Tried the Gold Brick Same.

Macon, Mo-, Sept. 21.--SamueI
Thorn, wealthy farmer of Linr
county, aged 20, came over here
yesterday with a man giving bis
name as Geo. Benson, from whom
he was negotiating the purchase of a
gold brick and an interest in a gold
mine in Arizona. Benson had the
brick tested, and it turned out well
enough to induce Thorn to send
home for $400 to purchase it with.
When the messenger reached Lin.
neus and informed Thorn's folks
what he went for they suspected a
trick, and sent the City Marshal
over to look into the matter and ar.
rest Benson. The messenger re.
fused to return with the officers
saying he was afraid of Benson s
partner, whom Benson represented
to be a particularly wild and blood
thirsty Mexican. Benson met the
train this morning and, seeing the
officers instead of the man who Weni
after the money, boarded it and
left, and has not been heard Of
since. The Marshal could not ar
rest him at the depot, as he had nc
one to identity him.

SENATOR MILLS.
He Speaks in Favor of Unconditional
Repeal Of the Sherman Law.

The St. Louis Republic, in refer
ring to Senator Mills speech on sill
yer, says: 'He proved, however,
that prices were always higher when
the currency was stable, steady and
fixed, rather than when it was un-
certain, liable to be in paper or de-
preciated currency, and that busi-
ness always revived and prices al
ways increased when the currency
was absolutely steady and irrevoca-
BILE.
Mr.. Mills did not move an inch
from his old position as to free.coin-
age and being a bimetallist. He
elucidated free coinage and bimet-
allism with singular skill and abili-
ty. He did not believe that the
United States alone could maintain
free and unlimited coinage of sill
yer, and he cast his lot with the men
who are unreservedly in favor of the
repeal of the Sherman law as the
greatest obstruction to bimetallism
that now confronts the Congress of
the United States.
He did not, however, feel that as
a Senator from the State of Texas it
was any part of his duty to make
the products of the mines of Colo
RADIO and Nevada more profitable at
the expense of the rest of the peo,
pie of the country. He did not see
how his people in Texas could be
improved by increasing the prices of
silver to the mine owners of Colo
RADIO and Nevada. He admitted
; that he would be more generous and
kindly to the miners of those states
than the Senators and Representa-
tives of Nevada and Colorado in
Congress were to his people who
never failed to vote for a protective
tariff in order to sell their products
in the most profitable markets and
| buy their necessaries in the cheap
est markets.
In conclusion Mr.. Mills said he
would vote to repeal the Sherman
law and against every amendment
which the ingenuity of the human
! mind could conceive. No amend
ment could be offered to the bill, ex-
cept one which impeached the good
| faith of the President, and that be
! did not intend to do. He was free
coinage man, a bimetallist, but
would not follow a bimetallic flag
into monometallic camp. He
would close his remarks on this oc'
casion with the sentence which John
Adams began his famous speech
"Sink or swim; live or die; survive
or perish; | give my heart and my
hand to this vote.

THERE should be way to compel
the constant attendance OF quorum
of Democrats when the House is In
session, and if it isn't put in opera
ton there should be some new men
,1shed to the front as leaders.
With the present large majority In
the House there is no excuse for the
absence of Democratic quorum
even for a single hour. A very
simple and effective way to keel
members in their seats is to publish
the names of those absent without
