The FORGED Bond Plate.

Secretary Folger, in his report Of the inves-
tigation Of the Doyle bond-plate states that
never have two bonds of the same number been
offered for redemption, and that no bond with
a number higher than or different from some
genuine number has ever been presented at
the treasury. These facts, he claims, dispose
of the published rumor that $22, ZOO, 900 in
spurious securities were struck off by the
counterfeiters. Treasury agents, after full in.
vestigation, found no basis for the story that
more than the 207 counterfeit bonds found in
Doyle's hands we're printed. The secretary be-
ieves that no plate or die has been furnished by
treasury employees with which to manufacture
spurious securities.

PROPERTY RIGHTS In AMERICA,

A writer in the Popular Science
Monthly says: "While in England and
on the continent of Europe property is
much more unequally held than in Amer
lea, it is evident that there are forces at
work in the new world which are creet-
ting problems similar to those in the
old. Competent observers declare that
wealth is passing more and more into
the hands of the wealthy, the manners
of the wealthy class are improving-they
are gradually becoming an aristocracy in
all but name; and as the societies of the
older cities become more and more cul-
tivated, I think we may see large pro-
portion of wealthy families retaining
their possessions for generations as they
do abroad. It used to be thought that
the sons and grandsons of rich Ameri-
cans could be relied upon to give back
to the community their inherited wealth
through decentralization and incompe-
tence; but that reliance is proved base
less in noteworthy proportion of cases
in Now York, Philadelphia and Boston.
Fifty years ago the wealthiest man in
America had fortune of ten millions,
let us say; now the wealthiest citizen of
the United States has a fortune esti-
mated at from 10 to Is times as much;
and the proportionate increase in the
extent of fortunes of the second and
third magnitude has been similar. Has
the wealth of the average citizen in

case were class lines as distinctly drawn
here as they are across the Atlantic.
The conquest of the weak by the strong,

Iature is the legislating ont OF Office OF the
present competent circuit judges OF the

would not only be a wrong done to the peo-
pie and the present judges themselves, but
10 the Constitution of the State. When the
trainers Of that instrument clothed the

the number thereof" they did not
dream that they were thereby granting
10 that body the power to legislate out OF
Office those constitutional officers whom
they had in another section endeavored to
render perfectly Independent OF the Legis-
lature. This is evident from the fact that
they IN the same instrument prohibited the
Legislature from diminishing the "salaries
and allowances " OF the judges during
their term OF Office" One of two things
j. evident from the constitutional proyi-
sion last referred to-nameiy, either the

circuit judges which could not be disrc-
yarded without a violation Of that clause OF
the Federal Constitution which prohibits a
state from passing any law impairlng the
obligation OF contracts.
Mr.. NlcoL's point is strengthened by the
fact that the circuit judges are now serving
out their second terms. They held their
Offices for eight years ending with 1873, no
legislature attempting to diminish their
,alaries and allowances during that long
term, and none even 80 much a. daring to
claim the power to do 80, much less the
power 70 legislate them out OF office
entirely. They accepted second
term. therefore, not only with the
constitution before their eyes, in which
Constitution they are guaranteed term OF
eight years. and that their salaries and al
lowances shall moi he diminished during
their term, but with the experience OF the
eight years Just passed rs guarantee to
them that no such wrong would be at
tempted upon them during the next eight
wears. They felt that confidence in the
psrmanonce Of their position which fixed
tenure Of Office gives. But here come the
ReSdiustcr> and propose TO treat with con-
tempt the contract made in the Constitu-
lion. and under its authority by the General
Assembly, and to turn out Of Office judges
whose salaries even they have not the power

The protest OF Mr.. SAYEIs, of Wythc

those OF the Southwest. 1t is shame that
the Legislature should condcscend to the
work OF thus depriving men OF Offices to
which they have IN indeieasible title for
no other reason than that those offices are
wanted for hungry partisans.
How do the Mahoneites expect TO pass
