Judge Kf.lley, in a private letter,
a portion of whose eon'ents have been
. made public, declares that the weight
of the silver dollar must be dimin
ished to 390.09 grains, rather than in
creased, before international bimetal
Ism can he est-.ihlhdied in the b.vds
which bus hitherto prevailed through
out the world, namely, 1"J of silver to
t of gold. To adopt another standard
would be to require the reeoiniigo of
all the gold money or of all the silver
money of the world except that of the
United States. The United State
coinage is based on 10 to 1, a relation
in opposition to the coinage in nil
other commercial nation. As Un
united States stands in a hopeless
minority touching the relation of the
metals, Judge Kelley holds that we
must accept t lie universally accepted
ratio and decrease the present stand
ard silver dollar from 412 to 493.99
grains.
Five Indicted.
THE PROSECUTION IN THE FORGERY
CAKE PUSHING THINGS.
New York, Dec. 3. The Grand
Jury In General Session to-day pre
sented indictments against baiiiuel
Sullivan Morey lor perjury and against
Joseph Hart, Louis A. Post, Kenward
l'hilp and Charted A. Byrne for pub
lishing in the paper calhd Truth a
criminal libel upon General Garfield.
If convicted, the penalty is one year
In the penitentiary and a tine ot f 1,
500. The bail given by Phiip alter his
examination by Judge Davis was con
tinued. Messrs. Post mill Hal t came
to tlie District Attorney's Olliee to
give bail this allirnoon, but Judge
Cowing hail gone home, and they
were allowed to go on their own re
spoiisiblity until to-morrow morning,
when they will furnish the necessary
bonds. It is probable that now tluit
Morey has been indicted for perjury
lie will be removed from the House of
Detention to the Tombs. George Hliss
one of the counsel for prosecution,
said, in speaking of the indictments :
"We ure very well satisfied with the
work thus lar done. The indietmen.s
found were all that were asked for of
this Grand Jury. 'J he case is by no
means finisheil. There ure other de
tails to be looked alter, and these will
be brought to the attention of the
nextGiand Jury. Meanwhillethein
dietmeiits alieady found will be
brought to trial at an early day, cer
tainly some time this month'." To
the question, "Was there any con
siderable delay in procuring t'hem?"
he answered: "No more than wus
uece.-sury. There have been no mis
takes made by the prosecution. We
have investigated carefully the various
clues and details, and are still en
gaged in following them up There
will be other developments of an im
j ortant nature made public when the
time conies." Assisiunt District At
torney Bell also expressed himself us
pleased at what had already been ac
complished. "There would," he said,
"be no unnecessary delay in bringing
the cases to trial. Counsel for prose
cution had patiently gone over the
large mass of evidence and there was
no question but that a strong case had
been made out against t lie accused
persons. The indictments against
these men were for forging the letter
purporting to lie written by G.-iieral
Gartield, and for writing and publish
ing an editorial article accusing
General Gartield of lying when he
denied the authenticity of the letter.
The law of libel as applied to this ease
is decided to be very clear. A letter
purporting to be written by Geneial
Gartield was published in the Truth.
Guieial Gal field denied having writ
ten such a letter. The new.-paper then
editorially affirmed tlie geuuiueiiessof
the leitter and declared that General
Garfield lied when lie denied hav
ing written it. Tlie burden of proving
thegcnuiiieuessof the letter then rested
upon Truth. Failing to prove this
the persons indicted must lie convicted
of libel. The fact that the indictments
had been found against so many oi
those connected with the libel occas
ioned no surprise among those eon
veisant with the facts in the case. It
was expected that more would be
found. The reason why they were
not was because counsel for the prose
cution wished to work up still further
developments wineli point to .Mary
land and Massachusetts. These de
velopments implicate at least two
members of the Democratic National
Committee, who will probably find it
difficult to explain their actions in tlie
mutter of the forged letter when called
upon to do so in u court of J ustice. It
is believed that some one who had ac
tress to the Grand Jury room gave lo
some pel-son connected with TruthUm
details of all the important testimony
concerning the Morey letter soon after
it was laid before the jurors. An effort
will be made to prevent this when the
next Grand Jury meets. Proof of this
is shown by the fact that one of the
counsel for the defense went before
Juoge Cowing and wished to oiler hail
for bis clients helore the indictment
bad been presented to the Court. It
is still believed that l'hilp was tlie forger.
Railroads and (he rubllc.
Phllmlelphln Press.
Ap the time for the reassembling of
Congress and Htnte Legislatures up
proachesthe railroad problem discussed
so much last winter comes again to
the front. The principal grievances
of shippers nre that tlie railroad com
panies do not treut them with equality,
discrimination being practiced both
airniint communities and individuals;
that rates are suddenly and arbi
