Apr IS So lyrw r
Bimetallism.

From the Shelbina mo Democrat.
John y. Knott, editor of the Han
nibal Journal, is undoubtedly right
and safe when he says:
"The journal asserts without fear
of successful contradiction, that BIZ
metallism has always been a doctrine
of the Democratic party, and that,
especially since 1873, has the doctrine
been again and again affirmed and en-
dorsed in the party's platform, both
state and national.'
And it is the doctrine of the Demo
cratic party now. Three-fourths OF
those who are called gold bugs believe
in bimetallism. There is a difference
about the method of reaching II
again.
Some seem to think that only by
declaring for coinage at 1G to / can it
be secured; while others, just as good
and strong bimetallists, believe the
attempt to force 16 to l a mistake
that the ratio is a commercial, not a
party question.
There are some, it is true, who do
not believe bimetallism possible, but
they are few. The effort to force the
ratio business on the party, we be-
lieve, is driving many to the gold
standard side. True, bimetallism does
not lei 16 to 1 or any other partic-
ular ratio. 1t means any ratio at
which a silver and a gold dollar will
circulate on al equality, with unlimit-
ed coinage.

PoPULIsM's DISEASE.
Hon. Josiah Patterson, OF Tennessee,
in a Speech Delivered in st.
Louis Thursday.

My ~countrymen, in this connection |
must enter a protest against that SEN
timent which has grown up in some
parts of the country known rs Pop
ulism. Whatever may have been its
origin, it is kin TO that communistic
spirit elsewhere found in the Republic
which threatens our free institutions.
1t is born of envy and jealousy OF
those who prosper in life. Its de-
voices, without self-reliance, or the
putting forth of individual effort, turn
to the Government, as a hungry and
helpless child turns to its father, and
begs for parental succor Instead OF
being inspired by a righteous indigna-
ton against abuses and a patriotic
purpose to remove them, they clamor
for governmental favors for them
selves. Failing in this they are easily
persuaded that all men who differ
with them are in a conspiracy to OPP
press them and that those who have
prospered have done SO at their ex-
pense. Our fathers fought to estab-
lish free institutions under which al
the citizens of a common country
should have a fair and equal chance in
life.
In the olden time the condition oil
wealth and poverty was nowhere at
tributed to the interference of the
Government in the affairs of the peo-
pie, but to the citizen himself. Wealth
honestly acquired was an inspiration
to the poor to thrift and industry, and
learning, studiously attained, was al
inspiration to the ignorant to acquire
knowledge. The history of the Re-
public is a chronicle of the achieve
merts of great men who have worked
themselves up from the field or work
shop to the highest positions in oul
commercial, professional, literary,
political, military and social life. The
farms are the nurseries in which have
been reared so per cent of the mer
who in our annals have distinguished
themselves.
! would not accept all the titles
which Kings can confer in exchange
for the joy which comes to every
humble home from the knowledge
that all things are possible to an
American boy. If he is poor, SO much
the better, for he is then untrammeled,
and, like tho young eagle, can soar
and grow stronger from the reliance
on his own unaided powers. To young
men endowed with energy, courage,
self-reliance and integrity, all things
are attainable. When any party or set
of men teach the people to rely on the
Government for aid to improve their
fortunes, no matter whether it comes
in the form of protection, the sub
treasury scheme, flat money, or the
free coinage of cheap and deprecated
silver dollars, it will result in their
enervation. Paternalism is the canker
which corrodes free institutions, and
should the American people, through
the instrumentality Of the ballot, tam
per with the sanctity of public and
private obligations by changing the
measure of value it would be an ex-
ercise of paternal power fatal alike tC
public and private morals, and, it may
be, to popular government.

CARLISLE SATISFIED.
Feels No Uneasiness Over the COndi.
ton of the Treasury-Gold
Shipped Abroad.

