PERJURERS AND LIARS.

In the United States court In this city,
day before yesterday, three men were
sentenced to the penitentiary for perju-
nv. One of them had a family and a
home where his affections centered, now
rendered desolate by his absence and dis
grace; each man committed crime,
which was a deviation from the strict
lines of truth and which violated every
where in the everyday world, it is hard
to impress upon the victim, is heinous
crime in the court room. Men lie in
high places; political contracts are not
considered sacred: oral agreements in
commercial marts are considered unsafe
and written and subscribed articles in
sisted upon; even the sanctity of the
marriage VOW is treated with levity now
a days and the contracting parties prom
Use in solemn covenent number of spec
flied duties that they do not take the
trouble to understand and if they did,
would utterly refuse 10 abide by.
In every line in the busy world, this
same leniency towards departure from
the truth is extended. 1t is little wonder,
then, that the perjurer refuses to regard
his fault a crime or his sentence Just.
! Again great many people hold the
! enginery and course of the United States
courts as a moderized edition of Judge
| Jeffreys assizes or veneered pattern of
! EoQuier- Tmville's revolutionary tribunal.
They say that 1t is organized to convict
/ and in its zeal, it becomes tyrannous, if
not bloodthirsty. They claim that a man
may perjure for the government in
safety, but let him swear falsely for the
defense, and he is snapped up short by
the prosecution and clapped intoprison.
! This, they argue, is not justice; is not an
Iron-bound sense of datious fulfill
mens of the statutes, but a
cruel appetite for conviction
that infects all the United States courts.
/ In all this, is there not vet grain of
reason: Still we must look at il in
another way. Grant that the world is

given to falsehood. This granted, and

The presidential situation in the Re-
publican party is unique in its way. As
the Philadelphia Press observes, it has
not been paralleled since the party came
into existence and made itself felt as a
force in national politics. The party is
approaching its national convention with
practically only one candidate IN the
field and a substantial unanimity IN the
wisdom of nominating him. No candi-
date for the Republican presidential re-
nomination has had so little opposition
to contend with as President Harrison.
When it was proposed to renominate
President Lincoln and President Grant
there was a formidable bolt from the
Republican party, but the opposition to
President Harrison has taken no more
vigorous form than local boom for
some favorite son.

If the free coinage of silver were not
practically dead issue as to legislation
upon it by the present congress the state
ment of Mr.. Tupp. the financial officer
of the English Indian government, ia re-
gard to the attitude of the English gov
eminent towards silver would afford the
advocates of free coinage over here
strong argument in the Eature of senti-
ment. Mr.. Tupp accuses the English
government with being responsible for
the failure of the American and French
governments to remonetize silver, and
by reason of this failure, the imperial
government is made responsible for
grievous and unjust burden being placed
upon its Indian dependency in the shape
of a heavy discount imposed by the
crown upon midas deprecated silver,
in which currency the latteris compelled
to pay its tribute to the former. But
this is all lost to the free coinage advo-
Gates here. for if it could be made rele-
want the issue is dead.

The Wichita EAGLE and other south
western Kansas papers may say what they
like about it, the fact remains never6he-
less. that the Anthony scheme to play into
the hands of few jobbers in the interior
towns at the expense of the Missouri river
iobbers is an iudefensible outrage which
the people of Kansas will not neglect to
resent at the proper time.-Atchlson
Champion.
The esteemed Champion is suffering
from tantaiizing strabismus. "The peo-
pie of Kansas" who are outraged" by
the commissioners orders, are couple
of citizens of Atchison, one of whom has,
since the order complained of was issued,
moved to Missouri town with his busi-
ness, and the other finds his trade in
other states than Kansas, mainly. The
Outrage" of forbidding the railroads OF
the state from discriminating against the
balance of the state in favor of the two
mentioned is the sin charged against the
commissioners, but the state will not
condemn them for the "sin.

COLONEL JoeELYN TO "s.'

To the Editor OF the Eagle
Yonr correspondent So expresses
himself as desiring, and indeed he seems
much in want of, information on the
monetary question.
The report of the Quilted States none
tary commission of 1877, after demone-
tization and pending assumptions very
exhaustive of the subject and would per
haps enlighten him to some extent.
The speech of Ryan on the floor OF the
house, February %, 1873; of ex-senator
Plumb June 6, 1890, and January Z and
u, 1891, would very likely surprise him,
as would also the speeches of Senator
Stewart. [ recommend especially the
speech of Senator Jones, May II and 10,
1890. in the senate as a complete COM
pendum OF the whole question.
When your Mr.. S has read these mat
tiers of record he will probably have dis
covered that what he did not know about
economic and financial questions would
make quite large volume.
