Texas papers explored the Genet and told

The Shreveport Standard, in alludlng 10
the senatorial timber just chosen in New
York, says:

giving der little time to discover tho mag

The Mobile Register sees good in every'
thing sermons in stones and hymns OF

The Arkansas Gazette very forcibly puts
the case as TO accusations and denisls, and it
strikes great many newspapers in Texas
between wind and water with solid shot.
II says:
Tue law does not require an accused per.
son 10 establish his Innocence. IL very
properly holds him gultless until con
victed, and puts the burden OF proof on hls
accusers. Otherwise every individuals per-
sonsl character would be ut the mercy OF the
ignorant, preiudiced ana malicious elements
of a community, who could invent and cir

1t is a little singular "what fools these
mortals be-" and remarkably strange how
dull of comprehension the American people
are when they cannot 500 that piece OF
paper called money 10 just as good
as chunk Of gold. There is moth"
ing in name. Bose answers

surely be as happy with tho euphonious mp

Marcus Julius Cicero rs with plain Jim
or Bill and SO II must be in the matter of
money. An oblong piece of paper bearing
the stamp Of the government and the SIM
pie words "This Is ten dollars" Of course
would be just Ms valuable, jus. as eagerly
sought after, just as soul gladdenihg rs $40
gold piece. At any rate the American Son

Sentry IL ought to knew. The Sentry
says:
The slow progress made by the public
mind In acquiring n realization OF widely
demonstrated truths, is rOnspicuously shown
by the doubts that hang like Egyptian dark

power of our nations flat, stamped upon

mere sOphstry, right on the heels Of its cons

general observation and business expert,

had no share In our earlier greenback cur
Yency experience, very fairly accounts for the
lack vf u clear comprehension OF tho truth OF
the csse In that part of our country. At the
north and west, however, II seems impossible
70 explain tho mystery, since almost every
man and woman living IN tho country at tho
time OF the issue and use Of the first sixty
millions of our greenbsck currency, owned

time that elapsed from tho issue Of the frat
ton mil.ions OF tast sixty millions Of full
legal tender greenback currency until the
further issue Of II was stepped, and that
already issued was scooped up and got out
of the way by the money changers. II stood

lowing notice Of tho late Justice Clifford Of
