"A HIGHER LAW THAN THE CON-
STITUTION."

This was the political dogma, preach
cd from tho pulpit and from the stump
upon which the republican party came
into power, and which has introduced
demoralrsatlon and degradation into the
political Affairs Of the country. Public
oAcers sre required to take an omcia'
oath to support the Constitution OF the
United States. But the oath was made
a farce and afalse pretense by the dog
ma that declared a higher Law than the
Constitution. Upon this political falla.
cy the Constitution and the laws were
disregarded, and the most sacred COM
pact and pledges Of tho public faith mar
ever made to bis fellow.man were set al
defiance. And ~ . natural sequence
from this doctrine 1t 10 now proclaimed
from the head of that party, that ''any-
thing Is Unsuitable in morals and IN law
that will beat down the democratic par.
ty and keep the republican party in
power" Upon this doctrine the re.
turns in the presidential election Of
1875 were changed by republican lead
ers. and q president installed into Of
fee who had been defeated at the polls.
Upon this doctrine Indiana was carried
in the last presidential election by bril-
berry with money tilched from the gov.
eminent, and New York by means no
less disreputable.

IN TIE INTEREST OF THE BANKS
SILVER Is DEPRECATED.

Mr.. Folger proposes that provision
be made for the early retirement OF
silver certificates, and that the act re-
quiring their issue be repealed
A reference to the annual report of
the Hon. Nj. Burchard, director Of
the United Statet Mint, throws a
flood Of light upon this latest attempt
to dishonor and debase the silver
coinage of the country for the benefit
of the national banks. According to
that report, the total coinage of the
standard silver dollars since the pas
sage of the act requiring their COIN
age has been $1OO,672, 7O5. OF this
total $S4, O96 1927 fare N actual circu-
lation." leaving $66, SIC. SIS in tbs
treasury of the United States for the
redemption Of sirty.siz millions sac
hundred and strty-three thousand
eight hundred and thirty dollars 1rorth
of silver certificates at this moment in
circulation as money, and furnishing
. component portion Of the best and
absolutely safest circulating medium
III the world.
More than this, if these figures be
correct, aud We have no reason to
doubt their accuracy, there are, at
this hour, silver dollars in active CIR
culation as silver coin and it's repre-
!. sentative, silver certificates, to the
amount of $87,452 in excess of the en-
tire coinage of the mint since the pas
sage of the act rehabilitsting silver.
The charge, then, that the silver
dollars do not circulate, that they are
idly numbering the vaults Of the
treasury department., is shown to be
absolutely and unqualifiedly false,
and the proposition to retire the sill
yer certificates because, as President
Arthur phrases it, "they form all un-
necessary addition to the paper cur.
rency of the country" is q specimen
of financial q%uackery and balderdash
unworthy OF any high official, wheth-
er he be secretary of the treasury or
president of the United States.

Burdette,s Recollections OF Hin,
and other War Incidents

Robert j. Burdetts. OF the Burlington
Hawksys. who favored q choice selec-
ton Of Sedalians with . line lecture 70.
Gently, had previously visited Warrens.
burg. His letter TO the Hawkeys res
pecsing the "reminiscences called to
mind by that visit, is full OF interest.
Mr.. Burdette thus writes.
I was here many years ago, ''endu.
ring the war" We marched through
Warrensburg one bright sunny day, bat
1t did't look like this. We we're seek
ing tor a man named Price, and he with
a retiring modesty which Is the birth
right. of noble men, shrank from our
gaze. An agile and tender hearted old
confed he was. Hard to catch. when he
wanted to get away, and always SOL
dlerly and gentle in his treatment of
prisoners-that was one Of the brightest
traits in the character of Gen. Price,
':Oid Pap Price," his " men aud the
Union troops alike were fond OF calling
him. / remember in some of our deal
ings with him in this Missouri campaign,
In some of our intsrchanges of shells and
and courtesies, General Price became
possessed, OF q number of Union prison
ners. Being at that time buslly engag-
ed in getting away. the old man did not
ARE to be troubled with prisoners. 50 hs
paroled the whole crowd. But he knew
that these unarmed men would, In all
probability, be murdered, and at any
rate plundered and ill-treated by the
guerrillas aud bush-whackers who
swarmed all through these parts of
Missouri at that time l tell you, breth-
o there were some bad citizens in
jackson county In those days. so Price
rent a guard of cavalry with the paroled
men, with q flag Of truce, aud these reg
ular Confederate troopers escorted their
prisoners to our lines, turned them over
and got receipts in due form, and>then
galloped away to rejoin their columns
and get ready to shoot at US, whose
friends they had guarded 90 carefully
and generously. The act was very
characteristic OF Gen. Price.
I drove over to old Warrensburg with
my friend, MI. Cockrell. o Of General
Cockrell, senator from Missouri. l had
met General Cockrell before. That is
We went from jackson, Mississippi, to
Vicksburg together. Not quite together
either for the General got there first,
went IN and shut the door in my face,
aud it was more than Q month before
Grant and l, I mean me and Grant,
could get in. AID then we had to
climb over the fence and there wasn't
a bone or = crust in the pantry. The
generals son treated me better than his
father. because the first night l was IN
town, with Characteristic southern hos
pitslitY, he threw wide open the doors
Of his home, u homo made doubly charm
ing and hospitable by tho accomplished
lady whose graces crown and adorn it
and I MAS his Welcome quest.
