We took what is called the new route

He had it direct from two aged kanakas
who witnessed the killing. 1t seems that

with high hand for awhile two par
ties formed. One said he was Lono, the

A PowERLEss COMMITTEES,

Whatever the good intentions of some
members of the council may be to
thoroughly investigate the charges
made against eX-AId. Franklin, it is
manifest to the most cursory observer
that It's inception was for the purpose
Of acquittal.
In the first place Mr.. Frank
lin is no longer member of tue
council, and that body can
no more, legally, investigate his
conduct. than they can that of any other
citizen. In fact, Assemblyman Light
ner, one of the prominent attorneys of
the city, conceded last night that the
Joint committee had no power to compel
the attendance of witnesses, or to COM
pei them to respond if present.
The bombastic stump speech, hen
oraIory of Counselor aTownley shows
conclusively that he has been en-
ployed by his client to throw dust in
the eyes of the public by his fam
faronade. His demand for an inyestiga-
ton, coupled with threats that other
hearts would ache; that If his client was
guilty others must be equally so, was
merely the swash of a cunning attorney
for the purpose of intimidating wit
neSSes.
1t is not question of bribery, but of
an official levYing tribute upon public
officers i'll return for doing or failing TO
do an Official act. One man can be
guilty OF blackmail. The person upon
whom the levy is made may be foolish
to submit, but his submission is not a
legal Offense Oh his part.
If parties went to Mr.. Franklin and
offered TO bride him. that should be de.
veloped, and then the able legal hen ar
gament of MIR. Townley will come in
play. So far that is not the charge. ana
when two hens appear upon the scene
it will be time 10 consider that situa-
ton.

THE BOND ISSUE.

Secretary Carlisle has decided that he
is authorized by the act of 1875 TO issue
bonds 10 maintain the greenback re-
dempti0n fund. which has been reduced
by redemption of silver notes and the
pay ment Of operating expenses far be-
low the amount set aside for that pur-
pose.
The opinions known to be held by the
secretary make IL certain that he has
yielded his Judgment in this matter
either to imperiouS circumstances or to
superior authority. He has shared the
opinion held by the major part of the
party, and paramount among the Demo-
cratic representativeS-that no bonds
should be issued.
1t is known that there has been a con-
slant pressure eInanating from interests
OF which Wall street is the incarnation
upon the administration for the issue of
bonds. 1t bore SO hard on the Harrison
administration that Secretary Foster
had the plates for printing the bonds
prepared and arrangements for floating
them made. There is a great amount
of boarded money hunting safeinveSt-
ment, aud none is so safe az federal
bonds. Then the national banking in
terests wish more to extend the use OF
the money which has accumulated in
their vaults, for which investment must
be found.
The GLOBE has opposed this policy,
and it is not content TO accept it HOW. 1t
believes that 1t is not necessary; that
other and cheaper methods are at the
command Of the government. Mr.. At
kinson suggested one in the issue of
certificates of debt, payable in one or
two years, for the payment of that
portion OF each pension allowance which
represented the arrears of pension. We
believe it would be better far to issue
greenbackS redeemable in payment of
taxes or TO use the silver bullion paid
for by treasury notes redeemed and re-
issued; and we are clear that it is not
good policy to mortgage the revenues
for ten years to these bonds until every
other possible method had been tried
and failed. We agree with Benton Nc
Miliin that party which in one admin
istration redeemed the bonds at a
premium of nearly thirty per cent
should not, in its next. issue more
bonds.
Another serious question is the legal
ity of the Issue. There have been grave
doubts of this.and lawyers aid the legal
advisers of the treasury have been di-
vided on it. The gold fund was set
aside solely for the redemption of green
backs. 1t has been depleted in part to
pay running expenses; treated as avail
able assets of the treasury. 1t is ques-
tionable if bonds can be issued to any
further extent than to replace the gold
paid out for redemption purposes.
Prior to the stoppage of the retirement
of the greenbacks by the act of 1878.
some $50, 100000 of the fund had been
used in redemption, IL S64.OOO,000 re-
main, it is all that is needed to satisfy
the object for which the funa was
created. 1t is evident that the issue OF
the bonds has been decided on under
the doubtful authority of the act of 1873
because there has developed an opposi-
ton in the house which would render
the passage Of a bond bill impossible.

INFAMOUS INSANITY Law.

As bearing upon the infamous law of
Minnesota touching the rights of per-
sons accused of insanity, the case of
Mrs. Blaisdell, recently on hearing be-
fore the supreme court, and reported in
the GLOBE of yesterday, may be cited.
Mrs. Blaisdell was committed to the in
sane asylum at Fergus Falls under the
provisions of the law, which, it will be
borne in mind, gives to commission of
two physicians power to conduct an ex-
parte examination of the person accused.
and, without giving that person an op-
portunity Of defense. commit him or her
to an asylum. The judge of the court
has no authority under the law to reject
absolutely the report of the commission,
for he is not permitted to hear or con-
slider the testimony upon which it may
be based. If he has good reason to sus-
pect that undue influences have been
employed, he may appoint second COM
mission, whose report shall be final; and
here his rights and responsibilities
cease.
The law of 1893, under which Mrs.
Blaisdell was committed, was not called
in question when the casa was brought
on appeal to the supreme court. The
commitment was made under the pre-
yiously existing law, although the proc
esses employed we're those autho rized
blythe later statute. In the present ac-
ton, however. the constitutionality of
the law is directly raised, and this will
be the Issue that the decision will be
based upon.
