The President and his Secretary of State
must be in a distressed frame of mind over
the rumors that have in some absurd way
reached these shores that ex-Ninister
Thurston of Hawaii Is an advocate OF the
restoration of the royal regime in the
Islands. 1t is SO annoying for one to feel
that maybe one has made serious blum
der. OF course, if Mr.. Thurston were a
royalist, if, during all this time that he
has been here as an Outspoken and fear
less advocate of ultimate annexation, and
of republicanism in the islands while the
United States is making up its mind to
accomplish this desirable end, If this thing
be true how narrowing must be the
thoughts now of the President and his
chief of staff when they contemplate the
possibility of their having deliberately dis
missed such a valuable adjunct to the roy
alist propaganda that they have been con-
Quoting during the past eighteen months!
They may have sent away from q field of
great usefulness one of their own set
They may have snubbed friend. Perish
the thought! 1t had been better far to
snub even Paramount Blount, or to send
rude message to their great and good
friend, Mrs. Domnis. OF course, the later
dispatches from the islands will relieve
their anxiety. They will learn in a few
days that Mr.. Thurston is still the straight
forward advocate of republican form of
government, and that he is far from plot
ting to overthrow the existing state of af-
fairs in the islands. This will take from
their minds a great burden, doubtless but
the agony of uncertainty will be very
wearing while they are being set straight.
Mr.. Thurston really should not allow such
rumors to get afloat to make the official
cares of the President and the Secretary
heavier than they usually are. 1t is
clever revenge, but is it altogether war
ranted even by the gravity of their Of
Tense against him?

THE GoLDBUG's SOUND MONEY.

| The cry. "sOund money" catches
| the ear of every man whose gains are
made up from what he can hold of the
money which passes through his hands
| as business transaction. But sound
money" although favOrite morsel of
expression with the goldbug orators
and writers. is found to but catchy talk
when analysed. Nobody ever really
knew what was meant by the express
sion. There are even Sound money
leagues in the country. One of the
distinguished writer's belonging to a
"sound money" league, of which he is
chairman. has authoritatively declared
that "sound money" is, first; that
whose market value as commodity is
equivalent to it's face value as money,
and, second, that which is representa-
tive in character and bearing little or
no market value as commodity, Is
convertible at par into money of the
first kind
In other words sound money Is what
you say it is whether Of inherent or
convertible value. The acceptance OF
such definition knocks out the whole
theory which it is set up to defend. 1t
sets the goldbugS by the ears and their
arguments at war with each other. If
silver were the standard instead of
gold would not its market value as
a commodity be equal to It's face value
as money! How many hundred
times have the gold standard cham

worth As money just the same as an
equal weight of uncoined bullion-or.

RECEIVER WILSON DEAD.

In the sudden and unlocked for death
of Hon. Joseph C. Wilson, the resident
receiver Of the Santa Fee, the state of
Kansas sustains a great loss. He
was of that stamp of man in which the
elements of justice, mercy and charity
were so blended as TO command the
respect and admiration of all who
knew him. In the prime of life he
has been ruthlessly cut off and is lost
to family, friends and a world Of Use
fulness. He was a man of honesty, of
faith in his fellow man, and Of the
highest order Of trust and rectitude as
an official. The writer served with
him in the senate of the state twenty
five years ago, ever since which time
we have known him only to admire
his many really superior qualities of
head and heart. Our last word from
him is a note of 4 few days ago, SO
kind, sincere and ingenious, such only
as one brother might have written to
another. Raised a Quaker, temperate
of habit and careful and conservative
in every respect and always, he was
the picture of sound physical develop
ment, and the announcement of his
death comes like a bolt from a clear
sky or the fatal shaft of an ambush.
Topeka has been his home ever since
his appointment as clerk of the federal
court of Kansas. Doubtless the duties
and responsibilities which the core
ownership Of the Santa Fee brought to
his shoulders as the resident and man.
aging receiver, weighed heavily upon
him. His death will in proving d shock
to a great number of prominent men
inside and outside of the state, will
be most sincerely regretted, nay
mOurned by large circle of sincere
and admiring friends. With him, of
his regretful taking off, it may Well
be said:
Here turks no treason; here no envy
swells,
Here grow 10 damned grudges; here are
no storms,
No noise. but silence and eternal Sleep"

BUT 1T WAS LOADED.

