WE are hearing great deal about
the 79ct. silver dollar. These people
seem to be ignorant of the fact that the
Congress of the United States is en-
powered by the Constitution to coin
money and regulate the value thereof
The silver dollar in question is coined
under this provision, and its value
fixed at 100 cents. 1t will buy as
much of anything in the American
market as any other dollar, and it will
continue to do this until otherwise de.
creed by Congress. AS reason why
this dollar should be in some way dis
honored, it is urged that it only con-
tains seventy-nine cents worth of sill
yer according to the price at which
silver bullion is quoted in the Europe
an market This argument implies
concession to foreign dictation which
can only be granted at the expense of
American humiliation. If we are to
enlarge our silver dollar until it shall
contain dollars worth of bullion at
the European quotation, what reason
would remain why the price of bullion
should not decline further to Scots,
thus perpetuating the present arbitra-
ry disparity in value (21cts.) between
it and the dollar? Especially as the
present disparity has been forced by a
conspiracy between the monometalists
of Europe and America, for the ad-
vantage over labor and the people that
the single standard villainy would
give them. 1t was for the protection
of labor and the masses against the in
trigues and conspiracies of capital that
the trainers of the constitution en-
powered Congress to regulate the
value" of its own and foreign coin
ages; and it is through the efficacy of
this wise provision, as construed by
the Democrats in Congress in favor of
the people, which saves the people
now from the outrage and the calami-
ty which the greedy single gold stand
ard scoundrels would infiict upon
them. Since our people are not per-
mitted to reduce the standard wheat
bushel in the ratio of the difference
between the cost of production here
and in India, let us not enlarge or
otherwise dishonor our silver dollar in
order to accommodate it to the Eu-
ropean quotations of silver bullion.
Let us stand by our silver dollar just
as it is today-continue to make it
good for one hundred cents in Ameri-
can products and in the American
markets, and it wiH take care of itself.
What of the dollar, by the way,
which, whether it be of gold, silver,
or paper, is reduced to the value of go
cents by the operations of the Repub-
lican robber tariff? The Republican
policy by which every dollar earned
by labor is discounted 40 per cent. in
exchange for the necessaries of life, is
the policy of labor, oppression and
pauperization. This Republican rob-
ber-tariff 60ct, ,-dollar is the dollar to
cry out against Bellefontaine Ex-
aminer.

Elected From a Train.

Mr.. Il. Il. Chase, Of Corinne, informs
the DEMOCRAT that Mr.. George Ernst, of
Belmont, Nevada, was elected from the
west-bound passenger train at that place
last evening. The reason for the eject
ment was that the special agent who
accompanies the train from Ogden
claimed that the passenger was riding
upon scalper's ticket, from the fact
that Mr.. Ernst's signature.did not cores
pond with that upon the ticket. Mr..
Ernst, on the contrary, asserts that he
purchased the ticket in good faith and in
his own name at the regular office in
Omaha. He refused to leave the train
unless force was used, which was applied,
and he was elected. Mr.. Ernst is a prom
inent citizen OF Nevada, having served a
couple of terms in the Legislature, and
Surveyor in that State. He declared his
intention to commence suit against the
railroad company for damages. If mis-
take, it is an unfortunate one, and one
which the company will doubtless rectify
to the satisfaction OF Mr.. Ernst upon his
showing the correctness of his statement.
The similitude or the contrary OF sigma
lures is about the only means by
which straight tickets can be distin-
guished from scalper's, and the most
cautious and competent agent or con-
ductor is liable to be sometimes misled
by an apparent discrepancy between
them. AS we understand that the mat
ter has been telegraphed to the Western
press we give the facts as related to us.

and testified as follows: Served the war
rant Of arrest upon defendant; first saw
him in his bayfield, as we were driving
down the road he saw us approaching ;
he left his work. and we saw him walk
ing away from the wagon; drove past
the field entered the next field; when |
was about 100 yards from him he raised
up TO see where we were, and it was in
that way found him took him to the
house; the two houses in question are
under the same roof.
To the defense: There is about two
feet between the two houses; the doors
of the two Kitchens are opposite and the
space between them is rooted over. Ex-
cused.
Here the prosecution rested, and the
defense opened by calling James Win
chester, who said: When the new part
was built, the alley way was covered over
at about the same time; don't know
whether the roof over the alley way is the
same height as that OF the houses or not ;
there can't be much difference.
Mr.. Dickson then asked permission to
reopen the case and take the witness as
his own.
This was objected to by the defense,
but the Court overruled the objection
and granted the request.
Witness then testified as follows to the
prosecution: Have been acquainted with
defendant several years; have known the
wives for years; was in the house last
fall met Higgins and the two wives there
in the same room. Excused.
Mr.. Dickson then stated that it had
been agreed to submit the case without
argument, and moved to dismiss the last
count on the ground that it had been
shown that the defendant was not at
home during the time covered by that
count.
The Court dismissed the said count,
and after charging the jury briefly, he
ordered that body to retire.
A recess was then taken until p. IN.

A short session OF the City Council was
held at the council chambers last evening
at the usual hour, and the following

roads on South Temple street running
parallel with the Utah & Nevada railway
be put in proper condition. Referred to
the Committee on Streets and Alleys,
with instructions to report Immediately.
The owners OF certain property on
Fourth street asked for a bridge across

to the Committee on Streets and Alleys.
Wholesale and retail druggists asked a
special license for the "Vigor OF Life"
Concert Company to advertise the medi-
cine upon the streets. Not granted.

Grounds reported favoring the objects of

not granted. Adopted.
The Committee on Fire Department
reported the Chief Engineers monthly

A Grand Parade.

The grand street parade OF Coles great
circus stirred up more excitement this
morning than our city has seen for many
q day. Many features of the pageant
were entirely new, and as whole it was
one of the most attractive ever seen here
The calliope, the elephants, camels,
beautiful wagons and fine horses all went
to make it great success.
The sidewalks were literally jammed
with people, making locomotion impossi-
BILE during the parade. People came in
from the country in every direction and
stood with open mouths to see the attrac-
tive procession.
If the whole show is on par with the
parade, and Col. Richards assures us
that it is, no one need fear for the success
OF the engagement here.

The case of the suggers was considered

A delightful open air concert was given at
the Jennings mansion last evening. Hed's

The afternoon performance of the circus
started out most promisingly. The acts are
new and all are worth seeing. The enormous

classes, ages and colors.
A handsomely dressed girl in a disgusting
state of intoxication raised Cain in the rear
of the Federal court house this afternoon.
She was very profuse with her swear words,
and it was with difficulty that she was finally
suppressed. The racket she made was not
conducive to good order in the court room,
and Deputy Hurd therefore put his foot
down on the damsel's fun.
1t was rumored on the street this after
noon to the effect that valuable vein of
coal has been found within fourteen miles
of town. 1t is, like all other rich things,
shrouded in mystery, but there seems to be
good foundation for the report. The vein,
it is claimed, is 10-foot one, and yields q
good quality of anthracite coal. Should the
thing pan out we'll, the lucky finders have a
fortune at hand.
The five-count u @. case against Charles
M. Bergstom was submitted to the jury at
late hour yesterday afternoon, and after
being out II short time it returned verdict
of guilty as charged in the first three counts.
The time covered by these counts was that

vorce to the first wife, The defendant asked
that sentence be deferred for few days,
and the request was granted.
