IMPORTANT DECISIONS.

Tie United States Supreme Court has
made three important decisions within the
last few days. One is to the effect that the
so-called Dingley act, which v as passed by
House quorum Of whose members did
not vote. though quorum was present. il
valid. The court holds that the House had
right to adopt the rule under which the
quorum was counted. This indicates the
judgment Of ex-Speaker Reed, who was
mainly responsible for the adoption OF this
rule A second decision is that the Nc
kinley act is constitutional. As the consti-
nationality Of the act has been questioned
only AS to the suspension clause, which
authorizes the President to proclaim the
restoration Of duties in certain cases.
we assume that this suspension clause IS de-
clared constitutional. a third decision sus-
tains the American position in the Sayward
Boring Sea case This case was argued in
the Supreme Court some months ago and
there was an apprehension that the Ameri-
can position might not be sustained The
decision will clear away some of the OBJ
stacles in the way Of holding Illegal seal
hunting In check.

SILVER DEMONSTRATIONS.

A morning contemporary contends that
an act of Congress declaring the silver dol
lar legal tender for all debts, public and
private, did not Temonetize silver. That
journal says: "As we'll might one argue
that because the United States emitted legal
tender paper money all paper through that
act takes on a monetary quality" There
is no close relation between an act of Con-
gress declaring coin Of certain metal full
legal tender and an act making a Govern
ment promise to redeem paper money in
coin. In the one case the Government
creates money; in the other it provides tor
the redemption of certain kind of paper
currency. Ii our contemporary would bear
in mind the difference between money and
currency it would avoid such an error as
that pointed out. Despite the assertion OF
our contemporary. the act of Congress max
ing the silver dollar of 4l2n grains a legal
tender fer all amounts did rem0netize silver.
1t made it lawful for the Treasury Depart
ment TO pay all bonds and legal-tender cur
rency in silver. The Treasury Department,
however, did not avail itself of the power
granted it by Congress. 1t paid bonds in
gold and accumulated stock of gold
amounting TO S100OG 600 for the redemp-
ton of legal tenders. Thus the act IF Con-
gress by which silver was remonetiZed failed
of full effect But there has never been
time since when debt payable in coin in
the evidence of which no particular kind
of coin or commodity was specified might
net be legally paid in silver. Ii is true that
business to All extent followed the example
OF the Treasury Department. 1t became
tie custom in all financial centers 10 use
gold IN the settlement IF balances. OF late,
since the free-eoinage agitation has gained
Roadway. the stipulation has quite gener-
ally been made that payment should be
made in gold. But in all evidence of
Indebtedness in which such stipulation does
not appear, payment in silver is legal. The
act OF 1873. dropping the silver dollar from
the list OF American coins, certainly de-
monetized silver. After that date until
1878 there was no authority to coin silver
dollar that was full legal tender. Conse-
quently, silver ceased to BE-. in the full
sense of the term, money. But the silver
act OF 1878 authorized the coinage of stl-
yer dollar. ana declared it full legal
tender. Free coinage would add nothing TO
the legal-teuder quality of silver. 1t would
make more silver dollars, but would add
nothing TO their commercial or monetary
value. Currency payable in coin would be
paid In silver, but currency or bonds pay
able in gold would. unless the courts should
decide otherwise, be payable in gold coin.
The effect of free silver coinage would be
the general use of silver in business. The
United States would drop to the silver
basis. The difference between the com
mercial value OF gold and the commercial
value Of silver would be expressed by pre-
MUM on gold.

FLORIDA SENATORIAL ELECTIONS.

A dispatch from Washington says that
Senator Call will interrupt the regular order
on Tuesday to make some remarks on a res
oution providing for an inquiry into the
alleged interference Of railroad companies
with the Florida Senatorial elections. Cali
fornia can "shake" with Florida on other

been what candidate would best serve tho

term would find American wool-growers
producing all kinds of wool. The present
wool duties are not prohibitoTy. Our man.
ufacturers are consuming more wool than
ever, and if the American product is falling
off the imports must be increasing. The
assertion that the quality of American
wooden goods has deteriorated in recent
years is not borne out by reports OF dealers
IN such goods. Wooden cloths of American
make and Of better quality are now in the
market than ever before. We have been
assured by men in a position to know what
they were talking about that large pro-
portion Of the cloth sold in our market as
foreign is the product of American mills.
1t is known that mills in the East have,
since the Mckinley bill went into effect,
been supplied with machinery for quality
of cloth until recently imported exclusively.
Wool is not national product which can be
changed in respect to quality within year.
1t takes time TO improve the breed of sheep,
and to adopt new methods of treatment
With the threat Of free wool hanging over
our wool growers no experiments in this
direction can be expected.

