EMPIRICAL FINANCE.

Mr. John p. Irish has rescued few
shorthand notes of speech made by him
self before the Mississippi Congress
and preserved them in type. Mr.. Irish at
the time is said to have believed that he
was replying to a free-coinage speech of
Senator Stewart. but the notes snatched
from oblivion do not warrant such be-
lief. Mr.. Irish was simply talking about
what he termed empirical finance"
There is in fact but one pro-silver argu-
ment. All the speeches that have been
made on the silver issue rest on the
proposition that as in the course of GEN.
turies something like So. 800, 100000 of
silver have been coined and been made to
serve with the same amount OF gold as the
metallic base of the worlds currency, the
demonetzation of silver would cause such
contraction Of the stock of money which
has served as measure Of value for all
commodities that it would necessitato
readJustment of silver. The quantities of
commodities remaining practically the
same. If the measure of value is reduced
by one half, prices must fall correspond
ingly. The industrial world might not be
greatly harmed by the fall in prices if the
business world was to begin anew.
But the business world has to take things
as it finds them. There are creditors and
debtors. The fact that most people are
both does not forbid the Classification.
For every dollar of indebtedness there is
creditor. In view of this fact the principle
in fin ance that should always be kent in
view is the maintenance OF prices. The
debtor does not want to pay in kind of
money more valuable than that which
existed when he contracted his debt. On
the other hand. the creditor, unless he is a
designing rascal, does not want the debt
paid in a kind Of money more valuable
than that which he loaned. But 1t is SIM
ply an arithmetlcal proposition that the
demonstration of silver must increase the
purchasing power of money. A man
who says that it would not would deny
that two and two make four unless boy
was handy with a bag of marbles with
which to demonstrate the proposition.

WELCOME ARIZONA.

The Fresno Erpositor discovers In an
article in THE CALL, giving the reasons
for and against the admission of Arizona
into the Union, an opposition based upon
the apprehension that the State will send
two Democrats to the Senate. The article
referred to did not oppose the admission n
Of Arizona. On the contrary. it admitted
that the line Of precedents established the
right OF Territory to statehood as soon
as 1t can maintain State government.
The condition ID that its constitution should
not conflict with the Federal constitution.
The prospect Of two Democratic Senators
is not alarming. Influences are at work
which will restore the Senate to the Repub-
llcans whether Arizona contributes to the
Democratic strength or not.

The Nevada Bank Was Not Stock
holder in the Company.
A decision was rendered Yesterday by
the Supreme Court in the case of Agnes
Borland VS.. the Nevada Bank of San
Francisco.
This was suit brought by Mrs. Borland
as executrix of the will of Archibald Bor-
land to recover from the bank as a stock
holder in the Wyoming and Dakota Water
Company certain mon eys alleged to be due
as a propertionate liability incurred by
the company. Judgment was rendered for
the plaintiff In the Superior Court for the
sum of 71,469 81. From this decision the
bank appealed.
The bank became holder OF the stock in
this way: The shares in the Wyoming
Company were transferred from August
Hemme to James Flood. vice-president Of
the Nevada Bank, as security for ad-
vances, and the question in dispute was as
10 whether or not the bank was thus con-
situated a shareholder.
The Supreme Court held that the bank
held these shares merely as security for
money loaned, and that the decision of the
lower court must be reversed and new
trial ordered,

IN FAVOR OF COX.
McLaughlin's Slayer in
the Supreme Court.
Decided That Attorney Delmas COL
lected Certain Moneys He Must
Account For.

The Supreme Court has affirmed the
judgment of the Superior Court in the suit
Of Jerome B. Cox VS.. d. NJ. Delmas.
This was an action to recover q certain
sum of money alleged to have been col
lected by defendant as attorney for the
plaintiff. The case was tried with jury
and judgment was rendered for plaintiff
for little less than the amount sued for.
Defendant appealed from the judgment
and from an order denying new trial.
The main features of the case were
these: Prior to May. 1883. Cox had been
engaged in long litigation in the suit of
Cox VS.. Mclaughlin. This was suit
for work done and materials furnished for
a certain railroad. In 1888 Delmas was
EMPLOYED by Cox as one of his attorneys
In conducting the suit and was to receive
as compensation fer his services 10 per
cent of the judgment received. The case
was settled in 1888.
Prior to Delmas' engagement Cox had
recovered Judgment in the trial court
against Mclaughlin, which was afterward
reversed in the appellate court; and ssome
creditors of Cox had levied execution on
the Judgment and the same had been sold
to Michael Reese, since deceased. After
ward Cox had assigned to Reese S25. 900 of
his claim against Mclaughlin for the pur
pose of securing Reese for the money ad-
yanced for his purchase of the judgment
and rights of action.
Judgment in the case of Cox VS.. Nc
Laughlin was rendered on October 81, 1883.
for SOS, 22S, with legal interest from June,
1856; and on May q. 1888. the judgment
was paid in the Office of Delmas. or this
Cox received S63. 900 and Delmas $47, 600.
This amount retained by Delmas included
his own fee of 10 per cent OF the judgment
and also the S25, 600 and the fee Of 10 per
cent due to Attorney Cobb, who was pre-
viously employed. and which had been as
signed to Reese.
BY the judgment of the Superior Court
Delmas was allowed his fee of 10 per cent,
and the amount which he had expended
for the purchase of the Reese claims with
interest thereon until date of settlement.
and judgment was rendered for plaintiff
for the balance of the said $47,000 The
Jury found that at the time of the payment
of the judgment in tho case of Cox VS.. Nc
Laughlin, the money in contest in the case
at bar was paid to Delmas as attorney for
Cox.
Delmas appealed from the judgment
upon technical grounds, the chief point
being that the complaint did not state facts
sufficient to constitute cause OF action !;
and that the defects are such as could not
be cured by the verdict. or by anything
that appeared at the trial.
The Supreme Court found that there was
a great conflict among authorities bearing
on the case, but that the court on the whole
had not erred in fixing the amount of the
judgment according to the special verdict,
and that there Was no valid reason for dis
turbing the judgment.

