The Indian bureau has received a dispatch from Atrent Tetor saying there is absolutely no truth in the report of a massacre the Jackson Hole settlers. of v THE SIOHV AS TOLD. Every Person at Jackson's Hole was Kill ed According to tile Beport Denvkr, Col., July '27. The News lias the following- from its correspond ent at Market Lake, Idaho: M. J. Grajr, h. M. Earl and Senator Hamer of Illinois, and T. R. Hamer of St. Anthony, all left St. Anthony Wednes day morning' on a fishing1 trip to Jack son's hole, taking no stock in the Indian scare. To-day they are back and report every man, woman and child in Jackson's Hole murdered. One of the News' couriers just re turned got far into Teton basin, which, is the present point in danger of mas sacre now that the Jackson Hole citi zens are all butchered. He reports that the smoke of a large lire can be seen several miles south of the Grand Teton in the direction of Jackson's Hole. There is no doubt that the redskins have fired every home and cabin there and by morning- they will be repeating1 their Work this side of the Teton range in Teton basin, and perhaps after that nil down the Teton river valley in Idaho. Two hundred Utes wei e re ported to have gone north to? in the Indians in Iloback basin early this week. Small parties of Lemhis have been slipping in daily across the Co nant trail, something they have not ventured to do since the Yellowstone national park was enlarged in 1891. People in St. Anthony, Roxburg and other towns located in Idaho between the railroad and Jackson's Hole have been all along placing no confidence in the "Indian scare," as they called it. Excitement Is Intense. Pocatei.i.o, Idaho, July 27. William Ross .of the firm of Ross, Grey Wy att, has just arrived at Market Lake from St. Anthony, and reports every body at J .ckson's Hole killed. It is considered authentic news, and excite ment is intense. United States troops from Cheyenne will arrive in this city in the morning and will leave immediately for Market Lake, and thence by wagon, road for the Fall river country. Courier Sargent arrived in Market Lake this morning from the vicinity of Jackson's Hole. He left a compan ion in the country, who intended to proceed into the Hole, if possible, and return with all the news. He is ex pected at Market Lake to-night. Sar gent reports all the passes guarded, and is afraid his companion win. not be able to obtain entrance. A CORRESPONDENT'S STORY. Fears that United States Troopi May be Ambushed and Killed. Dester, Col., July 27. Tne News cor respondent at Market 'Lake makes the following personal report: "I left here hue Wednesday night de termined to verify the rumor brought in by the stage driver that a fii;ht had oc curred and that many whites had been killed. After riding 80 miles my horse gave out. i was lucky enough to meet a Teton basin settler whose brother is with the posse in Jackson's Hole and when I told him that I feared the whites had been trapped by the redskins in Ilo back canon, Tuesday, the UoJ, he agreed to go on as far as he could and report particulars to ma nere lomgnt. -i Bin couuuem ne never win cross into Jackson's Hole, for Indian scouts are watching Teton pass. I now believe it will require more troops. I am confi dent a tne troops to arrive here tomor row attempt to go through the Uoback canon trail, thev will meet the fate of the citizeus of Jackson's Hole who went into that Indian trap, if they did as they told both Adjutant General Stitzer and myself they would do Tuesday morning last. "Iloback canon trail can only be fol lowed single file, and going into some of the numerous fords of the Hoback river a horse will slip and slide for fifty feet. Ihe trail is full of sharp angles and sudden turns. Eighteen miles east of the junction of Hoback river and the Snake river the canon, opens out into Hoback basin, which is about eiirht miles bv four with fine grass and spring water all over it. 4.T. now me greatest resort lor an telope in summer of any place in Ameri ca. Going south from Jackson's Hole the Iloback basin trail runs through the looming tor 13 miles before reaching tne iiouacs river and canon, where think the Jackson Hole people were am bushed Tuesday. I have received relia ble information that only the day before the contemplated Indian fizht the posse on viio nuio were disagreeing among themselves, on everything but their fool- naray trip tnrougu Hoback canon after tne Indians. "That they would not agree on a lead- Y. 1 l cr, uau no reai systematic organization, auu several were so excited that they would probably fire all their ammunition ftway as fast as a Winchester would WIS work. I know there are several men in Jackson's Hole that wiil shoot straight and remain cool, but they are overbal anced by the rattle brained, but if these men have been picketed by the Indiana, as I fear, they have fought to the bitter end, one and all." The news courier, Seymour, arrived at Market Lane at ;midnight, after having riddan 150 miles, and reported as fol lows: "On Wednesday Robert Miles, a cat tleman living at Jackson's. Hole, came out of Teton basin bringing his wife and two siBters. The Hole men did not go into Iloback canon as they planned and told General Stitzer they would do on Tuesday, They, however, sent twenty scouts out to locate the Indians and one scout re ports his saddle horse was stolen by the Indians and he was ambushed two days in the timber. If the reinforcements from Lander got into the Hole Wednes day they intended going down into Ilo back basin at once. "The scouts report the Indians camped on the ground where the Indians were killed on the 14th inst There were signal fires on -Conalt creek, nndoubtedly lit by Lcmhia. Thirty-fiv8 men left the Hole Tharsday afternoon to meet a posse coming over from Green river to help thtm by way of Groa Ventre pass. Lemhi Indians ran out some miners Thursday afternoon from the head of North Teton river into the basin." It would seem that the Hole people are contented to remain in their fortifica tions in Jackson's Hole now they know cavalry is coming. The Teton basin people have fortifications at the month of Trail Creek canon, and they too are now content to 6tay in there. Sheriff Warner of Fremont county Idaho, calls on the state for arms and amunition. MASSACRE NOT CREDITED. Washington Oftic'als Do Not Believe the Reported Killing. Washington, July 27. A dispatch sent by Agent Tetor of the Fort Hall, Idaho, Indian reservation from Idaho Falls shortly after midnight, was re ceived at the Indian bureau today. It stated that the agent had joined General Coppinger en route to the scene of trouble. Messengers sent from the agency to the Bannocks have returned from Jack sou's Hole and report that the Indiana will not resist arrest. 'lhe dispatch makes no mention of the reported wholesale massacre at Jackson's Hole, and little credence is given the massacre story by bureau offi cials. They eay that in the event of ruch a massacre the bureau would have been immediately informed by the gene ral or his representatives. W. W. Tetor, brother of Agent Tetor, arrived in Washington yesterday from Idaho, where he has been visiting his brother. He left Fort Hall July 11. He does not credit the stories of the massacre nd thinks the whole matter is much ex ggerated. 1'he first news received at the agency of the trouble was from a quaw-man at Jackson Hole, who rather derided the efforts of the settlers to en force the game laws. Writing on July 14, he said that the ustice of the peace had been issuing warrants and the constable serving them and that so far they had arrested one blind Indian and two pappooses. Only nine Bannocks were reported in the Jackson Hole district at that time. Mr. Tetor says the trouble comes from the settler3 who have been acting as guides to parties of Yellowstone park ourists and from the white hunters. He denies positively that Indians kill game wantonly or wastefully, and says the white hunters and guides kill elk. use what they can at the moment, and leave the rest to spoil. Wheu the car cass is found, the whites charge it to the Indians. "When an Indian kills an elk," con cluded Mr. Tetor, "he takes and uses all of it, hair, meat, hoofs and horns, lhat is his nature." Indians in Utah Stirred Up. Salt Lake, Utah, July 27. Quint Panqueutch, an Indian known through out Utah,1 was shot and killed at Pan queutch lake up ia the mountains ihursday by a man named Haegelsted. The verdict rendered was accidental death, but the Indians in that vicinity ar anything but satisfied with the case as it now stands. Ihey are quite numer ous around the lake which is an isolated place, and they may make serious trouble for the settlers. TWELYE PILGRIMS KILLED A Disastrous Railroxd Wreck at SU Breuc. Tn prance. Paris, July 27. Further details have been received here from St. Breuc in regard to the wreck of the train crowded with pilgrims returning from the shrine ofSt-.Dauray yesterday. The accident, it appears, was due to to the derailment' of the engine. Twenty-four carriages were thrown on top of each other and six of them were completely wrecked. lhere was a terrible scene after the disaster. Twelve mutilated corpses have been extricated from the ruins and 50 persons were injured. Of this number 20 people are seriously injured. W E R E NOT REBUFF E D. MUs AVillard Iriil That the British Government Affronted W. C. T. V. London, July 27. Lady Henry Som erset and Miss Frances E. Willard, in a written statement have asked the Asso ciated Press to record the fact that "It is not true that we have been rebuffed by the government in our attempt to pre sent the polyglot petition as stated in the American papers. We have not attempt ed to approach the government at all, but wheu we do, at a more settled pe riod, there will be no doubt a most cour teous reception, as we have half a mil lion and more names of British sub jects." International Cfo -raphical Congrreas London, July 27. Tne sitting of the International Geographical congress was opened this morning. Mr. Clements Markuam, president of the geographical society, in the opening address said that the chief point for consideration would be the urgency of adopting more vigor ous and precise methods of surveying in future exploration.

NOT AS MERE JOINTS But Regularly Appointed Sa loons With Bars. An Italian Foreigner Named Ghio the Leader AMONG THE VIOL ATORS He Xotta Cara for da Law. Kansas What Will the Governor When He Hears of It? Do Saloons are running wide open in Atchison once more. While Governor Morrill has been giving his attention to Wichita, Atchison liquor men have opened up their saloons again, find are doing business just the same as before the governor ordered thnm closed. Several Topeka business men have been in Atchison this week, some of them looking after the contracts being let for the new buildings at the boldiers' Orphans'Home and some on other busi ness and they all agree that the Atchison saloons have been doing big business this week. Mr. H. C. Streeter, of the Kansas Viavi company, was in Aichison two days this week, and he today said to a State Journal reporter: "The saloons are just as wide open in Atchison as they ever were. I was in Atchison two days and two nights, and I know what I am talking about I stopped at the Byrum and the bar of that hotel is open, and from what I saw is doing a big business. Across the street from the Byram, Ohio's big wholesale liquor house is open with a bar running in the back eud. "I saw with my own eyes six or seven other saloou8 open and doing business on the principal streets and 1 don't know how many in all are running in the town. "There has been a big crowd in town this weak attending the races at the fair grounds, and those who were at the races did not have to go to the saloons in town to get a drink. 'Beer was sold on the fair grounds under the grand stand, and there was lots of it sold. There were several open fights in front of the beer stand on the fair grounda" The Atchison police commissioners re ceived their orders from Governor Mor- rill to close the saloons just a month ago I today, but they could not stand the press ure and the saloons did not stay closed thirty days. When the governor ordered the saloons closed he said if the present commission ers did not succeed in keeping the sa loons closed he would appoint others who would keep them closed. The governor went to his home at Hiawatha yesterday afternwon and could not be seen about the matter today. The following was the order of the governor closing the saloons at Atchison: Executive Office, Topeka, June 27, 1895. J David Baker and Captain Carpenter. Members of 1'olice Commission, Atchison, Kan.: Dear Sirs: It is represented to me that no attempt is made to enforce the prohibitory law, the law against gam bling, or the law against houses of ill fame in your city; that new saloons are springing up; that a number have been started within the past thirty or forty days, ipe oojec oi a ooaiu o. p. commissioners is the enforcement of the i j c i law. I shall expect you to fir. vnnr full duty. I am willing to give you fair, reasonable time to enforce the law. If in that time you do not succeed, I shall endeavor to find some one that can en force it. Yours truly, E. N. Morrill, Governor. BICYCLIST DAMAGED. A Man in a Bngruy Bunt Over a Man on a Bicycle. As F. H. Anderson of the Santa Fe general freight office was turning the corner at Sixth street and Kansas avenue last evening he was run into and knocked down by a man in a buggy. The buggy and horse passed over Mr. Anderson and demolished the wheel. Anderson was hardly hurt, except lhat he will be out about $20 for repairs to the wheel. The man in the buggy did not even stop to inquire who he had run over or whether or not he was hurt. Making Fan of Chicago. London, July 27. Newspapers here are making merry over the Chicago city council's ordinance regulating the dress of bicyclists and tricyclists, and made sarcastic reference to the "saintlineas of Chicago." Referring to the subject the G'obe asks if this is the result of Mr. William T. Stead's denunciation of Chi cago's morals. The St. James Gazette commenting on the same subject says; "Public morals must be preserved, es pecially in moral Chicago." 5i. "V. Weekly Rank Statement. NewYobk July 27.

A great many Americans whose minds run to politics took advantage of the elections in Lon don to study the manner of conducting them as compared with the American methods. Among the Americans were two who probably know as much about elections as any others in the United States. One was Richard Croker. From the little that Mr. Croker saw he is of the opinion that there is just as much corruption in London as there ia in any Americau city. "The only difference," said Mr. Croker, "is that the newspapers here dare nor. speak of any corruption if it existed. I am inclined to believe that if the papers had the license that the American pa pers have, and had as enterprising re porters as our American newspapers have, theie would be just as much scan dal as is stirred up in American cities."

GOLD MEN'S FIGURES. Mr. Harvey Says They Can't be Relied On. Says Mr. Horr's Arguments Are j the Bulwark of Tyranny. Chicago, July 27. The last day of the Harvey-Horr silver contention began this afternoon. Mr. Horr opened the day's talk with a comparison of the i wages and the cost of products during I the years from I860 to 1890 aa shown in j the ijle prepared by Statistic! aa Carroll D. Wright I With wages and prices in 1850 taken as the index or 100, it showed that in 1890, prices were 92; wages 159, and the j purchasing power of wages 172. Mr. i Horr proceeded to argue that at no time in the history of the nation was the coun try as prosperous as it was at that time, in spite of the "crime of 1873." j He submitted that these statistics were more applicable to the conditions i under discussion than those of Mr. I Sauerbeck, quoted by Mr. Harvey on Thursday, as Mr. Sauerbeck's figures were made from prices in England. Mr. Harvey in turn took up the matter of the prices of wheat for a series of year3 in reply to Mr. Horr's statement on Thursday that the farmer had received as much for his produce in gold as he had received before silver was demone tized. For answer he quoted the prices from year to year. He declared that the arguments of Mr. Horr were those which had been used in all time to bulwark tyranny. The declaration of independence was the proper answer to such arguments.- ir. Harvey proceeded by saying that the proper index of prices was to measure them in articles of international uses. Tables made up by gold men even, on these articles, showed that they were lower than iu 185 Referring to Mr. Horr's argument touch ing the measure of value in human toil, Mr. Harvey quoted from an article by Mr. Horr in a New York paper in replying to a correspondent suggesting the making of bo much work the equiv alent of a dollar.

The Richland Paper Tells About the Cloudburst iu Southern Shawnee County Reports of the cloudburst in the south ern part of the county, on the 17th, which flooded Richland, have been pub lished in the Journal in a desultory manner from time to time. The Rich land Arsosy of Thursday gives an inter esting account of the flood's damage. It Bays that 10 inches of rain fell, and water from 1 foot to 40 inches deep flowed through the streets of .Rich land. The Argosy says that forty years ago when the valley was first settled, "the Indians when the waters raged violently in the ordinarily peace ful Camp creek, would join their pale faced neighbors and point their fingers to the waters and then from one bluff to to another. This intimation of high water was given no credence by their white brethren and regarded as only the rucbtrof a vivid imagination, liut to day it is a stern reality which forces the truth upon us, that there is such a thing as water from hill to hill." The Argosy says: "Since the water has cleared away, so we know where we are, it is found the damage to Richland is great. The injury to crops will proba bly not be so large as was estimated last week, but the condition of the roads leading to town are such that business is largely impaired. The Wakarusa bridge being down, is a great injury to trade. The old ford below is being used, but the banks of the river are so bad that it is even hard work for a team to pull an empty wagoa up them." Houses andstores were flooded. Among the principal sufferers was the drug store and residence of L. W. Blaisdell. The drug store had 12 inches of water in it, and a large amount of herbs, barks, med icines, eta, were practically ruined. The residence had 18 inches of water. Scores of carpets in the houses were ruined by water. WILL BE DRY AS A KILN. The Saloons Will Bo Kept Tight in New York Tomorrow. New York, July 27. "It will ba dry aa a kiln tomorrow." was the remark make by Acting Chief of Police Conlin when he was asked today how the excise law would be enforced in the city. Chief Conlin said that he would not give inspectors any additional instruc tions as to how the law should be en- -forced. He added: "My instructions to the men were plain from the first, and I know of nothing to add to what I havo already said. I shall see to it that the men carry out my instructions, and I ex pect that the law will be enforced to- morrow as it has never Deen eniorced do- fore." The city vigilance league members will all be about the city tomorrow and there will be few saloons in the city which will not be visited some time during the day or night. Commissioner Roosevelt has assured the secretary of the leagoethat i the board will co-operate with the league and that wherever a violation of the law was discovered it would be considered against the police captain of the pre cinct. i SMUGGLED GLOVES. Oregon Postal Officials Find Them in Packages of Papers. Officials connected with the Postoflica Department of this city have discovered a neat attempt to swindle the United States Government by smuggling- kid gloves into this city and escaping the payment of duties. Some time since a sudden increase in the newspaper mail between Hong Kong, China, and this city became apparent, says the Port land Oregonian. It was surmised that certain persons had become interested in the Japan-China war and were being supplied with news papers containing full accounts of the war's progress, ami the first lot of papers was delivered without question. Last Saturday thera was another batch of papers received, many of them bein addressed to women in the city, and the suspicions of the postofRce authorities were aroused. Collector Black, of the cus toms service, was informed of the sus picious nature of the packages, and thirteen of them were turned over to his custody for investigation. It is re quired, when tht postal officials have cause to think that the mails are being used for the purpose of smuggling con traband goods, that the package under suspicion must be given to the Collec tor of Customs, and the party to whom the same is addressed must open tha same in the presence of the customs of ficials for inspection. On Saturday a. woman to whom a number of apparent newspapers had been sent called at the Custom House to receive the same from the Collector if they passed inspection after being opened and examined. Within the folds of the papers two pair of kid gloves were found, and examina tion of other bundles resulted in similar finds. The gloves were all confiscated by the Collector, and will be sold at auction in due time. The woman stated to the Collector that she had an Idea who sent the gloves, but she refused to disclose any names, and there Is no law to compel her to do so. IS either can the party sending the gloves be molested, and the only thing that the Government can do is to seize the goods. The gloves are of ordinary make, coming in a variety" of shades, but those who have been re ceiving presents from such sources will find the supply of gloves now cut off, as every package of papers will be in spected. The duty on kid gloves is 19 per cent of the value at port of impor tation, and in amount the money whicfc the Government has lost is a trifle. Onr Homes at Atchison.

