THE SILVER DOLLAR.

The Toledo Democrat, edited by Gen.
James B. Steadman, one of the bravest
Union soldiers in the Union army, pub
fishes the following in reference to the
great fraud upon the American people;
The greatest fraud ever perpetrated,
except putting Hayes into the White
House, was the law of 1869, making the
principal as well as the interest of our
bonds payable in coin.
The bill destroying the value of silver
as money, and reducingthe means of the
people to pay their debts, was introduced
into the House of Representatives by a
Massachusetts Republican named Hoop
er, and passed by Republican votes. 1t
is Republican measure. passed in the
interests of the bond-holders, and is one
ofthe series of infamous enactments with
which John Sherman enriched himself
and those who employed him, and ruin
ed the industrial interests of the count
nv. Ifany individual had robbed com.
munity with swindling scheme as
John Sherman has damaged the people
of every city, town and village in the
United States, vigilance committee
would have meted out speedy justice to
the offender, and yet the national de.
spoiler-the man who has crushed the
business interests Of forty millions of
people-is still permitted in his own in
terest,,in the interest of the money pow
er, to hold in his hands the interests of
those whom he has wronged and robbed.
If the Democratic party in the coming
campaign in this State strike boldly at
the deep wrongs inflicted uron the peo-
pie by the financial policy of John sher-
man, our victory will be 80 overwhelm-
ing that the masses of the Republican
party will demand the expulsion of the
bloodless robber of the people from the
Treasury Department. The bill restor-
ing the silver dollar as legal tender in
payment of debts passed the Democratic
House last winter by a large majority,
and was strangled in the Senate by John
Sherman, who had it referred TO his com
mittee, where it was killed stone dead.
Il was never heard of after it went to
John Sherman's committee.

MOON TALK.
Was The Moon Al,uay8 DeadP-AS She Was
and as She B-7Re Old, Disputed Cues
ton.

Now that astronomers have almost by
unanimous consent accepted the doctrine
of the development of our system, which
involves the belief that the whole mass
of each member of the system was for
merly gaseous with intensity of heat, they
can no longer doubt that the moon once
had seas and an atmosphere Of consider
able density. The moon has, in fact,
passed through the same changes as our
own earth, though not necessarily in the
same exact way. She was once vapor-
GUS, as was our earth, though not at
the same time nor for go long time.
She was once glowing with intensity OF
heat, though this stage also must have
continued for much shorter time than
the corresponding stage of our earth's
history. Must we not conclude that after
passing through that stage the moon was
for time habitable world as our earth
is noW2 The great masses of vapor and
of cloud which gigt our moons whole
globe, even as in The youth of our earth;
her seas enwrapped her in cloud form,
must at length have taken their place as
seas upon her surface. The atmosphere
which had supported those waters must
at first have been dense by comparison
with the present lunar atmosphere, per-
haps even by comparison with the pres
ent atmosphere of our earth. Then the
glowing surface of the moon gradually
cooled, until at length the moon must
have been a fit abode for life. But wheth-
er, when thus swept and garnished in a
fitness for habitation, the moon actually
became an inhabited world, is ques-
ton which will be variously answer
ed, according to our views respecting the
economy of nature in this respect. Those
who hold that nature MAKES nothing in
vain, will need only to ask whether the
support of life is the one sole purpose
which a planet can subserve; if that
should appear probable, they would at
once decide that the moon must, during
its habitable stage have been inhabited.
Others who, looking around at the work.
ings of nature, as known to us, perceive,
or think they perceive, that there is
much which resembles waste in nature,
will be less confident on this point, They
NAV reason that as of many seeds which
fall upon the ground, scarce one sub
serves the one purpose for which seeds
can be supposed to have been primarily
intended, as many younglings among an
imals perish untimely, as even many ra-
ces and types fail Of their apparent pri-
mary purpose, so our moon, and possibly
many such worlds, may never have sub
served, and never come to subserve that
one chief purpose for which the orbs
peopling space can be supposed TO have
been formed, if purpose indeed reigns
throughout the universe. CornhW Maga'

