AFTER YOU HAVE MOVED LET THE PUBLIC know WHERE YOU A.RE LOCATED. The Every ITSoriiiiiK Globe is THE BEST WANT DIRECTORY! VOL. XIII. JORDAN IS NERVOUS. Ominous Row Bstween the City and the Minneapolis & St. Louis. Section Men and Citizens Come Pretty Close to a Street Fight. South Dakotans Want the Legislature to Meet in Extra Session And Appropriate $100,000 to Represent the State at the Big Fair. Special to the f;icbe. Jordan, Minn., May 28.— This town would feel a good deal more comforta ble to- night it it had a company ot mili tia on guard. Great excitement has prevailed all day over a difficulty be tween the city and the Minneapolis & St. Louis Railroad company. The trou ble arose over the council ordering the' street commissioner to tear up the switches, passing tracks and spurs of the company in the city,as the company constructed them six years ago without obtaining permission from the city, and right on one of the principal streets. Last evening the company filled the side-tracks with empty cars to hold the tracks down, and sent in about thirty section men from along the road to prevent the removal of any tracks. For a time it was feared a riot would take place, but as no move was made on the part of the city, no disturbance occurred, and this morning the railroad company served a writ of injunction on the city officials to pre vent them from removing the tracks. The nicy have been here all day, and the train still remains, but the work of removing will be very likely discon tinued by the city until the courts set tle the matter. WANT AN EXTRA SESSION.

Gov. Mellette and a large number of the members of the legislature were delegates to the convention, and all are in hearty accord with the foregoing plan. PLENTY HORSES LET LOOSE. The Redskin With the Equine Name Is Acquitted. Sioux Falls, S. D., May 28.— Plenty Dorses is a free Indian. No inkling of the sudden termination of the case had been given, and at 2 o'clock when court convened, attorneys were preparing to commence their argunients when Judge Shiras said: "There is no need of going further with this case. What I shall Bay is the opinion of this court, but not of my colleague. It is said of my own responsibility." The judge then read in substance that guilt or innocence of the accused turned upon the question as to whether or not a state of actual war existed at the time of Casey's death. In the opinion of the court it has been shown beyond a doubt that such state of war did exist. Immediately upon adjourn ment Plenty Horses was surrounded by ladies and other spectators, who shook hands with him for some time, after which Attorney Porter, with beaming face, led his still silent and undemon strative client to his hotel, where Plenty Horses spent some time writing auto graphs for bystanders. The testimony given by Capt. Baldwin, aide of Gen. Miles, was an important feature in establishing the important fact as to war. He came with all the official papers of the war department bearing upon the circumstances previous to and at the time of Casey's death, and although the documents had only been offered by the defense and their admis sion not yet been decided by the court, the captain's own testimony was of the same character. At noon to-day White Moon, the Cheyenne scout who was ■with Casey at the time of his death, and who has been here as wittness, at tempted suicide by stabbing himself in the base of the neck. He was home sick and despondent. He is not seri ously hurt, aud will recover. lowa Crops Suffering.

This Tragedy May Have a Beneficial Effect on the Assembly. Debate on the Now Famous Heresy-Tainted Union Professor. Detroit, May 28.— T0-day's sessions of the general assembly were entirely given up to consideration of the case ot Dr. Briggs, of Union Theological semi nary. A sad climax to the great debate was the death of Judge S. M. Breckin ridge, of St. Louis, immediately on closing au impressive statement of the legal aspects of the case. On reassem bling after the noon recess the debate on Dr. Briggs was resumed, and Judge Breckinridere, of St. Louis, a member of the committee on theological semina ries, and one of the most eminent law yers in the South, stated the legal points in the case. i T ears ago, he said, Union seminary was independent, but in 1871 became Presbyterian, and, of course, the assembly from that time controlled the appointments. If we don't veto now, said he, we never can. Dr. Logan's amendment for deferring action is im practicable. We view the transfer from one chair to another the same as an ap pointment. We can do nothing wisely except disapprove. I think it is worse not to assign reasons. A judge some times cannot give all the reasons for his decisions on the beach. But without assigning other reasons, it does seem to me that the mind of the church for some months has been anxious and that we should relieve it. Uis last words were: "Now. gentlemen, I feel that I have dis charged my duty and wish to be excused from further speaking." Reaching for a glass of water, he Threw Up Hl* Hands and fell, striking the back of his head heavily on the floor. After the judge had been carried to an anteroom the debate was arrested, and when, a few moments