Gold an AristOcratlC Money.
Topeka, Kss.

EDITOR ADvoCATE:--I want to have
my say on the great question Of the age.
Gold is an sristooratio money-moves
slowly and with dignidsd step like q
true aristocrat. Silver is a hustlsr-is
everywhere, where anything is going
on and oirculstss among the common
people and in the mRrts Of trade. We
are in no condition yet for constipsted
and slow circulating medium. When
the nation approaches maturity and as
sumes q slow gate, then q slOw.moVing
currency will do. When, like the an
tiqusted nations Of the Old World, this
country becomes finished, painted up
and fenced in, then q digni6sd and sris.
tocrRtic money will answer sll her pur-
poses, and not until then. AS yet We
are an undeVeloped country, and the
very first requisite Of such q people in
order to promote the development Of
their resources, is an active medium Of
eXchange,-in other words, plenty
Of money. To illustrate: A certain sec.
tain section Of the country needs rail-
road. It's people have everything nec-
esssry for the construction Of the road
but one. They have the requisite teams
and implements to build it, all the labor
required and the necessary supplies,
etc., but no money. They get q cspi-
tRlist to enlist him in the enterprise.
But money being gold alone, and ConSs-
qusntly scarce and valuable, he can sm.
ploy all his means in loans at q bigger
Interest than they can guarantee him.
Consequently the enterprise fails and
the country goes undeveloped; whereas,
If money had been plenty, both gold and
silver, the money holder would have
jumped at the chance TO invest bis
funds at q reasonable paying rate, in
stead Of lying in wait for q victim in q
tight place from whom he could eXtort
an exhOrbitant return. repeat that,
until this country becomes old and
wealthy and fully developed, We want
% sbVDdRnt and active currency.

pliCation repealed the penal law on the
same subject, which had been previ-
ously parsed.
The attorney general, in his opinion
to day.. takes the opposite view. He
holds that the law Of 1891 was, aud still
is, operative. The attorney general con.
tends that according to the contention
Of those who believe that the statute
against prize fighting is void on &C
count Of its declaration that tho crime
10 felony and the punishment OF q mis-
dSmsanor is applied thereto, the statute
would be perfect IL the word misde-
meanor could be substituted for the
word felony"
Following the doctrine announced in
one OF our court decisions, namely:
"That the intention frequently controls
the express language In the construC-
tion Of statutes, the court was ct per-
fsOt liberty to eliminate the word fel-
ony, II such elimination were necessary
to give effect to the legislative intent.
Il must be plain that the court be-
lievsd that the intention OF the leglBIR-
ture was to prohibit pEizS'6ghting. II
the court further believed the fact that
the Legislature affixed the punish.
ment Of q misdSmeanor to the
ofenBO Of pFize.fghting and the
word felony was inserted by mis-
take, IL was at perfect liberty to die re-
gard that W ord in the construction Of
the statute.
"Further, the validity of the act in
question is not affected by the revision
Of the code. The civil code passed the
legislature before the penal code did
and not afterwsrd. But, notwithstsnd-
ing all assertions to the contrary by
reference to the new revised code, it will
be seen that 1t specifically states that all
laws embodied in the revised statutes
which were in existence at the time of
its adoption should be considered to bS
a continuation and not "a new enact
ments.
"This law being valid, it ia the duty
OF the sheriff Of Dallas county to see
that it 10 enforced. He has the AuthoE.
ity and we will look TO him to see that
the law was enforced"
