Judge Zane yesterday delivered a

who was convicted OF the crime Of
adultery and appealed to the supreme
court, contending that at the time the
act was committed there was no law in

a public offense; that the act of the
territorial legislature respecting poly
gamy, adultery and other kindred Of
lenses, approved Feb. 4, 1892, was
never a valid law of the territory of

CHIEF JUSTICE DISSENTS
IN CASE OF THE STATE AGAINST
LOUIS H. NORMAN.
John Beck Wins the Chicken Suit
Hecla Mine VS.. Osborn On Trial
Before Judge .Higgins-District
Court Orders, Probate Rulings and
Miscellaneous Court Business.

Justice Nielsen yesterday handed
down his decision on the demurrer in
the case of William Andrews VS., Ann
Elmer. in which was involved the ques-
ton of whether the statute of limita-
items ran against a plaintiff whose case
was adjudicated by person sitting IL
legally as a justice of the peace. His
honor found that the statute of limi-
tationS did not run against the plain
tiff, and, therefore, the demurrer was
overrlfed.

Two Great Political Weapona.

The vast volume of legislation is at
present the main obstacle in the way
of liberty. Even to know what laws
are passed in one legislature would oc-
cupy more than all a mans leisure
time. Nearly all these laws are in
somebody's special interest and as no
one can have special privilege except
at the expense of the rest, nearly every
such act has some advocates more or
less informed and active.
That 600 to 800 laws, nevertheless, go
through the New York legislature each
year is due to the improbability and
futility of opposition by the many who
have small interest in each matter, to
the few who have great interest in It.
BY putting weapon in the hands of
the leaders of the inert majority, direct
legislation, especially the referendum,
would make opposition to private laws
easy and effective Combined with pro-
portional representation, it seems to
me, it would reduce legislation to the
minimum, which is necessary for the
public interest.-Bolton Hall in New
Time.

The Fight Ia on Gold.

If the lawless, irresponsible dictat-
ors of industry and commerce are sue
cessful, then liberty, constitutional
government and personal security are
at an end, civilization is derailed into
an abyss, and retrogression displaces
progress through another age of bar
barism. Gold becomes the only God,
and bayonets the only prod to duty.
The university, the press and the pull
pit will all be made permanent attach
ments to the one despotic machine
which is to control every source OF
communication and instruction, and
stifie all thought and aspiration that
does not strengthen the ruling power.
On the other hand, the peoples victory
will end class rule forever, and grad
ually abolish all special privileges and
monopolies by means of which one
man holds an unjust advantage over
another.-Walter Vrooman in New

Partisan Census Figures.

The taking of the next census will
shortly necessitate the appointment by
the President of force of experts to
make arrangements for the work. 1t
will cost fully S10,O00,0 900 to take the
census. which will proceed, moreover,
contemporaneously with a presidential
campaign. 1t is greatly to be feared
that the work will be very partisan. If
We ever get a genuine census the re-
suits will amaze the country. Hereto
fore the complaint has been that the
very subjects upon which information
has been most desired have been neg
lected. For example, the distribution
OF wealth in this country has been a
matter of much speculation, but all
who look into this subject agree thl,
the census is taken in such a way that
no particulars of value can be obtain
ed through the medium of the reports.
The Republicans always take census
froT the point of view Of the tariff.
The experts on census subjects have
discovered that We get figures of no
moment, and President Mckinley has
placed the patronage of the prelimi-
nary committee entirely at the dis
posal of General Grosvenor of Ohio.
This man is quite destitute of the
QUANTITIES that go to make the statisti-
clan, for all he has ever done in the
way OF figuring is to calculate the size
OF Republican majorities. The Popu-
lists in Congress ought to take hold
Of this subject.

Some Fashion Notes.


