A Cannon Ball Which Was Fired
in the Revolutionary War.
New York World
A landslide took place Feb Is in
the deep cut through which the New
York Central & Hudson River rail
road runs near the Hudson river.
and as a result Flagman John Lark
in possesses a valuable relic of the
Revolutionary war in the shape of
a thirty-two-pound cannon ball.
When excayated the cut pierced the
old line of Notifications on the
heights formerly known as Fort
Washington, and which, during the
Revolutionary war; was special
point of bOmbardmeut for days by
the British at Fort Lee on the Pal
isades, nearly opposite.
A good many pounds of metal.
bullets, solid shot and grapnel
landed on and in these earthworks.
and when, by a flank movement. the
British tumbled into Fort Washing
ton, our forefathers skedaddIed
without stopping to take these mis-
siles along.
The cut is sixty feet deep, of
shale and loan, and little landslides
are OF frequent occurrence Every
shoVelful contained these relics of
the early war, but section hands
either dumped them into the Hud-
son or sold them to junk men. Lat
ly historians have learned of the
finds, and have bought all the relies
they could get hold of. AS the larg-
est object yet found, Flagman Lark
ms cannon ball is a prize.

HANG IT'S HIDE ON THE FENCE.

HANG IT'S HIDE ON THE FENCE.
The hide of Senator Stevens Sen.
ate File No. 4, proposing an amend
ment to the constitution providing
for the taxation of sleeping car com
panies land Others" should be in
continently hung on the fence by the
house today.
1t is a cunningly devised scheme
to nullify the Anderson bill taxing
railroad lands. 1t is also designed
to repeal the gross earnings tax
law and throw the taxation into the
legislature biennially. This is it's
purpose.
The bill provides in lines Is to 16
that the legislature may impose
tax on the property of all companies
and corporations in the state that
''by reason of frequent changes of
site or elusive character cannot, in
the opinion of the legislature, be
reasonably and fairly taxed in the
manner provided by law" except
that of railroad companies. A sub
sequent line authorizes the legis-
lature to impose a tax on "any or
ALL the property. Another makes
this amendment paramount to all
other provisions of the constitution.
Being later than the Anderson
amendment, it will be paramount to
that
Now let us look into this and see
what we can find. 1t leaves to the
Legislature the taxation of all "elus-
i've" property except that of rail-
roads. Their property, not elusive
or changeful of situs, would, under
the designation of "all other COM
panies or corporations whatever"
be taxable by the Legislature, the
exception of railroad property only
including its elusive" property.
What property of a railroad is
"elusive?" Certainly not the gross
earnings of its business. Neither
are they subject to frequent
changes of site" Then under this
dextrously drawn bill the gross
earnings tax, instead of being. as
now. fixed at per cent, would be
whatever each successive legislature
might be induced to make it. There
is no escape from this deduction of
the possibilities of the bill.
Again, the lands granted the COM
panies are neither elusive" nor do
they frequently or ever change their
sites. Not being either. they fall
within the scope of the measure
and it transfers their taxation from
the localities to the Legislature,
which may, under the ANY or all''
provision, tax them or not, as it may
be induced to do. &e
This is the Senegambian that

MEMPHIS. April 21-In an inter

He replied:
There will be three political or
CARNATIONS in the senate when it
meets in December, neither of which
will have a majority The Republi-
cans will have three or four more
votes than the Democrats, and the
Populist senators will hold the bal

organize the senate, and while I, as
an individual senator, am resolved
to do full and exact justice to the
Populist senators in the organiza-

What is your opinion as to the

1.-The utilization and rehabilitation
of silver to its position as a money
metal and a money of ultimate re-
demption in connection with gold as
the regulator of volume or amount
of the thing called money, is over
whelmingly strong in the South and
West, and in my opinion ought to
be strong and conclusive everywhere.
IF people would recognize the I'M
deniable fact that money is purely
the creature of law, it is now, al
ways was and always will be just
what the law of its own country
makes it, and when it passes beyond
the limits Of your own country it is
not money, but Immediately becomes
a commodity which goes up in the
market at its market value just as
your bale of cotton. hogshead of to-
bacco or bushel of wheat does on
the foreign market at its value. l

place in the policy of this country,
and the parties of 1896 way we'll look
to it as an issue that will not down,

An Attempt to Force the Country
to IL Gold Standard.
NEW YORK, April 21.-Francis
G.. Newland, member of congress
from Nevada. it at the Holland
house. He told this story to a re-
porter of a former effort to force
Japan to adopt the gold standard:
at was during the time James G.
Blaine was secretary of state. 1 re-
ceived letter from the state depart
ment, introducing me to a number
of japanese, comprising a commits
sion who were in this country to in
vestigate our money system. They
told me that an agent from England
had been in Japan trying to get
their government to demonetize sill
yer. They talked with Senators
Stewart, Jones, Teller, Sherman
and others. They were warned not
to think of allowing silver to be dis
carded as a money metal. The re-
suit of their investigation is that
today Japan is the great power of
the Orient. What would have been
the result had Japan done as Eng
land wished? When this question
of war with China arose, Japan
could not have carried on the war
had she been upon a gold basis
without first consulting England.
A gold loan would have resulted.
and England would have had Japan
by thethroat, even as she has us

PRESIDENT ANDREWS, VIEWS.

