The Silver Coinage.

New YORK, August 4.--The Times says:
According to the United States Treasury
statement for July, the increase In gold GER
tifcates outstanding is $40, 900, 900. This fact
is regarded by bankers with some anxiety, for
when the issue Of gold certificates gets to
that point where 1t cannot be increase d, sill
yer certificates or silver coin must surely
come to the front as a means Of settling the
clearing house balances. A Treasury officer
said yesterday at was only q question of
time that the sub-treasury would have to pay
its clearing house balances In silver" "Peo-
pie do not want silver" said the gentleman.
"Banks dislike to handle it, and individuals
won't touch the standard silver dollar If they
can possibly avoid it," Congress, however,
by its neglect to provide for the suspension
of silver coinage, virtually said to the people
of the country, "You must take silver" and
for while at least there seems to be no es-
cape. Soon there will be no more gold GER
tificates printed, and when those outstanding
are absorbed the business community will
have to come down to silver with the best
grace 10 can.

BRINGING THE MATTER HOME.

The Salt Lake Tribune, an Independent
paper, having been censured by some of its
Democratic patrons as leaning too strongly
toward Blaine, cites the relative attitude of
the two parties on questions affecting Utah,
and incidentally mentions this of application
in Montana:
"If Mr.. Cleveland can be elected, 1t is
quite probable that with him will be elected
Legislatures, which will, in turn, elect Dem
ocratic United States Senators enough to
throw all branches of the Government into
Democratic hands. OF the votes which will
elect Mr.. Cleveland, If he shall be elected,
two-thirds will come from tn old slave
States. There is not Democrat who does
not know that in that case, the Southern
wing of the party will have control as much
as the Northern wing of the Republican
party now controls the Senate. Disguise 1t
as we please, that means free trade so far at
least as raw products are concerned. 1t
means the taking of Of all tariffs from lead
and copper ores, and reduction in the value
OF a ton Of lead or copper of 500 per ton.
That would mean the closing down Of every
prominent mine, except one, and all the
smelling and refining works in Utah, Of
nearly every mine in Idaho, and large pro
portion of the mines of Montana and Colo
RADIO. Can any Democrat dispute this, or
show anything in the record Of his party to
make 1t look inprobable?"

ton. How would repeal Of TIL tariff on
copper suit Montana, and what effect would
It have?

LYNCH LAW IN THE EAST.
Horrible Tortures Inflicted on Victims.

NEW YORK, August Last night in
Spencer, Ind, gang of twenty masked men
went to the residence of Mrs. SallIe Upton,
widow, and taking her from her bed, tied
her to tree, and gave her most cruel beat
ing with hickory switches. The wretched
woman tainted twice during her torture, the
miscreants rescuscitating her by throwing
water upon her. The woman's shrieks for
mercy were heard quarter of mile away.
After this terrible torture the men unloosed
her from the tree, and departed, warning
her that unless she left the neighborhood
within twenty days they would again visit
her with still severer punishment. The poor
woman was suspected of being unchaste, and
these highly moral citizens took this method
Of preserving the virtue Of the nelghborhood.
NEW YoRK, August IA special from

Solution of a Mystery.

MARsEILLEs, July 3l.-The singular ha-
tired which the people of Marseiles and
vicinity have borne to the doctors has been
one Of the most singular phases of the cpl,
demic. In some cases 1t has been so pro-
nounced that the physicians have been
utterly unable to work any progress against
the disease. A case was reported day or
two since in which q Marseilles physician
was chased from the house of patient and
nearly killed. The cause of this singular
superstition came to light to day. A paper
read by medical man In Berlin, laudng the
cholera as Sweeping of beings untitled for
the struggle Of existence, has been widely
reproduced in France, and helped the preju-
dice of the people against the doctors, and
confirms them In the belief that the Govern
ment has adopted views similar to those of
the Berlin essayist. An instance of popular
hostility toward the physicians occurred In
this city yesterday. A doctor was going into
the slums to attend a patient, when he was
confronted bv a partv of the sick mans
neighbors with knives, who chased him
away and prevented his mnistering to the
sufferer.