An observing young man of Roches-
ter, N. T., has contributed the follow
Ing comments upon fashions of the
day: !,
1t is still fashionable for a great
many people to be hunting for employ
ment.
1t is still stylish in England to en-
ploy women to pull canal boats; they
are much cheaper than mules.
Some women in this city are so poor
that they have adopted the epicurian
fashion of eating refuse out of garbage
barrels. We have seen them.
1t is still fashionable for labor unions
to be led by labor fakirs who feather
their own nests out of the funds; and
who tell the members to keep out of
politics.
1t will be very stylish at the next
election, like many previous ones. for
workingmen to vote for what they
don't want, and get it.
It is getting more and more fashion
able to make statistics show just what
the capitalists want the working class
to believe. They like the working
class to enjoy imaginary prosperity
while they steal the reality.

suicide to abandon the primitive

What Keeps Reed There.

Speaker Reed will hardly thank his
friend Augustus G. Paine for the naive
manner in which the latter gentleman
explains the speakers decision to re-
main in Congress instead of resigning
and engaging in law business in New
York. 1T is true" says Mr.. Paine,
chat the pressure of large CONNER
cial interest has been brought to bear
on Mr.. Reed to induce him to retire
from Congress and come to New York.
Other large interests, however, feel
that Mr.. Reed should remain at the
capitol" The admission that Mr..
Reed lives and moves and has his be-
ing by the grace of large commercial
interests" both as speaker and in his
private capacity, is frank and COM
mendable, but it is hardly creditable
to Mr.. Paines discretion. The speaker
will be justified in feeling that his
friend has violated confidence in giy-
ing to the public arrangements Of a
private nature. Arizona Gazette,

Sound Business Proposition.

If the American people would only
reflect upon the outrageous and auda-
cious demands of the banking clique,
they would at once see the danger
which surrounds the finances of the
country. These bankers are bitterly
opposed to paternalism, yet they boldly
demand that the government give
them, without cost, a thousand millions
to carry on their business. When the
farmers suggested that the government
loan money on their land at 2 per cent,
they were called hayseeds and jays by
the hireling gold press. The last de-
mand Of the bankers is called Sound

WHAT Is MONEY?
THE TERM AS DEFINED BY
MANY AUTHORITIES.
,Ihe Reader Will Readily Note the
Points Wherein the Following Emil
nent Men Differ from Wall Streets
Hack Writers.

Money Is the medium of exchange.
Whatever performs this function, does
the work, is money, no matter what it
is made of."-Prof. Walker in Political
Economy.
Money is simply employed for bar
tering, as ship for carrying. It's
action is similar to a carts, it fetches
for its owner the things he is in want
of."-Prof. Jevons.
THE intrinsic value of money was
the idea in the days of crude barbar-
ism. The simplest and most perfect
form of money is that which presents
nothing but transferable debt, such
as paper. 1t is only when states have
reached a high degree Of civilization
that they adopt this perfect form OF
money. ."-Rees' Encyclopedia.
Whatever power there is over the
currency is vested in congress. If the
power to declare what is money is not
I'M congress it is annihilated.
We repeat, money is not substance,
but an impression of legal authority, a
printed legal decree.-12 Wallace, 5l9,
United States Supreme court.
AN article is determined to be
money by reason of the performance by
1t OF certain functions without regard
to its form or substance. ."-Appleton's S
Encyclopedia. ,s2k& z 't ?
Metallic money, while acting as
coin, is identical with paper money III
respect to its being destitute of in
trlnsic value. NORTH British Review.
Money is a tool of exchange and
nothing more 1t is not a measure Of
value, nor a standard of value. nor q
representative of property. 1t trans
fers property conveniently from one
party to another; as wagon hauls
goods from one place to another. -
Prof. Price.
Moneys are of great varieties. The
palpable characteristic which distin-
guishes money from the numerous
subjects that resemble it, but which are
not money, is its mark of authority,
signifying that it is issued, circulated
and made payable for debts, services,
fines, taxes and commodities by virtue
of law."-Alex Delmar in Science Of
Money.
Money is value created by law "a
statutor law. The value of metallic
money is created by Henry Cor
nuschi.
"The legislation assumes that in
contemplation Of law, money OF every
species has the value which the law
fixes on it; that congress has the con-
stitutional power to say that zen

forth be the dollar and do the office
heretofore done by sixteen penny
weights, four and one-half grains. =

Results Of Contraction,
