Wo are on the cvo of on of the most Im portant presidential contests tills na tion has over known und wo nro told by the Democratic party that there are' no national Issues Involved. They Ignore the radical differences nnd tho principles of the two parties nnd try to confine their campaign to state is sues alone, but they format that their own ofllclal deductions contradict their position. If you road tha Democratic state platform you will see that It has endorsed William J. Bryan nnd tho utterances of the Chli-as,') platform. There Is no escape for It, they ure pin ned to it. They are committed to avcry one of tho popultitle doctrines ndvotut ed by Brlyan nnu what does Bryan s-ay. Ho has been going over the country preaching free silver heresy nnd the 1G to 1 fnllacy, denouncing the adminis tration of the Republican paity nnd ho has condemned William McKInlcy for extending the benefits of civiliza tion and humanity to oppressed and starving people, thus by that platform they have brought before tho people the very Issues which must be fought out In the next presidential campaign and It Is upon these Issues alone that tho present campaign must be waged."

In the Im portant damage case of Eugene F. Hartland against the Oliver Powder company for $10,000 damages for In juries and burns received In an explo sion at the powder mills five years ago. Judge Halsey yesterday morning granted a non-suit. He said: "We find that the rules of law gov erning risks assumed by employes to be that by contracting for the per formance of duties employes assume such risks as are Incidental to their discharge. Employes are bound to take notice of the ordinary operatl m of natural laws, and to govern them selves accordingly. If they fall to do so the risk Is their own. They are bound to use their eyes, and if they fail to do so they cannot charge tho consequences upon tho master. Where the danger Is open and ob vious nnd within the knowledge of the employe at the time of the em ployment, he cannot complain if sub sequently Injured by exposing himself to such danger. "The plaintiff here was sweeping the powder from the walk between the mixer and distributing shed at the time of the accident. He testifies that he was doing this for the purpose of preventing it from taking fire. This was the green powder from tho mixpr that had fallen from the boxes. He n!so testifies, upon cross-examination, that ho knew tho nowder In the dis tributing shed was dangerous nnd lia ble to burn. It seems, therefore, to us, that tho danger nnd risk of the plaintiff's employment was open and obvious to him and within his knowl edge before the accident." ELOPERS BROUGHT BACK.
