THE SCAFFOLD.
Execution of Three Mollie Ma
guires. 81

BLooMsBgRa, Pa, March 25.-Hester,
Tulley and McHugh, the condemned
Nellie Maguires, slept but little last
night, and to-day were early at their de-
votions, which were interrupted ny the
workmen building the scaffold just out
side, AND in full view Of the men, Tul.
ley and McHngh seemed resigned, but
Hester clings tenaciously to hope, and
frequently asserts his innocence. He
was surrounded by his three daughters,
two sons.in-law and other relatives and
friends, When the priests we're snnounc
ed, all collected in McHugh's cell, where
mass was celebrated.
AT 1888 the three condemned men
were led out of their cells to the scat.
fold, attefded by their spiritual advisers
McHugh assembled first,followed by Hes
ter and Tulley. None gave any signs
of fear. Each was given few minutes
to speak; Tulley spoke in low tone to
the priest; McHugh said If he had taken
good advice he.would not now be on the
scaffold: what Hester said was heard
only by his attending priest. The drop
fell at 1107, and at II II the hearts OF
all three men had ceased to best. The
necks Of Tully and McHugh were bro
ken; Hester died Of strangulation. The
bodies of McHugh and Tulley will be
taken to Wilkesbsrre and Hester's to
Locust Gap.

We have received pamphlet OF fif-
teen pages entitled "The Problem Of Re.
sumption Reviewed." written bv A. J
WARNER, Of Marietta. Mr.. WARNER
ranks high among writer's on financial
topics, and anything from his pen is
worthy Of consideration.
One proposition which he seeks to
prove, and in support of which he brings
formidable array Of facts, figures, QUO
tations and arguments is, that convert
bility OF currency is not necessary to its
stability, and that such convertihility
does not secure stability, aud as a con
clusion that convertibiIity Is not desira.
BILE. He says:
ssIt Is now SO generally admitted that,
bv sufficiently limiting the volume of a
paper currency, it will circulate at par
with metallic money, regardless even of
q promise of redemption, that this prin-
ciple viii hardly longer be called in
question"
1t is hardly necessary to say that the
policy of the government issuing paper
to circulate as money without so much
as promise that It will ever be redeem.
ed, will be very gravely questioned bv
many recognized as leaders in the .'green
hack doctrine. 1t is the policy OF ex-
tremists. But Mr.. WARNER cannot be
said to advocate, in this pamphlet, the
adoption Of % paper currency, by its
terms irredeemable, although he is at
some pains to show the feasibility of
such measure.
The policy which he would have adopt
ed, we are led to conclude, is embraced
in this paragraph: ~
"Let Congress restore the old status
OF silver, make It money metal the
same as gold; repeal the Resumption
Act, and provide for the substitution of
United States for National Bank Notes,
limiting the volume to present issue, and
let money legislation come to an end,
and prosperity will return again."
True, It is not here expressly stated
whether the U S. notes are to contain a
'promise Of redemption" or not, but We
may infer from the phrase "present is-
sues" that the notes are to be identical
with the present "greenbacks."
II this he correct inference the meas
ures proposed are not ultra; indeed in
regard to limiting the amount OF curren-
cy to present issues--.hat is, preventing
any expansion--the proposition may be
said to fan short of, rather than to go
beyond, the average wishes of the West.
While we have been forced to learn
that the beauty Of the most symmetrical
theories OF finance are constantly marred
by ihe stubborn facts Of experience, We
recognize the reasoning of Mr.. WARNER
as clear, strong and well sustained.
