The Court Of Appeals Of New York,
in session at Albany, on Tuesday, rem
dered a decision which. in the opinion
of many goods lawyers knocks hole in
the Raines liquor law as big as barn
door. The decision was in the case OF
the Adelphi Club, of Albany, and was
to the effect that the clubs steward did
not violate the of excise law in selling
liouor without having taken out license,
and that therefore social clubs are
not required to pay an excise tax. the
New York papers tell us that the decision
reads as though the court had in mind
the Raines law, as well as the old law
for the violation Of which the steward
of the Adelphi Club had been arrested.
The decision is to the effect that social
clubs are not dealers OF traiiickers IN
liquor; that liquors are distributed to
members on written orders of the men,
hers al a price fixed by the officers Of the
club merely to cover the purchase price
and disbursements in serving. In the
language of the decision: ut "a club Is
not organized for the purpose of engaging
in business FOR profit or for the traffic
in liquors"
The language OF the Raines bill Is al
most similar to the language of the
excise law Of 1892 under which the Adel-
phi Club was prosecuted.

TILE pRESInENT,S POSITION.

1t has been said of President Cleve-
land that he is in the habit OF examining
into all important questions for himself.
So he may take some time TO come TO a
conclusion as to what he ought TO do
with the Cuban resolutions passed by
Congress the other day. The first of
the said resolutions was merely recog-
milton Of Cuba's right to be recognized
as belligerent Power. Nobody disputes
the right of Congress to pass that reso-
luton. The second resolution may be
regarded by Spain as one that ought
not TO have been passed. but its language
is not such as should induce her TO think

tention on the part Of Spain of dopg. The

ELECTION OF u. s. SENATOR'S.

a New York paper makes a good point
when it says:
THE tendency of public opinion is 10
dlsparage the Senate and depree!ate its
dignity, its usefulness. its integrity, its
power" but all the attempted eXplana-
iion OF this is the mere talk OF a poll
ticlan who is seeking to flatter the people
10 advance his own interests. Senators
were elected by legislatures as they are
now when Webster and Hayne and Clay
and Calhoun and Benton and Marcy and
Wright and Douglas were its members.
The diminished reputation of the Senate
must be attributed 10 something other
than the choice of its members by legis-
latures, for that method has prevailed
from the beginning"

~rHE EssENCE OF DIMETALLIsM.'

THE essence Of bimetallism is interna-
tionalty,' says the Hon. Perry Belmont
who has served as a member OF the United
States Congress. and whose opinion as a
representative OF the greatest banking
house I'm the world Is entitled to high re-
spect, whether we concur In II or not
Yes the essence OF bimetallism is inter-
nationality. and the sooner this TACT -
recognized by the leading fnanciers oil
the country and by the businessmen,
and by all who wish 10 have a part In
the settlement OF the money question, the
sooner will sound currency be In the
hands of every man. AS we have repeat
eddy had occasion to say. an internationhl
agreement az TO the ratio at which silver
shall be coined free would lead all the
nations OF the earth out Of the financlai
difficulties in which they are at present
involved. and place their feet upon the
solid rock Of sound money.
We suppose we may claim that the
New York Journal Of Commerce Is as good
authority as Mr.. Belmont when financial
questions are to be passed upon. That
paper we quoted yesterday as having
having made the following utteranc. we
quote again:
1.-THE adhesion Of England (along with
France and Germany would undoubtedly
secure an international agreement TO Try
the bimetalic experiment.
The friends and advocates OF an interna-
tional agreement to coin silver free or
cost ask only that Congress shall try the
bimetalllc experiment. Think Of England
France. Germany, and the United states
combining to try this experiment! Why 1t
would be a success before an information
al conference could be assembled IL the
parties to the experiment are all properly
and fully posted on The subject. We have
no doubt that England and the United
States could by their own action place
silver upon a parity with gold, but out
of abundant caution we would invite
Germany. France Austria, Russia, and
Spain to join with the United States and
England in this good work.
A fixed rate arranged with .us-not for
us-by European concert are the words
Mr.. Belmont employs in another place.
This is another good phrase. Concert OF
action amongst the leading nations Of the
world would end all strife on monetary
questions the world over. Shall the
United States remain idle and allow THIS
golden opportunity to pass unimproVed?
We trust not. Shall we fear to do what
we ought to do because the shadow OF a
name hangs over us-that Of Belmont!

Washington, April 6.
In the stream Of money that continu-
ally flows through the Treasury occur
many pieces worth far more than their.
face. They are passed into Uncle Sans
Golfers by people who have no notion OF
their value I'm the market that is created
by collectors. For example. mention
might be made Of a handkerchief-fuI OF
fractional currency sent in by miser
heirs not long ago. the notes being OF the
earliest issues. and signed by General
Splnner's own hand. Such curiosities are
sometimes picked out and preserved by
shrewd clerks, but this IS not supposed
TO be permitted. and the bulk Of them
find their way 10 the melting-pot or the
macerator. Strange to say. the most
precious specimens are old-styled copper
cents.
OF these big copper pennies ll9,UOOO

of them are exceedingly rare, and COM

Since then he has sold a part OF the

This dealer could have furnished 10
any purchaser the same coins in poor
condition for one tenth Of the price he
paid. For it Is an odd fact that the mar
ket value Of a piece o. metal money from
the collectors point Of view Is deter

occasionally in circulation are black with
