The Clayton Courier says:

The Clayton Courier says:
The advocates of free coinage of silver
are for sound money. They want both
gold and silver as redemption money
as it was before 1873. The gold men want
to continue and set UP the single gold
standard Let the single standard sue
coed, and every private contract would be
creasing the value of all products by
contra citing the currency of the country.
The editor of the Evergreen Courant
talks sound Common sense:
A sound money Democrat accepted the
agency for the Courant in an important
country town before he knew it's free sill
Yer proclivities. However, he did not go
back on his bargain. He said he was glad
to have the new paper" and would do all
he could for it-not on account Of its pol
itics, but because 1t was home enter
prise, and something that all the people
could we'll afford to encourage. But this
gentleman Is no exception to the rule.
Why should neighbors and friends who
have the same end in view fall out and
fight because they happen to differ as to
means? Sad experience has taught us a
costly lesson, and we are glad that there
is general disposition on the part of
the people to be more conservative and
tolerant than they have been in recent
campaigns.

THE HETTY GREEN HEARING.
OF THIS CITY, is ONE OF THE
COUNSEL IN THE CASE.
Suit is to Secure Final Settlement
From the Surviving Executor of
Father of Mrs. Green.

New YORK, Feb. 16.-The much
postponed hearing in the case Of
Mrs. Hetty Green against Henry
A. Darling, the surviving executor
Of the estate Of her father, Edward
M. Robinson, touching a final &C.
counting OF the estate, is being held
here before the referee, II. H. An
derson, Wall street. John Holden
was counsel for Mrs. Green, and
with him was Charles Ogden, a
lawyer from San Antonio, Texas.
Miss Sylvia Green and friend,
Mrs. Hartsleigh, were also present.
First came long examination Of
the executor, Mr.. Darling, in be-
half OF Mrs. Green and her son, who
is now in the west. The executor
testified that an account had been
rendered and shown to Mrs. Green
some twenty years ago, but that
she said she had to 60 west and
could not attend to it. Some items
OF the account go back as far as
1866.
Mr.. Ogden asked why, after all
the debt has been paid and the &C
counts settled, the executors had
not turned the estate over to the
trustees. The executor replied that
Mrs. Green's objection and some
slight difficulty about a piece of
property in Missouri were the only
obstacles.
Mr.. Darling was questioned
about the dealing OF his firm with
Lyman, Danny d Company, of
Norfolk, Va, and admitted that
there had been an understand
ing before the sale whereby a Chi
cago purchaser was to bid the price
of $500, 900 for the land and pay off
debt Of SOL, 900 to Hyman, Danny
& Company.
He denied that he had ever
been a partner in the latter firm.
He said he had received a legacy
of $4,000 from the estate
and had received a salary as
executor until January l, 1866, and
had also drawn the interest on
loans to the estate and his commits
sion.

BALTIMORE, Md, Feb. TO-
Judge Dennis committed Lewis
F. Bennett, manager Of the West

contempt Of court for refusing to

the Grand jury. The question came
while Bennett was being examined
in the case again st Robert Jackson,
who is accused Of being a runner
for the policy men and Of carrying
dispatches between the headQuar-
tiers and the telegraph office. The
question was this: Is 1t not a
fact that Robert Jackson or any
other persons comes to the office
Of the Western Union Telegraph
Company, OF which you are the
manager, and receives cipher
message in connection with what
is known as policy or, do you, or
does your company send such
messages to any place or COM
panyw
1t is thought that one Of the
chief reasons for refusing to answer
this is that il answered 1t will be
followed by other Questio MS, the
answers to which might be used
to make the officers or the en-
plOyes OF the telegraph amenable
to the section of the new policy
law, making it crime to have