STATE JOURNAL SATURDAY EVENING JULY 27, 1895. THE TAYLORS THREAT lamaging Testimony. Against the Alleged Murderers. They Would Get Meeks Out of the Way. NELLIE MEEKS THERE. The Little Girl Appears in the Court Eoom. Caeroixtout, Mo., July 27. There was a good attendance of spectators when the Taylor case was again called yesterday morning, although it was not so large as on the previous days. Prominent among the audience were a number of handsomely dressed ladies. The first witness was M. S. Bennett. He said that William Taylor told him that he knew what Meeks came back from the penitentiary for, and that he (Taylor) would get even with him. L. B. Phillips also testified that Will iam Taylor told him that they (the Taylors) would have to get Meeks out of the way; that they would get him out of the way if they had to kill him. Mrs. iSallie Carter was the principal witness for the state. As ehe took the stand Xellie Meeks, tastily attired in a white dress, wended her way through the crowded bar and took her seat on the lap of P. B. Pierce, prosecuting at torney for Sullivan county. A murmur ran through the court room and Bill Taylor threw an unsteady glance in the direction of the child. She seemed to possess an irresistable attraction for Bill, who stole numerous stealthy looks in her direction during her presence ia the court room, but George was abso lutely indifferent and ignored her presence. Mrs. Carter said that on the morning of the 11th of May, little Nellie Meeka came to her house all covered with blood and straw. A big gash was in the top of her head. She sent Jimmie Carter out to the straw stack, and he went up to a man who was harrowing in the held, and in a minute they both 6tarted for George Taylor's barn. They did not stop at the straw stack. Afterwards Jimmie and the little girl went over to the straw stack. She did not want to tell who the man was that was harrowing, but had to. It was George Taylor. Mrs. Carter said she went over to the straw stack and saw the dead bodies. Jimmie Carter said he told the man harrowing in the field that the little girl had said her little sister was under the straw and -was dead, and asked him to some to help find her, lie said: "Let some one else find her," and took Jimmie to the house with him. Gooch and Gibson then testified as to the wagon and harrow tracks, describing the direction in which they ran. The 1- -stl witness after dinner was Jerry South, and his testimony was strong and to the point. He described in detail the capture and return of ihe Taylor brothers to Missouri. The de fense was unable to shake his testi mony in the least. In the cross ex amination Colonel Hale asked him if he guarded .the prisoners the three days he had them in Little Rock. Mr. South said one night he was away, and left them in charge of another man. Colonel Hale wanted to know where he went that night, and South finally said he went to see his sweetheart. Colonel Hale asked if she was white or colored, and this almost precipitated a row. South was very indignant, and insisted that if the court did not pro tect him from insult he would protect himself, and made amove as if to leave the stand to resent it. Colonel Hale asked him if he was armed, and South said he was. Colonel Hale taid he would not be intimidated by a witness, and witness said he would not be in timidated by an attorney. The court interfered, and peace was restored. South told in detail of the several conversations he had had with the Taylors on the trains coming up. They admitted that they had written' the let ter to Meeks and that they had offered him S1,0(0 to leave the country. They said that they would prove an alibi, that they had taken the Meeks family as far as Stoner's corner and sent them on their way and that they must have been murdered by some one for the money. Colonel Hale conducted the cross examination. South said that Bill told him that they were at the Meeks house on the niht of May 10, but that they were not recognized, as old Mrs. Meeks did not know George and George had gone to the house to re move the family, while Bill remained outside in the dark. He went to Buffalo City without a gun to arrest the Taylors, relying on his ability to get a gun when he got there. "You went to arrest those two des perate men without a gun?"' said Col onel Hale. "You are a brave young man." "I knew I could get a gun when I got there," said South. "How did you know you could get a gun?" "I can get a meal or a gun any where in Arkansas," was the reply, and it took some minutes for the laughter to subdue. Attorney Conkling moved over to where Hale sat and the colonel asked: 'Where were you that night?" "I prefer not to say." Then Conkling made another sugges tion and South tlared up and said: "You had better be careful, Colonel Hale." Conkling asked his famous question once more, "Are you armed, Mr. South?" "It's none of your business," said South, "but I know my rights in this court and if the court cannot protect Del am capable of protecting myself." There was a moment of excitement and smiling fanes sobered down. The court rapped for order, and said to Colonel Hale: "Such language is not permissible in this court. I will not allow the witness to be insulted. Ir. Conkling, I want you to keep out of this cross examination and stop hese side remarks." Then Colonel Hale arose to his feet and apologized for his conduct, saying that it had been suggested and that he had made it jocularly. Several other witnesses were exam ined and all were important. For tha first time the Taylors appeared affected and were frequently in close con sultation with their attorneys. Little Nellie Meeks was around among the lawyers for the state and she is closely watched by the Taylors. New testimony will be introduced to-day.' Among others, Mrs. Frank Leonard, a sister-in-law of Mrs. Will iam Taylor. CHEROKEE BILL AGAIN. He Kills a Watchman in the Federal Prison at Fort Smith. Fobt Smith, Ark., July 26. Chero kee Bill got his hands on another re volver yesterday, and used it in an attempt to liberate prisoners confined in murderers' row of the United States jail. His attempt was a bold one and resulted in the death of Larry Keating, the oldest guard on the force. Night Watchman Tom Parker and Larry Keating had just gone on duty and Turnkeys Eoff and McConnell were engaged in locking up. When Eoff reached the cell next to Cherokee Bill's he found the keyhole plugged, and while he was trying to clean it out Cherokee Bill came to the door and fired, shooting Keating through the stomach. He ran to the end of the corridor and fell dead. Eoff ran back to the corrider and the east side of the cells, and McConnell, Parker and several depvty marshals ran in and opened fire on Cherokee Bill whenever he tried to leave his cell. His ammunition was nearly ex hausted and he agreed to surrender his pistol to Henry Starr, which was done. The pistol with which he did the deadly work was a new pearl handled 41-caliDer. .How he got it is a mys tery, but Josie Brown, his sister, who has been here several days and visited him twice, has been arrested for it. and is now in the county jail. Keating has been employed at the jail for ten3'ears and was a careful man. He leaves a wife and four children, besides many other relatives here. He was very pop ular and many threats of lynching have been made, though the citizens, who were terribly excited, are now be coming cooler. Crawford Goldsby, alias Cherokee Bill, alias Corilla, is only 19, but has been convicted of train robbery and murder. One murder case is pending in the supreme court of the United States, and the charge of killing his brother-in-law is still on the docket here. ONE JUROR CHOSEN. Currant's Trial for Murder Promises to Be a Hard Legal Fight. Sax Frastcisco, July 27. On the fourth day of the trial of Theodore Durrant for the murder of Blanche Lamont, the work of choosing a jury began in earnest. Slow progress was made. Of fifteen examined, only one was passed and he may be challenged by the defense later on. The main question of the prosecution to jurors is "would you convict a man and inflict the death penalty on circumstantial evidence?"' The defendant's questions are based upon the familiarity with the news paper comments upon Durrant and the crime of which he is accused. Almost all the jurors summoned have formed impressions which will require strong evidence to relieve. It is apparent the defense will make a hard fight on teeh-n--ilities and will take advantage of every loophole. Counsel for the pris oner lay traps for the judge, with the apparent purpose of leading him into a wrong ruling, which may form the basis of an appeal to a higher couit. The number of well drsed women at the trial increases at every session of the court. Continual efforts are made by girls to lionize the defendant. BOYS FIGHT A DUEL. Jealousy Over a Married Woman Causes a Murder. English, Ind., July 27. Charles En low, .aged 20, is dead and Charles Duffin, aged 18, is dying from the effects of a fight at Marietta. It was the result of jealousy, and the object of their love is a married woman whose name is not known here. The dead man's remains are at the woman's house. Duftin was brought to his parents and, though in a dying con dition, was compelled to furnish bond for SI, 000 to appear upon the third day of the September term of the Circuit court.

ABUSED BY WHITECAPS. Four Masked Men Tar and Feather a Bap tist Minister. Westmoreland. Kan., July 27. At 11 o'clock last, night four masked men took Rev. T. S. Rooks, the Baptist minister of this place, from his home, five miles in the country, and tarred and feathered him. They kicked and beat him in a brutal manner, and he is lying at a farmer's house outside the town in a critical condition. Mrs. Rooks went along with her husband and says she knows the White Caps. She will swear out warrants for them. Excitemeut over the affair runs high. He was accused of trying to assault a young woman. Jail Delivery at Sedalia. Sedalia, Mo., July 27. Three pris oners cleverly made their escape from the Pettis county jail at S: 30 o'clock last night by tunnelling through the floor of the corridor and the founda tion. They were William Findlay, the Otterville burglar, who recently rob bed a Sm thton store; Bob Thatcher, a notorious horse thief, and Jack Thatcher, a forger. The men had half an hour the start before their escape was discovered, and Sheriff Porter and deputies hope to recapture the burg lars. 32 calls up the Peerless. BUSIHESSJSSTEADY. In Spite of the Dnll Season There's Little Shrinkage. Outlook for Manufacturers and Workino-men is Bright. CLOSED WORKS OPEN. The Demand for Textile Fabrics is Much Better. New Yokk, July 27. E. G. Dun Ss Co.'s weekly review of trade says: It is not the season for the tide of busi ness to rise, but there is not perceived scarcely any shrinkage except that which will come naturally with mid summer heat. The volume of new business is small compared withreeent months, but large enough to encour age more openings of long closed works, and more advances in returns to labor. Important strikes show that the advance is not enough for some, but the strikers seem not more threat ening than a week ago. Accounts of shrinkage in the yield of wheat come from both Pacific states and from the Dakotas. It would be a strange and unnatural July without such reports, and yet they have weight enough this year to lead even the most experienced to reduce somewhat their estimate of yield, while the price has advanced three and one-fourth cents. Light Western receipts for the week were not a third of last year's, and for four weeks only 5,366,063 bushels, against 11,953,619 bushels last year, strengthen adverse reports, because the price a year ago was about 20 cents lower than it is now. The West ern movement largely depends on the export demand, which is phenomin ally light, Atlantic shipments for the week having been flour in cluded only 671,561 bushels, against 3,818,996 last year, and for four weeks only 3,500,589, against 9,863,722 last year. Corn advanced 1 cent with wheat, but has since lost all of the gain. Cotton has remained unchanged at 7 cents, although the latest reports favor larger estimates of the yield, a circular by N eill going much beyond other figures. Textiles have a better outlook with larger demand, both for cotton and woolen goods; a shade advance in print cloths, and in most bleached goods, and a more hopeful market for light weight woolens, which, if scarcely ad vanced beyond last year's prices, are on the whole selling better. Enor mous sales of wool,44,788,S64 pounds in four weeks, far exceed actual consump tion, but reflect belief that the prices will not decline, and the few changes this week have been upward. Scarcity of domestic wool in Eastern markets is in part due to heavy specu-, lative withdrawals Failures for the week were 202 in the United States, against 249 last year, and twenty-seven in Canada, against thirty-nine last year.

THE WALLER CASE- Ambassador Eustis Makes a Second De mand to See the Fx-Kansan. Washington, July 27. The officials of the state department are at present anxiously awaiting information from Ambassador Eustis as to the manner in which the second demand for the record of the Waller court martial, which was held in Tamative, has been received in France. It is now learned definitely that the French government refused to furnish the record upon the first presentation of the request, and that this refusal was met on the part of the state department by a more positive and pressing demand for all the pa pers. The department is informed by .Mr. Eustis that this demand has been presented. There has been quite a sufficient time for a reply, but none had been received. The course of the French in their refusal to supply the record is considered most unusual, and as no explanation was vouchsafed the department is at a loss to know upon what grounds it was based. There is good reason for believing that in case of a second refusal by France to supply the record, a third de mand will be made more peremptory. The state department authorities con sider the ease as one of importance be cause it is liable to develop some very delicate and intricate questions before it shall finally be disposed of. GREAT STORM IN JAPAN. Six Vessels Blown Ashore and All Ex cept One Believed to Be Wrecked. Philadelphia, Pa., July 27. A vio lent hurricane was reported to-day by cables from Japan, in which many ves sels and their crews were lost. The cablegram was sent from Ruschinotzu. The German steamer Helen Rickmers and the Norwegian steamships Lyderhorn and Herman Wedel, Jarlsburg, the British, steam ship Bentala and the MajSTselsochet from Philadelphia were all blown ashore, and all are believed to have been totally wrecked except, the Ben tala. The loss of life on shore is reported to be large. JAMES R. KEENE. Scltoelmaster, Millionaire, Bankrupt and Millionaire Again Love For His Horae. Special Correspondence. New York, July 15. Nobody seems to know just how much money James R. Keene has, but it is agreed by his friends that he is rich. At the lowest es timate, they say, he is worth $3,000, fl00; at the highest, $10,000,000, and the chances are that the right figure lies somewhere between the two. Keene's friends are also agreed npon two other matters concerning him first, he is likely to keep his present fortune sec ond, of his divers possessions the speedy horse Domino is held by him in higher regard than almost anything else. He is apt to fret more about that horse than about the most important deal in stocks, and when the result of a race in which Domino is entered is defeat Keene is cast down into the very depths. Keene's career has been as interesting as the most skillfully written romance. When he was a young man, he taught school for some years on the. Pacific coast. Of course his wages were small too small indeed to enable the "average young man" to much more than live on them. But it was while he was a school teacher that Keene saved money enough to make his first start in life. Some of his pupils were the children of men who oftentimes made ten times as much in one day by a lucky speculation as the clear headed, thrifty pedagogue could in a whole year. With these fathers Keene became a favorite, and as soon as he had managed to save up enough to make a modest venture in the specula tive field he made it. I am not not sure as to the nature of his very first venture, but the first which attracted general attention had to do with the stock of the Bonanza mines, which was away out of sight then, being quoted above 500. Keene thought it must come down, and he put up what litla Via bsrl r is made and saved maae ana savea gr and began to sell 'T t .r? Bonanza cfvIr More than that, he borrowed all he could get for the same pur pose. His friends JAmzs k. keene. thought him daft. But the outcome 6howed how sound had been his reason ing, for Bonanza soon began to decline. Once started, it went down on a run, finally reaching the pitiful figure of 25 or thereabouts. Through the entire course of the collapse Keene bought and sold, bought aiid sold, doubling his money over and over again, and when the bottom was reached he had wads and wads of money. His winnings must have been a round $3,000,000. Now, many men, including the pres ent writer and probably most of his readers, would have been well satisfied to rest right there and enjoy the $3,000, 000, but it was not so with Keene. He was not satisfied. He thought he had proved his judgment and his ability as a fighter. He could see no reason what ever why he should not make some more millions, and he came to New York to do the trick. Keene is a man of abundant nerve even now. Then his nerve was like steel tempered to the hardness of the dia mond, for he decided before ever leaving California not only that he would make plenty of money in New York, but that he would make it out of Jay Gould. When he reached New York, Keene found his fame ahead of him. People of all sorts were talking of him as the poor schoolmaster who had metamorphosed himself into a millionaire by selling something he never owned. It was expected by "the street" that he would here proceed on a plan sim ilar to that adopted on the slope in whatever operation he undertook, but he didn't. At first he took things easy for him. Then he got up a corner in wheat with the idea that he could down Gould in that way. As the ex-schoolmaster bought the price went up day after day. The people watched, and Keene smiled in the anticipation of the triumph certain soon to be his, but Gould said nothing. All the time, how ever, the great railroad and telegraph magnate was "sawing wood" indus triously and persistently. After awhile Gould began more open operations. They were very similar in plan to those by which Keene had made his millions out of Bonanza stock. Gould sold wheat day after day, day after day, and order ed it sold all over the country. The re sult was bad for Keene. It broke the corner and ruined the schoolmaster. Plenty there were who believed his ruin was permanent, but Keene was not among that number. Those who knew him then say he was not as badly affect ed by the smash as he is now whenever something happens to Domino. It was through the Vanderbilts that Keene got on his feet again. He had done something that redounded to their interest when he first came east, and they loaned him some money, though he was able to offer no security. With this money Keene laid the foundation of his present fortune, though it was years before he was able to count him self a millionaire again. When he came east, Keene used to wear a long tailed milk white overcoat, and in many other ways encouraged the people to talk about him. Now he is past that, as he is also past further plunging in such a manner as to risk a second downfall. AL L Dexteh. How to Make Cheap Root Beer.

STATE JOURNAL,, SATURDAY VEXING, JULY 27, 1895. EilGLISH-ilST BET. Anti-Gambling Men Turned Down in the Elections. Turfites and Sporting Newspa pers Make a Fight on Them. HAD A BLACK LIST. Tne Sporting League Had a List of the Anti-Gamblers. Racing Men Thus Defeat 13 of Their Opponents. London, July 27. Election results show three Unionist gains out of four elections. The election at Newmarket was one of the most interesting of the whole session. The victory of Air. Hugh MeCalmont, the well known sportsman and one of the owners of Valkyrie III, and the ousting of Sir George Newnes by such a strong majority is a great vic tory for the turfites. Sir George was a prominent leader of the anti-gambling league, and conse quently Newmarket, which depends upon racing, was easily stirred up against him. It was a good chance of wiping out Sir George's majority. The Bporiing newspapers vigorously entered into the campaign in favor of MeCal mont, declaring that Newmarket would be ruined if Sir George Newnes and his selfishness had their way. The Leicester racing authorities did their best to assist MeCalmont by arrang ing to finish the racing there early yes terday in order to enable the racing men to return to Newmarket in time to vote for MeCalmont. When the general elections began the sporting league was formed against those candidates who supported the anti-gambling agitation, and a black list was drawn up with the result that their efforts have been the defeat of thirteen anti-gamblers, namely: Messrs. Nacroji, Conybeare, Metcalf, Dun, Paul, McDon ald, Bayley, Kierhardie. Morton, Major, Jon-a and Sir John Barran. The result in Clackmannshire and Rinrgsshire was as follows: Kr. Hon. J. B. Balfour, Q.

POTT AW ATOMIES ACT UGLY They Frighten Sheriff" Naylor and Others OQ Lhe Itegrryation. Holton, July 27. The Pottawatomie Indians have their war paint on. About sixty anti-allotment Indians held a coun cil after their green corn dance, and de cided that no white man could cut and take away hay off the reservation. The head-right contingent of the reservation sold hay to whites, and the Indian agent L. F. Pearson, gave orders to chief of In dian police, Charles A. Shepard, to ar rest any Indian who interfered with the whites cutting or taking their own hay. Shepard knew the feeling among the Indians and came to Holton and swore out warrants for the ring-leaders of the al lotment Indians, Mat-tuaush-8he,who had eworn to kill the agent and about twelve other officers. Charles Shepard had Frank Naylor, Deputy Sheriff William Ressner, and Indian Policeman John Preston go with him to aid in the arrest. After reaching the reservation the officers found themselves surrounded by 25 to 30 Indians, each Indian having either a rifle, revolver or a tomahawk. Two squaws wanted to handle Charles Shepard, the chief of the Indian police. The officers beat a hasty retreat and came back to Holton and are attempting to organize a posse, but so far have failed. Charles Shepard, Ressner and Naylor are on their way to lay the matter before the Indian agent and expect to call on the government for assistance. The Diminished reserve is eleven miles quare and contains 6J0 Indians. The trouble is over the allotment of lands, and they are very much dissatisfied. The home guards are fearful lest, they be called out to assist in restoring order. GUNS FOR HAWAIIANS. Six Gatling Run Said to Have Been Shipped to KoyalUts. Tacoma, Wash., July 27. Six gatling guns, intended for the use of the Ha waiian royalists are said to be enroute to Puget Sound from one of the eastern states. An agent of the Hawaiian re public told the Northern Pacific officials that he did not think they should carry contraband articles over their road. They smiled and said the road would hael all freight offered. If the guns arrive the agent will notify the custom authorities and ask them to stop their shipment.

There recently dropped into that pretty, peace able town a special Christian evangelist said to be from Illinois and bearing the name of Boles. There is a handsome grove near the city university and Mr. Boles has selected it for his meetings. Every night he preaches there to great crowds, and if reports are true, uses some stirring language. He seems to have been particularly bitter against the races which are to begin there the last of August and said a great many things about the races and their management, and the Recorder, Editor Beck's paper, declares has even gone eo far as to call people "devils" and other things. Recently forty-six merchants of the town signed an agreement to close their places of business on the four afternoons of the races, but Mr. Boles' power has been so great that one-third of them are said to have withdrawn their names. All this led the Recorder to criticise briefly, and now. there is war from Camp bell uuiversity to the creek on the south and from a point three miles west to Reederer's mill. Boles end Beck are now having it "hot and heavy," with -Beck a neck ahead. Boles, however, is doing a very good job of roasting Mr. Beck to the delight of many people who like to hear any body roasted. Mr. Boles charges ten cents admission to the roast on Sundays it is said. Last Sunday he drew 150, and for three Sundays has not taken in less than $100. The church people are trying to get him to stay over the race3 and put in a few touches on the mana gers then. This paragraph in the Recorder of last week is what stirred up all the trouble: "Some who have heard the evangelist are complaining that he denounces pretty nearly everybody and calls people hard names. This is the way he draws an audience. An evangelist who would simply preach the gospel, however elo quent and logical he might be, and neg lect to resort to the trick of seeing how bad he could talk and not be actually profane, would get powerful lonesome over there in the grove, and the gate collections would be so small that tha managers would have to borrow that telescope to see them. Nine-tenths of those who go there get just what they go for, and the other tenth get probably what they deserve for indulging their curiosity, and at the same time trying to make believe that they go to worship and to advance the cause of Christianity."

Narrative of a Singular Experience of Lord and Lady Dnnraven. Apropos o the report that the Bre voort house was to be closed up there Is a story that Lady Dunraven has been known to tell about the famous old inn. The countess is described by those who know her as a woman much more in clined to common sense than to ghost haunted cock lanes, even with Dr. Johnson's authority. She used to tell the facts in the tale simply for what they were worth. It was more than one decade ago, years before the Valkyrie was thought of, when Lord Dunraven was first interested in the mining regions of northern Michigan. He and Lady Dunraven were staying in New York for a few days before starting west and had taken rooms at the Bre voort pleasant rooms with a view of the avenue and a nice glimpse of Wash ington square. The first night, being tired with their voyage, they went early to bed, as It happened, not so early to sleep. Both the earl and countess were blessed with hearty Eng lish constitutions. They were not at all accustomed to lying awake till the small hours. They wondered what they could have done, what they could have eaten or drank to afflict them with such gratuitous vigilance. Just at a venture, finally, they bundled them selves out into an adjoining parlor, made themselves extempore couches there, and slept soundly till morning. Next night and the night after there was the same wakefulness and In the end the same migration to the adjoin ing room for relief. They began to think they should have to leave town earlier than they had planned, for they would not for the world have made any pretext to shift chambers. The ex planation of the mystery, if it was an explanation, came out by chance. They had a call before long from an old time New Torker whom they met in England, an authority on all matters pertaining to the town's history. "I wonder," he remarked casually, "that they should have given you ihese rooms. You know it was in that room that a Mr. X. hanged himself." It was in that room that Lord and Lady Dun raven had tried in vain to sleep, and they exchanged significant glances. Of course it was only a coincidence, they said, but the next day they took their departure for the west. New Tort Tribune. John W. Hioka (Joes to Alaska. Seattle, Wash., July 27. John W.

