THE COLLIN EXAMINATION.

The examination of Deputy United
States Marshal Collin is ended and the
defendant discharged. The discharge of
Collin will be u satisfaction to all who
have carefully and impartially weighed
the evidence that was adduced at the ex-
animation. So far as an examination
can establish fact, the fact is established
that Collin was set upon by McMurrin in
the Social Hall alley-way, and set upon
either for the purpose Of maltreating or
numbering Collin, and in either case Col.
lin acted rs man and as he should have
done. If Collin made any attempt on
McMurrin, why did not McMurrin come
forward at the time Of the examination
to tell what that attempt was
His own silence confirms the evil
dence OF Collin, and all the cir
cumstantial evidence goes to prove
that what Collin said about the encounter
is true. McMurrin has disappeared as
suddenly as possible, and even his own
family know nothing Of his whereabouts,
according to their testimony. Is it pos
sible 10 give any reasonable explanation
OF McMurrin's disappearance that will
be favorable to him? 1t may be said
that he was afraid to present himself for
examination or trial because he feared he
could not have a fair and impartial ex-
animation or trial before the present Fed
eral officials. 1t is an old excuse that has
frequently done duty in the absence OF
better, and McMurrin has high precedent
for his employment OF this excuse, for the
same excuse was given by Mr.. James G.
Blaine for the withdrawal of his suit for
libel against the indianapolis Sentinel.
Among McMurrin's co-religionists he
will still be looked upon Us most
exemplary young man, and they will
look upon any charges against him
as the Vaccinations OF his and their ene-
mics. This is the very theory put forth
in the NeDs OF last night, for that paper
says, in speaking of a remark made by
Commissioner Mckay, that it was pity
that Collin did not kill the others who
were with McMurrin, "We, too, think it
is pity he did not at least severely
wound the others, but we do not believe
he desired to do anything Of the kind, for
we are satisfied, from the evidence in the
case, that il he had killed the others there
would have been mourning in the houses
OF some few Deputy's friends, if not in
the ranks OF the Deputy Marshals."
That will be the accepted version OF the
evidence in the Collin examination
by the mass of the people of Utah. But
McMurrin's action in secreting himself
from the'eyes OF the public creates suspi-
cion as to his motives in so doing that
hardly any evidence in future will be
able to clear up. We hope this matter
may come to trial, but this is scarcely
probable. The examination exonerates
Collin and makes the guilt of McMurrin
almost certain. The sentiment which
prompted Commissioner Mckay TO re-
mark in court, while he was sitting as a
committing magistrate, that it was pity
that Collin did not kill the others, NAV
be proper, but it was in very bad taste
for the Commissioner to give utterance to
such remark when and where he did.

FREE COINAGE SILVER BILL.
The Cleveland ssPlain Dealero Pre-
scnts II Plea for -Metalism.

The DEMOCRAT has received, through
the courtesy Of L. E. Holden, Esq, a
copy, in pamphlet form, of "The Plain
Dealer Free Coinage Silver Bill, /" framed
by E. ]. Farmer, which is really plea
for bi-metalism. The bill is replete with
interesting tables and comparisons, en-
bracing exhaustive exhibits OF the opera
tons Of silver as circulating medium in
most of the important European nations,
and particularly in the United States.
The following preface and Introductory
will afford tolerably definite idea of the
basis upon which the bill is predicated.
1t is understood that the bill is now in
the hands of the silver committees in
Washington who have been sent from
the States and Territories favoring silver
coinage, and that an effort will be made
to get it before Congress at an early day !:
The Plain Dealer Silver Bill is in sub
stance the law as it stood from 1893 to 1873.
This bill proposes the free coinage of gold
and silyer-the silver dollar of 41216 grains
half dollars of 206A grains, and silver bills
for circulation, based on standard dollars
and standard silver bars.
At the time this bill appeared in the Plain
Dealer, acknowledgement was given to Gen.
A. j. Warner for sections proposed by him.
Believing as we do, most sincerely, in
equal rights for gold and silver-and above
all in the rights of the people to sound
met alio money-or a currency based on gold
and silver, and not on one to the exclusion
of the other, we present this pamphlet to
the consideration of members of Congress
and all others who take an interest in this
great economic question.
The argument prepared by Mr.. E. j..
Farmer is deserving of the most candid and
careful consideration, as it presents the
chief facts in regard to bi-metalism, and is
supported by statistics from the most au-
thentic sources.

