STEWARDS RESOLUTION.
The Senator Tells of His Investiga.
ton of the Silver Laws.

The Senator Tells of His Investiga.
ton Of the Silver Laws.
Senator Stewart of Nevada added
new feature to the silver question to-
day by the introduction of resolution
founded on the proposition that holders
of silver bullion are entitled under an
existing law, never repealed, so far as
the senator can ascertain. to free coin
age of silver. The resolution directs
the committee on the judiciary to in
quire if any further legislation is nee
essary to make it the duty of the proper
officials of the mint to receive and coin
silver bunion for the benefit of depos-
itors.
When asked today the meaning Of
his question Senator Stewart said: at
is provided that in the act of 1878 that
gold and silver brought to the mint for
coinage shall be received and coined
by the proper officers fol the benefit of
the depositors. There is no other mode
or manner provided for coinage in that
act. The bill and act of 1873 revives
the law of 1887 relating to the coinage
of silver bullion for the benefit of the
depositor. The requirement that the
officers of the mint shall coin silver
bullion for depositors as provided in
the act of 1887 is unequivocal. That
act makes it their duty to do so. The
act Of 1887 also prescribes the devices
and superscriptions to be impressed
upon the silver dollar. The officers of
the mint did not hesitate to follow that
act as to such devices and superscrip-
tons. Why they have not received
and coined silver as prescribed in the
act remains amystery. The omission
to enfore this provision of the law is
unaccountable. 1t appears 10 have
been overlooked by all parties. /, my
self. have hesitated to call attention to
this law, fearing that there might be
some provision repeating, suspending
or qualifying it. But have examined
the question with as much care as my
time would permit and fail to find any
repeal or modification of the statue.
The fact that the law of 1873 requires
the purchase and coinage of silver by
the secretary Of the treasury does not
modify the preceding requirement that
he shall also coin for depositors. But
before asserting on my own response
bilities that the law makes no discrim-
inatiOn as TO coinage between gold and
silver, l thought it best to submit the
question to the judiciary committee. l
shall be surprised il they don't find
that as matter Of law, it is the duty.
of the officers OF the mint to coin silver
bullion into standard silver dollars at
the ratio of l6 to l for the benefit Of
depositors.

statue that only the defendant can ask
for change Of venue.
The friends of Sam Wood vowed
vengence on Botkin if Brennan was
not convicted, they believing that Bot
kin was in completely. The people Of
the several counties rose up in rebellion
against his being judge and ask for
his resignation. This not being forth
coming they conspire to prevent his
holding court.
Our readers have the sequel, the
killing of Sheriff Dunn, and the calling
out of the state MALTA to quell the dis
turbance. If this. is not a case Of the
grUssest misrule, and the most shame
less partisanShip, we have no idea what
is. Following this the partisan press
endeavors to make out that the plotters
against Botkin's life is purely an in
stance of outlawry growing out Of
conspiracy chargeable to the alliance
and peoples party. How about Sam
Wood, an alliance leader killed by
chum and tool of Botkins.
Perhaps it will be replied that Sam
Wood was a leader of a band Of viola
tors of the law. All his life proves the
contrary. He was once kidnapped by
a Hugoton mob and was being taken
to the strip to be put out of the way,
He managed by ruse to get infOrma-
ton to his friends and was re-taken.
and his kidnappers made prisoners.
He took no revenge on these men other
than turning them over to the officers
of the law. He was counsel for the
prosecution of the murderers of Sheriff
Cross and roasted Brennan. q witness
for the defense at the trial ut Paris, Tex,
This Brennan was the man that killed
him. Hugoton men killed the sheriff's
posse who were Woodsdale men. Bren-
nan, Hugoton tough and friend Of
Botkin killed Sam Wood. These facts
show the law-abiding character Of
Wood and Woodsdale men and the
violence and outlawery of the opposi-
ton. The republican state administra-
ton must father Botkin and his abomi-
nable record.

They are busy in the pawn shop; it is
many minutes before l receive my

memory Of from whence it came, of the

carefully and go out into the storm.
