is perhaps more significant is the fact that
people of moderate means are in search OF
homes. There is demand for property Of
this class, and while it has not reached the
dimensions that are looked upon as symp-
toms of an active market. the home buyers
are undeniably in the field. What is more.
they are buying houses, and of a class that
indicates they have a fair amount Of money
behind them They are not the Kind OF
people who expect to buy house with no
cash. Such a feat, however, Is accom-
plished, and under some circumstances it
may work out successfully; yet prudent
men advise that first payment be made
and that it bear a reasonable proportion to
the total cost Of the property.

TELLER Is LOYAL.

Senator Teller needs no one 20 vouch
for his honesty or intelligence. He
bears testimonials from too many who
would doubtless like to assail him now
because he stands firm for principle
while they have deserted on account
Of pique or patronage In a recent
letter to ex-senator Dubois of Idaho,
Senator Teller said:
It notice that some who heretofore
have claimed to be not simply bimet-
aIIists, but the friends of the free coin
age of silver at the old ratio of Is to l.
are declaring that they will hereafter
act, politically, with the Republican
party, Notwithstanding the action Of
that party at this session of congress.
No one who is a true bimetallist can
affiliate with that party, as it is APP
parent that those who have heretofore
professed to favor silver either did not
understand the Importance Of the ques-
ton, or else had no real conviction on
the subject"
How does that fit the local ex-cham-
piOn2 .

TECHNICALITrES IN LAW.

The life of man confined in the
states prison convicted of murder in
the first degree is said to be hanging
on a technicality. A mans life should
not be jeOpardized by technicalities Of
law or practice. Nor should the safety
OF society be imperiled by any such
frail barriers to the punishment Of
crime. Convictions or acquittals should
be secured wholly and solely On the
merits of the case.
Too often the ends of justice are de-
feafed by trivial complications of pro-
cedure. When a judge and jury have
tried an offender and reached a YER
dict. the appellate court is called upon,
not to try the prisoner again for the
establishment of his guilt or innocence,
but TO review the conduct and judg-
ment Of the trial court. Unless the lat
ter can show that no mistakes were
made in the course of the tedious in
vestigatiOn the case is apt to be sent
back for a new hearing. 1t frequently
happens that witnesses lose interest
or move away or die before the errors
can be rectified or the matter finally
adjudicated and thus the guilty often
escape punishment Yet, when the pen
atty is death, when possible mistakes
are irreparable, it is only fair that ev-
cry precaution should be taken against
a miscarriage of justice.
The consequences Of prolonged dis
cussions Of technical points. volumin-
Gus dissertations on the misspelling of
names, the omission of some legal fic-
ton, have tendency not only to post
pone the punishment OF the guilty but
TO discount the dignity and usefulness
of courts.
The decision of trial courts comes to
be inconsequentiaI in the estimation
Of the public when it may be reversed
by another court that never saw the
jury or listened to the testimony of the
witnesses. 1t frequently happens that
the court above, after months OF delay,
decides upon some minute point, per-
haps Of mere practice, which the non
professional public regards with
amusement or disgust
The custom Of appealing every case
lessons the Importance of and respect
for the local court and puts it in the att

BILL FOR The COLONIES.

A bill has been introduced into the
English parliament granting the right
Of representation there to English col
onies in recognition of their loyalty in
this time of peril for the crown
Can it be possible that England is at
last about to seriously consider the in
alienable rights of her colonies-rights
she denied the Americans century and
a quarter ago?
Can it be that the English govern
ment is preparing to concede the jus
tice of those demands for which the
Tory administration at Washington is
apologizing?
What American ever thought to see
the day when English statesmen would
offer representation to her cOlonists and
an American administration would
deny it to colonists of this republic?
BY what process of evolution or revo-
luton has it come about that the Eng
lish parliament recognizes and an
American congress repudiates the doc
trines and demands of cur Declaration
of independence?
Has Democracy grown in England
as Toryism has gained ascendeney in
this land Of the free and home of the
brave?
Have we fOstered and nurtured an
aristocracy of wealth on Wall street
more hostile to the interests and indif-
ferent to the welfare of the people than
is the titled aristoeracy Of England?

PORTO RICAN POLICY.

President Jacob Gould Schurman,
whose imperialistic utterances have
been the mainstay Of Republican ora
tors and editors for fhe last six
months, says that the president should
stand by the recommendations for con-
stitutionaI trade privileges which he
put forth in his regular message to
congress.
Should the present congress adopt a
tariff for Porto Rico against the rec
concentrations of the commissioners
and of the president, and against every
mans sense of justice and generosity -
he says, che orators Of the Democracy
can say with truth during the next
campaign that the trusts went down TO
Washington and grappled the Republi-
can party by the throat and made it
choke TO their advantage"
Since the CHEZ of the presidents in
sular commission has seen the Mckin-
ley tongue protrude as a result of the
choking the trusts gave him, since the
Republican majority in congress has
danced another jig to the crack Of
Havemeyer's six-sEooter, we trust
President Schurman viii take another
hitch in his conscience, as he did after
he was honored by the administration
last summer, and try and adjust his
opinions to the changed conditions"

SHOuP, The TWO-FACED.

The Albion Qda.) Times says that
Senator Shoup is far behind the rest
of his party in Idaho on the silver ques-
ton The old gentleman is euGeavoring
to delude himself and his constituents
that there is still hope for silver
through the Republican party, when
every one knowns that all the Repub-
lican papers in Idaho have been for
the past two years saying that silver
was dead and preaching goldbugism."
Our Republican friends do not seem
to have the least idea any more
whether they are goipg or coming on
the currency question. No man can
affiliate with the Republican party ma
tiOnally except TO aid and encourage
the money power, to enable Wall street
to get a little firmer grasp on the
! threats Of the people. to make it more
difficult for the masses to obtain their
rights.
And men and newspapers in Utah
now acting with the regular Republican
organization have said, and put stheir
declarations on record, that local adj
herence to the national Republican or
ganization is afiIiating with gold mono
metallism and oppression of the peo-
pie"
Shoup was elected as a silver man;
yet Mark Hanna has no more subservi-
ent slave in his retinue. ShouD tries
to satisfy the people whose interests
he has abandoned for his own, whose
trust he has betrayed at the instance
of the bankers trust, and at the same
/ time obey his masters.
This is why he shouts for silver and
votes for gold.
This is why he now reveals the du-
plicity and hypocrisy he concealed
when he was elected to the senate.
