by the other side: denied by the other
side to such an extent that they went
to the trouble in this city of getting an
ex-1udge. an associate of bankers, to rem
der an ex parte opinion that silver was
not fixed in value in 1892, as the unit of
values, and telegraphei that opinion all
over the country, and it was reported in
the newspapers editorially all over the
country, and a professor in university
that Is built with the money lenders
capital wrote articles published in the
Times-Herald denying that silver was
made the unit of value in 1892, aud these
articles were copied in the papers all
over the country. And now we come
face to face with the other side where
they dare not mislead and in the first
joint debate in this controversy they are
forced by the truth to admit that 31T14
grains of silver was fixed as the unit of
value. Loud applause] by the action
of 1892 and remained such to 1873"
Mr.. Horr; "Who is admitting that?"
Mr.. Harvey: ''The reading of the de-
bate thus far will show that Mr.. Horn
has admitted it. Now why was silver
made the unit of value by that act?
This was to be a government of the
people, with its organic laws, its finan-
cial policy and its statute laws intend
ed to promote the interest of the many,
the poorer people. Silver was the money
the plain people used. How did they
favor it? They made it the unit-the
thing in which gold was to be valued.
"lhe silver coins were not to
be recoined or changed Silver
the peoples money-would be treated
as sacced. The unit would be undis-
turbed This was the intention of those
who framed our republican government
and our financial laws. To call in the
silver coins to use them would be a eri-
| Gus interference with the business of the
| people. To recon the gold coins would
not to any great extent disturb the mid
| die and lower classes who seldom handle
them. The peoples money was to con-
| troll the rich mans money. This was as
it should be. This was intended to be
the financial system of our republic, in
stituted to restrict the influences of the
| monarchies of the old world"
Mr.. Horr: II want to say here that the
! question of the unit have not disposed
of today. l am not through with it and
( as he has taken SO much time 1 want t.
| give a word as to why they recOined the
! gold instead of the silver The reason
| was because we had been on a silver
basis and they did not intend to disturb
the relation of money to the business of
| the country Gold has not been used and
they proposed to put the gold dollar so
| that it would be equal to the silver dollar
| the one we had been using and the one
under which contracts had been made;
and so they resolved to cut down the gold
dollar to make it even with the one the
| people had been using-that is the rea-
son and the only reason"
Here ended the first days debate.

CHICAGO MARKET LETTER.


Furnished by Topeka Grain and Stock Elk
change, Room ., Columbian Building.
Wheat opened firm at unchanged
prices, and was nervous all day. The
markets were influenced by crop damage
reports, and acted stubborn with the big
shorts, trying to break it on all signs of
weakness.
The returns from the northwest is
rather discouraging, and the extent of
damage is not yet known, but it is fig
ured that it is serious, and the marke t
will soon show the effects of it.
The visible supply ia now only Al mill
lions and Bradstreet's will probably re-
duce this considerably. The situation
warrants much higher prices and we
think wheat a good purchase on all
breaks. Corn and oats were rather quiet
today and shared the fluctuations in
wheat The weather is hot and sultry
and it is,feared hot winds will soon affect
corn seriously. This is no time to be
caught on the short side and for the pres
ent it is a safe purchase on prospects Oh
hot winds and chinch bugs.
Provisions were dull and quiet all day
with tired longs selling out and packers
buying pork. 1t looks like pork ought
to be a good purchase at these prices,
and at the prices hogs are bringing
should be at least $13 barrel. 1t may
go some lower, but is good purchase at
! thes prices.

HIS OLD NAME DID MOI SUI.
Forty-Siner Who Cast Aside His ora
Name With His Poverty.

