North American Review
The leading nations of the COM
snerci.l world, France excepted, refuse
TO use silver coin as money of ultimate
payment. Some of them, notably
England. do 80 ia pursuance Of law;
but the United States treats silver
coin ~ credit money. depending fer
its value upon promise of redemption
in gold, in violation of the law. The
law makes no discrimination between
tho coins of gold and silver, but all
a1minissrations OF the Treasury De-
partment since 1873 have discrimi-
mated against silver coin aud in favor
OF gold coin in the payment of ma
tional obligations.
No political party has openly defed
public opinion by a declaration that
silver ought to be treated a. a com.
modify aud gold coin alone used in
the payment Of national obligations.
Co the contrary, the Democratic
party, previous to the election of Mr..
Cleveland in 1884. uniformly declared
in its national platforms tina. silver
was honest money equally with gold :.
In 1880 the platform of tho national
Democratic party contained the fol-
lowing:
We pledge ourselves anew to honest
money, consisting Of gold aud silver,
and paper, convertible into coin on
demand.
In 1884 the NATIONAL platform of
the Dem ocratio party contained more
explicit language, AS follows:
We believe in honest money. the
gold and silver coinage of tho Consti-
tuition, and . circulating medium con.
vertib!e into suoh IN oney without loss.

February n, 1880 he attempted to
induce the Democratic party to sus-
pend the purchase aud coinage OF
silver under the Bland act, and
alleged. Is = reason, that gold coin
was the standard, and that q silv Ell
dollar was worth less than IS cents.
He disregardei the fact that he was
elected on q platform which declared
that silver coin Was honest money,
and that silver IS we'll IS gold was the
money Of the constitution. He said;
Silver and silver certificates have
displaced and are now displacing

SHOT HIS RIVAL.
William Ferguson Shoots Nor
man Pegins.

a Shooting affair occurred near the
Grocer Furnace yesterday afternoon
about o'clock, in which recent bride
and groom figured conspicuously. Two
eeks ago William Ferguson was mar
rled to Annie Black, who is plain.
simple girl, only Is years old. Tho first
week OF the honeymoon was spent seen
ingly without wave Of trouble to dis
turb the harmony and bliss of the happy
couple.
1t seems from what information could
be gained from Mrs. Ferguson's brother
that prior to the marriage of his sister
and VIM. Ferguson, one Norman Pc
ms was also sutton for tho hand of
his sister. but through tho influence Of
her father married Ferguson two weeks
ago. Two days ago she left him and
returned to her mothers. Friday night
Pegins came from Cloverdale mines,
where he had been at work, and at
once proceeded to the house of Mrs.
Black, where he always stops when in
the city.
Yesterday the deserted husband with
the truant wife and bring her
home. Before arriving at her mothers
he met his former rival and it was a
hail fellow we'll met, and the two
walked in toward Mrs. Blacks house
seemingly on the best of terms.
Pegins, according to his own state
ment, was drunk, while Ferguson was
apparently cool. On arriving at the
house the husband asked his wife to 90
homo With him, but she refused. Thon
Ferguson and Pegins became engaged
in friendly tustle in which the former
was dragged off tho porch. Pegins got
mad and attempted To fight Ferguson,
but was prevented by John Black, who
caught Pcgins and held him while Fer
guson took his gun and started away.
Pegins succeeded in releasing himself
from Blacks grasp and pursued his
fleeing rival with rock in his hand.
Fcrguson,sti fleeing, called back TO his
pursuer to stop, and when he failed to
obey he turned and fired st his legs, but
this failed to stop Pegins, and he turned
again and fired, striking Pegins in the
head and also in his hand, as he threw
it in front Of his face just as the gun
went off. Several small shot peppered
Pegins about tho head and face. but he
was not seriously injured. ferguson
went to the station house and give HIM
self up. he was locked in a cell pend
ing hearing.
Ferguson was released last night by
Justice Howerton on $50 bail.

