IT WANTS LIGHT.

The Petaluma Courier (Democrstic) de-
mands the evidence of the truth of the
charges made in the present railroad cru
SADIE by the Democratic bosses, and on
which they base the demand for an extra
session of the Legislature. That is the
very last thing in the world they will at
tempt to bring forward, for an obvious
reason. The Cogrier asks why the mer-
chants OF San Francisco keep silent " Are
they all towards? What we want is light.
The interest of the whole people is our in
terest." Contrasting to entertaining preju.
dice against the railroad, the Courier ad-
mits that it is in need of sound reason for
action. If all anti-railroad journals
were as frank as the one quoted, the whole
truth of the fares and freight question
would soon be made known and the CON-
plexity Of the problem before the Commits.
sion be made manifest. The railroad cor.
porations have several times, in writing,
challenged proof of the windy newspaper
charges made against them. But the only
reply is to rail at Carpenter and Hum
phries for not making material " reduc.
tions. The railroad people, so far from
defending the acts of the two named, have
very decidedly expressed themselves in
protest against the reductions. This should
be considered pretty fair evidence that
they are material reductions. But we
again insist that the Commissioners are not
in office to do the bidding of the Demo.
cratic bosses, nor to regulate rates accord
ing to political platforms. They are given
authority of most unusual and sweeping
character, and should exercise it with cool
Judgment, based on demonstrable facts,
and measured by justice to both carrier
and shipper. But this is precisely what
the Democratic whippers-in are resolved
they shall not do. Justice is the very last
thing they desire the Commissioners to
mete out.

TIE TRADE DOLLAR SCHEME

1t has now fully developed that the pur.
pose of the raid on the trade dollar is in
the interest of spectators who have bought
it up at less than bullion value and now
hope to bring about the passage of an Act by
the next Congress requiring the Treasury to
redeem the coin at par Under the erroneous
supposition that there is large amount of
the coin held by the laboring classes, the
Republican Convention of Pennsylvania
has been induced to favor the redemption
scheme by a resolution in its platform.
This is unfortunate for the Convention, for
before Congress meets the details of the
scheme of the speculstors will be laid bare
and the platform makers will be abashed.
The New York Post hits the nail on the
head when it declares that the coin be-
came nuisance long ago. To put it now
on basis of equality with the standard
dollar is to still further educate the
shoughtless in the faith of the fat cspac-
ity of the Government.
For moment let us look at the facts.
The coin was issued to accommodate, as
the equivalent of bullion, the trade with
China 1t was, to the extent of S., made
legal tender. Nearly eight years ago
that legal teeler value was deliberately
withdrawn. In 1875 the law provided for
the coinage of the standard dollar of 412k
grains, and it was made legal tender,
together with all silver dollars hereto
fore coined by the United States of like
weight and ineness." The trade dollar is
400 grains. 1t is, in fact, the heavier, and
intrinsically the more valuable coin. Now,
say the friends of the repudiated dollar,
the true meaning Of the Act of 1878 is that
the trade dollar shall be coined and legal
tender, for the greater includes the
less, and a 420, grain coin must come
within the purview OF the Act that
provides for 4l23 grain coin. But, as
has been again and again pointed out, the
lawful character OF the standard dollar
does not depend on it's amount Of silver,
but on the legal tender capacity given it
by law. And thereby is shown, beyond
dispute, the absurdity of the doctrine
upon which such law is based. It is

leading US, says the contemporary quoted.
to time when silver will drive gold out
of our monetary system as measure of
value, What Congress ought to do, it
concludes, as the RECORD UNION long ago
urged, is "to stop making IS cent dollars I"
and cease declaring that, by the hocus
pocus of legislation, they are really 100
cent dollars. The Government might buy
in the trade dollar at bullion value, the
same as any other silver for use, but to re-
store the legal tender value is but to sink
deeper in the mire into which we are grad.
ually settling, and from which fiat l"
financiers are striving to lift the country
by its boot straps, while they are standing
on its shoulders.

LACK OF SYMPATHY.

