THE RIGHT TO BEAR ARMS.

Under the above caption the Chicago
Herald of the 9th inst has very sensi-
BILE article on this subject. Chicago has
been and still is infested with Socialistic
and Nihilistic societies, and these soci-
cites were liable to become source OF
danger to the peace Of that city. This
decision spoken Of will solve problem
for Chicago. The Herald says:
The decision of the United States Su-
preme Court in the Presser case, involving
the constitutionality of an Illinois law dis
banding all military organizations not au-
thorized by State authority, was unfavor-
able to the appellant, as he and his attorneys
might have known that it would be. The
provision in the Federal Constitution to the
effect that no State shall abridge the right
Of the people to bear arms amounted to a
denial of the right in any State to say who
should and who should not bear arms.
At the time this suit began the Socialistio
organizations in Chicago were menacing the
public peace. They had few military COM
panies of their own, which were in the habit
Of parading freely and openly, boasting OF
their ability to overcome the military power
Of the State. As these commands were not
subject to any lawful authority and were
liable to be used at any time when passion
might, get the better of their leaders in resist
ance to municipal and State power, a bill was
passed by the Legislature making 1t unlawful
FOR such organizations to exist without
license from the Governor. As they per-
sisted in their parades a few of the leaders
were arrested and fined, and it is the appeal
of one of them which has now been decided
adversely in the court of last resort.
So long time has elapsed since the occur.
| renee of which this suit was the outgrowth
and the feeling then occasioned has so thor
oughly died out, that not much attention is
likely to be paid to n ruling which, as soon Of
passion gave place to reason, all must have
seen was inevitable. The police power OF
the States is absolute, and, in exercising il
for the common safety, rights guaranteed
by the constitution are not invaded, but
preserved. It is not denying or abridginl
the right of the people to bear arms to insis,
that they shall satisfy the State authorities
that their purposes are lawful, for otherwise
they have no rights in the premises.

with Executive duties by soliciting or
suggesting appointments to office.
II the President can succeed in doing
this he will indeed have done great
work for the country. Members Of Con-
gress have heretofore devoted too much
time to soliciting appointments to office
for friends and workers" Much Of
their time has been SO spent, but there
are some hundreds OF members,
and when they all call on
the President to ask flavor"
the time which the President has to give
to the duties OF his Office is very limited.
This condition OF things is the natural
result OF placing politics and government
on 10 higher level than the theory that
to the victors belong the spoils. The
time consumed in working for office
makes it almost impossible for officers to
perform the duties belonging to theil
office. The task which Presisent Cleve
land has undertaken TO perform is O
mighty one, and to accomplish it viii
require persistence and courage toc
rarely found in public officials, but Mr.
Cleveland has this persistence and cour
age in wonderful degree, and he viii
accomplish his task.

THROUGH THE SENATE.

The new Edmunds bill has passed the
Senate with only one amendment. This
amendment makes marriages within the
fourth degree incest. The new bill will
now go to the House and the probabili-
ties are that it will pass that body. 1t
has passed the Senate by very large
majority and this indicates that it will
pass the House. The debate on the
bill in the Senate was confined chiefly
to the II, Is and IA sections, these sec
tions relating to the confscation of the
property OF the Mormon church.
Little of the property belonging
to the church will be found,
and ii there should be much
found there is no necessity in the world
for the appointment of fourteen trustees
to manage that property. II fourteen
men are to be given places because they
need them it is easy to understand the
creation of these offices. This part Of
the new bill will be wholly imperative
and the effect OF it will be to make more
difficult than ever the settlement of the
Utah qeestion. Senator Edmuuds has
misapprehended the condition OF things
in Utah II he is OF opinion that he will
find any church property. He should
have supplemented this part of his bill
by providing that mandamus may
issue to compel Mormons to pay fittings

THE LONDON MINT.
Four Hundred and seventy Tons
of Precious Metal.

The recently issued report OF the
deputy master OF the mint, giving an ac-
count of the operations OF that depart
ment for the year 1884, is more than
usually interesting document. From it
we learn that the amount OF gold coined
during the year exceeded by more than a
million the amount coined in 1888, while
the silver coinage was but little in excess
OF the average. The coinage of bronze.
however, was larger than in any year
since 1875.
The total weight of metal melted down
during the twelve months was 47O tons
made up as follows, certain proportion
OF alloy being, of course, included: Gold,
81 tons; silver, 1913 tons, and bronze, POS
tons. The total number of coins struck
out OF this metal was 65, ,295, 1882, giving
an average of more than l,2OO, 900 per
week throughout the year. Out OF these.
however, 1881 ,0Sl pieces did not come
within the limits OF the standard legal
weight, 80 that the number OF pieces avail.
able for issue was reduced to Sc, ,363, ,3OI.
the value of these pieces being, real or
nominal, E3, l57 1865, 10 shillings, penny.
OF this amount, e3,070, ,292, 10 shillings.
5 pence al ,093,30 pieces) consisted OF
Imperial coinage, the remaining e87, ,673.
ID shillings, 8 pence Q5,270,0O0 piecesj
being colony coinage for Canada, Jamaica,
Hong Kong, etc. All this coinage, both
Imperial and colonial, has been executed
at the mint, its increased coinage power
rendering it unnecessary that any portion
OF the work OF coinage should be intrust-
ed TO private firms. .rl.l
The greatest number of coins struck of
any denomination was about II 700 900,
consisting, as will readily be supposed, OF
pence. Half-pence came next in point
Of numbers, nearly 100000 of this coin
being struck. The number OF farthings
struck was 100000, seemingly
large number, considering the pres
ent small general circulation OF this
coin. OF shillings nearly 1000. 900
were coined sixpences, over 3,4OO, 900
three-pences, over $4,000 Soyereipns
and half-sovereigns were coined to the
number OF over 100000 and 100 900
respectively. OF Colonial coinage, that OF
bronze half-cents for the Straits settle
ments was numerically largest, 1000 900
Of this coin being struck during the year.

