WORSE THAN ROBBERY.
Engineer Burke'S Account of
the STEMS Pass Affair.
He Says the Profanity That Followed
the Discovery of the Blunder
Was Awful.

In all the history of train robbery
there was never anything SO funny as
the holdup of Southern Pacific express
No. 20 at STEMS pass on Monday
night. The righteousness of it was
overlooked at the time in the
general excitement which prevail
ed and even when the train reach
ed Maricopa yesterday no two of the
passengers could agree upon one YER
sion of the affair.
Jacky Burke, the engineer, is natur
ally a humorous person and conse
quently very cool person 80 that his
story is acceptable. He says that
when the robbers mounted the engine
and directed the cutting loose from the
train everything was done with alacritv
and strictly according to instructions.
After running about three miles the
robbers ordered stop and handing
him bag told him to get out and fill it
with stones and gravel. Mr.. Burke
began to suppose that he had fallen into
the hands of escaped lunatics instead OF
train robbers. He had read extensively
about robbers but this proceeding DOS
sessed puzzling novelty. His curios-
ity prompted him to inquire, whats
that ior?" A robber explained that
the bag OF gravel was to be placed on
top of the safe to offer greater resist
ance to the dynamite. "But we don't
carry any safe in the cab," remarked
Mr.. Burke ';or do you mean that safe in
the express car we abandoned three
miles up the track ?" The robber was
evidently man who does not speak
hastily; his words are chosen with care
and precision. He naturally remained
in silence and meditation, running
through his voca bulary to find some
thing to match the situation in warmth
of color and when he did open his mouth
to talk he was fully prepared. Mr.
Burke says his language was awful to
hear and thoroughly demoralizing. He
damned everything about the Southern
Pacific system from Mr.. Huntington to
the section hands. Every foot of the
road was cursed from San Francisco to
New Orleans and be wandered off on
some of the branch lines. The bridges
and rolling stock were touched with
wierd profanity. The longer he swore
the more eloquent and blasphemous he
became until Mr.. Burke got to think
ing that an actual train robbery was a
religious rite in comparison with that
kind of profanity. The robber wound
up by cursing himself and his associates
and there seemed nothing else to swear
about without falling into the reprehen-
sibe ha bit of reiteration. The robbers
then mounted their horses which were
hitched near by and rode off.

Which Was the Brute :?

AS good an example of human in
justice as could easily be found was re-
vealed in remark made by a man who
was recently run over on the street by
a cabman. The injured man was asked
if he knew the claimants number, and
answered: mo, couldn't see; but l
got even with the brute. Just as he
was driving away l hit his horse a
fearful blow with my cane, and 1
shouldn't wonder if it would lame
him."

THE PRECIOUS METALS.


Some Facts - to Their Productfon-what
Demonetization Has Brought About.
Secretary Morton's lettor to James
A. Cherry, OF Denver, can hardly be
considered a valuable addition to the
literature of finance. Mr.. Morton con-
slider that the fact that silver dollars
were not much in use prior to 1878 may
be employed as an argument against
the bimetallic principle An essential
condition of bimetallism is that the
debtor shall have the option of pay
ment in either metal Naturally the
debtor will pay in the cheaper metal.
There might be period OF years in
which the bulk of redemption will be
effected in money of one metal But
during all this period the money of the
two metals is money of ultimate re-
demption. The greatest use of the
cheaper will, if the ratio be approx
mately true, equalize in time the COM
mercial value of the bullion in the dol
lar of the two metals Previous to
1873 there had been a period of excess
sive gold production. The consequence
was that gold was the principal metal
lie money in sight The government
was not redeeming its paper
in money of either metal.
but all it's bonds and all it's
currency were payable in coin of either
metal. Soon after 1873 silver period
set in. The worlds product of silver
in 1870 was $51, 575, 900. In the same
year the worlds product of gold was
S1O6, $50. 900. It was not until 1882 that
the worlds product of silver became
equal to the worlds product of gold.
From 1882 until 1882 silver forged
rapidly ahead. There was, however,
no greater difference in favor of silver
than there had been in the gold period
in favor of gold.
In 1892 the silver produced was $780,
ass, 900 and the gold produced S13S, S61,-
SITS. 500, 900. the gold produced S101,-
100000. In 1886 it was silver $3.50, 0OO,-
600, gold SiO6, 600, 900. It was only in
1889 and the three succeeding years
that the silver produced exceeded the
gold product by the amount the gold
product exceeded the silver product in
1870 The silver product for the twenty
two years was Se.51s, 962, 900, the gold
product for the same period was So, 49,
955, 900. There is nothing in the natu
raj law of demand and supply that
should have caused considera BILE de-
probation of silver in the period under
consideration. But statute law stepped
in in 1873 and reduced the demand.
From 1873 to 1873 no silver dollars were
coined. After 1878 the coinage was
So, 600. 600 month, an amount that cut
little figure in creating demand for
the natural supply. And yet the bur-
den of the gold argument is that the
cause of the depreciation of silver was
its excessive production. If the coin
age law in force in 1873 had not been
tempered with the increase in the
product of silver during the period
named would without doubt have
cheapened silver bullion SO that it
would have been presented at the mint
for coinage. In that case both silver
money and gold money would have
been money of ultimate redempt ion.
The one which might be shade cheap
er at the time would have been paid in
the redemption of currency and in pay
ment on account of public debts San

Those who favor the free coinage of
silver favor the free coinage of both

RESTORE SILVER.
The Friends of the White Metal Will Yet
Whip Out All Opposition.

The Friends of the White Metal Will Yet
Whip Out All Opposition.
In referring to an argument against
bimetallism in New York gold stand
ard paper, the Atlanta Constitution
asserts that it is a perversion of fact to
say that in 1884 this country, having to
choose between gold and silver, chose
gold. 1t is likewise a perversion of
fact to say that the change in ratio
made in 1884 gave this country gold
recommendation It was not the inten-
ton of congress to undervalue silver
by reducing the number of grains in
gold coins What happened then was
in perfect accord with tho theory and
practice of bimetallism. The joint
standard has been happily described as
the alternating standard. When, for
any reason, one of the metals becomes
too valuable to be used as money. the
cheaper metal comes in to take its
place. The result is that there is no
dislocation of prices and values. II
France and the other bimetallic ma
tions had been coming silver at a ratio
Of 16 to 1. our silver would not have
been exported after 1884. But France
was coming at the ratio of 15I to l
and consequently our silver went to
the French minis, where it Command
ed a premium of half an ounce in every
sixteen, as compared with the mint
price in this country.
But this fact. instead of being an ar
gument against bimetallism, shows
that France, valuing silver higher than
the United States, was able to bear
the whole burden and to keep the value
of the two metals level at the ratio of
15E to 1. For eighty years the varia-
tons in the commercial value of the
two metals were not more than per
cent. from the mint ratio. In fine. the
variations between the two metals
were inappreciable in business transac-
tions, and were exceeded by the fuctu-
ations in exchange.
The programme of the bimetallists is
to pass legislation that will affect the
value of silver, and, by restoring the
demand for that metal as money, to
make an ounce of it worth 81. 90 at the
minis and in the markets. Prices have
not been measured in gold for sixty
years. For eighty-one years. or from
1902 to 1879, prices were on a bimetallic
basis. What the people desire is to re-
store this bimetallic basis even at the
risk of offending the gold-bugs and
their organs.
There is no longer any doubt as to
what the verdict of the people will be.
They will whip out the tories, and re-
store silver to its old place as part of
the money of the constitution.