TWO YEARS ROBBIAG BROUGHT
TOA CLOSE.
From The cleveland HerAld.l

Haskell r. Proctor, a postal clerk on
the c, c. c. & l. Railroad, who lives at
No, s6 Portland street, and has been con
nected with the Post Office Department
about seven years, was arrested last
week by Special Postal Agent Henry,
charged with robbing the mails, Some
two wears since losses Of money from the
mails occurred in Indiana and ONO.
Captain Henry went to work but found
it extremely difficult to locate the rob-
berries, although circumstances seemedto
point to the Cleveland and Columbus
offices. Subsequently Postmaster van
Tine, OF Sandusky, and Reeves, head
clerk of columbus Office, were arrest
ed, when it was thought peculatioons
would stop; but although they were de-
creased somewhat, still the mysterious
robberies went on, and complaints OF
money lost in the mails poured IN. In
the early part of last winter Capt. Henry
concluded that the trouble was with some
of the lines from Cleveland west Upon
this slight basis hegathered little by little
the evidence that fixed the robbery to
the line of the c. c. c.. & l. Railroad.
By the use of test letters, and other
means known to those who are on the
track Of offenders, Capt. Henry finally
fixed suspicion upon Proctor and had
him arrested. Marked money taken
from decoy letter was found upon his
person. He afterwards confessed the
whole matter and was lodged in Jail.

TESTING The SPEED OF PIGEONS.

The great pigeon fly between Harris
burg and this city, a distance of lO4 miles

the distance in the remarkable quick
time of two hours and thirty-two min.
utes. Arthur Chambers won second
prize; time, two hours thirty-four min
utes and thirty seconds. Third prize,
John Dalton, three hours and thirty SET
onds. The fourth bird reached home in
four hours and twelve seconds. The
time of the fifth bird has not been recor-
ded. The next fly, free to all, under the
auspices of Mr.. Joseph Buckley, who Of
fers a gold medal to the owner Of the win
ming bird, comes off on July 4th, between
Paoli and this city. On the 18th another

JURLES DECIDING THAT TLLDEN
WAS ELECTED.

Goshen, June 11.-A very singular
lawsuit came up in Circuit Court to.day.
Las Il, several days after the Presiden-
tial ction, Isaac Ayers, of Elkhart, of
fered'to bet 800 that Tilden and Hend-
ricks had received a majority of the cleo
toral votes cast Several Republican
politicians accepted the offer of Ayers,
and James F. Hunt, a dry goods mer-
chant, was appointed stakeholder, When
the result of the election was declared by
Congress, Hunt turned over the money
to the Republicans under protest, Ayers
at the time declaring he would sue him
for the money. Ayers sued Hunt in Elk
hart and was beaten, but appealed the
case to the Circuit Court, which came up
before Judge Woods and a jury this after
noon. The jury, after hearing the testi-
mony, returned a verdict in favor of Ay-
ers for Sl00. This is the third case OF
the kind that has occurred in the United
States, each one resulting the same as
this one did, Chicago Times.

certain that his conviction will be secur-

full and truthful. The warrant OF FaVors

he will be examined tomorrow. When

V was sick aud didn't feel like going in.
Ever since his arrest he has been most
thoroughly close mouthed. The body
of the girl is to be sent at once to her old

A most important bit of evidence Will
be that of George w. Norris, stable
keeper, who says that Mrs. Avery sent
word for horse and covered carriage
some time last September, to be left ut
her door. She wanted an animal not
afraid of music. 1t was delivered and
hitched in front of her residence, where
the driver left it. She returned 1t herself

FRANCES FIRST STEAM ENGINE

The first steam engine was introduced
into France in 1898, On account of the
revolution. and the check to industrial
enterprise, the manufacture of steam en-
gines by French workmen did not as'
sumo much importance until 1924. The
number of stationary engines has increas
ed in 1852 to 5000, representing 10000
registered horse power; in 1868 to 22,5OO,
representing 6l8,00O registered horse
power; and now they represent 100000
registered, or a 100000 actual horse pow
er, doing the work Of 3l,000,00O men, or
nearly ten times the available mechan'
ical industrial population of the country.
In 1888 the cost OF manual labor in man
ufactured products was sixty per cent,
the raw material costing forty per cent.
Now these proportions are reversed, the
annual production beingabout l2OOOOOO
900 francs. There is therefore an annu-
al saving of 6,O00,0O00O0 francs in con,
sequence of the use of steam engines and
improv ements in machinery.

THE REMAINS OF GRANTLSM.

The investigation which is being con-
Quoted intothe management ofthe Indian
Bureau is creating smell that is pene-
trating the closed doors behind which
the committee is carrying on its investi-
cation, probably through fear lest some
one shall be hurt whom Secretary Schurz
doesn't want to injure. For the past two
days DR.. Curtis has been on the stand,
and is reported to have told some rather
startling tales of fraud, especially in the
prices paid for medical supplies. It is
only another disclosure of the practice oil
overcharging which the committees ol
