He Suppressed an Opinion Of Attor-
nsy General Olney.
FULL AUTHORITY TO ISSUE BONDS
Tho President Deliberately Created q
Doubt That Caused Public Alarm and
q Panic-Compslied Now to Betray
the Insincerity Of His Own Course.
SPECIAL TO THE NEWS.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 23-The last ad-
ministfatien was-ieath to Issue
bonds, but IL prepared for any emer-
gency by having the bonds printed
ready for issuance so that the gold re-
serve Of $780, 000,0 900 might not be drawn
upon. The emergency did not arise,
aud the bonds were not issued.
Attorney General Miller and Secretary
Foster decided that the secretary Of the
treasury had full authority TO issue bonds.
but Cleveland and Carlisle ignored this.
The News can now state on the author
lay OF a cabinet officer that President
Cleveland instructed his attorney general
to look up the law on this point seven
months ago. Mr.. Olney did so, and wrote
an official opinion declaring the Sher-
man resumption act gave the secretary Of
the treasury full power TO sell bonds to
maintaiu the gold reserve. This opinion
was suppressed by the direction of the
president, vino wished to keep the con-
gress and the country in doubt as TO his
right to sell the bonds. His purpose was
to force congress to yield to his wishes
and repeal the Sherman law. The conse-
quence Of the doubt which he deliberately
created was public alarm, the panic, and
finally the "Cleveland object lesson" to
the country two billion dollars loss. and
the ruin Of thousands.
The dire consequences are not yet over,
the losses not yet counted, the suffering
not yet told, but now, after the incalcula-
BILE wrong caused BY falsehood and weak
ness and incapacity, the ID emocratic sem
ators announce that the Sherman law is
so good that it Is to be extended anoth er
year. and President Cleveland announ ces
that he has had the power all along to is
sue bonds to maintain the gold reserve
This announ cement, as now made by
Mr.. Olney, empbasizs the plight
OF the president. The Southern
Democratic senator's have re-
fused to repeal the Sherman silver
act, and they also refuse poirt blank to
authorize a bond Issue. They have
so long promised the people Of
the South thaS "wild-cat state
banks" should supersede the ma
tional banks that they cannot stultify
themselves by voting for an issue of bonds
which will be sold through the national
banks. So. to make any terms whatever
with the secession brigade in the senate
the president has had to announce to them
that he does not require them 10 vote for
bond issue. Mr.. Cleveland was thus COM
PEELED weakly To betray the insincerty Of
his own course since his Inauguration to
pave the way for possible compromise
on silver.

the atmosphere was becoming oppres-
sive, beat hasty :retreat. As

FALL RIVER. Oct. 23.-Judge Hopkins
bas decided the case of u. u. Morris VS..
the Globe Street Railway compa ny.
The plaintiffs son, Thomas, in company
with Providence lad, was driving
through the streets some little time ago
when he collided with an electric car and
was killed. His father brought suit to
recover for the loss Of his son's services.
j. w. Cummings represented the
plaintiff and j. +. Jackson the defendant.
Mr.. Jackson raised the point that a suit
could not be brought to recover for the
loss OF services OF a minor.
Mr.. Hopkins ruled that while the legis-
lature had passed laws from time to time,
making it possible for widows aud ad-
illustrators to sue in such cases, the
statutes did not make it plain that
parents could maintain an action for the
loss of services Of minor children, and
sustained the demurrer filed By Mr.. Jack
