HAMILTON AND BURR.
Interesting "reminiscences of Their Fatal
Duel,

The monograph published some
weeks ago by the Hamilton Bank of
this city, presenting the story of the
Burr-Hamilton duel as told in the news
paper accounts of 1864, has attracted
degree of attention that illustrates
the interest still felt in that tragic and
lamentable event. Several scores of
letters have been received at the bank
asking for the pamphlet or comment.
ing upon the facts therein presented
One writer in the course of his com
ments, says:
"A gentleman connected with the
Schuylers and Hamiltons closely by
marriage, and with whose friendship
was long honored, once told me, 4 am
the only man living who knows the
real cause of that duel, and l shall
carry nv secret with me to the grave, }
which he did. NV mother, only daugh-
ter of Nathaniel Pendleton, (Hamil-
ton 9 second in the duel, often told me,
Father did not, think, wish General
Hamilton to fight with Burr. He felt
certain that Burr would kill him. Burr
was a dead shot; the General was a
very poor one.' OF Burr my mother
always spoke with the most undisguised
scorn and contempt. She told me
often, L have seen him walking the
streets of New York, often-a little,
decrepit, shabby, meanlooking man,
too poor to pay his way across the ferry.
Another venerable correspondent
writes; II was nine years old when
the duel occurred, and remember the
event very we'll. The country was
greatly excited, threatening to hang
Burr. In some respects he had his de-
serts. He was despised, an outcast
from society. I have seen him twice,
the last time the morning after his last
marriage. He and his wife went on
the New Haven steamboat, in New
York. He was very small man, but
every person would notice his remarka.
bly, bright black eyes.
Says another writer: my great
grandfather, Theodore B. Valleau,
signed as witness to General Hamil-
tons will, and his son was at that time
a student at law in Hamilton's office.
To him the General is said to have
given his last words of direction about
his business affairs on the afternoon
previous to his meeting with Colonel
BUR. OF course, no intimation was
then given of what was to follow"
In Parton's "Life of Aaron Burr" a
statement is made that the marble
monument erected by the st. Andrew s
Society of New York, of which Hamil-
ton was President, upon the spot in
Weehawken where he fell, was broken
down and carried off by vandal hands,
and that the ''slab which bore the in
scription was preserved until recently"
but upon searching for it" it was dis
covered that even that last relic had
disappeared in the same mysterious
manner as the rest" The publication
of this monograph has thrown light
upon that mystery, for one of the letters
above referred to is from a member of
the family to which that historic spot
belongs, who says: "The duel was
fought on my fathers property, and he
now has in his house the slab that the
st. Andrews Society erected to mark
the spot. New York Times.

Our debt to England may probnbly be
counted in thousands of millions. In.
teresu and principal are paid chiefly in
these commodities, every one of which
has been artifcially depressed in price
by the demonetization of silver, with
the effect to augment our Indebtedness.
What patriotic American can contem-
plate this fact with indifference What
patriotic American can avoid a feeling
of humiliation that our money policy,
like our tariff policy, is dictated by a
foreign nation which would exult to
have our manufacturing industries
crippled, while our farmers and planters
and miners are compelled to furnish
our rivals with materials at less than
half pricep
Bimetallism, therefore, represents
American interest, as gold monometal-
ism represents British interests. What
is the attitude of the Republican party
toward the question? Beyond dispute
the party is committed conclusively to
the promotion of the joint use of both
the precious metals. 1t is committed
by its official utterances in its plat
forms; by the tradition and practice of
the government; by the fact that three
Republican Presidents summoned three
International conferences in earnest eff
fort to procure and agreement to re.
monetize silver; and by the fact that
the Republican party represents protec-
ton to American interests from Eu-
ropean aggression. This was not once
denied by those who took part on the
gold side of the recent debate in the
House of Representatives. The West
ern farmer, who is impoverished by
gold monometalism, the silver miner,
whose industry is injured by it, the
cotton planter who has his debts en-
larged by it-these men are our fellow
citizens Their prosperity brings pros
perity to the nation. When they can
buy, then the great manufacturing iu-
dustries Of the East have and insa table
market. When they suffer we suffer.
When their products are exported at
half their value or less, the nation, as
a nation, is the victim of a kind of
brigandage.
The same devotion to our country's
welfare which impels the party to re
sist British free trade urges it to oppose
British gold monometalism. Both
systems have common origin. Both
have a common purpose-to pluck and
to plunder other nations for British ad-
vantage. The cause of the Western
victims of the single gold standard is
our cause. 1t is the cause of the East
ern manufacturer, who is menaced from
the same source with free trade. 1t is
the cause of the Eastern merchant, who
finds trade active only when the West
is rich. The Republican party, then,
must stand fast by bimetalism. 1t
must be faithful to its declarations and
it's principles. II must be firmly allied
to the West in the conflict now begun.
The way to success is not wholly evil
dent. The one thing that is evident to
The Press is that the Republican leaders
must keep faith with the people. That
party has promised bimetalic cur
rency; has promised that gold and silver
shall be kept at parity, and the best
interests of the country demand that
those promises shall be faithfully kept.

the consideration of Druggist
Swartz's case wherein he asks for q
remittanceof fine imposed on him
of e5s.75 for selling liquor In viola
ton OF the city ordinances would be
doing no more than an act of justice
in allowing the claim. That Mr.
Swartz has been verv particular in
selling liquor only by prescription
or where the utmost necessity seem
ed to demand 1t is the opinion of
many of the best citizens who have
occasion to make frequent calls at
the drug store. Alcohol and wines
are often required instantly for
medicinal purposes and it is mis-
take to make the restrictions too
binding. Mr. Swartz has offered to
give the city strong bond to the
effect that such liquors shall be sold
only for medicinal purposes as has
been his custom and Is disposed in
every way to act in good faith. If,
occasionally, some irresponsible in
dividual procures liquor under false
statements the punishment should
not be visited on the druggist who
acts upon his best Judgement and
