Made Money on the Bonds
From the Chicago Tribune.

From the Chicago Tribune.
1t is asked to what amount bonds
have beer issued by the United
States in the last two years, and how
much was received for them. The
first OF the issues was in February
1894. 1t consisted of Sc millions in
per cent. bonds at such a rate as
netted 3 per cent. to the investor.
The net receipts for them were S58,-
66l, 900. The next issue of so mil
lions in 5 per cent. bonds in Novem-
ber, 1894, yielded to the treasuary
S58,53S, 500. Under the agreement
of February s last 3,500,0o0 ounces
Of gold were to be purchased by an
issue of per cent bonds for $62,-
3l7, ,500-at least one-half Of the
gold to be brought from abroad.
This netted $67, 7,l17.50O, and if Con.
gress had authorized the substitution
Of per cent. gold bond for the
four-t thirties, the right to do which
had been reserved by the Govern
ment, it would have saved to the
people of the United States $l6,-
ia, no in interest. The total of the
bonds issued in the three sets was
$l62,3 500, for which the Govern
ment received S1S2 317, 900, or very
nearly 20 million dollars premium,
the reason for the excess being the
fact that interest rates are much
lower now than those named in the
Act of January ii. 1875, under the
authority of which the sales of the
bonds were made.

The Courts A Court.
Highest Judicial Tribunal De-
cides it as Such.

The State Supreme Court yester.
dav decided that it "was court. .
The issue raised as to whether it was
a legally constituted court or not un-
til the fourth justice provided for un-
der the new constitution has been de-
cided, and the court is going ahead
with it's business. The court has
promised to file an opinion dealing
with the issue at length in all its
phases.
The court announced its determi.
nation Of the issue in the two brief
decisions given below. which were
read yesterday morning, in the two
cases in which the issue was raised
The decision in the case Of "the
State, respondent, vs. D. G Murphy,
defendant, appellant reads as fol-
lows:
The defendant in this case having
interposed plea to the jurisdiction
of this court, that question meets us
at the Threshold of the case and
must be first disposed of.
This plea is based on the ground
that this court, as at present organ
lied, cannot, since the present con-
stitution has gone into effect, take
jurisdiction of this case, because, as
it is claimed, it g not the supreme
court, established by the present con-
stitution.
This court, after careful considera-
ton of this question, having unani.
mously reached the conclusion that
the plea to the jurisdiction cannot be-
sustained, it is ordered that the plea
be overruled.
The reason for this conclusion will
be set forth in all opinion hereafte:
to be filed. Henry McIver,
Chief Justice
The decision in the other case.
that of "Middleton and Ravene|,
plaintiffs, respondents, vs Albeit R.
Iaber, and others, defendants, ap-
pellants," reads as follows:
At the hearing of this case the
question of jurisdiction arose which
it is necessary to dispose of before
proceeding further with the case.
That question is based upon the
ground that by the terms of the Con,
stitutlon Of this State, which took
effect "from and after the 31st day
of December in the year 1885," this
court as at present organized cannot
take Jurisdiction of this case
After careful consideration of
this question this court has unani-
mously reached the conclusion that
the jurisdictional objection cannot be
sustained, and hence the court will
proceed with the hearing of this case
on the merits
The reason for this conclusion will
be set forth in an opinion hereafter to
be filed Henry McIver,
Chief Justice

Will Test its Constitutionality

Daily Item.
The report comes from Donald
sonville that some of the leading
lawyers among the Republicans
have resolved to test the constitu-
tionality of the new election law,
on the ground that it imposes a
qualification for suffrage in addi-
ton to those named in article 1876
of our organic law. 1t is a sort of
half belief of The Insider that,
within the next twenty days, the
Democrats will take this step, if
the Republicans do not. The new
continuance cuts on two edges, and
the Fosterites are beginning to
feel the sharp cut of one Of these
edges. On this subject the Frank
lin indicator truly says:
While the fraudulent makeshift
designed to take the rights Of citi-
zens from the many, and lodge the
responsibilities of government in
the hands of the few, is clearly
unconstitutional, for the reason
that it imposes qualification on
voters other than that which nc
legislature has the power to alter
or amend; we must not lose sight
of the fact that anything is &C
in this State when fathered by
Democracy, constitution or nc
constitution; therefore, the less
that is said about constitutions
and the more work done to edu
cate the voters to the new condi
tons. the better for those opposed
to that party. 1t is true a mum
Der of our best people will be de
prived unlawfully of the right t.
vote, but at the same time it is /,
double-edged sword that cuts boil
ways. 1t is only question as t.
which party has the greatest mum
Der of illiterates. We are salts

trict can stand the test and com
