Senator Morgan, who is the original
expansionist, believes that our territorial
acquisitions will open way for the solu-
ton of the silver question on the basis
of free coinage. He is quoted in recent
interview as predicting that the extern
sion of American sovereignty over Ha-
wall, Porto Rico and the Philippines
will be followed by gradual expansion
of the currency in consequence of the
accelerated growth Of commerce and in
dustry, and then, coming down to the
money question, he adds:
THE expulsion of Spanish money,
which is silver, from Porto Rico and
the Philippines, and its replacement by
American money, together with the vast
~ increased demands of trade, will, in
my Judgment, increase the value OF sill
yer bullion to such an extent that there
will be no more contention over the
coinage question"

AN IMPORTANT DECISION.

New York imposes special taxes on
foreign corporations doing business III
that State. A big Western drug manu-.
featuring house sought to have the
taxes set aside and carried the case to
the United States Supreme court. JUS
tice Shiras. who delivered the opinion
of the court, said that 1.-THE law was set
tied that Il State might impose such con
ditions for permitting a foreign corpora.

might deem expedient, and that it might

Justices Brown and Harlan dissented
They said in substance that the form

domestic firms, corporations or persons
as against those from other States, and
that if each State set up system OF
special taxes on these outside bodies.
then it would in the aggregate amount
TO a sort of protective tariff system, thus
doing away with the freedom of trade
within the United States"
Commenting on the decision. the
Charleston News and Courier well says
'For our part, we regard the reported
decision as a perfectly proper and right
one, for the reasons broadly stated by
Justice Shiras. Every State taxes the
domestic firms. corporations and persons
doing business within its limits, and it is
a discrimination" against them in effect
to allow foreign firms. corporations and
persons to compete with them without
being taxed. in some form, in equal
measure. 1t IS bare Justice and rot ia

foreign traders on an equal footing with
them, and there is no elemenl Of the
protective tariff system in snch pr;lc-
tice, as it places the outsiders 1T no dis
advantage whatsoever as compared with
their local competitors. X citizaa of one

should not be allowed to trade in anoth-
er State without paying such taxes Oh

lations as may be imposed to equalize the
conditions of his business with those OF
the local traders"
This decision marks radical depar-
ture from the decisions that have uni
formly been rendered heretofore by our
highest court. Under this decision, il
would seem that the Legislature has the
right to re-imposc the old drummer's
and like taxes which were successfully
resisted when last contested.

THE CRIMES FOR WHICH AN OFFICER CAN
Be IMPEAcHED.

During the past year there have been
suggestions from various quarters that
Governor Russell ought to be impeach-
ed. and not few suggestions also that
Lieutenant Governor Reynolds ought to
share the same fate.
A correspondent has asked us TO print
the causes for which public officer
may be impeached. In another column
this is done and succinct statement of
the several steps taken in the impeach-
ment trial of Governor Holden are given
as an interesting piece of history, The
Code gives six causes for which pub
lie officer can be impeached:
1. Corruption or other misconduct III
his official capacity.
>. Habitual drunkenness.
3. INVESTIGATION whi& engaged in the
exercise of his office.
i. Drunkenness in any public place.
:. Mental or physical incompetence.
6. ANY criminal matter conviction
whereof would tend TO bring his office
into public contempt.
1t will be seen that under the first
count an official can be impeached for
misconduct in his official capacity" 1t
has been generally understood that inn
peachment could not be Iesorted to eX-
cept for what are declared to be
high crimes and misdeipeanors" -trea-
son, gross corruption, or infamous con
recognizes misconduct III his official ca
pacity" as sufficient ca,tse for impeach
ment.

M'KINLEY'S BROKEN PROCESSES.

McKinley's platform and his letter OF
acceptance promised to maintain and ex-
tend the civil service system. Here is

party, which has always sustained It,
and we. renew our repeated declarations
that it shall be thoroughly and honestly
enforced and extended wherever practi-

civil service were removed and the rules
rescinded. Now the President lis about

THE CONFERENCE AND CIGARETTES.

The impression has gone out that the
Methodist Conference at Winston voted
that cigarettes were not evils. The com
mittee on Temperance presented a report
embodyng a resolution denouncing the
manufacture, sale and use Of cigarettes.
This was stricken out by vote Of 60
to 81, but the following resolution.
adopted unanimously, shows that the
conference record against the use OF;
cigarettes: "We recommend that our
preachers and laymen should 1rndently
discourage the use of tobacco i'll all its
forms, especially among our young pco-
pie. That we do all we can TO enforce
the laws of the State against the selling
of cigarettes TO minors"
