CARLISLE ON SILVER.

The Senator Favors Making the Owner
Pay for Coinage.
WASHING TON, Aug. Ex-senator Carlisle
has written Kentucky friend explaining
his position on silver. The first point the
senator makes plain is that he is not in fa.
vor of the owner of bullion-either gold
or silver-getting the seigniorage. He de-
clares the Bland bill as it passed the house
bill for the exclusive benefit of a few
bullion dealers and mining companies
just How the Senator Stands.
Ii defining his position briefly the sena-
tor says: Il am opposed to free coinage of
either gold or silver, but in favor of un.
limited coinage of both metals upon terms
of exact equality. No discrimination
should be made in favor of one metal and
against the other; nor should any discrim-
ination be made in favor of the
holders of either gold or silver bullion and
against the great body of the people who
own other kinds of property which is
further explained by the statement that
the man who owns the bullion where
there is no seigniorage, should pay for the
coinage.
frank Is But the Guinea's Stamp"
After indorsing the money plank in the
Democratic national platform. and declar-
ing that it means a silver dollar of equal
bullion value to the gold dollar, the sena-
tor proceeds: "Coinage adds nothing what
ever to the intrinsic value of the metal,
but only ascertains officially its weight
and fineness, putting il in a convenient
form for circulation and authenticates it
by the stamp of the government. The
United States has coined over S4OO, 600. 900
in silver since the passage of the act of
1878. but this has not added one cent to the
intrinsic value of the metal contained in
them; nor has the purchase and coinage
of this enormous mass of silver during a
period of years caused any increase in the
price of silver bullion. On the contrary
the price of silver bullion in all the mark.
cts of the world, in those countries where
there Is free coinage well as in those
where the mints are closed to silver. is
much lower now than it was in 1873
A Double Standard" not Possible,
Sixty-eight cents worth of silver and
one dollars worth of gold cannot both be
standards of value at the same time and
place, and this has been fully demon
strated by our own experience during the
last fourteen years; for although the silver
dollar has been all that time a full legal
tender under the statutes of the United
States everybody admits that we are still
on a gold basis and therefore the yalus of
paper in circulation is measured, not by
silver. but by gold" The only thing to be
done the senator says is either the coin
age in Ghe silver dollar of 100 cents worth
OF bullion or an international coinage
ratio.

the law against such practices had been
violated.
L. w. Russell, Liberal Unionist for
members elected by the foulest priestly
intimidation to criticise the conduct of
English electors. Home rule meant the
degradation of listers citizens, the de-
struction of religious liberty, the placing
of civil rights at the disposal of the
worlds most INSCRIPTIONS politicians;
the placing of commerce at the mercy OF
men who had ma de Tipperary howling
wilderness.
Tim Harrington Feels Uneasy.
Timothy Harrington, Parnellite for
Dublin Harbor, said that something in
the tone Gladstone's speech had caused
uneasiness among the Irish members, and
he warned the Liberals that the home
rule question must be attended to without
delay. 1t was not matter for trimming
or temporizing, but immediate and un-
eQuivocal action.
No Ecclesiastical Domination.
Colonel SaunderSon, conservative fol
North Armagh, spoke as to the results
which would follow the inauguration of
home rule. He contended that the Irish
party was controlled by Archbishop
Walsh.
VIM. Redmond, Parnellite for East
Clare, replied to Saunderson and ridiculed
the latter's remarks to ecclesiastie
domination of Irish politics An Irish
parliament, he said, would be as free from
priestly interference as was the house of
commons. The debate was then adjourned.

Balfour replied to Gladstone and put
forth all his powers of sarcasm. He taunt-
ed Gladstone with describing his Irish pol

TALLY immoral. England was a partner of
Ireland in the union, and certainly had a
right to a hearing in regard to the pro-
posed dissolution of the union. The in
coming government must decide the mean
ing of the phrase used by Gladstone about
administering law in Ireland in sympathy
with the opinions of the community
wheth her it would mean the release of the
dynamiters and whether it would mean
the restoration, in defiance of the legal
rights of property, of 5000 evicted Irish
tenants.
Cheers and Counter Cheers.
The incoming ministry might possess a
majority, but they would be the slaves of
their Irish supporters. Therefore they

terrupted by loud Liberal and Irish cheersl

--[loud and defiant Tory and Liberal
Unionist cheers.] The victorious party,
Balfour continued, looked to the future
with perplexity and dismay. He, Balfour,
believed that the British electors had re-
turned many Liberals under a delusion
and misapprehension. They intended
that their candidates should deal with
domestic legislation, and when they found
out their mistake they would turn again
to the party able and willing to frame
laws worthy of the genuine destinies of
the great empire.

CoPENHAGEN, Aug. lO.-Ryder, the Amer
lean consul who is under charge of misap-
propriating funds, is in a feeble condition.
His wife, who was arrested with him, is a
pretty woman of only 19. She was sub
jected to questioning at Ryder's request,
and made statements to shield him which
were considered by the authorities to be
plainly false. This led to her arrest. Since
then she has been questioned several times,
and has made contradictory replies Her
position excites public sympathy. But
there is little feeling shown on Ry der's

HOW a YOUNG DOCTOR BECAME
CHIEF JUSTICE.
An Illustrious New Notwithstanding What
Young Boy with Determination Can
Do-How He Got an Education.

1t is saying Of those who give advice to
the young that having chosen profession 1t
should be persevered in until success comes.
Yet there are some Illustrations which show
that this rule is not always good one for
young persons just beginning life to follow;
and the experience of u man who became q
distinguished chief justice Of the highest court
in his state and who came very re-.
ceiving n nomination for the presidency from
one of the great parties may be cited as an
interesting exception to the rule.
About fifty years ago n lad living In the
western part of New York state believed that
he had peculiar ability such as would make
him a successful country doctor. But he was
very poor. His father was not able to give
him much of an education, and the boy very
early in life was compelled to support himself
by teaching school, for which he received $50
a month and his board with different farmers
in the vicinity.
After he had collected about one hundred
dollars the young man thought that he had
