THE TRUTH COMES 0UTINrHE ENr

In an article published last Friday
morning in both The Times and The Sun
on Democracy and the Negro" The Sun
pretended 10 quote from the Congress
sional Record. from speech made by
Mr.. Hooper. on April 9. 1872, the following
language:
Ernest Seyd, Of London. a distinguished
writer and buluonist, is now here and
has given great attention 10 the subject
OF mints and coinage. after examining
. the first drafts OF this bill made various
sensible suggestions which the committee
accepted and embodied in the bill"
This was In answer 10 the letter of Err
nest Seyd's son, which we had published,
In which the con said that Ernest Seyd
was never In the United States after 1856.
The statement quoted from Mr.. Hooper's
speech surprised US very much, but we
did not think that The Sun would mis-
quote record. and We did not. therefore
examine II 10 SEQ whether the quotation
was correct We do not intend row 10

Municipal Reform.

ROANOKE. VA, August 9.-Special.-
The city council, on recommendation of
the mayor, has reduced the police force
from sixteen to twelve men. a number
conceded to be wholly Inadequate for
the protection Of life and property. The
spirit OF reform has seized our Iegisla-
tors, but Ii Is a noticeable fact that
officials who draw high salaries have
not been touched. Great dlssatisfac, IN
exists on account of the retrenchment
policy OF the council being applied TO
the departments OF the city government
where Increased appropriations are most
needed.

LOosE AND GRACEFUL.

Perhaps nothing has undergone so COM
pete a revolution as has the tennis dress.
once It was simple and straight Of skirt
and was always topped with a loose,
full blouse. True. II might be frightened
by rows of braid or bits Of embroidery.
but for a long time IL remained sub
stantially the same
Soon the tennis girl began 10 deplore
the fullness Of the costume. She longed
10 see herself slender, with dress fitting
like n glove. Why couldn't she look
pretty there as well as on the yacht or
down by the shore? SO she threw ca.u-
ton and comfort to the winds and WELD
ed her racquet I'm dress that was often
drawn closely across the bust. with no
sign of trimming save the short jacket
or the fancy rever that fell over. Some
times she inserted a striped front in the
waist and had long bretelles brought
down at the sides. Always. she put big
puffs in the sleeves. II she wasn't COM
Portable, at least she was happy IN the
thought that she looked perfectly charm
Ing.
But some sensible girls, true lovers OF
the sport, have rebelled against the
tightening OF the comfortable blouse. and
have devised a costume not only thor
oughly comfortable. but one that can
lay claim to graceful lines. This dress
shows a skirt Of white serge. with four
rows Of stitching at the hem. A belt Of
white silk is knotted at the side, and
falls loosely I'm fringed streamers.
The blouse is OF foulard. dahla colored.
shirred into a yoke, and falling loosely
over the silk sash. The full pun OF the
sleeve causes a sufficiently slender effect
at the waist line.

This is the same place at which the

jury subsequently convicted Barker, hut
the judge OF the county court set as le

rotary has felt it his duty to redeem all
OF these presented with gold coin. which
has drained our Treasury of sis,oOo,ooo of
gold between May, 1892 and July. 1888,
while the Treasury lost between July,
1890. and July. 1893. from all causes (sil-

10000 Of gold coin.
This (Sherman) act directed the Secre-
tary TO coin 100000 a month until July
/, 1891, after which he was to coin as
much as he might think the public in
terests required. There were actually
coined under It s25,350,o95. There have
been purchased under 1t something like
10, 900 ounces, which would coin up
into about sl42 COO, 900 OF deprecated money.
All Of this bullion, except what was coin
ed into the s25. $50 095. is stocked up in the
Treasury as useless pig silver, the Gov
ernment having no necessity TO coin any
more, as II already has there some 1885,
100000 silver dollars. which no one will
take from It.
