Justice Brewers Address.

No one can question either the ster-
ling Americanism OF the true manhood
Of Mr.. Justice Brewer, and when he
speaks in a confident vein Of the fu-
ture Of our country his words carry
weight His late address ct Middle
town, Connecticut, was a notable one.
and if we may judge from the press
synopsis, much that he said is well
worth treasuring.
The United States is, indeed, a grand
nation-grand in its past, grand in it's
present, and grander still in its pros
pective future, subject only to the con-
dition that Americans be true to the
lofty ideals which gave the nation
birth This, however, is a most fnpor-
taat condition. 1t is one that should
never be forgotten, and it should fnffu-
ence our every action nationally and
individually.
There is no occasion for pessimism
over conditions as they now exist We
know that everything is not just as it
should be. Everything human par
takes Of imperfection. but in the face Of
all this man has risen out Of the bar
barism and darkness Of the past into
the civilization and sunshine Of today.
This rise has been checked frequently,
and at times it has seemed that retro
gTession had actually set in But the
checks have only been temporary. and
once they were removed the advance
was more rapid than before. So, let US
hope with Justice Brewer that it will
continue 10 be with the world IN gen
eral and our own country IN particular.
But we cannot afford TO trust to blind
optimism. The best and most skiIfuI
mariner may easily wreck his chip il
he simply allows her to drift with the
wind and tide He must use his skill
OF il viii do him no es,ed SO with
ourselves as a people. We justly pride
ourselves upon our intelligence, and
many assume that there can be no dan
ger to the Republic because we are so
intelligent But il viii never do for US
to rest in fancied security upon that
assumption; for unless we employ our
intelligence il viii not be an efectuaI
safeguard. An intellectual giant when
asleep is as helpless as an infant or an
idiot Even though he succeed in
arousing himself and graphing with
the danger that has approached, he
may only be able to ward it of at
cost Of great suffering and sacrifice.
This principle should govern US at all
times in our national policy. Nothing
could be more shortsighted than for

INTEREST ON STATE FUNDS.
\ Maryland Judge Says 1t Must Go
TO the Treasury,

BALTIMORE. Md. June 25.-Judge Den
mis-, in Circuit Court No. 2, of this city,
has rendered an opinion holding that
State officials have no right to retain the
interest paid on deposits of State funds
collected by them, as the interest money
belongs to the State. The opinion on this
question was rendered in the suit of the
State against the estate of the late John
T. Gray to recover SIC. 3S5 l9 interest al
legged to have been collected by Mr. Gray
while he was clerk of the Court of Com
mon Pleas. Judges Dennis and Stock
bridge sat in the case together.
An order overruling the demurrer of the
defendants in the suit OF the State against
James NJ Vansant and the American
Bonding and Trust Company, his surety,
to recover the interest received by Mr..
Nansant on deposits of State money while
he was clerk of the Court Of Common
Pleas was filed IN the City Court by
Judge Stockbridge. The same questions
were raised in both cases by demurrer.
Mr. Gray was clerk of the court from
November 10, 1885, until his death on No
vember 13, 1895. when Mr.. Vansaut was
appointed TO the Office and flied out the
term
\ similar suit against I. Freeman Rasin,
also a former clerk of the Court of Com
NUN 4tGSs Hd5 SGlLlGu Dt MI ELdS4N pay
ing S19,G05
The opinion discusses ali the points
made in the argument Of the demurrer,
and recites the provisions OF law limit
ing the salary Of clerks Of courts in Bal
tjmore to $500 a year. Then It goes on:
The money collected by the clerk from
fees. emoiuments OF otherwise is public
money and must be accounted for as
such; and, if public money. then the in
terest received from its deposit is also
public money, because the interest fol-
lows the fund and belongs to the owner
IF the fund as naturally and necessarily
a., the wool that is annually grown on
and sheared from a Sleeps back belongs
TO the owner Of the sheep.
Mr.. Gray was clerk for ten years, dur
ing which time he received by way Of
interest upon these deposits of public
money collected by him by virtue Of his
Office the sum of SIG, $S5 49; and, IL he is
entitled 20 claim this money as his own,
he will have received each year 1,63S in
addition TO his proper salary Of s, SO for
which he has already been allowed,
which would make his compensation an
nuaIy S5.13S instead of 1880, to which
the constitution limits IT
In conclusion the opinion states that
the court does not mean 20 reflect in the
slightest degree on the character of Mr..
Gray or OF the accounting officers with
whom he dealt In view of the common
practice and the conflict Of authority, the
retention Of the money, in the courts
opinion, offers no ground of criticism CT
their integrity either in their official or
personal capacity.

peaIs. II was tried by Cans & Hannah,
Benjamin \. Richmond and Attorney
General Isidor RayneT for the State and
William s Bryan, jr., and John N Steele
for the defendants.

Gated July s, saying that bloody con-

days, have occurred on the island of