The Honorable Amor de Cosmos. one Of
the first members British Columbia sent
TO the Dominion parliament, IS very Ill az
his home in Victoria The forty-niners of
California will best recall him under the
name of John Smith. an American. who
was something of a globe trotter, and who
was the hero of many adventures. lie
grew TO be well fixed" while sojourning At
the Golden Gate, and to wear an expansive
white shirt front about which a heavy gold
chain meandered in connection with flow
ing beard and locks that would put tn use
of the Poet-Scout Crawford TO the blush.
Comparative wealth spoiled him. and be
sickened Of the ancient family name Of
John Smith. so he sent bill 70 the Califor-
Ma legislature praying PERMISSION to
change it 10 the more modern one of Amor
de Cosmos. Such bills generally pass with
out any attention whatever. but in this
case a member who was something of a
Wag, moved as an amendment that the
name be changed 10 Patrick McFarian
McGinnis McGinty O'Rodrke. and this
amendment came within one of being car
ried.
Mr.. De Cosmos carried his new name
over the border to British Columbia, and
there naturalized Il. He left a record in
the Dominion house of commons of having,
on hlibustering occasion, addressed the
house for seventy-two hours. one of the
longest speeches on record there. One Of
the resolutions he introduced that created
some laughter at the time, was that no
man should be employed on the Canadian
Pacific railroad, then a government UNDER
taking, whose hair measured more than
seven inches. This was aimed at Chinese
labor. Mr.. De Cosmos hair was then sew
enteen inches probably. and the late Sir
John A. Macdonald facetiously observed:
THAT settles the cosmogony of the road
for al time"

The Be-t.Rnilt street in Europe.

Review OF Reviews.
Meanwhile. the street reforms ant me
visible improvements IN the ground PHI
of Milan are progressing steadily. As an
instance OF the new Improvement Work
there should he mentioned the Via panSe5
a magnificent ra7ial very recently con-
strueted. wh.elt leads 10 the beautiful new
park in the northwestern part % the cry.
There had long been retained within the
town, at the rear OF the old Castillo,
vast military drill ground. extending from
the inner 20 the outer lines OF circuit Sy
consent OF the national government. the
city authorities have recently laid out
large part OF this space as the chief park
OF Milan, and an area OF perhaps equal
extent has been arranged with handsome
streets, and sold for private residence
sites. This extremely valuable land has
brought into the municipal treasury a
large fund of money. with which variety
of public improvements have been insti-
ated or authorized. The Via Dante was
constructed as the direct approach from the
heart OF the city 10 the curved front OF
the symmetrical new park. Ii is paved
with wooden blocks on a concrete founda-
ton, is ligated with electricity. ana IS
traversed by an electro street railway.
But il Is more notable for its underground
construction than for its beautifully exc
euted surface; for. apart from the man
sewers. there are subways on either SIDE
OF the street, six feet high by four or five
feet wide. These suhways adtoin the front
foundation wall of the houses and make II
easy 10 inspect and repair the drain PIPES
that connect the houses with the sewers.
Within the subways are placed the water
pipes gas pipes, electric wires, etc, and
passages extend from them 10 the main
sewers. Ii is considered in Milan that no
street elsewhere IN Europe so completely
embodies the best principles OF constrne-
t.on-below the surface # not above-as
the new Via Dante.

ALL PURE GOLD Is YELLOW.
Combination With Other Metals the
only Cause of Other Colors.

During last week, when so much gold
dust was brought into Seattle from the
Yukon and from newly discovered Cook
inlet mines. there was quite a discussion
among old miners and expert assayers as
to the color of gold, and the possibility OF
being able to Identify that of certain locali-
ties by its color alone. There are experi-
enced miners who believe that they can
state the locality from which the precious
mineral has been dug by the color of the
dust. but this can be bat clever guess work
after all, and for this reason: All refined
gold, that is. gold dust from which every
other metal or substance has been thor
oughly eliminated. is Of the same color.
Certain minerals are found with gold in
certain localities, as a matter of course. and
these minerals give a different shade to
the gold in its free state. Yet even in this
state gold dust is impossible of definite
Identification. For instance, some OF the
gold dust brought in last week from the
Yukon was of a deep saffron; some was OF
dark brown. and some again, perhaps from
the same claim or from one in the imme-
date neighborhood, was Of bright yellow.
The color is entirely dependent upon the
amount of silver. quicksilver, copper or
other metals mingled with the dust.
From Cook inlet Mr.. Beede brought in
about 5000 of gold. which. 50 far as mere
color is concerned, may be said TO have run
through all the shades from dirty yellow
to deep brown. When refined into bars for
shipment 10 the mint, It was all of the
same satisfying yellow color II. Mayer.
of the Empire company has the opinion
that there may be mineralogists who can
state with some degree Of certainty the
locality from which certain gold dust has
been obtained but il is a guess based upon
their nice knowledge of where certain COM
binltlons of minerals are found and moth
ing more.
