Judge Sherman had rendered bill to
the exchange for his services, as he
claimed, for securing the services of his
brother, Senator Sherman, to put the
bill through. Judge Sherman was then
United States district judge.
After denouncing the attempt of Mr..
Harvey to smirch the congress of the
United States as infamous, Mr.. Horr
said: "The people of the country-and
the congressman is no exception-as an
average, are upright, honest upright
business men. 1 admit that Judge
Sherman was guilty of a crime. That
was never in any way connected with
his brother, John Sherman, and you
know it. They exonerated him. Judge
Sherman resigned Immediately; they
drove him from the bench. But what
has that to do with the question
whether Mr.. Knox openly and squarely
presented this bill to congress. 1t was
debated in the senate for three days
1t came to vote in the senate January
10, 1872, and passed by yea and nay
vote. The senators from the Pacific
slope voted for it and Senator Sherman
voted against it. The Fifty-frst con
gress died with action having been
taken on the bill"

Come from the South and West.
New YORK, July 23.-J. Sterling Nor
ton, secretary of agriculture, was at
the Imperial hotel Sunday night. AS
to the outlook for crops this year

ated In Ohio.

CINCINNATI, July 23.-Since June 20
last, Game Warden Stun has caused to
be arrested twenty-eight people who
have violated the game laws by caging
birds of the red specie. 1t is not
generally known that it is unlaw-
ful to keep any native song bird in con-
fiuement. Mr.. Stun has several depu-
ties at work all over the state, and
more arrests will follow. 1t is esti-
mated that over 25, 900 birds have been
given their freedom within the past
year.

DEADLY STUFF.
Chicago Sewage Said to Kill Fish by
Thousands.

LACoN, ILL.,, July 23.-For miles on
either side the banks of the Illinois
river are fringed with dead min
nows. The recent rains washed Chi
cago sewage into the river and fish
of all kinds are succumbing to the
impure water, particularly hickory
shad, the food of game fish. The
board of health is taking measures
to remove the fish, while camping par
ties along the river are leaving in dis
gust. The worst is not over, for larger
dead fish are passing downstream by
the thousands. Saturday night an
acre of minnows lodged against the
pontoon bridge at this place and the
bridge was opened with difficulty.

~ Mr.. Horr read from letter of Mr..
g Leach, for many years director of the
mint, who took precisely the same
view, that the claim that the silver dol
lar was the unit Of value was inconsist-
ent with the bimetallic system. This
decision was exactly in accordance
with the facts The laws authorized a
gold dollar unit and silver dollar
unit different from each other in in
trinsic value. That was the reason the
law of 1875 was proposed.
- Mr.. Harvey, replying, declared that
Mr.. Horr had admitted Tuesday that
the silver dollar was the unit of value
e~and the record showed it, now he at
tempted to twist something back into
the discussion by which he was to be
believed as saying one thing Tuesday
and something else Wednesday.

y y CHICAGO, July 19.-The Harvey-Horr
debate yesterday was marked by con-
siderable acrimony on the part of both
speakers In beginning, Mr.. Horr said
he had personal explanation to make.
He quoted the following paragraph
from his opponent s'argument of Wed
nesday vs. s''
These principles are for the selfish
interests of money-lenders and Mr..
Horr is here advocating them"
Mr.. Horr said he took this as refiec-
Il, tion on his character. He continued:
Y Il am not money-lender. l have
no interest in any bank or other inst-
tuition of like character was raised
on farm and my first work was done
for $40 month. i used to dig bitches
for living and was at one time a
brakeman on railroad. When | was
elevated to the position of baggage
master it was the proudest moment of
,.,. my life. i. therefore come into this de-
bate, as my friend will find out before
he gets through to advocate those
principles which will be for the best
interests of the working classes from
,sN,which | come.
80 II desire to say, however, that | have
pTeJulllce dSdiusJ any lldn WHO
been more fortunate than l. do not
think a man is necessarily a scoundrel
because he saves more than he spends.
/ even go so far as to say man can be
a director of national bank and still
maintain his integrity"
-.E-s Mr.. Harvey explained that when he
- said Mr. ii orr advocated the principles
of money lenders, he did not mean to
III 1,
lender. He thought, however, in Civ,
ing the history of his life, Mr.. Horr
should not have omitted to state that
he had at one time been Il bank presi
dent. t
Before following up this line of argu
ment Mr.. Horr indulged in little sar
-, icasmiat his adversary expense. with
- considerable merriment, Mr.. Harvey
has told you," he said, ''that 1 said il
made my head ache some times tt
study financial questions, 1t would
not make any mans head ache to writ,
sGssucht superficial stuff as is contained il
,iysFtliis bools''
iRFaF EMr. Horr took up the question of th'
origin of the law of 1878. He said i
was drafted after consulting a larg'
ty- number of experts who were apt olSnov
= little more about the monetary ques
tion than those who had never studiet
it at all He denied that the bill hat
its origin in England or anywhere eX
cept in the brain of the people wh'
were looking after the coinage inter
csts of the United States.
Mr.. Harvey-By examining the rec
ords of the day and the newspapers w
find that there was an era of corrup
tion in con presS at that time. ClintOl
Colgate confessed before the ways an
means committee of 1875 to the use 0
money to influence the incorporation

