IS THE BOND ISSUE LEGAL =?

A correspondent has submitted to THE
CALL a long and able argument assailing
the legality of an issue of bonds by the
Secretary of the Treasury in the absence
of direct authority from Congress. The
debates In the constitutional convention
over the propos ition TO auth oriZe Congress
to emit bills of credit are quoted at length
to show what views were held by eminent
members of that body. The position taken
by our correspondent, while possibly sound
from the point of view he keeps before
him, has been turned by decisions of the
Supreme Court and acts of Congress-
The present Congress acts in the light of
the decisions and precedents established
by the law-making powers. Our CORE
sD0ndent says:
The special fund which the Secretary now
seeks to replepish by borrowing gold coin was
set apart by Congress for the payment of a
debt maniiestly unconstitutional, and the pay
ment of which is unquestionably the result Of
judicial legislation.
The constitutonality of the legal-tender
issue is not under discussion. The issue
was authorized by Congress. the Supreme
Court has declared the law constitutional
and thus removed the question from cur
rent politics until another liz depreciation OF
the constitution has been given. Govern
meDt would practically cease if there was
not somewhere a power to give a binding
Interpretation TO disputed points of con-
stitutional law.
Authority for the proposed issue of
bonds Is found in the redemption act of
1875. When this act was passed il was
supposed that in 1879, when the redemp-
ton act should 90 into force, there might
be run on the treasury for coin. But
from 1879 TO this day there has been no
such run. The S100,000,OOO in the treasury
has been ample for all demands. Within
the last few months this fund has been
drawn upon to the extent of one-third of
the whole amount. The amount of green
backs outstanding is unchanged. The pro-
gress of depicting the treasury is still
going on. Leaving out of con sideration
bubbles as TO disputed points that have
been at least temporarily settled, the
right Of the Secretary TO issue bonds in
accord with the terms of the act of 1875
would seem to be upassailable. The de-
pletion OF the fund set apart for REDEEM D.
ton purposes might prove a more vulner-
able point to assail than the neglect TO re-
plenish the depleted fund There would
certainly be nothing TO be gained by let
ting the redemption fund run so low that
the presentation of few millions of
greenbacks would force suspension of
specie payment. But the bond issue must

A BAD DAYS WORK.

1t takes a man half lifetime to estab-
lish reputation that inclines the body Of
the people to believe in him, When this
reputation is established his day of use
fulness begins. When such a man takes a
position people who had been inclined an
other way review their bearings. They do
not surrender convictions to any man, but
opinions are held in allegiance when op-
posed by judgment they have confidence
in. 1t is of the last importance therefore
that the high places in the Government
should be filled by men who have the con-
idence Of the people. Especially is this
true Of the Supreme Court of the United
States, tribunal which holds both the
executive and legislative branches of the
Government by hooks of steel. Nothing
is law that tile Supreme Court says is not
law. The Presidents signature to an act
does not give it vitality if the Supreme
Court declares that it conflicts with the
constitution. If Justice Brewer appre-
ciates the importance OF bis Office he will
resign. His presence on the bench tain IS
the entire body OF Justices. AS chain is
not stronger than the weakest link, SUI
preme Court decision that may be de-
termined by one vote is no better than the
weakest man upon it. Mr.. Brewer will
not live long enough to recover from the
blow he inflicted upon himself at the Yale
banquet. The little respect the people had
for him is gone. The only thing he can
do to raise himself in public estimation is

AGAINST THE PLEDGE.

School Director Rosewald is opposed to
Understanding and Is likewise opposed
to pledging children not to smoke cigar
cites. He lmagine s that scientific demon
stration of the evils of smoking will have
more lasting effect upon the average
small boy than the memory that he has
given a pledge not to smoke. Director
Rosewald is entitled to his opinion. 1t
may be in order 10 remark, however, that
scientific demonstration is pretty ancient
argument. 1t has been used on a good
many generations. 1t is also long time
since clergymen began to exhort their
hearers to give up all forms of vice. The
clergyman has a certain advantage over
the scientific demonstration in the fact
that he can extend the period Of punish
ment into future life. The pledge is an
aid to dem onstration and exhortaton. 1t
puts boy upon bis honor. If his school
teacher is at all fit for her work she has
made him comprehend the penalties of
breaking pledge soemnly given. 1t
would take many years of correct life to
recover a boy from the cloud the failure to
keep a pledge would cast upon him. Mr..
Rosewald 10 reported as saying that lads

AROUND THE CORRIDORS,

d. NJ. Egner, who Is connected with the New
York Department of Stale Prisons, is In the city
and In conversation yesterday in the Palace
gave some interesting figures relative TO the
employment Of convict LABOR in road building
in New York. The greatest item OF expense,
be said, is hat occasioned by escaping prison
ers. When a convict is taken out to work on
the roads and gets away every effort is, OF
course, made to recapture him and the expense
incurred Is sometimes heavy. This is charged
TO The road building fund. The State last year
saved about SIS. 600 in The building of prisons
by the use OF convict labor. The kinds of labor
in which coDvlcis may be employed by the
State has also been naturally restricted, but
the working Of them on roads has so far met
with the appreciation OF almost the entire pub
lie. The average cost OF maintenance of pris-
oners III New York State was S137 o. last

HOME RULE AND POLITICAL
STRATEGY.

1t is not at all impro bable that the To-
ries and Liberal Unionists of England are
plotting to dish Mr.. Gladstone by intro
ducing hOme-Tule scheme of their own.
Some measure of autonomous government
for Ireland is seen to be inevitable. and
political strategy requires that tine rival
concession should be made in different
form from that which the Liberals have
advocated. Wemyss Reds paper, The
Speaker. seems to have got hold of the de-
tails OF the plot and presented the savOry
mess for the digestion of the public. After
the irritation and scorn for such tergiver-
sation have passed away, the English habit
of compromise will come into play and may
settle the whole question on the basis of
federation. England and Scotland also
stand in need of elf-gOvernment because
as things are their local affairs are sadly
mangled and mismanaged through the im-
perlal Parliament having too much bust
ness. Provided Ireland has a Parliament
of her own for strictly national affairs. she
would not be concerned at similar rights

after having been assured by the ex-Queen
that she intended to cut off the heads of

justified in sending Willis home when the
latter asked him to retire in favor of the
ex-Queen. The Hawaiian President was
restrained doubtless by his regard for the
American people and his desire to con-
tinue the friendly feeling already mani
tested toward his administration. But if
Willis pops up with any more offensive in

could tell what would happen.

templated when the act was passed. It
mu st he held that the Issue was postponed
from 1879, when it was assumed that il
might be necessary, to 1888, when il be-
came necessary. The kind Of money in
which the bonds were to be made payable
in 1879 must be the kind In which the con-
templated issue is made payable. OF

other matter altogether.
