One of the most brutal murders ever committed
in Detroit was perpetrated at an early hour this

was awakened about 5 O'Clock this morning by
sounds in the room occupied by her father and
Davis. She heard a dun thud as of a blow struck,

Conner to Dorsey, who proposed the crime
of importing votes from Illinois to carry the
State for Porter and Garfield. 1t was a
Penitentiary offense-worse in its purpose
than the charge made by Bradley against
Sessions-as vile as anything that has ever
transpired in the history OF American
politics, and yet, sir you remain silent. If
rumoris correct, you are satisfied hat s.. p.
Conner will hereafter remain silent, and
with this assurance you seem willing that
his charges of crimes committed by Dorsey
shall rest where he places them. Republic
ans are asking (as the Sentinel is advised):
Has Hon. John C.. New no response to
make to Corners charges? Does he
propose that the Republican party shall
rest under the burden of disgrace which
Conners statement imposes Upon it? Are
honest Republicans to be forever confronted
with the charge that Indiana was carried for
Porter and Garfield by crimes and frauds
planned and perfected in the rooms Of the
Republican Central Committee? 1t is worth
while for you, Mr.. New, to rise and ex-
plain. Your exceedingly delicate position
indicates the propriety of such a course, and
your further silence will be construed as
confessing judgment.

GOLD AND SILVER AS TOOLS.

WHAT has happened to silver. as we have here
tofore explained. is merely that in the progress OF
mankind toward a higher civilization people have
found il a less convenient tool than formerly for
purposes of trade, and have dropped II, pushed IL
to one side, just as wheelbarrows and pack-sad-
dies are pushed aside in favor of wagons, and
wagons in favor of steam cars. IL is just as APP
p~ropriate 20 say that men who prefer wagons are
making war on wheelbarrows, or that those who
use lucifer matches are making war on fiints, as
to say that those who prefer gold money are max
ing war on silver. Making war Is not IN their
thoughts. Nothing is in their thoughts except
the convenience of the tool; and when they
choose the one instead of the other, they are
hardly conscious that they have made a choice
uatil reminded by some philosopher or anlqnary
that wheelbarrOws and tinder-bOxes and silver
dollars were of ineStimable service 10 their an
c~estOrs.-New York Evening Post.
Some years since a few interested gentle
men concluded that silver, as a tool, was
no longer useful in the United States, and
that the time had come to throw it aside.
They succeeded. The proceeding was sur
reptitious and created very general opposi-
ton. The people had not been consulted,
and when the time arrived for them 10 be
heard they promptly reinstated silver as a
''tool," and indicated a determination to re-
tain it in all the workshops of commerce,
trade and industries. THE progress of
mankind toward a higher civilization is
about as manifest in the United States as it
is in England and Germany, or elsewhere
where the opposition to silver is the most
D -onOunced. Just here il is well enough to
state, as the facts go far toward answering
the pack saddle and "wheelbarrOw" argu-
ment, that there are sixteen countries, with
a population of 275,5 37 ITO, who use silver
as a full legal tender tool, and rate it quite as
convenient as gold, while there are
but nine countries with a population of 3d.
527, PIG which discard silver as a full legal
tender. The Post and journals of its ilk, in
their efforts to lower the value of silver as a
'%'tool," strike at gold as well. AS a tool
paper, to a very great extent, has super
seeded both. 1t may be said, therefore, that
mankind, in it's progress. toward a higher
civilization" has come to the conclusion
that paper is a better tool than either gold or
silver, and the figures in support of the prop
osition are quite satisfactory. That our
readers may have the figures upon the sub
iect, we give the estimated amount of gold
and silver and paper money in circulation

HON. JNo. c. NEw-oHA1RMAN

HON. JNO. c.. NEW-CHAIRMAN.
DEAR SrR-The Sentinel has no wish to
dwarf or magnify your position as a leader
in'the Republican party. You are a mem
Der of the National Republican Committee,
and therefor in intimate political relations
with ex-senator Dorsey, who is Secretary of
that Committee. You are also Chairman of
the Republican Committee of Indiana.
Such dignifed positions bring you into con-
~spicuousness. You are a boss,
and you can not successfully dodge
the responsibilities which attach to
the position. You must be aware that the
party with which you are so prominently
Identified is at the present juncture over
whelmed with disgrace, as the result OF the
infamous transactions of its bosses. 1t would
be impossible to exaggerate the ignominy
that attaches to distinguished Republican
managers and officials-ex-Presiden Grant,
e~x-Senators Conkling and Plat, ex-senator
Dorsey. ex-senator Sherman, President Gar
field. Secretary of State Blaine, ex-Second
Assistant Postmaster General Brady, Stae
Senators Bradley and Sessions, and &
host of others, whose names are
familiar TO the public, every one OF whom is
charged by Republican journals with crimes
or indecencies well calculated to make hon.
est Republicans blush in deep modification.
Investigations show that the Treasury De-
partment has been scarcely better than a
den of thieves, and that the Postoffice De-
partment is rotten TO the core. Unfortunat-
ely for YOU, Mr.. New, developments of a
most unsavory character require that you
should make some explanation. Your ST
lence, so far, has deepened the impression
that any word from you will only make
things worse; that you and your associates on
the Republican State Central Committee
must remain silent or confirm the charges
made directly against Dorsey and indirectly
against your Committee. The rank and file
of the Republican party in Indiana claim
to be honest. They have made you a boss.
They put you in charge of the Republican
Central Committee of the State. There you
are fixed as certainly and as secure as If you
were in a pillory. Your Republican friends