In welcoming recent deliberative body
to Detroit, Hon. VIM. P. Wells, the Mayor
of that city, made an address that has at
tracted much attention for its many truths
and the forcible manner of their presenta.
ton. Among other things Mr.. Wells
said "a great city exists only by the
blood it draws through the great arteries
of trade from the surrounding country.
1t does not require that one should be a
political economist to understand that
proposition" But it is exactly that
proposition which many people of the
metropolis of California do not IN
derstand, and stubbornly refuses to
consider. He has been very super
fetal observer, indeed, who has not
noted that instead OF acting upon that
principle, preponderating element in
our chief city has been diametri-
cally opposed to it for twenty years or
more. It's apparent effort has been to
build the city up at the expense OF the
State, upon which her prosperity is de-
pendent, instead of developing the inte-
rior, that she may grow greater as e
consequence. 1t has done all it could
to choke "the great arteries of trade, "
to legislate with a view to local i'm.
portance and advantage only; to prevent
interior trade from occupying an indie
pendent position to subject the country
to the burden of maintaining the common
school system, regardless of population or
ability to beiittle and humiliate the towns
and cities of the country. And this has
continued from the day her press laughed
the idea of Pacific railroad to scorn to
the day when her baser elements drove
affrighted capital from her doors, and down
to the present, when portion OF her press
is persistent In it's misrepresentation Of
interior localities, and can find nothing in
them to admire or commend, but all to
contemn and spurn. OF course the indict-
ment can be heightened by specific aliega,
tions, but it is not needed, nor is it made
in any spirit of ill-feeling, but rather of
regret that so little sympathy exists be-
tween San Francisco and interior local.
ities-a fact which is early impressed upon
every visitor, end which strikes the
thoughtful with singular force, since in no
other State is there such jealous DISPOSE
ton on the part of chief city made man
ifest toward the State in which her inter
ests so largely reside.

A STRIKING COMPARISON.

The Democratic press never tires Of
abusing the Scott liquor law, and the Re-
publicans of Ohio for indorsipg it. Now
no one will claim Missouri as Republican
State. II it is not Democratic it will be
difficult to classify it politically. Neither
is Missouri temperance colony. No one
will be SO rash as to contend that it has
been noted for enmity to liquor thinking
or selling. 1t has a Democratic Legisla-
ture by &c a large majority" and it's office
holders, political long-toms and prophets
are bluegrass Democrats. Let us see,
therefore, Whist that State has been cspa-
BILE of, compared to Ohio. Under the Scott
law, in Ohio, liquor selling is taxed 5000
per year for sales OF spiritueus beverages,
and 500 for sales of vinous aud malt
liquors. But out in Missouri the Demo-
cratic Legislature passed an Act, which
became q law and is now in force, that,
compared to Ohio's Scott law, makes the
latter sink into insignifcance. In Mis-
souri, the dealer must first apply to the
County Court for permit; he must have
the written Endorsement of majority of
the taxpayers in his neighborhood he
must give bond of $1,000, and each six
months he must pay for State purposes a
tax of not less than s25 nor more than
$500, and for county purposes not less
than 5000 nor more than $500. 1t is also
in Democratic Missouri an offense to give
away or sell liquor in any quantity on Sun
day, and the penalty is fine of from $50
to 5000, and deprivation Of the privilege of
iquor.selling for two years. What do the
anti-sumptuary law Democrats think now
of their Missouri brethren!

WHAT is the matter with Mr.. Henri Wstterson1
he is not what he was. Ever since Mr.. Mayor Car
ter Harrison plunged in and smashed the crockery
at that JeHersonan banquet where the then editor
OF the New York World bowed his head and wept
beneath the table CLOTH and Mr.. Bayard smiled out
warily, while he mentally cursed the day his Honor
the Mayor was born, Mr. W. and his Free-Trade-
in.the-Piatform doctrine have been in mourning.
Finally the knotty headed and accomplished jour
nalistic politician went north and lectured on the
shotgun as a factor in civilization, and while there
striving to forget the Of his lato reversal by
order of the party" he discovered one who had
found the fountain of YOUTH and slipped at its eter
nal spring. until returned vigor reclothed him with
such agility that he the kentuckian completely

