He also quoted English cases showing
that the mere possession of $50 did not
insure entrance into a country, that
the inspectors had authority to prevent
them from entering if they were unde-
slrable immigrants or aliens.
Mr.. w. r. Castle followed Minister
Cooper. He said that there were two
propositions before the Court. One was
the finality of the inspectors decision,
and the other whether or not the Court
is bound by treaties with other nations.
He thought that only in the case of
fraud could the Court review the decis-
ion of the inspector. With this eXcep-
tion the Court could not go behind the
return. He pointed out that the de-
cisions cited by the petitioners counsel
were made in the United States prior
to the last immigration law of 1891 !;
that since that law was passed, the
Courts held that Congress had given
the determination of the immigrants
qualifications entirely to an executive
officer. The Hawaiian law was similar
to the American law He cited, also,
the decision of the Supreme Court of
theUnited States that Congress has the
power to override treaties. If the Leg
islature power of Hawaii had passed
q law overriding the treatry with
Japan. it found the best precedent in
the example of the United States.
Mr.. BalIou followed, citing authori-
ties. on the point of an attorneys right
10 petition for the writ of habeas cor
pus. Mr.. Magoon, also, made brief
Some discussion took place

Proposes Alloy Coin of Gold and
silver.
MR. EDITOR-As man early learns to
covet gold and silver, he would give
other commodities for these metals, and
again might be induced to part with
them in exchange for some needed thing.
In this way the metals came to be me
diums of exchange" In the early bar
tering stage the metals were treated as
otner commodities, but as civilization
advanced and governments became sta
HE, to facilitate exchange kings would
stamp pieces of metal with their weight
r Il the seal of the government as attest
al in such pieces is money. 1t was
fouTd that the relative value of the two
me ais was about 10 1-2 to l. that is, one
pound of gold was worth about hfteen
and une-half pounds of silver. So the
metals were coined and by law made
Interchangeable at that ratio. But the
in accordance with natural laws of trade
Though the metal is coined into money
that does not prevent its being used IN
the arts. If the jeweler wishes gold, he
can obtain it in money, and might wish
TO exchange his silver money for gold
money Governments have found II as
useless to say one pound of gold shall be
worth just so much silver the world over
as to say one bushel of wheat snail be
worth just so many potatoes the year
round.
Though readily conceding that both
metals should be used as lawful money,
but being unable to regulate their rela-
tive value; some nations employ but one,
in some others where both are used gold
is the standard, and large sums may be
required to be paid in gold, while silver
is legal tender for small amounts. This
latter arrangement works an injustice to
the business man who receives money in
small amounts and has large bills to
pay. Receiving silver money, and pos
Sibly being required to pay gold, he must
obtain the gold % banks, who thus have
an opportunity of "cornering' the mer-
chant by ''cornering'' gold To employ
other of a legitima te market. The use of
a metal as money gives it a market
which it otherwise would not enjoy, and
by creating gTIlter demand increases
natural money metals, each should have
tionS.
1t being impossible to keep the relative
value of the two metals uniformly the
same, yet desiring to use both as money
the right way for the nations to settle
the matter is to make an alloy of the
two metals, the proportion of the metals
market at the present time. y double
standard of this kind would have an ad-
vantage similar to that gained by using
two metals in pendulum. The standard
OF Tour hundred Troy grains of silver and
twenty-five grains of gold. This would
be IN the ratio of Is to /, and with the
dddltlon OF a baSer metal for hardening
would make a coin of not incOnvenient
SIZE, IN value about two dollars United
states money. Or the standard coin
could be of twenty-five grains weight
metric system, which may be better for
an International monetary unit. This
seems 10 be the only tenable bimetallic
theory. As a theory it certainly has few
Objectionable features, and much can he
urged IN its favor. FINANCIER.

