To Be Hung.

MINNEAPOLIS, March 1.-THE sen,
| tence of death has been given to Harry
Hayward for the murder of Catherine
Cling. It was pronounced by Judge
Smith this morning.
Harry Hayward sat beside Attorney
Erwin, his wan face telling of the fear.
full vigil of the night just passed; of the
dreadful watch for the dawn when the
words of death should seal all but the
last chapter of his life.
At 1890 Judge Smith arose and mo-
toned that the defendant be brought
before him.
''Have you anything to say asked
the judge, 'swhy sentence should not
now be pronounced?
Hayward cleared his throat and with
effort replied:
Nothing, sir, except that I am inno-
cent in spite of the twelve jurors"
Judge Smith then began his sentences:
ut is the most painful duty that ever
devolved upon me-" said he, ''to pro-
nounce the sentence of law upon you at
this time. You have had in my iudg-
ment a fair trial. You have been as
sisted in the defense by remarkable
legal talent.
The jury has been carefully guarded
and kept from the public, SO that there
was no possible chance that they should
have been contaminated. instructed
them not to discuss among themselves
the guilt or innocence, or the testimony
in the case of the final charge, and /
am confident that they obeyed the or
der of the court. They were 10 men
carefully chosen and of upright hon
esty, and they have had, each one in
his own mind, independent of the others,
an opinion that you are guilty. In the
Judgment of this court, this was con-
scientious verdict of this jury. AL
though am not favorable to capital
punishment, as I told the jury in
charge, am not responsible for it.
am here to obey the law in reference
to it.
ut is with feelings that / wish I
could avoid, that pronounce this SEN
tence. 1t is ordered that you, Harry
L. Hayward, have punishment for MUIR
der in the first degree, of which you
have been convicted, be taken from
here to the county jail, and after the
lapse of period of three calendar
months from this day shall thereafter
be taken to place of execution fixed
by the governor of Minnesota and at
time in his warrant set, and hanged by
the neck until you are dead"
Hayward sat down unmoved and was
Inn nediately taken back to Jail.

A Thing OF the Past.

WASHINGTON, March s. The Fifty
third congress came to close Monday
promptly on the stroke of IL.
Fifty-six acts of congress thatreached
the president failed to receive his sig
nature before ADJOURNMENT and are
therefore of no effect.
The most conspicuous feature of the
last hour was the refusal of ex-Speaker
Reed to rise with all the rest of the
members to adopt the resolution of
thanks to Speaker Crisp. His action is
said to have been due to the refusal of
the democrats of the Fifty-first house
to adopt like resolution in his honor.

BOONE, Ia, March 12.-Between
and o'clock Saturday morning the po-
lice were notified that a row was going
on at the Chicago & Northwestern rail
mill, in the eastern part of the city,
and help was asked to quell the dis
turbance, which was almost a
riot. The rail mill has long been
resort for tramps, who would
congregate there and spend the
night. Friday fifteen or twenty gath
cred and when night came they got a
couple of gallons of alcohol and held a
drunken carouse. Charles Elliott, the
night foreman of the mill, was struck
over the head when he tried to protect
the company's property and knocked
senseless. The tramps drove off the
railroad men and the police were called
upon for assistance.
The three policemen on night duty
attempted to arrest the fellows. The
tramps attacked the officers and the
latter drew their revolvers. officer
Campbell, who was at the door
of the engine-room, was attacked
by the tramps in their efforts
to escape, and he shot one through
the heart, killing him instantly,
another through the back, wounding
him so seriously that it is believed he
will die, and a third through the hand.
Coroner Clark was notified and held an
inquest over the dead man, County At
torney Holmes conducting the ex-
animation After closely inveStipat-
ing the case, the jury brought in a YER
dict of justitiable shooting, and Officer
Campbell was exonerated.

IT has been claimed that
free coinage Of silver is nee
essary in order to advance
the price of c 1tton, but Gov
ernor Stone, of Mississippi,
in an open letter, calls atten-
ton to the fact that in 1859
90 when silver was being
coined free, cotton sold in
New Orleans for 10 80 and in
1689-90, seventeen years af-
ter this country had gone to
the gold standard, cotton
sold in the same city for TO-
20. The Governoralso referred
to the fact that the greatest fall
in the price of cotton was af-
ter the passage of the Sher-
man law in July 80, which
added $5O,OOO,OOO annually
of silver to the currency of
this country. In about II
months after the passage of
the Sherman law, there was
a decline of about / "a cents
in cotton. These facts go to
show that the free and unlim-
tied silverites claim a vast
more power for silver than it
has ever proven in any par
ticular to possess.

