H the full legal-tender silver money
I of the United States to be 8549-
I 300,000 ; of France , § 434,000,000 ;
I of Spain , § 23,000,000 ; of Germany

meets , 3125,000,000 ; of China ,

I 000,000. Of the $4,053,000,000
Ij of silver money in the world today ,
I all but $620,000,000 is full legal
K tender , and more than half of it
ft has been coined since 1873. These
ft I figures are published by the New

H servative and extremely accurate
I paper whose statements on subjects

J ted as reliable.
I "I admit" said Lawyer Wool-
I i worth of Omaha , the other day , in
K I answer to an inquiry of JudgeMun-
I , gerif after the legislature passed a
If bill establishing a reasonable rate
ft of charges to be made by railroads ,
ft the courts had a right to review
K those rates to decide whether they
ft were reasonable , "that when this
ft matter finally works itself out
ft that the legislatures .of the states
ft will be left powerless and all reg-
I ulation of rates will be by the
I courts. " This is a startling prop-
R osition and doctrineand ; if it is to
I be accepted by the people as final ,
I then how absolutely essential is it
I to the people , how transcendently
I' ' important is it to them , that they
ft elect the judges of the courts ,
ft these final arbiters of everything ,
ft those in charge of' this palladium ]
ft of our liberties. '

THE TREASURY DECISION.
The decision of the treasury oft ]
cials that the new tariff law wen
into effect at the beginning o Sal
urday , the day on which it re
ceived the signature of the presi
dent , will very likely be affirme :
by the courts. The law reads "o :
and after the passage of this ac
there shall be levied , collected , '
etc. The act was passed Saturda ;
afternoon and a strict constructioi
of its language would seem to dati
its operation from the hour a
which it was signed by the presi
cent and became law. In tha
case all foreign goods which arrivec
within our customs districts befon
4 o'clock of last Saturday woulc
have to be admitted on payment oi
old duties. It is not known what
amount of goods arrived on Satur
day up to that hour , but a numbei
of vessels loaded with merchandise
were reported to be racing to get
into our ports by Saturday and
undoubtedly some of them were
successful and the importers fondly
believed that they were safe from
the new duties. Under the treas
ury decision , however , all dutiable
merchandise that came in after
midnight Friday is subject to the'
new law and it is estimated that
the duties involved amount to be
tween $100,000 and $200,000.
Of course the importers will make
a contest. The decision also
means , if sustained , a considerable
sum to the treasury for internal
revenue taxes on beer and tobacco.
So far as we are aware there is
ao precedent for the ruling of the
secretary of the treasury and no
judicial decision to give warrant
: or the ruling. The assumption
; hat it will be sustained is based
ipon the fact that the courts are
generally disposed to make a lib-
jral construction of the law when
he interests of the national treas
ury are affected. With a quarter
> f a million of dollars or more in-
olved and public sentiment on the
ide of the treasury , it is pretty
afe to predict that the decision
i'ill stand. Omaha Bee.

William Hiersekorn was a Mc

day.
The alkalied fellow continued
sick for a couple of days and was
joked by the other fellows for be
ing a tenderfoot. On the following
Sunday we rode from Pueblo to
Palmer Lake on the train and from
there to Denver on our wheels. At
noon we came to a small inn , at
which we partook of some crackers
and bologna for our dinner , and I
guess that the other fellow ate a
little too much of the bologna , for
we bought a good batch of it and
could not get credit for what was
left. We went along viewing the
country and admiring those large
hills off to the left of us , until we
[ jot within about 15 miles from
Denver , when he took the cramps
md suffered a most wonderful
misery. "We got to a farm house
jlose by and the good Samaritan
jave him some medicine which
ixed him up , and we rode into

ver until Thursday noon , taking in
ill the fine parks , gardens , lakes ,
md then started for home on the
vheels , intending to take the train
hrough the sand hills , but as was
ur luck , we got into them and hade
o get out as best we could. After
raveling in the sand and cactus
or about do miles we came to a
tation on the Burlington and rode
hrough the balance of the hills
nd tried it again as far as Yuma.
? hat night ( Friday ) itrainedmak- ,
ing the roads too muddy to ride ,
so we got tickets to Benkelmangot
off at that place and it commenced
to rain again. This kind of trav
eling raised our dander and we
took the train to McCook. Sun-
duy morning found us once more
from whence we had started , rid
ing , according to our gauge we had
attached , 735 miles.

EDITORIAL NOTES.
AnviCKS from London indicate tha
Great Britain , ns well as France am
other Kuropean nations , has indicate !
to President McKinley's commission 1
willingness to co-operate with theUuitei
States in the holding of another inter
national biuictalic conference. Thesi
gentlemen who have been insisting tha
the United States should jump into frci
coinage at once without any attempt u
internatioal action have constantly as
serted that it would be impossible to ge
the co-operation of European nations
especially that of Great Britain , but re
cent advices from London indicate tin
efforts of the commission are not onlj
likely to be successful as to the calling
of a conference but that it will probablj
be held in the United States attended
by representatives from all the greal
nations of the earth.
The management of the state school
lands is just as important to the tax
payers of Nebraska as the management
sfthe state's permanent school fund.
The temporary school fund , which is ,
annually apportioned among the various
school districts , consists not only of the
ntcrest on the school fund , but also the
rentals of the school lands. By an eco-
lomicnl and business-like management of
hese lands the money available for the
mnual school apportionment can be and
should be materially increased and the
uirdens of the taxpayers for the support
> f the public schools correspondingly re-
luced. Omaha Bee.
Tm ? favorable expressions which have
ollovved President McKinley's desire for
special commission to devise plans for
he reorganization of the currency system
f the country shows that this suggestion
as struck popular chord among the peo-
le , irrespective of party. The currency
roubles of the past two or three years ,
oupled gith the fact that a specially se-
: cted commission from the business
ommunities of the country would be
lore likely to examine all sides of ques-
on thoroughly than could any commit-
: e of Congress , make the President's
Jggestion especially popular and the
ibject of approval generally.
Judge A. M. Post announces that he
will be candidate for renomination for the
office he now holds. This announcement
is a small surprise to the knowing ones ,
as it seems to be accepted that he would
not seek the place. The Judge has been
a good official and deserves the renom
ination. Until court adjourned he did
not think it just proper to talk politics ,
hence this delay in speaking out in meet
ing. Ord Quiz.
A partial eclipse of the sun was visible
here , Thursdav morning , between the
