SILVER AND SAVINGS BANKS.
Free Coinage Would Have the Effect of

Free Coinage Would Have the Effect of
Wiping Out One-half the Deposits.
A tailor who should insist on his Gus
toner accepting suit Of clothes worth
only half as much as the one paid for
would be considered either fool or a
rogue. The agitators for debased cur
rency which would permit debtors to
pay their creditors in dollars worth one
half of those they borrowed need not
complain if plain people use plain Ian
guage in speaking Of their scheme. The
silverites claim they are being unfairly
abused when they are called dishonest or
repudiators A single illustration will
show whether they are not correctly de-
scribed.
There are in the various savings
banks Of this country deposits amount
ing to 81, $50, 744,O00. This large sum
represents the little savings Of years by
working men and women, small bust
ness men and farmers. On the passage
Of a free coinage law these deposits
would be payable in silver dollars worth
only 50 cents and having purchasing
power one-haH less than our present
dollar. AS the banks keep very little
money on hand they would not be able
to pay their depositors in gold, even
though they wished, as their loans would
be payable in silver, and Of course their
debtors would pay in the cheap dollars.
The result would infallibly be that one.
half of the entire savings bank deposits
of the country would be wiped out,
practically stolen from their owners and
given to those who had borrowed them.
Would not this be dishonest? Is it not
simple reputation? And, if SO, what
are the men who advocate it?

Romance in Real Life.

Last "Wednesday, says London ex-
change, north-cOuntry merchant
found that his wife had left his house
with their only boy, a lad of about 6
years of age, of whom he was pas
siOnately fond. On mixing nIIiries
he found that the boy and lady, with
a gentleman, had booked for London,
and, with friend, the husband start
ed off in hot pursuit. 1t was finally
known to the husband that they had
gone to Southampton. Thither he,
too, went, and determined to pIt up at
hotel close to the station and docks,
so as to be able TO make full inquiries.
Dinner was ordered in the coffee room,
where there was a large company
present, and just rs the husband and
his friend entered voice was heard
gladly shouting "Here's dada" The
lad jumped from his chair and rushed
to the merchant, who suddenly seized
him, kissed him, and rushed away
with him, leaving the wife and her
lover TO conclude the repast.

New Trials In Criminal Cases.

From the ST. Louis Globe-DemOcrat
There is a growing feeling that sOcie-
ty would be benefited and the cause of
justice promoted if motions for new
trials i'm criminal cases were entirely
prohibited. Ii is notorious fact that
i'm 80 instances out of 100 such motions
are made upon frivolous grounds and
for the purpose of preventing the en-
forcement of the laws. There is no
reason to believe that errors justifying
new trials are committed except at rare
intervals but in almost every case of
conviction a motion for new trial is
Immediately entered, and il must be
acknowledged that the courts are far
too willing to grant them, a. matter
of habit rather than because there are
good reasons for such action. Ben
Butter used to say that when prison.
er whom he was defending was found
guilty, it was only the beginning Ofthe
case with him; there Were so many
ways of prolonging it, with chance
of ultimate success; and this is the
general theory and practice of criminal
lawyers, providing there is money in
sight to pay fees. So many culprits
have escaped deserved punishment in
this way that society has right to
protest against such perversion of the
means of justice to unworthy and mis-
chievous uses.
The Judge who overruled a motion
for new trial the other day in the case
of Hinshaw, the Indiana murderer,
presented the matter in very clear
light. If it be true, he pointed out,
that upon such a motion the judge
must weigh the evidence and deter
mine the facts as did the jury, and if
he fails to reach the same conclusion
upon some material fact and grants a
new trial, there is nothing gained by
submitting it to IA jury in the first in
stance. The idea of thus discrediting
and reversing the verdict of a jury, he
declared, is i'm conflict with the idea,
confirmed by the wisdom and expe-
rience of centuries, that trial by jury Is
the surest and safest method of admin
Etering justice. 50 well is the prin
cip!e grounded" he went on to say,
'that our legislature has provided that
man charged with murder cannot
submit his trial to court without a
jury, even after agreement between the
prosecutor and himself; only jury Of
twelve men can try him" The theory
of the jury system is that the verdict Of
twelve honest and disinterested men,
after full hearing of the evidence and
arguments on both sides, is As apt to be
right as can be expected and this
theory is antagonized and practically
repudiated every time a new trial is
granted. 1t is conceivable, of course,
that there are eases now and then in
which gross errors entitle the accused
parties to new trials but the eXcep-
tons are very few to the rule that jury
verdicts are correct and ought to stand.
