SILVER LOGIC.
To the editor Of The Post.

To the editor Of The Post
During the "Great Debate"
Mr.. Harvery (Coin) speaking of
the Act of 1892, said: "Gold
was measured in silver" and
in his summary on page 524 of
G. D., said: "2. That the silver
dollar was the unit of value in
our coinage system fixed by the
act of 1892. Mr.. Horn admits
this. See pages So and 81,
official report"
But Mr.. Harvey (Coin) upset
his whole system in an answer
given to Mr.. o. B. Gum of
Kansas City. when he stated as
follows:
1.-THE number OF units coined
in no way affects the substance
of The unit being the measure
of value. You need not coin
a single unit. and yet, by law,
the 81 I a grains of silver could
be the unit of value regulating
all other coins, all compared
to it in legal and commercial
ratio. The act of 1873 made
the gold dollar the unit, and
now, by act of September Is,
1889, it is unlawful to coin a
gold dollar. So that we now
have a unit eff % 80 grains of
gold, and congress has said
that the minis shall not coin
any of them. But, nevertheless,
we have a gold standard, be-
cause the fiye-dollar gold pieces
are coined with reference to %
80 grains of gold being the
INIT of value"
Then is the latter is correct, |
what became of Harvey's pro-
position on page 10 of the g. |
D., "Tbat the silver dollar was /
the unit of value in our coinage
system in this country from !
1899 to 1873, just as the yard
stick was the measure oflength. |
That gold was measured in this
silver unit, and concurrent coin
age given to it (gold)2"
If Harvey's answer to Gum
is correct, then there was a gold
unit established by the act of
1892, and to find the value of
the gold unit all you have to
do is to divide the 247 4-8
grains (pure) provided to con-
stitute the eagle or ten-dollar
gold piece by ten and ) on have
the value Of the gold dollar or
unit. The same thing is true
with reference to the half eagle
or fve-dollar gold piece.
When Mr.. Harvey gets upon
the law and the facts he is not
far from correct, but his logic
IS absurd.
# the silver dollar measured F,
gold just "as the yard stick
vas the measure of length"
hen Mr.. Aarwey's yard stick
vas too short. See section 1 of
he act Of June %, 1884. 1t was

were really Protestant schools, and in
support, he read from the report OF
tte depar,nen. of education for 1888,
showing that there were religious ex-
ercises in the public schools, but that
the Catholics were not allowed tc
have their religion in the schools.
There was a horror of Catholic teach

teachings were. If he was to live up

quoted from Protestant ministers in
the United States who held that pub

Christianity He had testimony re-
garding the education of girls in those
schools which he did not consider fiji
to read in public, but he would show
it to any of the members who might
desire to see it. He spoke on the
early difficulties experienced here by
both Protestants and Catholics, owing
TO lack of funds In making their
schools efficient. He denied that the
Catholics had received or that it was
possible for them to get for their
schools a cent more than they were
entitled to.
Mr.. Martin read d long extract from
a speech by Hon. Edward Blake, on
the question of education, and pro-
ceeded to discourse on the shortness
of time and vanity of earthly ambi-
ton, and advised the Encouragement
strongly against being ambitious to
be the Mccarthy of Manitoba. He
complained that notice had not been
given when the official use of the
French language was abolished in the
Manitoba legislature, and contrasted
with this the course pursued in one
of the southern states where twenty
years notice was given. He COM
planned also that Catholics had never
been told that their schools were in
efficient and had never be1n asked to
make them more efficient

Shooting of Red Lodge Has Created
Great Excitement, and n Clash
Between Indians and Whites is
Feared.

Wichita, Kan, June ia special from
FL Reno to the Eagle says the shooting
of Red Lodge, the Indian who had been
arrested for assaulting an old woman at
Arapahoe, last Saturday, promises TO DC
come a very serious matter. anu may enn
in an outbreak against the white set
tiers at any moment. A mutual hatred
exists among the Indians and whites, and
the greatest caution Is required 10 pre-
vent ar armed collision. captain Wood
son, the Indian agent, telegraphed the
Eagle tonight inquiring concerning the
accuracy of the reports that the shooting
took place. and that it was wanton anu
evidently pre-arranged. The sheriff of q
county, who had the Indian under arrest
it is charged, took the Indian 10 base
ball game. and upon arriving there the
Indian took the assembled crowd for
MOB and made a break to get away. when
the sheriff shot him through the bowels.
Captain WoodSon says that Captain
Mackey'S troop of cavalry is on the scene
and that he has sent a detachment of In

and keep them quiet.
1T is proper to add he says, that l
think Red Lodge was entirely innocent OF
the outrage on the old lady, and that sew

his favor at the preliminary trial.
A dispatch from Arapahoe also states
that the Indians are very much excited,

No Progress Possible.

