Sherman has. 1t is a plain case
that somebody has, for no two con-
Trajectory propositions can both be
true !; they may both be false, but
they cannot both be true. Mrs.
Emery says the money of the coun-
try has been contracted John Sher-
man says it has not. According to
! Sherman'S statement, there is more
money in thee country now than
ever before. He says, "Our money
has increased nearly four fold,
while our population has only
doubled" Again, at has been
demonstrated by official documents
that from the beginning of the war
to this time the volume of the cur
rency has been increasing year by
year more rapidly than our popula-
ton" 1t may be true that John
Sherman's volume of currency has
been increasing year by year for
some time past, but the laboring
mans part has been growing dis
tressingly less year by year
| wish the senator would take
the pains to tell us how many fold
the volume of mortgages has in
creased since 1865, and why it is
that there is no record of the final
vote on the silver legislation of
congress in 1873 and 1874. Why
is it that there is no record of the
final vote i? Senator Sherman says
upon this subject, 1.-The silver dol
lar was, upon the petition of the
le legislature of California, and upon
the motion of her senators, and by
the unanimous vote of both houses
of congress, without objection from
any one, dropped from our
coinage, and in it's place was
substituted the trade dollar, con
tanning few more grains of silver"
lie further says, "By the act re-
vising the coinage in 1913, the sill
yer dollar, which had been suspend
ed by Jefferson in 1905, and prac-
tieally demonetized in 1885, and
suspended by minor coins in 1858,
and which was issued only in later
years as convenient form in which
to export silver" And thus it APP
pears, according to Senator Sher-
man, that the silver dollar, though
the unit of value, has been a kind
of football, as he says it was sus-
pended by Jefferson in 1905, and
practically demonetizsd in 1885,
and suspended by minor coins in
1858. The plea as to the minor
coins of 1853 was to make them
light weight in order to prevent
their being exported. If this was
all, why were they demonstrated in
all amounts over five dollars? 1t

had just finished reading John
Sherman's reply to Mrs. Emery.
1t seems that her little "Seven FL
nancial Conspiracies" is somewhat
annoying to the old man. Wall
street wants him in the senate to
further the base ends of home and
foreign capitalists. They are not
going to have as easy a walk-over
as they did from 1865 to 1878, for
the eyes of the people are being
opened to their true situation; and
this is Just what the leaders of both
old parties wish to prevent. They
know we'll enough that they cannot
impose on the people so easily as
they have heretofore done. But if
living, misrepresentation, false pre-
lenses and groundless political
preiudices, together with every
possible cunningly-devised subter-
fuge would bless people, surely
we ought to be blessed.

she had the external application IN her hand,
swallowed the dose which proved fatal.

sL|NEY ACCUSES TWO OTHERS.
He Hints that Lyons Was Killed
by His Brother James.

The police have added mystery to mystery
by suddenly becoming mum and mysterious
themselves about the murder OF Robert Lyon,
who was killed with a cleaver in his butcher
shop, 152 Cherry street, on Wednesday last.
lhe police yesterday professed to believe
that Mickey Sliney, the dead mans closest and
most intimate friend, whom they have under
arrest, committed the crime.
Acting Capt. Fitzgerald, OF the Madison
street station, reiterated that opinion this
morning, but declined to say whether his de-
tectives had discovered any new evidence to
strengthen that belief
Detective Stapleton was at work on the
case all night, and when asked whether he
could throw any new light on the murder
from his Investigations, said:
al can't tell you what found out but am
inclined to think Siiney is the murderer"
Did you trace the note To which Father
keans name was forged to Slineyr" asked
The reporter.
The detective would not answer that Qlies-
tion. The note Is the most important link I'm
the chain OF clrcumstantidi evidence against
Sliney, and II II can be proved that he wrote
II or had 1t written u strong case could be
made out against him.
Sliney promptly consented to write simi-
lar sentence to that contained IN the note,

The detectives have been trying to find out
II Sliney had -uch a note written by anyone,
but In their wisdom they prefer not to say
whether they have been successful.
But even II the ownership OF the note Is
flXed on Sliney-and in that case there will
be every indication that the crime was pre-
meditated-there is yet to be supplied mo-
tive for the crime.
sliney is more willing to talk than the de-
tectives, and he persists in his attempt To
cast suspicion on Lyons's mother and the
murdered mans brother James.

friendly. The old woman wanted Jim to have
the business, and Bob would not permit Jim
to come into the store OF late"

replied.
He has engaged Levy, Friend & House to
defend him.

Last evening, about 8 O'Clock, Gallagher
said he was called by a clerk In the drug store
there to arrest the old woman for being In
toxicated and creating disturbance.
Bystnnders who saw Gallagher arrest the
old woman, say that he kicked and prodded
her with his nighI-stick, and hnally struck a
blow with his fist full in the face, knocking
her to the ground
one witness, Charles Insley, correspondent
OF Chicago newspaper. was so tDcensed
that he followed the uficer and his prisoner
10 the Oak street station and Indignantly
protested against Gallaghers conduct. The
sergeant In charge told Mr.. 1nsley that he
couldn't interfere with this case after the
officer had made his charge against the old
woman"
Mary Kennedy presented sorry sight

eyes were bruised and blackcned, and the

The onlcer told his story, and he had a