POLICE GO NOISILY AFTER THEM And They Get Away Considerable Criticism of the Inability of the Police to Step the Snmrroiu Beeent Burglaries anil Daylight House breakings. Burglars are becoming alarmingly bold in the western part of Topeka. The police believe there is a gang to whose operations are attributable all of the numerous bold robberies on the west end. Sometime between 3 and 5 o'clock yes terday afternoon the house of J. W. Thurston, the cashier of the Bank of Topeka, on College Hill, was entered. A diamond stud valued at $75 and several dollars in small change were taken. The house was completely ransacked. Last night about 9 o'clock a burglar entered the house of C. R. Maunsell, at 3i0 Tyler street Mr. Maunsell is the superintendent of the Edison electric light plant. No one was in the house at the time and the robbers entered through the kitchen window. Neighbors heard voices in the house but supposed Mr. Maunsell had return ed. When he did return at about lu:3 J he found his house in a chaotic state. Every drawer and closet had been searched. The only articles missed were a suit of clothes and a hat. The suit was a new one of black clav worsted. People living near Twelfth and Topeka avenue were alarmed last night by an at tempt to burglarize the home of Joab Mulvane at 1133 Topeka avenue. Air. Mulvane is out of the city and the prop erly was left in charge of a colored mau, At about 9:30 Marvin Elliott a little boy who carries milk, passed the house says he saw men peeking in the win dows, and afterwards saw them climb in a back window, lhe f.ict was related to several of the neighbors and an investi gation showed a faint light in the house, which went from one room to another. A telephone message to the police head quarters was sent from the Kansas med ical college, and half a dozen policemen, in charge of Sergeants Douovan and El lison, respondod. The patrol wagon made the fastest run in its history on Topeka avenue from Fifth to Twelfth. With a roar and a rattle that could be heard blocks away the police approached the house. No doubt the burglars, if there were any, heard the approach like that of a Roman army in chariots. The next time the police go after burglars the' ought to take Marshall's band. The house was surrounded and three of the boldest officers entered the house with drawn revolvers. Every closet and corner of the large house was looked in to, and the policemen even looked under the beds and behind chairs. The house was found to be deserted The rob bers, if any, "scented danger" or heard it wafted on the breeze for a mile or two, and had escaped. A Santa Fe conductor who was stand ing near the corner of Twelfth street shortly before the police arrived, says a man passed him ruuning with all possi ble speed south towards the fair grounds. At the time he did not know of tne at tempted burglary and did not take any notice of the man's appearance. Ralph fcquires drug store, which is within two blocks of the Mulvane resi dence, suffered another robbery Thurs day night as told in last night s Journal. The police are making efforts to appre hend the burglnrs, and a few arrests have been made on suspicion. It is to be hoped that the police department will capture the burglars or even one burg lar as their reputation is at stake. Robberies and burglaries have now been going on for two months in To peka, many of them in broad daylight, and no one has been caught. The people are beginning to get restless under what looks like inefficiency on the part of the police. If this were the Populist police, the howl about stupidity and good-for-nothiugness that would go up could not be quieted. As most of the present police patrol men were given tneir places oecause they had done political wors, it looks very much as if they were of more ac count for that than thief-taking. Ability to manipulate ward politics doesn't make a man a good policeman, and the metro politan police board is finding this out. With two men so well posted about the criminal clas-es of the city as Chief Wil kerson and Capt. Gardiner the inability to catch any of these burgl.irs is sur prising; there is no doubt that it is be cause of some fault of the patrolmen who are green at the business. The Journal believes that Chief Wil kerson and Captain Gardiner are the right men in the right place, but the best intentions can be frustrated by inefficient subordinates, especially when those sub ordinates hold their places for political reasons instead of knowledge of the work. A series of over five hundred tests made by public analysts and chemists of prominence throughout the country shows the Royal Baking Powder to be twentyfive per cent greater in leaven ing strength than any of its competitors.

DIDN'T GET A CHANCE. Declares He Conveyed No Dam aging Information. Did Nothing He Should Hare Suffered a Day For. Washington, July 27. Ex-Consul Waller has written a letter to his stepson, Paul Bray, inclosing a copy of the re marks which he had expected to make before the French court martial by which he was tried in Tamatave, but which it appears he did not have an opportunity to deliver. Mr. Waller's letter is dated in the prison at Marseilles, June 12, and was received here a day or two since, through the state department. The document is interesting in that it reveals somewhat more of the details of the offense with which Waller was charged than have yet been made public and also because it contains Waller's version of the occurrence which he has heretofore had no opportunity to give to the public. The document is as follows: To the Honorable Judge: "I do not know whether a word from the accused will have very much weight with you or not, but I thank you for the privilege of speaking in my own behalf. "I am charged with having violated article of the penal code, by corres ponding with the enemy and giving him information s to the movements of the French troops in this place. This charge, I am sure, cannot be sustained nor be lieved by the honorable court when your honors shall have made a careful and impartial examination of the letters to my wife, Mr. Tessie and the young Uova. "I call the attention of the court to the fact that none of these letters refer to any of the movements of the French army in Madagascar or elsewhere. It seems to me that this fact cannot be ig nored or overlooked, which fact alone should warrant an acquittal of the ac cused, because it follows that in order to violate the article of the code under which I am charged it must be clearly proven that the accused has correspond ed with the enemy to the extent of lay ing before him the military movement and operations of the army of the repub lic. "I maintain that the letters now before your honor will admit of no such con struction, when placed under a fair and impartial analysis, which I am quite sure you will do in this case. "It will be found that I refer in these letters to my wife lo certain wrongs done by certain soldiers, whom 1 did not name, becouse unable to do so; but the mention of these has nothing to do with the military operations of the army. In deed I should feel sorry to see an army moving in that way. I am sure your honors would not hesitate to condemn to your wives and friends in the strongest terms all such deeds. "Every gazette in France would con demn such deeds, and I believe that nine out of ten French soldiers in your army would denounce and condemn them. Why then should I be sent to prison for twen ty years for the mention of these wrongs to my wife and friends? The honorable judges will notice that I refer in the let ter to my wife to two assaults upon me by certain soldiers whose names I am unable to give. "As to the first of these attacks I in formed the French authorities, through the acting United States consul. Subse quently the chief of the French police called at my house in Madagascar. Without the clear establishment of which charge I contend that 1 should not be imprisoned even for a day. "I should not fail to call the attention of the honorable judges to the fact that in all criminal matters where one is on trial, charged with a grave offense all the circumstances of the case must be taken into consideration and the accused given the benefit of every reasonable doubt. "The court will see all the extenuat ting circumstances surrounding the case. Again I maintain that the court should ascertain, so far as possible the future intenttions of the accused under a charge of this kind to find if possible whether it in the intention of the accused to remain here, and whether he has actual arrangements with the enemy to assist them against the army of the republic, "The letters and the evidence will show the contrary, which is a circum stance which should be placed in my favor in coming to a judgment in this case. 'The time of my departure from the capital, September 13 or 14, 1894, must not be lost sight of. 1 have explained the Draper and Purdy matter with me, and show how they have robbed and then made a laugh about it, and they have t een paid money by me on contract, which they have never even attempted to perform, which failure haa resulted in a loss to me of more than $10,000. "It is these men whom I actually meant in my letter, and which I desig nated D. and P., having before warned my wife against them, and mentioned them as D. and P., in a postscript to the letter. While it is clear to -me that it was indiscreet to make such mention of them," yet I cannot believe that this honorable court will, after a careful and impartial examination of all the circumstances and facts of this case believe that I have vio lated article of the penal code. "France has always been noted for her love ol justice and liberty, and for her broad and generous treatment of all of whatever nationalitv, and I believe in the careful, deliberate judgment and wisdom cf your honors you will not close the doors cf the world against a man who has never borne arms against you."

Cables this morning were unusally as etonishing and the crowd was duly sur prised at the advance in Liverpool. At first the idea that foreign markets could possibly be higher was scouted by the talent and went so far as to question their authenticity fearing they might be the invention of a wicked New Yorker. However, as no denial was forthcoming, they were compelled to accept them as true metal. On this September wheat made an overnight gain of nearly a cent, but which was not followed up until later on. For about an hour the trading quotations were below 71c. About 11 a. m. the market got a boom on bad crop advices from the northwest. The testimony was from a good source. Early short sellers were driven into a semi-panic, and the price bounded to Hc There was a slignt breating spell here and traders began asking one another if it was not bulge enough. Here the Kansas City Modern Millers in its weekly outlook made some Bullish statements and with furious buying by seaboardlthere was a second upshot this time sarrying Sept to 72 Closing cables came firmer and the bad crop news multiplied. Primary recti were one third of those last year. Export crearance disap pointingly email but did not deter the buying. On all declines wheat should be bought No one however, can consistently advise purchases on today's advance, but on fair conce'ssions wheat il worth the money. Corn and oats A queer state of affairs existed in the corn market Despite the buoyancy in wheat at the opening corn was a weak Bister and refused to follow the leadership of the favorite specula tive cereal Receipts overran the esti mates by some few cars, and this probably was a drawback. Later on though, when wheat began soaring among the pictures, corn could not hold back longer and had a fair advance, clos ing with the improvement well sus tained. Oats participated with corn.

Perhaps the excitable young man holds one of the 25 cent beer tickets and is afraid it won't be cashed. What is to be thought of a law maker who like Representative Eckstein of Wichita will publicly advocate disregard of the lawa already on the statute books? If Mr. Eckstein didn't like the prohibit ory law why didn't he introduce a bill to repeal it last winter, when he had the opportunity? He knew the law and was doubtless conversant with the sentiments of his constituents on that subject. It. seems singular that so much trouble Should result in cities of the first-class and the state administration be worried to death in an effort to permit forty or fifty men in each city to violate the law of the state in order that they may reap a profit therefrom for themselves. Of course they are willing to return a por tion of these profits in the way of a license, to the people from whom they are derived, but there is no pay in that kind of a transaction for the people. A WrcHiTA preacher, Rev. Mr. Fank, started out the other day to assist the po lice in closing up the joints in the "Bserless Princess." When he returned home and went out to feed his horse, he fovind the following from a jointist in the feed box: "If you want men of my busi ness to get out of Kansas so badly, surely you will not regret the loss of your horse. You have lost a horse and a jointist, but you have gained a viotory for God and morality, and you aught to be satisfied." The Rev. Mr, Funk is not satisfied, how ever, and he wants the "jointist" and the horse brought back; the horse at any rate. There is of course no truth in the Btory about a conspiracy in Leavenworth to wreck Gov. Morrill's bank on account pf prohibition. The story started in the Topeka Journal office. Emporia Re publican. The etory started from a citizen of Leavenworth who ought to know what he is talking about. The Journal quoted his exact words; we can not vouch for the truth of the story, but if Gov. Morrill will undertake to enforce the law in Leavenworth it can easily be proved whether it is true or not. Wait for developments. Nearly every "story" the Journal, has printed so far has been proven by subsequent events. Cor. Bird of Wichita wants to go back and make the fight all over again as to whether the state should regulate the liquor traffio or whether it should be left to the churches. He should remem btr that the churches were largely in etrumental in securing the passage of the prohibitory law. They evidently thought they had done all they could in the way of moral suasion. The prohib itory law Fa directed wholly against a very limited number of people who wish to sell whisky for their own personal profit. It does not interfere with the right of any individual to drink as much as he chooses. How, then, can it be classed as an attempt to force morality? Ths gold basis has bean tried nd found to be a failure. The promised prosperity and influx of foreign capital has net material ized. This foreign capital is a great will o' the wisp. It is always just be yond reach for some reason easily ex plained by the "financiers," It might be better to have an adequate system of finance of our own so that foreign capi tal would not be needed, Let congress exercise its constitutional power "to coin money and regulate the value thereof," instead of allowing a foreign country to do the regulating. A totjso woman in New York has been sentenced to death for kill ing her lover who had betrayed her A man can go out and kill the betrayer of a female member of his family, wife, daughter or Bister, and in 99 per cent af such cases he is acquit ted, and the people eay justly. It is the enly protection a woman has. The law does not protect her. When she has no male relative she must submit tamely to uch wrongs or avenge them herself. It is argued, however,' by some that while this woman did right, at the same time she committed murder and the law against murder must be fulfilled lest another class of females take advantage of the precedent which would be estab lished by allowing her to go frae. Why is this never thought of in the case of men? Yet it ia said that women have all the rights they can want or need, more even tban men. Is it true? Do men and women receive the same even handed justice? In this case it seems not. Fob years and years Topeka has talked and talked about building a dam across the Kaw river; meetings were held, plans prepared, subscription papers passed round, and yet the dam didn't materialize. All at once the town was paralyzed, so to speak, with the state ment that work was actually to begin at once on two dams! Yes, two dams. Weil, some days have passed, and now it seems that both dams put together are not likely to be worth one Minneapolis (Kan.) Messenger. It does seem so; and now, instead of trying to get something for Topeka several of our citizens are running off on a wild goose chase booming an exposi tion for Galveston.. Galveston is able to take care of herself. Galveston people might boom Topeka a little while for a change. We have already helped her with deep water conventions, etc. KANSAS PARA G HAPJIS.

But You Mast Have Accumulated' Exp, rience, learned Wisdom, Be Possessed of Good Sense, a Sound and Vigorous Body and a Clear Head. Russell Sage is one of the very few very rich men of the present age whose fortunes were well started while the builders were yet on the sunny side of 40. This may seem a strange statement, but it's a trne one, and, remembering its verity, no one has cause to feel dis- his 'tf4. SAMUEL J. TILDEN. couraged in his quest after wealth, even if he has passed the 40 year limit and ia still a poor man. It is true that there is no hope unless something or other has been accumulated before the 40 year limit is reached, but that something need not necessarily be money. The stores of that wisdom which is acquired only by experience are often of greater value than mere dollars, even in the pursuit of wealth, but in order to make proper use of what you have learned so as to win riches after 40 you must also have found out how to continue, and you must have conserved your physical and mental powers by right living. It's a difficult thing and requires the exer cise of every ability, this getting more than an ordinary share of this world's goods in the face of the fierce competi tion of today. There are four other fortunes besides Safe's that stand out pre-eminent in America because of their size and the fact that each was made great almost beyond the possibility of dissipation by the efforts of one man. These fortunes wero made by Jay Gould, Commodore Vanderbilt, John Jacob Astor and John D. Rockefeller. Only the last named of these men is now alive. He was well started by 40, but he was not rich be yond peradventure iEce, although his operations before that? tirae had been on a large scale, he was yet liable to miss fire and go to the bottom of the financial sea at any time previous to his fortieth birthday. His position, moreover, was that of a man who, in order to win, must have faith in himself and his opinion. In faith he was not found wanting. He believed that the-supply of petroleum was practically inexhaust ible, and he went ahead on that basis. His companions in business sometimes differed with him; but, encouraged by his example, they all continued, and the result, has been the upbuilding of a re markable group of Standard Oil for tunes, of which John D. Rockefeller's is the greatest, and some say' the greatest in the whole world. Jay Gould got rich before 40, but the founders of both the Vanderbilt and Astor fortunes wero nearer 50 than 40 before they had got enough together to be able to consider themselves really rich, and the same may bo said of many lesser financial lights, less than those above mentioned, but yet sufficiently well to do to be spoken of as wealthy by all the rest of us. Samuel J. Tilden had made some thing of a name for himself before he was 40 and had become known to some extent in politics, bnt he did not begin that devotion to the legal profession which won for him great wealth till afterward. Henry Villard, who has been poor and rich and poor and rich again, was 41 when, in 1874, he began his operations in Oregon railroads, but nine years later he counted $5,000,000 as his own. His subsequent financial fall is well remembered, and so is his rise again to millionairedom after he was 50. Webster Wagner, whose sleeping and drawing room cars go wherever go the Vanderbilt lines of rail, was a sta tion agent at a small place on the New York Central when his fortieth birth day came, in 1857, and he so remained 0 S7 NWS JAMES GORDON BENNETT. for three years longer. But after he had managed to get his scheme for the com fort of travelers introduced he shortly became a very rich man. Although Levi P. Morton had raade a fortune before he was 40, he was be pinning over again at the fourth decade line, for he had failed in his mercantile business after moving from Boston to New York, and the socend fight was al- a. most as hard as the first. John H. Star in, whose steamboats are known to all who dwell in or visit New York, had most of his wealth to win at 40. He was born in a little town in the interior of the state, where he carried on a small drug business and kept the postoffice. change of administration Starin voted for Scott, but Taylor was elected de prived him of the office, and he some times found it hard to make payments when they came due. Finally he be thought himself of the valne of adver tising. He increased his business in that way to some extent and later went into the river and harbor transportation business some time in the sixties. At 40 he was started in this line, but he was not rich. His wealth came later. Charles A. Dana, the rich and bril liant editor of the New York Sun, was a poor man at 40. After his college days he was an enthusiastic social reformer who would think it now to read The Sun? and as such became one of those who tenanted the famous Brook Farm. Then he was a writer for the managing editor of the New York Tribune, under Greeley, at the moderate wages of $20 a week. When the civil war came, Mr. Dana was made assistant secretary of war by Stanton and detailed to duty much of the time in the field. After the war he thought himself well qualified to conduct a newspaper and chose Chi cago for its location, but the venture was so flat a failure that some men would have been clean discouraged. Dana was not. He went to New York and bought The Sun without money of his own. He was sure his plans, revised after his experiences in the west, where he had published -an "organ," were good, and he succeeded in making a few capitalists see the matter as he saw it. The result was as he expected. James Gordon Bennett, the founder of the New York Herald, was between 30 and 40 when he started his paper, but it was years after that when he be came rich. His life down to the day the first number of his little penny sheet was issued had been a succession of re verses. He had worked with a fierceness that knew no discouragement for wages a third class clerk' of today would turn up his nose at, and he had saved every cent he possibly could. In 1832 he left the New York Inquirer, on which he had been employed for some time, and, full of hope, started the New York Globe, but this venture failed, and for the same reason that Dana's Chicago paper failed, some thirty odd years later. fci vrt$ Vy;; -Ad A. T. STEWAET. It was an "organ," and Bennett was no more fitted to edit an organ than was Dana. By 1835, however, Mr. Bennett had revised his notions of the sort of paper he was fitted to run, and one morning he got out the first issue of the paper that was to win so much for him. His office was in a cellar in Ann street. The counter over which the papers were sold to newsboys and individual purchasers was a board resting on the heads of two barrels, and the seller of the papers was Bennett himself, seated behind the board in a splint bottomed chair. The paper made a sensation even on the first day. Bennett had written most of its contents himself and had slashed right and left. None was too high, none too low, for him to attack. The small edi tion was exhausted before noon. Next d-iy the edition was larger. The growth continued, too, but it is doubtful if it would have succeeded after all had not a pillmaker, then well known to all the world, offered to insert a large standing advertisement in the paper and to advance the payment money for the first quarter. The pillmaker's con fidence in Bennett and his Herald was justified. The advertising brought enor mous sales of pills, and also it tided the paper over its most critical period. In fact, both men got rich through that ad vertisement. Adolph Sutro, now mayor of San Francisco, who well nigh immortalized himself and won great wealth by boring a tunnel larger than any constructed be fore or since for the drainage of mines, was 47 before he even began to gain his fortune. The late A. T. Stewart is not often mentioned nowadays, so quickly do men forget the very 'rich man who fails to found a family, but it is not many years since his name was a synonym of bound less wealth, and he has left striking monuments in the metropolis in the buildings where he carried on his busi ness and his palatial Fifth avenue resi dence, now used for a clubhouse. Yet Stewart did not become rich before 40. He was a merchant before that time, to be sure, and was counted a successful one, but he was not yet certain that he might not find, after all, that his busi ness plans were inadequate and that he might yet have to give up the race for wealth. The list of men who have become rich enough after reaching middle life to make them famous might be extended far beyond the limits of this article, but I need not pursue the subject further. I have written enough, I am sure, to prove the truth both of the old saying that "while there's life there's hope," and Dana's pet war cry, "We may be happy yet, you bet M.

