TA'YL | or! S CASE.

" Should Taylor, the South Dakota de-
5faulting treasurer, who has just been
sentenced to five years in the peniten-
5tiaEy, escape punishment altogether, as
it Is said to be likely that he may,
through a technical defect in the law, It
would be a disgrace to that state. That
a3law, or rather a series Of bungling, con-
Trajectory and unintelligible Statutes,
should have been permitted to remain
for any length Of time uncorrected does
not speak well for the law makers OF
the state. And the bungling of the
statutes has not been a lately discovered
matter either. 1t has been known to at
torneys practicing criminal law ever
since the laws were enacted and yet no
step has ever been made to have the
defects remedied. II ssss
1t is understood that If Taylor had
been sentenced for two yearsonly that no
question could have been raised and that
he would have been obliged to serve In
the penitentiary for that period, but
making the penalty five years raises a
doubt as to the validity Of the sentence
and as q result the man who in open
court acknowledged himself guilty will
find himself free without an hours legal
punishment.
But what can be expected when the
law of the state makes such offenses as
Taylor's punishable by either two, five
or twenty -one years and neither tue
Judges nor the practicing attorneys can
make up their minds as to the punish
ment he should legally receive. There
is no doubt, however, that the people of
the state generally have long since made
up their minds as to the amount Of pun
ishment. They would have given him
the longest term mentioned and felt
sorry that the statute, would not permit
them to go farther.

& The newest thing under the sun in goy-
ernmental affairs is that instead of Ha-
Waii waiting for the United States to an
mex it it should step to the front and
annex itself to the United States. It has
not only the power to do this, 1t is argued,
but it has the power to send delegates 70
congress and demand rather than beg for
admission. This. it is claimed, is the
legitimate deduction Of the Monroe doc
trine and that all the South American and
Central American republics or other
forms ofgoyernment have'the same rights
and privileges. The idea is not copy
righted. B.

The able and prominent lawyers of the
country are on the anxious seat as to
which of them will succeed the late Judge
jackson as associate justice of the United
States supreme court. Among the most
prominent Of those mentioned are Don
M. Dickinson Of Michigan, Secretary Car
Isle. Postmaster General Wilson, and
Frederick A. Coudert, Of New York. The
latter gentleman, it is thought, might
hesitate to relinquish q large practice for
the comparatively meagre salary Of asu-
preme court judgeship.

It Is reported from Washington that
Miss Flagler who shot and killed the col
ored boy for stealing apples from her
fathers orchard will not be indicted for
manslaughter, but will go unpublished,
and the reason given is that the father Of
the. boy, who is poor, declines to engage
counsel for the purpose Of prosecuting the
case. It would aeem from this that there
is NO prosecuting officer in Washington,
or, if SO, he must be off on vacation.

And now 1T is Stevenson. He has been
heard to say that he would sign a free
silver bill should he ever become presi-
dent, and that such a bill should be pre-
scented to him by congress. This has
given hint to the free. silver men as
sembled in Washington and which 1t was
thought at first that Morrison, of Illinois,
would be their choice, it was found that
he was not altogether acceptable to the
South, and so Adtai' was taken up.

ass The critics OF Congressman Towne, ut
Duluth, are saying hard things about
him because two years ago he was gold
standard man and now he Is an advocate
Of free silver But these critics keep
silent regarding the fact that some time
ago Secretary Carlisle was a free silver
man, but,now he IS 4 gold standard man.
This pecnliarity is caused BY the kind Of
sspectacles one uses, whether they are
gold or silve trimmed. 54s <sssss

VIII be determined more by the silver issue
than by any other political question The
district is ordinarily Democratic, but IN
the revolt against the deficit tariff and the
cleveland administration last year 1T was
carried by the Republicans. This year the
tarlff still cuts some figure in the district,
out from all reports the prevailing discus
sion is concerning the money question, and
III would seem that there is chance to get q
popular vote on it in the district IN adj
vance OF the National elections next year.
The only thing that stands in the way OF
ciear-cut vote on the issue is the fact that
the Democratic party seems determined to
go both ways on the subject, even II 1t has
TO split itself in the operation. The tree
silver men are said to be majority OF the
party In the district, but Senator Palmer,
VINO controls the Federal patronage and IS
therefore something OF boss OF AFFAIRS,
has recently declared that free-silver man
cannot be supported by the supporters OF
the administration. If therefore, a free
silver man is nominated a gold-standard
man will probably be put up to beat him,
and this OF course will have the effect OF
confusing the campaign.
1t is possible that this division among
the Democrats renders the contest in the
district all the more valuable as a basis for
estimating the probable course of political
events next year. If the gold men set the
example of boiling the party ticket IN a
Congressional campaign this year, we may
expect similar division in many districts
during the Presidential election. The out
look at any rate is propitious to the coun-
try. If Democracy holds together in the
district we will get a vote of the Illinois
people on the silver question and learn
something of how that State stands on the
issue. If on the other hand, Democracy
splits then we get a Republi can walkover,
and that is always gain to the Nation.
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1895-08-12

year we have gained upon the British,
however, until in 1889 when the people OF
that country used It's pounds per capita,
more than 300 pounds were needed to sup
ply the American demand. If the same
ratio OF increase continues through this
decade, we shall by the year 1900 require
400 pounds of iron per capita to meet our
wants, and accepting the fact as standard
of measurement of social progress we
shall then be far in advance of Great
Britain and without a rival in the world.
Two demands for iron in large guam
titles exist in our present conditions. One
of these is found in the need of more rail-
roads and the other in the need OF more
ships. Mr.. Atkinson estimates that the
requirements of business will call for the
construction of 117000 miles of railroad
between 1890 and 1900. The construction
of such roads during the thirteen years
from 1880 to 1893 averaged 6400 miles a
year, which was considerably in excess OF
the estimate for this decade. 1t seems,
therefore, none too sanguine to expect that
beginning with 1896 we will add railway
mileage to our present service at the rate
of 5000 miles a year for many years to
come, and that within the next twenty
years we shall construct at least 100000
miles of new railroads.
The construction of ships will not call
for any such quantities of iron as are
needed for railways, but the consumption
in that industry is nevertheless sure to be
very great. We have reached the turning
point in the shipping industry. Hitherto
American caDitaI has heen so LARGELY en-
gagged in home industries that very little
was available for ocean commerce. More
over England having cheaper iron than
ourselves was able to build ships cheaper.
These conditions are about to terminate.
The United States has become rich enough
to apply large part OF her commercial
capital to ship-buiiding, and her iron and
steel industry developed under the protec-
tive system is fully able to successfully
compete with England. We may, there
fore, expect to see large number OF
American ships on the seas in the coming
decade, and this, of course, will materially
increase our consumption of iron.
A further fact of note is that the future
supply of iron for the world must come
mainly from this country. In 1890 the
world consumed about 100000 tons of
iron, and the estimate is that 40 200, 900
tons will be required for 1900. Our iron
industries, therefore, have a bright outlook
before them, and in accordance with the
rule that prosperity in the iron trade
means prosperity in every industry it may
be said that the signs of the times are in
the highest degree gratifying to the
country
