are political
clubs of which Government employes
are members, there is no reason why
they should not be Democratic as well
as Republican. But any of them will
be prosecuted if we have evidence of
their trying to force contributions by
intimidation.

Evil Effects of too Tariff.
MaNKATO, 'Minn., OcU - SO. The
Mankato flour mills have been inform

that, owing to the McKlnlev law, the
flour merchants of Holland say that
they will not buy any more second
grade bakers1 flour made in this coun
try. This shuts out a market which has
annually taken over 12,000 barrels cf
this grade of flour from the Mankato
mills alone. The result will be the dis
charge of a large number of men.
