The advocate and Topeka tribune., 1892-08-17

gfe66ly eXCee0 IN &UlOunL oAbnSE bne pLO-
duction or consumption of any one year,
or Of scores of years, that the law can
control their relative value In the per-
Torrance Of the money function which
it confers on them. It Is the enormous
surplus of the precious metals over and
above the demand for them as Commodi-
ties which places 1t within the power Of
the law to control their relative values,
and the larger this surplus Is the more
exactly and permanently can the law con-
troll them. The view seems extreme and
untenabl9 that this power Of the law Ia
without limit, as, for instance, that 1t
could permanently make silver and gold
equal In value pound for pound. At
that rating, gold would be produced only
under exceptional circumstances, and the
gold in existence would rapidly leave
the colnsges for the the other uses, to
which it is essential, or pre-eminently
adapted.
Whenever the surplus stock Of the
undervalued metal should disappear, the
power Of the law 10 control Its value relR-
tive to the other metal would cease. The
demand for il in the arts would be su-
perior to the demand for it as money,
and would absorb the current 'produc-
tlon at higher than mint rates. But
whatever doubt may exist as to the
possibility of establishing an equivalency
between the metals Of one for one, or any
other extraordinary equivRlency, there
can be no doubt that the United States
alone could by law establish exactly and
permanently an equivalency between
them, which has practically wlthstood
the mutations and frlctlons of three CEN
turies Of time.
The use of the precious metals as
money Is as old as tradition, and there
can be no doubt that this use originated
in the universal estimation in which
these beautiful metals had always been
held and in the qualities Of durability,
dlvisiblllty and portability which fit them
for the monetary function. Nor can
there be any doubt that originally the
value Of gold and silver followed closely
the cost of their production, and that the
demand for them as commodities was the
controlling, but variable, force in regu-
lating their values. But when in the
progress of society large stocks Of the
metals had been accumulated and their
use as money had become established,
that use and demand which resulted from
1t became the controlling force in regu-
latlng the values. Demand and supply
are the sole factors out Of which ex-
changeable value arises. The demand
for gold and silver as commodities Is
limited and Huctuatlng, but when the
law invests them with the higher func-
ton of money and makes them the COM
mon denomlnator Of all values, that
limited and fluctusting demand is
changed to an unlimited and constant
one, which fixes their value for other
and inferior purposes.
The demand for the precious metals
as commodities Is believed by many to
be still essential to their general and ready
acceptance as money. II this is true, 1t
Is a misfortune. The happiness and pros
perlty Of the world, il not wholly depend
emit upon, are largely influenced by, the
steadiness Of the value Of money, which
cannot exist without steadiness in It's
volume. The demand for the precious

THE SCHMIDT MURDER.

The murder was one of the most
cold blooded that has occurred for a
long time. Mr.. Schmidt, with his
wife and child, had driven out into
his pasture just north of the town,
when Gallegos, who had been in hid
ing, came up from behind on horse
back and scared Schmidt's' horses so
they started to run. Schmidt jumped
out and was out Of sight of his wife
when shot, receiving two bullets.
He killed Gallegos' horse and the
murderer took to the mountains east
of town afoot. "A deputy sheriff
from Trinidad, with two blood
hounds, arrived at Wagon Mound
yesterday afternoon, accompanied by
Deputy Marshal Howe, of Ration.
The hounds easily found the trail,
which led into the mountains, but
the party had to return last night for
lack of water. The MexIcans had
stated that all avenues of escape
were guarded, but the posse found
no one on guard.
In addition to the parties from
here, Agapite Abeyta, jr., the sheriff
of Mora county, arrived this morn
ing with three men and started out
IN buggies to points where they think
they can head off Gallegos, but up to
late this afternoon no word had been
received of his capture.
L. p. Browne, Harry Kelly, DR..
Cunningham and L. G. Fort returned
last night, and Marshal Clay, Arthur
Jison, J. S. Duncan and Steve Glenn
came IN on an extra at 1890, III. ID
Brinker, of Watrous, accompanying
them as far as the latter place. Mar
shall Clay thinks that if Gallegos has
secured horse he will be able 10
make his escape, as it will be easy to
get help from many who know him
all through the country.

WELL DONE, CHIEF!

