Wesley Briggs Fined $40.

Wesley Briggs, charged with assault
ing and beating his wife, Bottle Briggs,
was arranged before Mayor Evans yes
terday morning. The prisoner was rep
resented by Mr.. Hoge. Several wit
nesses were examined, all women, who
saw the difficulty, and if their testimony
was correct, Briggs conduct toward his
wife was brutal in the extreme.
The trouble grew out of tho posses
sion of their child, about years Of age,
which the mother claimed on leaving
Briggs. Mr.. Hoge asked that Briggs
be let off with nominal fine, as he was
subjected to great provoca ton, and it
was natural for any father to have a
desire for the possession of his child.
The mayor fined Briggs $40 and placed
him under bond of $50 to keep the
peace for twelve months.

A NOVEL WAY OF STEALING.
Two Negroes Garry Note-Piliage Halls
When Left Alone.

xWo negroes Carry Note-P31lHgo Halls
When Left Alone.
Two negroes were plyaing shrewd
game in the southeastern portion OF the
city Sunday. They had note ad-
dressed in an almost illegible hand to
some unknown person. They stopped
at nearly every house, pretending to
find the person the note was for, or ask
Ing some of the inmates to read 1t for
them. Some times child would come
to the door,
They would send the note in, asking
IT 1t was for anyone present. No sooner
were they left alono at the door way
than one of them would pillage the hall,
stealing mats, overshoes and everything
they could get into their pockets or
under their coats.
They finally came to grief at the
residence of Ed. Peters, 52S Fourth
street. ~
One of the negroes remained at the
gate. The other was successful in his
scheme and pocketed pair Of over
shoes. Both started off.
Their operations had been observed
by Mr.. Greenwood, who lives just oppo-
site. Coming down the stairs he hailed
the negroes. AT first they seemed in
solent and appeared to pay no attention
to Mr.. Greenwood's demands to carry
the shoes back.
large stone was more effective APP
peal. They carried the shoes back and
then skipped. Mr. Greenwood docs not
know either of them.

observe that the movement toward
the Tree coinage of silver is branded us
essentially dishonest. II is alleged to
be an impudent attempt to pay u debt
of u dollar with n medium of but 50
cents in value. Nothing could be farther
from the truth. nothing more radically
erroneous in conception, or sophisticated
in statement. Let us look mt both sides
of the question. Values are founded
to-day upon diminishing gold basis.
This gives the creditor the benefit of a
steadily growing premium, while it lays
upon the debtor Il cumulative obligation
which grows with the fall of prices. the
contraction of the currency and the ex-
pansion of the money interest. If this
is so, then the movement for pallia-
tion of this irksOme condition is one
purely of self defense. for which there
is every moral and ethical justification.
The revolt against economic slavery is
as old as history, it has overturned ma
tions and will continue to do so despite
the supercilious sensiiivencss of
academicans There is no need to
emphasize. this aspect of the case 1t

the West and South of dishonorable