DOWN WITH THE LORDS.
Bright and Chamberlain Demand the Franchise
Bill

BIRMINGHAM, Aug. 4.-In connection with
the great reform demonstration yesterday q
meeting was held in Bingly Hall, two thou
sand people being present. A speech was
made by John Bright and Joseph Chamber
lain, President Of the Board of Trade. Mr..
Bright said the majority in the House of
Lords was actusted by some bitter hatred of
Liberals in 1882. Who were the peers? he
asked. They were the spawn Of the blum.
ders OF wars and the corruption Of dark ages
Of history. They had entered the temple of
honor, not through the temple of merit, but
through the sepulchres of their ancestors.
They were no better than their fathers.
Some of them were worse, for their privi-
leges had produced ignorance and arrogance.
The reform of the House of Lords, Bright
declared, was urgent and meritable. The
bill would only get rid of the present diff
Guilty. Should the people submit? or should
they curb the mobiles, as their fathers had
curbsd the Kings Of England? Bright then
explained the manner in which he would
Inv W ooo euC poWcT VI Luc LOTQ3 restricted.
He would allow the peers to retain their
present powers during the first session; that
. bill should be presented them, but be
would absolutely preclude them from voting
the franchise.
Chamberlain read long and powerful at
tack upon the Queen. The divine rights of
kings, be said, had been acknowledged to be
dangerous; the divine rights of peers was q
ridiculous fgment. If the Lords remained
obstinate In opposition to the popular will,
the present agitation would continue to the
bitter end. He looked forward with eager
hope to the result Of this agitation. Eng
land, the chosen home of q self governed
people, would never be subservient to the
insolent prstensions Of hereditary class.
The sentiments of the speakers were received
with enthusiastic applause. A resolution
was adopted denouncing the action of the
Lords In rejecting the reform Of the fran.
chise.

Better Late Than Never.

LONDON, Aug. 5.-Gladstone Is moving a
credit Of 100000 to provide for an expedi.
ton to Soudan. 1t is said the purpose of
the expedition was merely to relieve Gen.
Gordon and not to crush the Mahdi. 1t
would be sufficient to secure good govern
ment In Soudan. The evacuation of that
country is now the question. England was
bound to protect Gen. Gordon. Gladstone
intimated that he was asking members to
vote rather on the principle involved than OH
the exact figures which he anticipated the
expedition would cost. His intention was
to OBTAIN authority to redeem pledges which
had already been made. 1t was undesirable
to enter into details at present. Laoouchere
(radicaD objected. The vote now asked for.
he believed, was mere sop. Next year the
House would be asked to vote ca, OoO, 900 to
carry on the work. The credit was agreed to.
LONDON, Aug. "a credit Of three hum
dred thousand pounds for the Soudan sxpe
dition passed the Commons, ia to 40.

CLEVELAND, o., August 2.-Rev. George

refusing to redeem his alleged promise, was

cigar in bis hand, apparently not worried,
and had the case postponed to await the ar

important witness In the case. He claims IL

that he should conduct confessional. He

The Story OF the Franco Chinese Trou-


PARIS, Aug. 2.-The French yellow book
published to-day, gives the following infor-
nation in regard to the negotiations between
France and China. France at first demanded
Of China an indemnity of 2,5O0,0O0 francs for
the affair at Langson, but after China or.
dered her troops TO withdraw from Tonqun,
France only asked that China should COM
pensate the families Of the soldiers killed at
Langson, and pay the extra expenses which
the Chinese attack made necessary for
France to incur. China objected to the in
demnity, but on July 10 consented to appoint
the Viceroy Of Nankin to enter into negotla-
tions with Patenotre, the French Minister.
China then announced that she bad submit.
ted the indemnity question to the powers.
Between the 9th and Goth Patenotre tele-
graphed the home Government that it was
impossible to arrive at an understanding
with the delegates. China refused TO pay
indemnity, and asked that the time granted
China TO accept the French ultimatum be
extended. Minister Ferry thereupon tels-
graphed Patenotre, July 80, to extend the
respite If necessary. Patenotre replied that
China offered to pay an indemnity Of 1000
| 900 francs, and he refused 1t. July 13 France
Informed Admiral Courbet of her intention
to occupy Foo Choo and Kelung in case
| China refused the French ultimatum. Ad-
miral Courbet was ordered to use force only

the retail merchant, and then to cons umers
sometimes at as low rates to tt latter as
to the former, and supplying the very Gus
TONERS the dealer had purchased for. That
they were the freebooters Of the profession
did not mend matters; the thing was done
aud our merchants most injurously effected.
The established merchant who lives In o
community, who pays taxes and license,
whose money, whose public spirit and the
influence of his social and business relations
assist TO organize and maintain local govern
ment and society Is entitled to protection.
That protection In this case took the form
of license embargo that froze out the small
fry, freebooter class of drummers. This pur-
pose had more to do with the passage of the
law than the object Of obtaining revenue
from the commercial travellers. That pro-
lection should still be kept in view; but it
can be attained, we believe, by better law,
for the present one Is unequal, In that the
license IL uniform in all counties, whereas q
license for Silver Bow or Lewis al Clarke
Is certainly worth more than one for Cho-
teau or dawson. L ne amount OF the llcense,
indirectly, comes off consumers, for the ex-
pense Of It is necessarily added to the price
of goods sold. Commercial traveller are
convenience TO business men. They carry
samples TO the houses of merchants who do
not visit the great cities. They bring the
novelties and new goods promptly even to
those who do. They exhibit in a loom in
the town Of the merchant articles he might
be days in hunting up in the market, and
they do business with him on his own
ground, saving him time, expense and toll.
and acquainting themselves as TO his rela-
blity. Beside this, his expenses in town
are part of its support. All these are ad-
vantages to the dealer. But when the COM
mercial traveller supplies the dealers Gus
TONERS he works him an injury. Now, 1t
seems to us, the better way is to repeal the
travellers license tax. Let all come who
will and sell goods free to established resi-
dent merchants who pay license, but crowd
the license on him If he sells to other than
| licensed dealers. This is now the law in
Georgia and we believe it is q good one.
Let the bars be taken down at the next
session of the Legislature; but In the mean
time enforce the existing law.

