CASSIDY ON SILVER COINAGE

Representative Cassidy, of Nevada,
is sound on the silver question. He
is reported as saying there is no real
reason for the continued opposition
to silver coinage except tnat New
Workers think there would be more
chances for gambling in gold if the
silver dollar were put out of the way.
He said that the Pacific Coast men,
bers would insist if any change were
made In the Coinage Act unlimited
coinage should be adopted, thus CIV
ing the right to all to send their sill
yer to the mint and have it coined, a
privilege they formerly had before
the Act providing for the coinage of
100000 per month was adopted.
Mr.. Cassidy and the other Pacific
Coast members should be supported
by every journal published in the sill
yer producing States and Territories
in their efforts to extend to all the
right to send their silver to the
United States mints and have it
coined. The producers of gold are
accorded this right, and there is no
valid reason why silver miners should
not enjoy it. If the silver coinage
law be amended at all, a clause pro-
for the unlimited coinage of
the metal should be adopted.

Omaha Herald: A review Of con-
gressional history shows that Ken
lucky has had the Speakership more
years than any other State in the
Union. Virginia comes next, with
fourteen years; then Pennsylvania,
eleven years; Massachusetts, ten
years; Indiana, eight years; Maine,
North Carolina, New York, and New
Jersey, six years; Ohio four, and
Georgia two. The fact that Ken
lucky leadsthe above list is made an
argument against the election Of Mr.
Carlisle, but we are not aware that
the Speakership is decided upon any
such basis. The man most in accord
with the principles of the majority
and otherwise fitted for the great
trust is the one to be chosen, ire
spective of State preferences.

ANOTHER SOUTHERN OUT
RAGE.

John Sherman has had an attack
of ''blood-boiling" over the result Of
the recent elections in Virginia and
Mississippi. He has not been so vic.
lently stirred mp since he discovered
Eliza Pinkston down in Louisiana in
1879. But it seems he is destined to
have his feelings further narrowed
up. Another Southern outrage has
been committed. This time it is in
the shape of the unanimous endorse
ment of Mayor Courtney, of Charles
ton, s. c., the Democratic nominee
for reelection, by a large meeting of
the colore6 voters Of that city. In
doing so they adopted a platform de-
claring that they recognized the fact
that the interests of the white and
co]ored races are inseparable; that for
the welfare and advancement of
Charleston 1t Is necessary that there
should be unity, peace and concord
between the races, and that to in
sure good government all party
and personal prejudice should be put
aside and union effected for the right
man in the right lace. All the lead
ing colored taxpayers united in the
proceedings, thus evincing their in
terest in the continuance in Office of
an able, impartial, acd fearless chief
magistrate. Senator Sherman doubt
less thinks it is about time proceed
ings Of this kind should end. he,
like many other Republicans, have
come to regard the colored vote as
belonging to the Republican party,
and it is difficult for him to under
stand why negroes will support DEM
ocrats, as they did in Virginia and
Mississippi. Hence, when they do,
the Republicans of the John Sher-
man stripe ascribe 1t to coercion on
the part of the whites. This Charles
ton case will, therefore, be regarded
by them as another Southern out
rage.

rHn N. P. INJUNCTION SUIT.

It will be remembered that some
time ago the Northern Pacific rail
road stockholders agreed to issue sec
ond mortgage bonds to the amount
of $50, OOO, 900. II ere were 352,42s
shares voted for the issue and only
60 against 1t. But one d. D. Ponte
acting for these sixty-three objector1
brought suit to restrain their issue by
the company. The case recently
came up before Judge Wallace Of
| New York for trial. The plaintiff
held that the joint resolution of Con-
gress was a privilege Of the original
corporation only, and did not pass to
the present corporation upon tho re-
organization of the company, and
that the resolution only permitted a
single mortgage to be created and
the privilege was exhausted upon the
creation of the first mortgage. In
his decision the Judge held that:
"The purpose of including the right
to mortgage the franchises of the cor
poration on the consent of Congress
was palpably in order that a pur-
chaser under q foreclosure nights sue
coed to all the rights and privileges
of the original corportion. As there
was no restriction in that consent re-
specting the amount for which q
mortgage may be created by the cor
poration, OF relating to the scope or
character of the mortgage, the impli.
cation seems not only fair but
irresistible that. Congress intend
ed to leave all this to the dis
cretion of the corporation itself, to be
exercised in view Of the exigencies
of the undertaking."
In conclusion the Judge added that
it ia delegated to the stockholders,
and to them alone, to determine
whether. in view of all the circum-
stances of the situation, the interests
If the corporation will be best SUBJ
served by the creation of such a sc.
If their consent is finally oh.
tanned 1t Is conclusive. The plaintiff
cannot be heard to complain it they
are satisfied. 1t may be proper to
state In conclusion tat a court of
will not be swift to grant the
relief Of a preliminary in
junction to an officious plaintiff, who
seems to have acquired his interest as
. stakeholder with the view of assail
Ing transactions in the corporate af-
fairs of which existing stockholders
do not seem to have complained. The
offs law suit is entitled to
what he has bought, and may insist
that his rights shall be recognized &C.
cording to the settled principles Of
but he can only insist that such
preliminary relief be granted a. is
indispensable to preserve
that cannot be adequately pro-
tected at the ultimate decision OF the
case. Holding these opinions the
Judge refused to grant the injunc-
lion prayed for.

