THE PROOLAMATION.


The real governor of Connecticut means
to do his duty. It having come to his
knowledge that certain persons, without
authority of law, have combined to de-
mand, take and hold the chief executive
Offices of this State, and to perform the
functions thereof, and such claims, de-
mands and attempts to take and hold
said Offices being unauthorized, Illegal
and prejudicial to the good order and
peace of the State, and tending to con-
fusion in the administration of it's govern
ment he commands all such persons to
desist from their unlawful acts, and
he warns all concerned not to aid and
abet such persons in their unlawful acts.
And he further gives notice that he in
tends to uphold the constitution and laws
of the State against the attacks made upon
them by the pretenders.
This sounds serious. It is serious. We
should think that it, would make Judge
Norris and his advisers think be-
fore they 60 any further in the path they
have entered upon. But if it does not,
and if they are determined to go on they
will find that Governor Bulkeley means
business and that he will be supported by
the good citizens of the State, irrespective
of party. These citizens are already tired
of the unseemly and futile wrangling, and
they believe that Judge Morris and his ad-
visers have made great mistake. Most
of the people Of this State have higher
regard for law and order than for partisan
advantage, and they will show it if the oc-
casion for 1t arises.

COMMUNICATIONS.
The silver Dollar.

To the Editor Of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
Ordinary mortals should tread carefully
where even senators stumble. Neverthe-
less am moved to say few words, mere
ly as one of the people, about the silver
dollar. 1t bothers me to know what good
it does to coin and then store up in vaults
such immense quantities of silver. have
at hand an experiment ON a small scale
that seems to illustrate what the nation is
doing on a large scale. 1t happened that
my grandfather had a silver dollar OF 1904,
which came fresh from the mint to mis-
pocket, and that he kept as curiosity.
When dying he gave it as memento to
my uncle Finally it came to me in a SIM
liar way. That dollar has never been used
as money, having been held as mere
curiosity, or as keepsake from the start.
Nothing would now induce me to part
with it. Hence it forms no part of my
wealth-if may be allowed to use such a
word concerning my very limited posses
sions. A dollar that is never used has NO
money value for that very reason. And if
it is reasonably certain that it never will
be set into actual circulation, the fair con-
clusion is that it never will be practical
money, whatever name it may be called by.
The silver of the United States, if it is
not to be put to actual use, might as well
repose in the mine as in the treasury
vaults, except for the private benefit ac-
cruing to the miner to whom the govern
ment. on the free coinage plan, must issue
certificates payable on demand and accept
able for all dues. In other words, the
rest of us pay to the miner millions of
dollars for stuff that we already had in the
mine, and that did us just as much good
in that primitive condition as it can pos
sibly do us when made into coin and
stored away never again to see the light of
day. The dollar that can be used is the
only real dollar.
But it will be asked why the foregoing
We reply that it would, if the gold had in
a similar way to be piled up with no pos
sibility of ever using it. Unemployed sill
yer is dangerous because it involves
menace to the legitimate resources of the
nation. 1 mean by this, that the free
coming of the unlimited silver (which can
not be used) is to be paid for finally in
gold that can be used; and this pro-
cess necessarily will exhaust our supply of
gold if carried far enough. The more
gold that we spend in coming useless sill
yer, the less we shall have to meet our for
eign obligations and to hold our place in
the markets of the world. Step over to
Canada and try to pass one of our silver
dollars. 1t cannot be done without a
heavy discount. But you can pass a silver
certificate at par in the Canada banks or
anywhere else. Why's Because the latter
is promise to pay, which we must make
good in gold with neighboring nations if
they refuse our silver, or else we lose our
credit with them, which of course we can
not afford to do. H.

WOMAN A WINNER.

Women who go shopping and leave
things in stores will be interested in q
decision which has just been made by the
New York court of appeals. A woman
went into New York store to buy wrap.
She took off her cloak and laid it on the
counter in order to try on wrap. Hav-
ing selected and purchased garment she
proceeded to put on her cloak, but dis
covered that it was missing. 1t could not
be found, and she sued the shopkeepers
for its value. The judge of the district
court thought that they were liable and
gave the plaintiff a judgment for fifty dol
lars. The common pleas, general term,
first affirmed this Judgment, but after q
reargument reversed it. The case was
then appealed to the court of appeals.
That tribunal now reverses the second de-
cision of the common pleas and holds that
the shopkeepers were liable.
The court remarks that the defendants,
in effect, invite each lady who comes there
to buy cloak to remove the one she has
on and try the one they wish her to pur-
chase. The plaintiff accepted this invita-
ton and removed her wrap, but as she
could not hold it in her hands while she
tried on the other it was necessary for her
to lay it down somewhere. No place was
provided for that purpose. There was not
even chair in sight. She was neither
notified where to put it nor informed that
she must look out for it, as it would be at
her own risk whatever she did with it.
She put it in the only place that was avail
able unless she threw it on the floor. 1t
was the defendants legal duty to exercise
some care for their customers cloak.
This is pretty fine question. There
are careless women in this world, and 1t is
asking great deal of shopkeepers that
they look out for them. On the other hand
a woman who goes into store to buy a
new cloak ought to be able to get out with
out having the old one stolen from her.

The fact that Sitting Bull was what is

is more amusing than to read the accounts

medicine and the other doings of medicine

they came to this subject.
Every tribe had, and still has, many

all of whom are very important person

Egan, September 4th, that if govern
ment had been formed by the Congress
sional party, acceptable to the people,
he should recognize it and open COM
munication with its head. Today (the
7th inst.) the department received a
telegram from Egan stating that pro-
visional government had been estab-
lished on the 4th inst, with Jorge
Montt as president, and was universally
accepted by the people, and that he
(Egan) was in very cordial communica-
tion with it.

iner's Santiago correspondent, under
date of August Sth, reports an interview
with Balmaceda, then president of
Chile, in which the latter claimed that
foreign speculators, had more to do with
the disruption Of the government than
was generally known. and that a great
deal Of money had been advanced the
insurgents by foreign capitalists. He
refused to state whether United States
Minister Egan had expressed an opinion
as to whether the United States gov
ernment favored the Balmacedar gov
ernment or the insurgents, but said the
United States minister was very con-
servative man, and had chosen
to remain silent as to his own
sympathy in the matter. Balmaceda
expressed the opinion that the chastise-
ment Minister EgaE bad received from
the American press, was not merited,
and that theinsurgents were trying to
down" the latter, simply fol spite.
The interview was brief, as the cores
