Clemens New Story.
KANSAS UNIVERSITY.

A new story by G. G. Clemens, author
Of "The Dead Line" is what will be
given to the ADVOCATE readers very
soon.
While it will be sure-enough story,
it will give q peep behind the scenes
and enable the reader to see the schem-
ing Of the wealthy and the sristocrstic
men Of 17S6 to 1888 to secure the sdop-
tion Of the federal constitution in order
to get rid Of the liberty OF the common
people which had become dangerous to
the wealthy Americans of the eighteenth
century. The events Of the story will be
historically correct and drawn from an
extensive reading Of documents and cor
respondenCe Of the time.

due the United States as those Of pri-
vate nature"
Judge Belcom, Of the same court, ex.
pressed himself yet more broadly: "Con-
greSs mny enact that the notes Of the
United States shall 90 q legal tender in
payment Of debts and designate such
notes lawful money. The act is consti-
tutionRl. It makes the notes issued un-
der it as valuable as gold coin in the
hands Of every person receiving them,
for all commercial purposes and for the
payment Of all debts, except duties on
imports. I, of course, lay out Of view
the difference created by brokers and
speCulators between the value Of gold
coin and suoh notes. That difference is
not recognized by law. II sll cities
would strictly observe this law any per-
son could obtain IS in gold coin for one
Of these notes (for $5 where such coin is
to be had. The act Of congress
Of February 25, 1862, is not repugnant to
any provision Of the constitution, and iB
valid"
A third judge, Wright, held that the
"RCt is not in any OF it's features uncon-
Stitutional," while Judge Emott, to use
his own words, Commenced the exam
inGtion Of this question with serious
doubts Of the power Of congress- to pass
this law, and with Impressions adverse
to It's validity. Deliberate examination
has removed these doubts and give my
judgment with clear and unhesitsting
conviction of the power Of congress to
make government notes a legal tender,
as q pure question Of constitutional
law"
Judge Marvin said: "The thing called
money, the standard referred to in MAX
ing contracts, is simply means of Great
ing, stimulating and protecting com.
merce. + Congress may make
treasury notes receivable in payment Of
all public dues, and in payment Of all
debts, public and private"
Judge RosekrRns concurred with the
five judges above mentioned, but Chief
Justice Dennis and Judge Sslden dis
sented. Such was the reception Of the
act when it first was questioned in
court. Seven other states courts speed.
lly upheld its constitutionality in strong
terms. Two courts were less emphatic.
Two held it unconstitutional, one Of
which soon reversed itself.
The supreme court Of the United
States at first pronounced it unconstitu-
tion, but afterwards, in q series Of cases,
reversed it's former judgment and up
held the law.
