JOSEPH +. MDoNALD. Run nells Sunday
morning for the first time of his total
abandonment of all hope of recovery.
His strength had shown a decided
break. and opiates were administered
in the evening to relieve the continuous
and painful hiccoughing. At o'clock
in the afternoon the communion
was partalSen of by him at the
hands of Rev. DR. NJ. L. Harris,
of the First Presbyterian church,
in the absence of his pastor, Rev.
Joseph Miiburn, of the Second church.
The elders of the latter church and the
immediate relatives participated in the
service. Senator McDonald's mind was
perfectly clear, and at the close he said
he desired the communion as a testi-
mony of his faith in Christ. He shook
hands with all present, and said that
now he would receive no more visitors.
Shortly afterward he fell into an un-
conscious state, in which he remained
till his death.
lJoseph Ewing Mcdonald was born in Butler
county. o., August %. 1919 and taken 10 Mont
gomery county Ind, in 1926. At the age OF IL
years. after a brief period in the village
schools he aprrent iced at the saddlers'
trade in Lafayette. While working at his
trade he studied law ana when he finished his
apprenticeship he prepared to enter

he entered the law office of Zebulon Beard at
Lafayette. The next year he was admitted TO
the bar. Before he received his license to
practice he was nominated for county prose
cutor and elected over his wing competitor
This was the first election by the PEG
pie of prosecuting attorneys. Later at the
first election when attorney generals of the
state were elected by the people, he was the
choice. As attorney general he served two
terms, and two years later was elected to con
gress. serving one term. In 1886 he was elected
attorney general of the state and reelected
in 1853. Declining for the third time he
resumed his law practice and the following
year moved TO Indianapolis. In 1854 he was his
party's candidate for governor and canvassed
the state in Joint debate with Morton. He
was defeated, but there was cast bigger vote
than had been cast the tw, years previous.
In 1873 he was elected TO the United States
senate lie failed to be his own successor
Benjamin Harrison being chosen.
In his private life Mr.. Mcdonald was at the
head OF one OF the largest law firms in Indian
apolis and one Of the three foremost at the In
diana bar. He was engaged in good many
prominent eases which have been tests as to
the constitutionality of the law. Personally
he was genial kindly and winning.
In speech he was forceful without
passion. There was no deceit in his compost
tion. lie was well known all over the country
and familiars spoke OF him as Joe" or Uncle
Joseph" He was married three times, two
sons surviving of the four children OF the first
marriage. The great part of Mr. McDonald's
life was his home life for he eminently a
home man.

New YORK, June 22-The national

lands, of Nevada, vice chairman; Lee
Crandall, of Washington, secretary, and
l.. NJ. Ramsay, of Missouri. Edwards
Pierrepont was unable to be present.
Senators Jones and Stewart, of Nevada,
were in consultation with the commit
tee during the sessions. Saturday even
ing the committee issued an address, in
which it says:
1.-The national silver committee desires to
call the attention of the country To the object
lesson which is being exhibited in the des-
perate struggle Of the great financial nstitu
tions on both sides of the Atlantic to in
crease the gold reserves to avoid bank
ruptcy and ruin, and to the fact that any
incre ase by one necessarily diminishes the
reserves of others. For eighteen years the
basis OF credit in gold-standard countries
ard has been extended and the production Of
gold fallen OF, while the structure OF credit
has been growing propOrtonately larger and
more insecure, until the relation OF credit to
actual money, as disclosed in the Barings
failure, in gold standard England has
alarmed che world and started the
scramble for gold that threatens
all business undertakings and stalks as a men
ace to every legitimate enterprise. The rem
edy is in the restoration % bimetalism. Place
our money system again upon the broad basis
of gold and silver as the money Of ultimate re-
demptiOn instead Of gold alone support the
credit system of the banks and the country by
both the metals under free and unlimited
coinage. A stable and not fiuctuating cur
rency is required by legitimate business. Who
can doubt that greater stability resides in
money coined from the metals automatically
regulated than in credit devices that to-day are
and to morrow may vanish:'
The committee says this is the para
mount issue in this country and should
be made such in the elections this year.
All other issues are involved in this
and cannot be separated from it.
