CLEvBLANDtAND FREE COINAGE.
President Cleveland has at last
declared that he would not veto a
free coinage bill II it reached him
and was not unconstitutional This
declaration is in accordance with
the views held by his most intimate
friends all along. Few people ever
supposed that he would put his in-
dividuat opinion against that of
both branches of congress and the
expressed will of the people in this
matter. The silver question has
been thoroughly discussed and the
people of the country understand
it pretty thoroughly.
A majority of the members of
congress are in favor of the free
and unlimited coinage of silver and
a popular vote would show a
majority in favor of the free and
unlimited coinage Of silver in four
out of every five of all the states
and territories in this country, and
the friends of silver are becomeing
more numerous all the time.
President Cleveland is quick to see
the drift of public opinion and is
not going to oppose himself to the
will of the people. Besides he is
bound not to oppose the free coin
age of silver by the democratic
platform on which he was elected.

in the first degree at Las Cruces
l1st week on circumstantial evil
dence. There have been compar-
atively few persons convicted Of
murder in the first degree in this
country ON purely circumstantial
evidence and in some OF these cas-
es it has been afterwards shown
that an innocent person had been
convicted and made 10 suffer the
death penalty for the crime Of an
other. In view Of the possibility
Of an innocent person being made
to suffer the death penalty, it is
not an easy matter to secure a con-
viction of murder in the first de-
gree on circumstantial evidence
unless such a verdict would be in
accordance with a pronounced pub
lie opinion at the time of the trial.
1t was only a short time since that
Sam Steel was murdered on the
highway near Las Cruces. He died
without uttering a syllable Of evil
dence. No one but the murdered
man and the murderer were pres
ent at The time the shot was fred.
No other person, so far as is
known, saw tho fatal shot fred.
John Roper, who passed over the
road at or about the time of the
killing, was arrested, indicted,
tried and convicted of murder in
the first degree within a few days
after the crime had been commit
ted. Other persons we're nea the
place at or about the time of the
killing and the crime might have
been committed by another per-
son. There was no direct and
positive evidence brought out at
the trial to show hat Roper COM
mitted the crime or that it was
not committed by some one else.
Suspicion pointed its finger at Ro-
per and the people clamored for
his life. 1t was with difficulty
that a lynching was prevented and
while the excitement was yet high
he was tried, convicted of murder
in the first degree and sentenced
to be hanged.
Roper is probably guilty of the
crime Of which he has been con-
victed and he will very likely
meet his just deserts on the scat
fold, but there is a possibility that
he is innocent. Some other per-
son might have fired the fatal shot
which ended the life Of young
Steel. The very enormity of the
crime itself seems to suggest that
Roper did not commit it. He
bore iSteel no malice because they
were strangers. If he committed
the deed, he committed it in cold
blood and with a desire to do MUIR
der in his heart. If these condi-
tions existed, then the punishment
of death on the gallows will be
none too severe, but if the fatal
shot was fired by another person
and Roper knew nothing of the
crime until after his arrest, as he
claims, then there has been a great
wrong done. After the sentence
of death has been carried into ex-
ecution there may be some one
who will confess to having com
mitted the crime. Then it will
be too late to bring Roper back tC
life. Had he been sentenced to the
penitentiary for life there would
have been a chance to pardon hin
if it should afterwards be ascer
tanned that he did not commit thu
crime. 1t a not be denied tina
there are objections to the Law
that permits a person to be hanged
on purely circumstantial evidence

The Secular Union is the name of an or
ganization of Chicago people who favor the
opening of the worlds fair on SUNDAYS.
And the Secular Union is doing everything
in its power to keep the gates open seven
days in the week. One of its latest move
ments was to have introduced in the Illinois
legislature bill to open the Illinois state
exhibit to the public on Sundays. 1t is
claimed by hackers of the bill that the
state has not coded the Jurisdiction over
jackson park to the United States, and
therefore, Illinois retains its police power
over the park. The attorneys say that had
congress contracted with the exposition to
keep open on Sunday the state legislature
would have had the power to close the
gates. There is. however. little prospect of
its becoming law. II it should, however,
it is believed that the opening of the Illinois
exhibit on Sundays would lead to the whole
exposition being thrown open also.

Is Progressive Euchre Gambling?
An interesting game of tit-for-.at is 60
ing on at Columbus, Ind. 1t is between the
sporting" element of the city on one side,
and the minister and local -Four Hundred
on the other. To begin at the beginning. a
short while ago a determined fight was be-
gun by the ministers and the Law and Order
League against saloons and gambling dens.
The good people worked with will, and
soon had the naughty ones in decidedly
uncomfortable position. Then came the
blow Of retaliation. The liquor dealers
and gamblers cut out the names Of
the people printed in the daily papers as
having taken part in progressive euchre
parties, playing for prizes, and sent them to
the grand jury. There was prima facie evil
dence that gambling was going on in the
parlors Of the good people, and the saloon
men demanded that an Investigation be
made. 1nasmuch as the la ~ is no respecter
of persons, the grand jury issued summonses
for about forty well-known society men
and women to appear before it for examina-
ton. But many of them could not be
found. They had suddenly determined
upon a hAoAh W Out-Ol-LOWn relatives OF
friends, and had acted at once upon the de-
termination. A number of the men, how
ever, answered the summonses in person
and succeeded in saving the ladies the
chagrin of being forced to testify.
There are several questions upon which
the outcome OF this matter may bear. Is
playing progressive euchre for geegaw
prizes to he classed with rolling craps? Is
the grabbag player at the church fair as
much amenable to the law as the player
who bucks the tiger" on the green tablet
Are the golden youth in his swallow-rail
and the society bud. who play "old maid''
for Decktie against gloves, liable to arrest
for gambling! Are private homes in In
diana to be subject to police raids-patrol
wagons, cells aud police court accompani-
ments-if a penny-ante game of poker
should be INDUCED in2 1t seems absurd to
suppose that the laws against gambling
would be enforced in the lines indicated.
But the issue is Joined at Columbus, and the
statutes make no discrimination.

Unrequited love and the lack Of bottle
of muciaRe are responsible for the down.
fall OF Missouri postmistress. She was
love-lorn maiden in charge Of a fifth-class
postoffice. and it became her official duty
every day the mail left to forward to her
hated rival letter from the school teacher
they both loved. Frequently the fortunate
girl remarked to her lover that the alleged
kisses with which he sealed the flaps OF the
envelope had peculiar odor, as if of the
white of an egg. which finally led to a little
detective work on the part OF the swain,
and the final arrest OF the postmistress on
the charge of opening the letters of the low
ers. And she confessed, not emitting to
state that she opened the letters because she
couldn't overcome her curiosity to know
what the man she loved was saying to her
rival. She blames her discovery upon the
fact that the postoffioe could not afford n
bottle Of mucilage, which necessitated the
use OF the white of an egg to reseal the ten
der missives.