FREE WOOL.

The majority report on the Springer wool
bib says: Only that amount of domestic
wool will be purchased and consumed which
is required 10 mix With foreign wool to pro-
dace the required quality and quantity of
goods to supply the home market" This
argument would have some weight if there
was any inherent difference in the quality
OF domestic and foreign wool. Difference
there is. but it is the result mainly of breed
and treatment. There is scarcely any
quality " kind Of wool that may not be
grown in this country. At present the I'M
eertainties attending the woOl-growing bust
ness tend TO check experiments. Ii wool is

THE THIRD PARTY.

From present appearance the National
PEOPLES party will divide the North and
leave the South solid. There is no prospect
that it will have sufficient strength in any
Southern State to threaten the supremacy
Of the Democratic party, but ii is quite
within the range Ct probability that it may
hold the balance Cf power in several North
err States. 1t is Of no use TO point out to
tie Peoples party leaders the fact that the
action they propose to take renders the
success OF the Democratic ticket much more
probable than it would be if the total vote
were divided between the two parties
They would answer that between the two
parties they had not much choice. While
the larger proportion Of their strength in the
Northwestern States was drawn from the
Republican party, many of these North
western Republicans were, while acting
with that party, inclined to fr, trade aud
free silver coinage. 1t is not TO be expected.
therefore. that regard for the welfare of the
Republican party will induce the leaders to
abandon the third party movement But as
the campaign proceeds issues are pretty GER
tain TO arise which will bring these North
western Republicans back to their old
party. The m0nstrous measures which are
proposed in the House in respect to war
claims will set wandering Republicans to
thinking. We do not think that the body of
tie Northern people are ready to admit that
the fact OF loyalty or disloyafty during the
war should be eliminated from the list OF
conditions uDon which war claims shall be
paid. Neither VIII the proposition to be-
stow pensions on persons entitled by the
fact Of military service to such aid, without
reference TO the side the service was rem
dered on, be favorably received at the
North. But such measures are entertained.
They may not be pushed through the House
at the present session. but will be found
among the mass Of unfinished business
which viii come uD after the election. if.
through the action Of the third party. a
Democratic President shall be elected.

A5iERIC law.

The controversy between Mr.. Chamber
lain and Mr.. Bryce IN respect 10 American
constitutional law does net indicate a rapid
advance in acquaintance Of American affairs
on the part of eminent Englishmen. Both
Mr.. Chamberlain and Mr.. Bryce have some
claim to more than ordinary knowledge of
the constitution, laws and customs of the
American people. And yet we find these
two eminent men debating as to the ex-
istence Of judicial tribunal in the United
States with authority 10 determine whether
acts Of Congress are in harmony with the
constitution and to annul them if they are
not There have been so many notable
instances of the exercise of this ROVER
by the Supreme Court of the United
States that one can hardly conceive how
men who have given more than an Oc-
caSi0nal glance at American affairs should
be in doubt on this point. And Vet we find
Mr.. Bryce reported as saying that mo
American has power 10 deal with the
action of any Legislature at all" Ger
tainly no American has such power, but
courts composed of American citizens have.
And there are as many State Supreme
Courts as there are States which have the
power TO annul any action of the Legs
lature of their own State which they con-
slider in conflict with the State constitution.
Possibly Mr.. Chamberlain and Mr. Bryce
get their idea of the power of the Supreme
Court from the action OF the retro judicial
body known as the Electoral Commission.
which declared Mr.. Hayes 10 have been

sitions recently made to submit inter
national questions to the Supreme Court.
notably in the matter OF the Bering Sea

from the Baltimore affair in Valparaiso,
have misled Mr.. Bryce and Mr.. Chamber
lain as to the real power Of our Federal