struck that provision out of 1t and sub
stituted the trade dollar for that 3S4
grain dollar.
Mr.. Harvey-If you will show me
from the record of the proceedings in
the senate on that day that the senate
struck out that dollar we will stop this
debate right here.
Mr.. Horr-I have not the record. The
law, when it was passed, had the trade
dollar In it Do you deny that?
Mr.. Harvey do not.
Mr. Horr--And did not that take the
place of the other dollar?
Mr.. Harvey-No, sir.
Mr.. Horr-I defy you to show any
where word that substantiates that
position. 1t was n simple piece of leg
islation and bears that impression on
its face. The only men who opposed
that bill in the house were ClarlSson III.
| Potter and Mr.. Brooks, both million
aires from Wall street, both represent
ing the very men that you say were
| trying to impose that bill upon this
country for the purpose of aiding men
who are rich. Was anything more con.
temptible than a proposition of that
kind?
Near the end of the session Mr.. Hor1
pumped the main question: 'ought we
to again throw open the mints of the
United States to the free coinage o.
silver?" Mr.. Harvey was evidently TAX
en- by surprise, but stood by his guns
and insisted upon proceeding with hi'
attempt to prove that the demonetiza
tion of silver was accomplished with
surreptitiousness that was criminal.

tablishing Of dear dollar IN the place
of the cheaper one had put millions o
laboring men out of work entirely.
Mr.. Horr pointed out that from 1875
to 1899, when our only money of final
redemption was gold, our people were
better employed and at better wages
than in any other same number of
years since the government was formed
He disputed Mr.. Harvey's assertion
that from two to four millions of men
We're out of employment to-day.
Mr.. Harvey said, in regard to the
prosperity between 1879 and 1892, that
it was impossible to break down great
nation like this in one year. Don't, in
this debate said he, 'refer to the
prosperity Of this country from 1878 to
1895" A prosperity which, he said, had
built up multi-millionaires and filed
the country with millions of tramps
and paupers

swindling, he had about made up his
mind that he would be compelled TO
pay the claim The day of the trial ar
rived, and in open court an eminent
oculist, retained for the defense, ex-
amined the alleged injured member and
gave it as his opinion that IT was as
good as the right eye. Upon the plain
tiffs loud protest of his inability to see
with the left eve, the ocuiist proved
him a perjurer and satisfied the court
and jury of the falsity - his claim.
And how DO you suppose he did it.?
Why. simply by knowing thatthe col
ors green and red combined make black.
He procured black card on which a
few words were written with green ink.
Then the plaintiff was ordered tn put
On a pair of spectacles with two differ
ient glasses, the one for the right eye
being red and the one for the left eve
consisting of ordinary glass. Then the
card was handed him and he was or.
dered to read the writing on it. This
he did without hesitation, and the
cheat was at once exposed. The sound
right eye, fitted with red glass, was un.
able to distinguish the green writing
on the black surface Of the card, while
the left eye, which he pretended was
sightless, was the one with which the
reading had to be done.

GOING TO LEADER.
Frank Albright, Another Bright News
paper Man. Taken away.

Frank Albright received a dispatch
last night calling him to Cleveland, o.,
where he has been given very fine
position on the Cleveland Leader, one
Of the most influential papers in the
state of Ohio and the eastern lake re-
gions. While Frank was not one of
the Eagle staff he was always held in
high esteem by the boys for he was a
true newspaper man and thoroughly
consistent with the ethics of the craft.
hence his departure from Wichita is
regretted by them. He was one of the
best news rustlers that ever was in
Wichita and would go right into the
jaws of death for an item of news.
He had happy way of writing and dur
ing the last six months has earned a
whole lot of money writing articles for
eastern newspapers. Personally he
was fine companion and had hosts Of
friends. Mrs. Albright, too, was quite
a favOrite and will also be missed. They
will leave Wichita in few days.

GAVE THEM A SHOW.
Records to be Made Here VIII Not be Used
as a Bar.

Yesterday VIII Hewey, secretary of
the Fair association, received a letter
from Secretary VietS Of the racing cir
cult iE response to one he sent him con-
corning the records of horses at the
spring races. 1t is well-known fact
that some swift horses will be here at
the spring meeting next month and
their owners were a little bit anxious
about breaking records that would bar
them out at the regular races of the
circuit. Mr.. Hewey wrote to the secre-
tary Of the circuit asking him whether
il could not be satisfactorily arranged
so that records broken al the spring
meeting would not be considered a bar
and the answer was entirely SatiSfac-
tory. Now the owners are preparing
to show the people some speed and
some hot races may be expected.

pay any advance this summer, but in
the fall shoes will bring more money
