The rumor. printed in our dispatches
yesterday, that Nicaragua, Honduras, Sal
vador and Costa Rica would probably
league with Guatemala against Mexico,
has probably slight foundation. A scheme
for the confederation of these republics
has often been mooted, but nothing has
resulted. 1t is understood that the Ezetas
formerly of Salvador but lately run out of
that country by a revolution, are in Cen
trail America working TO form a confed-
Grafton of Central American republics. 1t
may be that the assertion that the other
countries would go to Guatemala's aid
came from the Ezetas, for ends of their

The Presidents plan goes to the root
OF the whole matter without opening the
question of state bank circulation or cir
culaton based on anything besides United
states bonds. If il should be adopted
there would be no more Scares about the

port demand for gold would soon cease. or

foreign demand for them would be in
great measure restored.

1t is yet to be demonstrated whether
the democrats OF the Tennessee legisla-
ture have acted wisely in going behind the
returns to determine the result of the
gubernatorial election. The committee
that is to make the investigation of the
charges of fraud is composed of twelve
members, seven democrats and five re-
pubHcans. The contestants, Gov Turney,
the democratic candidate and II. Clay
Evans. the republican candidate. are
given the privilege of attending the ses-
sions of the committee.

that he was cheated out of it. on the
face OF the returns he has majority of
nearly 900. and there was no law for go
ing behind the returns for the purpose of
discovering whether or not frauds were
committed. The democrats have had
control of the legislature a long time and
they had never thought it advisable to
enact such law until after the returns
showed the election of a republican as
governor. While it is true that no man

the New Orleans Picayune, a case out of
the ordinary occurred in the early legal
experience of Judge Buxton of North Car

his first appearance a the bar, the solicit

young lawyer did his best, and the Jury
found the defendant. who vas charged
with some petty misdemeanor. guilty
Soon after one of the jurors, coming round
the bar, tapped him on the shoulder

think that man was guilty. but we did not

OUTSIDE newspapers are unconscious

tation to which she, happily, is not en-
titled. Last week the following APP.
peared in IA number of papers: 1.-THE
New York Household store at Benning-
ton, was burned out at Ais o'clock
Thursday morning. The proprietor, FL
mer Russell, who came from Glens Falls,
N. Y, about two years ago, with Mrs.
Hattie Davis and her daughter Eleanor,
has been arrested on charge of arson.
Bail was fixed at $1,000, which was not
furnished. The insurance amounted to
S1.100." The fire to which reference is
made occurred in Burlington not Ben
nington. Again, one of the daily papers
of the State recently headed an item with
Murder az Bennington and then pro-
ceeded to give the details of revolving
crime that occurred in some small "Hol-
low over in New York State and more
than forty miles from here. With the
head which was placed over the article
the reader was led to believe that the
place was within the town of Bennington
as no State was mentioned. The mis-
take arose from the fact that the dis
patch to the city papers was dated at
Bennington.

perpetated yesterday afternoon. While
MI. LeBaron and family we're away from
their home, a man entered their house
by smashing in a door, and finding his

trunk belonging to Miss Maggie Purcell,
a bOarder, and taking there from several
pieces of jewelry, ibcluding fine gold
watch, and also S16lin cash. The work
was done, evidently by some person or

Buffalo, N. Y, June IA secret con.
ference is being held in this city today
as the result of which the already long
list of trusts will be increased by the
addition of a combination which will
seek to control the output of trimmings
and hardware used in collins and burial
caskets. The manipulators in the pro.
posed trust represent an aggregate cap
ital of about SIS, 900, 900, and it is their
object to do ava with competition and
fix prices at the highest possible figure,
that can be obtained. The principal
reason for the secrecy surrounding to-
days conference is the fear that the.
coffin manufacturers, who, of course,
are the only customers of the manufact-
urers of casket trimmings and hard
ware, might take some means to defeat
the scheme. Several of the small manu-
f~aoturers approached by the promoters
of the proposed combine have shown a
disposition to hold aloof. and the recent
cut of 10 per cent in prices is gener-
ally supposed to la been made with
a view of bringing them to time or
freezing then out. Nearly all the man.

