of long disease, having been confined

MINT STATISTICS.

According to the report of the Director
of the Mint, the deposits of gold dur
ing the fiscal year 1884, were SAG, $780,
$40 of which over $29, 100000 was OF
domestic production. The silver pur-
chased for coinage and deposited Tor
bars amounted at coinage value to $780,
500, 29O. Of this amount over $3l, OOO,-
600 was of domestic production. The
total value of gold and silver deposited
and purchased, was $67,955. l55. The
coinage amounted to $57, $50, 92l. OF
which $27, 932, S24, was gold, $2S,77S,-
$3.50 silver dollars and $l,l74, 100 SUBJ
sidiary coinage. The coinage of gold
was about IS, 600, 600 less than in 1888.
Besides the amount coined, gold bars
of the value of $23, s75, $50, and silver
bars of the value of 1859, 724, were
prepared at the MINIS and assay offices.
The number of silver dollars, distributed
during the year, was over 1900, 600,
and the total number of standard dol
lars estimated to be in active circula-
ton at the present time is SAC, 0OO, 600,
an increase of $1,000, 900 during the
year.
It is shown by this report that the
Government not only takes an average
of fifteen per cent. from the product OF
the silver mines, and deposits it in the
Treasury, but actually imported,
during the year, silver bull
ion to the amount Of over S5,OOO.OOO
from foreign countries to coin into stand
ard dollars. This is the kind of pro-
lection our laws afford to the miners OF
the silver producing states and Terri
tories, yet our stump orators dwell
with emphasis on the protection which
legislation gives workingmen.
Another circumstance relating to sill
yer, which the report makes apparent,
is, that II the number OF standard uol-
lars in circulation were distributed
among the people, only 100000 of
our population would have one dollar
each, while the remaining 1000. 600
would have none. This is one of the
results of the hostility of the Admins
tration to the silver interest. Govern
ment officials endeavor to create pref
udice against standard dollars by pub
fishing statements declaring the Treas
ury vaults filled with them, and asking
Congress for appropriations to increase
the storage room for them, while there
are not enough of the coins in circula-
tion to give over three-fourths OF the
people single dollar each.

The Law of Residence.

The Philadelphia Press undertakes to
justify its construction Of the election
law, by framing different state, of
facts than that upon which the INTEL
LIGENCER has criticised its decision. In
supports of its position it cites the
eminent authority of Mr.. Buckalew,--
who has written that "if, in point Of
fact, an employe of the government
shall have had district residence in the
state, and shall intend TO retain il and
return TO IL, such prior residence will in
most cases, continue to be his, notwith
standing his absence, and, if he shall
possess the other nece ssary qualifications
of an elector Of the state, he may vote
thereat. lie may lose his electoral resi-
dence bg actual abandonment Of Il, but lie
willno forfeit it by his mere absence in
the public service" All of this isstrictly
true and in exact accordance with the
position taken by this Journal. The
points italicised mark the distinction
between the case stated by the Press
and that in which the INTELLIGENCER
and Mr.. Buckalew agree that the voter
has not forfeited his franchise. In the
case in which the Press passed
wrong judgment the voter did
not retain his residence nor propose
to return to it; it was actually
obliterated as the Press stated it in
Mr.. Buckalew's language there was an
"aetual abandonment of it ; in such
case we stick to 1t that he loses his vote.

Mr., Hendricks Character.

Mr.. Hendricks record is longer than
Cleveland's and more consistent In fact,
its consistency is tho most aggravstipg
feature of il. for from first to last be bas
opposed the great principles upon which
national honor and prosperity have been
built up.
So said the New York Tribune yester
day. The most complete and crushing
answer to this is furnished by the Tri
buno itself. In 1872, when it Was as now
edited by Whitelaw Reid, In an Impair
tial review of Mr.. Hendricks character
and career, the Tribune, with a degree
of truth that has seldom since charac
terized it, said, that Hendricks was "ar
honest jurist, an able and incorruptibl'
stat. sman, and a wise politician.
His record as senator, representative
commissioner, and state legislator, Il
pure and untarnished, and whatever h,
isable TO do for justice and public morals
when chosen governor of Indiana, We
may be sure he will do. He is willing
to leave all past differences as inmate
rial to the intelligent consideration of
the work before When public
morality is to be revived, good men of
all parties must combine. Pursuing this
noble principle, then, Mr.. Hendricks
refuses to be distracted by the petty
cries of men eager to ALLEVIATE natural
friends by recalling old time differences
What we have now to DO Is To put
an end to unjust legislation and reform
the abuses which burden the whole gov
ernment. We will not be deferred from
this labor by those who strive to arouse
evil passions that party supremacy may
be maintained" All of this was very
true, and is still the truth. The 7rijuH,
has changed but its tribute related to
q career that had passed into history
and its judgment will stand rs Just
characterization of good man. Its Owr
reversal discredits the Tribune, but Can
not hurt Mr.. Hendricks.

MONDAY EvHNINa, AUG. 10, 1884.
&5O,OOO Damages.

Some Of our esteemed Republican con.
tcmporaries are a little premature in
announcing that Mr.. Blaine has given
orders to institute criminal proceedings
against the indianapolis paper which
he alleges has libelled him, and to push
these proceedings with all possible dis
patch. This is just what Mr.. Blaine
has not done. A man more anxious to
punish q great wrong done to himself
and to society and to vindicate the honor
Of his family, would have been swift to
hunt the rascals down !" and he would
have taken quick advantage OF the
stringent libel laws Of Indiana, to bring
his assailants before the bar OF criminal
Justice, where they would have had to
answer at once for the private and the
public injury; aud to the punishment
OF the guilty all the people would have
said " amen"
Mr.. Blaine has taken quite different
course. He resorts to civil suit and
prosecutes claim for money, to recover
$4,000 damages, at which sum he
measures the injury to himself and his
family. He wants tribunal Of whic h
his friends control the machinery and in
which marshal, perhaps of his own ap
pointment, will have much to do with
the selection Of jurors. A more sensi
tive man than he, and less anxious tc
turn the occasion into one Of dramatic
display, would have taken different
course.
And, by the way, why does the Re-
publican candidate stop at Indianapolis
We see that the Portland Argus, printed
in his own state, publishes a far more
atrocious libel-more damaging because
not so coarse and brutal-than that OF
the Indianapolis paper. Fifteen hun
dred miles nearer his own home, nearer
in time to the next election, aud more
weighty in its reflection upon himself
and his family relatiorH Ais is the libe
that should first have his attention. W,
hope when it meets his eye he will try tC
vindicate the honor of his family 10y
some swifter and less mercenary proceed
ing than to sue for money.
