The Popularity of Silver.

Some Of the Northern journals are
euGoavOring to create the impression
that the masses Of the people are indif-
fcrrnt tC silver legislation and do not
give The subject sufficient attention to
be- even fairly posted az to the merits of
~" discussion going on in Congress. 1t
Is contended that the agitation for free
coinage is limited solely to few Western
owners Of silver mines, and to members
ri Congress who favor it for partisan
ends.
Of course it Is natural for New York
journals TO disapprOye and belittle what
Wall street deems prejudiciai to its i'll
tcrests in the hope that the cheaper me-
val may he kept in the background so
that Eastern capitalists and money len
drrs may continue to exort high rates of
Interests on loans.
There is to-day outside of Wall street
not business man Of any prominence
Who has failed TO note the fact that in
spite Of the dire predictions made as 10
ihe disastrous effects to be expected from
40 liberal coinage of silver, the free
supply of the white metal has been so
absorbed by the country that there is
now an urgent demand for further ex-
pansion Of our currency system. That
the success with which the country has
absorbed the amount of silver purchased
under the old act should have encOurag-
ed the people to demand an even freer
Use of silver is not surprising, as in that
direction only was there hope of perma-
nent relief from the monetary stringen-
cy that has prevailed for some years
back.
That there is a general demand for
free coinage, growing out of the neces-
sity of further expanding our currency,
is unbOubted, and that the people fully
understand the issue and all that is in
volved in free coinage is undoubtedly
true, the Eastern press to the contrary
Observation-Disclosures.

The New York World publishes
an interview with Minister Tsui,
the Chinese Ambassador to Was
hington, Minister Tsui said;
Unless the United State Govern
ment repeats the law which ex-
cludes my countrymen from this
country, we shall treat Americans
to dose of their own medicine.
| mean that we shall exclude citi-
Zens Of the United States from the
Chinese Empire. We hope we
shall not be pushed to any mea-
sures of retaliation. The Chinese
foreign Office has sent several de-
mands to Mr.. Blaine to repeal the
exclusion law. We have received
no reply from him. Of course,
Congress alone can set right the
present outrage; but the State De-
partmentis the proper charmed of
negotiation"

a NEW RULE OF COURT.
No Papers to be Taken From the File,
Except by Auditors or Examiners.

The following amendment to the rules Of the
Court in General Term has been adopted:
The clerk shall not hereafter allow any
original papers in any cause, at law or equity,
TO be taken out OF his custody, except by the
auditor or by an examiner Of the court He may
deliver such papers to the auditor when the
cause has been referred to him by the court
Tor report or account. When an examiner
has been required to take testimony in cause
the clerk may deliver to him, upon application,
such papers fled therein q are required for use
in taking such testimony. A receipt shall in
all cases be taken by the clerk in a book kept
for the purpose, enumeratng or sufficiently de-
scribing the papers so delivered by him to the
auditor or examiner, and such papers shall be
returned to the clerk with all convenient speed.
In no case shall the auditor or examiner allow
any papers so delivered to him by the clerk or
that may be filed before him as evidence dur
ing the examination to be taken out of his
office by any person, nor to be examined by
others, except in the Office Of such auditor or
examiner"
An order has also been passed directing the
clerk to forthwith take measures to secure the
return Of papers belonging to the files now in
the hands OF attorneys other than the auditor
and examiners
In carrying out this rule much additional
labor will be entailed upon the clerks Office,
the business Of which at the present time is
sufficient to keep the force fully occupied. 1t
will also entail some additional work on at
torneys, and it is proposed for their accommo-
dalton to provide room or space in the files
room with desks, &C., where the papers may
be copied When once the papers are all in
place and the rule in full force it will greatly
facilitate business

TRYING LIQUOR CASES
Judge Miller Makes Ready to Clear
His Docket.