SOUTH DAKOTA NEWS.
Unlucky David Winton.

Sioux Falls, s. D., June 17.-This city
has a character whose lucky stars do
not stand a ghost of a show with his
unlucky ones. David Winton is his
name, and when he started out first to
earn a living he was engaged in maxi
ing bricks. He was fairly successful
at this. He then became interested in
temperance work, and was for a time
state organizer of the Good TempiarS
In South Dakota. Later he went to
studying law and while located in
Sioux Falls. and about the first case
ne a vas one started by himself to
recover SIS for work of Joe Kirby, one
Of this city's most prominent attor-
neyS. Joe beat him and the costs were
assessed to Winton. He could not pay
them and some time after a body exc
cution issued against Winton for the
costs and he went to Jail. He remained
there for a couple of weeks and was
released on a habeas corpus. He at
once sued Kirby for $40 900 damages
for false imprisonment. The cast was
first thrown out of court on a techni-
cality and was begun over again.
Winton then lost the case. He went
to teaching school, and has just got
out of a big row in court with the
school board because he changed the
arrangement of the room and when the
board objected he locke them out of
the building. This Is not the worst of
it. He is liable to go back to jail.
The supreme court has reversed the
decision of the lower court in the ha-
beas corpus proceedings under which
Winton was released from Jail. AS
the costs are now much bigger than
before and Winton Is not better able to
meet them han he was then. he will
probably go to jail.

LOUISVILLE LISTENS TO HIM
A Groat Audience Turns Out to Herr
Carlisle,

A Groat Audience Turns Out to Henri
Carlisle.
Louisville, June 15.-Music a was
packed last night to hear Secretary Car
Isle. All classes of men and all parties
were represented In the immense gath
ering. Everybody in Kentucky recog-
nizes that when Carlisle speaks 1t is the
earnest utterance of n deep student
and no matter how they may differ
from him they know there is something
to be learned when he talks.
For some time 1t had been recognized
that this occasion would be something
out of the ordinary and nearly all the
democratic candidates were present.
Promptly al 8 O'Clock Mr.. Carlisle
came and was presented by Chas. r.
Long. His reception hould have salts
fed the most expectant. When the
applause subsidized Mr.. Car
Isle waded Immediately into his sub
ject. He repeated his argument that
the u~ndervalued metal would be
driven out of the country by the adop-
ton of a bimetallic system, and in a
careful argument at some length COM
batted the claim thai the fall In the
price of silver was due to its demone-
tiZation. The fall in the price of sill
Yer, he commended, was due to an enor-
overproduction. The average an
nual production of silver in the world
during the five years mex preceding
1883 was about s66. 900. 900. while in 1893
1t vas owe s209. 900. 900, an increase of
81 per cent, much greater than the In
crease in business or in the population
of the world. Notwithstanding the
fall in silver. said Mr.. Carlisle, silver
mining continues to be n most prohta-
bic industry. While the farmers and
other producers are struggling to live
comfortably and meet their obliga-
tions. owners of silver mines have ac-
enormous fortunes.
IF the fiat of a single government"
said Mr.. Carlisle. rs sufficient to impart
value to a coin or n other commodity
perhaps these gentlemen are right, but
the whole world has been wrong for
thousands OF years and all the labor
and all the taxation to which the peo-
pie of the world have been subjected in
the past has been unnecessary and un-
justilable. That the fiat of the govSrni
ment does not make money was illus
trated by the history Of the trade dollar.
That was coined free of charge and de-
livered without expense to the owners
of bullion and contained As more grains

for all debts up to IS. just as half dollars

out the credit of the government, sank
to so cents. while the less valuable coin
was maintained at full par. What
happened to the trade dollar would be
what would happen to all other
silver dollars If free and unlimited
coinage were adopted"
