THE ONLY. :OLNEY.


The latest legal opinion of Attorney
General Olney on the Chinese merchant
case establishes the reputation of that Off
elal as technical lawyer The real point
under consideration was il a Chinese mer-
chant was required to establish the fact of
his assumed, standing. Olney had ruleu
that proof was required of Chinese claim
ing TO be merchants as condition upon
which they might avail them selves of the
privilege of going to China and returning.
which by the act of 1888 was denied TO
laborers of that Nationality The opinion
was so thoroughly in accord with the pur-
pose of existing laws that the public were
surprised that Attorney General Olney
should have stumbled upon it, It appears
also that the. opinion surprised himself.
AS soon as he recovered from his surprise
he made another ruling. to the effect that
the Geary registration act was the first
piece of legislation which made distnc-
tion between Chinese merchants and Chi
nese labDrers. It is only this act which
requires Chinese merchants to establish
their right to exercise the privilege ac-
corded 10 the merchant class. 1t is unfor-
tnnate that Mr.. Cleveland and his Cabne
will persist in keeping up the Chinese agi-
talon. The laws en- the statute-books
fairly Onstrued settle the whole question.
There is no occasion for new treaties, and
above all Tor opinions from the only Oiney.

STILL ANOTHER.

. Congressman Bryan of Nebraska has
another plan for the. construction OF the
Nicaragua canal. He proposes to so mix
up the canal with the monetary question
that perhaps oHe-third or. one-half the
friends of the canal will vote against it,
The Bryan proposition is to issue $780,
600 IN legal-tender notes to build the
canal with. Now, without reference to
the abstract proposition to issue non
inlerest-bearing notes in place of interest
bearing bonds. it. is certain that no bill
can be put through the present Congress
with the non-lnterest- bearing feature at
tached. Why thus pack the currency
scheme on bill which needs all the sup
port It can possibly get !? The interest on
bonds while the canal is being dug would
not amount 70 large. enough sum to cut
any figure in the practicability of the pro-
Ject. After the CANALS open il will pay
its own bonds, The only interruption in
such paymen is will be in the event OF war.
when it might be to the interest of the
United States: to suspend private traffic,

falling into hostile hands

Central American States with Mexico
would be more permanent settlement of
the question. Ii The five States should
form a political union the chances are
that one or two OF them would be in re-
bellion before the Government got into
good working order. The prizss Of sue
cess in a Central American rebellion are
alluring. The Governments are run on
the principle of meeting necessary eX-
penses and allowing the head Of the Gov
eminent to appropriate the remainder to
his own use. A dictator who cannot make
a million year for himself on that prin-
cple is not a success. Mexico in recent
years has become a stable power. The
Central Government is strong enough to
make uprisinEs in distant States danger
Gus. What the central States need is the
moral effect of sufficient controlling
power. This they would have as an inte-
grail part of the Mexican republic.

In anticipation of action by the Supreme

poses 10 stay with the bank until IL Is liquldated

HAS WOOL A CHANCE ?

Several Republican journals have called
upon the wool-growers to fix upon two or
three Democratic Senators from wool
growing. States with view to securing
their votes against the Senate tariff bill
unless: wool is given the measure of pro-
tection. that is accorded 10 coal, iron,
sugar and other raw materials which the
Wilson Bill put on the free list. A con-
: Temporary says:
The loss Of single Democratic vote is so
dreaded by the managers that almost any con-
cessioh' Mill b. made mat will insure the pas
sage of any Kind OF a. bill that Will differ in any
kinu~of way from the Mckinley bill.
Coal and iron. and sugar have made a
stand; Dem ocratic Senators from States
especially interested in the raw material
; industry have compelled the Senate TO put
them on The protected list by threatening
to vote against the Dill. This.may not be
good politics. but 1t is as good for wool as
for sugar The Senators in States in
which sugar. iron and lead are the prin-
cipal industries have obtained protection,
and there seems no reason why wool
should not secure a like favor. The
trouble is that the wool States have had
no one TO icok after their interests.

THE MISSOURI SILVER PLANK.

The platform adopted by the Democratic
convention in Missouri asserts that Con-
gresS has no rightful power to refuse the
people coinage of both metals. This plank
is based npon the provisions of the Fed
eral constitutlo n. which declares the
money of the United States 10 consist of
coin of gold and silver. 1t does not saw
gold or silver. There are prominent men
who contend that the law dropping silver
from the list of American coins was nm
constitutional. OF course this is a oues-
ton for the courts to pass upon. but
strong argument may be made in the affirm
alive. The constitution gives Congress
the power to regulate coinage, TO change
the ratio upon which gold and silver shall
be coined, but 1t does not give special au-
thority 20 select either as the basis of cur
rency. the money of ultimate redemption.
Ii was competent for Congress to increase
the amount of silver in a legal tender
silver dollar. or TO take any constitutional
measures to maintain the parity of the
money of the two metals, but in Withdraw
ing silver from use as money il NAV
have exceeded its authority. or course
popular conventions are not good au-
thorlty as 10 the consttulionality of laws
or'pollcles. There were great lawyers in
the convention which declared the policy
Of protection unconstitutional in the face of
the weil-known fact that the first Congress
IN which sat many members of the con-
vention that formed the constitution en-
acted protective tariff law. But Il Is
hardly worth while to take to the Su-
preme Court matter which the people
may decide for themselves. Whether or
not the act of 1873 was constitutional its
repeal will be constitutional. Whether q
bad law is knocked in the head by q court
decision or by popular action does not
much matter so that the blow does its in
tended work
