his honest Judgment. But the News
& Observer, ~ usual, mistatss the
question, either from ignorance or
from . desire to falsify and to mis-
represent 1t not only misstates the
question, but it goes beyond the
bounds Of decency, and charges that
the court was prompted by base mo-
tivss. We make the following ex-
tract:
THE public viii regard the denial of the
people TO have An investigation OF evidence
.DfRR: IN the Of 9,a si 1ss
through the mortgage law and other leg,sla'
ton that was desired by parties who were
willing to pay for it"
Farther on in the same editorial
the News & Observer says:
The mon partisan" judiciary refuses to
turn on the Light"
This is q disreputable and con-
temptible effort to prejudice the
court before the people. The court
has been 30 fair, able and mon
partisan" that every citizen in the
State has cause to be proud of it,
and it was to be hoped that
the News & Observer if it did
not have the manhood to commend
it, would at least have the decency
to be silent.
As We have said above, it has al
ready been decided by the Supreme
court of this State, by the Supreme
court Of the United States and by
the Supreme court of many states
that q court could not impeach the
record of a coordinate branch OF
the government.
To take another view Of the mat.
ter, let US suppose that Justice OF
the Peace should entertain suit ia
try title to land in which proceeding
perjury, bribery, fraud and other
such wrongs were alleged. The
court, without entering into the
question of the wrongs alleged,
would simply hold that JUS
tice of the Peace has no jurisdiction
to try title. and would therefore dis
miss the action. But how could the
Supreme court in the case of this
mortgage law have "turned on the
light" if it had decided differently
Every lawyer in the State knows
that Governor Carr made no effort
to turn on the light" HIS action
was not brought in a manner to find
out who committed the frard. No
one knowing anything about it was
made q party-no one authorized to
speak or answer for the legislature
or the officers was made a party
none Of the clerks of the legislature
were summoned, not even the lady
who admits that she copied the bill
80 it is the play of Hamlet with
Hamlet left out.
Everybody knows that the law
was fraud, but no one is now clam
oring against the law except those
who want to defraud their creditors
and those who want to take mort
cages. What the people want to
know is who the man or the person lis
who COMM tied the fraud, and the
people also want to know why the
real parties were not brought for
ward in the proceeding by Governor
Carr.

Judging from the extract from
the speech of Secretary Carlisle,
published elsewhere, it is difficult to
determine where he is at. Perhaps
he fsvors re-establishment of what
was called the "wild cat" State
banking system. He says the Unit.
ed States ought to get out of the
banking business. he is right that
far, but he doesn't say what ought
to take its place. The only thing
he know, about finance is gold and
bonds, and he says they are wrong.
What sort of q Secretary of the
Treasury is he anyway!
Are there any Populists in your

VENTION.
We have announced from time to
time the sound money! convention
scheduled to occur at Memphis on
May 23rd. It has occurred. The
dispatches state that there were near.
ly one thousand delegates present,
and that eight thousand people heard
the chief speaker of the occasion.
We surmise that these figures could
be split into without injustice to
facts; but we have nothing to do
with that.
Mr.: Carlisle, Secretary of the
Treasury, made the leading speech.
1t appears to be a mixture OF good
and bad. The bad part is a stub
born adherence to the theory that
this country cannot have bimetallism
Independent of Europe. He still
crlnges to the London Jew syndicates
and bankers. He told the finance
committee of Congress this year, that
this country "was at the mercy of
the bankers" and he seems to think
90 yet He talked The old twaddle
about a dollar buying more than
ever. He used some high sounding
phrases in support of the gold sand
ard, but no argument of strength.
He did not tell how silver was de-
monetized.
He asserted that the fall in prices
was not due to the appreciation of
gold and put the blame upon over
production and improvements in. the
methods of production.
He charged that if remonetizinp
of silver enabled debtors to more
easily meetItheir obligations, it would
not be an honest way of settling
their debts.
he did net tell about the thous-
ands of people who are suffering for
the necessaries Of life because there
ls no work for them, yet he spoke of
,overproduction.
He did not say the demonstration
OF silver doubled all debts at the
time and made it doubly hard to nav
them, but said remonetization
OF silver would enable debtors to
naore easily meet their obligations,
and this would be dishonest.
AS we are not producing the
speech In full. we are trying to be
accurate in stating the substance of
what he said; and the above is an

vanced by him in his address,