afterward, physicians in the audience who hurried to his aid pro nounced him dead, the assembly voted to do no further business, and instead of the banquet in the rink this evening to hold a prayer meeting in Fort Sireet church. A committee consisting of Presl Patton, Rev. Drs. Hays, C. A. Dickey and 11. P. Smith, and Elders J. ■J. McCook and E. W. C. Humphrey, to which Rev. Dr. Vermiiye, a delegate from the Reformed church, was added, was appointed to make suitable arrange ments in view of the occurrence. Prest Patton asked to be excused because of fatigue. While this committee was ab sent the assembly engaged in devo tional exercises. Dr. Vermiiye said the iudge had passed from this assembly to the "general assembly and church of the first born." Dr. Ersklne told of Judge Breckenridge's distinguished family. He was the son of Rev. Dr. J. W.Breckenridge.who was the brother of the equally noted andgreatly esteemed William and Robert. His mother was a daughter of the beloved Prof. Samuel MiHer, of Princeton, afterwards an honored secretary of one of our boards in Philadelphia, where he had a notable discussion with Archbishop Hughes. Aljror's Timely Offer. It was announced thatGov. Algerhad offered his special car and train to con vey the remains and the committee to St. Louis. As several of the committee had decided to accept this offer, the as sembly continued its devotional exer cises till the committee could perfect and announce its arrangements for the journey and for the memorial meeting to-night. Dr. Logan, of Scranton, said the judge had been a warm friend of the work among the freedmen when it had but few friends. The special committee to go to St. Louis was announced as Rev. Drs. Hays, DicKey, Erskineand Smith, with Elders Rankiu and Mont gomery. Dr. Nichols, the pastor of Judge Breckinridire, is absent, but will return in time to take the train. There was no oppurtunity to see the remains, and after announcing that there would be a prayer meeting in Fort street church at 8 o'clock this evening, the meeting closed with a prayer by the moderator. Many will recall the simi lar sudden death of ex-Gov. Washburne at the great meeting of the American board at Springfield, Mass., which so greatly softened the heated discussion which there, as here, was going on over doctrinal matters. The great wealth of flowers which had been provided for the banquet was used to decorate Gov. Alger's private car and the special train provided by him to carry Judge Breckenridge's re mains with the special committee to St. Louis. The prayer meeting at the Fort 6treet church to-night, which took the place of the banquet, was largely occu pied with reminiscences of the "judge. The tone of the meeting was tender and subdued, and without question the ef fect of this sad occurrence will be both to sober and soften the discussion to-morrow of the Briggs question. It will also probably tend to secure a final vote upon it earlier than wos expected, and the judge's last sotemn and earnest words as to the absolute necessity of acting now, if at all or ever, on the ap pointment or transfer of the learned Dr. Briggs will have great weight with those who hoped that there might be some way for the assembly to take more time for deciding what to do after assuming at this session control of the case. This will probably tend to shorten debate on propositions like Dr. Logan's. Judge Breckenridge,' whose death Is re corded above, represented the Missouri synod as one of the elders, and was a conspicuous rigure in the assembly, as well as a wise coun sellor and sate leader, He was born in Bal timore, Md., Nov. 3, 1828, and was educated at the Union college, New York; Centor col lege, Kentucky, and the College of Xew Jer sey, at Princeton. He graduated at the law school of the Pennsylvania university at Lex ington, Ky., and settled at St. Louis in 1850, -where he has since resided. In Ijs">4 nnd 1855 Judge Breckeuridge represented the city and county of St. Louis in the Missouri legisla ture, and In ]&"i9 he was elected judge of the circuit court of the state. He became elder of the Second Presbyterian church of St. Louis in I*7l. and in 1874 was a member of the general assembly which met !n this city. In 1878 Judge Breckenridge was made a mem ber of the general assembly's committee On the revision of the book of" discipline, which made its final report in 188 i He was a mem ber ol the assemblies of ISBI, '82 and '83. opening jhe Debate. Dr. Patton States the Position of the Committee. Detroit, Mich., May 28.