Overhauling the Banking Business of Lee
Dunn - Co.
Before Judge Cardozo.
This Court met at eleven A. NJ yesterday, pursuant
to adjournment The only business Of any impor-
lance transacted was hearing the argument upon
writ OF habeas corpus and certorarl In the case Of
Edward Green, alleged to have been one Of the
partners or the so-called firm OF Lee, Dunn Co.,
claiming to carry on the banking business at No. %
broadway. There are two complaints against Green
one OF giving draft on the Bank Of England anu
another on the Royal Bank Of Ireland without nav-
ing funds at either bank. The particulars OF the
case were 1ully published at the time OF the arrest
OF Green. Mr. Charles S. Spencer, on behalf OF
Green. urged that he could not be held on the evil
dence, which was merely secondary. lie insisted
that letters from the banks stating that Green had
no money IN them would be insufficient to warrant
holding MIN. District Attorney Garvin made short
argument on his part by stating that an Indictment
would probably be speedily proved against Green.

Imperialism claims the right to fix sui.

On the subject of Mecenary Poll
ties, Z he says the present law is inado
quate to punish those engaged in the
corrupt use of money in elections, and
advises the passage Of an amendment to
the law, so that either of the parties to
the crime, by becoming witness tor the
state against the other, or others, shall

of law by which corporations attempt

turnable before military commissions
clothed with authosity to execute them
ut the point of the beyonet, on the test
mony Of spies, it may be that the gov
srnment kas ceased to answer the object
Of its creation-it then becomes an en-.
CINE Of oppression, demon Of cruelty, q
radical imperialism.
The Imperial or radical is the antipode
of Republican government, and the
sooner tho fact becomes known, the bet
ter it will be for the people.
When the government is essentially
despotic, there can be no objection to ia
CLAIM of titular distinction, although
there may be great difficulty in the pro-
curement Of . name appropriately dis
tinguishing it.
But in view Of its being equally des-
tructive to the general welfare Of the
people, with or without . name. it is fol-
" in the partisan or press to deny its
approval Of the one while favoring the
other.
Parties making war upon Republican
institutions, and subvcrting them to their
own selfish purposes, are in no condi-
ton for preferment in o changed form
or government.
The most they could do would be to
seize, by violence, the strongholds of
power, and could never hope for recon.
citation or moral support from the peo-
pie whose liberties they had betrayed.
Hence, civilization will hold the willing
apologist of such apostacy, as criminals
at the bar of unfettcred public reason.
In the face of all this abuse of power, it
may be well to remember that retribu-
tive justice may yet overtake those who
would barter the priceless liberties for
such selfish ends. The American poo
pie are not yet prepared for domestic
or foreign yoke ; individualism and
love of personal independence charac-
ises the predominant American race.
There is, rs yet, no considerable num-
Der Of sOcialistic character disciplined
to UNIVERSAL vassalage, and I trust there
will be none for many generations.