A RULE WITHOUT EXCEPTIONS
The Santa Rosa Record saws:

The Santa Rosa RecOrd says:
Whether Mike de Young gets the senatorship
or not he is just now finding lots Of ammunition
to fill up his pigeon-boles with aud 10 fire at
some of the men in the Republican party who
do not want the State re presented In the United
States Senate by such as he when the time
comes. But De Young can do less harm to the
party fighting 1t than lis appointment to the
Senate would do.
The impression in this city is that NJ. II.
de Young cannot harm the Republican
party by fighting it. The desire is often
expressed by Republican leaders that he
would take himself and his personal organ
10 the Democratic or some other party.
The rule has seldom failed in this coun try
that when newspaper proprietor uses his
paper to advance his own claims to Office
both paper and proprietor fall into the

BAD WATER AND POLITICS.

The connection between politics and
bad water Is not obvious in theory, but in
practice the association may be intimate.
New York is troubled about its Croton
supply at most inopportune moment. It
Is prom ounced suspicious, if not pesitiyelv
foul and dangerous. This should be an
affair Tor the engineers. but then the tax
payer has to foot the bills, and some ad-
ministration has to pass upon the accounts.
So Croton water is under the thumb of
politics. and the Morning Advertiser of
New York hits off the situation sugges-
lively in a drawing Of glass labeled

port themselves as wriggling creatures the
queerest possible assemblage of aquarium
curioslties. Politics is an eel with wolfish

A MILLION IN GOLD.

There Is good deal of talk about the
promised revival in gold mining. 1t is
supposed that the output of gold may be
increased materially. While it is desirable
that all the gold shall be taken out Of the
ground that can be without injury to other
Interests. it is we'll to remember that there
is more than one way to make gold plenty.
AT the present time we send the bulk of
the $13, ,000,00 of gold we produce annually
to Atlantic cities and Europe to pay for
goods that might be made In this country.
A manufacturing firm which supplies home
goods to the amount of one million dollars
in place of imported goods does as much
for the State as if they had taken million
in gold out of the ground.

VICTORY FOR THE CITY.
The Legislature Cannot Order the
City to Give AWAY Public Moneys.


City to Give Away Public Moneys.
The Supreme Court rendered an import
ant decision in the case Of Conlin against
the Board of Supervisors yesterday.
By an act of the Legislature passed in
1891 John F. Conlin. orOhis assgnees. was
awarded sum of $54.015 81 due him for
street work performed. In accordance
with this act Conln demanded the money
from the Board of Supervisors, but pay
ment was refused. Then Conlin filed suit
in the Superior Court to recover the money.
To this suit the Supervisors filed answer.
mentioning certain matters alleged to be
the basis of the action Of the Legislature
in passing the act. and pleaded that by
virtue thereof the act was in contraventioD
of certain provisions of the constitution.
Plaintiff demurred to this answer. but his
demurrer was overrnled. The Superior
Court. however, decided that the act of
the Legislature hust stand. and gave 1udR-
ment in favor of the plaintiff for the
amount claimed. From this decision the
Board of Supervisors appealed.
The Supreme Court in reversing the de-
cision of the court below said shat In pass
ing upon the constitutionalty of statute
the court must confine itself to consider
rion of those matters which appear upon
the face of the laW<~and those facts of
which it can take judicial notice. The
Legislature held the public moneys in trust
for public purposes.
1t was shown that the contracts under
which the work was done contained the
provision that the city should not be held
responsible for any portion of the expense
of performance of such contract, or the
delinquency of persons assessed. The Su-
prsme Court held that the act of the Legis-
iature took the form of gift. and that the
Legislature had no more right to direct
municipality to give away public moneys
in its treasury than had the municipality.
without its direction. The judgment of
the court below was. therefore, reversed.
and new rial ordered.

Valuable Bric.a.Brac.

Judge Murphy yesterday rendered de-
cision in the case of Levy vs.. Levy, which
has been hanging fire in the courts for the
past six months.
The parties were divorced some time
ago, and it was agreed that the commun-
ity property should he shared equally.
The wife, however. claimed as her own
separate property some bric-a-brac, valued
at upward OF $1,000, which she said her
husband had given her as presents and for
her own separate use and enjoyment.
The husband, however, contested the

Judge Murphy decided in favor of the
wife.