— When the ST. PAUL, MINN., FRIDAY MORNING. MAY 29, 1891. Presbyterian assembly's opening hour drew near this morning there was much more than the usual attendance. The interest in the Briggs case was strong enough to bring not only to bring out a much larger attendance at the opening prayer service, but to fill the galleries with interested spectators. By the time the hour for the business session ar rived the church was tilled. There was no suppression of excitement while the reading clerk ran over the minutes of the assembly, which no one heard because of the hum of conversation, and when the min utes were read the asembly squared away for the battle with heresy, which .has divided interest in this assembly with the report of the committee on the revision of the standard of faith. Key. F. L. Patton, D. D., took the floor in support of the report of the committee. He would like to eliminate from the de bate the personal element. He recog nized the learning ot Dr. Briggs. He was his friend. The directors of the seminary elected Dr. Briggs in good faith and could not be blamed for his subsequent utterances. The real ques tion was whether the assembly had any right to veto a transfer of a professor from one chair to another. The infer ence was the right existed. The assem bly was the supreme tribunal of the Presbyterian church and could not shirk the responsibility of put ting a construction upon that compact. He pleaded that the appointment of a committee as contemplated by the re port was a recognition of the rights of the directors. The conference on com mittees might bring a solution of the whole question by settling which party was right in its construction of the con tract. If they could not be settled thus it could be arbitrated. He pleaded the cause of the committee. It might seem strange to see him in the role of the champion of liberty, yet he is. He was a professor and felt for his class. If an appointment was not acted on at once it should be put out of the power of the assembly to hold a threat over a man for years. In the interest of fairness he wanted to say that personally he had not put a line in the way of Dr. Briggs. He would be unwilling that a resolution should be adopted at this time which should de clare that Dr.Briggs was unfit to preach or that he was a heretic. If the Pres bytery of New York shall prosecute Dr. Briggs the case would finally come to the assembly as the court of last re sort. Sixty-three presbyteries had asked that Dr. Briggs' position on doc trinal points should be inquired into. Was this the kind of a man who should be confirmed by even passive action? The time for adjournment arrived, but upon motion Dr. Patton was allowed to finish his remarks. He claimed that Dr. Briggs and his friends not being able to understand and explain what appeared in the inaugural, therefore Dr. Briggs was an unsafe man to allow to be confirmed. The assembly must ab solutely veto now or never. --~*S> ABLE CHAMPIONS. 5 — Prof. Smith and Drs. Logan and Dickie Give Their Views. Detroit, May, 28.— After Dr. Patton had made the opening statement on behalf of the committee. Prof. Smith, of Lane Theological seminary, said; ,; v "The proposition to terminate the useful ness of a minister should be discussed care fully. Whatever the committee may say— no doubt conscientiously— it will 15 be inferred Dr. Briggs is guilty of some offens. ,• We shall thus cast reproach on his good name, and a great school already stricken by the act of God will be crippled for at least the imme diate future. This is a reason for ■ caution. I know my side is unpopular, therefore hear me candidly and patiently as I try to show that the committee has erred: First, it is doubtful whetherc such i an assembly is able to judge of other than doctrinal qualifica tious. Second, Dr. Briggs is not a new man. He #as elected seventeen years ago, £ think, to the chair of .exegesis in Union Theological seminary. Many of his colleagues and students say he is a man of ability, scholarship,' an able teacher, spiritual and pious. The arguments against him are two: First, he is misunderstood; second, that he is not sound in doctrine. As to the first of these, it is said in quarrels both sides are wrong; why not in a misun derstanding?" Continuing, Prof. Smith said that in the Presbyterian church a man was a heretic who violated the system of doctrine. The general opinion .seemed to prevail that a man charged with an infection was guilty. If the verbal form of the confession was to be insisted upon.most of those present would have to leave the church. There were three charges against Dr. Briggs for his pres bytery to consider. They were his claims of errors iv the Bible translations, called inerrant transmission, progressive sanctification and .infant damnation. Dr. Warfield, of Princeton, published a book showing that certain portions of the New Testament were irregular. Should not he also be proceeded against? Dr. Brigga desired only to find theological grounds for the doc trines set up in the confession of faith. The most serious point was that of progres sive sanctification. He did not fully under stand what Dr. -Briggs meant on this point. Perhaps Dr. Briggs could explain. ■ The Bible and the confession have been misunderstood, why not Dr. Briggs' position? The doctrine of the Presbyterian church meant that every minute of time thirty human beings dropped into hell This went on for centuries. Did they ever reflect and face the problem and keep out of the lunatic asylum? He thought thai possibly God might rind some relief for them. Rev. S. C. Logan, D. D., of Scranton, Pa., wanted the action proposed by the committee modified. In the second res olution he wanted a change made, add ing the name of Dr. Briggs to those to be conferred with. Not only was a professor to be tried, but a whole sys tem of control of the education of min isters for the Presbyterian