The Welcome Demurrer.
~ through the process technically

~ through the process technically
known as demurrer, the attor-
neys for John B.. Welcome,
against whom disbarment proceedings
were brought, sought to make it ap-
pear that the supreme court was with
out jurisdiction in the case. The plea
was that the acts charged related to
matters outside of the field of profess
sional duty and that the supreme court
cannot take up proceedings to disbar
until trial court has heard the charges
and passed upon them.
On that point the supreme court has
passed, in a decision handed down yes
terday. The court asserts its jurisdic-
ton: it declares, after dealing with the
objections urged in behalf of Welcome,
that the law gives the supreme court
full power to act The court throws out
one or two of the charges These
would not be called material; respect
ling the essential charges of corrupt
conduct in Welcomes dealings with
members of the legislature, the argu-
tment made, on demurrer, in Welcome S
Thus the essential fact is established
that the court has the right and the
power to take cognizance of the charges
land to deal with them-the power of

or not. The court announces that it
will refuse to act, in advance of a
criminal prosecution and conviction in
an ordinary trial court. unless "cCgent
reasons be given" why the supreme
court should deal directly with the
case; the presumption is" the decision

The Financial Question.

Y an interview quoted in the Salt Lake
Tribune Mr.. Moreton Frewen, the
eminent English financial economist,
expresses the opinion that during the
coming year the currency question will
assume greater urgency than ever.
This view is based upon the same gen
eral consideration repeatedly urged by
.merican bimetallists. namely, that the
present improved business conditions
are owing to circumstances of wholly
abnormal character. 1t is contended by
the gold men that the advent of pros
perlty has killed the silver issue by
disproving the claim that there could
be no prosperity under the gold stand
ard" This, however Is not stating the
issue with entire fairness. The argu-
ment of the silver leaders was that
there could be no permanent prosperity
under the single gold standard.
"One swallow does not make a
spring" and it remains to be seen how
long the present period of better times
will last. Business conditions will not
and cannot always be the same under
any monetary system. Whether the
standard be gold, or silver, or paper, or
a mixed one consisting of two or more
kinds of money, business will vary. At
times. it will be more than usually de-
pressed and again there will be visible
/ Improvement. This is owing to the fact
! that While the money supply always
! has an important bearing, there are
| other elements which also have their
| effect. The soundness of a monetary
| system must be determined by average
| conditions extending over long periods
of time.
1t is fact recognized by leading
| economists on both sides Of the silver
| question, that, subject only to spas
modic reVivals. the whole period from
1873 to the middle of 1897 was one of
! extraordinary business depression, not
| only in the United States but in Eu-
/ rope as We'll And what is more re-
! markable, the depression was by far
| the greatest in gold standard Cour-
| tries-Great Britain standing first the
| United States second and Germany
/ third in the order of their suffering
! This has been made the subject of re-
peated Investigations both in Europe
and America, and although opinions
differ as to causes, there is no question

verbal number of lives attributed to
them, Mr.. Coleman does not run much
risk from the dangers of the Alaskan
climate to his importations. The ex-
istence of the rat there is sufficient
warrant for the hypothesis that the
cat can also live and thrive. Unde
niably there is more sense-and more
money-in Mr.. Coleman's cat scheme
than in Secretary Ayers reindeer
operations. We never hear any more
about those wonderful reindeer that
were to solve the rapid transit problem
in Alaska. Alger ordered them from
Norway, the government paid the
freight and all other expenses, and they
were duly taken to Alaska, where they
were expected to increase and multiply
with great profit and rapidity. But
realized-they seldom have been. The
reindeer got homesick and refused to
breed. Most of them have died of nos
talgia, and those that are left have
make can of embalmed reindeer.
But cats are different proposition.
The cat is not an advance agent of
civilization, but he is always to be
found pretty close up to the procession.
He will go to Alaska ana The residents
of that territory will be SURE to hear
from him.

The Gallinger- Chandler Fight.

