The opinion concludes as follows: By
the second section of the act Of 1886 the
legislature decided and assumed that
ali judgments and DEGREES that had
been entered involving the right of pO-
lygamOus children TO inherit, were not
final and assumed 10 direct the courts
TO disregard their effect as such and TO
entertain applications 10 set them aside
and assumed 10 command the state
courts 10 deem such cases transferred
and % take jurisdiction of them. %
-,rcceed and hear and determine such
applications. and if granted 10 hear and
determine the cases regardless OF liml-
tations or laches. In effect, the courts
are required to disregard all judgments
and decisions rendered in such cases
as fnal.
I'VE mus hold the act of 1896 invalid,
because in its passage the legislature
assumed TO exercise judicial powers
and also because the- assumed the
right to require the courts 10 regard
judgments as impeachable that We're
unimpeachable under the laws in force
at the time they were rendered and by
which vested rights We're established
and evidenced.
The opinion was delivered by Chief
Justice zane and concurred in by JUS
tice Miner and District Judge Hart. and
dismissed the petition for a rehearinS.

EReOt O0the Decline Of silver In Mexico.
Our contemporaries are pHtting the
cart before the horse on the question
of Mexican business being affected BY
the present decline in silver.
For instance, eJournal Of Commerce
yesterday headed its main leader as
follows: "Silver Stops Mexican Trade;"
but further on the Journal correctly
described matters. stopping Mexican
trade" If it means anything, means
trade within Mexico is being stopped.
Such, however, is contrary to the facts
The decline in silver gives Mexico .
tremendous business boom in all its
internal industries.
Again: The Sun of last Saturday In
a similar article gave the reader to un-
derstand that the fall in silver was
producing ruin in Mexico and threat
ening Mexico with bankruptcy and
consequent self-imposed Reputation.
Quite the contrary is the fact, as was
clearly shown in this column Tu esday
last.
Mexico was never so prosperous as
now, and the lower silver goes the
greater the premium upon Mexico be-
coming self sustaining in all lines Of
production, and the greater its power
to destroy every industry carried on in
every gold basis country, including our
own, in the world.
With silver at e5 or 30 cents gold for
Mexican dollar, Mexico can COM
mand, under existing laws, almost any
thing of gold basis nations,
Members of our stock and other ex-
changes have not yet taken in the full
significance Of how this matter bears
upon their business.
There are too many "ostriches" on
the street.
This is question of dollars, not
politics.
1t is n question of ruin to on r banks
and railways, not Organism, nor the
Chicago platform, nor even free silver
in the partisan sense generally used.
The Daily Financial News does not
care a rap about free silver politics
What it is trying to do is expose the
facts which destroy American securi-

men as irrefragable proof that ''pros-
perity has has returned"
The rise of wheat is good thing for
the farmers, and being good for them
it is good FOR the entire country, be-
cause agriculture is the basis Of all our
industries. This is precisely what the
silver men have steadily and persist
emily claimed. The unfortunate fea-
ture Of the present rise is that it re-
suits from crop failures and famine
abroad, and cannot last any longer
than those conditions last.
But the gold men have not got
through being inconsistent. They
can't, for without inconsistency their
lips are sealed and their pens are dry.
While filing the air with peans OF
praise because wheat has gone up they
are equally Joyous because silver has
gone down. The recent drop in silver
has closed many of the greatest silver
mines in the west, throwing thousands
of hardy miners out of employment
and casting a cloud over the present
and future Of at least i've states and
two territories
The simple adoption of the gold
standard In Japan has reduced the val
ne of our silver product many millions
of dollars and blasted the hopes OF
enough people to form good sized ma
ton; and yet the gold men rub their
hands with glee and ehuckle with sat
isfaction at the thought that the SILVER
craze is dead" Wheat goes up under
famine conditions in other lands. That
is IL good thing (even the famine), be-
cause it weakens the American farmers
opposition to the gold standard. Silver
goes down and practically ruins whole
communities. That is also good
thing (even the RUM, because it makes
it more difficult they think, to restore
silver as a standard money metal
In short, a rise of prices is gooC
thing whenever it strengthens the girl
of gold; fall of prices is equally goof
when it has the same effect.
The welfare of the people is mino
consideration. The gold STANDARD
must be preserved at all hazards, nj
matter how many self-contraditions o
how much famine and ruin it takes t.