IN ACCORD.

The stories about discomfort and dis
cord in the Democratic party, when traced
and fully tested vanish into mere moth.
ingness. One OF the widest circulated of
these stories is the one that Governor
Hill, OF New York, is not in harmony
with the Administration. Governor
Hlll's'speecll at the Jackson banquet in
New York yesterday sets this idle and
vicious story at rest forever. When Gov
ernor Hill ran against Ira Deven-
port for Governor, many tried to
make it appear as though the
election of Hill was rebuke
to Mr.. Cleveland. 1t is strange
sort OF rebuke to elect man Governor
Of the first State in the Union who is in
full accord with the President. Such re-
Dukes are to be desired. 1t is not ex-
pected that all men will see things ex-
actly alike, and it is no sign OF detection
at all that many Democrats do not see
things just as the President does. What
political parties need is more in
dependence in the members, for so soon
as men sink their individuality for the
benefit OF party, they become mere ma
chimes and serve as tools of despotism in
the hands of tyrants. Individuality is
what voters need, and the political party
that is composed Of men having the most
individuality and independence will be
the strongest party and the one to which
it will be safest to intrust the administra-
ton OF the Government. The more indi-
viduality men have the more liable they
are to be in accord on true principles.

PARDONs.

We have frequently commented upon
the granting Of pardons to criminals, and
condemned the practice. Governor Hoad-
ley in his message, and which, by the
way, is most able and admirable docu-
ment, speaks OF pardons in this Ian
guage:
The views expressed in my last message
upon the subject of the pardoning power re-
main unchanged. l granted only nineteen
pardons during the year between November
15, 1884, and November Ii, 1885. or these,
one was forfeited by breach of condition and
the prisoner returned to confinement.
have been made to feel very keenly the abb
sence of protection to the Governor from
imposition and fraud in this class of appli-
cations. They are OK parte, and with all the
time and trouble the Governor may take for
investigation he can hardly ever be abso-
lutely sure that he Is safe in either granting
or refusing.
The applications for pardons are always
er parte and very rarely are such appli-
cations any thing but plaintive cry on
behalf OF a criminal who deserves nothing
but punishment. Ii there is good reason
for pardoning a man after trial and con-
viction then the same reasons should be
sufficient to induce a prosecuting officer
to enter plea Of nolle prosequi. AS a
rule every fact that can be set forth rs a
reason for the exercise OF the pardoning
power is brought out on the trial and is
weighed by an impartial jury.
There is little chance to inn
pose upon jury in trial,
but there is every chance to impose upon
an Executive. The majority OF those
who sign applications for pardons do SO
at the solicitation OF friends OF the pris-
oner, and upon the representations Of
these friends as to the facts in the case.
These friends say that the facts were SC
and 30, and those who are solicited tc
sign the application say that if such is the
case they will sign their names. The con,
sequence is that men are induced to sign
these applications upon an er pdrtt
assertion OF facts and not upon proof o
facts. Those who assert the facts may be
sincere, but their sincerity does not prove
their assertions It very seldom happens
that all the facts in criminal case are
not brought out, and experience proves
that the facts which may not come oui
are generally suppressed by the person on
trial, and suppressed because they would
make more clear his guilt. No man can
judge OF the merits of n case by hearing
only one side ofitso well as twelve men can
who hear both sides and who are sworn
to bring in verdict according to the evi-
dence. The number OF criminals who
escape is far greater ssthan the number
of innocent men who are wrongfully
convicted. The complaint all over the
country has been that the jury system
was inadequate to punish crime on ac.
count Of the indulgence given criminals
by juries. Such being the case, there arc
very few cases in which there can be any
good reason for granting pardons to men
who have been found guilty by jury.
The pardoning power should be either in
Governor or Board OF Pardons, but
it should be exercised most cautiously.

WHAT HE WILL DO.

A few days ago President Cleveland
said to the Washington correspondent OF
the New York Herald:
believe the most important benefit that
can confer on the country by my Presi-
dency Is to insist upon the entire independ-
ence OF the Executive and Legislative
branches of the Government, and compel
the members of the Legislative branch to see
that they have responsibilities Of their own,
grave and well defined, which their official
oaths bind them to sacredly perform.
The correspondent said that his inter-
probation OF this remark was that the
President meant that he would confine
himself to making recommendations to
Congress, as required by the Constitu-
ton, and signing and vetoing bills, and
that he would require members OF Con-
gress TO confine themselves to their con-
stitutional duties, and not to interfere
