DoNN SANITY INQUIRY.
Numerous Witnesses Regard Him Capa.
bic of Managing His Business.

Mr.. Oliver P. Dom, the retired dry
goods merchant, accordin to several
witnesses heard yesterday, was not in
his ordinary condition when he appeared
Saturday before the jury summoned TO
consider his mental capacity. The hear
ing was adjourned little after O'Clock
to give an opportunity to secure the pres
ence of Mr.. Grant and other witnesses.
The testimony is preliminary to that of
Mr.. and Mrs Metzger, with whose state
ments to prove Mr. Dom capable of man
aging his estate worth $500 GOO, the case
will be closed and given to the jury.
Mr. Ross Perry appeared as new counsel
in the case, associated with Mr.. Frank
T. Browning, and Mrs. Dinwidde, sister
of the principal, was present, having come
on from her home in Massachusetts. There
was some heated controversy between
counsel over several legal points.
Mr.. George j. Suter, a nephew of Mr.. Donn,
and Mrs. Suter, Messrs, W. R. WILCOX,
real estate dealer, o. T. Thompson, of
the District Insurance Company, Andrew
Archer, hardware dealer, E. W. Watkins,
and j. M. Berckhead, testified they had
long known Mr.. Dom, had talked with him
before and after his sickness, four years
ago, and believed him capable of managing
his business.
Mr.. Albert Ruff. cashier of the National
Bank, produced the power of attorney
given by Mr.. Dom to Mrs. Metzger and
said the bank was acting under it.
Mr.. Worthington objected to early ad-
journment because he had a case before the
court of appeals, but Mr.. Perry convinced
the jury that the proper presentation OF
the facts in the inquiry outweighed Mr..
Worthington's convenienceS.

INTERNATIONAL VS.. NATIONAL BIMET
ALLIsM

The rapidby with which party lines are
being obliterated III the contest between
international and national bimetallism
shows clearly that we shall have a silver
and an anti-siiver Presidential campaign.
IT would have been better to have postponed
this contest until prosperity made it i'm
possible, bat now that it is here let the ques-
tionto be settled by common sense arguments
rather than 10y appealsto prejudices.
National bimetanism would result in
sending gold 10 a premium and in placing
this country on a silver basis. With the
market price Of silver at 70 cents per ounce,
which lisa high estimate, it would depreciate
ourcurrency 20 per cent. This would initiate
prices 10 the amount OF the premium
demanded for gold, but in return would
lessen the purchasing power OF ali money
except gold, thereby increasing rates Of
interest.
Like every important commercial nation
the United States is now on a gold basis,
and its credit is estimated accordingly.
Strengthened by the belief that we would
remain q gOld-paying people, large foreign
investments have been made which would
be withdrawn were we to change to q silver
basis The result of throwing the stocks
and bonds OF foreign investors on the
market would create a financial panic
and in the general shaking Up that would
take place many apparently solid firms
would go down.
The worst result to be feared from such
a disaster is the loss Of public confidence.
Capital VIII not invest when the business
outlook is stormy. The experience Of
the last two years has demonstrated this
fact, and if we want its repetition intensi-
fled ten-fold, then change to a silver basis

Hall would seattle delegates and give room
for a large number of spectators. Our
hotels and boarding houses could provide
entertainment for all who came, and citi-
zens generally would see that our guests
were taken care of so far as a generous
and hospitable welcome is concerned.
The only question to be considered is
the inducement washington can offer
TO the national committees. The Board
OF Trade can best make the answer. Every
successful undertaking that has brought a
large concourse of people to this city has
been managed by that body, and il Presi
dent Warner and his associates will once
again lend their efforts Washington can
be assured OF both national conventions.

THE GROWING SENTIMENT.

ThegrowiEg sentiment againstlawlessness
IN washingt an awakening tothe
bad influence of the outlaw race track
Speak k-easies and other places OF disrepute
are receiving the attention Of our authori-
ties. and the public viii soon demand that
Alexandra County free itself from the gang
OF rurfians that disgrace its soil.
Jackson City would not be the abiding
place OF thieves and gamblers if the outlaw
track was suppressed. That place is the
magnet which attracts evil characters OF
every kind, and when outlaw racing and
buccaneering betting is prohibited Jackson
City viii cease to become a resort for the
scum OF racing circles.
Those interested in law and order should
call Gov. O'FerraIIs attention TO the law
lessness at the south end of Long bridge.
The fact should be made known to him that
Alexandra County authorities will not en-
force the law 1t would be hasty to accuse
them OF being bribed, therefore it is best
TO represent to the Governor that his Off
cials are asleep.

Observation-Disclosures would be held every day
after this month, instead OF on alternate
days with st. Asaph. This means that
the outlaw management wants to double
its opportunities to fleece the public
IT also insures a larger number Of
young men enticed TO that place and an
enlarged record of fallen victims.
Fathers and mothers, this should be
your fight The temptations offered by
these designing men lure many boys to
ruin, and the excitement Of racing stimu-
lates q desire to bet, which at such place
as the outlaw track is equivalent TO actual
loss Lend your influence to break up
the place that tempts only TO destroy,
