LONDON, Jan. 22.-Nothing has
been published here in regard TO the
report that the bank Of England has
recently besA a hgaFS purchaser OF
silver bullion and is contemplating
the issue Of pound notes redeemable
in silver as soon as the nect sSary ALL
thOrity could be obtained. Careful
inquiries in financial circles this
morning resulted in showing that
a few had heard Of the report and
they were increduious as 10
its accuracy. Chief financial. au-
thorities expressed the opinion that
the report was wholly without
foundation In fact they Inserted
positively chat the Bahk Of Eng
land had made no such purchase
OF bullion and was not buying silver
now. Further tran this thew Dc.
clared that purchases Of silver were
not being made by any London
bank with reference to the al
legged intention Of the Bank
OF England TO issue pound notes.
was drawn 10 the fact that
neither the Bank Of England nor
any other bank in England could
issue pound notes without special
to that end by act Of Par
lament. IL was considered dptbtful /
whether so conservative an institu- !
ton as the Bank Of England
would he making preparations |
Tor SO radical n departure |
from its previous history before
definite authority had been secured.
Silver bullion is one-eighth Of a
penny lower per ounce today. The
Bank OF England rate Of discount
has continued at per cent for some I
lime PAST.

JUDICIAL INC0SGRUITY.

HE decision Of the Supreme
Court Of Utah in regard to the
officers to be elected in this CITY. 81
far as it goes, appears to be good
aw. But it leaves the main ques.
ION in a very unsatisfactory condi,
ten. If the officers to be elected are
those named in the act of the las.
Territorial Legislature, then the
manner Of electing them must be
such as is prescribed in that law.
But a former decision Of the same
latter point, and thus the two de.
cisions are homogeneous.
The law providing that under
certain conditions the municipal
government TO be elected in a city
Of the first class shall be a MAYOR
and fifteen councilmen, three from
each ward, also provides that ssThe
mayor shall be chosen by the quail.
fed voters Of their respective cities.
and the eouncilmen shall be chosen
by the qualified voters Of their
respective wards" The court now
rules that the officers shall be as
designated by this law, but in a
former decision it ruled that they
must not be elected in the manner
prescribed, until the city in which
they are tSserve has been re-incor-
porated under this act.
In the former case the Ogden
Liberals" did not want the cleo
ton conducted under the Provisions
Of the new law, because they would
be fatal 10 the plot to steal the CITY.
They gained their point. The de
cision We believed to be wrong. We
believe 50 still. Now the Liberals,
Of this city want the provisions Of
the new law to be operative for the
approaching eiection because, 50
far as it relates to the officers to be
it suits the scheme rhev
have IN Operation. And Hsy have
gained their point. On the poipt
-uled upon by the court, the decis-
on appears to be sound, taken by
tself. But when viewed in the !
ight Of the former decision it is en-
irely out Of joint.
If both decisions stand. rs va
1pPose they DO and will, until tbe
primer decision is reversed, the
lumber and kind of officers TO he
lected are those named in the new
Nv, and the manner of electiuc
lem will be that provided under
he old law or charter. This is a
1T ofjudicial tumble. but We are
seOHnug accustomed to that kind
thing in Utah.
There is considerable query rs 10
by it is that the party of fraud
ID political chicanery manage to
t affairs shaped to dove-taiI with
cir nefariOus schemes. And tbare
e many who express great disgust ,
the peculiar doings of judicial {
liberties. We DO not believe that
e result of this election win be
fously affected by this judicial !
Iddle.

SINGULAR LOGIC.

IL the Third District Court Of
: Monday, JudgeAnderson Delivers
a decision involving the heirship o
Legitimate offspring. 1t appeared
5 ia full in the NEWS. The claim Of
! George II. Cope, son Of the lat
Thomas Cope, deceased, by plural
T wife, to 4 share in the distribution
Of the residue OF the estate, was
opposed by Janet Cope aud Thomas
II. Cope, lawful wife and son OF
deeedeDt.
The decision is adverse to the
claimant George II. Cope. The
ground on which the opinion is
based is, that the Territorial
statute which confers- the status
OF heirhip upon the children Of
male decedent, without regard to
their being born in lawful wedlock
or not, or as to whether the father
did or Gid not recognize them in life,
is invalid.
According to the judge the annul-
ment was produced by the Con-
gressional anti-polygamy law of
1852, because the latter invalidated
all laws that encouraged polygsmy.
It Is set forth in the ruling that the
Territorial statute, in establishing
the heirship Of Legitimate chill |
dren, did encourage polygamy.
Judge Anderson seems to have |
completely overlooked the fact that |
Congress enacted, in March, 1SS2, |
what is knownas the Edmunds Act.
1t was aimed expressly against po-
iygamy, having been framed ami
passed for It's suppression. 1t is in
point to here quote from 1t the fol-
lowing section:
SECTION :. That the issue Of biga.
nous or polygamOus marriages, known
as Mormon marriages, in cases in
which such marriages have been SOL
smnized according to the ceremonies
II the Mormon sect, in any Territory OF
he United States, and such issue shall
ave been born before the first day Of
January, Ammo Domini eighteen hun
lred and eighty-three, are hereby le. I,
,itimated.
There are two points worthy Of
tote connected with the de-
'ision in question. 1t conflicts with
he Edmunds law, because. accord. 4,
ng to that measure, which Judge
anderson has ignored, George H.
jope, born long before Jan. LIST.
SSS, stands legally before the world
5 the legitimate son OF his father !
o declare that legitimate issue of
deeedent is not an heir to HE e.tate j
a judicial absurdIty. -. /
Referring again to the position ;
rat the Territorial statute in ques- ;
Oh encouraged polygamy, accord \
lg to Judge Anderson's logic, so t
$50 does the The Edmunds Con-
ressional anti-polygamy law. This y
another judicial absurdity.