Washington, June 1S.-No progress
in the negotiations between the United
States and Great Britain touching the
submission to arbitration of the Vene-
zuelan boundary dispute can be record
ed since the reply made by the British
foreign office to Ambassador Bayard's
representations last January, to which
reference was made in parliament yes
terday by Sir Edward Grey, the par
iamentary secretary for foreign af-
fairs. Mr.. Bayard went as far as his
instructions from Secretary Gresham
would permit in urging the British
government to arbitrate the differ
encss between itself and Venezuela,
but the British answer politely but
firmly set the case back just where it
had stood for the last five years, and
amounted to a declination TO yield to
Mr.. Bayard's representations. II Of
fered to arbitrate the title west of the
modified Schomberg line, but would
admit no question of the British title
to the, vast area lying east OF that
line. Secretary Gresham had had this
very claim in mind when he wrote to
Mr.. Bayard as follows:
81 cannot believe her majesty's gov
eminent will maintain that the
validity of their claims, long in dis
pute between the two countries, shall
be conceded as a condition precedent
to the arbitration of the question
whether Venezuela is entitled TO other
territory which, until very recent
period, was never in doubt. Our inter-
est in the question has repea tedly been
shown by our friendly efforts to
further a settlement alike honorable to
both countries and the president is
pleased to know Venezuela will soon
renew her efforts to bring about such
an adjustment. 1t is not doubted that
you will discreetly exert your influence
in favor of some plan of honorable
settlement"
Now, from the answer returned to
Mr. Bayard by the British govern
ment, it appears that it ignored all
that Secretary Gresham had to say
touching the claim of Venezuela to
other tracts lying closer to British
Guinea; that it was not convenient
even to stand on the original Schom-
berg line, as the whole of the British
line, but would submit to arbitration
only the stretch Of territory running
down to the mouth of the Oronoco
and embracing the rich mining coun-
try of the Yuruyai as far as Guacipati,
which it had included in its claims
without notice and suddenly, by what
Secretary Gresham described as a
"comprehensive sweep" made in 1887
against which Mr.. Bayard himself.
then secretary of state, protested in
formal instructions sent to United
States Minister Phelps. So the matter
rests just where it did five years ago.
and it is doubtful if anything further
will be attempted by the state depart
tions from Congress at its next ses-

CATHOLIC SCHOOLS.
4 REPLY TO THE DEFENSE OF
PREMIER GREENWAY,
1t is n Wrong Insinuation That the

the government was afraid to appeal.
1t was a wrong insinuation that the
Catholics wanted inferior schools. He
claimed that the Catholic schools were
equal to the Protestants. and in some
cases far superior. A Catholic school

London, June 1S.-There was a

a meeting today in the City Temple of

association.
Miss Florence Balgarnie accused

Miss Willard made a spirited defense

CREATED SURPRISE.
SIR EDWARD GRAY's STATEMENT
IN PARLIAMENT.
1t is Not Likely That Great Britain
Has Changed Her Mind in Refer
ence to the Venezuela boundary
Question.

Washington. D. c.. June 1S.-Sir Ed
ward Gray's statement in Parliament
yesterday that Ambassador Bayard had
been informed that Great Britain would
consent to the arbitration of the Venezue-
Ian question under certain conditions,
creates some surprise among officials
here, as Sir Edwards statement is caIcu-
lated to show that Great Britain has ac-
cepted the suggestion of the United
States, whereas it has been declined. The
desire of Venezuela is to arbItrate the en-
tire boundary question, and the request
of Mr.. Bayard in behalf of the United
States was in this direction. But the an
swer of Great Britain, as given in the
Associated Press dispatches at the time,
was that no arbitration was admissible
as regards certain territory which Great
Britain asserts indefensibly hers.
though she oiIered to arbIJrdte concerning
certain territory to which apparently
Great Britain regarded her title as less
clear. The practical effect of this was to
reject the only proposition the United
States had presented. A similar answer
was given by Great Britain to Venezuela
five years ago, but was rejected as an
indirect refusal to arbitrate.