trarily changed with ruinous eftcet on
their business; that charges are deter
mined lv the new principle of "what
the traffic will bear," which In effect
compels producers to divide their pro
fits with the companies. Instead of
paying only reasonable rates bused on
the old rule of "cost of service "
That these complaints are well
founded, has been fully proven, and
In fact, is not denied. Tlie great hard
ships which these practices of the rail
road companies entail; their inequity
and radical incompatibility Willi the
Interest of the public, have been so
often ami fully set forth that it is un
necessary to re yen to them. The evil
Is admitted to exist, but how can it
be cured, or can it be cured at all?
Has Congress or the State Legisla
tures or both authority to Interfere?
Il they have, in what 'manner and to
what extent can they exert this au
thority without doing injustice to the
tin in -a 1 1 companies ami perhaps caus
ing more mischief than they cure?
Tlie New York Chamber of Com
merce has become conspicuous for the
zeal and earnestness with which it
seeks to relieve shippers from the
oneorus exactions ot the railroad
companies, or at least the excessive
power which they now possess to
make or mar tlie business of their
patrons in pursuance of this pur
pose it sent a circular letter lo men of
prominence and position throughout
the country, containing a scries of
questions and a request for their
views on the points involved. The
reply returned by Jwlire Jere S. Black
is a valuable contribution to the liter
ature of I his vexed railroad question.
The position there laid down as to the
legal status of railroads, though haed
on rather venerable decisions, lias
nevertheless an air of decided
novelty.
The claim made in behalf of the
iiiilroad corporations that the roads
are their private properly, which they
have a right to manage as they please,
is clearly untenable. It was laid
down two hundred years ago by Cl iel
Justice Hale that when private prop
rrtv is nll'i ctcil with a public, interest
it ceased to be merely private property
'1'lils is gi.iHl law to-day. It lias been
reaffirmed by the United .Stales .su
preme Court, which declared in a re
cent cac that where private property
is devoted to public use it is subject to
public regulation. It is on this princi
ple that banks, bridges, wharves, fer
ries and turnpikes have long been sull
ied to legislative regulation, and rail
roads clearly come within the same
category. Judge Black, however, is
not content to rest the authority of
the Legislature over railroads on ' this
narrow basis, in bis view a railroad
is not private property allcctcd with a
public use, but it ispnb.ie property in
which the railroad corporations have
no proprietary right, title or claim, but
a mere franchise annexed to and ex
ercisable thereon.
A railroad, the Judge argues, is a
public highway laid out and built by
the authority of the Stale for the pur
pose of commerce. It is immaterial
whether the State builds this road at
Iter own expense or delcgali s her tak
ing and taxing power to a corporation;
in eitiier ease the road heliums to the
State and all people have a right to
use it upon compliance with the ne
cessary regulations and payment of
the proper tax. This premise being
grunted, several inipi. riant conclus
ions irresistibly follow. If a railroad
is a public highway tlie amount of the
tux, toll or freight is not a matter ot
bargain between shipper ami corpor
ation, but a thing to be lixed by pub
lic authority. '1 he vested riyhts of
the corporation are limited to the
privilege of taking a fixed, reasonable
and uniform rate lor all persons alike,
according to the Use they make of the
roa I. If the r.iilro.i 1 lielo'i to Un
people the riitht of all citizens
are equal and discriminations are un
lawful. Without questioning the soundness
nf Judge Black's reasoning we eon
siiler it fortunate that a just solution
of the railroad problem need not await
the general acceptance of his views.
The power of the National or State
Governments to restrict railroad
charges, prevent discrimination, pro
hibit the granting of rebates, and com
pel some permanency and iinil'oi inity
of rates is sufficiently well settle-'
without assuming that railroads are
public property. Unless the railroad
companies themselves forestall action
ami yield to tlie just demands of the
public on the points indicated this
legislative pnwtr will almost certainly
be called into requisition. Whether
it would be exercised wisely or fool
ishly is impossible to foresee. It is
perhaps vain to look for any conces
sions from the railroads 'liie sphere
of the State Legislature is too re
stricted for any eifeotive action on
tins subject. 1 lie only resource is in
Congress. Tlie evils "to be remedied
arc patent. The danger, however, is
that the ad vocates of railroad regula
tion will defeat their own purpose by
endeavoring to accomplish too much
at once.

applied to General Arthur, two years
ago, for a custom-house appointment
for her; but as there was no vacancy
and the Secretary of tlie Treasury was

female Inspectors, there was notiiiuu
left lo her but to wait. When the
Secretary was last in New York he
was in formed of Mrs. Wilson's hero

that while under ordinary circum
