Senator Jones. of Nevada, who is rank
ed among the ablest advocates OF the
free coinage of silver, says he does not
believe that the Sherman Silver law can
be repealed at the coming session OF Con-
gress, unless an agreement be reached
upon q substitute that will add an equal
or larger amount Of money to that in
circulation. He thinks the greatest panic
this country has ever seen would follow
it's repeal without providing something to
take it's place. He also thinks the pres
emit financial troubles should be an OBJ
iect lesson to the whole world which
ought to bear good fruits.

future delivery, through them, for S2o,-

The defense was that the whole transac-
ton was but series Of wasers and there

SENATOR sHERMAN'S UNsC
FINANCE.
UNSOUND

Senator John Sherman says In his let
ter TO Congressman Walker, OF Massa-
chusetts. provisions should be made for
full legal tender OF United States notes,
supported by reserves OF both gold and
silver and backed by the credit and
wealth of the United States"
The sole power OF Congress to issue
notes. which are to be legal tender for
debt, is found in the provision Of the Con-
stitution which provides that Congress
shall have power TO coin money and reg
ulate the value thereof" When the right
Of Congress to issue legal tender notes
was challenged. directly after the war,
the Supreme Court Of the United States
consisted Of seven judges. It decided by
the vote Of four TO three that Congress
had no such power Thereupon the Re
publican Congress passed an act provid-
ing that the Supreme Court should there
after consist OF nine Judges, and General
Grant appointed to it two judges who
were known 10 be "greenbackers," and
the court reversed it's previous decision
by a vote Of five to four. Thus It has
come about that Congress is held TO have
power to issue legal tender notes. Mr.
Sherman was one OF the Republican polti-
clans who debauched the Supreme Court
and placed this everlasting stigma upon
our Government, and. as a matter Of
course, he stands up for the socialistic
doctrine which he thus took part in
Incorporating into the theory Of our
Government. But is it not time that
honest men, who have their countrys
welfare at heart. should spurn aside
principle OF government grated on our
Constitution by such dishonest and in
famous measure as this? Is it not time
that we were returning to the old land
marks and combining the Government to
its true limits, leaving the citizen 10 go

control OF his local authorities to work

Last year foulard was the only cry
that went up from all womankind. Paris
echoed and re-echoed with It. We heard
Of wonderful shades and patterns. OF

ard on almost every woman we met
for last year we were more Partisan than

rather more Of late. We were true de-
voices OF the beautiful material and
obediently donned it whenever occasion
allowed.
But a season OF IL was enough. This
year we looked for a new appearing
We found refreshment in the beautiful
glaces. and taffetas. and sunrise and
rainbow silks. Paris, however. is faith
full to her old love, and still brings II
forth on occasions. She occasionally
sends a foulard over 10 our shores, amid
the wealth of other gowns that carry
with them the delicious frou frou so
dear to a Frenchwoman's heart.
This one Isn't all fouard however.
A compromise between the old and the
new is effected by the addition Of
little dahlia colored taffeta.
The lightly lowered foulard appears
In the upper and deep hounce of the
skirt. The four rufiles below are al
ternated taffeta and fousrd. The same
design is observed in the bodice, where
there are again four alterations. The
plated lace collar comes first. the dahlla
taffeta bertha falls beneath, over the

the belt by the broad taffeta band.

NEW YORK ANARCHISTS.

The anarchists OF New York had a good
time a day or two ago. meeting at the
| Windsor Theatre and denounclng
the Government, the police and
property-holdcrs in general but
they did not dare do more than talk.
Had they attempted to carry their
words into effect policemen were present
to take them in charge and permit them
to brood in a quiet Jail over the troubles
| brought upon themselves by trying TO
| live without working
The kind Of stuff which these gentry
INDUCED in Is shown by the statement
that "the working class OF America work
harder, sweat fiercer, have less to eat
and to wear, obtain fewer rewards for
their toll and come sooner to the end
Of their prosecuted and wretched lives
than any other class Of workers on the
face Of the earth" There is not n work
man, even the humblest In America who
does not know that such stuff as this
Is the veriest nonsense. II has long been
the boast that all classes of American
workmen are better paid than any other
In the world and while this is not true
as far as British workmen are concerned
because, though an American workman
gets more dollars and cents than his
British brother, the money OF the latter
has. on account of our high protective
tariff, greater purchasing power, still our
working classes have better opportuni-
ties for good living and the pursuit Of
happiness than any other such classes in
Great Britain or elsewhere. These New
York Anarchists were, therefore talking
to hear themselves talk They pow
vowed and made a big fuss generally,
and then adjourned, but the eyes Of the
policemen present were on them all the
time. and they all dispersed as quietly
as II they were the most law-abiding
people in the world.
All this illustrates the greatness Of this
great country. The Anarchists could talk
as freely as If they were carrying
on a religious meeting. ind no one made
any effort TO disturb them. So long as
they stuck TO talking there was no danger
Of their being interfered with. and they
might have yelled themselves hoarse
denouncing the people. the Govern
ment, the country. and even the Presi-
dent himself. without molestation, but
had they moved one little finger towards
putting their incendary words into action,
had they lighted one match or made a
single motion to burn house or destroy
any property whatever. in a second they
would have found themselves firmly
clutched by the hands Of the law.
This is. indeed. a free country, where
talk is cheap, but where the slightest
infraction Of the law is met with prompt
penalty. This these Anarchists have good
reason to know when they recall the
hanging OF several Of their members
few years ago in Chicago That ought
to teach them that in this Federal le-
public Of ours liberty does not mean
license. and that crime and punishment
go hand in hand tog athar.

1t will be easily remembered that
short time ago a negro. who had COM
mitted crime, was lynched
in Decatur. Macon county, ILL
nois. and the grand jury failed TO find
indictments against any Of the lynchers.
This has led the Chicago Herald to say:
THE people OF Macon county in deal
ing with this lynching have simply looked
beyond the work OF the mob 10 the crime
charged and proved, though not in formal
and legal way. against the negro. While
they disapprove OF the mobs action they
more emphatically disapprove of the
fiendlshness Of which they be-
heve the negro to have been
guilty They cannot escape the
conclusion that his punishment was
no worse than II should have been, and
believing this. they refuse to enforce the
law against the men who dragged him to
his death. Ii powerfully demonstrates a
fact which many people frequently ignore.
that no law is capable Of enforcement un-
less It Is backed by vigorous public
sentiment"