OWL RIGHTS.

Justice Harlan, Of the United
States Supreme Court, was the only
judge who did not agree with his
brother members in their opinion in
the civil rights cases recently decided
before that body. Justice Harlan
thinks the opinion in these cases, de-
livered by the majority, proceeds upon
grounds entirely too narrow and arti-
ficlal and adds: The substance and
spirit Of the amendments of the Con-
stitution have been sacrificed by sub
tie and ingenious criticism. The
constitutional provisions adopted in
the interest of liberty and for the pur-
pose Of securing, through national
legislation if need be, rights inhering
in q state of freedom and belonging
to American citizenship, have been
so construed as to defeat the ends the
people desired to accomplish, which
they intended to accomplish, and
which they supposed they had accom-
plished by changes in their funda-
mental law. The court has departed
from a familiar rule, requiring in the
Interpretation of constitutional pro-
visions that the full effect be given
the intent with which they were
adopted;
The power conferred by the thir-
teenth amendment does not rest upon
implication OF inference, and the
power to enforce it by appropriate leg
islation was expressly granted. Con-
gress, therefore, may enact laws to
protect the colored people against
deprivation OF account of their a c
OF any civil rights enjoyed by other
free men In the State, and such legis-
lation may be of a direct and primary
character operating upon States, their
Officers and agents and upon those
yielding power under the state. The
National Legislature may, without
transcending the limits of the Con-
stitution, do for human liberty and
the fundamental rights of American |
citizenship what it did with the sane
ton of the supreme court for the pro
lection Of slavery and the rights of
the masters OF fugitive slaves. In
every material sense applicable to the
practicable enforcement of the four
teenth amendment, railroad corpora
tions, keepers of inns, and managers
OF places of amusement are agents of
the state. because amenable to pub
lie regulation and denial by these in
strumentalities, the state to the citi-
zen, because of his race, of that
equality in civil rights secured him by
law is a denial by the states, and the
supreme law Of the land has decreed
no authority shall be exercised in this
country upon the basis of discrimi.
in respect to civil rights
freemen and citizens because
their race, color, or previous con-
Hilton OF servttude.
In conclusion the justice says: The
sumption that thegeneral govern
nent cannot IN advance of hostile
tate laws or hostile state proceed
ngs, actively interfere for the protec-
ion OF any rights, privileges and inn
aunities secured by the fourteenth

THE order that pO~tmasterS of first

lent themselves from their offices with
out the written permission of the De-
partment, under penalty of removal,
should work a reform in the conduct of
many offices, where pOstmasters have
come to regard their places as sinecures,
leaving all the supervisory work to the
deputy postmaster. The pOstmasters
al offices of the first and second class
receive good salaries, and it is only just
that they should be required to give
personal attention to their duties. The
wonder is that such an order as that of

Legislature recommended the plan pur-
sued in many other States, Of appoint
ing a tax commission to inquire into
and ascertain the defects and needs Of
our tax SYSTEM. Their duties are set
forth in the bin providing for their app
pointment, as follows:
l. That the Governor shall appoint q
commission, consisting of three proper
and discreet persons, whose duty 1t
shall be to investigate the subject Of
taxation in this State.
9. That the commissioners shall as
certain and report such facts and sug-
gestions as win enable the legislature to
give'effect to section ] Of article y Of
the constitution. 1t shall be the furth-
er duty of said commissioners to col
leet and report suecinctly whatever in
formation will enable the legislature to
legislate intelligently and with safety
upon subjects calculated to advance the
development OF the resources OF the
State. And the said commissioners
shall have power to inquire into and
report what economies can be intro
duced into the management OF State
affairs.
In pursuance of this act the Cover
nor has Just appointed three commits
s~ioners, whose ability, exp erience and
acquaintance with matters of this char
acter give u a that the work will
be well done and that they will make
such an exhibit to the next Legislature,
as will enable them to finish intelli-
gently and comprehensively the work
begun.
This is the status of the whole subject
oftaxation which has been agitating
the people of the State for the past few
months. Whatever be the final result
of the work, the object in view cannot
be impeaehed except from the most
sordid and partisan motives.