Other Vw of th City DepirlmeiM of Interest t Topeka People. The city council waya and means com mittee met at the council chamber last night to prepare its report to the council regarding assessment levies necessary to meet the payments of judgments, in terest on bonds, eta, that will be due dur ing the next year. Councilman Burgess occupied the cha'r. The other members of the com mittee present -were Councilmen Brad ford, Stephenson and Pattison. City At torney Bird and City Clerk McFadden were present also as advisory members. Mr. Pattison passed the apples. As a preliminary to the consideration of the various moneys to be raised and the rate of levy for raising them, Mr. Mc Fadden explained to the council that the assessment of city property was much less this year than it was last. Last year the assessed valuation was $9,800,000, but this year it is only $9,500,000, 300,000 less. The first assessment considered was the levy to clear up the judgments against the city. They were as follows: bewer judgmsnt, $20,000, expenses, f S '0; Lowe judgment, $200; Smith, judg ment, $100; Kerahner judgment, $200, and judgment against the Jefferson street fire station building, $600. Ex penses added to these judgments placed the total at $23,200, and Mr. McFadden, who had figured it out, said he thought a levy of about 2 mills would about cover it Mr. Stephenson moved to make it 2ij mills, and after Mr. Bradford had seconded it it carried. On motion of Mr. Bradford the water tax levy was made the same as last year, 1.6 mills. The assessment for the library fund was also allowed to remain at one-half mill, as last year, when it brought to the city library the sum of $4,80J. The interest on bonds had to be at tended to and on explanation of the city clerk that it would be about right, and on motion of Mr. Bradford, seconded by Mr. Stephenson, the levy for this was placed at 2.1 mills, Mr. McFadden ex plaining that there were some back taxes due the city that would help out nicely. The eity's proportion of one tenth the principal and interest on street paring, was nxt to be disposed of. Owing to the difference in the assessed valuation it was moved by Mr. Stephenson to ad- tor R) rents fie target piece of Coop 13 1 115 ewTemperance Beveraq nheuser cf 1 1 S iicixe n 67 St1 vance this assessment one-tenth of a mill and make it five mill instead of 49 mills. This was done. The general revenue fund which was 6 mills last year, and' the improvement fund which was 5 mills last year, Mr. Bradford moved to leave unchanged, but Mr.Burgesa'explanatioix that the fund was little short last year and a good deal of repairing would have to be done on Kan sas avenue during the next year and also that the assessed valuation was less it was conclded to make the assessment for the improvement fund 5 milis and it was done. All this makes a total of 23.3 mills that the committee will recommend the coun cil to make on Monday night August 5. This is three mills more than it was last year, made so principally by the big in crease necessary to cover the judgments, the judgment levy alone being five times what it was last year. MUST PAY TBE INTEREST. Interest Hearing: Bond for Paviaf; That Y Never Done and No Fund for It. One time the city issued bonds to pave an alley between Kansas avenue and Jackson and Eighth and Ninth streets. The bonds were sold, but an injunction was issued by Judge Guthrie against the work and it was never done. The city now has the Interest to pay. All this was a perplexing question that came up before the ways and. means committee of the city council last night. No fund had ever been created to pay the interest on those bonds, the amount of which City Clerk McFadden says he does not know. The assessment made against the property was paid and the city seems to have no record of what was done with it. At least Mr. Burgess says he cannot find out. Heretofore the interest on these bonds has been paid out of .the general revenue fund and last year it was $1,100. The committee was in doubt regarding its ability to make a levy covering this and the assessment in the general improve ment fund was increased a tenth of a mill for the present to help cover it Mr. Bird thinks perhaps the legisla ture will have to be called in. There wat some talk also of having the injunc tion set aside and going on with the pav ing. The status of the matter now remains that the city has sold the bonds, been paid the assessments, and has nothing to show for it further than interest that must be paid out to the bondholders.

Councilman Stephenson now has in preparation an ordinance that the bicy clists will be glad to hear about It is to be an ordinance providing a punishment for throwing wire, bottles, glass, nails, tacks, or anything that will puncture a pneumatic tire, in the streets or alleys. "This is made imperative," says Mr. Stephenson, "by the acknowledged ad vance of the use of pneumatic tires. All bicycles have them, and there are mora bicycles on the streets than buggies. It costs something to keep tires in good re pair. "I believe, too, that the time will be here very soon when nearly all carriages and pleasure vehicles will have the pneumatic tires and an ordinance f this kind will be a necessity." BREAK TP SIDEWALKS. Complaints that Iron Hitching 1Yixhte letroy the Pavements. A modest Topeka councilman is pre paring for presentation to the council an ordinance that will stop the threwing of hitching weights on the sidewalks. This idea has undoubtedly suggested itself to all owners of walks on Kansas avenue and other business streets.

I would do away with the iron weight altogether if possible, but if not, I would make it compulsory that the weight be let down easily and not thrown." NO EAR FOR MUSIC. Col. Veala Objects to the Qalncy Street Midway as a Nuisance. Col. George W. Veale was at the city hall yesterday evening with a good sized and healthy objection. The noise at the Quincy street "'Midway" is too much for him. He objects mostly to the organ, it is understood. Mr. Veale has do ear for music, anyway. "The thing ia a nuisance," he says, "no open saloon could be more so. The most disreputable characters in the city congregate there and yell and talk loud and make quiet and respectability in the neighborhood almost impossible. I am not alone in wishing it away. If the city must have the license the place pays for a few weeks at most, I would be willing to put up the license for the time and have the thing moved out of town."

6 STATE JOURNAL SATURDAY EVENING JULY 27, 1895; IN SOCIETY CIRCLES. Recent Social Events in Topeka and Vicinity. GEHERAL ROTES OF SOCIETY. Penraal Item of Iatereit Abtat T peka Peonle and Visitor ia Tw. About fifty teachers, ex-teachers, and teachers-to-be gathered at County Sup erintendent W. II. Wright's hume Thurs day evening, and, in his absence made themselves entirely at home. When he returned, much to his surprise, he found the house and lawn swarming with "brisk wielders of the birch and rule." "Miller boy" and "Rath and Jacob" made the time pass merrily. Mr. bid well played an exquisite little piece of music, and then the school ma'ams knew a surprise was in store for them as well as their county superintend ent. Miss Edith Gregory entertained them with a short recitation, which was fol lowed by music by Mr. feidwell. A chronicle was read by Miss Anna M. Davis, that was entirely appreciated by all the teachers present, as they and their friends in the profession received "hon orable mention." Miss Libbie Gregory favored the com pany with a violin solo, after which ex County Superintendent Josiah Jordan gave a brief review of the past three ad ministrations. Mr. Eli G. Foster of Harrison school, and institute instructor under Mr. Wright for the past two years, was introduced as having an address to deliver, but he ap peared to have a peculiar idea of such an occasion, for he summoned his host to appear before him for sentence. In a very pleasant manner Mr. Foster pro nounced the dread verdict. He brought to miud several memories which those interested in the institute of '94 fully appreciated. In a few well chosen words, Mr. Wright thanked his teachers for the au tograph album they had presented him. 31 r. A. J. Ashple moved that the thanks of those present be extended to Mr. bid well and the Misses Gregory and the county teachers havinsr had an interest in the programme.

As I ponder In the twilight 'neath the star light's softener glow. Or hear the ciock jubt striking midnight, as the lamp is burning low; Hark! i near the thi Gam whistle like a blast of bugle wild. Then the Mjud of eerie laughter as from some e.liu child Can it be the dawn of judgment? Is it Gabriel's eh no. uigh? Or is it just the hose cart and ladder passing by? 1 open wide the window and lean out into the night And I hear in tremVfllng cadence (yes, I'm sure 1 hear aright) "Sweet Marie." "fiwim Out O'Grady," "Daisy Bell," come floating back. And 1 know 'tis but the passing of friend Fouiks's tow-nijci hack. f': X Seeixadee. The new woman is getting to be an old theme. A Topeka young man who is popular because he takes the girls to parties and out riding a good deal, says he is tired of being "a good thing." To take something from one of your friends which yoa have no right to, is really genteel stealing, but it is express ed by saying "I 'stached' it." People who are not at Ninth and Quincy at 8:15 to leave for the Vine wood dance, get left A girl who knows, says that the Ox ford, Imperial, Bungler and Assembly crowds comprise Topeka's rolled plate 150 and are only different aged people in the same grade of society. Now and then it announced as news that a young lady anil gentleman will be married soon; justf us though young ladies married each other, or young gen tlemen did; or that the average people who get married were old instead of young. But there is nothing like faking news when there isn't any. The "note book" is reliably informed that the very prettiest girl in town knows whom sheis going to marry, and that means that she is engaged. Some of the hats worn by fashionable young ladies have so much open work that they must have been meant to talk through. A hmely girl can be made attractive by her clothes, and a pretty girl can be made awfully homely through the same medium. Men make of being in love a pastime; women then make a mistake in making it an occupation. Just think what the new man must get accustomed to: Keeping his clothes on with pins; having his wife come in late; going through her bloomer pockets and not rinding enough to feel paid for his trouble; being cordial to a chance visitor whom she has brought home to dinner; 'having her carry his letters for a week before mailing them; knowing that she probably makes love to the young men clerks in her office; hearing her kick about the bills; waiting patiently for her to come to meaii; asking for every cent of spending money he wants; having a tailor come to the house by the day be cause it will save expenses: reflecting that with all his trouble that he had no alternative, as it would have beeu im modest to have done anything else but sit down and wait till this woman pro posed to him, though he may have fan cied others whom her attentions fright ened away. The true teat of a baking powder is to try it in making bread, cake, etc., and we are of the opinion that it will be impos sible to remove from the minds of our housewives the conviction, long ago formed from the application of this practical test, that the Royal does make the best, the most, and the moat whole some. THE NEW CRICKET CLUB. It Held a Meeting Last Evening and Organized. At the meeting last night to perfect the arrangements for the Cricket club the fact was revealed that men can get as enthusiastic over the ''great English game" a3 over base ball. So far there are some 20 men connected with the club, among whom are Mr. At kinson, the Shakeshaft brothers, the Black brothers, Messrs Carrie, Fuller, Davies, Kingsley, Scott, and Drs. West and Howard. The implements of warfare will be here by the middle of the week, and the West Side Gua club grounds will be used for practice grounds. It is desired to increase the number to 30 to insure two full teams for practice. Any of the above gentlemen will give information upon the subject. T HE D E AT HROL L Leroy Johnson, colored and aged one, died at Clay and B streets this morning. Ray Ogden, three months old, died of cholera infantum, at Tenth and Liberty streets and was buried this morning. Mrs. L.

The farmers in the vicinity of Meno ken will meet at the Menoken school bouse Monday evening at 8 o'clock to organize the Kansas Peoples' Protective UBsociation. This is to be a farmer society to recover stolen property and prosecute the thieves. Numerous recent burglar ies northwest of the city have awakened interest in an organization of this kind.

Last even ing the night agent at the Santa Fe junc tion whs awakened by a peculiar sliding sound just outside the open window. Rising hastily, he rushed outside the station and found a car tilled with groceries standing with the door broken open. He quickly closed aud fastened it and had the burglar caged inside. It was the small Italian. While he returned to the station to tele phone for the police the boy got out through an opening in the end of the car aud as nothing further was seen of him it is believed he took the hint and got out of town. Whenever a baking powder is sold either wholesale or retail at a lower pric than the Royal, it is made from infen r ingredients, probably from alum, and is to be avoided under all circumstances. One Aspect of Jury Service. The diet of hotels, consisting- of rich meats and desserts in great variety, is usually different from the average food of the average jurymen, particularly of the working class. The result is al ways overeating and under-exercise. This alone would quickly break up or disorder the mental activities. In addi tion to this, the confinement in the bad air of court rooms brings new sources of poisoning, particularly deficient oxidation, which of itself is sufficient to derange the normal brain functions. The crowded rooms at hotels .are either overheated and badly ventilated or cold and noisy. The time for retiring ind rising varies, and the usual habits of the juryman are changed in every re spect. His accustomea food, sleep, and exercise, and his manner of think ing and the subject of his thoughts, all are broken up. He is asked to follow an intricate chain of reasoning, and discriminate the errors, and told that this is true and that Is true, and that the law should lead him to some other point. He is nattered, and his pride is roused to do the best he can. He grows more incapacitated daily as the evi dence accumulates and his system be comes deranged. Then, in despair, he will suddenly form some conclusion, guided by a fancy for some attorney or some remark by the judge. Kalaer's Special Train Cost 3600,000. The German Emperor's imperial train consists of twelve saloons, con nected by corridors, and cost $600,000.

The Downfall of Crepon Indicated Com plete Dresses of One Material Fromlse to Soon Prevail Fashionable Materials and Trimmings The New Sleeves. The general outline of fashion has changed very little since the early sea son styles presented themselves. Skirts are -much the same, except that less haircloth is used in their lining. Here and there one is seen with plaited sides made of a straight breadth and the same gored front and godet back. Skirts without trimming are the rule for all gowns except thin muslins. Some of these made recently are trimmed with two or three bands of insertion arranged in a deep point on either side. The leading materials for gowns in tended for midsummer wear are batiste, organdie, swiss, linen duck and pique, and these are made up in all the vary- WHITE GOWN WITH LACK TRIMMINGS. ing degrees of simplicity and elabora tion. Plain white and figured pique are combined in one gown, with the addi tion of white mull and lace embroidery, and 'white pique is used for wide collars and cuffs of sheer ecru linen batiste. Ribbon and lace are the usual trim mings for ecru batiste gowns when they are intended for afternoon wear, but the white cluck and pique collar and band on the skirt give them that severe and stylish appearance so much desired for morpir.g. Epaulet pieces of batiste trim med round with a ruche of narrow lace are almost a necessity over the gigot Bleeves, which to be cool are made with out lining. The waist and skirt can be made over a white or colored lawn. White organdie dresses over colored silk or white lawn lining are trimmed with cream Valenciennes lace. Three or five rows of insertion set in above the hem, or two narrow ruffles, or or gandie edged with lace, trim the skirts. The waists are full, with lace yokes and frills of edging below, and either col ored or plain white ribbons are used for collar and belt. A sheer white batiste gown illustrated in the New York Sun ia trimmed with lace insertion and made over a pale green lawn lining, which makes it look very cool. Frills of batiste trimmed with insertion and lace extend over the sleeves, and green and white striped ribbon makes the bows, collar and belt. White pique gowns are usually in the coat and skirt style and are worn vyth dainty shirt waists of blue, pink or yellow silk. White alpaca seems to be a favorite material. Glace silks are also popular. It is claimed by those who ought to know that crepon, which has so long had the precedence, has got to make way for smooth finished fabrics. Ultra fashionable women are introducing cos tumes of one material throughout. Some of the new sleeves show a box plait at the back, which makes the sleeve look narrow and more graceful and is useful in making the sleeves stand out. A glace silk of cream white with bunches of violets scattered all over it has the skirt trimmed with puffs and ruches of silk arranged in points on either side of the front, and the bodice, which is all of the same silk, is laid in front in crosswise folds, meeting on cue side under a large bow of violet col ored satin ribbon. The wide capelike tevers are of the silk, and a cravat bow of cream lace, wired to stand out stiff, completes the collar band of lace, which also forms the vest. Another gown il lustrated by the authority already quot- GOWNS OF GLACE SILK. ed is of rose shot glace silk. It has three rows of guipure insertion on the skirt, a lace vest, turn over collar and deep cuffs and bows of black satin ribbon on the shoulders and sleeves. The waist at the hack is plain, with a little fullness at the belt. Besides taffetas, which are endless in variety, and the thin gauffer ed silks, there is a new faille which is soft and glossy and looks like niiroir velvet. Pretty, cool hats for midsummer are white transparent straw, shaped some what like a sailor, except that the brim narrows toward the back, and trimmed with rosettes of white chiffon, white wings which spread out at each side and bright pink rosea with many leaves. .3 pttfj mmfiuf BEAUTIFUL SUMMER COSTUMES. The child's frock is of pink figured challie with briar stitching and white satin quilling. The dress at the right is of moss colored gTOsgrain with a band of velvet to match around the skirt and a drapery with bows of the velvet on the waist, below a plastron of heliotrope velvet embroidered with jet. The central figure shows a re ception gown of black taffetas, trimmed with lace, jet bands and eaolettes of feathers and two large shaded yellow flowers.

What she shall wear and how to make it? is not the question that perplexes mamma, as does the gowning of her elder sister. The littla maid looks so charming, and each wee frock takes such a scrap for its con struction, it is hard to resist making just one more of the many pretty de signs shown in the shops. Simplicity and comfort are the points considered in the little maid's toilets this season. The short full skirts, big sleeves, wide brimmed hats and sunbonnets will in sure her many happy hours of play. The following little powns shown by a celebrated house will illustrate the favorites for summer. If she is a blonde, light wood-brown, with touches of green silk and cream lace will trans form her into a veritable summer fairy. It is made of waffle crepon, with a double box plait front and back, caught only at the neck, and has a deep cape of green silk, with cream lace ruffle. The full sleeves are gathered at the wrist. Two rows of narrow green ribbon and one row of cream in serting give a pretty finish to the skirt. A close cap of green silk, with band of inserting, lace frill and wide silk strings complete this costume. A pair of hook kid gloves and a parasol will make the little maid perfectly happy. The next little frock is suitable for church or for "best" on cool summer days. Dull blue flecked with brown is used in this model. The little skirt has few gathers in front, the fullness being well bunched at the back. A scant ruffle of brown silk, stiffly lined to stand out crispty, and a second ruffle of heavy lace points, form a "V" neck on the skirt, the leg-o'-muttou sleeves and for belt and rosettes. With this gown is worn a flat-crowned sailor of fine, light brown straw, trimmed with a smartly tied bow of blue and brown checked ribbon. A cloak that will go on easily and not crush the frills and sleeves will delight the little maid who is inclined to look weight cloth m a medium shade of old rose, or a pretty broken plaid in old rose, white and black, makes a pretty and serviceable cloak. The skirt is gathered very full on a shallow, square yoke, which fits easily and has big granny sleeves. A detachable cape formed by three ruffles ties witn black ribbon streamers three inches wide, concealing the yoke. Each ruffle is edged with three rows of Tom Thumb velvet ribbon. A shirred black silk ii2& with double frill of black chiffon THE LITTLE UAXD. embroidered in old rose gives protect tion from sun and wind. In wash dresses the array i3 even more tempting, and surely the choice among cotton stuffs was never less lim ited. Ginghams for morning and pret ty striped or plain batistes or flowered muslins for evening, with perhaps a white china silk and a white mull for extra occasions, are the selection of sensible mothers, leaving the stiff ham burgs, rustling with starch, and the be ribboned Swisses over colored cambrics to the woman with gaudy taste, who thinks them "real elegant," poor thing. This is the woman who puts red em broidery around the legs of her little boy's white duck "pants." Sheer lawn in pink and white stripes is the material employed in another de sign. This dainty gown is made in one piece. A deep ruffle of the lawn and a narrower one of fine nainsook embroid ery are gathered very full around the puffed yoke, and a frill of the embroid ery finishes the neck and sleeves, which are a coat sleeve, with a large xuff forming upper part. Two rows of in serting give the short-waisted effect. The sixth model will probably prove the favorite, as it is dainty, yet easily laundered. It is made up in white, scarlet and blue gingham. The skirt is laid in fine cluster plaits, and forms a slip. A deep round cape of plain scarlet or blue, with rows of white braid, is put on without fullness around the neck of the slip, which is well rounded, and fits snugly over the shoul ders. The ruffle sleeves are the sama depth as the neck frill. The guimpe may be white or a solid color. This is a model play dress, and can be admirably developed in galatea cloth or any of the wash materials. The china silk will be charming if adapted to this st3Tle. Have the skirt accordion-plaited, the guimpo of silk and the neck frill of deep Valen ciennes lace. Hand-Tainted Novelties. nand painted satins are one of the latest novelties, and they are used for bodices, parasols and capes, and hand painted ribbons are already imported for various purposes of trimming.

"Did I ever tell you how I managed to cure myself of the cigarette habit?"1 asked a cholly the other day. I told him he had never explained the mystery to me, and that I had spent many, sleepless nights in consequence. "Now, you are Joking," he said, with his neat little lisp, "but really, on the extremely deceased, I have stopped it entirely, and it was the easiest thing- in the world. X used to smoke from four to five pack ages a day, and sometimes more. One day I made up my mind that I would quit. I do not mean that I would quit smoking, but I meant that I would stop buying them. I smoked those of my friends. Finally it became a bore to my friends to have me always asking fop cigarettes, arid they sometimes said they didn't have them. Thus, my charity" smokes gradually became quite seldom. Finally there was. not a young fellow5 who knew me who would give me a cigarette. By that time I had about gotten rid of the habit. One day I feft like I would enjoy one, and I bought a package before I thought, lit one, and ItJ actually tasted so badly that I threwr it and the package away. Since then I have never smoked. I do not use to-. bacco In any form. Tou may give this receipt to your friends if you desire. Id cured me, and did the job quickly ancl effectively." TRIED TO KILL, VICTORIA. Six Attempt Have Been Made on tha Queen' Life. Since her majesty came to the throne she has been the subject of six attacks. but only three of them can be described as attempts on her life. The first attack: on the queen occurred on Constitution Hill, on June 10, 1840, soon after her marriage, the assailant being a pot boy named Edward Oxford. Two years later, on May 30, 1842, John Francis fired at the queen when within a few feet of her carriage. This outrage also took place on Constitution Hill. In July o the same year a crack-brafned lad named Bean leveled a loaded pistol at her majesty, who was driving from. Buckingham castle to the Chapel Royal, St. James, but the weapon missed fire. In May, 1850, Robert Pate, an ex-lieu tenant in the hussars, as the royal car riage was emerging from the duke of Cambridge's gate, struck the queen, with a stick, (leaving a mark on her cheek and crushing her bonnet. Ii February, 1872, a youth named Arthur O'Connor presented an old and un loaded pistol at her majesty as she was entering Buckingham palace, and on March 2, 1882, a man named Roderick Maclean deliberately fired at the queen as she was driving from "Windsor sta tion to the castle, but no damage was done. Westminster Gazette. Each HI Own Weather Prophet. Every man who owns a bicycle is now his own weather prophet. He holds in his hand the long-sought solution of tha problem how to make rain. If his wheel gets' muddy and he lets it stay so, clear weather will be assured. If he attempts to clean oft the mud a shower will result within twelve hours.. If he cleans and polishes the wheel so that it shines like new, a terrific thun dershower will fall as soon as he tries to go for a ride. A large number of wheelmen have found this to be a fact and as you can't ride a wheel during wet weather, the fact that so many muddy wheels are seen proves that they are left dirty to avoid pausing a rainstorm. louisvai Post.

