London, Aug. 1.-THE story OF the native
rioting and the massacre in Bombay
printed widely throughout the prov
inces. and created much stir wherever 1t was
read. especially among those who have relatives
friends in the Indian city. An inquiry made as
to the origin of the story shows that II emanated
from Government official who privately supplied
a agency with the alleged facts, declaring
that they were contained in dispatch received by
the Government yesterday from Bombay asking
for instructions to the course the authorities
there follow. The Government Will neither
confirm deny the story. The Government
official who gave the story has heretofore fur
nished trustworthy information to the press
A dispatch from Bombay says that. although
there has been renewal Of the rioting IN that
city to-day, confidence has not yet been fuly re-
stored The shops closed, and every tram
leaving the city is filed with families carrying
their personal effects who are returning to their
native districts with a view to securing safety
in the event of general trouble. The working
people refuse to resume their occupations untll

Toe the Line.
4. G. Shinn, in The Advocate.

A. G. Shinn, in The Advocate.
During the war saw northern
''school ma'am" lnstructing class OF
barefooted colored children, and if any
OF them did not stand properly in the
class and "toe the line" she would rap
them on the toes with ball on the end
of switch. So now in the political
world, the stern logic of events is mas
ter Of ceremonies, and says to all, ''toe
the line" in favor of free bi-metallic
coinage, with national notes for the cur
rency, and as consequence the safety,
the perpetuty of our institutions as the
result; or "toe the line" on the side of
the single gold standard, with "wildcat"
or fred dog" notes for currency, with
wealth and power for the Office holding
class, and the bond and annuitant to
receive an ever increasing amount on
Their bonds and annuities, with poverty
and crime ever on the increase, until the
final overthrow comes, as come it must
under such course Of events, or else
the doctrine taught in our Declaration
of Independence is false where it SAYS:
1--WE hold these truths to be self evident,
that all men are created equal, that they
are endowed by their Creator with GER
tain inalienable rights" --and if by
their Creator, no set of men making
laws for to-day have right to bargain
away the prosperity, the happiness Of
the people of the next generation. So
"toe the line" you who believe in free
coinage, in spite of what Harrison said,
or what Cleveland said or may say.
"Toe the line" for free coinage, and do
not, for some petty Office, bow down to
Cleveland, who is now the head and
front Of the "gold.bug power" Not a
free coinage man in Oleveland's cabinet,
but all chosen vassals of the money
power" He (Cleveland) is now at the
head of the combined forces of the "gold
men" of both the republican and demo-
cratic parties, the very force, the very
power that all free coinage men have to
fight; and for one 1 am glad he makes
it so plain and rsps 80 hard on the
"bare toes" that all have got to get on
one line or the other. mo man can
serve two masters"

A BILL has been introduced in the
Minnesota Senate prohibiting the
preference of one precious metal over
another in the making of contracts.
The Kansas House has passed a
bill of the same kind. 1t is rather
more than doubtful whether any such
attempt to abridge the right Of pri-
vate contract would be sustained by
the courts, But If it should be the
people of the States indulging in this
sort of legislation would suffer more
than anybody else. OF course, such
legislation could not affect existing
debts, for no State can pass a valid
law impairing the obligation Of con-
tracts In regard to future contracts
it is only necessary to say that no
man of sense, with money to loan,
would lend dollar in a State having
such an enactment on its statute
books, No law can compel anybody
to lend dollar unless he chooses to
lend it. There are some things that
legislatures cannot do, and this is one
of them.