For the last two or three years the
railroad corporations have had a lobby
at Washington trying to pass what is
known as the anti-scalping bill At
the last session of congress they made
a desperate effort to get the committee
on interstate commerce to report this
bill, and they came within one vote of
succeeding 1t seems that the railroads
are now determined to use their friends
the federal judges to make law by in
junction, which they have failed with
their tremendous Hobbies so far to gee
congress to make. The usurpation Of
power by the federal courts grows more
dangerous and alarming each day. 1t
seems that the monopolies and trusts
and gold rings own the federal courts,
or at least enough of the judges to en-
able them to appeal to the court and
get done what they desire. Judge Clark
isright in saying that these judges must
be elected by the people. In fact,
sooner or later the people must hold a
constitutional convention and correct
this and many other evils which must
be corrected before they sap the foun-
dation of our government.

silver and Dollar wheat.

Why has wheat gone to dollar
bushel? Because our competitors in
India, Argentina and other silver using
countries have failed to make a crop
this year. They have complete fail
ure of crops-a famine. If they had
made good crop this year then our
American wheat farmers would have
sold wheat this year cheaper than ever
before. The silver using countries
have q hundred per cent advantage over
the farmer in a gold standard country.
There is no hope for us to get good
price except when the silver countries
fail to make a crop-that is, as long as
we stay on the gold standard. Give
the American farmer the free and un-
limited coinage of silver and he will
get a good price for wheat every year.
He will get a good price even when In
dia makes a good crop. Let the gold
bugs answer this If they cau.-The

The Referendum.

NO time could De Inorc OPPOI"uAO
than the present for the movement look
ing to greater use of the Referendum.
The action of the last legislature OF
Illinois in approving legislation obnox-
ious to the people shows how great
is the need for reform along this line
The Yerkes and gas trust bills would
be powerless for evil had they contained
clause requiring popular approval be-
fore going into effect. But that is dis
tinctly what the hackers of those meas
ures would not consent to They would
grant almost any concession rather
than that
The initiative and referendum as
used in Switzerland could not well be
adopted at once and as whole to our
system. The adoption of the referen-
dunn is bound to be matter of gradual
development and growth, to be follow
ed later perhaps by the initiative in
legislation on the part of the people.
The use of the referendum is growing
in this country. In the early days of
the republic it was customary for con-
ventions framing state constitutions to
promulgate them without submission
10 the people. Now there are very few
states in which conventions are allowed
to change the fundamental law without
submitting their work to the people for
ratification. The referendum for legis-
lation affecting state constitutions is
now the established principle in this
country. There is growing tendency,
too, on the part of legislators to sub
init important questions to popular
vote, as instance the civil service law
and the Torrens land title law, both
voted upon by the people of Chicago
What is needed is further extension
of this custom, and it should be applied
In first instances to questions relating
to franchises and public property.
When revision of the constitution Of
Illinois shall be had again a provision
should be inserted absolutely requiring
the submission of such questions to the
people. Only so, it seems, can the
right of the public to its property be
protected. When legislators and alder
men persist in betraying the public the
remedy is to require the submission to
the people themselves of laws or ordi-
nances comforting valuable privileges
The referendum is best suited for use
over small divisions, which in part ex-
plains its success in Switzerland. In
this country the most promising field
for the introduction and successful OPP
Grafton of the referendum is in munich
palities and counties. The use of the
referendum for such large divisions as
the state, and especially the United
States, is attended with more Difficult
ty and it probably will be some time
before the referendum is much employ
ed in those fields. But there is an i'm
mediate aud pressing demand for the
referendum on questions affecting
smaller divisions than the state-the
municipality especially. When the
referendum shall have been adopted on
questions relating to franchises, munich
pal corruption will speedily grow less.
