THE STLTER BRICK CASE.
Judge Wilson Argues In Favor of the Free
Coinage of Silver.

WASHINGTON. ID. c.. Feb. 4.-Hon. H. Will
son made an argument before the Supreme
Court Of the District to-day in the case Of
Harley S. Morse. Of Colorado. who presented
a silver brick containing 100 ounces at the
mint at Philadelphia and demanded that 1t be
coined. The superintendent Of the mint de-
clined to do 50 on the grounds that there was
no law authorizing this 10 be done. The dl-
rector of the mint being appealed TO- also re-
fused 10 coin the silver into dollars pointing
ont the act Of Congress which limits the pu--
chase of silver 10 100000 ounces month
\ writ OF mandamus was refused by Judge
Of the District Court. and the case came up
for argument in the District Supreme Court
to-day.
In his argument this morning Judge Wilson
held that the act Of 1915, which limits silver
coinage, is unconstitutional. At the time OF
the adopting of the Constitution the existing
conditions made gold and silver equal money.
Nothing can be found. he said IN all the
debates and writings of that period that IN
the most remote way indicates that any
thing but the free coinage OF silver was
thought Of by anybody. but on the contrary
every expression from every source was a
clear recognition that the people were T. have
as they then had the right 10 the UNRESTRICTED
use Of gold and silver rs money and the iree
and unlimited coinage OF both OF them as
money.
Judge Wilson argued that If II IS IN the
mower Of Congress to diminish silver because
silver and gold coins alone were recognized
by the comm % law the writ prayed for should
be granted. He said. 10 is lot within the dis
creti0n of the Secretary Of the Treasury nor
has he any right 90 exercise his Judgment IN
rorard 20 the coinage of silver. The case was
submitted and decision reserved.

THAT LOTTERY LETTER.
IsTHE GREAT ETIL ENDED ATLAST?
What the Two Leading Papers Say on the
subject-No Longer Any Cause for
Split In the Democratic Party.

NEw ORLEANS, Ls.. Feb. $50 far as can
be learned the anti-lottery party in this city IS
hardly inclined TO accept the letter Of Mr.
Morris as a bona fide withdrawal OF the lot
terry proposition.
The idea is entertained by some that
further effort for a continuance of the lottery
may lie made by using its influence to have
constitutional convention concluded and TO
have lottery charter inserted in the new
Constitution.
The Picayune and dTimes-Democrat. lottery
papers," both consider the lottery controversy
as ended. and the following expression from
the Picayune is fairly representative OF the
views of those supporting the amendment and
the McEnery ticket:
with the lottery proposition out OF the
way all grounds for any dIscord III the Demo
cratic party of the state Will be removed.
The boilers will not have a log 20 SIT on and
the white Democracy will be able TO unite
again in support Of the regular Democratic
standard bearers and against the united OPP
position of the organized Republicans and OF
the mac0ntents and seli-seekers of the
Democrats who have been consorting with
them"
The Times Democrat says: But the reye-
nue. amendment is no longer before the peo-
pie Of Louisiana. and so there IS an end OF the
matter