church. It would tend to the peace of the church if they could postpone action. Presi dent Patton, of Princeton, took the floor in behalf of the report of the committee. He said he admired Dr. Briggs as a friend. The committee would not put a straw in his way. Nor would it make the position ot the directors of union embarrassing. They had hired the man in good faith, and were not responsible for the utterances in his inaugural. The only difficult point to his mind was the interpretation of the compact between Union and the Presbyterian assembly. If that compact permitted the exercise of the veto, and he thought it did, the duty of the assembly now lay in the di rection of exercising the veto or stop ping once for all. He did not believe in qualified or moral condemnation. The assembly must make its condemnation direct, if it made it at all. Dr. Dickie, of Union seminary, rather disappointed the assembly by his failure to back Briggs as strongly as he had been expected to. Dr. Dickie said he saw no sense in condemning Dr. Briggs, any way. The assembly might In its haste do somethimg that vyould be re pented at leisure. The claim of the re port was that, according to the contract with Union seminary, the power of veto could not be exercised if withheld a year. The assembly might interpret the compact its own way, Dr. Dickie said. Dr. Briggs had been elected most informally. The speaker had not been present either at his election or Inaug ural, but supposed if the professor had not tried to air his scholarship, but had paid attention solely to the subject of the authority of the Bible, all would have beeu well. As it was, he asked for a year's delay, and if he were alive through that time, he would do all in his power to brins about a reconcilia tion. SIDE LIGHTS. Prof. Brings'- Resignation Said to Be Written. Detroit, May 28 —It is not generally kuown, but it is a fact, nevertheless, that Prof. Briggs' resignation is in the hands of the trustees of the Union sem inary. They decided to stand by him, but the veto which the assembly will doubtless place upon his appointment may, it is thought, make them consider it best to accept his resignation, and so relieve the seminary from coming in di rect conflict with the highest body known to Presbyterianism. It is be lieved that Prof. Briggs has now under advisement an invitation to join the faculty of the Cambridge university. * President Patton has a rasping voice, and its carrying power was not equal to so large a hall, but the same self-con trol, the same intellectuality and force which marked his prosecution of Prof. Swing, was in his great speech this fore noon. . Prof. Schaff was an interested spec tator. While the debate progressed ttiis morning the assembly was at fever heat. Moderator Green was unable to control the assemblage, and at noon it burst into flame, in groups of two, three and a dozen, and member of the group trying to make himself heard above his fellows. Dr. Dickey, of Phil adelphia, was standing in the "vestibule, and talked freely. "If Patton wants to be fair, why don't he say so in the reso lutions, and not say one thing in the resolutionsgand another on the plat form," he said with no little heat. "1# Dr. Patton intends those resolutions as an olive branch of peace, and will say so in them, 1, as director of union, will receive it with open hands. Only, why is he so inconsistent? He understands how to write and how to talk. Why does he not say in the resolutions what he says on the platform?" Dr. Patton, in tho basement, ner vously said: "I wish- it understood that I am a friend of Prof. Briggs." '-So was Brutus of Ctesar," said a bystander under his breath. BRIGGS WON'T TALK. He Will Leave for Europe Tomor row to Study. New YouK.May 2S.— A reporter called upon Dr. Briggs and conveyed to him the information that Dr. Patton's com mittee had reported unfavorably to him. Dr. Briggs expressed no surprise. When asked his opinion of the action of the committee, he replied: "I have noth ing whatever to say. This is the first information that has reached me touch ing the matter; in fact. I have had absolutely no communication with Detroit since the assembly began its sessions. I have kept away from the meeting partly on account of the condi tion of my health, but chiefly because it did not seem entirely proper under the circumstances to go there. All my knowledge of what has taken place there, I have derived from the newspa pers. I think, also, that it would not be quite the proper thing for me to of fer any criticism, or to make any com ments whatever while the assembly is in session, as to anything in tire pro ceedings of which 1 may be the subject under discussion." Dr. Briggs will sail for Europe on Saturday, by the Umbria, accompanied by his eldest daughter. He expects to return about the middle of September. He will spend the in tervening time at Oxford, where he has planned to pursue a special line of study. Mme. Juch in Trouble. Ixdianapolis, May 88.— Miss Emma Juch, one of the soloists in the musical festival, was made defendant in at tachment proceedings in the superior court yesterday, and her pay in the hands of the festival managers was or dered held to await the issue of the suit.

