roo MANY LAWS.

Vhe point raised by Judge Jacobs in his
..st communication TO the Posr-TNrEL1I-
eEScgR as TO the intention of the state
constitution in limiting the operation of a
law to one subject, is of considerable inter
eat to lawyers. There may be difference
In the construction of the word subject"
~ used in the constitution, and "ohiect. /"
- used in the city charter. bat there is no
proof that difference of meaning was in
tended. It is true, as the corporation
counsel asserts, that there has been an ex-
cess Of caution on the part ofthe city coun-
eli ia keeping subjects Of ordinances sep
arate; but their caution arises from expert
snce With ordinance No. 500, which the
tadge il now remodeling. The conclusion
be arrives at, that law may deal with
different subjects in an ordinance having
she same object. is justified BY the expert
enee Of other communities where q penal
code and civil code have been adopted.
The present condition of the Seattle mu-
nscipsi laws offers the strongest iaduoe-
ment for some such symmetrical arrange
meet.
The ordinances Of the city, with the ex-
cspsion Of the old omnibus police bill. are
scattered and disiointed. Later ordi-
naEees, with specific object. have bfen
passed without due regard 10 the unity of
sAs Laws they we're intended 10 amend.

BANKING IN CHINA.

Probably, when they have read q recent
decision by a magistrate of Kinkiang,
China, American bankers who have been
thinking of establishing branches in that
country will change their minds. 1t seems
that a young Celestial, an inveterate
gambler, whose brother was a wealthy
banker. squandered his own means and
then forged number of notes of large de-
nominations, purporting to be notes of his
brothers bank, and put them in circu-
Iation.
When presented at the bank for redemp-
ton, being palpable counterfeits, payment
was of course refused. Then the infuriate
holders bombarded the establishment,
seized the manager and carried him before
a magistrate, who held that in appearance
the false notes were SO much like the
genuine as to deceive ordinary people,
and therefore the bank must honor
them, which has forced the bank to
suspend payment and go into liquidation.
The forger, on the other hand, has not
been prosecuted, but has been left an
molested in the enjoyment of his ill-gotten
gains. So it is made to appear that forg.
ing is quite an innocent amusement in
China, while banks are bound not only to
redeem their genuine notes, but also any
fairly clever limitations of them that may
be counterfeited. Banking on such condi'
tons would seem to be not by any means
a mild form of idiocy.

The clause repeating 'all ordinances and
parts of ordinances in conflict herewith, I"
has very frequently been enacted with no
concern for the language of former laws
and leaving it uncertain how much was
repealed.
1t is contended by some lawyers that
even the famous $500 would be sustained
on appeal to the supreme court, but no oc-
casion Of sufficient Importance has per-
haps arisen to justify the expense, and
the decisions of the inferior courts have
gone unquestioned.
Technical law may justify many Of the
subdivisions, but lawyers in general will
sustain the view taken by Judge Jacobs,
that narrow construction of the consti-
tuition or charter provisions would break
all statutes and ordinances into fragmen-
fary laws. Perspicuity and homogeneity
are particularly desirable in legal enact
raarts

CAUSES AND RESPONSIBILITY FOR
CRIME

1t may be admitted that the incorporate
use of intoxicants is largely responsible for
certain grades of crime. Particularly is
this true as to crimes committed on sud-
den impulse and in the heat of passion:
homicides, mayhem, bloody rows and all
manner of assaults upon the person. OF
murders, assaults and battery and the like
an overwhelming proportion are no doubt
due to this cause. But while the intern.
perate habit may be connected with it, 1t is
not so clearly responsible for the class of
crimes that involve lying in wait, or cool
generalization, or deliberate planning and
the other forms of deepest diabolism.
OF those who constitute the persistently
depraved class, and who are recognized as
confirmed, professional criminals--the
stage robbers, highwaymen, footpads, bur-
glars. pickpockets and the like-it might be
difficult to make a correct or even an an
proximate estimate of the proportion who
are or are not incorporate. Their criminal
calling may lead 10 intemperance, or in
temperance may lead 10 or confirm the
adoption Of the calling, but there is no
clearly necessary connection between the
two.
II is believed that full and candid con-
sideration of the facts viii work most
unwelcome revelation in this respect. but
none the less one thar should be faced and
mastered 1t is believed that in the case