The Police Court held Q special session yes
terdsy afternoon for the trial of the many liquor
cases that have been pending for some days,
and also to dispose Of number of appeal cases
that were sent back from the Criminal Court
because Of the failure of the defendants to
pay the IS docket fee to the clerk Of that
court.
Judge Miller sent out notices to counsel in
the cases that they would have to appear and
try their cases or give some good reason
why they wanted a postponement. In
event Of q postponement the cases, the court
said, would be set peremptorily for trial, as the
court was DESTROYS Of closing the heavy docket
before summer if possible.
The first case called was that Of James White,
whose saloon 10 at No. 1926 Pennsylvania ave-
nue. northwest. There were two charges Of
selling after hours against him.
The court heard the evidence Of the officers
In the case, but as the defendants counsel, Mr.
Gloss, would not admit that his client kept a
licensed place the cases were held open until
the license clerk, Mr.. Montague, could be sent
for.
License Clerk Montague appeared with the
books and gave evidence against the defendant
In one case the court imposed fine OF 3d.
but the evidence in the other was insufficient
and that charge was dismissed.
THE FRANKLIN CLUB CASE.
The case of Matthew Cunningham, president
Of the Franklin Club, was called. He was
charged with keeping an unlicensed bar. The
club meets in q room in the rear Of Hurdles
saloon, on d street near 18th. Hurdles appli-
cation for license was rejected, and soon after
the Commissioners took that action the club
was incorporated. The evidence heard was
directed to Cunningham but it failed to estab-
lish his responsibility, and the case was dis
missed.
Lieut. Amiss says he is going to proceed
against all the members Of the club as he did
against the members Of club formed under
similar circumstances two years ago.

SELECTING A RIFLE TEAM.
What Inspector Pollard Says Of the
National Guard Practice.

'You may tell the people Of Washington tina,
the District National Guard will have a rifle
team at Creedmoor," said Maj. Pollard to q
STAR reporter last night "There have been
times" he continued, when was perhaps a
little dubious about it, but today's shooting
has convinced me that we have Q lot of first
class material"
This was said at the conclusion Of an after
Moons practice that had in it more anti-shoot-
ing elements than generally combine to form
the meteorological conditions OF one day.
Practice was commenced at 200 yards shortly
after 2 o'clock with a strong southwest wind
blowing. Under the influence Of this breeze
which was very gusty, the muzzle of a rife
would seem to expand until the marksman
thought it was as wide as an old bell-mouthed
blunderbuss. At 800 yards there was a sprin.
king Of rain in addition to the wind trouble but
the good character Of the work done did no,
depreciate.
About sixty men started in at 200 yards, but
number OF them were disqualified from work
at 300 yards by failure to make so per cent OF
the highest possible. At 800 yards many more
fell victims to uncertainty of aim.
Primary selection has now been concluded
and Maj. Pollard will select his team from
those who have already qualified.

A NOVEL ORGANIZATION.
Cooperation OF Borrowers to Secure
Lower Rates Of Interest.

Ten per cent q month ON small loans is the
excessive rate Of interest paid by some govern
ment employees and other hard-up individual
1t was stated in THE STAR a few weeks ago that
an organization WAS contemplated among these
money borrowers in order to obtain better
rates. Such an organization has been forme
and it is composed mainly Of those in the gov
eminent service. The purpose, to use the
words OF the constitution, "is to protect our
members who are compelled to borrow money
from time to time and to keep them out Of the
hands Of the 10 per cent brokers and to neso-
tiate loans for them at the smallest possible
percentage" 1t Is further provided
that ''the organization shall consist Of not
more than 500 members Members shall not
be charged more than per cent q month on
any moneys loaned to or borrowed through
said organization, and no one shall borrow at
any one time more than S150. The presi-
dent and secretary shall not approve any MEM
ber's note for more than the above-named
amount. Any member borrowing money
through the organization and failing to honor
his note without lawful and legal excuse shall
be expelled and the sum Of 81 assessed from
each member shall 60 to save any note from
being protested" Arrangements have been
made with several private banks to handle the
notes Of the members Of the association.
