The charge Of an assault with deadly
weapon against king" Frank McManus,
the boarding house keeper of the Potrero,
accused of having struck Michael Burke
with p coffee-cup, was dismissed BY Judge
Morley Yesterday. Several charges of bat
terry preferred by b0arders are still pending
against the "uncrowned monarch OF the Po-
trero." The testimony in the felony case
was so conflicting as to leave it in doubt
whether a Jury would ever convict.

A GOOD IDEA,

There has been much talk during the
last year or two about the fairness or un-
fairness of certain proposed financial
legislation. Edward Atkinson, who is a
very ingenious man, comes forward with
a suggestion which is we'll worth atten-
ton. He proposes that all contracts, not
otherwise provided for, be made payable
in gold, but that if anyone chooses he
can make his obligations payable in silver
and dispose of them at market rates.
Next, he would open the mints to the free
coinage of silver, because all that the
government stamp on piece of silver
amounts to is statement that there are
SO many grains of metal and alloy within
its circumference. This would put an end
at once to the present absurd and dan
gerous practice of purchasing couple
of hundred tons of metal a month and is
suing government notes to pay for them.
The silver mine owners would then have
to persuade their creditors to accept silver
in payment of their debts, and these cred
itors can be trusted to look out for their
own interests without any lntermeddling
on the part of the central government.
This is one of the best ideas that the
whole financial discussion has brought
forth. But we do not believe it will find
much acceptance among those who are
known as the friends of silver. What they
want is some scheme that will give them
something.

Insurance Commissioner Fyler of this
State has raised breeze by his remarks
concerning fraternal insurance. He points
out that large number of associations
and societies, organized under authority
of laws of other States, claim immunity
from State supervision on the ground that
they are fraternal or secret societies. The
State is flooded with companies and socie-
ties of this character Their literature is
is sown broadcast over the State. In their
eagerness to eutbid each other for bust
ness, they make the most extravagant
promises, offers of free membership and
cash donations in addition, are made to
those who will aid in the Or
ganization of lodges or societies.
Many of these organizations have an en-
dowment insurance prominent among
their projects of promising the impossible.
However worthless the promise and GER
tain the utter inability of the association
to fulfil it's pledge, it finds sufficient pa
tronage at the hands of an unsuspecting
public to render it's operations profitable,
and to pay satisfactory salaries to its pro-
moters.
There is great deal more truth than po-
etry in this, as many of the Ensured" will
ultimately discover. In other States, as
we have noted, steps have been or are be-
ing taken to place such societies under the
supervision of the State authorities. It
should be done in Connecticut.

ham, little hamlet three miles up the
/ Wharfe from Ilkley.
'Oh, 1 thought had a capital sermon
/ though" Mr.. Collyer once said to me.
'It was in three parts, each, of course, es-
| sential to the others. They didn't allow
fellow paper in those days, other. Their
/, curious eyes were all wide open; and 1
thought 1 had done splendidly. But half
way back to Ilkley i suddenly remembered
had left the secondly out entirely. l
was quite overwhelmed about it. But the
joke of it all was that had bodily stolen
| my secondly from fine sermon preached
by good Presbyterian brother named Nc
Chine. l felt the weight of that judg
ment on me so heavily that I have never
stolen sermon since"
Then they must hear him at nkley. All
the boys and girls were there; and the
young blacksmith thought he had made a
great impression. While this was glowing
in his mind on his way to the forge the
next morning, the old village cobbler
called out to him from where he was ham
| mering away underneath his porch:
. 81 say, lad, come here; l ha' summat to
| say to We. l heard thaa preach last night"
| There was broad grin on his face
Did ye, though" returned the black
| smith proudly.
''I did; and think thol'lt ne'er max
preacher as long as thaa lives, Boab!"
He was stunned by this, for the cobbler
was the village oracle. The latter saw
| how sorely he he'd hurt him and kind
| heartedly added: ''Now, doan't mistake
me, Boab. Thou wants to reason too
much. Thou may'st lecture; but thaa can
never be preacher"
When you stand by the ancient church
of All Saints, and look in upon its mossy
graves and the Runic crosses, your hands
will grasp the bars of its huge iron gates.
They We're forged on ''owd Jackie's" anvil
| by this same stout-hearted yorkshire
| Blacksmith" And somehow as one turns
| away from Ilkley, the feeling comes
! strongly that there was wrought into these
rods and bars herO-grit more impressive
I and imperishable than is revealed in all
/ other monuments or tokens left in Wharfe
dale since the days when the Romans trod
these pleasant ways.