A couple of years ago the steady
going capitalists of New England
were amazed by the appearance
among the advocates of that word
of many meanings, bimetallism, of
Prof. Francis b. Walker and Of
President Andrews. of Brown uni
versity. To them it seemed as if
the solid earth was quaking under
their feet, and that chaos was come
again, when these men took the
field for the recoinage of silver.
Their coming was hailed. with de-
light by the si1verites, keenly feel
ing the lack Of the students and pro-
fessors of political economy in their
ranks. The appearance of President
Andrews was not altogether a sur
prise, as he had been a member of
the last International conference.
which attempted to have silver re-
stored to free coinage.
While Mr.. Andrews is DESTROYS of
having silver utilized in the coinage
to it's fullest capacity, approaching
fully the results of the denial of it
to the minis by the commercial ma
lions, he believes that any effort
towards restoration must be by the
united efforts of the nations demon
etiZing it. While we do not share
his views on this point, we do fully
those relating to the effect of the
admission Of silver to our minis
at the old ratio, and we submit to
our silvery friends who regard as
fallacious the judgment of those op-
posing them, that they should be
more open to the counsel of the man
whom they regard as their ally.
The Chicago Record is publishing
letters from men of prominence on
this topic, and has one from Presi-
dent Andrews. In it he meets the
assertion that this country alone is
able to establish free coinage with
an argument against it and a state
ment Of what, in his Judgment.
would follow. The attempt to do it
would, he says, precipitate silver
recommendation, replacing gold mon
ometallisn, and this because of the
alarm it would create in investors in
our securities, leading them to sell
for gold. and in the boarding of
gold that would follow here. Ad-
uniting that this would be base
less. and that it is nothing but pref
udice, still he says it must be reck-
oned with as one Of the active and
powerful forces. Add to this the
policy of European nations to in
crease their gold holdings and that
OF the foreign bankers, and free
coinage here would Immediately
drive gold out of circulation, 1eav-
ing it TO be a measure of values.

but depriving 1t of its function as a
medium of exchange.
The judgment of as able friend
of the white metal on the effect of
our essay in free coming is certain
ly better than that of men like, say,
Senator Cockrell, who don't care
how soon a silver basis comes" or
those others who believe that we
could maintain the present use of
both gold and silver. But it is the
effect of the proposed movement ON
our own conditions as foreseen
by President Andrews that we think
the advocates of free coming should
give heed to-. This we quote in full
from his letter in the Record. He
says:
If we take up the metal alone, and
that course results, as l should antici-
pate, in the expulsion of gold, we shall
have in the first place a financial crisis
worseN than any ever suffered in the
country. This because we cannot in
a long time, even by working our minis
day and night, coin silver enough to
take the place which, would be va
Gated by gold. Prices would sorely fall
Immense numbers of failures would
occur. Laborers would be thrown out
of work. Altogether dreadful pa
roxysm in our business would be pre-
cipitated.
Slowly the gap left by gold would be
filled by the mining and coinage of
silver. Prices would then gradually
rise. AT last they would become high
er than now, more and more approach
ing the Mexican and Japanese level
Some advantages would doubtless
spring from this elevation of prices,
but it is a mistake to suppose that it
would redress the iniquity caused by
the fall of prices since 1873, because the
rise and the fall would in the over
whelming majority of cases not APP
ply to the same parties. In most in
stances the very men who have profit
ed by the fall would manage to profit
again by the rise. Moreover, wages
would rise more slowly than values at
large.
But a consequence far worse than
any Of these would be that our pas
sage to silver basis would erect
against foreign exchange between Eu-
rope and the United States just such
a barrier as now exists between Eu-
rope and Mexico. 1t would annihi-
late all fixed par between New York
and London, repeating the terrible in
convenience in our European ex-
changes which we suffered in wal
times, when we were upon a paper
basis. The damage that this order OF
things would effect, it seems to me
the friends of national free coinage
have not sufficiently considered.

WAS A DOUBLE MURDER.
Killed the Same Night
His Wife Was.

CROWN POINT, Ind, April 21.-The
Inflated and swollen corpse of Barney
Ellwanger, the supposed murderer of
his wife, Pauline Ellwanger, was
found in Lemon lake, about a mile and
a half northeast of Cedar Lake, the
scene of the tragedy of thirteen DAYS
ago. A cash across the front part of
the forehead is disclosed as from a
blow. The remains were found this
afternoon by some boys, who were
out on the lake fishing. The finding
of the body spread and the remains
were taken to Crown Point, where
nearly a thousand people had as
sembled to view them. A telegram was
sent to Coroner Bell. of Hammond
and another to Ellwangers brother in
Chicago. The general theory now pre-
vaiiing is that Ellwanger was murder
ed the same night that his wife met
her death. and was afterward cast
into the small lake in the woods in
the hope, probably, that it would never
be found. The corpse was dressed in
pants, coat and shoes. The over
shirt had been removed and also the
stockings, and it will be remembered
that these articles were found in ELL
Wanger's house the morning after the
murder, with blood spots upon them.