Trial of General Swain.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-Major Scott, Judge
Advocate of the court martial appointed to
try General Swain, has prepared charges
upon which that officer will be called to &C.
count. The charges are: First, conduct I'M
becoming an officer and gentlemen; second,
neglect of duty. The specifications under
the first charge, after reviewing the transac-
Bateman, allege: First, the former accepted
from Bateman & Co., an acknowledgment Of
deposit of IS 600, which was simple men,
orandum, and after Withdrawing S., 300 of
that sum, he assigned and transferred the
written acknowledgment of the firm to
Bright, Humphrey & Co., and did thereupon
knowingly and fraudulentIy seek through
said named firm to compel Bateman & Co.
to cash the 5000 acknowledgment, thus at
tempting to commit fraud upon said Bate
Gen. Swain improperly sought in personal
interview with Bateman to evade and pre-
vent an investigation, and to obtain from
him letter retracting the charges preferred;
third, the specification alleges when the
grave and serious charges were referred to
Gen. Swain, and had been publicly circu-
lated, he failed to demand or request an in
vestigation by a court of inquiry, but ad-
dressed letter of explanation and denial TO
the Secretary Of War, which was evasive,
uncandid, aud false, and calculated and in
tended to deceive the Secretary of War, in
seven particulars. regarding his transactions
with Bateman. The specification alleges
that Gen. Swain, upon learning that certain
bankers had entered into a combination to
secure rembursemeuts of certain sums of
money advanced by them to Lieut.. Col. A.
p. Morrow, of the Sixth Cavalry, on fraudu.
lent pay accounts, and that the value of said
combination depended upon Col. Morrows
immunity from trial for the utterance of
fraudulent pay accounts, did threaten to use
his official position aud knowledge so as to
cause a dismissal from the army, or other
wise impair the value of the securities given
by Morrow to the bankers, unless they pro-
vided for the payment of the claim of Sis
held by him (Swaim) against Morrow. The
second charge, that of neglect of duty, Is
based on Gen. Swaim's failure to report the
facts or procure the prosecution of Morrow
on a charge of duplicating pay accounts,
when evidence of the offense came to his
knowledge through information received
from Bateman.
1t IS understood further investigation Is
being made with view to bringing add.
tional charges against Gen. Swain. The
charges against COL Morrow Of duplicating
the pay accounts will be investigated by the
same court martial.

WILL CLEVELAND WITHDRAW 2
Sunshine and Starlight on the Question.

New YORK, August 2.-The Sun pub
fishes double loaded note from CORES
pondent, who says: Let the Democratic Ma
tional Committee tell Cleveland that his
nominations was mistake, at any rate pre-
mature, and he cannot hesitate to retire, for
he must see that would secure success to the
ticket at once and great credit to himself
But would Tilden, in that event, be persuad-
ed to consent TO the use of his name? TIL
den is a patriot as we'll as a statesman. He
has no false pride. His consent under such
circumstances would be the crowning glory
of his life, and the people would all say,
amen.
NEW YORK, August 2.-.The Star, Kelly's
organ, Gays Of the Suns doubled-leaded ar
ticle yesterday on Cleveland's withdrawal:
We find the proposition discussed in other
papers also. Undoubtedly the substitution
of Tilden for Cleveland would produce a
marvellous effect. 1t would harmonic the
Democracy, endow them with new energy,
aud leave M possible room for doubt as to
the result, but would 1t be decorous to ask
Cleveland to withdraw, now that be has ac-
cepted? Is 1t conceivable that he would
withdraw under the circumstances
The Sun continues Its eccentric course. 1t
rebukes the Times for its perversion of facts
In the Mulligan letter case, and convicts it of
Misrepresentation. 1t says: The Sun pre-
fers to conduct its operations against Blaine
with some regard to the principles of justice
and due appreciation Of the value of ascer-
tain facts.
The Sun returns again to the charges
against Cleveland. 1t says the charges must
either be wholly ignored by Cleveland's
friends, treated with silent contempt as Mr..
aa1nu, s-yS, a,ISS auu ausu1fvu
fullest and most conclusive manner. Which
Is the proper course to pursue under the cir
cumstances is the most serious question that
just at this time confronts the Democratic
candidate.
The Sun also says: We confess that all
our researches into philosophy and ethics do
not elucidate 10 our mind the subtle princi-
pie on which the Erening Post Bases a por-
ton Of its defense of Grover Cleveland
against the recent charges of scandal.
