THE FREE COINAGE BILL.

The Warner silver bill which passed the
House yesterday, will no doubt pass the
Senate with little delay, for it is measure
that is necessary to complete the remonetiza
ton of silver coin begun by the last Con-
gress. The trick by which silver was de-
prived of its legal tender value in 1873 is
now pretty we'll understood. Mr.. Ewing
fttingly characterized it on Wednesday as
gigantic and mcnstrous conspiracy against
the people of the whole world. The rea-
son for it was that the usurers of the
world had combined to double wealth, to
double private and public debts, and to
double private expenditures upon the
shoulders of the laboring masses of the
people. It added FIVE billions to the wealth
of the creditor class.
The law of 1873, remonetizing the silver
dollar. was but an imperfect measure. It
limited the legal tender value of silver
CONS to bnt one issue, and
imposed restrictions upon the coin
age, designed to limit the amount in circn-
latlon. This circulation has been further re-
str'cted by the persistent efforts of the secra.
tary OF the treasury to throw discre Iii mon
1t, and he has. in furtherance of his nlsn
boarded that coin in the treasury, notwith-
standing the efforts of business men to ,o-
lease it. His policy, and that of Mr.. Haves
has been to play into the hands of the ra7;.
tor class, and the !ongarray Of bankruptcies

The Wild Hunter Row


The Wild Hunters tavern was largely
represented in the municipal police court
yesterday morning, and for downright cuss-
edness the habitues of that caravansary
would easily discount the widest doings Of
the bowling wilderness, or the more classical
iniquity of Calamity Jane in it's palniest
days of fourishing success. When three
men come together and agree to have row,
it generally happens that their inspiration is
directly drawn from the devil, as uncorked
from bottle of fusil oil and birthstone
lightning. So it happened with Messrs.
Rogers, SewaH and Saunders, a full account,
of whose doings and arrest appeared
in yesterdays issue of the GLOBE.
In this instance the lightning played on the
devoted head of John Rogers, add it wasn't
sheet lightning either, as demonstrated in.
the transmutaton of that gentleman's
optics, which looked as if the colors had
been laid on by the business heel of mule.
As he appeared before the court both blink

result of vigorous bounce from the above
named hostlery, the mourning being artistic

most villainous ana shameless manner. The

half Of Rogers, not, however, until the case
had been disposed Of as above stated, the in
oignation being high from the fact of
kogers being committed while his aggressors
were out on security. 1t may be stated that
the affair was probably nothing more than q

Looking Il fter the Bridye.

To the Editor of the Globe.
The many hundreds of our citizens who
daily cross and recross the Wabashaw street
bridge leading to the Sixth ward are pain
fully alive to the apparent insecurity of said
bridge for travel by the public. Signs are
now visible of decay and rot in the sidewalks
and railing, an undue pressure and oscilla-
ton of the wooden spans when crossed over
by loaded teams, all of which raises the pre-
sumption that the timbers beneath the car
riage way are decaying and require repair
ing, bolts frightened, and wedging up, etc.
critical exanination of the bridge should
he made at once by competent authority,
the necessary repairs made and the public
mind relieved. Gan ounce of prevention is
better than pound of cure
very serious responsibility rests with
those whose duty it is to attend to this mat
ter, and the sooner the city council provide
for a thorough exaue;-~t1on, and make the
necaesely repairs of the bridge, the better it
viii be for the credit of the city and at the
same time prevent law suits and probably
the payment of heavy damages arising out
of and caused by the negligence of the city
in the premises. SIXTH WARD.

SENATOR THURMAN made telling point in
his speech, yesterday, when he called atten-
ton to the fact that the Democrats have as
mnch interest in order, peace and the pros
nerity of the country, and perpetuity of the
verument, as any mon belonging to the
publican party or any other party. TIE
uaent assumption of loyalty on the
Of the Republicans has gone
ut far enough. Because
Il is Democrat does ha r1'"I Wv
s-eslloJner civil war; ruin his
own property, bring the sword to his own
throat and spread desolation through the
land? On the other hand the Republicans,
who know that with a change of admins
tration their crimes would find them
out, are ready for another civil
strife to escape detection and punishment.
The mass of the Republican party should
not, perhaps, be thus accused, but the con-
trolling Republicans prefer another civil
conflict rather than take the risk of the de-
velopment of their rascatities. Hence their
false accusations against the Democrats and
their attempt to precipitate conflict.

