UNDER our present system of trying
to maintain a gold basis without an adj
equate supply of gold, the treasury is no
sooner out of one difficulty than it is
into another. The gold boarding process
is reported to have set in again in antici-
patton of the requirements of China in
paying the war indemnity which is de-
handed by Japan. AS soon as it shall
be known that this indemnity, amount
ing to $3.50, 100000, is to be paid in gold
the raid on the United States treasury
will begin again, as it will be the only
open source of supply. But they will
not take it all out, for that might force
the country to a silver basis. They will
merely reduce the reserve sufficiently to
cause another issue of bonds and then
repeat the process until the whole
amount has finally been obtained. And
the country may expect nothing else
than that Mr.. Cleveland will not only
permit this, but that he will give it his
aid and sanction. The gold gamblers
never had a more faithful servant.

SUPPOSE that the legislature had
amended the prohibitory law so that the
joints could run during horse races or
grand army meetings or Sunday school
conventions, wouldn't there be a howl
from the goody good people? Yet the
Cubbison anti-gambling law, in allowing
gambling at horse races, puts this princi-
pie into law. OF all the overestimated
men on earth ]. G. Cubbison takes the
cake.-Hutchinson Gazette.
1t isn't Mr.. Cubbison's fault particu-
larly that this foolish and laugh-prov ok
ing law was passed, but the legislature'a
law that makes q certain act a crime
during part of the year and harmless
ether parts of the year, js a fit subject of
ridicule. If it is against public welfare
to gamble on horse races at all, it Ger.
tainly is against it at all times in the
year. The provision that law may be
suspended for q certain period is an
absurdity that has probably never been
equaled in modern Legislation. Why
not suspend other laws against crimes
and misdemeanors the same wayT

JUDGING from the tone of Colonel Bill
Hackney's letter, just made public, the
new silver party is the place for him.
He says he is a protectionist. While the
new party has not declared in favor of
protection it has not said anything
against it. The fact is, if silver is re-
stored with the prosperity which is sure
to follow, the people will not
worry much whether there is a
high tariff, low tariff, or no tariff.
They understand where the taxes com
from, and they are willing to pay them,
no matter how levied, if only they are
permitted to earn the money with which

Concealed weapons.

~ Judge Campbell of Mississippi has
stirred up considerable discussion in that
State by n recent declaratio that the law
against carrying concealed weapons should
be abolished. He claims that il operates to
the injury OF good citizens ami the advan-
tage of criminals. The latter carry weap-
ons despite the law. wbil. law abiding citi-
zens do not. and the criminal has the advan-
tage both of possessing the weapon and of
knowing that the other is unarmed. Sew.
eral plans for overcoming the difficulty have
been advocated. but the strangest is made
by the Rev. w. l.. G. Hunnicut. He would
prohibit the making. selling or possessing
of any firearm that can be concealed about
mans person. The shortest gus should he
three feet long. he says, and he would havea
law passed making 1T n misdcmeanor, pun
ishable by heavy fine or imprisonment, or
both, for any one to make, sell, give away
or possess any gun less than three feet long.

yers Try to BreakIts Force.

District court, with Justice Cox presid-
ing, was occupied this morning in the con-
sileratioD OF IDgleside subdivision, in the
condemnation proceedings for street ex-
tensions. The attorneys present at the
opening were Messrs. Thomas and Du-
vail, for the government, and Messrs.
Chaplin Brown, Nathaniel Wilson and A.
II. O'CoDnor, for the respondents.
Mr.~Joseph b. Winner, a real estate
dealer. whose principal experience as such
has been in lexington and Washington
Heights, was called by Mr.. Thomas, but
before the questioning had proceeded very
far, the examination was objected to by
Mr.. Wilson upon the grounds that he had
not shown a sufficient familiarity with the
subdivision under consideration to make
him competent to testify.
His evidence was admitted by the court,
and the respondents noted an exception.
The exceptions were repeated TO each OF
the first series OF questions propouDded,
and when at last Mr.. Thomas asked him as
to the effect upon certain lot OF the
proposed reduction in its area. and whether
or not the remainder would be deep
enough" objections came from both Mr.,
Wilson and Mr.. Brown.
WHAT MR.. THOMAS MEANT.
The court admitted the question, after
Mr.. Thomas explained that he meant to
inquire whether or not the residue of the
lot would be deep enough for building
purposes.
Mr.. Winner was interrogated as to prices
and the effects of reduction upon renaind-
ders and the values he placed upon the lots
were principally between 80 cents and 60
cents per foot, few at 40 cents, and some
were placed as lowas 10 cents per foot.
"what effect would the abandonment of
Ingleside Terrace have upon the lots on that
street," inquired Mr.. Thomas.
The witness could give no opinion, but
said, in response to question, that il Ingle-
side Terrace Were maintained as a private
way the values of the lots would be slightly
enhanced. Some lots would be neither de-
preciated or increased in value by the aban-
donment OF the terrace.
This was true, he thought, Of lots l,
3, 4, 8, and TO 8, inclusive, none OF which
was available for building purposes. Lot
13 would be practically destroyed for
building purposes. Lots IL and Is he
valued at IL 1-2 cents, lot 4 at 10 cents,
lot 16 at 10 cents, and from that to lot &c
a prices ranged upward to 40 cents per
foot. Lot % he placed al 60 cents per
foot. Other lots in the vicinity OF Lowell
street were valued at 81. ~.
Mr.. Winner was cross-examined by Mr..

what he based his estimate of the value of
lot 1, of block L, at 20 cents per foot. The
witness replied that lie fixed the figure on
