A GREAT SPEECH.
(Continued From Page Two.)
which to try his case, whereas the
oitlzen who sues another citizen of
his own State has no choice but to
sue in the courts of his own State
These re-r-.wals cause greatcomplaint
and dissatisfaction, especially at this
time when foreign corporations are
so numerous, doing business as com
mon carriers, express, telephone, and
telegraph companies, being incorpor
ated in one State and doing business
in a dozen or more States. It works
a hardship, especially upon the cit
izen in moderate circumstances, and
often results in a denial of justice to
the poor man, the widow, and the or
phan, who have not the means to
conduct and carry on a lawsuit with
a foreign corporation 5n the United
States Circuit courts. It may be
and often is many miles distant from
tho home of the plaintiff, owing to
the very few courts established in
any one State. It is against the pol
icy and principles of our Government
and of all civilized nations to place
the machinery of the courts of jus
tice beyond the reach of the poorest
and humblest citizen who seeks re
dress for a wrong or remedy for an
existing evil. (Applause.)
The act of 1875 fixed the right of
the foreign corporation to remove
the cause when the amount involved
in the suit was $500 or more. This
act was amended in 1887 and the
amount of $2,000 fixed as the limit.
Twenty years have elapsed since this
amendment and it has been
twenty years of such progress
and prosperity as were never known
or experienced by any nation or gov
ernment In the history of the world.
We have advanced in wealth and
material prosperity by leaps and
bounds unknown to any nation or
of any age of the world's history, and
ft suit now involving $20,000, con
sidering the comparative wealth and
prosperity of the country, is no great
er and involves relatively no more
values than a suit of $2,000 twenty
years ago. If it is was a wise leg
islation in 1887 to raise the value
limit of removals from $500 to $2,
?00, would it not reflect greater wis
dom and more justice and equity to
raise the limit of removal in this
year A. D. 1908 to the sum or value I
of $20,000? In justice, equity, andi
good conscience I say that it should
ho done at once (Applause.)
For further good and sufficient
reasons why this hill should become
a law I will state what you all know,
what has been shown in the exper
ience of every practicing lawyer in
this country, that the Federal courts
are held by the people of the coun
try in more awe than the State
courts; they are not looked upon
with favor or regarded with the
name degree of confidence as State
courts; they are far removed from
the people and frequently are presid
ed over by judges appointed by the
President from other and distant
States from that in which they pre
side; they are personally unknown
. to ihe jjeople, and I regret to say j
that the knowledge or Information'
the people have gathered concerning
some of these judges Is not rassuring
and not calculated to inspire confi
dence, respect or esteem. (Applause.)
The people value more highly than
any other the right of trial by jury.
That right is often ruthlessly swept
a?ide by a Federal judge in charging
n jury upon the facts or in instruct
ing a verdict. For these and many
other reasons the people and lit
igants generally throughouLthe rural
districts are restless and dissatisfied
under the. present judicial system of
the United States to look upon the;
Federal courts, as now established,
as foreign tribunals, whose presiding |
officers are not in touch or sympa
thy with the masses of the people
and who altogether ignorant of the
character, habits, and customs o. tae
people over whom they wield ji.-.eial
authority after the manner of a ty
rant of the sixteenth century; under
this system equity, justice, and mer
cy are oftentimes most conspicuous
by their absence. (Applause on the.
Democratic side.)
SAVED A $170.00 MARE WHEN A
VETERINARY FAILED TO CURE
HER.
"Whle serving as an officer on the
steamship Montezuma, which carried
horses and mules to South Africa,"
writes Mr. C. H. H. Powe, of Sparta,
111., "I saw Sloan's Sure Colic Cure
used on the horses and never saw a
case of colic prove too much for it.
"We had 1,250 horses on oard for
over a month, so that we had a good
opportunity to test the remedy thor
oughly.
"The veterinary used Sloan's Lini
ment, also, for sore shoulders and
sprains, and the horses were landed
tn a particularly fine condition.
"I know of another case here in
Sparta, 111., where Sloan's Sure Colic
Cure saved a $170 mare the veteri
nary had failed to cure her."
SHOT FROM AMBUSH.
Dr. Glovonni Grana, a prominent
physician; his brother in law, John
Orofino, and a friend, Alfonso Mole,
were shot from ambush in Ybor City,
Fla., by four men, who had secreted
themselves in the grounds of St.
Joseph's Convent. Mole will prob
ably die. the others being only slight
ly wounded. All are Italians, and
the shooting is believed to be the re
sult of a Black Hand Plot. Five
thousand dollars was demanded from
Dr. Grana several weeks ago, and he
had also been warned to leave the
city. Demands have also been made
on other prominent Italians, and
much alarm has prevailed in the
Italian colony. The police have ar
rested five Italians on suspicion.
Fatal Fire Damp.
At Dartmound, Prussia, five mem
were killed In the Lukas mine, as
the result of an explosion of fire
damp. Thirty miners were entomb
ed but they were resuced by their
comrades after several hours of
heroic work. *
