II is believed that the popular

late II. G. Atkins, being contributed
by the employees of the st. Paul rail
way company, will amount to about
$4,000. Such a token Of love and
esteem will be creditable to the
track fraternity and is the kind Of
tribute which the big-hearted super

OF the revision itself as done by Judge G. W.
Goddard the PRESS spoke very fully several

imous opinion of the legal profession Of the
State that the work is done in an admirable
manner. Publishers and printer have done
their part to give this valuable and useful
work 8 proper dress. 1t is printed from new
type on paper of the best quality, and the
appearance of the pages is clean, legible and
attractive, the margins being sufficiently
broad TO permit the making of reasonable
amount of annotations. There are !, 456 pages
in the book, which is bound in an excellent
quality Of leather, both neat and durable.
In short every one who has had to do with
the making of this book seems to have done
his work as upon honor, and the result is a
volume which is pride, as well as necessity
to the legal profession, Loring, Short & Har-
mon have it for sale and intelligent citizens
who ara not lawyers will find the book a use

those who voted against him. While such
paper would not seem to all a conclusive
demonstration that he had been abused, a
shrswd man like the Mayor could turn it to
good account sooner or later. He might
have 1t engrossed and framed as pal
pabls testimony to the truth Of his own ver-

publlcans. That the Republicans we're able
to elect the head Of their ticket In the face
of the frauds that were perpetrated by their
opponents shows that they are thoroughly
united, and that eventually they will wrest
the council from the Democracy Auburn,
which last year gave but three Republican
majority, increased 1t this year to eighty
two. Rockland did nobly. The powerful
combination which defeated the Republl-
cans last year was overthrown at every
point, and the mayoraltg aud both branches
OF the council are in possession of the Re-
publicans. The same dssensions which re
suited unfavorably to the Republican ticket
in Bath last year were present this year, and
defeated an election. But Bath, when party
lines are drawn, is Republican by large ma
jority. Ellsworth is the only city In which
the Democrats can claim that they have

The Legal Tender Decision

The decision of the Supreme Court, in the
case of Juillard vs.. Greenman, settles a very
important principle. In May, 1878, Congress
passed what Is known as the Fort bill, a
measure which forbade the further retire.
ment of greenbacks, and required that
whenever such notes were received thew
should be reissued and kept in circulation.
The passage of this act was equivalent to
the assumption on the part of Congress of
power to issue legal tender notes in time of
peace. The constitutionality of the act was
seriously doubted by some of the best con-
s'itutional lawyers of the country, and to
test 1t fictitious case was arranged by the
Hon. ). e. Chittenden and Gen. q r EEu ,se
Ter, the la!.a. z.pporting the constitutional
ty OF the act and the former denying it. Suit
was brought in TIE United States circuit
court of New York, and that court decided
pro lorna that the act was constitutional.
| The case was then taken on a writ of error
to the Supreme Court of the United States
for final decision in regard to the con-
stitutonality of the law. The case was SUBJ
Il
the court, Justice Field alone dissenting, is
that the Fort law is constitutional. Thus
the power OF Congress to issue legal tender
notes whenever it may see fit--in peace or
in warts affirmed.
| The effect of the decision of course is 10
| place the currency OF the country entirely at
the mercy of the legislative branch of the
| government. The constitution can no long
er be relied upon to protect us against the
| notions OF the fiat money advocates. Did
these men constitute majority of Congress
to-day they could issue aud endow with the
legal tender quality as many notes as they
might deem expedient, and in the face Of
this decision no one could question their au-
| thority so to do
The soundness of the argument by which
the majority Of the court arrive at their de-
cision will undoubtedly be questioned by
many of the most eminent constitutional
lawyers of the country. Many will fall to
see, with Judge Field, why the power to Dor
row money given to the national govern
ment by the Constitution should mean so
much more than the same power as con-
ferred in charters of municipal bodies sssr in
the contracts of individuals. But whether
the reasons on which 1t rests are sound OF
not the decision of the court is final. The
power of Congress to issue legal tender
notes in any quantity and at any time is
confirmed and put beyond dispute.
The decision is likely to have no immedi-
ate effect on our currency. The days of the
| greenback craze are over, and there is at
present no general demand for more legal
tender notes. Hereafter, however, 1t will
be more important than ever to see that the
majority of our Congress is made up OF
men financially sound, inasmuch as our cur
reDcy is TO be committed to their sole keep

Mr.. Hendricks, as appears by our special
COZ respondenee published in ano her col
uan, is not so unwell that be does not take
deep and definite interest in American
politics and especially in the prospects of the
Democratic party. His opinions are rather
hazy, as they are apt to be, but it is pretty
clear that be does not fight with Mcdonald,
that he IS opposed 10 protective tariff poll
cy, and that he does not believe the Demo-
cratic party can succeed in the national con-
test unless It can capture the favor of The
independent voter. Mr.. Hendricks's notion
that the independent voters, those who own
no stable party alliances, will determine the
Issue Of the election is reasonable one. A
Ras need not 60 to Paris to get wisdom
enough to utter such an opinion. And if
Mr.. Hendricks we're In America instead of
Europe and had his eyes open, be would dis
cover that the independent voter is pretty
thoroughly Disguised with the Democratic
party and its failure TO meet expecta-
tons whenever it is given a chance to do