IT was President Cleveland
who when warned by his
friendsi in 1888 that if he made
the tariff question the issue,
it would imperil his chance
of election to the office of
president. The advice of his
friends was not needed, and,
as predicted, Mr.. Cleveland
was defeated. But the cause
of his defeat was four years
afterwards instrumental in
his denomination and re-
election. Thus it has been
proven that he was four years
in advance of his party on
the tariff question and be-
cause of his wisdom and his
boldness in having the
courage of his convictions, his
strong, clear and concise letter
On the silver question to Chi
cago parties, has caused con-
sternatiOn among the jour
nails that advocate the free
and unlimited coinage of sill
yer. They no doubt fear
that the people may conclude
that as he showed superior
Judgment on the tariff ques-
ton, his position on the sill
yer question is also correct.
Mr.. Cleveland has, because
of his record, the confidence
of thousands, it is therefore
not surprising that his oppo-
sers will strenously endeavor
to break the force of his ar
gument, but his sagacity and
record is such as will with
stand the onslaught.

A Miserable Farce.

If it were not so deplorably sad
and so miserably bad the spectacle
of the so-called Investigating Com
mittee sitting with mock gravity
and going through the form of re-
viewing their work would be ire
sisibly humorous. The absurdity
of seriously undertaking to formu-
late a report to alter the November
election on the basis of the sham
investigation made by the commit
tee is patent to everyone except,
perhaps, the biased and misguided
majority members of the committee.
How utterly preposterOus it is for
the committee to be figuring and
calculating how many votes to count
out or count in this or that county,
when under the rulings of the COM
mittee there has been no real inves-
tigatiOn!
The whole thing is screaming
farce, when, if carried out as origi-
nally intended, will end in irrevoca-
bic injustice and wrong. There is
not a man on the committee who
can defend the course of the COM
mittee. The unfairness of that
course becomes palmer every day,
and is every day more strongly con-
demned by the people. 1t is grow
ing into a monstrous scandal. If the
committee had the courage to do it,
they could end the whole miserable
business by making a short and ear
ly report declaring that the investi-
CATION was impracticable; that they
made a mistake, and that it is best
to dismiss the matter without fur
ther.ado, and let Mr.. Evans, the duly
elected candidate for Governor, be
lnaugurated Exchange.

SO raise the price of silver bullion
in a silver dollar as to make it
equivalent, at the present ratio,
with that of gold; but this country
only contributed Its quota in the
denomination of that metal. 1t is
therefore as unreasonable to suppose
that this country could, independents
ly raise the price of silver bullion
to that of gold, as for it to have
raised the price of gold bullion had
it been demonitized instead of sill
yer by other nations. Yea it would
be an undertaking fraught with OBJ
stacles more grave, because gold be-
ing the lesser in quantity of the
two metals and being the most lib
orally used in the arts, the gravity
of the situation, in the latter instance,
would be less hazardous. Com
binations are formed to give strength
and power in order to accomplish =
purpose that could not be gained If
either nations or individuals, as the
case may be, had acted independent
ly. This is proposition that will
hardly be denied. Among the COM
bine of nations which have demoni'
tized silver is England, France,
Germany, Holland, Austria, Italy
and the United States. 1t will
therefore be seen that the United
States is only one of the number of
nations that has treated silver in a
similar manner. All have gold as
their standard, and all have a great
er volume of currency than those
nations which have silver as their
standard. Now the question to be
determined is simply this, can the
Uuited States alone so raise the
price of 4f2 1-2 grains of silver as to
equal Is $40 grains of gold? 1t
is only reasonable to suppose that it
could raise the price of bullion to the
extent that it lowered the price of
same by decentralization and no
more. History proves that bimet-
alism cannot be established unless
the commercial value of the bullion
contained in a silver dollar is equal
to that of gold dollar and vice
versa. The difference of one cent
in the dollar will cause, when both
metals are coined free, either to
cease to circulate. At the present
price of silver bullion, the CONNER
cial value of the bullion contained
in a silver dollar is now about 40
cents, and the reason why its pur-
chasing power is equal to that of
gold is not because of the govern
ment stamp but because the govern.
ment is pledged to redeem the sill
verdollars with gold dollars. Should
the government be taxed beyond its
ability to redeem, not only would
the silver dollars lose one half of their
purchasing power, but all of the
gold in the United States, which is
about 5000, 600, 900, would be with
drawn from circulation and the vol
ume of the currency contracted to
that extent. The Importance,
therefore, of not oVertaxing the
ability of the government is made
apparent.
