UNFOLDING AMERICAN INSTITU
TIONS.
ATLANTA constitutional

Justice Roger A. Pryor, Of the Supreme
court OF New York, seems bent on pre-
serving the integrity Of our American
institutions.
Less than two weeks ago the justice
figured with some prominence in the
newspapers Of the country because Of his
refusal to give the courts sanction to
a charter which sought to incorporate
the Hungarian Social and Literary
Club of New York" 1t was the purpose
Of the club, as stated in its bylaws, to
encourage a deeper interest in Hungarian
literature and history. Justice Pryor
based his objections to the charter on the
ground that such a movement was in di-
RECT opposition to the spirit Of our institu-
tons, and that, instead of fostering a love
for the stars and stripes, it was calcu-
lated to produce a very different effect.
Without denying that the members Of the
club had a perfect right to meet without
a charter, if they so desired he held that
no American court Of law should give
its sanction to such a movement. While
the decision OF Justice Pryor created
some little surprise it was nevertheless
warmly approved throughout the coun-
try.
Within the last few days Judge Pryor
refused to grant n charter which seeks
to incorporate a society of Hebrews.
His opposition to this movement IS based
upon the fact that Sunday is mentioned
in the application for charter as the time
for holding regular meetings. Justice
Pryor holds that the Sabbath day is a
sacred institution and that no license for
it's violation should be granted by the
courts of the land. While this latter
decision Of the New York justice has
stirred up a lot Of criticism, there seems
to be a disposition on the part Of most
of the leading papers of the metropolis
to agree with him in his views. They
hold that since the Sabbath day has been
set apart as a day of rest for the Ameri-
can people there is no reason why the
courts Of justice should reverse the Gus
tom by allowing the day to be used for
secular purposes, and that the refusal Of
Justice Pryor to sanction the proposed
charter will meet with public approval.

A BEFoGGING JUNKET.

Senator Wolcdtt, one of the Republi-
can Senators who pretended TO think
that the way to help silver was to sup
port the gold standard candidate in the
late campaign, viii shortly sail for Eng
land to ascertain the strength of the free
silver sentiment there. He will meet a
chilling frost there because all the world
owes England, and it wants its debts
paid in money twice as valuable as that
loaned. He will find a few bimetallists
and will come back and advocate the APP
pointment Of commissioners to an inter
national conference, FIVE big men viii

and will send back cheering reports so
as to keep the money question out of the
campaign Of 1898, and the final result
will be fiasco. Tt is a pity that the
people VIII be taxed so much in money
and in patience for this junketing and

While President Roosevelt was in Gin

tioined him about some savage abuse of
his civil service views that appeared re-
Gently in New York paper. AS pos
sibly throwing some light on the OBJ
yiously malignant character Of this at
tack, Mr.. Roosevelt said "Just before
Thanksgiving a representative Of the
paper in question came to me and said
that he was interviewing a number of
prominent men as to what they were
thankful for. 1 told him that was thank
full that l did not read his paper" This
recalls the epigram of another well-Bnown
New Yorker, now out of Office, who,
when asked what he thought was the
explanation Of the enormous circulation
of another exponent OF ''the new journal
ISM" replied: "There is great number
of hogs in the world, and your paper gives

lines of a scientific tariff. that the mea-

and that 1t Is in the interest OF the peo-

To paraphrase an old and famiiiar
snhorjsm. when concocters of robber legis-

we are sorry to say that in this instance

more conclusively than ever that the
whole object of the iniquity Is 10 pay
the Republican campaign debt of graft

This is illustrated with especiai ioiSs
IN cases where the especially la'oleu
have been compelled to make concessions
Of reductions. II is pointed out lha'
where these have accepted a reduction
in one article they have been recon-
pensed by enormous duties in other Ill
rections.
The fight over the question of a duty OF
hides affords a fair index to the true
inwordness of the bill The New England
and other eastern manufacturers OF
leather goods still protest against duty
on hides. and have even gone so lar ds
TO predict the overthrow of the kepuoh-
can party if it is imposed. The western
Renublicans. on the other hand, continue
eouallv nersistent in favor of the duty.
This persistence is met, however. by the
declarations from the manufacturers tnat
II they alone are protected they can MAKE
ample profits from their business, ana

tbere ever a more shameless exhibition
of utter selfishness?
A Washington correspondent quotes
Democratic senator as saying, touching
the fight. that there has been no Demo
cratic doctrine instilled into the minds OF
these representatives of special interests
that are now wrangling over the sche-
dulles. The question Of proper ana I'M
proper methods Of taxation has not been
broached. 1t is simply wrangle as 10
how one particular set of men can gam
additional benefits from the imposition
of a duty or the placing of an article
upon the free list. And as they are all
actuated by the same selfish motives, the
ARRANGEMENT Of schedule has become a
matter of barter and SALE" That about
sizes up the situation.
Yet as we have said above. we see no
hone that the honest masses will proht
by the wrangle. Dingley is still repre-
scented as smiling and confident, and
this is taken to mean that he has tip
that party discipline will enable him to
get the bill through the Senate finally
in practically its original shape the
only hope Of the masses is in the reaction
that will be produced by the operation
Of the iniquity.
