MR. HoUTWELL,g GOLD SALE.

A short time since, Secretary Boutwell,
advertised that he would sell gold on cer-
tain day, to the nmouut Of slo,0oo,ooo, to
the highest bidder. Bids were sent in for
81 ,Ge3+ 600, at rates ranging from about
laQs-5 10 III ~. Before the awards
were made, the Secretary notified the As
elstant Treasurer at New York to reject all
bids below 100. Accordingly MI the bids
were rejected, and no gold was sold.
We are not surprised that this action Of
the Secretary has been received with great
t1isfavor in financial circles. Apart from
the legal aspect Of the case, It ia apparent
that the good faith q the government has
been brought in question, and its credit
ta1nished by the tergiyersation Of the Sec
retasy. Nor is this all. He has introduced
the element uf unce1s 1sa1nty in his trans
actions with the business community,
which constituted the principal ground of
complaint against his predecessor in Office.
Whether the motive which impelled him to
eI-eee h. re.s-~. after h's advertisement
had been published. was desire to get
| more for his gold,-that is, to "bun the
| ulRlkGt, 0NA ~ Htf4aoo [-o ~+4eAAAsA ~ A-A--s
yjduals who have large stocks Of goods on
hand, the prices Of which are declining with
The 5eclinein gold, it is equa]ly indefensible'
4 few weeks ago Mr, Boutwell, sold gold
to PET down the p1;co. There vas no
bad faith in that, although it was an unwar'
rantatle interference. Now he withdraw:
gold, which he had advertised to sell, il
order to put up the price. Both t1ansac
lions are based upon the idea that it is par
Of the duty Of the Secretary Of the Trcasur.
[ to use the immense power Of tue govern
n1ent to regulate private buslness-thal
which there cannot be greater mlstaae
Even though he were gifted with infall
li1ty, be would have no right to do SC
In the present instance it is very csea
that ha has taken step in th
wrong direction. The credit Of the GOV
ttnment is to be re-established by bfingn
its pnss-due PAPER to par with gold NJ
Boutwell, has carried it two points aTl
from the gold standard by his recent nc
instead Of bringing il ono point nearer,
his advertisement promised But what
: needed above all things is that tho COVER
1nent shall keep ita word, no matter who

THE IOWA BOND CAsES,

The Effniny Post undertakes to deny
that tho Supreme Court Of the United
States ever had any jurisdiction of the
Iowa bond cases, and is, therefore, OF the
opinion TINT the judgments must fall After
denying that o corporation can ever be
citizen, and, therefore, contending that it
cannot be party to controversy between
citizens OF different States, it says:
"The truth seems 70 he that municipal cospora.
t,ons Ira merely nsrt and parcel Of The Slate
government, deriving :a!t ihelr powers shefe!Eom.
and the true ground OF Federal jurisdiction III Inc

A sufficient answer to all this is the fact
that the Supreme Court Of the United States
has decided in thess particular cases that
the Federal Courts had Jurisdiction. The
argument TINT corporation in one State
cannot be citizen in the sense to give tho
| Federal Courts jurisdiction in controversy
| with citizen Of another State is answered. IN
tho sa1ne way By aesies Of decisions of
the same Court, dating back rs far as 1900
The Cou1t decided, in q case between ths
Bank Of the United States and certain citl
gems Of Georgis, that, in order to give tae
Federal Courts jurisdiction, an that va
necessary was to agree that the members O
tic corporation were ciizeus; aud It va
also decided, in other CASTS, that mer
residence constituted d man citizen in tn
sense to be entitled to sue, dc.
In these Iowa bond cases tho plaintiff
were citizens Of other States, aud the
brought suits in the Federal Courts agains
| certain Iowa corporations, alleging that th
members Of said corporations we're c'tazcu
! Of Town. This has been tho uniform cor
, st1uction placed by the Cour: upon th
/ judiciary article Of the constitution fro1
> the beginning.

r that the Federal Courts can only obtain j
g risdiction in these cases By the plaintiff