firmly convinced that nothing under the sun can
induce Governor Tildeu to be candidate for the
Presidency again These little recreations quite
withdrew the subject OF this sketch from his free
trade or-run duties That his retiracy has become
permanent is now evident from the fact that he has
found new theme, beside which blue grass Democ
racy Is az shadow Of the immaterial. He has
turned his attention to Mary Anderson as artist

aower that breathes in fragrance for day upon
the earth of which it Is not; like grand strain Of
music that floats and throbs at twilight, and sinks
away into the dim reaches Of which we dream, but
in which we cannot walk" etc, ETC., etc. And this
leads that unregenerate Norristowu Herald TO con-
tinue the lofty strain and compare it to the young
man in lavender pants at picnic, who sits on
eustard pie and then fades away into solitude for
brief period. This sacriegious travesty upon the
veteran editors effort to get away from himself and
the memories Of faded political hopes, is nothing
less than infamous, and should be frowned down by
every poor soul who has chung to the doctrine of
national platform tariff plank only to find his faith
shattered at the moment of its supposed triumph.

So they are going to punish army Off
GERS hereafter whenever they wander so
far from the paths of rectitude as to
duplicate their pay accounts. That IS
such a momehtOus reform, so radical a
departure from old methods that it has
taken much painful deliberation before it
could be resolved to carry it out. Some
how we cannot appreciate the course OF
the war department in this matter This
thing of duplicating pay accounts is
simply stealing, obtaining money on false
pretenses, and the war department should
at least have tried to punish every officer
caught at the scoundrelly work. 1t may
be that the necessary evidence to secure
conviction might have been wanting but
no uncertainty as to that and no respect
for the high standing of the offender
should have deferred the department
from endeayOring to secure the punish
ment which the crime merits The Officer
who duplicates his pay accounts is in NJ
respect less of rascal than Paymastel

BUCK STOUT,
An Indiana Murderer 'sSWung OF"
at Rockville, Ind. ---The Story of
His Crime..-Other Candi-
dates

INDTANAPoLGs. Ind, Aug. S.-A Rockville,
Ind, special says. Buck" Stout was hanged
here within high enclosure III the Jail yard.
The McCune cadets did military duty. Only
about one hundred persons were admitted to
the execution, but the streets were crowded
with people. The condemned exhibited
spirit Of bravado, but was more contrite
later ou. The gallows was formed of trap
and lever The drop was over six feet
The crime for which Stout was hanged is
about as follows:
Stout and Dunbar left Darlington together
in Bunbars huckster wagon on the morning
of the oath of November, 1882, Dunbar in
tending to make tour through the country
for produce, according to his custom Stout
had been seen on the streets that morning
dressed unusually well, and was heard To re-
mark that he did not intend to work any
more but said he was going to Indianapolis
When about five miles southeast of Darling
ton, Stout and Dunbar left the horses and
wagon at the roadside and entered the woods
to shoot quail, taking Dunbars gun. During
the afternoon two shots were heard at a
neighborirg farm house, and shortly after
Stout was seen crossing a field in
the direction of New Ross, where, according
TO his statement, he took the train for Indian
apois. Attention was attracted to the body
Of Dunbar by the bowling of his dog, which
| stayed near. The murdered man had been
shot twice and his skull crushed by club
which lay near by covered with blood. Stout
was lrrested in indianapolis at the Zoo thea
ter. He exhibited no surprise on being ar
rested, at first denying any knowledge Of tbs
| murder, but. afterwards confessing every
thing He says it was not his intention tc
kill Dunbar but that he Stout killed quail
which Dunbar took and refused
! to give up A quarrel ensued which
ended in fight During the fight
! Dunbar spoke TO Stout, saying: Lets get
up and stop this foolishness They then got
up, but soon began to fight again Stout
| struck Dunbar with the club and afterwanl
shot him twice He says he did not intend to
rob him, but finding that he had killed him
he took his watch and money, thinking he
would need it to assist him in getting away.
| This story was not accepted 1t the trial, it
| being proved a cold-bIooded and premedi.
| tated murder.
| Stout up to the day of the hanging, was
seemingly Indifferent to the terrible fate
awaiting him, and spoke in the most uncou
cerned manner, often testing and laughing
upon the subject,