ity, of those who are following careers of
confirmed and deliberate crime, the re-
sponsiblity may be traced to neglect Of

wheatley, the secretary of the ST. Giles Qon-
dom Mission. recently found family of FIVE
small children huddled together in a small
room in Paddington in n state of utter destitu-
ton. Their mother. with a sixth child in her
arms, had just been sentenced to eighteen
months, and their father, an old offender, to a
longer term of penal servitude Investigation
revealed that both the grandfather and
grandmother were in prison, an uncle
was awaiting trial and an aunt had a
warrant out against her. Thus all the relatives
of these children were within the grasp of the
law Through Wheatleys discoveries and eff.
forts the children were taken charge of and pro-
vided with homes by his society. Years hence
it viii be interesting to note the comparative ef-
feet of heredity and the societys training on

New York the worlds Money Center

Henry Clews in North American Review.
One OF the things that have contributed in .
large degree to make London the great money
centre of the world has been the power OF the
few great banking houses at that metropolis,
such as the Barring Brothers, and others that
might be named, with connections all over the
world, to afford facilities through mercantile
credits for an interchange OF commodities,
London being the clearing house for the worlds
transactions. Prominently at the head Of these
great financial concerns was the house OF
Barring Brothers for more than q century. The
prestige of the Barings is gone, and the house
has lost that universal confidence which was
the mainstay of its greatness. 1t was considered
impregnable, but It Is hardly possible that II
will soon be able to inspire that feeling again.
The prestige of London as a reliable money
centre, to some extent, went with the fall OF
Barings. Where, then, can the financial world
look for a substituted Hardly TO the French
capital, owing to the unsavory memory Of the
copper syndicate, the Panama Canal fasco. and
other collapses of kindred nature. Frankfort
and Berlin are not big enough, though backed by
the powerful treasury of the Rothschilds. Mani
fest destiny would then seem to point to New
York az the great future clearing house of the
world.

DRY WOLF CIR EEK.

Far more development work is
going on in this camp than ever be-
fore, and strikes are being made
every few days and everything
points to a bright future for this dis
trict. The Dry Wolf Company | ave
compl eted their 100 foot shaft and
are prosecuting for the vein, which
they expect to encounter in about 80
feet. Nels. Jensen has driven $50
feet into the bowls of, mother earth
in his tunnel on the Blue lead. The
float from this vein runs high in gold.
MI. Jensen and others having had
assays of six and eight hundred
dollars. When Nels strikes this vein
he can doubtless have bacon with his
beans for time unlimited and he de-
serves success as he has had hard
rock and worked single handed part
of the time. Baker and Rason are
also in over $50 feet on the War
Horse tunnel; the float and vein
matter arc identical with the Moult-
ON mine at Neihart and in the same
formation; they are within ten or
fifteen feet of the lead by surface
measurement and will doubtless have
a bonanza. Every one is developing
his prospect as his means will allow.
Even our most noted wildcat men
are getting a gait on themselves and
stalking claims in view of replenish-
ing the empty demijohn. Lackey &

THE MINE.
The "HOrn Of Plenty' Getting
Ready to Yield Up Its Stores.

The Cornucopia will one day be
a household word. 1t is now fast as
suming the appearance of a fully
developed mine and words of a most
substantial nature are being raised
upon it's grounds. There is the mine
on which the Granite Mountain Com
pany not long since gave a bond
and which they voted 100000 to-
ward developement. Mr.. P. H. Don
ovan is the Superintendent Of the
works. He being absent on the day
we visited the place, we found avery
able informant in the person of Fore
man McDuffy. He is one of the nice
men of the country, and bears an *
pericnce in mining engineering
which dates back to years spent in
Virginia City New, and also in sup
crintcndencies of big works in Butte
City.
From him we learned the follow
ing: There are three locations being
worked at present. A tunnel on the
Albatross is so feet long; One on
the Cornucopia is 225 feet long;
both these are following good leads
of mineral. The shaft, also on the
Cornucopia, is 200 feet deep, 2-com.

planned to go up in a short time. 1t