The suit was brought by the First National Bank of Butte, Mont., and the demand is for 12,000. Myra Clark Games' Will.

THIS IS SENSIBLE. Salisbury Will Likely Accept Uncle Sam'j Proposals. Washixgtox, May 28.— The presi dent this afternoon received a cipher dispatch from Minister Lincoln at Lon den, saying that official notice had been given in the house of commons that a bill would be introduced Mon day to authorize the queen to prohibit British subjects from taking seals Jia Beuring sea. The question engaged the president's principal attention to day and he had conferences at differ ent times on its various phases with Secretary Foster, Secretary Tracy, Secretary Proctor and Acting Secretary Wharton. One point considered was the advisability of sending war ves sels to Bearing sea to reinforce the rev enue cutters in preventing the taking of seals in case a closed season is decided upon. This fleet would, of course, co operate with the English war ships now in those waters in the enforcement of the agreement as concluded. It is under stood that the secretary of the navy reported that there are three naval ves sels that could be prepared for this serv ice without delay. The news of Mr. Goschen's actiou was received with sat isfaction at the state department. Gen erally ii is taken as an indica tion that the British government is preparing to accept the con dition imposed by the presi dent as a preliminary to arbitration and cause the British vessels to refrain from sealing meantime. The fixed period for the cessation of sealing, re ferred to by Mr. Goshun. probably means the remainder of this season. During this time the arbitrators (for it is to be presumed that the British government's action carries with it an acceptance of the terms of arbitration held out by the piesident during the correspondence), will have an opportunity to reach au agreement. In the event that the point of arbitra tion is not reached, it may be that the same timu will be consumed in sending an expert commission to Alaska to investigate the actual condition of the rookeries and settle the question whioh is still «t issue between the eovernments of Great Britain and the United States as to whether what is known as "pelagic sealing," or kill ing seal in the open sea on their way to and from the shore rookers is really as destructive of seal life as has been reported by the United States treasury agents. In the British parliament a measure of this kind was presented to-day, is of privi and takes its place above other meas ures introduced in any other manner, and is almost sure to receive speedy Bction. Loxdox, May 28.— Hon. George J. Goschen. chancellor of the exchequer, in the house of commons to-day gave notice that the government would in troduce a bill Friday which would enable the queen to prohibit British subjects from catching seals in the Behrimr sea for a period the extent of which will be stated when the bill is brought forward. CHANCE FOR CIVILIANS. An Examination Will Be Held for Would-Be Soldiers. Washixgtox, May 2S.— Secretary Proctor will probably appoint a board of officers to-day or to-morrow to conduct an examination for the admis sion of civilians to the army to fill vacan cies now existing among commissioned officers. He has decided to have the ex aminations held here some time in June. There are now about 100 vacancies, sixty-five of which will be necessary to accommodate the cadets of the class that will graduate from the military academy June 12. There are also about fifteen non-commissioned offi cers to be raised in rank, leaving the other commissions to be contested for by the civilians. The secretary has deemed it wise to limit the competi tion to forty candidates, ana to this end there will be a severe physical exam ination preceeding the mental ex amination, designed to reduce the ranks of those presenting them selves to that limit. There may be a second examination held, in case there should be more vacancies than are now foreseen. There is no basis for the rumor that lias gone abroad to the effect that Secretary Proctor has de cided to give the preference in these ap pointments to members of the na tional militia and graduates of state military institutions provided with army instructors. There was a bill in troduced daring the last session of con gress making a provision to this effect, but it failed of passage. It met with no opposition from the secretary of war, although he did not give it any very hearty indorsement. He, therefore, does not now feel bound to act in this line. -^ . IMMIGRATION MATTERS: Gen. Grosvenor Talks on the Rec ently-Named Commission. Washington, May 28.— "1t is time this government did something in the matter of regulating immigration," said Gen. Grosvenor, chairman of the com mission, recently appointed by Secre tary Foster to investigate and re port upon European emigration to the United States. "Just what is speci fically expected of the commission," continued the general, "l don't know, for we have not yet received our instruc tions, but I do know that there is press ing necessity for action on the part of the authorities. Never was any country the receptacle for such a stream of emigrants as is pour ing in on us now. All our previous records as a receptable are being eclipsed. The increase, which has be come so apparent of late, has its origin principally in Southern Italy, and as most of the material now arriving is non-assimilativts, something must bo done. The labor organization complain that sufficient employment cannot be secured for the people al ready there, and there is a very general demand for more rieid immi gration laws. The country is rap idly becoming too strongly tainted with foreign odors. Take Wisconsin as an instance— state that is almost a Euro pean province. The people there demr.nd the conduct of the schools in a foreign tongue, and give other marked evi dences of their alienism. In a little while they will insist on having the rec ords of their legislatures kept in their non-American language, and on top of this will come an endeavor to have the courts operate in the languages native to other lands than ours. This is all wrong. We can't afford to welcome hose who will not be of us." GOOD TKMPLiARS. Dcs Moincs Selected as the Place of Meeting in 1802.

