The silver Lining.

The situation is seldom quite as bad
as 1t might be. Happy is the spirit
that recognizes this truth and takes
comfort to itself in the thought Of what
is spared. The Irishman whose. tale of
calamity is related in the Birmingham

Press. reports from New York
report that the secretary of the
treasury when in that city a few
days ago authorized the statment
that he would promptly deposit
money in the banks, if money rates
hardened and that he would i'm
mediately return to the banks in
the shape of public deposits the
money received from the sale of
Panama Canal bonds. So the banks
under this arrangement are to have
their cake and eat it too. They
buy the canal bonds and draw the
interest and our kind and devoted
friend of the corporation, the secre-
tary of the treasury, will hand
them back the money, "if money
rates harden" and who can doubt
the rates will not "harden" under
such an incentive. If the rates
"harden" to s per cent, the banks
would be able to loan the $50, OOO,-
O0o at the rate ofs2, 4OO,O 900 a year
and at the same time be drawing
the regular interest of 2 per cent
on the bonds or 100000. The
question naturally ar Uses, why did
the administration sell Panama
bonds when the money was not
needed in the treasury?

SECOND APPEAL
OF BURTON CASE
Novel Points Raised Against
Court Decision.
LEGAL TALENT IN FORCE
Validity of the Act Under Which the
Senator Was Convicted
ASSailed.

The argument Of the second appeal of
Senator Burton of Kansas TO the Su-
preme Court OF the United States was
heard before the fun bench today
Senator Burton is seeking 10 avoid
the imprisonment awarded upon his sec
ond conviction At 81. Louis. OF having
exercised his influence as a Senator at
the POstoftice Department in behalf OF
the Rialto Grain Company. against
which proceedings were pending for hav-
ing used the mails TO dcfraud.
Ten lawyers, including some OF the
best legal talent in America. were pres
ent to argue for the courts benefit.
Former Judge John +. Dillon. the cor
poration lawyer. Bailey p Wagner, OF
Atchison, Kan. general counsel Of the
Missouri Pacific Railroad Company, and
Fred Lehman of ST Louis. one OF the
foremost trial lawyers of the Mississippi
Valley. appeared in Burton's behalf.
One novel point Was raised in the con-
tentiOns OF tire appellant. The validity
of the act Of 1864. under which Bur
ton was prosecuted, was assailed upon
constitutional grounds
II was argued that this act by which
Congress conferred upon the courts
jurisdiction to try Senators and Repre-
sentatives for certain prohibited acts.

stitutiOn. which declares that the Sen

turns, and qualifications OF its own
members"
BY his conviction and sentence at St
Louis, Burton is rendered forever
hereafter incapable of holding any office

ernment of the United States" II was
argued that il the Senate desired Bur-
ton TO remain a Senator, it could nullify
the action of the trial court and repudi-
ate the effect OF the act of 1864. There
fore. II was asserted, the act OF 1864 was
In no sense the law OF the land.
One argument was that Congress
might pass a law making il a crime
for the President during his term OF
Office TO try 10 influence legislation.