~ HERE is anything but concord
in Concord, N. H. Many of the
leading republicans of the state
are assembled there to participate in
the proceedings against Senator Gal
linger, who is charged with having
violated the civil service laws in that
as member of the republican state
committee he asked republican office
holders to contribute to the campaign
fund. The row among the New Hamp-
shire republicans has not attained the
notoriety of the bitter feud between
the republican factions of Ohio; but
yesterdays proceedings will give it a
big boost towards fame.
Between Senator Gallinger and Sena-
tor Chandler there must be all the
vigorous and untiring animogity that
characterizes the relatio of Senator
Hanna and Senator Foraker. Vener-
able in years, sedate and dignified in
appearance are both of New Hamp-
shire's senator's; and the crisis must
have been more than ordinarily acute
that would force them to make a JET
fries Fitzsmmons exhibition of them
selves right there before everybody in
open court. 1t seems that Senator
Chandler accused Senator Gallinger of
being responsible for the absan ce of
the treasurer of the state committee:
whereupon Senator Galinger invited
his distinguished colleague to go out
side and repeat that statement if ha
dared. This was followed by a rapid
fire of hot words on both sides. during
which the belligerents. with clenched
fists and red faces, drew into clos =
quarters and prepared for a finish
fight. Unfortunately for pugilistic cir
Giles, it will never be known which is
the better man. We have a notion that
Senator Gallinger would have got the
decision in about the seventeenth or
eighteenth round, for he is lighter on
his feet and as a physician by profess
sion he would have been able to locate
his colleagues solar plexus with pre-
cision and frequency.
fractional quarrels in a party are diff
ficult things to settle, and it may be
that the Gallinger- Chandler method is
as direct, effective and satisfactory as
any. But their plan should have been
followed to its logical conclusion. The
feeling of the country this morning will
be one of regret that the fight was
stopped before it had been demon
strated which was the better man, at
least in the matter of points,

The President in a Hurry"
~HE dispatches inform us tn

~HE dispatches inform us that
President Mckinley is paying
the closest attention to details"
in the organization of the ten new
regiments to be raised; that he has
been in consultation with Roosevelt as
to the personnel of the officers; that
hurry is the order of the day." and
that the work presses upon him SO
closely that he cannot take a yaca-
ton, even for day.
If all this is true, 1t suggests Sc
rious situation, and will greatly
strengthen the feeling of regret, quite
largely entertained, that the president
did not get into hurry" sooner. But
now that the spirit of hurry" has
taken possession of him, it is equally
TO be regretted that Mr.. Mckinley does
not enlist the total of $4,000 men au-
thorized by the law.
When a war is on 1t is better to have
too many men than not enough. But
If the president is under such a pres
sure looking after the details of the
organization of ten regiments, he, of
course, would be physically incapable
of attending to $4,000 men at one time.
and there may be no officers connected
with the war department whom he is
willing to trust with such matters. If
so, perhaps he is eXcusable.

A New Alaskan Enterprise.

~ HERE is more than one way to
make a fortune in Alaska. 1t
appears from Seattle dispatch
that one Fl. j. Coleman. a Wiscons'n
man, is impressed with the belief tia,
there is money in cats. He sailed from
that city yesterday with a quantity
of Toms and Marias, which he expects
will bring him from twenty to fifty
dollars apiece. Rats, he says, are very
numerous and troublesome in Dawson.
and where there are rats there must be
a demand for cats. Mr. Coleman's en-
'terprise is not without precedent. 1t is
celebrated in song and story that Sir
Richard Wilmington, lord mayor of
London, got his start in life by deal
Ding in cats. He shipped them to lands
where there We're rats but no cats, ana
rhe business proved so remuneratiVe
that he acquired wealth and political
influence. He was successfully alder
man, sheriff, mayor of London and
member of parliament. He hobnOhbad
with Henry V, loaned him money and
by him was knighted.
Some modern critics reject the tat
incident of Sir Richards life as a
myth, arguing that the legend arose
through the fact that Wilmington S
fortune was made in the voyages of a
medieval cat" another name for a