PAPER FOR LIREL. as

CAN POOK ACTOR SUE Il NEWS
PAPEK FOR LIBEL:
A novel libel suit has been heard in a
Pittsburgh court. Itwas brought by young
man who bears the euphoaiajas name Of
Marion Ogden, who took the part of one of
the able seamen in Capt. Corcoran's crew on
board "Her Majesty's Ship Pinafore.'' Be-
fore essaying the base role of bass singer
in the queens navee" Ogden was reporter
on one of the Pittsburgh papers, and it was
natural that his brethren of the Faber sI,ould
have an interest in his success, and flock to
hear him in his new role. One of them gave
full description of his appearance, declar-
ing that "his hair was lighter than of golden
hue; his complexion was that of the tender
shades of the ripened peach;' and. further,
that susceptible to- a fault, he admired a
naive and frisky damsel who person
ated one of the cousins of Sir Joseph. This
damsel was no other than Hebe, to whom the
young man was engaged to be married, and
had taken the pains to inform all his COM
panions of the fact, besides making it con-
spicuous upon the stage. 10 these few
glowing remarks Marion took exceptions,
and stralghtway brought suit for libel
against the paper that published them, de-
manding exemplary damages for the temer-
ity of a public Journal in making little game
of SO good an actor and so good singer as
he. The usual result has followed. Inspired
by the righteousness of the situation all the
newspapers in the city have been pokirg fun
at him without stint, and he has been mer-
cilessly nagged on every hand. The trial
was funny one, the lawyers seeming to
take in the situation and to enjoy FOSTERING
the fellow keenly. Even his own attorney
could not refrain from joke or two at his
expense, and merely contented himself with
the claim that any publication calculated to
bring his client into ridicule and contempt
was a libel and ought to be punished. The
court, however, took different view. and
held that the remarks were in the nature of
criticism, and it was within the. province
of newspaper to crticise all such. 1t was,
in fact, duty the newspapers owed to the
public, else there would be no security
against being overrun with horde of bad
actors and worse singers such as the COM
plainant appeared by the testimony to be.
He therefore dismissed the complaint, told
Marion to 60 and marry Hebe if she was
willing, and go to raising few cousins and
sisters and aunts on their own account, but
in no emergency to again venture on the
stage, or words to that effect.

SENATOR HERMAN, of New York, made some
excellent points against the supervisors of
elections bill in the course Of a speech in
the Senate on Wednesday, and in closing
argued that the law was dangerous whatever
party might be in power, and contending it
would be great wrong to subject American
citizens to the arbitrary expressions to which
it subjected them. This is good Democratic
doctrine. The law is dangerous one in the
hands of any party, and the sincerity of the
Democrats in desiring it repealed at this
time is evident when the fact is taken into
consideration that they will be in absolute
power within two years. Then they mig
use the law as the Republicans have-to de-
feat the will of the people at the ballot box
Such is not their desire, however. They
want purity of elections under Democratic
m we'll rs under Republican rule.

silver, there ought to be means by which
business men, who need it, can obtain it

ard, will prevent speculation in money, and
abolish the business Of those who delight to
profit by the endorsements of others. n, 4
The bill IN question is not intended az q
measure Of imitation. The law of supply and
demand will regulate the amount of silver
coinage just as the same law of trade regu-
lates the production of other commodities,
When the country has enough coin for the
transaction Of its business, coinage will
cease. 1t is simply designed to enable all
wants of legitimate nature to be supplied,
not to food the country with currency

that any given quantity of currency cannot
be made to answer under all conditions of

4l,,otJ.er Account of tie Meteor.


A telegram of the 10th from Worthington,
mentioned the fact of large and brilliant
meteor passing over that place from the
northwest. The meteor was of an un-
usually brilliant appearance, and attracted
tho attention of citizens for miles around.
From Auditor Whitcomb, just returned
from that section, we learn that the meteor
came to the earth just across the line,
about fourteen miles southwest of Jack
son, in Emmett county, Iowa,
a short distance from a
school house, and on the farm of a man
named Barber. Such was the velocity with
which the meteor was driven through the air,
and its weight, that it was embedded in the
earth, blue clay soil, to the depth Of fifteen
feet, the depression of the ground at the top
being fully ten feet across. AS soon as the
location of the fallen meteor became known
citizens turned in and dug it up, the sub
stance proving to be nearly oval in shape,
and about twice the size of an ordinary silk
hat, and weighing nearly 500 pounds. Au-
ditor Whitcomb got small piece as keep
