RESPONSIBILITY OF THE ADMINISTRATION.

A few days since the New York Times.
under the Sherman law we are buying
silver bullion with gold" This is not
true. and no good can come to the cause
OF sound money by misrepresentation.
The silver bullion is purchased with
coin notes, SD that. at the time of the
purchase, a ten-dollar coin certificate
has ten gold dollars worth of silver
bullion behind it. The coin notes are
redeemable in gold or silver, at the OPP
ton of the Secretary of the Treasury.
At the present time, about $115,000,000
of these coin certificates have been
issued In purchase of silver bullion.
The balance of trade being against the
United States, gold must be obtained to
send to London to pay that balance.
The coin certificates are more
easily reached than any other pa
per upon which gold can be
demanded. If any more gold is
being drawn from the treasury reserve
by the use of the coin notes provided
for by the Sherman act, it is due to the
fact that the President, his Secretary
and his organs have assailed them in q
manner which has caused timid people
to take them to the sub treasury for gold
which they have boarded in fear of the
predictions of the administration that
continuing the sherman act will force
the country to q silver basis. Ii Secre-
tary Carlisle should say to those people
who are taking those notes to the sub
treasury to get gold that they must take
a certain portion of their specie in sill
yer fewer of them would be presented.
Another point: If those who are raIding
the gold reserve of the treasury had not
the coin notes, they could use the $780,
100000 of Rreenbacks outstanding for
the same purpose. Ii Mr.. Cleveland and
Rreenback rather than the coin notes
of the Sherman act it is proba.
bic that they would have been collected
and taken to the sub-treasury to ex-
change for the gold reserve which was
originally created for their redemption.
mere Ia the same objection To the green
back as raider upon the treasury gold
as to the coin certificate. only there are
three times as many greenbacks rs cer-/
tificates. As o matter of fact, the coin
certificate is safer money because
there is nearly gold dollars worth of
silver bullion behind every dollar of
certificates, while if the gold reserve
we're intact there would be only $780,
100000 of gold to redeem $S46. 000,0 900
worth of Rreenbacl1s. Therefore, If.
for any cause, the coin certificate is not
held to be as good money as the green
back. it is because the President and his
organs have assailed it for months
They are responsible for much of the IN
easiness regarding the coin certificates.

4 LESSON OF THE LIZZIE BORDEN TRIAL,

Aside from the intense interest excited
by the Lizzie Borden trial on account of
the sensational features surrounding
the dark tragedy, it has An educational
aspect whose effect on the legal profess
sion, it is to be hoped, will not be lost.
In every respect the conduct of the trial
has been an object lesson of how JUS
tice should be administered. The court
house is old fashioned and the court
room not large. There is no ornamsn-
tation about it. nor any attempt at
esthetic effects, with blind goddesses of
justice or other statuary. yet this plain
New England court room has been per-
vaded by an air of judicial learning.
dignity and decorum that has made it
seem like an ideal temple of justice.
The learned judges have set an exam
pie of decorum that exactcd it in return
from all others. The high sheriff. a
little pOmpous, perhaps, but ever
mindful of the proprieties of
the place. has seen to il that
they were not infringed upon.
The lawyers. exceptionally able ones on
both sides, have treated one another
with degree of courtesy that has prob
ably proved a great surprise to many of
their professional brethren in other
parts of the country. There has been
no wrangling or bandying of words be-
tween them, no arguing with the judges.
no attempts To- br0wDeat witnesses or
to befog the jury. no pettifogging of
any kind. No frivolous or technical OBJ
jections have been made by counsel on
either side. The defense have taken
only three exceptions to the rulings of
the court. These rulings, for the most
part, have been in the fewest possible
words. as "The witness may answer"
or 1.-The question is excluded" and there
the matter ends. The arguments adj
dressed to the court have been models
of legal logic, and those addressed to
the jury have been remarkable for clear
ness of language, directness of state
ment and entire absence of claptrap or
straining after dramatic effect. Yet
they have been fOrceful and mastery.
There is valuable lesson in all this
which the legal profession throughout
the country would do we'll to lay to
heart

THE verdict of acquittal in the Lizzie
Borden case will not surprise any per-
son who has followed the course of the
trial at all closely. 1t has been evident
for soma time that the prosecution had
failed TO make case. They succeeded
in deepening the mystery that has sur
rounded the affair from the beginning
and in developing some inexplicable cir
cumstances, but they fell far short of
proving the defendant guilty beyond a
reasonable doubt. In fact, their case
has been steadily growing weaker
almost from the beginning of the trial.
