CARLISLE SCORED.
SENATOR STEWART ANSWERS
HIS C0VINGT0N SPEECH.
The Secretary's Record on Silver Laid
Bare-The Crime Of 1873
A Strong Defense of
the White Metal.

Mr.. Carlisle's labored denial at
Covington and Memphis that he
was ever in favor Of the free coin
age of silver was Il sad exhibition
of the weakness of a great man. In
the course of his great speech for
lengthy he said
"As long as there appeared to be
reasonable ground for the hope that
silver could be raised to parity OF
value with gold at the ratio of l6
to by the separate action OF the
United States, | was willing to
make the experiment, but | was
never willing to make it by legisa-
tion providing for the free and un-
limited coinage Of silver at that or
any other ratio.
In his speech in the House of
Representatives in 1878, advocating
free coinage, which he is now labor
ing to explain, he said;
MY position upon this subject is
briefly this; am opposed to the
free coinage Of either god or silver,
but in favor Of unlimited coinage
of both metals upon terms of exact
equality ~
This is the full extent of the de-
mand of the bimetallists-'the un-
limited coinage of both metals upon
terms of exact equality" The pal
try seigniorage of three-tenths of
one per cent for coinage advocated
by some, is not of the slightest con-
sequence. That was the only quail
ification made by Mr.. Carlisle in his
advocacy of unlimited coinage in
1875 But ii he can satisfy the
people that he did not mean what
he said in his speech in Congress, he
cannot obliterate the record Of his
numerous votes in both Houses Of
Congress for the free and unlimited
coinage of silver by the United
States alone at the ratio of l6 to |,
On the 5th Of November, 1877, he
voted Tor the original Bland bill,
which was free coinage bill, pure
and simple,
On the 10Th of May, 1878, he vot-
ed against laying on the table A. j.
Warmers free coinage bill.
On the goth Of May, 1873, he vot-
ed for the following amendments to
Warmers free coinage bill.
"The Secretary Of the Treasury
is hereby directed and required to
cause to be paid out without dis
crmination, standard silver coin
belonging to the Government that
may at any time be in the Treasury
the same as gold coin, in liquidation
Of all kinds of coin obligations
against the government,
On the same day he voted for the
passage Of Warmers free coinage
bill containing the foregoing
amendment,
On the Oath day of May, 1879, a
free coinage bill was pending in the
House Of Representatives, and he
voted against Ryan's amendment
substituting the purchase Of silver
for free coinage, and on the pas
sage of the bill he voted in the

moment visitor manifested the least
curiosity or inQuisitiveness as to the
amount or source of so much wealth
they would close the conversation as
with an iron door.
Hawkins had money in every bank

any price for 1t. His wife did not know
one note in music from another. nor
would she have been able to have dis

Hawkins and his wife both died sew

months. The writer read 1t in a foreign

wondered II the mystery would ever be

kids and he had on a fascinating new
spring overcoat. He also carried a
cane. When he entered the car he took
a seat next very modest and attract

lady with his knee. She moved away
from him. but he continued his assault.
She evaded him as well as she could
without making a disturbance. until
she seemed to lose all patience. Her
eyes sparkled with indignation. She
gave him a side glance. He wore a
new eight dollar silk hat. The window
behind him was open. The next time
he crowded she gracefully raised her
parasol and the young mans new tile
unoeremonlously waited from the car
LUIS the gutter. The car was going at
a rapid rate. The hatless party yelled
for it to stop, but the conductor. who
had been watching him, refused to stop
It. He also refused to let anyone else
stop It, and so, after a block and a half
had been traversed. the young man
made a flying leap to return for his hat.
Four Greene street urchins reached the
place before he did. and when he ar
rived they had been generously anus

Hawkins suddenly became very init
mate. They were often seen drinking
and gambling togeather In San Antonio.
One night a man named John Sells
came upon three men who were busily
digging deep hole in the ground.
Sells. curious to know what was going
on, hid in the bushes and watched EN-.
The next morning Sells told one Of his
neishbors that he had seen Eli Haw-
kins, an old Mexican and a stranger
| dig up gold enough to load down a
jackass and two or three horses. Such
stories had often fioated about In that
country, and all that Sells could bring
forth to substantiate this statement was
a Dig hole In the ground on the banks
| OF the San Antonio river. A few DAYS
after this the old Mexican soldier was
seen In San Antonio with money enough
to bet $1,000 on a single monte card.
He got killed in a private brawl that
very night A few weeks after this
Hawkins started his big herd Of cattle
toward the west, saying that he was
going to Arizona. People thought It
strange move from the fact that he
owned fine ranch and was prospecting
wonderfully at the time. He did not
offer his ranch for sale, nor did he ever
dispose Of 1t.
Soon after this the report came back
that Hawkins had killed one of his men
out on the plains. There were circum-
stances which led Sells to believe that
the man killed on the plains was the
same man he had seen with Hawkins
and the Mexican soldier digging up che
buried treasure on the banks Of the San
Antonio river.
Now" said the old Texan, my solu-
ton Of the affair is that these three peo-
pie found an immense sum Of money.
Although Hawkins was rich in cattle
and wild land. he had never had much
money in his life. The sudden posses
sion OF bushel or two of Spanish
doubloons turned his head He did not
know what to do with IT, He was
afraid to display any Of it or at least
much OF it, in this country, and he grew
restless and DESTROYS Of getting away in
to some country where he could turn It
loose and no questions asked Possibly
the killing out on the plains was the
result Of a quarrel about the gold. At

secret and the gold"

dent, with the affair on the plains.
certainly unbalanced the mans mind"
Hawkins, upon one occasion, told me
that he sold a big herd Of cattle out in
Arizona. and he added in a melancholy
tone Of voice. that he almost gave them
away. One of the hired men told me
upon another occasion that Hawkins
