COULDN'T
The Trnmp Card Which Senator voor.
hees viii Play Against Free
Coinage.
Statement by Secretary Carlisle That
Anew Ratio Would BE I'm.
possible,
Except at an Expense to the Govern.
ment OF Over One Hundred
Millions.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 22.-In an article
headed The Present Situation" which
the Washington Post makes the most
prominent feature in Sundays Issue, it
says: The free coinage of silver at a
ratio Of 20 to / or at any increased ra-
tho is practically impossible. This is
the trump card which Senator voor-
hees is to play in the senate on Tues
day. 1t 10 behind this barrier that he
is to intrench himself. This is to be
his explanation for abandoning the
convictions of a lifetime. This is to be
his answer to those who will quote
against him his
Memorable Speeches i'm the Past.
This trump card has been played in
Senator Voorhees, hand by the admin
~istration. Secretary Carlisle, who, de-
spite all assertions to the contrary, is
loyal to the president in the last de-
gree, first gave to Senator Voorhees,
verbally the data to make good this as
sertion that free coinage is impractical
BILE. He has gone further than this and
has prepared an elaborate letter which
the senator will read in the senate on
Tuesday. In this letter the statement
is made that it will cost the country
between $1l2, 900, 900 and $113, 900, 600 to
carry out the provisions of Senator
Vests free coinage bill. 1t is true that
there is nothing in Senator Vests bill
about recoinage. But it does not need
a prophets vision to know that
Dollars Below Par,
which only the government is COM
PEELED to take, will drift into the treas
ury in payment of customs duties and
taxes, and will there remain to the con-
jestion Of the currency. Unless they
can be recoined they would be useless
as money, and if there is free coinage
at an increased ratio, some of the silver
tinanciers in the senate must provide
the secretary of the treasury with over
a hundred millions of dollars to exc
cute the law. Altogether it would
seem as if the silver men were involved
in a situation from which it will be
difficult to extricate themselves.

Works Both WAYS.

The district court has rendered a de-
cision in regard to the Jim Crow car law
requiring the railroads to provide sepa-
rate cars for whites and negroes that
will seriously interfere with justice.
The decision declares that the law
makes no exception of deputy sheriffs OF
officers accompanying prisoners, and
that a white officer having a colored
prisoner in charge cannot accompany
him in the same car. The case arose
over the sheriff of Lafayette parish who
was taking q negro to an asylum for the
insane, and who was forced from the
car. BY the decision Nc negro prisoner
or lunatic can be conveyed by car to
jail, prison or asylum by a white officer.