The action of the chief of police in
refusing to permit the "glove contest"
at a sporting club in this city last night
was eminently proper.
Such Contests" are not only against
the city ordinances, but are subversive
of the best interests of true sports.
The police, in this instance, had no
option in the matter, the city ordinances
being sufficiently explicit and manda-
tory TO warrant the action they took
without compelling them to take any
independent view of the matter.
The city would be better if these
"glove contests were never allowed
and the athletic club that is now en-
couraging them would be better off if
it ceased to do SO. They are really
prize fights. The device of naming them
glove contests" is as thin and unsub-
stantial as the gloves themselves.
The suppression of this fight is in the
line of the purifcation of the morals of
the city that the ministers are now striv-
ing for and it is to be hoped that it will
lead to the absolute prohibition of such
exhibitions of brutality.

the total vote by 3 por cent
With all the 'tidal wave" therefore, II
seems clear that the Democratic party
did not even hold its own, and the num-
Der of converts which it made to tariff
reform must be reckoned almost as q
minus quantity.
The Republican showing is decrease
of 265, ,29l votes. Part Of this decrease
can readily be traced to apathy, but by
far the larger portion will undoubtedly
be found among the votes cast Tor
Weaver. 1t is shameless fact for Re
publicans to bring home to themselves
that the negligence of the supposedly
most intelligent party was the sufficient
cause of its own defeat. The only con-
ISOLATION for the defeat, however, is that
the voters who deserted the party in
the West did not become Democrats
but accepted the principles OF Weaver.
Most of these may safely be counted
upon as Republicans next time.
The prize of victory justly belongs to
Mr.. Weaver. His vote of 1925, ,O6O II
the greatest achievement of the election
1t is an evidence of discomfort among
the Western agriculturalists which can
not be ignored at future elections.

LET WISDOM LEAD.

Now that the crusade against vice IN
the city appears to have entered upon a
stage of its progress that may fairly be
expected to lead to practical results 1t
is within the province Of every citizen
TO indulge the hope that the practical
results will be forthcoming.
Ii cannot be expected that there VIII
be quick abatement of all the evils that
are complained of, or that there will be
such a marked improvement In the
moral atmosphere of the city as will
render future work unnecessary. Such
expectation would be more vain and
foolish than the most crazy and sense
less raid that was ever organized by i'm
practical purists.
There is no municipality that would
not profit by earnest, honest and wisely
directed efforts of an organization of
citizens similar to that contemplated by
the leaders of the movement now IN
vogue here. There is plenty OF work,
always, for good citizens to undertake,
looking toward the betterment OF the
community, quite outside possible
sphere of the courts, civil government
and the police.
This fact has been pointed out before
by the News. 1t is apparent TO all,
and needs no statement, much less
elaboration. The whole question of the
success or failure of this present move
ment rests solely upon this point: Is it
designed to direct the labors of the
indicated? Il so, success and great
benefit to the city may be expected If
not, another failure, discredit to the
/ general cause of good morals, and the
intrenchment Of vice, will be the in
evitable result.
Now, at the outset of such work as
may be undertaken, the decision must
be made and the stand taken. The citi-
zens generally do not probably as yet
indulge in, much enthusiastic hope OF
great results, but they are all, we are
sure, in sympathy with the objects of the
movement and hope that vice may be
lessened through the efforts of the com
mittee.
The committee must not array itself
against the constituted authorities. Il
it does not feel that it can work in har
mony with the police, and through the
peliee, 80 far as the execution -ef-th'
laws is concerned, it would be far bet
ter to wait--and work, if need be--for {
change in police control and methods
than to proceed in antagonism to the po
lice. With all the cohorts of lawless
ness and the organized law-and-ordeI
forces fighting the police the city would
suffer more than it will by the continu
ance of vice as it is now.
Let the work done be good work
wisely planned, and it will be supported
let it be made into raid upon th'
authorities because they cannot reform
human nature in advance Of the mil
lenium, and it will come to naught, ol
worse than naught.

These figures give Mr.. Cleveland a
plurality of 39l ,379. Compared with
previous elections there has been no
president since Grants last election
over ~~eeley who has received such a
large popular plurality. Grants plur-
ality was 762, ,09l in total vote OF
only 4, ,431. .149. The total vote this yeaI
year is T., 2,02s, ,O0S, and Mr.. Cleveland
plurality is less than 3.3 per cent of the
total. Furthermore, the total as com
pared with that Of 1898 shows n gain o
