SCHEME TO DEFRAUD.
Mother and Daughters COnspire to
Beat a Railroad.

Mrs. Freeman and her tive daughters,
Fannie, aged 10, and Jennie, aged %,
were arrested in Chicago, the specific
charge made against them being that OF
attempting to defraud the Chicago, Rock
Island and Pacific Railway Company out
of $1,000. The three women tried to
work a new dodge on the company, but it
is one which, it is said, has been success
fully used by the same practitioners be-
fore. Miss Fannie, by much practice in
stoicism, passed herself off as paralytic,
claiming that she had been injured in an
accident on the railroad, and had become
paralyzed in consequence. She feigned
the part so well that the company came
near paying the claim presented. The

Con Get In Alone,

A couple of hours later up came the Bo-
livia of the Anchor line from Gibraltar,
Jan. %. itself with a long and tedious
passage to its credit. and il also gave q
critical eye to the slow-going express
steamer. Then La Gascogne was near
enough to Fire Island to make itself
known, and had up its flag numbers ane
three red balls az well. The Bolivia's
captain saw at n glance his services were
not needed. The signal was to tell the
observer at Fire Island that the machin.
cry was disabled. but that the steamer
needed no assistance.

$4,000. Besides these obligations
to pay gold there were outstanding
Nov. |, 1895, silver certificates in
the sum Of S333, 3,456, 1856. The di.
rector very candidly and truthfully
says that there is now 1921 ,229 ,532
resting on the basis of the Sl0O.-
100000, and it is difficult to main,
tain this reserve. 1t can only be
kept good by frequent purchases OF
gold with interest-bearing bonds.
all of which are payable in gold.
This is the best showing possible,
from an examination of the stub
born facts. As silver money must
be redeemed In gold, after that has
been affected there is but the pitt
Iul sum Of SlO,445,876 as redemp-
ton fund for an outstanding debt
Of SS2l ,229,532. To this should be
added the amount Of outstanding
national bank notes, of about $780,
OOO,OOO. It may be claimed that
this last amount should not be added.
as the banks must REDEEM their own
paper. But suppose that the banks
cannot get the gold when their notes
are presented. The government is
the indorser; it must pay them or
be dlshonOred.
The director informs US that the
AVERAGE value in gold Of a silver
dollar was l9 cents. The ratio be-
tween silver and gold was 32.5, in
stead OF the Old ratio of Is to |.
After all the efforts made by the
9oIdites at home and abroad to ban
lsh silver money, and the hearty
cooperation Of the president and
his cabinet, and the position taken
by prominent men Of both political
parties, it is a matter Of surprise
that silver bullion has maintained
its commercial value as we'll as it
has. Can ten millions in gold sus-.
tain the burden imposed upon it?
BY coming both metals at any es-
tablished ratio they become re-
demption money, and with an issue
Of treasury notes bottomed on taxes
we can instantly dispense with the
necessity Of a coin reserve, and
throw that idle pile into the chan
nels Of trade.