John c. Carlisle is out in another
letter. not only defending the couspir-
| acy of 1873, but maintaining that the
bill was not surreptitiously log-rolled
| through congress Carlisle now says,
! Kelly being dead that the congress
man from PENNSYLVANIA despite his
denial did know that the silver dollar
was omitted from the bill. Somebody
lies. very clearly intimateS Mr.. Car
isle The Eagle is inclined TO such
belief also. Mr.. Kelly said that the
bill which knocked out the silver dollar
was not the original bill but that it
was the substitute which demOnetiZed
silver and robbed America of her finan-
cial supremacy. The substitute was
passed without being read. Mr.. Car
Isle, also in his letter to GOOch. of
Texas, says that the bill as it passed
the house provided for the coinage of a
3S4-grain silver dollar as subsidiary
coin, and that this was struck out in
the senate and the trade dollar sub
Stituted. The fact is not so and the
record shows that it is not. The trade
dollar was never substituted for the
3S4-grain dollar. They We're both in
the bill together. The 3S4-grain dollar
was in the bill when it passed the
senate just as it was when it passed
the house. 1t was in the bill when it
went to conference. and there is moth
ing in the Congressional Record to
show when it disappeared from the bill
nor how or why it disappeared. The
3S4- grain dollar may have been sub
sidiary coin, but Senator Sherman did
not so understand or at least he did not
wish others to so understand it. In
discussing it in the senate he said that
the number Of grains in the silver dol
lar had been reduced so as to make our
ratio correspond with that of France
and the Latin Union, and that 1--WE are
providing that it shall float all over
the world
However that may be, unless Mr..
Carlisle can prove that the members
of that congress have deliberately lied
about it very few Of them had any
knowledge of the terrible significance
of that bill. Allen c. Thurman didn't
know it, James =. Beck didn't know
it. Neither did Conkling, Blaine. Alli-
son, Holman or Kelly. President
Grant, who signed the bill, didn't know
it. The people did not know it. The
fact was not mentioned in single
newspaper in the United States.
Whether it was done SurreptitiOusly
and fraudulently or not, the fact re-
mains that it was done without the
knowledge Of the people or of the very
congress that passed it; and five years
later, with all the facts and circum-
stances fresh in his mind, John G.
Carlisle stood in his place in the house
of representatives and said that it was
accomplished by means of a "conspir-
acy in this country and in Europe"
and that it was 1.-THE greatest crime of
this or any other age"

THE POOR AND THE RICH.

Judge Brewer, of the United States
| supreme court, by the speech before
| the American Bar association, has set
thousands of thinking people to talk
ing and writing of the propositions
laid down by him. They proved start
ling principally because of their
| source. That they have met with q
responsive Endorsement there is no
question. There is too much truth in
the idea which prevails among the
people that the law is for the poor, the
courts for the rich; or in other words
| there is no law the penalties for the
breaking of which need be feared by
the rich. The meshes of legal enact
ments which catch and hold the poor
are broken through by the rich. 1t
is as difficult to punish a millionaire
in America for the violation of law
as it is to punish the nobility in Eu-
rope. The king cannot commit 4
crime. And then there are the delays
of the law. Justice is not only a long
ways off for the poor man in civil cases
where his claim is against a corpora
ton. Criminals with money or in
fiuence can delay justice until the
crime is almost forgotten. From this
fact springs the mob which executes
without plea or defense. But bad as
it is in the matter of the criminal
law, it is even worse in the civil law,
where litigantS are kept out OF their
property rights for Il long series OF
years because one party appeals from
court TO court for no other reason than
TO protect the period of possession.
Justice Brewer has, at least, set the
people TO thinking of remedies which
