der of Samuel Day commenced yesterday
morning at o'clock, and at this writing
witnesses are still being examined. The
case is claiming the attention of not lew
of our citizens, and oil day yesterday the
City Hall was filed with crowd eagre to
grasp every word that was spoken by the
witnesses arraigned for testimony. Shan
non Archer was put on the stand shortly
after court opened. His head wore GOV,
eling Of bandanges and he looked as if he
was badly used up.
bud" Borham was also brought into the
witness room in the morning, Archer s
testimony is about the same as that which
appeared in the Bellaire papers. The ties
timony of Drs Close and Steere did moi
differ materially from that of Archers.
Borham will enter plea Of self defense
based on the fact that he and Archer were
enemies. 1t was desired to get Joseph Nc
Mahon, Of Benwood, to give what he saw
Ct the late fatality, but he could not be in
duced to cross the river. McMahon caught
Borham's hand as it descended on Archer
when both men were tugging in the road
The case will, in all probability, be de
cided this morning. James i. Anderson
ard George NJ. Woodbridge appeared fol
the prosecution and James Tallmsn and j

BlAINE'S LIBEL SUIT.

The Matter Probably Wholly at an End.
NEW YORK, December 5.-Two Of the
campaign stories were set at rest yester-
day. Mr.. Blaine dined with Chairman
Chaffee, Secretary Fessenden and Garrett
A. Hobart, at the residence of S. B. FL
kins thus disposing of the story that he is
displeased with the national committee.
The fact also came out that shortly after
the election, instead of accusing the New
York state committee of bad work and bad
faith, he wrote very warm letter of
thanks to Chairman Warren, of
the state committee, commend
ing their work and endeavor. Mr..
Blaine was occupied, most of the day in
business matters. Among his callers were
Ex-Governor A. B. Cornell, VIM. NJ. Evarts
and Walter S. Gurney. He attended the
Star theatre last night to see Irving
and Terry in Twelfth Night" The thea
tre was packed. He occupied a box with
Mr.. and Mrs. Elkins Mr.. and Mrs. White
law Reid and Mr.. and Mrs. r. c. McCor-
mick. He left for Washington on the lin
tied express this morning. 1t is said
that Mr.. Blane's libel suit against
the indianapolis Sentinel is likely
to fall through by reason of an
informality in the proceedings, or rather the
proceedings will be barred. 1t seems that
the Sentinel people in one of the motions
containing interrogations asked that if Mr..
Blaine failed to answer them, an injunction
issue against his further pursuing the case.
The Judge directed the question to be for
warded 10 Mr. Blaine. 1t was not under
stood that he ordered the injunction in case
Of refusal to answer. No replies were made.
1t is now asserted that the order of the
Judge transmitting the interrogations was
also an Injunction in case of refusal.

THE NEW YORK SUN.
Intimates That the National lJank Circu-
lafion Must Co.


lation Must Go.
New YORK, December 5.-The Sun in a
notable double loaded article discusses the
question Of our coming National currency
and reaches the conclusion that the Ma
tional Bank currency must go, and give
place to q Government currency Of
coin and paper money. The article
notes carefully the rapid decrease
of national bank circulation and the more
rapid increase in coin and coin certificates,
and says: "This will give us by 1891
a grand total of $l,l35, 900, 900 of Govern
ment currency against not more than ST.
100000 000, and probably less supplied BY the
banks. OF course much may happen to mod.
ify or prevent this result. The conduct of
men cannot be predicted so confidently as
that OF inaminate things. The legal tenders
may be redeemed and withdrawn, the coin
age of silver dollars may be suspended and
the supply Of gold may be diminished
at the mines or be drained away
to foreign countries. The decrease
of National Bank circulation may, on the
other hand, be checked BY favoring legisla-
ton, but the probabilities are greatly
against these events, and, as we said at the
outside, it is much more likely that Nation
al Bank notes will be driven out ofuse alto
gether, and their place taken by an exclu-
sively Government currency. The exist
ence of the National Bank circulation it
must be remembered depends entirely upon
the profit it yields the banks. These insti.
tuition are conducted upon commercial and
not upon
Philanthropfc Principles.
So long as the bonds required as security
for their circulation bear a sufficiently high
rate of interest they will issue the notes,
but so soon as the rate falls below the pay.
ing point the circulation will be Withdrawn.
At present there are enough three per
cents to be had at about par to make
it worth while to take out cir
culalion upon them, but these
bonds as we know will all soon be paid of
and the comptroller Of the currency tells us
that the fours and four-halis are already too
high to make them profitable basis for
circulation. The four-and-a-halfs will
surely be redeemed at their maturity in
1891 and the four's are rising in price con
tinually under the competition for them BY
executors, trustees, savings institutions and
timid investors. That the people OF
the United States will for the sake Of the
banks, sanction any legislation by which
either the national debt shall be prolonged
or the interest upon it be Increased 1t is
idle to suppose. That they will permit
banks 10 issue circulation on any less secure
basis than United States bonds is equally
incredible. There is no escape that we
can see from the hard logic of fact The
national bank currency must go and that
pretty soon.

be seen that Butler has polled less than half
the votes given for Weaver four years ago:
and while the Prohibition vote is increased
by lao, 747, the whole of the side show