Haine, a Dolegata to the Railway Cong;res, Please Them. London, July 27. Most of the Ameri can delegates to the recent international railway congress hare returned here from a tour of Ireland, where they were grandly treated. Colonel Henry S. Haines, president of the American Railway association and vice president of the Plant system, was spokesman for the Americans and scored a tremendous hit in a speech which he made at Galway, which city is making a great effort to induce large ships to call there. So when Colonel Haines said that the American delegates felt at home in Gal way, because it was so near America, the Galway men went wild with delight and called the gallant colonel the American Daniel O'Connor.

The newspapers of Leavenworth and Wichita are endeavoring to make a great deal of anti-prohibition thunder on the plea that there is more drunkenness in 'dry" Topeka than in both of the other cities combined. The statement started in Wichita that the number of drunks that have been fined in the Topeka police court since- the first of the year is 331, In order to refute this statement a Jour nal reporter went over the police rec ords from the time the present force has been in office (February 1) to date. It is found that there were 200 arrests for "plain" drunks, and 45 for being drunk and disorderly total 245. By months the showing is as follows: Drunk and Drunk. Disorderly. February 20 8 March 40 3 April 59 8 Mav 41 10 June 40 10 200 45 Police Judge Hatton of Wichita gives the number of drunks for the same period as 183, and at Leavenworth the Times figures out that there were only 113 arrests for drunkenness. The Leavenworth Times, speaking edi torially, says: 'Statistics furnished by the police judces show very plainly the amount oi drunkenness in Topeka, where saloons are closed, as com pared with Wichita, where, till the last week, or two, saloons were permitted. From January 1 up to the present time there have been 3J1 ar rests for drunkenness in Topeka, and ouiy 1.S3 in Wichita. In this city the number is lower stiil only 113. There are two interesting infer ences to be drawn from these figures and facts. One of them is of great importance, aud that is the ciear proof afforded of the inetiicacy ot the prohibitory iaw when it Is enforced. It distinct ly increases intemperance. Let Christians and temperance reformers make an accurate note of it in their memories. Let them draw fair conclusions and reason without prejudice, and they will see that their own cause is retarded aud injured, 'lhe seeond inference is one of less consequence, but it is curious: Topetca. which has preached to Wichita, Atchison and Leaven wor.ii in a saintly, sickening cant, and advocat ed that tliey be chastened and made go.xl like Topeka is why. Topeka is the most drunken place in the slate." Losing Bight for a moment of the fact that Topeka is cons'darably larger than either Wichita or Leavenworth, the rea son for Topeka's showing on arrests for drunkenness is obvious. In Topeka drunk men are arrested, in Leavenworth and Wichita they are not In Topeka, a drunken man on the streets is taken to the city prison; in the liquor towns they are such a common sight that no notice is taken of them. At Leavenworth sol diers from the Home and from the Fort when drunk are not arrested unless wildly disorderly. In Topeka a drunken man is corralled before he has an oppor tunity to insult women and make a nui sance(of himself. Atchison women have to stay home from prayer meetiug iu or der to avoid insults from drunken men. In Topeka a drunk man is such a rare object on the streets that he is a curios ity in the "wide open" towns they are found on every corner and loafing at ev ery stairway. This is why Topeka's police records show so many arrests for intoxication. If the Leavenworth or Wichita police undertook to arrest every drunk man they would have time for nothing else and a circus tent wouldn't hold all the culprits. Both of the towns thrit are boasting of their sobriety are full of blear-eyed, red-nosed bums and soaks who are ever-present living monuments to the saloon. The Royal Baking Powder is recom mended by the best authorities on cuis ine. Its sale is larger than that of all other cream of tartar baking powers combined, and it has more friends among housekeepers than any other similar ar ticle. THAT HOT DAY. It Hatched Oat a Ch'ckea on a Shelf In Ottawa. (From the Ottawa Bulletin.) The other day Riley ltdthburn pur chased some eggs at the store and took them home. It was during one of those hot days that Mrs. Hathburu heard a cheeping in the pantry aud on investigation found that one of the eggs had liatched and a motherless chicken hod come to light. With a little care it has become a thriv ing chicken. A Command WorU. From the Kansas City World: In order that it may concentrate its business the Keeley institute of Kansas has closed the institute at Topeka and moved its headquarters to Kansas City, Kas. The iustitute located at the latter place has been the most successful one in the western country, and has become famed all over the United States on ac count of its treatment of a large number of Indians. It is the only institute in the country at Which full-blooded Indians have been treated. It has also borne the distinction of having the patronage of every large firm and corporation in this section of the country. One railroad has furnished it over sixty p-tients, and every railroad run ning in and out of Kansas City has one or mora employes who have been saved by taking a thorough course of treat ment at this institute, 'lhe institute has been in active operation for over three years, and during that time has treated hundreds of patients, not one of whom has ever claimed that there was a re turn of the appetite for stimulants or that they have received anything but benefit from the remedies. The reme dies of Dr. Keeley have saved over 200,000 people, and have stood the test of fifteen years, and yet it is a strange thing that occasionally some one will be found who will take some imitation of this treatment because it is cheaper. It will be well for everyone living in Kansas City to remember that there is no Keeley institute in Kansas City, Ma, and that the one located at Kansas City, Kan, is the only one located in Kansas, and the best equipped in the western country.

There was revelry by night and a roar ing good time generally at the hall of Capital lodge So. 3, A. O. U. W., 418 Kansas avenue, Thursday night. It was the occasion of the initiation of Charles Gordon into the order, and the experience has doubtless left a lasting impression on his memory and other prrs of his anatomy. Mr. Gordon is not large, but he is a very dignified man of middle age. There were about 15J present and they were well prepared to enjoy the initiate more perhaps than the candidate. The team was under command of Cap tain Ed. Tower, aud Past Master A. J. Loveland tojk charge of the upright but trembling candidate, while the team repaired to the ante-room to get ready for business. Mr. Gordon had baen blindfolded. "Let the caudidate be turned toward the west," said a voice from somewhere, and the candidate was. "Bring forth the royal bumper from Bumpersville, and let him bump." The door to the ante-room was swung open and there stood a No 11 bewhiaker ed goat a real goat. However, the can didate did not know it. He would not have been there if he had. Somebody squeezed the goat's tail. "Ba-ahr-rh," remarked the Royal Bumper, aud became a streak. The streak struck Mr. Gordon on the east side and didn't leave him time to take his bearings or his breath. When they picked him up it was dis covered that he had lost a good deal of his dignity iu transit. This was patched up hurriedly and the candidate was once again placed in the center of the room. The goat was busily devouring the contents of a ritual and had to be coaxed. He was once more headed in the direction of Mr. Gordon, but on the other side this time. Suddenly the goat's tail was squeezed again and as he went between Mr. Gor don's legs Mr. Gordon cjuid not resist the temptation to sit down. Things, in cluding Mr. Gordon, were now going the goat's way and he seemed to enjoy it. It was better than a chariot race for him and he made the rounds of the hall half a dozen time3 with Mr. Gordon clasping' his body in a warm and affectionate em brace. Mr. Gordon has experienced pleasant er sonsations. But the crowd enjoyed it and that was what Air. Gordon was there for. The candidate was not yet dead, and while preparations were being made to drop him over the precipice, he resisted. The goat did no further damage than to chew off part of Mr. Gordou'd trous ers leg during the wait. This is the last lodge Mr. Gordon will join this week. He ha3 given notice. The Royal Baking Powder is made from the very finest and purest materials and costs much more than any other brand, which accounts for its superiority, although it is sold to consumers at the same price.

He Was After Joseph. I was over in the Pennsylvania depot the other day when a train came in bear ing a young man who stood over 6 feet high and had arms as long as the pickets on a fence. He was making in quiries about the ferryboats when he spied a loudly dressed young fellow not far away whom anybody would have picked out as a traveling fakir. The giant from the country made throe long steps and picked the fakir olf his feet and slammed him down, and as he held him on the planks he said "Durn yer hide, but I thought I'd run across ye ag'in some day. How's the tooth powder swindle? How's sell in a man sunthin that's split every durned tooth in his mouth in tryin to clean 'em? Im goin to make a cold corpse of ye in jest two minits!" But the police were on baud to haul him off and insist that he go his way. The fakir had been roughly used and couldn't get his breath for several min utes. When the big depot had got through whirling around with him, I asked if he had been in the tooth pow der business, and he smiled in a sickly way as he replied "I never was. He takes me for my twin brother Joe, who goes about sell ing that stuff. It takes the enamel off, but Joe keeps right on selling it. Hang that hayseed he almost killed me!" "And yon also have a line?" I asked. "Oh, yes. I sell a sure cure for con sumption for only 25 cents a bottle and throw in a pair of eyeglasses worth half a dollar with each sale, but that fellow wasn't after me. It was the tooth pow der, and I must speak to Joseph and warn him of the error of his ways. His Dire Revenge.

THE FULL, REPORTS OF THE FAMOUS SILVER DEBATE STATE JOURNAL, SATURDAY EVENING, JULY gTVlggg. HOBE AND HARVEY BATTLE OF THE GIANTS BEGINS AT CHICAGO. First Day's Proceeding Before the Illi nois Club Horr Attacks "Coin's Finan cial School" Harvey in Defense of His Celebrated Book. (Copyrighted, 1893, by Azel F. Hatch.) Chicago, July 16. The Harvey-Horr debate on the financial question was be- run to-day in the Illinois Club- The j.: a ,.f;i .in firm sessions win ds cuuuuucu uum aiv.v words have been recorded by the official stenographers, provided one of the prin cipals does not yield his position before the limit is reached. A fair attendance greeted the speakers at the first session. The First Session. President Thomas rapped for order at 2:4Q pv m., and in behalf of the Illi nois Club introduced the judges, W. A.. Vincent and H. G. Miller, who are t preside at the several sessions. In his address Judge Miller read the rules which are to govern the proceedings. The weight of the debate is to fall on the points raised by "Coin's Financial School." The contestants are to take the affirmative or negative at their pleasure. Ten minutes is allowed for each side for these arguments. Judge Miller first introduced Mr. Horr, who was greeted with applause. Mr. Horr Opens. Mr. Horr Judges and gentlemen, it is agreed between Mr. Harvey and my self that previous to entering upon the general discussion, each of us shall make a brief statement defining in a general way the position he proposes to occupy in this debate. The foundation of the discussion upon which we are about to enter is a small book pub lished by Mr. Harvey, my opponent, and entitled "Coin's Financial School." The real aim and object of that book i3 to convince the people of the United States that this government alone should at once enter upon the free and unlimited coinage of silver upon the old ratio of 16 to 1. The wisdom of euch a course I dispute. Mr. Harvey will still maintain the affirmative of that issue. I will state in the outset that from the beginning to the end of the book there is hardly a proposition made to which I give my assent. I propose to controvert many, things which are stated as facts, and shall at tempt to prove that the entire theory set forth by its author, if adopted by the people of this country, would lead only to business disaster and financial ruin. I do not now remember ever to have examined a book carefully in which I found so r?w statements that I consider worthy of belief, and I certain ly never saw so many absolute errors crammed into so few pages. (Laugh ter.) Does Not Oppose Bimetallism. I am not here as an opponent of bi metallism. I believe in the use of gold and silver as money to. the fullest ex tent that can be dofle on sound business principles. 'My position upon this question has been too frequently stated within the last five years to be misun derstood by any one. I believe that both gold and silver are the natural money of the world; that in all the larger transactions gold is better adapted to the business needs of the people than silver; that all the smaller R. G. HORR. business transactions of the human family for many years have been, and always should be, conducted with sil ver. I also believe that in all trans actions of the nations of the world be tween themselves, the two metals should be used in the settling of bal ances; but only at their commercial value. I also believe that in the busi ness of our nation the people should never attempt to use either metal, ex cept at its actual value, only in cases where one metal may be used as token money and be made redeemable in metal at its commercial value. International Action. I have always entertained the hope that the business men of the world would yet come together in an interna tional convention and agree upon some basis whereby gold and silver can both be used as the money of final settle ment among the people of the entire world. I am very clear in my idea that until some such arrangement shall be made it would be simply suicide for this nation to adopt a system of free coin age of silver upon the old ratio, a ratio which all the civilized nations of the world have long since discarded. I do not believe that any one government can fix the value upon any two metals and name a ratio which will be ac cepted by the people of the world or of the country itself so that the two met als will be used side by side. Conse quently, if our nation alone should at tempt any such action it would simply lace our country upon a silver basis, I -m A"n Scy) rJI .A mvWM. and the attempt would end In silver monometallism. If we are compelled to decide between gold monometallism and silver monometallism, then I am decidedly in favor of adopting the stan dard used by the civilized nations of the world. I do not believe that silver has ever been demonetized anywhere in the world. I believe that the law of 1873, which Mr. Harvey's book de nounces as a "crime," was honestly conceived, openly advocated and passed by the American Congress after full de liberation, and because the people at that time who held seats in the Ameri- V 1 i A 4-V. o on 1 1 n TXT enacted.- I do not believe in the teachings of this book that this nation is on the verge of financial ruin, or that starvation is staring our people in the face. I believe if our nation should adopt the course advocated in this book it would seriously injure the entire wage-earners of the United States. I believe we would destroy the confidence of the business men of the world in our integrity as a nation, and that we would precipitate such a finan cial panic as our country has never be fore seen. I shall deny most emphatic ally that the great majority of the peo ple of this country are in debt, and shall insist that three-fourths of the American people are creditors and not debtors, and that consequently the sys tem which Mr. Harvey advocates would work great injury to the great majority of American citizens. Questions Coin. I will state still further that if this book about which we are going to de bate is true, then I am all wrong. (Laughter.) It seems to me to be de void of business sense from beginning to end, and I shall enter upon the work of attempting to prove that, and hope to be able to do it in language that shall be so plain and explicit that my fellow- citizens will be satisfied that I have ac complished my task. Understand me, in a few words, I believe that the American nation should have just as good money as any nation uses on the face of the earth; I believe that every dollar paid to a poor man for his daily toil should be worth as much as the dollars paid to men who are rich. I would have the money which measures values the most stable that can be de vised, and would insist that buyers and sellers, lenders and debtors as nearly as possible be required to use the same measure of values, and shall insist that repudiation in all forms is disgraceful and dishonorable in the case of nations, corporations or individuals. What our people need is good credit, good money, good principles and sound busi ness sense. Visionary schemes and debased mon ey never yet mae a nation prosperous. The quality of the money used in any country is far mor- important than the quantity. Laws should be drawn to protect the men who earn money-, as well as those who owe money. A man who works faithfully and lives on his daily earnings should never be sacri ficed for the benefit of men who live on what they borrow. But all these things will be more fully explained as the con test progresses. Mr. Harvey States His Case. Mr. Harvey I am here to defend the facts and principles in "Coin's Financial School." I am aware that the illustra tions in that book are a great aid in presenting clearly its views. "We find this true in our schools. Many scien tific works rely largely on illustrations, and our newspapers find that illustra tions make plain many ideas that could not otherwise be clearly expressed. And yet, I am here to defend orally these principles. I expect to make good in this debate the following proposi tions: 1. That silver and gold are the money of the Constitution. That the silver dollar was the unit of value in our coin age system in this country from 1792 to 1873, just as the yard-stick was the measure of length. That gold was measured in this silver unit, and con current coinage gin to it (gold). That silver and gold combined constitute the legal standard of value in this country till 1873. Silver measured gold; the two together measured all other prop erty. Act of 1S73. 2. That the act of 1873 was surrepti tiously passed. 3. That during the period, 1792 to 1873, the mints were opened to the un limited coinage of both metals into primary or redemption money, ana that both were treated as such. That during that period pople had a right to have either metal coined into full legal tender mon-", and that t' e option was with the debtor to pay in coins of either metal. 4. That this bimetallic system made an unlimited demand for both metals to be coined into money, increased the demand for these metals, and under this law, authorizing anyone to coin 371V4 grains of silver and 23 2-10 grains of gold into a dollar, there was no one willing to sell either for less than a dollar. 5. That the option to pay in either metal caused the cheaper of the two metals to be used and transferred the demand from the dearer to the cheaper metal and restored its relative com mercial value. We are called silver men because we are defending the met al that has been demonetized, but we are, nevertheless, for both gold and sil ver. 6. That it is to the interest of the United States to act independently in the remonetization of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1 without waiting for the ac tion of any other nation. Monometallism as Defined 7. That monometallism consists in the use of the dearer of the two metals to ine exclusion or tne other as pri mary or redemption money. That mono metallism is an experiment on trial for the first time in the history of the world, ana began witn the period 1573. That; it is impossible and impractical" as a stable money measurement of val ues; i3 not based on scientific financial -principles: is in the interest of the money lenders and against the interest of the" property owners and laborers. 