WHERE IS THE HUME? A Lake Schooner Thought to Have Gone Down Neap Chicago. Neither the Vessel Nor Hey Crew of Seven Seen for a Week. It Is Expected That the Jury Bribers Will Get a Fair Trial. The Spring: Garden Bank Fail* ure Far Reaching in Bad Effects. CmcAoo, May 25.-The schooner Ihomas Hume is believed to have gone down in Lake Michigan with all on board, involving a loss of seven lives.

Harry Albrightson, of Chicago, and carried a crew of six men. She was in the lumber trade.and is valued at ?0,00O r partly insured. ft — t JURY UItIHLRS. Belief That New Orleans Will Give Them a Fair Trial, Xr:w Oki.kans. May -js.-When th« McCrystal and O' Mai ley bribery cases were called to-day, their attorney sub mitted a motion for change ot venue. The state introduced a number ot. witnesses, including the leaders of the committee, Messrs. Parkersou and llauston. They testilied that they beiieved the accused could obtain a fair trial here. In concluding his testi mony Mr. Parkerson said: "1 believe O'Malley can get a fair trial. The peo ple of New Orleans have been long-suf-' firing and patient. The fact that Mr. O'Malley was walking around the streets of the city and had thrown defiance in the face of tho community was the best evidence that the accu>"<l could obtain a fair trial. There was In! this connmiimy an Immense preju dice against jury bribers and per jurers, and as O'Malley was xvw erally regarded as both of these, there was, very naturally, prejudice against him. Notwithstanding this it required twelve men to try :i rase, and twelve men could be secured in this community to give O'Malley a fairj trial." Mr. Purfcerson admitted having, said "Leave O'Mulley to our committee and we will attend to him." JJefore all the testimony had Ltpii heard Mr.Henii« ques, of counsel for defense, abandoned Hit; motion for a change of venue, anil asked to have the case fixed for trial June 10, as he desired to he absent (ruin the city until that date, but the state's' attorney objecting, Mr. Benriques then gave notice of withdrawal of tlie! plea of not guilty and stated that he would make a demurrer similar to that sustained Ly the court in the case against Granger, in which the in-, formation was quashed on the ground that the allegations set forth were not sufficient. The McCrystal and O'Malley cases go over till to-morrow, wheu tho demurrer will be passed upon. OLD COALS EASILY KINDLED. New Orleans People in No Moo<|, lor Trill in a. . New Ohi.kans La., May 2S.— Thero are many muttering:-, of discontent at the developments in the bribery case. The apparent spiriting away of one of the principal witnesses and the asser tion that the law cannot; punish bribers of tales jurors have made a bad impres sion on the public mind, an<l may lead to serious trouble. The newspapers am loud in their warnings that the temper] of the people will not ionger permit de lay in the purification of the fountains of justice. The New Delta says: "Newt Orleans is not in a mood to be trifled' with. We would greatly deplore enact ment of the scenes of March 14. but on that day the people were destroying, uot individuals, but a system, and they are determined that sjsteiu in its shoots and ramifications shall be destroyed— i by legal and judicial methods, if possi ble, but destroyed."
