preston through the medium of the
drama. The man who has had the cour-
age to put his arguments upon the stage
is Mr.. Fitzgerald Murphy, who has
hitherto written along conventional
lines. His play is called "The Silver
Lining
The play was first produced at the
Chicago opera house some weeks ago,
and created something of sensation,
the theater being packed to the doors
the last three nights of the engage
ment, when it had become known that
a most daring play had been brought
out.
Mr.. Murphy acknowledges Coins FL
nancial School, as the basis of his play,
and on the opening night Mr.. Harvey,
the author of that remarkable work,
vas called upon, as he sat in the box,
to say something about the relation OF
the play to his theories, and he de-
clared that the drama represented the
spirit of Coin" most magnificently,"
and believed that its influence upon the
silver cause would be great
Mr.. Murphy is a young Irishman who
made play writing an avocation, when
his vocation was the newspaper profess
sion. He was for time OH the staff Of
the New York World. He is a nervous,
energetic young man, an enthusiastic
silverite, and believes that, although his
play treats of current politics, it will
nevertheless be great success. When
asked how he became interested in the
silver question as a basis for q play.
MIR. Murphy replied:

After six days investigation and eX-
animation of witnesses. Denver's cor
oner's jury discovered that the Gumry
hotel blew up and killed twenty-five
people. 1t says it was impossible to
fix the responsibility for the disaster
upon any one person, but that the own
ers, Peter Gumry and Owen Griemer,
were blamable for allowing their en-
glneer to work sixteen hours Of the
twenty-four. and for employing an in
experienced engineer whose habits were
dissipated and unreliable. The jury
seemed to be afraid to charge dead
man with guilt. and too sensitive about
calling criminal negligence by its
proper name.

In an address before the American
Social Science association at Saratoga
last week Prof. Francis Wayland as
serted that there were 100000 habitual
criminals at large in the United States.
To them he attributed the crimes of
train robbery, train wreSxing. highway
robbery, ETC., which were now so numer-
GUS in many parts of the country. The
speaker proposed the perpetual impris-
onment of such incorrigibles. The pres
ent indifference Of public opinion TO this
danger, he said, was varied by out
breaks of lynching, which we're natural
and yet led to other danger and wrongs.

There was a good deal of confusion
in Boston concerning the California
knights. One story was. that they had
brought 2,2OO dozen bottles of wine with
them; another said they were assessed
$4,000 each for expenses; and a third
theory was that among the members
there were 1900 millionaires. No one
seems to have hit upon the simple story
that the Frisco knights were accompa-
MED by 1900 little grizzlies.

There was deep cash on her hip

him on the spot. He cooled down
however, and was afterward arrested
for displaying deadly weapon in a
rude, angry and threatening manner,
and not for elf-defense.

The Currency Debate'

CHICAGO, June 22.-The Horr- Har-
vey debate on silver was resumed this
afternoon. Horr opened with writ.
ten argument touching the impossi.
bility of maintaining fixed ratio be-
tween gold and silver. AS result of
experience, he said, @all the civilized
nations had discarded silver az .
standard money. It was useless to
exploit long tables of ratios to show
whether double standard could be
maintained. The world had pro-
nounced against silver"
Harvey said he had been called on
by letters and kilograms to give the
statements by Blaine, Ingalls, and 9th
ers concerning the characterization act.
He said the words at his disposal in
the debate would not admit of 1t.
Taking up Horr's eulogy of Senat-
or Morroll, delivered on Saturday, he
charged that Morrill, erred in saying
that no silver dollars had been coined
for forty years prior to 1873. Harvey
read from the report of the Director
of the Mint showing silver dollars of
greater or less AMOUNTS had been
coined nearly every year. The fact
was that Morrill, was a bank stock
holder with a bank stockholders
prejudices. He called on Horn to
explain.
Horr said that Morrill, had not
meant to say that not q, dollar had
been coined, but none to speak of
had been. At most it could be said
that Morrill, had made a mistake.
Harvey, in his book, had made bad
mistake in stating the amount of sill
yer coined during the life of the gov
eminent.
