There is no middle ground be-
tween free silver coinage and the
demonetization of silver through
the unconditional repeal of the
Sherman act. Until we can get
the commercial world to estab-
lsih an international ratio Of
value between silver and gold ii
is bedlam- born finance to persist
in our present policy Of trying to
hold silver up by the tail until
the tail drops out.
United States Senator Lodge be-
iieves that the proposition for the
unconditional repeal Of the Sher-
man act would have the votes of
12O republicans in the house, but
to couple it with the proposition
for the repeal of the state bank
tax would lose its republican sup
port, as the Sherman law would
not cost the country so much as
would wildcat banking, which is
recalled as a period Of "locusts
and wild money" In the United
States senate ten or twelve free
silver republicans will vote against
the repeal of the Sherman act.
and it remains to be seen how
many of the democratic free silver
majority the administration will
be able to influence for repeal

SUSPENDS SILVER COINAGE.

Financial circles were some

by the announcement that the
government of India had sus
pended the coinage of silver. It is
not believed that the action has
been taken without express orders
from the British government.
which had general supervisor and
control over India affairs. The ex-
act meaning Of this movement is
not well understood, but at first
glance it would appear to be a
turn favorable to the project OF
an international coinage agree
ment. In TINS light it is viewed
with pleasure by the people of the
United States who are opposed to
too free coinage OF silver, while
no doubt it will also be made an
argument i'll favor Of unlimited
coinage. The effect of the move
ment was to run the market price
of silver down to he lowest notch
in the history Of that product.
Secretary Carlisle, upon reading
the dispatches, Immediately went
to the White House, and Tor near
ly two hours discussed the bear
iIgs Of the action with the presi-
dent. The conference was re-
newed at the presidents suburban
retreat later in the evening and
was protracted far into the night.

CHINESE MINISTER AND FAMILY.

The Chinese minister, Mr.. Tsui kwo Yin,
accredited also to Spain and Peru, has held
his post for four years MIR. Tsui has seemed
to care more for his studies than for the
frivolities of life, and has gone little into
society; although he has made many sweep
ing concessions to our manners and customs.
He is accompanied by his wife, and, con-
trary to all Celestial ideas and precedents,
Madame Tsui has conformed, in a measure,
to our foreign ways, by appearing frequently
in public. She was present at diploms tic
bal given by the minister, and has received
and returned few formal visits. Madame
Tsni has several ladies in her suite, and it is
very apparent that these Chinese gentle
women enjoy to the utmost their unwonted
liberty. Their social gayety is much re-
stricted, however, as they have the ban
laged feet of high-caste Chinese women,
but they seem to take great delight in slow
y traversing the pretty walks of Dupont
Circle, leaning for support on their plebeian,
broai-footed maids, and calmly and com.
fortably sitting in a row on the curb, for an
occasional rest, during their more extended
expeditions. The Chinese ladies have also
learned to enjoy the cooling drinks concocted
at neihboring drugstore, and in warm
weather are among the most frequent pat
rons of the soda water fountain. From

ANARCHY UNCLAIMED.

The announcement OF the par
don Of the Chicago anarchists, by
Gov. Atgeld, on the Goth, sent a
shudder over the country, and the
act will bring additional odium
upon the American system Of adj
ministring justice. The crime
for which these men were sent
to prison and for which number
of others were hanged, was COM
mitted in 1886, and attracted
world wide attention at the time.
In suppresslng a riot growing out
of strike of laborers the police
injured some of the participants.
The rioters then assembled TO de-
nounce the police, and while the
leaders were uttering the most
extreme anarchistic doctrines the
officers of the law undertook to
disperse the assemblage. The an
archists resisted and bomb was
thrown into the ranks Of the p0-
lice, when it exploded. wounding
| 66, seven of whom soon after
ward died from the wounds re-
ceived. The persons tried for the
crime were August Spies, Michael
Schwab,3 Samuel Fielden, Albert
r. Parsons, Adolph Fischer, Geo.
Engle,%- Louis Lingg and;Oscar W.
Neebe. OF these, all but Neebe
were found guilty and sentenced
to be hanged The jury fixed the
penalty in Neebe's case at Is
years imprisonment. Afterward
the sentences of Schwab and
Fielden were commuted to i'm
prisonment for life. Lingg COM
mitted suicide IN Jail the day be-
fore the appointed execution
Thus, only Spies, Parsons, Fischer
and Engle, were publicly exc,
cuted November II, 1887. Ii
was brought out during the trial
that all these men were members
of revolutionary organization
called the "International," the ob-
Iject of which was to introduce
anarchy.
The defense Of these men was
ably conducted, and the findings
of the court and jury were re
ceived with satisfaction by almost
all w-abiding citizens, although
there was an element which made
strong efforts in behalf of the &C
cused at the time and which has
not relaxed its endeavors since.
The main reasons given, by Gov.
Atgeld for his action in pardoning
these criminals are that the judge
before whom they were tried was
prejudiced, that the jury WAS
|"packed," and that the men We're
already sufficiently punished.
The facts do not justify this view.
The circumstances attending this
incident gives a prominent color
of truth to the statement that tle
governor bought his recent cleo
ton with the promise Of again
turning these blood thirsty villains
loose upon society.

THE GOODNESS OF THE WORLD.
No Arsenic Wanted After All, as the
Follow Wasn't Quite Ready.

Fellow Wasn't Quite Ready.
A Gisheveled man with green, CHASTITY
glare in his hollow, spectral eyes, dashed
into the corner drug store late last night,
apparently laboring under intense excite
ment. His bleeding fingers were tightly
clenched into his thin palms, and on his
forehead the great drops stood out chilly
and damp.
Staggering up to the prescription desk
he Missed i'll a sepulchral voice:
"Gimme me some arsenic, quick ~
Druggists are not in the habit of dis
pensing arsenic on demand like sugar
candy, so the clerk laid down his pestle
and laced about.
"What do you want with arsenic?n
said he.
Il want to kill myself" gurgled the
frenzied one, hanging desperatively over
the railing, with limp legs dragging on
the floor. Life hain't no charms for me
and l want to die! Gimme some arsenic,
quick ~
All right, mister" cheerfqlIy re
sponded the clerk. You shall have
your arsenic," and he turned to the shell.
The strangers knees caved in against
the counter with thump.
The druggist turned, nonchalently,
with a package IN his hand, and without
the slightest feeling in his careless voice,
went on:
ANY man that's big enough fool to
want to die hasn't any business living
and the sooner you shuttle off the better
it will be. Now, take this stuff. and take
it quick, so we can get your carcass out of
the shop in time to shut up tor the night.
And for goodness sake don't muss the
floor ~ said he, slapping the packet down
on the counter and turning back uncon-
cernedly to his work.
The fellow feebly shrunk away from
the little paper packet and his eyes
bulged with horror.
"Wh-wh-wh-what - he stammered
hoarsely. You wouldn't give teller
being arsenic to kill himself with ?''
Il wouldn't?" CALCULATED the druggist.
"I'd like to know why not? That's What

up and take it and go of and die -