Under the head of"The City's Water supply
published In another column of to-day paper,
the readers OF The STAR will find some inter-
estiug Information upon subject with which
the whole community has vital concern. As
Captain Symons has always been in favor of a
system OF altering the water brought into the
city, IL Is but natural that he should in this
report point out with some Particularly and
emphasis the dangers arising from an impure
water supply, aud the Importance of adopting
some method OF publication.
Just now the people of Washington are con-
Cerped about the quantity of the water brought
TO the city rather than its quality, with which.
for some time past, they have had no special
occasion for serious fault finding: but of course
no one will object TO having purer and better
water than we now get. Indeed every possible
measure ought 10 be adopted TO prevent its pol
luton from any cause. But, even according to
Captain Symons' own showing, the peri! is not
nearly great as ne seems To suppose. To our
mind he rather overestimates the dangers aris-
ing from the surface drainage of the territory
lying along the Potomac and its tributaries,-a
large portion of which is and will long remain
wood-land,-an he overlooks or at least makes
no mention of the power possessed by running
water for purifying itself. 1t must be remem-
bered, too that while slightly muddy water
may be unattractive TO the eye, it by no means
follows that Ii is impure or unhealthy on that
account, any more than clear wafer can be
garded wholly free from deleteriOus sub
stances. Or the whole il is safe to assume that
Washington has little To- complain OF in regard
to the quality of her water. Few cities have
supply more pure and wholesome, and that of
most OF them will suffer greatly by com parison
with it. The present need is more water, and
that, the report above referred to assures Us,
shall have by and by.

Colonel Wilson's expressed hope that the Ma

Garden II one that should awaken a respon-
sive echo in the breast OF every American citi-
zen- His idea that portion of the Smithson-
ian grounds should be devoted to this purpose
will not, however, be SO generally approved.
They are neither large enough nor otherwise
adapted Tor such a geological collection as the
government ought TO and doubtless will some
time bring together. Furthermore, a good
thing to do with the Smithsonian grounds is to
keep them just as they are. The notion that
the parks OF the city should be used for the ac-
COMMUNICATION OF everything for which no
other place can conveniently be found is one
shat ought to be discouraged. The most appro-
pirate and profitable use 10 which a park can
be put Is to keep ii as a park.

The peaceful artistic contest between the Ger

wrongs they are able TO bear the ills of life all
the easier, and to keep both body and mind in
healthy state. The man who persists in sing
ing can never be attacked by the megrms: and,

Who DISCOVERED AMERICA?-An
ingenious argument has recently been
published urging the claims of the
Chinese to be the discoveries of Amer
ica. The books of Ancient Chinese
historians are now in existence which
describe country called Fu-Sang,
visited by Buddhist priests about A.
d. 500.
The accounts of the people, pro-
ducts, etc, of this fowery land show
it to be Mexico. The same voyagers
brought home reports of fog bound
country which, so it is supposed, was
Alaska. Maps exist in China over a
thousand years old in which the coast
line Of America from California to
Alaska is vaguely indicated.
De Guignes holds that America
was first peopled, ages before the
visit of the Buddhist priests, by Ar
catris, who passed across to Alaska
by boats or on the ice, during long
winters. AS proof of the ready
communication between the two con-
,tinents, he cites an account from
Chatlevoix of the missionary Pere
Grellon, who preached in the wilder
ness Of the Northwest and was after
ward sent to Tartary, There he met
Huron woman whom he had known
in Canada. She was slave to Chi
namen who had brought her across
Behring Straits.
Every schoolboy is familiar with
the proofs that Erik the Red crossed
from Iceland to Greenland, in 4. d.
9S6, and Left, one of his comrades,
visited the Southern coasts.
