The Silver Brick Case.

The Supreme Court of the District
Of Colombia has rendered decision on the
application OF AIerrick, Morse, ct al, for a
writ of mandamus to compel the secretary
Of the treasury to coin into silver dollars
all silver bullion presented at the various
United States mints. The plaintiffs claim
that it was their right under the constitu-
tion and existing statutes to have their
silver and gold coined into money.
The court denied the writ prayed for on
the ground that the acts of 1897 and 1872,
which authorized the coinage of silver into
standard dollars when presented at the
mints, were, in effect, repealed by the act
of ISIS. which authorized the government
10 go into the market and buy silver to be
coined into silver dollars at the rate of
&, COO, goo per month. The court further
decided If the applicants were entitled TO
have silver coined and reduced TO money
that the secretary of the treasury was not
the proper person against whom to ask the
court to issue writ Of mandamus.
The chief justice coincided with the con-
clusions of ths court and stated that so far
as he knew, until the beginning OF the
present proceedings, the act of 1873 known
az the Bland law, had never been held to
establish free coinage.

WHEN men help each other in chari-
ty the help is always Inadequate. The
charity which gives aims can never do
anything but supply present and press
irg need. leaving the person helped
70 more able at best to help himself
shan he was before. This is obviously
true, and since it is SO it is equally
obvious that the worlds want and suf-
fering can never be much helped by
the building of hospitals, alms houses
and other institutions where the indi-
gent can be cared for without earning
help. Nothing that individual or state
charity. even on the most extensive
SCALE can do for the needy will ever
do more than take away the need of a
comparatively few individuals. and
that only for time This is stated

EXCITEMENT IN OKLAHOMA.
Jumping Lots in the New Town of ei
Reno.

The past forty-eight hours have
witnessed scenes of wild excitement at FL
Reno, which outrival anything ever seen
in the territory. The town is built upon
the claim OF Major Freeman, all the resi-
dents Of the place having bought their lots
Of him; so, when Secretary Noble decided
Saturday that Freeman's title to his claim
was void, it left every piece of property IN
town at the mercy of vnndais, for nobody
had any valid title to the property.
The news of the decision did not reach
e Reno until Monday, but when it did get
there the town went wild. First the Loaf
ers began jumping lots, then others foI-
lowed suit and soon all business was sus-
pended. The courts officers rushed from
their Offices and Joined the mob, which, by
nightfan had become wild and unruly
Governor Seay telegraphed the snerir
and other officers to disperse the crowds
and protect the property, but they dld
nothing.
On Tuesday affairs took more serious
turn. Houses were broken into, people
were driven from their homes and every
thing possible was done to drive the order
ly element out and give the Jumpers pos
session of all the property in town Many
citizens te,egraped 10 Governor Seay that
their property was being destroyed and
their lives endangered, and demanding
that troops be sent 10 protect them
United States Marshal Grimes has or
dered ell his deputies to the scene 10
protect the people aud Secretary Noble
has been wired as to the condition Of al
fairs and will doubtless order troops from
Fort Reno TO proceed to the scene Of dis
order. The feeling at FL Reno is running
very high and trouble is likely to occur AT
any moment, as the lot-jumpers have been
joined by the worst element from all tho
country around.
Governor Seay says the lives OF the
orderly people and their property must be
protected and has issued orders according
ly. The lot-iumpers will gain nothing in
the end as the property-holders who have
improved their property will get their titles
regardless OF the possession now claimed
by the jumpers.

A Higher Birth Rate.

New York is quite proud of the
discovery that for the first time in
its history its births exceed its
deaths. There have been 46,9O4
births there during the past year
and 1869 deaths, an excess of
the former of 1915. This is q ra-
Their slow rate of increase, and it
would take nearly five centuries
for New York to double it's popu-
lation by natural growth and with
out immigration; still it is an i'm
provement. Hitherto the deaths
in that city have always outnum-
bered the births, and the town
would be falling of in population
but for immigration.
The improvement is due not to
any reduction IN the death rate,
which is large-the largestin this
country except that Of New Or
leans-but to the extraordinary
increase in the number of births,
which are 1884 more numerous, or
nearly 90 per cent grcather than
in 1891.
The increase is easily explained
by the cheaper clothing, cheaper
food and cheaper house rent
which prevails in New York to-
day as compared with 1891. 1t is
we'll known that all these condi-
tions have a natural effect in in
creasing the birth rate; but the
effect they have had in New York
has been more sudden and greater
than We had reason to expect.