8. That the gold unit as the measure of values, with no concurrent coinage of another metal to assist it in per forming the functions of primary money, has caused the fall in prices as compared with 1872, when the world's prices of property were measured in the money mass of both metals. That all prices of property and labor have declined accordingly as compared with 1872, except when held up relatively by increased demand or short supply, or combines and trusts, or special reasons affecting a particular service or prop erty. That the average price of all pro duction, except gold, will show this de cline is adjusting itself to the gold standard. And that when we include in labor the unemployed and the time lost by those employed, there is a fall in wages of one-half as compared with 1872. That labor is adjusting itself to the gold standard measurement of val ues. That the gold standard is confis cating the prosperity of the people and depriving labor of work. Rise and Fall of Prices. 9. That the decline in prices covering a period of 22 years has, as a rule, made all classes of productive, mercan tile and manufacturing business un profitable. That a falling market cov ering a long period destroys the pros pective profits based on cost of pur chase and production, and a majority of our most astute business men cannot avoid failure or loss of capital under these conditions. 10. That it has worked a hardship and injury to debtors who, unconscious of the causes that continuously reduced the prices of their property, have con tracted debts during those 22 years. That this fall in prices causes a sacri- H. HARVEY. fice of property to purchase the dollars with which to liquidate these debts. That this has caused the renewal of debts, the contraction of new debts to pay old debts, and an enlarged volume of all debts. That this unjustly takes from a debtor his property and emphasizes the importance of a stable money measurement of values. 11. That in the end no one is benefited by a fall in prices but the money-lender, the owner of money and securities payable in money fixed incomes. 12. That the foregoing facts and con ditions produced by a change in our money measurement of values will im poverish the masses of the people, and points, by reason of the disturbances it will produce, to the overthrow of the republic. That the free coinage of both metals by this government in the ratio of 16 to 1 will restore prosperity to this nation. To all unbiased men, and those who will lay aside their prejudices dur ing their reading of this de bate, I expect to make good all of the foregoing propositions. Every fact in the "School" that Mr. Horr does not attack I shall take for granted he admits to be true. I am now ready to proceed in the order indicated in "Coin's Financial School," and as contemplated by the rules of the debate. Horr Charges Audacity. Mr. Horr Before entering upon the discussion proper I desire to call the at tention of my opponent to the manner in which this book is written. I desire to state to him that I understand that the book represents that a certain school was held here in the City of Chicago for the purpose of discussing financial matters, and that the book gives the room where the school was held. I ask him to tell me plainly if there was ever any such school held in that, or any other, room in the City of Chicago. I find all through the book a large number of statements attrib uted to a very considerable number of the business men of Chicago, and I am informed that those men, never one of them, uttered a single word attributed to them. If they did not I want my friend to state so clearly, because then I will not be bothered with helping my I irienas oui oi any aimcuuy into wnicn they may have been gotten on account of what they are said to have said, when they never said a single word. (Laughter.) If the book is written as an allegory I would like my friend to state why he did not use, as all literary men have always done, the names of fictitious individuals why he selected individuals well known to the entire community and put words into their mouths which they never uttered un less he intended to convey the impres sion to his readers that those men were present and received the castigation which he says he administered to them on the spot. (Laughter.) The book even goes further, it des cribes the crestfallen manner in which. Eome of these gentlemen left tne room r iMh w. arter Deing worstea in this tearrui man ner. (Laughter.) I want to know if any of them went out in the way he describes. (Laughter.) I feel now that what, we want to get at is the fact about the book, so we will know where we are proceeding. (Applause.) Coin's Allegorical Features Mr. Harvey The "School" Is allegor ical; it marshals the opinions of the two sides of this controversy, so that one in imagination can see the conflict of opinions and the contest as it proceeds. It puts in the mouths of the gold stan dard advocates their well-known views fairly stated with which the country had been flooded up to the time the "School" was written. The strength of the book was intended to be in the fair ness of stating these views. The fact that a little boy in knee pants was the" instructor of the men was supposed to be sufficient to fix the story as allegor ical. One reading Aesop's fables does not care whether the animals talked or not. Neither does he attach any importance as to whether the little boy talked or not. It is the subject and the truths uttered that give to it in each instance its importance. Robinson Crusoe and his island never existed; Bunyan's "Pilgrim's Progress" is imaginary, and the Legree plantation in "Uncle Tom's Cabin" was not an actual fact, but these stories are, nevertheless, entertaining and teach great lessons. From the time the parables in the Bible were written, this style of literature has been recognized. Our school literature is largely imaginary, and when the ques tion is put: "John has five apples and gives two of them to his brother Henry, how many apples has he left?" the problem is imaginary, and put so pur posely as an object lesson to teach the principle of subtraction. Our greatest poems and the sweetest music, that mould the heart in affection and love, animate the soul and move the minds of men to daring deeds of patriotism, are imagery, pure and simple. Imag ination is the unlettered language of the soul, leading us ou to a higher state that we know exists, while yet the slaves of base motives and selfish ends. If it is charged that actual characters are used in" the book, while similar books use fictitious characters, the an swer is that the well-known utterances and opinions of these men are used, and the further answer, that Shakes peare used actual characters. Horr Not Satisfied. Mr. Horr I desire to say that to me the excuse is a very lame one.- But now I come to the motto of the book, which is this: "I thank Thee, oh Father," Lord of heaven and earth, because Thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes." I would like my friend to tell me why he used that motto. Does he desire to intimate that the kind of f nance which he teaches is something that babes will understand, but that people who know anything will never be able to corn- prehend? (Laughter.) Is that his idea? Mr. Harvey Mr. Horr misinterprets the meaning of that verse. The word "babes" is intended to mean the pure of mind and unselfish. It is in that sense that it is used in the Bible, and means that those pure of mind and un selfish can see clearly those things which the impure of mind and selfish cannot see or understand. The cause I represent is pure and unselfish. At the Christian era the metallic money of the Romar empire amounted to $1,800,000,000. By the end of the fif teenth century it had shrunk to les3 than $200,000,000. During this period a most extraordinary and baleful change took place in the condition of the world. Population dwindled and commerce, arts, wealth, and freedom all dioap peared. The people were reduced by poverty and misery to the most de graded conditions of serfdom and slav ery. The disintegration of society was almost complete. The conditions of life were so hard that individual self ishness was the only thing consistent with the instinct of self-preservation. All public spirits, all generous emo tions, all the noble aspirations of man. shriveled and disappeared as the vol ume of money shrunk and as prices fell. Mr. Horr Gentlemen, I desire to state that my friend has spent his time answering something that I never men tioned or said anything about. I mere ly called his attention to the use of the passage of Scripture which he has now fully explained by saying that the pas sage does not mean what it says; that the word which is translated "babes" really means honest, disinterested per sons. "What Is Money? Mr. Harvey Mr. Horr and I agreed that somewhere near the beginning of the discussion we would define what is money, ard then launch into the first chapter of the book. So far as his statement deals with the relation of primary and credit money mentioned in the fly-leaf of the book, I for the pres ent ignore it and will wait till I reach the logical place in the book. But I will now define "what is money." Money is a medium of exchange and a measure of values. As a measure of values, it is a thing representing value. When we express price, we have refer ence to the unit of value or its equiva lent. When we say that a horse is worth $100, we have reference to the relative value of the hourse and the dollars, that is, that the horse in ex changeable value Is worth one hundred times as much as the substance resid ing in the unit of value. To understand the importance of money we must consider the conditions that Would exist if we had no money. It would then be a matter of barter and exchange of one kind of property for another. Needing the wheat of your neighbor, you might offer him in ex change your horse, but not needing yenr horse he would refuse you his wheat. Tou would then have to con tinue looking for a man having wheat who wanted a horse, and the number ot bushels of wheat thus exchanged for tne 'horse would then be the exchange value as between the wheat and tho horse. Under these conditions, there being no money, commerce would be sluggish, if it scarcely moved at all. If you were shipping property by railroad, you would have to give up a portion of the property in payment for freight, and if the property was not divisible, Three Points at Issue. as a threshing machine and thousand J of other kinds of property, you would have to pay the freight income in some other kind of property. The railroad company would have to have places to store the property until it could again dispose of it; would have to refuse all kinds of perishable property, and' would have no practicable method for paying its employes. Merchants would have to exchange the goods for paying its employes. Merchants would have to exchange the goods on their shelves foi all sorts of property and provide stor age for it till they could again exchange it for other property. Where Mr. Horr and myself do not agree, is as to what money should be made of, its quantity, and laws which operate to protect or divert it from the channels of trade. We thus have three points of difference: First As to what money should be made of. Second The quantity. Third The laws defining its use, and intended to protect it from being diverted from the function for which it is created. Horr on Money Functions. Mr. Horr It is true that money is the life blood of commerce and of business. It isn't true that money can exist only when it is created by law. Money was in use and well understood long before there were any laws upon the subject. Money does not have to be made a legal ten der to make it good money even; that is a mistake of Brother Harvey. As a rule legal tender laws are never needed except to make somebody take some money that is poor; No one ever yet had to enforce a legal tender enactment to get somebody to take the best money in existence. Thomas Jefferson hit upon the plan of devising a system of money which should make our notation ef money precisely the same as our notation in arithmetic. In arithmetic the people have become accustomed to starting with 1 and going each way; one dollar, ten dollars, twenty dollars, one hundred dollars, one thousand dollars. Or go ing down, one dollar, half, quarter, ten" cents. Always either a multiple of a unit or else a decimal multiple of a unit, a fractional multiple. You have no idea of the immense amount of lit erature that was written by the think ers of that time, before any record even was made in the Congress of the Con federat States that is, our Confeder ate States, not the new one upon that question of money. And finally they adopted Jefferson's idea. You will find a report of their actions jn the. fourth vol ume of the Journal of Congress, running from April 1st, 1762, to November 1st, 1788. The first law that was ever passed in this United States upon the subject of money was on the 6th day of July, 1785; that was two years after the subject had been discussed in every shape and form by the people and press of the United States. Congress then, I will say the exact words: "And on the question that the money unit pf the United States of America be one dollar, the yeas and nays being required by Mr. Howell, every member answering aye, it was resolved that the money unit of the United States of America be one dollar. Resolved, that the smallest coin be of copptr, of which 200 shall pass for one dollar. Resolved, that the several pieces shall increase in a deci mal ratio." First Coinage Act. That was the first action taken by the American Congress. They first fixed the unit, that is, the name of the thing that should be used as the meas ure of value, deciding that it should be called one dollar and that the smallest division of that should be a half-cent piece; that it should take 200 of them; that it should be copper and that it should be, of course, the value that it should take 200 of them to make the unit. That was the first ef fort of the new government to estab lish a monetary system. Now every one will say they had not yet stated at all what the dollar should consist of, except that 200 copper half-cents should be one of them, and that was the first unit of measure that Congress estab lished 200 half-cent coppers. That is all the law there has ever been on the subject and all that has ever been said about it anywhere. (Applause.) So we had first the money of the daddies of copper, no doubt about it. This work in Congress then was post poned until Tuesday, August 8th, 1786, on the report of the Board of Treasury. At that time the Board of Treas ury corresponded to our present com mittee, of finance. On the report of the Board of Treasury, to whom they referred a letter on the 13th of October, 1785, they took up this money question and passed some laws that have noth ing to do with, coinage. Afterwards they ordered that "Monday next shall be assigned for the selection of a super intendent for the northern district." Then came the report of the Board of Treasury. Now comes the next im portant legislation upon this subject: "Resolved, that the standards of the United States of America for gold and silver shall be eleven parts fine and one part alloy." Originally that was the weight of alloy in all the coins of the United States. Afterwards we reduced the alloy so that it was one part in ten. Mr. Harvey Replying flrs to what Mr. Horr said about the legal tender character of money,. I call your atten tion to tne fact thaX I said wken our monetary system Is arranges upon scientific principles then all money) should be legal tender. When so ar ranged there can be no such thing as depreciated paper money. (Applause.) Igal Tender Character. What Mr. Horr says about copper used as money during the Continent! days preceding the adoption of the consti tution is trivial to be used in this argu ment. The first history of bimetallism or a permanent financial system for the United States was that considered by the constitutional conventions at the end of the colonial days. Then states men came together to fix for you and me and our children to come after us, a permanent financial system that would, together with other laws, free us from the selfish and aggressive policy of the European countries from which they had declared their independence. (Ap plause.) At the time our constitution was framed the details governing the concurrent coinage of the two metals in our financial system was under dis cussion in committees, and between statesmen of that period. So while these details were left to Congress, after the adoption of the constitution, a bimetallic system was provided for in that constitution. Article 1, section 8, says: "Congress shall have power to coin money, regulate the value thereof, and of foreign coins." Section 10 says: "No state shall coin mone- or make anything but gold and silver coin a tender in payment of debts." It says gold and silver (applause), not gold or silver. (Applause.) This is the con stitution. The men who framed this constitu tion then proceeded to give it the con struction intended. They gave to both metals equal dignity, equal rights, ex cept to make the dollar of silver and it the unit of value, in which the value of gold would be measured, but with con current coinage with silver. They gave both metals free and unlimited coinage. Both were given full and un limited use in payment of debts. There was no discrimination made in the use of the two metals, except that the unit of value was to reside in the silver dol lar and that gold coins were to be of the value of so many silver dollars. This is the exact language of the statute, of the men who framed the con stitution and knew the construction that it was intended that it should have. I now read from a text book on finance, by Roswell G. Horr, page 42: "The first unit of value in the United States was the silver dollar. The act of 1873 made the gold dollar the unit of value instead of the silver dol lar." Mr. Horr says in the issue of the New York Daily Tribune of April 15, 1895: "The law which originally made the silver dollar the unit of value was en acted April 2, 1872." I have that before me. It is entitled: "An Act Establish ing a Unit and of Regulating Coins of the United States." In section 9 that act provides for coining eagles each of the value of $10. The amount of pure silver in the standard silver dollar has never been changed." He then says that the only change in the amount of metal in the eoins that have been made has been by cutting down the size of the gold coin. He then says: "The man does not live who can successfully dis pute a single statement tnat I have made thus far." Bimetallism Was Intended. Mr. Horr Now all this talk of Mr. Harvey's is of very little importance so far as I am concerned. I might admit all that he claimed, and then it would not change my attitude on this ques tion in the least. What I say is that when they passed that law they in tended to establish bimetallism in the United States. They did fix the silver dollar as a unit of value, there is no doubt about it. Mr. Harvey I again call the atten tion of the reader to the fact that I will take care of Mr. Horr on the relative value of gold and silver when we get to that question. I want now to call the attention of the reader to the fact that for several years our side has claimed that silver was fixed in 1792 as the unit of value, continuing to 1873, and it was strenu ously denied by the other side. Ani now we come face to face with the other side where they do not dare to mislead; and in the first joint debated question in this controversy they are forced by the truth to admit that 3711,i grains of silver was fixed as the unit of value (loud applause) by the act of 1792 and remained such to 1873. Mr. Horr Who is admitting that? Mr. Harvey The reading of the de bate thus far will show that Mr. Horr has admitted it. Now, why was silver made the unit of value by the act? This wa3 to be a government of the people with its or ganic laws, its financial policy and its statute laws intended to promote the interest of the many, the poorer peo ple. Silver was the money the plain people used. The study of history showed that the rich would take care of themselves, and that the selfishly rich were aggressive and were ever seeking to promote class legislation in tended further to enrich themselves. It was from this class legislation that favored the few that our forefathers de clared their independence, and in es tablishing the principles of republic anism they drafted a financial policy with other laws that were intended to counteract the influence of the selfish few, and to be in the interest of. the many. They, therefore, of the two metals favored silver, the people's money. How did they favor it? They made it the unit the thing in which gold was to be valued. There were to be no two yard-sticks In the money they adopted. Gold was to be valued in silver. The gold coins were to be of the value of sa many grains of silver.

