TOO Much Feeling.

The feeling displayed by Mr.. Justice Har-
Ian and Mr.. Justice White when they read
their dissenting opinions in the income tax
case. together with the sentiments they
expressed. has caused something of a.sen
sation throughout the country These
justices. one a democrat and the other
republican, seemed to have an idea that
they were engaged IN a hot political cam
paign. and that it was their duty to whoop
up their side of the question. Neither
their manner nor their language was in
keeping with the dignity and decorum of
the highest judicial tribunal of the coun-
try.
Mr.. Justice Harlan in imprisoned Ian
guage wanted to know III those in whose
behalf arguments are made that rest upon
favoritism by the law making power to
mere property and to particular sections
of the country are aware that they are
provoking contest which in some coun-
tries has swept away, in a tempest OF
frenzy and passion, existing social organ
ization and put in peril all that was dear
to friends of law and order"
about the very condition of affairs which
Mr. Justice Harlan pretends he would
avert. The suggestion thrown out by Mr.
Garter. one of the attorneys for the gov
eminent in the argument Of the case, that
the defeat of the income tax might lead
to widespread disturbance. found a lodge
ment in his mind apparently. The infer

| be wiser to cater to a socialistic sentiment
than to state the law as it is without re-
gard to any existing sentiment respecting
the issue before the court.
There is much more danger to the well
being of the country in Interpreting the
law SO as to satisfy what appears to be
a popular clamor than there is in inter-
preting it in accordance with reason. The
duty of court is to uphold the law. If
the law is wrong let the law-making power
amend or repeal it. No greater mistake
could be made than for the highest court
in the land. for the purpose of satisfying
a discontinued element of the people, to
declare constitutional a law that is not
constitutional. If the constitution is de-
liberately disregarded once precedent is
established for disregarding 1t frequently,
and ii would be disregarded until all re-
spect for the fundamental law was lost.
The opinion in which Mr. Justice Harlan
expressed his dissent was political rather
than judicial. and seems to justify the
question which is being asked. namely,
whether he isn't troubled by the buzzing

The silence or the republican leaders on
the silver question is causing comment.
Neither Harrison, Reed. Mckinley. Nor
ton nor Allison is saying a word in favor
OF either sound money or the free coinage
Of silver. When the friends Of any one Of
them Is asked why their favOrite does
not have something to say on one side or
other OF the great monetary question now
agitating the country. they invariably an
swer that his position is so well under
stood There is no need for him to say
anything. That probably is as good and
safe an answer as could be made under
the circumstances. but it conveys no in
formation. As a matter Of fact, nobody
knows exactly what the views Of any one
OF them on the silver question are.
The reason. probably. that they are ST.
lent is that they are waiting to see what
the sentiment Of their party is on that
question. The chairman Of the national
republican committee Is now in New York.
ana in an interview day or two ago he
declared that there are fifty-nine electoral
votes in the west that will be cast for the
presidential candidate who will pledge
himself to sign, in the event Of his election
to the presidency. any silver bill congress
might send him. Are the republican lead
ers afraid OF losing hfty-nine electoral
votes? Is 1t because of the fear Of losing
the hfty-nine delegates TO the national re-
publicaa convention who would represent
the fifty-nine electoral votes to which
Chairman Garter calls attention that pre-
vents the republican leaders from taking
a position on the silver question? It GER
tainly looks that way. These republican
leaders are looking out for themselves,
and not for the country.

Carlisle in the south.
From the Philadelphia Ledger Qnd).

Secretary Carlisles sound money tour
through the south should be of great bene-
fit in the direction of exposing the specious
arguments of the advocates of the free
coinage of silver. As Mr.. John II. Inman
of New fork clearly shows, the free coin
age of silver would be of advantage only
to the owners of silver bullion, while il
would be to the direct disadvantage of the
rest of the community. At the present
time the cause of honest money is not
menaced so much by the out-and-out free
coinage men as by the demagogues who
are prating Of their devotion to "bimetaI-
lism," but are carefully refraining from
explaining what they mean. Within the
ranks of the republican and democratic
parties are numerous smart politicians
who DO their utmost to carry water on
both shoulders. Silver they say is the poor
mans money, and, as a great American
product, Ii deserves protection. Therefore
they are the firm supporters of "bimetal-
ism" OF what sort of bimetallism? Free
coinage at the l6 to l ratio, or the 81 to J,
or the re-enactment of the forced pur-
chase of bullion by the government? The
politicians would like to leave this ques-
ton in fog, but the people will not toler-
ate such stiffness. We are not obliged
to cross Mason and Dixon's line to find
agitators who are promoting humbug.
Secretary Carlisles missionary work in
the south should be paralleled by mission

AS showing to what lengths the popu-
lists and other advocates of free silver
win so, it is noted that the Progressive
Farmer. of Raleigh, n. c., an organ of the
populists and the paper founded by the
late l.. L. Polk. president Of the Farmers
Alliance, takes the ground that the peo-
pie have a natural right" to demand that
silver owned by them shall be coined by
the government, or by other means, and
adds: If we should see person making
silver money we would not inform on
him" That is precisely the way the
"moonshiners" look upon the process of
making whisky. They think everybody
has a natural right to change his corn into
whisky If he IS SO disposed, and it is none
of the governments business. AT the same
time. the laws prohibit the making of
money by Individuals, just as they do the
making of whisky by an unlicensed dis
tillery, and when the populist press vir-
tually advises CONTRIBUTING, it is advis-
ing the breaking of the laws. The party
or the paper that advocates lawlessness
cannot long survive.

no help for it, But what was quartette

The cholera has pretty well disappeared
from Europe. except in Russia, where it
ragged so severely last year; but there has
been new outbreak at Mecca. 1t has
long been known that the chief agent of
dissemination of the disease at Mecca is
the holy well'' in that city. which is
used by the pilgrims to Mahomet's tomb
as a bathing pool as well as a drinking
fountain. At the end Of April there were
$500 pilgrims in the holy district; at the
end of June it is thought there will be 200
600 Of them at Mecca. hence there is rea-
son to fear a rapid increase in the disease
and in the death rate. There has from
time to time been talk of a movement by
the Christian nations against that famous
pool of death, but nothing has ever come
of it.

Some of our esteemed contemporaries

it would be advisable for them to be sure
they are right before making statements
about the position of the Morning News
on the silver question or any other.

it as follows:
Would the esteemed Savannah

pernicious announcement prior to the
repeal of the sherman law? No; it

| strongly condemns"
| The Times-Recorder is mistaken The
Morning News has not changed its posi-
| ton in the least. We would have stated
before the repeal of the purchasing
clasue of the Sherman silver law just
what we state now. and doubtless did
state it then in substance.

corder say that we strongly advocated
then what we strongly condemn now

ing News. What we advocated then is
| what we favor now, as far as bimetauism
is concerned, and that is free coinage of
silver by international agreement. If all
the other great commercial nations should
| agree to open their minis to the free coin

to the opening of the minis of this country
for the same purpose. What we oppose is
free silver coinage by this country indie
pendently of the nations of Europe With
all the great commercial nations acting
together in the matter of free silver coin
age no great financial disaster could be
suffered by this country as would be the
case if we should act independently in the
matter. We don't think the Times Recor-
Ger wishes to create a wrong impression
among its patrons in respect to the posi-
ton of the Morning News relative to the
silver question, but it is likely to do so un-
less it keeps closer to the facts. Much OF
that which appears in the public prints in
regard to silver grows out of misstate-
ments. Win the Times-Reeorder say why
