NArInNAIrINNNIES

National finances are in bad why.
The Cleveland administration, Whi'h
is plainly hostile to silver and leans
strongly toward gold mcnometalish'
despite the Democratic platform de-
claration. has followed the Republican
precedent of discriminating against
silver by paying all coin obligations oil
the Government in gold. Last Friday
all the gold in the Treasury IN excess
of the s1OO,OOOOn reserve for the re
demption Of greenbacks. was entirely
exhausted and the reserve its2ii trench
ed upon to the extent of three or tour
millions. This is the first time since
the resumption of specie payment that
the s1OOOOn.OOO reserve has been cut
into. counting in the subsidiary com rs
n mart of the available funds of the
Treasury.
The policy seems to he to play INTO
the hands of the monometallstS oil
Europe and Wall street and degrade
silver until it is finally dcmonetlZed.
Obligations of the government. which
on their face are declared payable Ill
U. s. coin leither gold or silver. ~ me
option ofHe government are uniform
ly paid in y0H coin at the option 81 me
money lords. and Secretary Carlisle dc
clares his intention of continuing this
policy if he has to still further trench
upon the 100000. 900 gold reserve.
We are told by the dispatches that
Assistant Treasury Jordan iast haiur
day morning issued invitations to
large number of New York Bankers to
meet With him for consultation. and
that at this meeting the financial stu
alton was thoroughly discussed. I'D 1t
was decided that the parity of gold
and silver must he maintained, and
that the government mist meet It's OBJ
legations in gold at any cost
1t was further practically decided
among the bankers that they would adj
vance no more gold to the Treasurer
without all invitation. and then not IL
large amount without IA boGd issue
In other words, the policy OF The
money sharks. into whose hands th'
administration is playing. IS to force
on the country one Of two alternatives
either the demOnetization OF silVef
or the issuance of more bonds a.
a basis on which to perpetuate the
National Bank monopoly if indeed 1t
does not contemplate the accomplish
ment of both objects at the same time
Meanwhile. there are daily rumors of
a financial crises and money panic and
a crash may come any day the money
lord lock up their safes and tap the
alarm bell. In short. Wall street Is
firmly in the saddle and running the fl.
nances of the government pretty much
to suit itself.
Verify, those poor deluded souls who
religiously believed the millennium
would be ushered in with the new
Democratic administration are not
realizing their rosy expectations

Judge Chrisman VIII Enforce the Law

Judge Christmas VIII Enforce the Law.
HAzLEHuRsT, April 2l.-Court add
journed here today. just before the
close about one hundred men, the sym
pathizing neighbors of Pet Tyson and
George Shields. the two white cappers
convicted during the term and SEN
fenced to the penitentiary for one year
each. by q committee, waited on Judge
Chrisman and requested new trial
for their friends. The interview was
held in the judges private room at the
hotel and lasted about an hour Ex-
actly what TRANSFERRED there is not
known. but there was good deal said
about his hOpor's plain speech apd
firmness by thr committee and sym
pathizers after the interview ended.
1t is known that he expressed the
opinion that the convicted men were
guilty. and that he not only refused
the application for new trial. but re-
fused bail pending their appeal TO tbs
Supreme Court. Judge Chrisman is
one of the most conscientious and at
the same time fearless judges in the
State, and nothing can swerve him
from the path of duty as he sees it.,
and the Just enforcement of the law
against all classes and colors alike.
On this account he has been "a terror
bench. White capism will certainly
find rough sailing in his district, and
in his efforts to crush it Judge Chris
man will have the sympathy and sup
port of all good citizens.