10 STATE JOURNAL SATURDAY EVENING JULY 27, 1895 HOUR AND HAEYEY, SECOND SESSION OF THE FU NANCIAL DEBATE. Sir. Hon Again Leads Oft by Charging Falsification Against Author of "Coin's Financial School" Both Contestants Cite Various Standard Authorities. (Copyrighted, 1895, by Azel F. Hatch.J Chicago, July 17. The second day's session of the HoT-Harvey silver de bate began at the Illinois Club at 2 p. m., and was continued to 5 p. m. Judges Miller and Vincent presided. Many notable persons v. ere present. Mr. Horr opened the discussion again. Wealth and Poverty. Mr. Horr Gentlemen: In opening the discussion to-day I desire to call the attention of my friend to the fact that he read an essay here yesterday upon the condition of the world during the fifteenth century, especially up, to the discovery of America, 1492. lie read that statement without its having been called out at all by me, as I had not attacked that part of his book. But he made such an elaborate effort to show the condition of things in the world from 1400 to 1530, that I have taken a little pains to find out, if I could, whether there Is any truth in the rep resentations that he makes, and I find that history leaves him in as bad a condition in this as it does in regard to the bulk of the statements in "Coin's Financial School." In the "Economic Interpretation of History," page 34, Rogers says, in speaking of the statute of laborers of 1495, it is "considering the cheapness of the times exceeding liberal. At no time in English history have the earnings of laborers, inter preted by their purchasing power, been eo considerable as those which this act acknowledges." At that time Rogers ehows this purchasing power of wages was substantially 50 per cent higher than for the average for the 280 years, 1261 to 1540. In "Agriculture and Prices," page 45, Rogers says so cheap were the means of life during the fif teenth century and so good relatively speaking was the rate of wages that even the farm hand would have found little difficulty in emancipating himself. Mr. Harvey What year was that? 1 Mr. Horr That was in the fifteenth century, that was the time when you say everything was going to the bow wows. Hyndman, in his "Historical 'Basi3 of Socialism," doubts whether any European community ever enjoyed as fnreat, though rough, plenty a3 the English yeoman, craftsman and labor er of the fifteenth century. Malthus agrees with Rogers in his rosy picture of the closing days of the, fifteenth cen tury. Later, I shall show that in his treat ment of the present, as of the past, Mr. Harvey stands as the exponent of the rich and not of the toilers, whose wel Tare should first be considered by the legislation of the state. That Monetary Commission. Mr. Harveyr When among the fly leaves of the "School" yesterday, to as sist Mr. Horr in getting out of them I left him meditating on a verse from the Bible while I passed on to the preface of the book. I volunteered to explain the preface without waiting for it to be attacked, because gold standard papers all over the United States had charged that it was a forgery; that no such quotation as was there used was ever made from the report of any monetary com mission or any other official docu ment, and to show that the gold stan dard papers, as usual, were wrong, and the "School" was right, I read from the report of the United States Monetary Commission of 1876, not for the pur pose of entering into an argument on. political economy of the year 1400 to 1500, but simply to show that all of my friends from New York and else where who had accu.-ed me of forgery were wrong. Now, 1 am not going to argue with Mr. Horr that the monetary commission did not know what they were talking about. He shall not get me at any point in this debate to divert my mind from the regular argument and logical arrangement of the de bate. When a man can put together words that would convince an unthink ing working man that he was better off to-day by far than he was in 1872, and can convince a farmer that he is getting higher prices now than he was in 1872, I would expect him to convince a crowd who are not studying history that prices rose during the dark ages at the very time that tuey were falling, and that laboring men were faring well at the very time when they were work ing as the serfs of the lords of Europe. Wheat and Wages. Mr. Horr Gentlemen, I want to say that I am surprised that my friend, aft er taking so long a time yesterday to prove to the people of the United States that the year before the discovery of silver in the New World silver money had become so scarce that the people were on the verge of starvation after devoting so long a time to it that he ihould now accuse me of trying to di vert him from the regular work before us whe,i it is the very work he himself introduced. I propose now to clinch this business by reading from Prof. George Gunton, the author of "Wealth and Progress," who is a man perhaps as well acquainted with the laboring classes and with their history in the past ages as any man that lives to-day, a person whom I know intimately. He says, on page 140 of "Wealth and Prog ress," that in 1496 wheat was 5 shillings and 5 pence ha'-penny, and in 1514 it was 5 shillings and 4 pence. If we take the average for the decades in which each of these years occur, which Is still better, we will find the result to be the same. The average price of wheat from 1441 to 1450 was 5 shillings 4Ui.il 3 penes &nd 3- farthings; rora 1431 to 1500 It was 5 shillings and 3 farth- j ings, and from 1511 to 1520 it was 6 shillings and 8 pence 3 farthings. Mr. Harvey That price is not per bushel. Mr. Horr No, not per bushel, per j quarter, but it shows that wheat had j been steadily advancing instead of go ing down as you claim. Now I proceed. The next thing I desire to call your at tention to, is the matter we were talk ing about when we closed last night the question whether the framers ot the bill of 1792. intended to establish two measures of value. Unit of Value Now I have before me a letter of Mr. Leach, who was for many years the director of the mint, a man whom I know well, and who is considered authority on all the money matters in the United States. He was one of the commissioners, appointed, I think, by President Cleveland, to go abroad upon this subject. He takes precisely the same view that Judge Vincent took. He tells us, "if, as Mr. Turck says, the silver dollar was the unit which meas ured the value of the gold coins from 1792 to 1873, what becomes of the act of January 18, 1837, (supplementary to the act of 1834, which changed the ratio in coinage to 15.98 to 1), in which acts no reference whatever is made to units, but in prescribing the silver coin says: 'The dollar shall be the weight of 4124 grains.' Nothing about unit. And the gold coin of the weight for the eagle shall be 258 grains, and that for all sums whatever the eagle shall be legal tender of payment for $10. The true reason that the gold dollar was reduced in weight in 1834 to con form to the new ratio, rather than the silver dollar, was that gold, being under-valued by the ratio of 15 to 1, gold coins con stituted no material part of our cir culation." Just as I stated last night exactly. "The bulk of the circulation in 1834 consisted of silver coins and it was easier, practically, to change the gold dollar than the silver dollar. Does not Mr. Turck perceive that this claim that the silver dollar was the unit of value is inconsistent with the bimetallic system? The bimetallic sys tem presumes a unit of account, a unit of name or number to be represented in coinage by a given quantity of gold and a given quantity of silver. If either is the sole measure, the system is not bimetallic. So, if the silver dollar was the unit of value in this country from 1792 to 1873, we did not have a bimetal lic but a silver metallic system." This is signed by E. O. Leach, ex-director of the mint. I submit that that decision was ex actly in accordance with the facts, but I find in the report of the mint for 1868-84, the document submitted by; Mr. Knox, who was the deputy comp troller of the currency, a report in which he stated: "By the act of April 2, 1792, 371 grains of pure silver and 24 grains of pure gold were declared to be equivalent one with the other and to the dollar of account," Harvey Charges Evasion. Mr. Harvey. Yesterday at the close fifter I had quoted as authority for sil ver being the unit, the statute itself, the Utterances of Secretary Gallatin, a de cision by Chief Justice Chase, of the supreme court of the United States, and other numerous authorities, including Roswell G. Horr, of New York, Mr. Horr then admitted that the silver dol lar was the unit of value and the record of yesterday shows that. Now in view of his attempt to try to twist something back into the discussion by which we are to believe him as saying one thing yesterday and something else to-day, I leave him to such fate as the readers of this debate think is proper. (Applause.) Mr. Horr I beg pardon, you misquote me. I stated last night, that I had not got through with the unit of value, that I had some other things to submit, in so many words, and we did not agree to take up any one subject at any par ticular session, only that we would take them in a certain order and let them run until we had finished them. Mr. Harvey And the order was that the crime of 1873, as we call it, came next after the discussion of the unit. Mr. Horr I am not through with that yet. Mr. Harvey Well, I am, and I will go on. (Laughter.) "Words are our am munition in this debate, 60,000 words apiece being allowed to us, and if the readers think that I have neglected some side issues that Mr. Horr has in troduced, I want to tell them now that I do it in order to devote my part of the words in this debate to that which will do them more good than following Mr. Horr off on side tracks. (Applause.) To understand how silver could be demonetized in this Republic, the reader should understand that we then had paper money and no silver or gold was in circulation except in California. The same situation existed in England following the French wars in 1816, when silver was dropped from the mints there. The consracy to demonetize silver was regardeu by those engaged in it as a business transaction, just as those who visit Washington and other capitals to accomplish by legislation a sugar trust or a trust on school-books, or anything else. i The Act of 1873. The conspiracy originated in London. European financiers had discovered that the demonetization of silver by Eng land had no effect on the commercial parity of the two metals at the ratio fixed by France. It was, therefore, cur rent that in order to break the com mercial parity and substantially de preciate silver, all of the great govern ments would have to be included in the legislation needed. The subject was discussed among these financiers in formally in London and Paris, and very few were included among those who understood its ultimate effect. A good deal of diplomacy, concealment and misrepresentation was practiced la se curing the co-operation of politician in Germany, France and the United States. The subject was discussed without dis closing the ultimate aim of those who directed the conference. Following his trip to London and Paris, Mr. Sherman introduced a bill in 1868 that was on its face intended to establish the gold standard. Senator Morgan, of New York, jumped on it, in the finance committee, with "all fours." And Sherman saw that Morgan under stood genuine bimetallism, and this bill died that day and was never heard of again. Senator Morgan's term of office expired in 1869, and at the very next session another bill made its appear ance. Those who took an open and avowed interest in the new measure were Mr. Linderman, director of the mint, and Mr. Knox, the comptroller of the treasury, who at the end of his term of office became president of a national bank in New York, John Sher man in the senate, and Representatives Hooper, of Massachusetts, and Stough ton, of Michigan, in the house. The bill this time went to a committee, in which the second attempt to leave out the silver dollar was again discovered and it was inserted at the ratio of 15 to 1, which was the French ratio. This provided for a dollar of 384 grains. This was the equivalent of the French 5 franc piece. To knock this dollar out surreptitiously at the last moment then became the plan of the conspirators. A Passage in Coin. Mr. Horr You will excuse me, Mr. Harvey, but previous to commencing my discussion of the law of 1873 I call your attention to a passage on page 9 in your book, because you have already announced here to-day that you pro pose to convince that what this book says is absolutely true, and that I am wrong about it You say, prior to 1873 there were 1105,000,000 of silver coined by the United States and $8,000,000 of this was in silver dollars. Now, I un derstand you have since corrected that amount. I make no point upon the fact that you were in error as to the amount; such errors occur with every one, but I am told that in your last book indeed, I have it you correct that statement. But this is what I want to call your attention to: 'About $100,000,000 of foreign silver had found its way into this country prior to 1860. It was principally Spanish, Mexican and Canadian coin. It had all been made legal tender in the United States by the act of conjgress. We needed more sil ver than we had, and congress passed laws making all foreign silver coins legal tender in this country. I will read you one of those laws they are scattered all through the statutes prior to 1873.' "Here Coin took up a copy of the laws of the United States relating to loans and the currency, coinage and banking, published at Washington. He said a copy could be obtained by any one on writing to the treasury depart ment. He then read from page 240 as follows: 'And be it further enacted. that from and after the passage of this act the following foreign silver coins shall pass current as money within the United States, and to be receivable by tale for the payinent of ail debts and de .mands, at the rates following; that is to say: The Spanish pillar dollars and the dollars of Mexico, Peru and Bolivia, etc' Now, I have the coinage laws of the United States, every one that has ever been passed since 1792, and I state, Mr. Harvey, that in no law within the lids of that book are all the foreign silver coins made a legal tender. I defy you to show a single law that states anything of the kind. And the very law which you quote where you stopped wifh the "etc." if you had fin ished the quotation and had read the whole of the law it .would have shown you that your first statement was not true. (Applause.) You left off the very part which restricted the legal tender quality of foreign coins. Mr. Harvey Do you want me to an swer you now? At Close Range. j Mr. Horr Certainly. Mr. Harvy It provides the amount that each shall be received for, received by tale. Mr. Horr Certainly, but unless they are up to the standard they are not le gal tender. Mr. Harvey t Can I answer you further? Mr. Horr I will get the very lav quoted from, because it is a good while afterward. You skipped the clause that made the gold dollars also a legal tender. You are asking me questions. What made you do that? Mr. Harvey Mr. Horr, in writing a book or making a speech, when your number of words are limited, unless you want to confuse the reader with a great big voiume, In making a quota tion it is not necessary to quote that which is not pertinent to the subject you are treating; otherwise, you load down the book till no one will read it. (Applause.) Mr. Horr I agree with you, but when you state that the government passed a law requiring or making silver coins a legal tender and also in the same act they made gold coins a legal ten der, why did you quote the silver part and leave the gold out, unless ycu wanted to impress your readers with the fact that silver was considered the most important, which wasn't true? Mr. Harvey Can I answer you now? Mr. Horr Yes, I have no written es say; I am here to work. (Applause.) Mr. Harvey When a man is discuss ing cattle he doesn't talk hogs. Mr. Horr Some times cattle and hogs are the same. Mr. Harvey And when a man is dis cussing silver and the manner in which it was treated by our forefathers, and comparing it with the way in which it is treated by you people now, it wasn't necessary to refer to how they treated gold or copper. (.Loud and continued applause. Mr; Horr Unless your treatment Is such that you are misleading your readers, as to the manner of legislation upon that subject. "Mr. Harvey You are misleading yourself. Mr. Horr No, I am not. What made you etop with your "etc."? Mr. Harvey Because I had quoted all of the statute necessary to show that they had made foreign silver legal ten der. Mr. Horr No, you hadn't; you had quoted all there was necessary to show that they had made legal tender certain coins if there had been nothing at tached to it. Mr. Harvey There is nothing at tached to it. Mr. Horr There is; I will read it, Mr. Harvey You refer to the amounts for which the Spanish coin of such a name is received in American money, and the Mexican coin for so much, the British coin for so much, meaning to tell the American people how much they could pass that coin for as expressed in our money. That is not necessary in order to establish the principle I was stating that foreign sil ver was legal tender in this country. The point is this: Our mints tested these foreign coins and valued the sil ver that was in them. The alloy of much of that coin was different from our alloy, so it was necessary to assay those foreign coins and see how much they were worth in our money; that the mints did and congress put into that act how much a certain foreign coin was worth in our money, and that Is stated in that statute that he accuses me of leaving out what was unneces sary for me to state in establishing the principle that our laws raade foreign sliver legal tender. (Applause.) Mr. Horr When you left out that you left out the very fact which showed that a number of foreign coins were not a legal tender, because none were made such except they came up to a certain standard. But away on ahead you speak of 1873. Now, up to 1873, you said that they had made all these a legal tender. Did you think so? Here is the law of 1857, passed upon that same subject, when they declared that none of them should be legal tender. and required the mints of the country to melt up and recoin them all, and re pealed the very law that he has been talking about. (Applause.) That is the fact about it. Now, I admit that this is a serious matter, I admit that I had no idea for a moment that he could defend the proposition. To me it is preposterous. Do you claim that all the silver coin that was in the United States at that time was a legal tender? Why, not anywhere near half of it was ever legal tender. Mr. Harvey Defends His Statements. Mr. Harvey Mr. Horr accuses me of misrepresentation. Now, I never have attempted yet in dealing with the pub lic or any one else to mislead them. And in dealing with this financial ques tion I have looked at both sides of the question to judge it from its merits. But I will settle one question of mis representation that I am charged with right here, because it settles several at once, and will leave Mr. Horr to explain something. In reading this section that I quoted in the book as to foreign coin, he asks me why I didn't put gold in along with silver, and said that the statute so read, gold and silver, and that I had stated gold. Now, I call Mr. Horr's attention to the statute that I quoted, and gold is not in it. It says silver only. (Applause.) A man is not guilty of misrepresentation every time somebody acouses him of it. (Ap plause.) On that same page I said that the statement made by gold standard advocates that only $8,000,000 of silver was in circulation prior to 1873 was not true, and that instead of $8,000,000 ia silver being in circulation prior to 1873, there was $105,000,000 in silver in cir culation prior to that time coined at our own mints. Now, he says that that $105,000,000 is not correct. What is the correction? I did make a mistake. The treasurer had made a mistake in the book that I copied it from. When he corrected the mistake six months after wards it read $143,000,0ou. (Applause.) That is the only misrepresentation that the book is accused of. Mr. Horr Mr. Harvey, I am sorry to have to take you back again to this statute, but I know you desire to get this thing correct. I cannot think you intentionally try to mislead these peo ple and the people of this country. The law which you marked and sent to me is not the law at all that you quote in your book. Gold and Silver Clause. Mr. Harvey How do you know it Is not? Mr. Horr It is not; it is not the same language, it is not the same words. Take your book and I will read word for word; there is a gold clause pre ceding this silver one. Mr. Harvey That has a silver and gold clause. Mr. Horr That has, but that is not the one you quoted from. Don't mis understand me. That is not the law that you put part of and took off the rest. Now take your book and watch: "And be it further enacted, that after and from the passage of this act, the following foreign silver coins shall pass current as money within the United States and be receivable by tale for the payment of all debts and demands, at the rates following, that is to say: The Spanish pillar dollar" is that there? lr. Harvey Mr. Horr Mr. Herr Well, is that there? Mr. Harvey I will bring you the act that includes that. This is a republica tion of the statute. Mr. Horr But I have got it as you quote it. Mr. Harvey But this is a. copy of 1S94. I will bring it to you at; the next session. Mr. Horjr-The- one you takeia not tfie one yon quote. The one Mr. Greer handed me provides for silver; this is the money of Mexico, Peru and Central America, and you stop at Bolivia. This is not the money of Mexico, Peru and Bolivia, Mr. Harvey Thi3 13 Mexico, too, isn't it? Mr. Horr Ah, but it is not the same law no use talking. Mr. Harvey Mr. Horr, I will bring you the statute at the next session. Mr. Horr I wish you would, I would like to see it, and gold is in front of the one you quote. Now, I simply wish to say he left off, at Peru and Bolivia, the following: "Of not less than .897 in fineness, and 400 grains in weight at 100 cents each; and the five-franc pieces of France, of not less than .900 in fineness and 384 grains in weight, at 93 cents tach." Now, that did not make all the silver coin of those countries legal tender as he said they were, and if he had printed the whole law there would not be a chance to de ceive the people on that subject, and If my point is not well taken I don't know when a poiEt is made out. Now I call your attention next: On page ten, you say on account of the scarcity of sil ver both Jefferson and Jackson recom mended that dimes, quarters and halves would serve the people better than dol lars until more silver bullion could be obtained. This was the reason why only about $8,000,000 of the $105,000,000 of silver was coined into dollars. You gave it that it was on account of the scarcity of the silver. When you got over to the eighteenth page of your book you must have forgotten what you had said on page ten I know folks do that sometimes, it cannot be helped because, you there give the table from Mullhall, the London statistician, in which you show silver was not scarce at that time. You show it was with one exception the most plentiful that it had been at any one time during the ex perience of the government. Coin Again in Evidence. Mr. Harvey I am now ready to an swer Mr. Horr as to the statute he has claimed is misquoted. Mr. Horr, will you please open now "Coin's Financial School" at that disputed statute? Mr. Horr Ready. Mr. Harvey (quoting from Coin) "And be it futher enacted, that from and after the passage of this act, the following foreign silver coins shall pass current as money with in the United States and be receivable by tale for the payment of all debts and demands at the rates following, that is to say: The Spanish pillar dollars, and the dollars of Mexico, Peru and Bolivia." That Is as far as the quota tion goes. Mr. Horr Read the rest. Mr. Harvey Tvi.t is as far a3 I quoted. You said I misquoted it. Mr. Horr I did not. I never claimed you quoted it wrong at all. Let me see the book, please. (Laughter and ap plause.) Here (referring to the book), that has gold in the first, just as I told you, and that is the one I read from, and that is what you said had no gold connected with it. Mr. Harvey I said I quoted it cor rectly. Section 2 is as I read it in the book. What appears in another sec tion I don't care about. Mr. Horr I shall appeal to the notes of the reporter that you said the one you quoted from had no gold connected with it, if I remember rightly. Mr. Harvey I understood Mr. Horr to say that in making the quotation, I had omitted the word gold. Mr. Horr Not at all. I never said any such thing. Mr. Harvey This is a great question we are debating, affecting the welfare of 65,000,000 of people, and the trifling away of words and time by a quarrel introduced here over trifling matters that do not affect the principles we are discussing, one way or the other, in dicates upon the part of the other side a lack of appreciation of the question involved. (Applause.) Now, briefly to satisfy him about Jef ferson: I said that Jefferson ordered the coins made into small coins to bet ter serve the people, and on account of the scarcity of silver both silver and gold were scarce then. There was abundant silver in the world as com pared with gold, 30 to 1, but it was not in the United States. (Applause.) Here in the United States silver was scarce. Jefferson was a patriot and a states man. He undecstood these little wants of the people aa they are not under stood now. The Gold Standard Law. Mr. Horr We now come to the dis cussion of the law which changed this nation from a bimetallic nation to a single standard nation, the law of 1873, which brother Harvey kindly names a "crime." It has been called that so long that there Is nothing novel in the name. I purpose to show you during this discussion, that no law has ever been passed by the American congress which was freer from taint, which was more carefully examined, which was more completely and fully understood than the law of 1873. The statement which he read to you that the scheme was concocted in London is a simple assertion upon which he cannot pro duce ane scintilla of reputable truth, not one word. In 1834, the law as to mintage was changed, in a material manner, for the first time; it was done by decreasing the amount of gold in the gold dollar. It was done if the men who did It. are able to tell why they did it because experience showed those people that gold would not circulate under the ratio of 15 to 1. The cheaper dollar, which was silver, had driven the gold currency out of the United States. I don't know that any one disputes that. I know that the history of that legisla tion bears me out in stating that, and that that only, was tne reason for changing the ratio between the two metals. It was done for the purpose ot getting -some gold currency into the United States. Benton said so, they all said so, and the dispute was entirely; upon the question as to whether theyj should change the ratio from 1 to 15, so low as to make it take 16 ounces ofl silver for one of gold. Several memberg of that congress insisted that, if that was done silver would leave the coun try and that we would be doing busi ness very soon upon a gold basis, and with gold currency only. But, It was done and, as those men predicted, sil ver ceased to be the measure of values in the United States. I don't say, Mr. Harvey, "ceased to be the legal meas ure." It was lawful to use the silver dollar after that the same as before, but I say; the people refused to use the silver dol lar in making payments. Why? Simply because they could sell the silver dol lar and get more gold dollars for a quantity of silver dollars than the face of the silver dollars called for, and so a man with the least grain of common; sense sold his silver, paid his debt and pocketed the balance. Brother Harvey in his book says .the coin was worth 2 per eent, the silver, away down to 1873, 2 on the dollar, or 2 cents, mora any way than gold. They changed the ratio then and it was not changed again until, perhaps, 1853 am I right, 1853? when they passed a law providing for the subsidiary coinage of silver. That law was intended to keep the silver cur rency, the little change money, in this country. Up to that time; the silver quarters and dimes were just as good aa the silver, and when I was a boy, many is the time I have seen the silver smiths of the United States melting down the quarters and dimes of the United States because they could get their silver cheaper that way than they could by buying the bullion. That de pleted us, destroying the small change of the United States, and the remedy was a simple one. It had already, as I remember it, been adopted by England; it has since been adopted by nearly all the civilized nations of the world, and lately Japan has adopted it, if I am right. I don't know but she would now be called civilized since a few weeks ago. (Laughter.) The way they man aged to keep it in circulation was by; putting less silver Into the silver coin, that is in the half dollar, quarter dol lar and dime, a less proportion than was to be in the regular standard dollar, and they made the coin so small that no one could afford to send It out of the country, nor could smiths afford to melt it, because then they could not get silver as cheap as to buy the bullion, and in that way fhey kept our sub sidiary silver coin in circulation in the United States. Now, I have given this simply, Mr. Harvey, because it explains one of the provisions that crept into the law of 1873 during its progress through congress. European Influences. Mr. Harvey Mr. Horr says that I have no proof that the scheme was con cocted in London to demonetize silver in me unuea aiaies. wnen i was a boy I went into a court house one day to hear a criminal trial, and I heard a lawyer say, "when a crime is com mitted and you want to detect the crim inal, look for the man that is benefited by the crime." (Applause.) Reasoning; by induction will more invariably lo cate the criminal than any uncertain human testimony.- Silver was demone tized in England, and in England only, prior to the day it was demonetized in this country. That was where the movement started that is another evi dence. London bankers initiated the Paris conference of 1867, at which Mr. John Sherman was present, therefore I have the right to say the conspiracy originated in London. Mr. Horr says that the science of money is hard to un derstand. Ever since the money-lend ers or tne worm shackled the people oc the world they have taught the people that money was hard to understand (applause); that it is one of those dif ficult things, as Mr. Horr once said in his speech, "It gives me a headache to think of it" (laughter); and you are not competent to study it or understand it, and as long as they can make you be lieve thai they have you in their power, as this debate later will disclose. You who study chemistry and can under stand the most difficult problems oC science chemistry and other sciences that would make a banker's head dizzy to contemplate you, we are told, con not understand the simple proposition of money; that which you come into the use of every day. Mr. Horr has only taught in this debate a proposition, that it is the interest of every selfish money-lender in the world to advocate, and he is here advocating it. (Ap plause.) In 1873, when this treacher ous act was passed, there was no specie currency in thi3 country. During all the years, from 1792 to 1861, when it was actually in use and being tested for. its merit, no one proposed to demone tiy.o pithpr of the metals. exceDt some money-lenders from Europe who pro posed it in 1854. (Applause.) But at. that time, 1873, when it was not in cir-. culation and was not needed, the move ment was begun and consummated. And, as one congressman said when the bill was offered in congress, "We are not using gold and silver as money, have not yet considered an act for thai resumption of specie payment, and the introduction of t) s bill at the present time either means a trick or is a farce worthy of being caricatured by Thomaa Nast," and yet Mr. Horr goes back and argues a change made in 1834 to show: you why congress' was solicitous a"boufr this matter at the time when we were not using gold and silver at all. I again caution the reader that all dis cussion by Mr. Horr or ratios, as ha threw in a few moments ago, belongs in tne secona cnapter 01 Coin s t man cial School," and when we.get to it, wilK be time enough to argue-it, and when we do, it will not be sucb an abstrusen science as to give a man a headache t understand it, (Applause.)