WATER-POWER EXAMINATIONS.

of the water-powers of the State, which

embodying the results of this work will

close of 1897.
There is prevailing opinion in manu-

water in the South Atlantic rivers varies
so greatly that in the dry season Of the
year the power available from this
source becomes inadequate for large
manufacturing purposes. Believing this
opinion to be incorrect, some two years
ago. in conjunction with the United
States Geological Survey, the State Cecil
ogist established in North Carolina four
teen observation stations, ON the more
important rivers, at which stations, dur
ing the past two years, there have been
made daily measurements of the heighth
of the water; and at intervals during the
year, at each of these stations, careful
measurements have been made of the

TNION PACIFIC FORECLOSURE.

The sale OF the Union Pacific Railroad under
foreclosure proceedings has been delayed for
some time awaiting the decision or the Attor-
ney- General upon the question of an appeal by
the Government from the judgment entered In
the United States Circuit Court 1t has been
reported within the last few days that an agree
ment has been entered into between the Attor
ney-Genera and the Reorganization Committee
under which the former will nterpose no OBJ
stacles to the sale upon the terms proposed
Some mystery attaches to the details OF the
proposed transaction. but 1t IS understood that
since the decree OF foreclosure was entered the
syndicate Of underwriters who contemplate pur-
chasing the property and reorganizlng the com
pany have increased their original offer by
several millions in consideration Of the with
drawal Of the Governments appeal. The actlv-
ity in tho stock Of late Is supposed to have been
induced by these reports.
The sale Of the Governments interest in this
great property, and final severance of relations
watch have been embarrassing and Improbable
10 both for 50 many years, ii hardly need be
said will be a great public benefit. Il VIII not
only relieve Congress Of a most troublesome
question and save the infiction Of endless chat
ter upon the country, but will raplensh the
Treasury with needed funds. These consdera-
TONS however. important as they IRE. should
not be allowed to affect The judgment Of the
law officers OF the Government to such an extent
as to induce hasty action in the acceptance of
offers which subsequent events may prove to
be below fair and reasonable valuation Of the
Governments interest. The present Admins
tration has been relieved Of some embarrass
ment in treating this question by the action Of
its predecessor in initiating proceedings in the
courts. But II cannot be too careful In closing
the matter to avoid any occasion for charges OF
favorltsm or complaints that Government In
terests have been sacrificed. The Pacific rail-
roads have been fruitful Of scandals from the
beginning Too great care cannot be taken 10
avoid any pretext for repeating them in the
final transactions.

INDEPENDENCE " MUNICIPAL POLITICS

The convention OF Mayors and other munich
pal officers which Is being held in Columbus
Ohio, is only one OF the many indications OF
the recognition OF the municipalities need OF
proper government It's purpose is to have the
problems Of city government discussed by
practical men . affairs, men who are inter-
ested in matters of municipal Improvement"
and some idea Of the scope of the convention
NAV be obtained from this statement Of its OBJ
jects:
First-The formation Of n National organlza-
ton Of the chief executives and members OF
Councils OF cities in the United States.
Secon3-The hearing Of addresses on I'M
portant municipal topics.
Third-The general discussion OF all questions
pertaining 10 the administration OF all branches
OF municipal work.
Fourth-The interchange OF ideas and knowl-
edge on municipal problems. such as will result
from the experienced city officials coming In
contact with each other.
1t is not likely that the gathering, however
earnest its Intentions may be, will solve many
OF the serious problems of government which
confront the cities Of to-day. but IL is slgnifl-
cant and prophetic OF work in the right dircc-
ton that officers OF various municipalities have
come TO realize that they have questions and
problems In common, besides the keeping OF q
National or State machine well oiled with the
grease of public expenditure. 4 municipality
is something more than mere aggloneratlon
Of people who have crowded together because
of the advantage IN loo alton which certain
few acres Of ground possess over the surround
Ing territory. Even If that Is the way in which
towns grow. and even If that process can be
trusted for their maintenance. II is not the way
In which to mike them most habitable That

do than to sit by and lct the town develop In