WASHINGTON, d. c., July 17.-Sec-
rotary Carlisle is very well satisfied
with the condition of the gold re-
serve, and therefore with the condi-
ton of the Treasury, inasmuch as the
reserve is its most important feature.
He is not disturbed by the excess OF
expenditures over receipts SO far this
month, for he believes that now that
the heavy payments for pensions and
interest have been made, the scales
| will turn and there will be an excess of
receipts over expenditures from to-
day, which will greatly reduce the ex-
cess of expenditures over receipts for
the month. The Secretary is satisfied
that the bond syndicate is keeping its
| contract in spirit as well as in the let
ter, and that there need be no I'M
e~asiness as to the gold reserve, mas
much as after the first of October,
when the contract with the gold syn
dictate expires by its term, it will be
time for the natural inflow of gold
from Europe, which will render eff
forts to alter the course of exchange
unnecessary.
The total available cash balance,
including gold reserve, is $685. 41,-
$50 less &6,73i ,59i for bonds and in
terest paid. The pension expendi-
lures for the month and the fiscal yoar
are S6,6Sl 900, making a total of ST.
206, 600, while the of expendi-
lures over receipts for the same per-
iod is s13,71O, 453.
1t is expected at the Treasury De-
partment that the receipts will in
crease, while the expenditures fall of,
so that there will be a daily surplus be-
fore the end of the month.
The renewed rumors of a new bond
issue find no countenance at the
Treasury Department, where it is ex-
pected that the administration will be
able to get IN without a bond issue
as well as without an extra session of
Congress.
To-day's statement of the condition
of the Treasury shows available cash
balance s191, O15, 6O7; gold reserve
s1O7 ,O4O,G87.

it improved the land by grading and
other ways. That as a matter of fact,
ever since the 9th of Septemb Der, 1866
the city has been in possession and
the rightful owner of the property.
The city alleges that the claimant
in this case knew that the land be-
longed to the city before he made his
claim; that he knew that the land
never belonged TO Griffin and that he
had actual notice Of the claim of the
city to the title. The statement is
made by the city that Sadler made the
assertion that he did not care If it
was the property of the city; he pro-
posed to get away with it just the
same. That the claim is a fraudulent
and void one; was trumped up for
the purpose of defrauding the city out
Of its rights.
The city further alleges that not
withstanding the records presented to
the court that the county records show
that this property title is in the city.
which the claimant well knew at the
time he made his application. That the
city has never had an opportunity OF
being heard in the matter at all. and
never at any time knew Of the adju-
dication made by the court of this
pretended claim. That when the de-
PENDANT, by his attorney, presented his
claim to the mayor for a deed it was
refused.
AS further ground the city sets
up that the court had no jurisdiction
in the matter and that the action of
the court is null and void and without
effect.
Petitioner asks that the court fix a
day for hearing on the case; that on
said hearing the previous order be
vacated and set aside; that petitioner
be heard, in the matter and that all
the pretended claim of the claimant
in this case be set aside also. and the
city restored TO it's ownership.
Upon the reading of the petition an
order was issued directing Sadler to
appear on Wednesday, May 22nd. and
show cause why the prayer of the pc
titioner in this case should not be
granted.

Important Suit Begun in Probate
Court.
ALMA SADLER, DEFENDANT
ALLEGED TO HAVE FRAUDULENTLY
ACQUIRED PROPERTY.
Case That Was Decided by Judge
Blair in His Favor to Come on
for Rehearing-LenGthy Petition
on the Part of the City.

Judge Hoge. acting on behalf of the
city, yesterday filed in the probate
court a petition, which is but the be-
ginning of one of the most important
bits of litigation which has occurred
in this city for some time.
On August u, 1894 Alma c. Sadler
filed with the clerk Of the probate
court a document, in which he claimed
to be the rightful occupant and lawful
owner of possession of lot 5. block 81,
plat A, the said property being be-
tween North and South Temple streets
and Fifth and Sixth West streets.
containing 20 square rods of ground.
Sadler represented in his application
that he became the owner by deed from
one A B. Griffin. and prayed to have
the property adjudged to him.
On December 19, 1894, Sadler ap-
peared in the probate court by his at
torneys, Booth, Lee & Gray, and Of
fered in evidence a certificate from
Recorder Lippman showing that AL
bert B. Griffin was the original occu-
pant. The claimant also put Jesse W.
Fox, jr, on the stand who testified
that from the records he believed that
the land mentioned was awarded to
Griffin. 1t was a custom, said Mr.. Fox
in his testimony, for certificates to be
issued in this way: This is to certify
that such and such a one IS the legal
occupant of the lot" which said certifi-
Gates were signed by the surveyor.
The certificate of Griffin purports to be
dated 1851.
Sadler swore that he purchased the
property from Albert B. Griffin and
paid the taxes for 1892. He would have
paid them for 1898 and 1894, but did not
get a deed.
Attached to the papers in the case
is an affidavit by Griffin, saying that
he settled upon said land in 1913 and
lived thereon until the year 1919; that
he paid for surveying the land and
never parted possession until August,
1885, when he quit claimed to Sadler.
The land in question, as shown by the
evidence, is a portion of the land en-
braced in the United States patent of

of the inhabitants of said city.
