Tho editor Of the Phillips County
News claims to be ne ewspaper man
from away back and still hc makes
the humiliating confession, this week
that he did not know, when his last
weeks issue came ont, that silver had
been legal tender for the last ten
years. An old newspaper man should
be better posted than that. However,
the act restoring silver was passed
soon after Williams Topped over to
the democrats and since that time his
memory has not been very good when
he wishes to make statements for
campaign capital.

MoNEY-LoANING PROJECT.

An address delivered before the Bankers
Association at Los Angeles notices the
proposition for the Government to enter
into the mOney-l0aning business in the fol-
lowing language:
An Illustration of the impolicy OF the Govern
ment loaniug its credit comes nearer home. viz:
the large loans to the sO-called Pacific roads.
After receiving large subsidy in lands they
were granted credit OF $4,000 per mile
10 Government bonds on The valley sections, aud
as high as 500, 900 per mile in he mountain
tons. This magnificent grant was soon abused,
and We had early the scandal Of iengthening the
lines in cheap construction localities, and eeitif
cations of mountain sections too pear The bottom
of The valley Or the sea.
Tie original bill provided that til Government
should be cured by first mortgage; but iHfiu-
euces were early brought to bear to change this
10 a second mortgage. While their builders have
arisen TO be among the weaitniest people OF The
EARTH we see them refusing TO provide for the
credits by which they arose, striving by all
means TO rerudate OF slave of or compromise
those credits. Does not such a history raise Tie
thought That if we are TO make such advances ii
is hardly worth while to make lhe interest per
cent? tbat for all practical purposes the loans
might just as wei he considered bonuses, as it
would hardly he worth while to spend any good
moaey in eDdeayoriug TO collect them?
We do not see how the project of loaning
money by the General Government couid be
put in any fern which would more conclu-
siyely show the dagger to the country Of
such proposition as that put forth by Mr..
Stanford recently in the Senate in the form
of bill providing for loans. In the event
OF the enactment OF such law money would
be loaned in every portion of the country,
for surely each section would demand
its quota, and then it wonld follow, of
course, that all descriptions of permanent
property would come in for share of the
loans. Does any sane person believe that
railroad managers would be SO modest as
not to ask for loans? If the stockholders OF
the Central Pacific were to establish a
precedent railroads would demand the lions
share. And if the Government cannot COL
lect its dues where but two railroad corpora
tons are interested, how could it be ex-
pected, where money was loaned all over
the Union and upon every description of
property, that these amounts would be col
lected? If few railroads have been able
to corrupt Legislatures and elect Senators.
rendering it difficult to enforce single
claim, how could debts be collected which
would be found everywhere throughout the
length and breadth of the Union?

ASHORE on AN ISLAND.
Biunt's Claim for Damages Against TIN
ParIfin Nail

Blunt's Claim for Damages Against the
Pacific Mail.
On March D. 1888, William G. Blunt, then
aged 16 boarded the steamship Newport at
New York bound as Storage passenger
for this port, and on arrival at Aspinwall
was transfer ed to the cars of the Pacific
Mail Steamship Company and taken across
the lstbmus of Darien to the Pacific side
At The City of Panama he shipped on the
Acapulco, which on April 4th folio wing
safely steamed through the Golden Gate.
But Blunt was not among the passengers.
His adventures began when the Acap ulco
reached point in the Pa ifc directly oppo-
site the city of Acapulco, Mex, at which
place he was for IDLY taken from the
inhabited only by persons afflicted with
smallpox. Here for over twenty days he
lived in constant fear of catching the loath-
some disease, and was subjected to the
s:orchmg heat of tropical sun, besides hav-
ing nothing to eat but crackers. His bodily
suffering and mental anguish were simply
unbearaDle, ana Tor the damages sustained
he has sued the company for $4,000.
HE iatter'S answer states that in the trip
described eight persons were taken with
smallpox, among whom was Blunt. All
possible care was given the afflicted, but at
the earliest opportunity they were placed
on the island, iE being deemed that the
change woul1 be conducive to their recovery.
Furthermore, the authorities at Acapulco
had ordered that Blunt and the others be
placed on the island, the name of which is
Griffins Island. So far from its being a des-
ert, it is covered with vegetation and is well
populated and furnished with a comfortable
smallpox hospital, maintained by the Mexi-
can Government.
The case is on trial before jury in Judge
Firms department, and for the plaintiff it
is claimed that he never had the smallpox
nor anything like it, and the plaintiff will
introduce the doctor of the San Jose, which
took him off the island, and other persons,
to prove this claim. The defense will be
that the symptoms justified his quarantine at
Acapulco, and that while at the hospital on
Griffins Island he was we'll cared for.

BECAUSE OF INSANITY.
Robert Du Rose Found Not Guilty
of Murder.

The trial of Robert du Rose for the killing
of his wife, Lizzie, at an EIiis-street lodging
house in January, came to an end late yes
terday afternoon with a verdict OF not guilty
because of insanity.
If the defendant received scoring at the
hands of Assistant District Attorney Hin
kle on Monday afternoon, and again yester-
day afternoon, when the closing address was
made for the people, some Earsher term
must be applied to the manner in which
MITCHELL the imam in the case" was han
died by the attorneys for Du Rose. Messrs.
Long and Wilson, in their addresses to the
jury.
Mr.. Wilson spoke of him rs a moral leper,
one utterly devoid of shame and thoroughly
criminal by nature. He SAID Mitchell was
moral ulcer, thriving on his own stencil, and
like human jackai. licking his own lccher
Gus lips on his ill-gotten booty. Adultery is
like the sewer system Of Paris and Mitchell
like a sewer trap.
"Uron the second interview on the fatal
night" said Mr.. Wilson, why did Mrs du
Rose call her husband into Mitchell sr0om?
Was it for the purpose Of getting him into
cleVeriy concocted trap, that he might be
gotten rid of by the paramour'5 pistol?
Parts OF Attorney Longs address were
extremely pathetic. Taking Du Roses
little curly headed child i'll his arms and
pacing back and forth before the jury he
dWeit upon the unhappy nome caused by
| the mothers intidelitY, and with tears in his
eyes depicted the scenes of the father com
ing home again and again and finding the
poor child crying for mamma" Many
members Of the jury were visibly affected
| by Longs dramatic manner and several Of
| them could not reStI ain their tears.
| Iu referring TO Mitchell Mr.. Long said
that the District Attorney had already
painted Mitchell so black that he was now
| in hell and would never get out. II was
| Mitchell, he intimated, who tried to lure Du
! Rose 10 his fate on that fatal night that a
| hated rival might be gotten rid of.
The courtroom was even more packed, il
| possible, during the speeches to the jury
| than duting the trial. Judge Troutt's charge
| to the jury was not lengthy and seemed fair
| to botn prosecution and defendant. The
| jury retired at 20 o'clock and came in at
| 5;IJ,
