(Speclnl.)-Honry CIcw3, head of tho banking house of Henry Clows & Co., writes of tho situation In Wall street : Tho country ban pusocil through another of Its quadrennial periods of nn.ilous test. Tho (iiiistloiis on which tho people had to Pronounce their verdict wcro of uuusunl Importance. 'Ihe qunllty of tho nation's money, the powers of the United Htutes KUprtme court lu tho prcFcrvaUon of pub lic orilor, tho liberty of corporations In ro snort to tho exercise of their powers, und the authority of tho fcdcrnl government In relation to ponquered states those nre the main Issues on which tho elections have turned. It Is n matter of profojiid satis faction thnt they h.ivo In en disposed of bv n verdict comprising nearly two-thirds of tho voting population. Th. magnitude of tho majority makes the result of the elec tions n virtual duality upon these much and cnrm-stly debated questions; nnd, to .hat extent, the country Is delivered from nngry nud threatenlnn divisions which havo stood In the way of public confidence unit domestic harmony. Wo seemed to have reached n "parting of the ways" In respect to policies thnt must determine tho political future of the nation; and the hearty agreement of filch n l.irgo propor tion of tho people upon n basis of sottle nient means domcstip peace timl tho strength that goes with hnrmony of public sentiment. What It All .Means. All this means something much more substantial than n transient gratlllcntlon of tho exciting sentiment of victory. It nmoJiitH to n great achievement lu the consolidation of tho republic. It Is n stop forward lu the maturing of our form of government. It Is a great luw-maklng I'd ct. ilono illrecllv lie tin twwmln imil cHttibllshlug precedent! that may stand for generations hs liases of national law nnd policy. This election removes from the horizon controversies which havo sug guested misgivings ns to tho unfolding of our national destiny. For these, with other reasons, tho election of loim Ib one of tho most pregnant In our national history. Its outcomes are exciting profound Interest among the statesmen and financiers of Kuropo. They accept It ns another evi dence of the Hclf.govcrnlmt ability of the American people, about which tiny have so long professed to hato serious distrusts; nnd uro compiled to acknowledge that our 7i),(nmj,) of plain common-senso citizens may bo trusted to construct tho greatest nation of modern times with wisdom und popular harmony. Tho ptnctlcal slgnltlcancn of nil this Is not yet fully realized In the public nilnit. Tho utmost unprecedented transactions on tlio Stock exchange and tho largo advances In the prices of securities express onlv tho llrst appreciation of nn event that Is In Htlnctlve'y perceived to bo of tho llrst Im portance. The ufter-thougllt will attach a still higher Importance to tho red-letter event or last Tuesday. It will be felt to moan much more for our national credit than Is ut present realized, when It Is fully amircclatcil that tho uold basis has re ceived ii popular Indorsement which admits of no reversal, nnd when It Is tunic rstood that tin- new congress may bo trusted to ntlll further eonllrm public ronfldcnce by enactments tlmt will complete tho recon struction of our currency system. It will iilsn bo found to menu something that the great maws of new corporate securities Is iiued within tho last two years will not lie K'.iblcot to factious party legislation In tended to serve mero political ends nnd gratify Ignorant popultstlc tendencies. Tho probability Is Unit congress will recognize tho virtual Impossibility of Its doing any thing effective toward regulating these now organizations, nnd will leuvo them to stand or fall on their Intrinsic merits and on their ability to meet the competition that Is already on all side- nppenrlng. Under their now conditions llieso corpora tions havo sought to evade and extinguish competition; signs aro not wnntlng that, on the contrary, thoy will prove to havo encouraged It, Tim truest policy will prove to bo tlmt of leaving It to finlf-adjustment und to tho legal regulation that is provided under common law. Tho election leaves' tho Philippine situa tion to bo dealt with by tho president nnd cnngresH. When th petiplo voted they jenew tho position ot Mr. McKinley and his party on that problem; nnd It Is therefore to be expected that the pottlemcnt will bo pressed to tin early end. whatever force or outlays that course may Involve. Tho nsult of tho election Is such ns to cause the deepest satisfaction to those who have the best welfare of tho country at heart. It Is nil unequivocal notlre to the world that national lvmor nn l i.te..,'tv nm a lovo of law nnd order go hand In hand In tho United Stntes t'onld.-iico Ii settled upon a rock-ribbed foundation nnd busi ness Is under such nn Impetus us will pro duce phenomenal prosperity. y niMiieet la 1'Ii'IIkIiik. . Wo stand almost upon the threshold -of a new century, with the most brilliant na tional prospect before us. Our currency basis Is put beyond question, trado bal anced are Immensely In our fuvor, and our manufactures uro commanding tho mnrkots of thu world. The education of our peoplo lu found tlnaneliil and business principles during the Inst four yours Is bearing, wo muy ouy, Its natural fruit. This popular ucitunlntiiiu'o with clemeittul principles will beyond doubt prevent any recurrence of duugorous theories lu the conduct of pub lic affairs. It Ii not an experiment to give Mr. McKinley a second term, because V9 hnvo nil had tho gratifying experience of flood times during his first term, whereas, I would have been u very grave experi ment to havo elected the opposing candi date, ns It would hnvo destroyed all con tldenco, which Is tho cssentl.il foundation of prospeilty In th's or any other tuition.

