A SPECIMEN.

Pick up any bankers journal and
you will find it an enemy to silver,
Here is an extract from periodical
devoted to the banking interests.
Thus, were wheat worth 60 cents a
bushel, while the secretary paid gold, or.
in other words, while the gold basis was
maintained, on his refusal to pay gold it
would rise to Sl.27 per pushed Nomi-
nally if the bullion price of silver was
GO cents per ounce, other prices would rise
in proportion. But, on the contrary, all
whose incomes Were dependent ON invest
ments OF fixed salaries or wages would
lind their incomes, though nomiually the
same, would purchase one-third less.
That exposes the vicious methods
and argument used to prejudice the
people of the east against the remon-
citation of silver. They raise a
scare among the people who leave
their thinking for someone else to do,
10y stufling them with all this rot of
how they will be injured through the
increased values of food products
They admit that free silver will raise
the price of commodities, butinsist that
it must not be allowed to take place,
as the cost of their living would be
correspondingly increased. But that
will not go kown much longer East.
ern operatives are beginning to study
the problem for themselves, and
they are slowly realizing that if the
people of the west can get
good price for wheat and other west
I'm products, and that if as many
more men are making good wages

The newspaper has become a ne
cessity to Americans, and to be shut
out from knowledge of what is 90
ing on in the world would be as great
a hardship to them as any other ex-
cept lack of food, clothing or shelter.
The life is more than meat and the
body more than raiment; and the sat.
isfaction of the mind is as legitimate
as the satisfaction of bodily wants,
and of higher order. The news
paper is the university and liberty of
the people, the common school of
manhood 1t is the great debating
club of politics, the exchange of bust
ness, the record of each day of hu-
mon experience, 1t is necessary to
the proper discharge of the political
duties of the intelligent citizen
But newspaper, at least good
newspaper, is more than a necessity.
1t brings into the narrowest life some
sense of the vast life Of the world.
it is full of tragedy and comedy, wit
and passion, the heroic and the hum
bile, the crime and tue merrimcnt of
nations 1t is great realist history.
It is a daily commentary upon hu-
nan nature

Supt. Byrnes Prefers Charges
Against Him.
Due to the Queer Swearing in the
Warren Lewis Case.
Police Commissioners to sit In Judg-
ment Next Monday.

Ever since Dumont c. Lewis. son of
Warren Lewis, proprietor of the AL
hambra, $50 Eighth avenue. was dis
charged in Special Sessions OH Thursday
last. where he was on trial for keeping
a place in which d~isorderly characters
congregated, Supt. Byrnes has been con-
sidering how best to bring Police Capt.
Price, of the West Th,rty-seventh street
police station. to terms for the evidence
which he gave on the trial. This morn
Ing he decided to take action, and as a
result charges We're filed not only against
Capt. Price, but also against his two
ward detectives, Curry and Hay.
When the Police commissioners met
later in the day the charges came Off
clally before them. President Martin
announced hat he had received the
charges and they had been approved.
The trial wa Their set down for Mon
day morning next.
The Captain and his ward men are
charged with conduct unbccominE off,

al three at the trial Of Lewis, q tran
World of Saturday last.
The Alhambra Is In. the Thirteenth
Assembly District, of which Police Com
missioner SneehRn Is leader. The latter
and Warren Lewis, who owns the AL
hambra, are said to be fast friends.
The Pequod Club is also in the district,
II Capt. Price is a member of that
organization. SO are Commissioners
Sheehan and Lewis.
Rev, DIR. P%arkhurst had no difficulty
IN fnding evidence, against the Alham-
6ra, and forwarded written charges to
no action. Similar charges were sent
to Police Headquarters, and Inspector
McAvoy. who is Prices immediate SUI
perior. directed Price to investigate.
Price sent out four of his men to do
so.
Inspector McAvoy, acting under orders
from Supt. Byrnes, also made an in
vestigation, and. with three Central
Office men. he succeeded in obtaining
abundant information. Price was or
dered to raid the place, and he did SO.
After the raid, Capt. Price swore posi-
lively on the Information Of Detectives
Hay, Curry and five others hat the
place was disorderly.
Dumont Lewis, who was arrested in
the raid. was held by Justice Ryan, in
Special. Sessions for keeping a disor-
derby house. The case as stated was
tried last Thursday. Price in his tes-
timony denied nearly all he had stated
in his previous affidavit. He said he
had never seen anything of a disorderly
nature in the place. The two detec-
tives named swore in a similar man
ner, and although Inspector McAvoy
swore that the place was disorderly,
Lewis was discharged. Hence the
charges.
