A COLORADO VIEW OF SIL YER.

In a chat with a TRIBUNE reporter yesterday,
ex-senator Jerome T. Chafiee, of Colorado, said;
whenever say anything about finances there Is
howl that from Colorado and silver manor course
have one satisfaction in knowing that IL these Eastern
money idiots have their way they win bankrupt all the
banks OF NewYork. They want the coinage Of silver
sopned-absOutely and at once. Any ordinary business
mnd can figure out what that means. 1t will throw
sos 900 of silver bullion on the market, and drive
down the price of silver to 20 20 cents That
will mean that each one OF the 900 silver dollars
nav i'm circulation will have intrinsic value OF only
abont go cents. That is to say 1t viii be practicayde
monetlzed. What happened when silver was demOne-
tied before will happen again. Why coin would become
scarccr than you ever It, Wcare just beginning
10 get the benefit OF silver coinage. England has been
depressing silver and putting such high rate OF er
change on India that the people Of that country arc he
ginning TO look around for other trading points They
improved machinery and other articles OF man
ufactre. II we make all the world undersiana that we
intend silver coin they Will soon come back TO
Tie antagonists of silver say that to denoncze sill
yer viii st further depreciate the linda rupee ana en-
tcly destroy Engands trade with that country But II
would only cut on all chance OF trade there ana II
addition woud utterly destroy Of the largest In

TIE Philadelphia Times, Of April
2nd. says: : The district attorney of
Lehigh county has done a good thing
in sending to the Justices of the
Peace within his jurisdiction circu-
lar letter classifying the cases which
they must send to cour;. He would
be doing still better thing if he
were to send copies OF the circular
to all the other District Attorneys OF
the State, witha suggestion that they
distribute copies of it to the Justices
in their respective jurisdictions.
Most Justices of the Peace are ill-in-
formed as TO the law and send nu-
merous cases to the courts which
ought never to be brought there.
Many Magistrates, however, mean
well, and would settle most of the
cases brought before them if given
to understand that they had author
ity to do SO. Those who don't mean
well and who send business to court
to make fees for themselves could
be stopped if the President Judge
would order the County Commiss-
toner's to disallow the costs which
such Magistrates ask the county to
pay in cases that should be settled
in courts of the first instance.

death was inevitable she confessed to
the doctor that Mrs. Hoepfner had
operated on her thirteen times.
DIR. II. w. Medal, who issued the
certificate stating that Alice Kirk had
died of peritonitis, stated that he had
attended deceased four days; he sus-
pected crime, but as he was not pos
tive he did not report the case. He
was admonished to do SO in the fu-
ture, whether positive or not.
Dr. Formal testified to making the
autopsy on the body, which had been
disinterred from the cemetery in
Pottsyille. He found the evidence oi
abortion very complete. This had pro-
duced the peritonitis which caused
death
In accordance with this testimony
the jury rendered a verdict that Alice
Kinks death was caused by acute per
itonitis, produced by an abortion per
formed by Mrs. Hoepfner. The pris-
oner was committed to await the &C
ton of the Grand Jury.
The Coroner is In possession Of
the names Of several hundred womer
who have been in the house of Mrs
Hoepfner, and it is believed that sh'
has burned up the bodies of hun
dreds of infants during the past few
years.

The Lock Haven Democrat says ::
Strange things happen in this life.
"Truth is stranger than fiction as
the following coincidence will prove {:
Last Thursday evening the Sons of
Veterans received at their rooms ten
guns from the government. Being
in a rusted condition they were taken
to the Veterans respective homes to
polish. Harry Calderwood, of Belle
fonte avenue, after polishing his gun
found the inscription, wv. A. Calder
wood" on 1.-THE musket his own ia
ther had carried in the war of the re-
bellion, just twenty-one years ago.
Considerable excitement was occa-
stoned in Selinsgrove a Sunday even
ing recently by the falling of one of
heavy chandeliers in the Lutheran
church. The lamps broke and oil ig-
nited, but the half dozen or more
men present succeeded in smother
ing the flames with cushions, carpet
and mating. Had the accident oc-
Cured earlier, when only the sexton
was present, the flames would nc
doubt have been too much for him
and had it occurred later, when the
seats under the chandelier would
have been occupied, lives might have
been lost.
The Altoona Times relates the fol
lowing: One month ago Squire Van
devander, of McConne llstown, Hunt
ingdon county, dreamed he WIS il
the woods hunting dser He was be
hind tree, he fsncied, when full
grown buck came bouncing out of 1
thicket directly in front of him. b,
discharged his rifle at it, as h'
thought, but Immediately found b.
had kicked through the plaste-ing o
the wall with his foot and had broker
his knee-cap and sprained his leg
The Squire often gets that way il
dreams. He had lifted up his leg in
stead of his gun, and instead of fir
ing the prejectile from the gun a
the bounding buck, he had aimed I
terrific kick with his foot at the limo
cent wall. Since that time the Squir,
has been disabled, and it is only re
Gently that he has contrived to NOV,
about at all.

UNDER a strong system of govern
ment the state is everything, the in
dividual, nothing. The fathers of
the Republic did not believe in that
system of government. They were
ready TO sacrifice their lives to fight
it down. They believed that the
state is nothing only as means to
protect people in their private efforts
to secure a living and acquire homes.
Now, however, the people by thou
sands desire to lean on the govern
ment for maintenance. Thousands
prefer begging to working, thousands
prefer to be paupers, rather than
work, thousands prefer to DE epension-
ers, and it is even proposed in this
state to pension school teachers, who
have served O certain number OF years
in the schools. 1t is not good sign
for the perpetuation of the Republic,
when people, almost by wholesale,
desire the government to keep them.
When people are eager for such keep
ing, they are nearer than they may
be willing to confess, to any system
of government, that will keep them
in bread and butter