STATE JOURNAL, SATURDAY EVENING, JtTLY 27, 1895. 11 KORR AND HARVEY. THIRD DAY OF THE GREAT SIL VER DEBATE. The Alleged Crime of 183 Takes to the Session Getting Down to the Intrinsic Fart of the Question Ti a Day Off. (Copyrighted, 1895, by Azel F. Hatch.) Chicago, July 18. The Horr-Harvey Eilver debate was continued to-day from 10 a. m. to 1 p. m., a change hav ing been made in order that copy can be carefully revised by the contestants prior to its delivery to the newspapers, and for other reasons. Mr. Horr again opened. Mr. Horr Previous to entering upon a discussion of the law of 1573 I desire to state something as to my personal relations in this debate, because my op ponent yesterday stated: "Mr. Horr has only taught in this debate a propo sition that is in the interest of every eelfish money-lender in the world to ad vocate, and he is here advocating it." I say to my opponent now I am not a money-lender, I have not a dollar's interest in any banking institution or American corporation or any other cor porations on the face of the earth. I have spent my entire life in working for a living; all the early part of that life was spent in hard work on a small farm. Now, having stated this, I desire to say to my friend, I have no prejudice against men who have been more for tunate than myself, and who have ac cumulated money where I have not. I do not think that a man becomes a scoundrel necessarily because he saves a part of what he earns. I have been In every corner, every nook of the state in which my friend was born; the hills and the valleys of West Virginia are familiar to me; I have traveled through her sheep-growing counties, been in her mines and her lumber camps; I have learned something of her people. I do not (hink it is anything against a man if he even becomes a stockholder in a national bank. I am informed. Brother Harvey, that your father is fortunate enough to own stock ,a the Kanawha National bank; am I right about that? Mr. Harvey No, sir; he does not. Mr. Horr Did he ever? Mr. Harvey Never -did. Mr. Horr Well, it wouldn't hurt him if he had, would it? Mr. Harvey No, sir. Mr. Horr He could own stock in the bank and still keep honest, couldn't he? Mr. Harvey Yes. Mr.- Horr A man could be successful in life without creating in me any spirit of envy. Easy to Understand. V Mr. Harvey Yesterday Mr. Horr un dertook to impress on you how difficult it was for anybody to understand the science of money, except the inference j was bankers. I criticised that by call- ing your attention to the fact that that impression had been attempted to be made upon the minds of the people through all the history of money, and that it had assisted them in causing the people to abandon a consideration of their financial system, and leave it to those people who were enriching themselves by it and who would make it to suit their interests. Therefore, it was to their interest to make you be lieve that you knew nothing about it and never would know anything about it. (Applause.) I then added that you (Mr. Horr) were here repeating that poisonous argument. I did not mean to criticise Mr. Horr personally. That he was an advocate of a pernicious principle did not mean that Mr. Horr himself was a bad man. This great question is not going to be decided -by the American people by any advocate parading himself before them as hav ing been a horny-fisted working man at one time in his life. (Long and con tinued applause.) I do not object to Mr. Horr giving the evolution of his life. I do think it was a little unfair to have omitted that in that evolution he finally became a bank president. That statement should have gone with the balance in the play to popular fa vor. I do not deny that Mr. Horr and numerous selfish bank presidents have at one time been toilers of the soil. The minds and character of men are molded only in par,t by their early asso ciations. As they grow older in this feverish age, where money has been erected as a god, selfish motives maks them climb from one place to another until it has become a proposition that a man can only win in this world by his ability to make money, and the fact that a man is raised on a farm and afterwards gets into the whirlpool of city life among capitalists and corpor ations and becomes an employe of cor porations, even at wages equivalent in each day to two months' salary of a working man, we are not to be blamed for believing that their characters are molded by subsequent events in their lives. The value of the debate yesterday was in this. A studied misrepresenta tion has gone before the people of the United States that there was only eight millions of dollars of silver coined by the United States prior to 1873. Now, meeting face to face with a representative of the other side of the question, this debate now carries to the people of the United States the admitted fact that there was $143,000, 000 of silver coined prior to 1S73. Mr. Horr In reference to my having been a bank president, I omitted it not because I was ashamed of the fact, I now propose to take up this ques tion of the origin of the law of 1S73, which our silver friends denounced as a crime. That bill first originated a little before the year 1S70. it -was drafted after consulting a large num ber of experts Revision of Mint Laws, We nad never had a revision of the mint laws for a great number of years, and the men in charge of the mint thought that the time had come when something should be done. Among the men who were consulted upon the question were Mr. Boutwell, the secre tary of the treasury; Mr. Knox, deputy controller of the currency; Mr. Linder man, director of the mint, and Mr. Parsons, superintendent of the mint at Philadelphia. I deny that it had its origination in England or London. I defy Mr. Harvey to prove one single item that had any reference to the British people controlling or directing this matter. Thousands of the bill were sent broadcast to all parts of the country. The bill prepared by Mr. Knox was in dorsed by Secretary Boutwell of the treasury and transmitted to the sen ate on April 25, 1S70. The bill as it was at that time drafted dropped the dollar silver coin of the United States and changed the unit of value. That was in the original bill as it was sent to the senate, with a letter from the secretary. Mr. Harvey Mr. Horr, permit me. Have you that bill and those letters with you? Mr. Horr I have not them here to day, but I have them in the city, I think. Mr. Harvey Will you produce them during the debate? Mr. Horr I will if I -have them; I don't know whether I brought them with me, but I think I did. Mr. Patterson wrote to Mr. Knox and his letter was printed in the public documents for I will-say to this house that every single document I have re ferred to I copied from the books of the government in the city of Washington, myself individually, so I know what I am talking about. Mr. Patterson said: "The silver dollar, half-dime, and three-cent piece are dispensed with by this amendment. Gold becomes the standard money, of which the gold dol lar is the unit. Silver is subsidiary, embracing coins from the dime to the half dollar." Corruption in Congress. Mr. Harvey In the interrupted pre sentation of demonetization I had called the attention of the people to the condition, morally, of congress at the time of the passage of the act. I had referred to impeadhment charges against Vice-President Colfax in 1873 for fraud in connection with legisla tion; to the resignation of Secretary of War Belknap for bribery. I now pro ceed, after first stating for Mr. Horr's information that Del Mar, the English historian, says that the act of 1S16 de monetizing silver in England had a clause in it that it might be reinstat ed by the king; that that clause giv ing a right to reinstatement was re pealed in 1871, and that the act in which it was repealed was within two weeks in the hands of Mr. Knox, the comptroller of the United States treas j ury (applause), and was in part the basis of the act in this country. Now I proceed with this argument as to what occurred in congress, and I shall pass the books to Mr. Horr. By examining the records of the day and the newspapers we find that there was an era of corruption in congress at that time. Clinton Colgate confessed before the ways and means committee of 1873 to the use of money to influence the incorporation of special features in the internal revenue bill, testifying among other things that Charles Sherman, of Ohio, a brother of Senator Sherman, had been paid $10,000 by the New York Stock Exchange in connection with the revenue bill. The officials of the stock exchange were subpoenaed, and the facts developed, that while the money had not been paid, Judge Sherman had rendered a bill to the exchange for his services, and, as he claimed, for secur ing the services of his brother, Senator Sherman, to put the bill through. (Ap plause.) Colgate, when he testified, knew of the transaction, and supposed the bill had been paid. As Judge Sher man was the a a United S.ates district judge, the ways and means committee turned the whole matter over to the judiciary comniittee, directing- it to take action looking to his impeach ment and I stop right here to read a letter of Judge Sherman to a member of the stock exchange of New York (page 2125, No. 3 appendix, third ses sion. Forty-second congress, Congres sional Globe.) Sherman's Letter". "Judge's Room, United States Court, "Northern District of Ohio. "Cleveland, March 27th, 1872. "Dear Sir I wrote you yesterday on my return from an absence of some time in too feeble terms of my feelings as regards the death of your father, yet as the mortal moves on, so, though we never shall forget him, yet business must be attended to. Last summer, at the instance of your father, I attempted to have such a construction placed upon the internal revenue laws as would re lieve the bankers and brokers from the payment of a heavy tax. There was a partial success, but such a boasting or rather publicity given to it that the at tention of the secretary of the treas ury was called to it, and he forbid the order to be issued. There was then no remedy but in congress. I so suggested to your father. He then wrote me the enclosed letter. "Upon the authority and in consid eration of what was said in it I went to work: Had interviews with Mr. Bout well, with John Sherman, chairman of the senate finance committee: with General Garfield and other prominent members of congress, and the result was that it became the policy of the administration to repeal not only the tax in question, but the stamp and oth er obnoxious taxes. I think this re sult was brought about by discussion raised and Influences used by me. Th taxes are not yet repealed, but they are certain to be so within the next 60 days. If your father was living there would be no necessity of asking about it, but as the agreement was made through him, I fear there may arise a misun derstanding, and therefore ask you to inquire into it and ascertain whether the committee of the stock exchange etill recognize the contraet. If they do it is all right and I will still continue my labors. Let me hear from you at your earliest convenience. Please pre serve the letter." (Meaning the letter that reflected the contract.) That is signed by C. T. Sherman, brother of John Sherman. Mr. Hanrey Kebuked. Mr. Horr Before proceeding with the history of this bill I desire to say one word, and that is this: The attempt of Mr. Harvey to smirch the congress of the United States and make the people of this country believe that the people who act as members of congress in this country as a rule are corrupt and have been subject to purchase and sale can be characterized only as infamous. (Applause.) No nation on the face of the earth ever had a purer set of legis lators than have been in the congress of this country during its existence. There sit before me several members of congress who served with me in ssv eral congresses, and I appeal to each and every one of them if during their entire services they ever saw or mis trusted that money was being used to purchase members of congress. I served sik years without ever knowing that an instance of that kind had occurred during the congresses in which I served. WThen men start out 'with the proposition that in order to prove their case they must also prove that the majority of the best men of this country are thieves and scoundrels. they had better stop before they begin. (Applause.) Mr. Harvey Did they impeach Judge Sherman? Mr. Horr Judge Sherman resigned immediately, they drove him from the bench. (Applause.) The public opin ion of this country would not permit a man to hold a public position who would do a thing of that kind. Bat what has that to do with the question whether Mr. Knox openly and square ly presented this bill to congress? Mr. Knox said himself: "The coinage of the silver dollar piece, the history of which is here given, is discontinued in the proposed bill. It is by law the dollar unit" you read that yesterday "and assuming the value of gold to be 15 times that of silver, being abou: the mean ratio for the last six year, it is worth in gold a premium of Jibout 3 per cent, its value being $1.03 12-100, and intrinsically more than 7 per cent premium in our other silver coin, its value thus being $1.07 43-100. The i present laws, consequently, authorize a gold dollar unit and a silver dollar unit differing from each other in in trinsic value. The present gold dollar piece is made the dollar unit in the pro posed bill and the silver dollar piece was discontinued." Intrinsie Value. A Voice in the Audience When was that written? i Mr. Horr Just before it was sent to congress in 1870. It was a part of the report that Secretary Boutwell sent to the senate in the spring of 1870; it ac- companied the bill and was printed in the public documents as being an ex planation of the bill by order of the senate. Now, Mr. Sherman was chairman of the finance committee. This bill went immediately to his committee. He said only in August of 1893 as follows: "Mr. President: The finance committee carefully examined that bill; we were not in any hurry about it; it was sent to us in April, 1870. In December, 1870, the committee on finance, after a careful examination, after having the bill printed and sent by order of the senate to everyone who desired to read it or look over it, reported it unani mously. That committee was com posed of Messrs. Sherman, Williams of Oregon, Cattell, Warner, Fenton, and Bayard. The bill was reported to the senate December 19, 1870, after lying in our committee room eight months. The nature of the bill I have already described. The dollar was dropped from the coinage of the bill framed in the treasury department No one pro posed to reissue it. The Pacific coast had six intelligent, able, and compe tent senators on the floor, representing a population of not more than a million then, if that much. They would have carefully looked out for the interests of silver if the bill affected them in juriously, but the silver dollar at that time was worth more than the gold dol lar." Passed by a Tea and Nay Vote "It was passed by a yea and nay rote" and let me say right here, so far as I have been able to discover that is the only yea and nay vote taken during the entire passage of this bill, which ran along for nearly three years. Now mark: The senators from the Pa cific slope, including Senator Stewart of Nevada, voted for the bill, and Sen ator Sherman voted against it. Mr. Sherman tells us that he did not vote against it because it struck out the sil ver dollar, but because it compelled the government to pay the expense of coinage, and he thought the people who owned the gold and silver bullion should pay that expense. Now, up to that time had there been any secrecy? The bill was sent from the senate to the house, and on January 13, 1871, on motion of William D. Kelly, the bill was ordered to be printed. February 25, 1871, Mr. Kelly, who was at that time chairman of the committee on "coinage, reported the bill back with an amendment which was in the nature of a substitute. It wjas again printed and again sent back to the committee. The Fifty-first eongress died by constitu tional limitation a few days after the bill had baen thus reported and with out any action upon it by the house. Now, on March 9, 1871, there had been already a special session called of an other congress. Mr. Kelly again in troduced this bill and it was ordered to be printed and referred to the commit tee on coinage when such committee should be appointed. Nothing futher was done about it during that entire extra session. Mr. Harvey As I proceed in a con nected manner, however I will fully answer Mr. Horr. Among the many charges of corrup tion made at this period, 1873, there was one of significance when we con sider that silver was demonetized by a single sentence being omitted from the report of the conference commltee and enrollment of the mint bill, and indi cates the power, in this instance, a corrupt clerk could have. George A. Bassett, clerk of the ways and means committee, 1873, was charged with having demanded $250 per month from the bankers and brokers of New York to assist thm in repealing the tax on borrowed capital, and $5,000 when the act passed. Geore A. Bassett Scored. In the Chicago Tribune of February 21, 1873, an administration paper of that period, now before me on this ta ble for the inspection of Mr. orr, a Washington correspondent sa "As for George A. Bassett, long the erk of the ways and means committee, the story of the use of his privileges are as old as my residence in this city. 1 heard complaints made in California that he had demanded payment for services after experiencing unusual hospitality from the corporations there." This same correspondent in the same issue of this administration paper (the republican party being then in power), speaking of the situation at Washing ton February 21, 1873, the very month in which silver was demonetized, said: "Turkish corruption under the pashas and beys, or Russian official rotten ness, could scarcely be worse than it is here." (Applause.) It was at this congress that silver yvo.3 ueuioneuzea. (Appiause.j iu make plain how the fraud was prac- ticed, I copy into my remarks Sections 15 and 16 of the bill as it is supposed to have been read when on its passage, together with the words fraudulently omitted in brackets. Omit the words in brackets and you have these sec tions as they now read in the statutes; include the words in brackets and you have the sections as the bill was sup posed to have passed congress. Mr. Horr Where is that from? I dcn't understand. Mr. Harvey I take the two sections as they now appear in the statutes and I add between brackets the words that were erased from the bill Mr. Horr By whom? Mr. Harvey (continuing) Surrepti tiously in its passage. Mr. Horr By whom? What procf have you that anything was erased? Mr. -Harvey I'll get to the proof cf that a little later. Mr. Horr Well, let's have it. Text of BUI of '73. Mr. Harvey "Section 15. That tho silver coins of the United States shall be a trade dollar, (a standard dollar), a half dollar or 50-cent piece, a quarter dollar or 25-eent piece, a dime or 10 cent piece; and the weight of the trade dollar shall be 420 grains troy; (the weight of a standard dollar shall be 384 grains troy); the weight of the half dol lar shall be 12 grams and one-half of a gram; the quarter-dollar and the dime shall be respectively one-half and one fifth of the weight of said half-dollar, and said (fractional) coins shall be a legal tender at their nominal value for any amount not exceeding $5 in any one payment." "Sec. 21. That any owner of silver bullion may deposit same at any mint, to be formed into bars, or into dollars of the weight of 420 grains troy, designated in this act as trade dollars, (or into standard dollars of 384 grains), and no deposit of silver for other coinage shall be received; but sil ver bullion contained in gold deposits and separated therefrom may be paid for in silver coin at such valuations as may be, from time to time, established by the director of the mint." Ab the bill passed both houses the unit was on gold, and free and un limited coinage of both metals was pro vided for. By K there was free coin age of silver in the standard silver dol lar and the trade dollars; fractional sil ver coins only were to be regulated hi the treasurer at his discretion. But as enrolled the mints were closed to free and unlimited coinage of silver, except as to the trade dollar, afterwards abolished. The standard silver dollar was fraudulently omitted after the bill had passed both houses. (Applause.) It will be questioned by our best citi zens that such a fraud could be prac ticed and the hesitancy with which they accept its truth attests the integ rity of our citizenship. Before offering my proof, and I promise you it snail be conclusive, I wish to speak of, official crimes. Catting; Down the Dollar. Mr. Horr I wish to say right here that upon the face of his own bill there is a proof that to any man who has studied this question is conclusive. The whole attempt to prove that any such bill ever went from the house and sen ate is false. Does any man in his senses believe that they ever undertook to give free coinage of silver to a stan dard dollar of 3S4 grains? Soon after the meeting of congress in January, 1872, January 6, the bill was reported by Mr. Kelly, chairman of the committee on coinage, with recommen dation that it pass. The bill was read and discussed at length. Mr. Kelly, ou the floor of th house, during hi3 re marks that is, in the second congress, the second time this bill c&me up said: "The senate took up the bill and acted upon it during the last congress and sent it to the house. It was re ferred to the committee on coinage, weights and measures, and received as careful attention as I have ever known a committee to bestow upon any meas ure. We proceeded with great delib eration to go over the bill, not only by sections, but line by line and word by word. The bill has not reived the same deliberate consideration from the committee on coinage of this house, but the attention of each member was brought to it at the earliest day of this session. Each member procured a copy of the bill, and there has been a thorough examination of the bill." Now, then; the next day, January 7, 1872, the bill, after further discussion, was again recommitted, and on Febru ary 9, 1872, it was again reported from the coinage committee by Samuel Hooper, a member of congress from Massachusetts, and recommitted, sent back to the committee. February 13, 1872, it was again reported by Mr. Hooper with amendments, printed and made the general order for March 12, 1872, until it should be disposed of. Anril 9. 1872, the bill came up in the house for consideration. Mr. Hooper, who had the bill in charge, made a prepared speech upon it of ten columns and explained the provisions of each section of the bill. He said: "Section 16 re-enacts the provisions of the ex isting laws defining the silver coins and their weights respectively." Now, mark "except in relation to the silver dollar, which is reduced in weight from 412 grains to 384 grains, thus mak ing it a subsidiary coin in harmony with the silver coins of less denomina tion, to secure its concurrent circula tion with them." What Kelly Said. Mr. Harvey I pause a moment in the logical arrangement of this argument to reply to Mr. Horr. He says that Judge Kelly, who was chairman of the committee reporting this bill, said in 1872 something indicating that it was an honest measure. Now, Mr. Horr, I read you from volume 5, part 1, Forty- fQurth congresSi seCond session (Con- gressional Globe, page 170, date, De cember 13, 1876). Mr. Kelly there says: "Mr. Speaker I have none of the re marks quoted from me to withdraw. They were not made on the bill de monetizing the standard silver dollar which was passed and which was a substitute, never read in this house, and, being a substitute, was not the bill to which I had spoken." (Long and continued applause.) On May 10, 1879, page 1235 (Congres sional Record, Vol. 9, Part 1) Mr. Kelly again says: "In 1872, when I made the remarks which were cited by these gentlemen, and which have been fre quently quoted in both houses, and al ways with an air as much as to say that to convict this man of the crime of having been instructed by the logic of events would forever settle this mo mentous question, we were not using coin, and no gentleman in either house appears to have appreciated the scope and magnitude of the silver question or to have given it special study. Henco the bill and I wish the gentlemen to know what that bill was. It was a bill to reorganize the mints, not to revises the coin money of the country, but to reorganize the mints, and it was passed without allusion in debate to the ques tion of the retention or abandonment of the standard silver dollar. "I was chairman of the committea that reported the original bill, and I aver on my honor that I did not know the fact that it proposed to drop tho standard dollar, and did not learn that it had done it for eighteen months after the passage of the substitute offered by Mr. Hooper, when I disputed the fact and was shown the law." (Ap plause.) Important Quotations. Mr. Horr I am familiar with what Mr. Kelly said afterwards, but I am now going to read to you what he said when this bill was up in the house on the report of Mr. Hooper. "I wish to ask Mr. Potter if he knows of any government in the world which makes its subsidiary coinage of full value? The silver coin of England is 10 per cent below the value of gold coin, and acting under the advice of the experts of this country and Eng land and France, Japan has made her silver coinage within the last year 12 per cent below the value of gold coin, and for this reason it is impossible to retain the double standard. The value of gold and silver continually fluctu ates; you cannot determine this year what will be the relative value of gold and silver next year. They were 15 to 1 a short time ago; they are 16 to 1 now. Hence all experience has shown that you must have one standard coin which shall be a legal tender for all others, and then you may promote your do mestic convenience by Having a sub sidiary coinage of silver which shall circulate in a limited value and be re deemable at its face value by your gov ernment. But, sir, I again call theat tention of the house to the fact that the gentlemen who oppose this bill insist upon maintaining a silver dollar worth 3V2 cents more than the gold dollar and 7 cents more than two half-dollars, and that so long as those provisions remain you cannot keep silver coin in tl e country." That is Mr. Kelly's speech which he made right on the bill at the time. Re-enacted Silver Laws. Harvey Give me a jury and Mr. moVn 9n issue for tha lurv to trv and let this be the issue, "Were the words printed in the Record for that day spoken openly in the house?" and I will secure a verdict from that jury that part of them either were deliv ered by request for leave to print, a common custom in congress by which speeches are printed without being ac tually delivered, or that Mr. Hooper read from manuscript and omitted in the delivery certain passages that were afterward printed. While the record disclosed the intention to change the unit to gold, it nowhere revealed the intention to close the mints to silver. Mr. Hooper, on the same day (April 9), goaded to it by an inquisitive member, said (Vol. 3, page 2306) that the bill "re-enacted existing laws in regard to silver, except that it changed the size of the silver dollar from 412 grains standard silver to 384 grains." Mark you, I have quoted his exact words. He stated as a reason that this would take the 3 per cent premium out of the silver in the present silver-dollar as compared with gold. In other words, he conveyed the express understand ing that silver was to be favored. Less silver was to be put in a dollar. He did not say that the silver from which these silver dollars were to be coined was to be purchased nor that the mints were to be closed, but he did say that the bill re-enacted existing laws, ex cept to change the size of the silver dollar. This is the clause providing for the 3S4-grain dollar, with the right to unlimited free coinage, that was sur reptitiously erased from the bill in 1873 before it was enrolled. By the erasure of this provision or by its omis sion in enrolling the bill the mints were to be closed to silver. This was now the plan of the conspiracy. The bill had re-enacted the law of 1853 providing for the purchase of sil ver for fractional silver coins, but that law had left the mints open to the sil ver dollar, but by striking out the sil ver-dollar clause, the mints would be closed to silver. This was the point on which the minds of the conspirators were focused. If the change of the unit from silver to gold passed the gauntlet they were safe; with a copy of the bill sprung at the last moment omitting this sen tence and possibly a' further part of a sentence in one other section that re ferred to it, or with a willing clerk to fraudulently make this omission on en rollment, and their object would be ac complished. Mr. Horr Now, Brother Potter did speak on that debate, and he spoke the words that my friend has quoted. Mr. Potter, in the course of h:s re marks, says just what he (Mr. Harvey) has read, but afterwards ne went on to state: "In the next place this bill pro vides for the making of changes in the legal tender coin of the country, and for substituting a legal tender of only one metal, instead as heretofore of two." You didn't read that part of ir. for the same reason that you left off a part of the statute we talked about yesterdsy, it was not necessary for the points you were making now, but if you had rerul that it would have shown that th-3 pokit you were making was not correct at al'. Now, I submit to this audience .'here is right there in that spesca that you re fer to, positive proof that thar. bill was well understood by the people who were legislating upon it. Mr. Prtt?r op posed the. bill, but he was frank enough to state that one provision in the bill met with his hearty approval, and that was the very provision we ara debating here to-day. Met with Approval. Potter only suggested that it was not necessary at that time, because we were not using either silver or gold as mon ey. At the same time he afterward supported the bill and aided in chang ing the silver coin to the trade dollar. There had never been but 8,000,000 sil ver dollars coined, not quite 8,000,000 up to the passage of that bill. Voice in the Audience Coin or sil ver? Mr. Horr I said silver dollars coined. There had been a large amount of sub sidiary coin, but we lost all cf it by 1853, and we made it subsidiary, aDd the coinage after that remained in the country. Now, England, it is true, had de monetized silver in 1816. They had done it because the men who under stood that subject best in England had concluded it was best; they were the clearing house of the world, they were seeking to get control of doing the business of the world and they had been ages trying to find out what was the trouble when you coin money at a cer tain ratio. They found that when a ratio varied, when it was different from the commercial ratio, one metal or the other disappeared from use among tha people and scientifically they decided it was best to have only one money standard, and they had adopted this away back in 1S16. Now, my friend in his book is mistaken; he tells us that Germany followed the United States. Why, Germany demonetized silver in 1871, not in 1873. The edict was in 1871 and Germany coined no silver (free coinage silver) after 1871. In 1873 the bill was passed by the legislature, but the law was in force before that. That is the record of that government. It is true, the subject had been agitated in this country ever since 1870. We neither followed Germany nor did she follow US. Alter tne rrencu war, vjrcimcmjr threw upon the markets, as I nOw re member it, $300,000,000 of silver; it was in consideration of the fact that that was about to be done that the people of the world set to thinking and acting upon this silver question. There was no conspiracy about it. I want to say to this audience and to the American people that laws of that kind are never planned by conspirators. There i3 no such thing as a great "money power" either in this or any other country that dominates the people of that country. j (Applause.) The people of the United States act independently. (This ended the debate for the flay, and on request of Mr. Horr the debat was adjourned to 1 p. m-. Saturday u