BILL JACKSON ARRESTED.

Thought to be the Man Who Struck officer
Adams, of Ly nchburs.
8 Mayor Evans received communioa-
ton yesterday from the mayor of
Pocahontas, informing him that negro
named Bill Jackson had been arrested
at that place.
Jackson is wanted hero by the police.
About year ago he threw lighted
lamp at Lottie May, on Railroad avenue
and nearly killed her. jackson made
his escape, and this is the irst heard of
him.
In his communication to Mayor Evans,
the Pocahontas official stated that Jack
son had been fined $21.50 for the offenso
he had committed there, and that he
appeared to be very anxious to pay the
fine and get away. Several mem bers
OF the police force here are certain that
Jackson is the man who assaulted
Policeman Adams in Lynchburg last
week. His great haste TO get away
from Pocahontas is taken as an indica-
ton that this suspicion is true. Chief
of Police Jones has sent a warrant to
Pocahontas for Jackson's arrest on
the charge of assaulting Lottie MAY,
and he will probably be brought here in
Il few DAYS.

in last night by officer Eanes on a war
rant sworn out by an old man named j.

was sentenced to the city Jail for ono
year the other day, used some very des-

that he was up to some trick, and when
DR.. Buckner came in yesterday morn

He did so and prescribed a ball and

that the prescription was quickly filled.

GOVERNOR HoGo,s CLAIMS

Governor Hogg should stick to bold
assertions regarding intangible mat
ters when talking to the dear people.
In that style of argument he is facile
princeps. But when It comes to deal
Ing with tangible facts and an attempt
to base thereon logical argument, the
governor is simply not in it. When he
opened his canvas at Wills Point he de-
clared, among other things, that tax
able values had increased s74 200. 900
during the first year of his administra-
ton. The falsity of this statement was
easily shown, for the assessors' books
that show the first assessments made
after Hogg was inauguratcd had not
then, and have not yet, been footed up.
The s74,000,00O increase for which he
claimed credit was the increase durinr
the last year Of Ross administration,
ana the assessment showing 1t was
made In january, 1891, the month Gov
ernor Hogg was inaugurated, and the
credit, therefore, no more belongs to
MIN than to the governor who will be
inaugurated in 1895, Governor Hogg
mas also been claiming credit
Tor reducing taxation. The Twenty.
second legislature passed a bill
which provided that the state
tax should be reduced to l6l cents Tor
1871 and 10 cents thereafter. Gov
Hogg probably signed this law; he
certainly did not veto it, and so far
helped to reduce taxation. But what
made the members OF that legislature
mink 1t proper to reduce taxation?
Ihey saw that in view of the RAPIDLY
increasing taxable values, and the
economical administration OF the gov
ernment surplus would be created
that would needlessly pile money up in
'ne treasury James S. Hogg did help
TO make that law by not vetoing il.
nut mad the assessment rolls OF the
previous year shown no more increase
than hey dc for the first year Of his
administration and had the aupro-
Pr'a'ion Tor the two years previ-
Gus been as large as that made for the
Two years OF his administration, the
tax rate would not-could not--haye
Dsen reduced For, while the assess
ment rolls for the first year Of Hogg's
reign WA not foot up more than one
anu Il nan per cent the appropriation
made Tor the first two years of Hosg's
administration was 80 per cent more
man the appropriation for the last
Two years Of Gov. Ross administration.

appropriations made Tor these two adj

hy you decided it to him." Now all will
see that Col. Edmond's questions were
manifestly unfair. OF course he knew
that Col. Cameron had decided $40 acres
Of land to Waldo, when that gentleman
was traffic manager OF the Houston
and Texas Central, a road that made
Col Cameron rich, by allowing him spe-
cial rates on lumber, but we respect

Edmonds desired, Col. Edmonds
should have taken Col. Cameron
aside and privately propounded his

progressive Col. Cameron--even II they
