SHOT

Madrid, June ga sensation has been
caused here by the shooting of the captain
general of Madrid, Senior Prima Reverb.
A lieutenant in the army named Clayigo
has for some time been paying his ad-

and today he requested her hand in mar
rage. The captain general refused the
lieutenants request and some hot words
were exchanged, resulting in the lieuten-
ant drawing a revolver and shooting
the captain general. The captain general
is still living although dangerously wound
ed. His assailant was cut down immedi-
ately after the shooting by an aide de
camp of the captain general. r

METALS AND THE GOVERNMENT.

METALS AND THE GOVERNMENT.
To the inquiry of the World whether
the government had ever extended to
any other product the consideration which
it gave to silver under the Bland and
Sherman acts, correspondent replies by
citing the free and unlimited coinage of
gold, "Preat both metals alike" he says.
How does the government treat gold =!
For every 23.2 grains of pure bullion de-
posted in the mint the owner receives
a gold dollar weighing 25.S grains nine
tenths fine. The government stamp adds
nothing to the value of the metal. 1t
simply certifies to that value and puts it
in q form convenient for circulation as
money. Everywhere in the world gold
thus coined and stamped is worth one
dollar.
Is that what the advocates of free and
unlimited coinage of silver ask to have
done with the white metal? Not at all.
They ask that the owner of silver bullion
be permitted to take it to the mint and
have the government stamp 81 IA grains
thereof, with the necessary alloy, as a
dollar of equal legal-tender value with
the gold dollar. But today 81 IA grains
of silver are worth about 50 cents. The
mine owners would therefore receive a
profit of AZ cents on each dollar coined.
They ask that the governments stamp
it's fat-shall create for them this addi-
tional eXchangeable value.
Is this treating the metals alike? Is it
treating the people fairly who would be
compelled to take this inferior money ?
Suppose that 81 IA grains of silver were
worth $1.04, as was the case previous to
1873, would the mine owners be ready to
sacrifice the premium and have silver
treated the same as goldY
What the free coinage advocates ask
is not that both metals shall be treated
alike, but that silver shall be stamped at
nearly double its yalue.-New York

Washington, and many of them pledged
support to General Harrison at home
stronger than that accorded by the origi-
nal Harrison men. BUT Judge Gresham
bore this without comment of any kind.
He was strong and self-reliant man.,
who made few explanations of his con-
duet and no apologies whatever for it.
In Indiana, as in other localities where
he was known and appreciated, the feel
ing has been that Judge Gresham was not
placed to advantage in the state depart-
ment. He was, first of all, lawyer,
and one Of the most downright Of men,
and had no taste or equipment at all for
much of the purely fancy fencing that
goes on in diplomatic office.

confederate veteran.
1t may be of interest to the readers
of the Veteran to know that st. Mary's
School, whose advertisement appears in
this number, was a place of refuge dur
ing the late war for the wife and chill
dren of President Davis, and that the
daughter of Gen. Lee was educated
there. In fact, many were the daugh-
tiers Of the South who were entrusted to
the care and protection of DR.. Albert
Smedes, the beloved founder and rector
of the school. 1t is interesting to know
also that for six weeks the Federal SOL
diers were encamped in St. Mary's grove
and that throughout this time the order
of the school was not interrupted. So
rare indeed was DR.. Smedes' tact that
no unpleasantness of any kind occurred,
even though it was well known that four
Of his sons had served in the Confeder-
ate army. Two of these fell upon the
battlefield; and one, a chaplain, the
present rector Of the school, was for
sometime imprisoned in the old capitol.
It will give pleasure to many who see
this notice who have perchance had
mothers, sisters or wives educated at
this institution, to learn that under the
present guidance the school In point of
scholarship has fully kept pace with the
demands of the times, its pupils being
now allowed to enter Vassar on certiti-
cate, and in point of straining its girls to
be refined and noble women, it has in
all respects fulfilled the hopes and ideas
of its founder