to the question, "What nave you accom-
plished by your work for Woman Suffrage"
said:
"weu, 1 should say we had accomplished a
great deal. Since the beginning of the Woman
Suffrage agitation, thirty years ago, we have
gained school suffrage I'm twelve States: law, the
ology and medicine-all the professions have
been thrown open to us; all the Western Colleges
and Universities admit women: there are in this
country go licensed female doctors; there are
fifty female lawyers, and wOmen are allowed TO
practice in the Supreme Court OF the United
States. although a number of the States still shut
Ms out; there are forty female ministers in
the Universalist Church alone, while
hundreds of licensed female preachers are in the
Methodist Church, doing the best kind Of revival
work. Thirty years ago women could only sew,
cook and teach. Now not a trade hardly but has
women in IT, Women are managers in the larg-
est stores and business, and manage great farms
with success. Why, the largest farm in one
County Of Illinois is owned and managed by a
woman. Your Eastern people ought to go West
and see how women are getting along with only a
few of their rights
That certainly looks like progress, and
ought to cheer those who advocate the eman-
c~ipation of women from the thraldom of
ignorance and prejudice to which they are
now subjected.

LATE advices from Washington indicate
the greatest possible perturbation in the Re
publican ranks. \ correspondent says:
The whole power that can be directed from
Washington win be exerted to save Ohio this fall.
With a capital of more than twenty-seven thou
sand majority over Democrats and Greenbackers
combined at the Presiden tial election, with pos
session Of the State Government, and with an
Ohio President prepared TO do his utmost, the Re
publican ticket is threatened with a defeat likely
70 be memorable in politics. Distrust ana the
spirit Of revolt are nearly as strong in Ohio as they
arc in New York, sharpened by sherman's zeal
ousy and malice and desire to be revenged for the
''treachery'' Of Foster and Garfield at Chicago.
The breach widens every day, and the causes of
Quarrel will not only enter every approaching
election. but into every contest for ascendancy IN
the party. They can not be kept out of the contest
for Speaker iu December. The united elements
OF opposition leave the Republicans with barely
a nominal majority, giving them every vote and
every advantage. The friends of Grant and Conk-
ing hold the balance of power. and if they should
hink proper to use it resolutely. no Speaker can
be elected not acceptable 70 them.
The Star Route contractors and their
friends are ready to adopt the Nihilistic
methods of revenge-nOt for the purpose of
injuring Blaine, Garfield & Co. corporeally,
but for the purpose of SCATTERING their Polit-
zeal legs, knocking their political wrath out
OF them, etc. A funeral director might as
well be ordered to get ready to prepare for
their obsequies.

OF this amount of specie, S2,6S5, 691, 372 is
gold, sos, 912, 3O3 is full legal tender silver,
and s415, PAS, 40 limited legal tender silver,
the aggregate silver being 81, 224, 16O, 43S. 1t
must be admitted that silver, asa convenient
tool" has not been discarded, and that in
view of the ceaseleSs war made upon it by
those f~avoring the single gold standard, it
holds its own remarkably well. The object
of the I-nternational Monetary Conference is
to settle the relative value Of gold and
silver. This accomplished, and the monetary
affairs of the world would at once be relieved
of a vexatious question, and business would
at once move forward with accelerated
progress, and since paper money, as a tool"
is more convenient than either gold or
silver, the United States has an opportunity
to materially aid in vitalizing business. A
contemporary iudiciously asks: with the
constant accumulation of coin in this
country, both from foreign importation
and the annual domestic produc-
ton, would it not be a wise
policy ON the part of Con-
gress to authorize the issue of gold
and silver bullion and coin certificates OF
deposit which would represent the bullion
and coin of both metals stored away in the
vaults of the Treasury? These being made
interchangeable at the option of the holder,
would pass current, under a compact agreed
upon at Paris during the present session OF
the Conference, in all the countries partie:
thereto. The United States being the largest
producer and depository of the preciou:
metals, would give her the preference in the
issue of these certificates of deposit. The
system once adopted, these certificates would
take the place of gold and silver. excepting
for small change. in all public and private
transactions, and being equally the none!
of foreign countries to the extent of thei
deposits of the precious metals, would no
be subject to any of the fluctuations and un
certainties of a paper currency not base'
upon a gold and silver foundation.
BY adopting the course suggested, the en-
tire amount of coin and bullion in the Urea
sury would virtually pass into circulation
and as such certificates would represent $
much silver actually in the Treasury, the,
would at once become the f~avorite tools
of commerce. The gold and silver might re
main forever in the Treasury; it would nc
be wanted as a 'tool'-paper answering