Mr. Hrynn undoubtedly lovsencd his following In this Htato and elsewhere by tho character of his harangues, while Hoosevelt, who was not a presidential nominee, materially benefited tho republican side without In jury to himself by it logical demolition of the dangerous demagogic fnlluclei und un truths.

LAWWILL'rEACH"tHE INDIAN Crimen Committed on the Itrarrvn 1 1on Can lie Ptinlnliril by the t'nttril .NtntrJi Court. SIOUX FALLS, S. D Nov. ll.-MSpocial.) Tho oflleo of tho United States attorney for South Dakota, In this city, has been ad vised of an Important decision of tho fed eral iuprcmo court 'n the case of the United Stntes against (loodjihot, a Sioux In dian, who was convicted lust year In the fcdcrnl court hero of the murder of his divorced wife, Dmlly Goodshot, on the Pino ltldgo reservation, and sentenced to life Imprisonment In tho Sioux Falls peniten tiary. Tint easo was carried to tho United States circuit court of appeals, tho ques tion being raised that thero was no law uprn tho statute books of tho United States providing for I he punishment of Indians convicted of capital crimes committed upon Indian reservations. In the cas.o of Goodshot, who had been Indicted for mur der, tho verdict of tho Jury was "guilty ns charged In tho Indictment, without capital punishment." A writ of error was sued out of tho circuit court of appeals for th? Eighth circuit to review tho Judgment of the-federal court here. Assistant United States Attorney Portor, acting for the gov ernment, moved to dlsmUn the writ for want of Jurisdiction, whereupon tho circuit court of appeals certified to tho federal su premo court on tho facts stnted the follow ing question: "Has this circuit court of appeals Juris diction to rotiew upon writ of error the trial, Judgment nnd rcntcuco of an Indian to Imprisonment for life, founded upon n verdict rendered on a trial of an Indict ment of tho Indian for murder, by which verdict tho Jury find the defendent 'guilty os charged in the Indictment, without capi tal punishment.' " Afterward Goodshot's attorney filed n pe Htlon praying ihat n wr't of certiorari might bo Issued requiring tho entire record and came to bo sent to tho United Slates su premo court from tho court of nppcals. Whllo this matter was pending tho supreme court. In n case originating In Alaska and Involving similar rc-lnt, 'mud d down n de cision holding that a conviction for murder, puntshnble with death, waB not the less a ccnvlctlon for n capital crlmo by rcaron of tho fact that tho Jury, In a particular case, qualified the punishment, and that, In such circumstances, tho suprome court had Juris diction under section fi of tho Judiciary act of March 3, 1S01. providing therefor "in cases of conviction of n capital crime." The supremo court, in tho Goodshot case. decides that tho circuit court of appeals was without jurisdiction and that because of this tho application for a certiorari must bo denied. Tho decision says in part: "In this enso thero la no Judgment In tho circuit court of appeals and tho solo ques tion certified relates to tho Jurisdiction ot that court and it having been determined tl.nt Jurisdiction does not exist, tho writ of certiorari cannot properly be Issued to requlro the court to send up n cnuso over which It hns no Jurisdiction for determina tion on Its merits. The remedy Is by writ of error from this court to the circuit court." Thus the contention of Assistant Attor ney Porter Is sustained by the highest court In tho hind and tho question of whether or not United States courts havo tho power to punish Indians convicted of capital crimes on tho Indian reservations is definitely determined.
