GORDON GOES FREE.
The Presiding Judge Gives His Opin-
ion of Adulterers.

After bearing the evidence and
arguments in the Gordon Brown
murder case at Louisville, Ky, Judge
Thompson said: 81 have listened to
the case carefully and have consulted
the authorities. 1t is my deliberate
judgment that this man is not only
not guilty in law, but his action will
teach adulterers that when they ply
their nefarious calling they are stand
ing upon a precipice from winch they
are in danger OF being dashed at any
time. The prisoner is discharged"
This decision was followed by a
scene of wild hilarity, people throwing
their hats in the air, wringing the
hands of attorneys for the defense, ,and
yelling like so many hundreds of Co.
manche Indians on the war-path.
The attorney for the State said that
he did not think the circumstances
justified the acquittal of Gordon, but
he would not be able to say whether
the matter will go before the grand jury
until he consults Governor Brown.

MORTON WRITES A LETTER.
He Tries TO Educate Mr.. Cherry, of
Denver, In Finance.


Secretary Morton has written les
Ter to James A Cherry, OF Denver, in
which he says:
You assume certain propositions to
be true OF silver which are not histori-
cally true at all, but quite the reverse
OF true. The first Federal coins OF
silver were minted in 1894, and of gold
10 1885 Their ratio as recommended
by Secretary Alexander Hamilton and
fixed by act OF Congress was Is to l.
Only 821 silver dollar pieces were coin.
ed at the American mint in 1905, be-
cause the silver was worth more out OF
coinage than in it, and worth more
for export than for domestic money.
What was the matter with thoee silver
dollarsY Nothing, only they were too
valuable. May l, 1906, President JEFF
ferson suspended coinage of silver
dollars, which was not resumed for
thirty years. By law of 1884 the ratio
was substantially put at ! to 16. But
this was going too far In the opposite
direction. Gold was not worth 16 in
silver in the markets OF Europe. BY
1853 the disadvantages of double
standard had become so plain to all
thinking people that Congless wisely
determined to abandon the utterly fu.
tile attempt to secure the "parity" Of
the two metals, and to make gold the
legal tender for debts except for sums
of $5 and under.
The secretary next denies that silver
was demonetized by the act of 1873,
and says that all the demonetization
of silver that ever came about in this
country happened in the law OF 1858.
The secretary next tells Mr.. Cherry
that he employs over and over again
in his letter the two most common
logical fallacies that enter into the
speech of argumentatlve men every
where, namely, putting cause into
the place OF effect, and assuming that
because one thing happened after an
other in point of time, therefore, it was
the result OF that other"
"What is it," he asks, "that hinders
the unli nited circulation among the
people of silver dollars here and now ?
What is the sense Of clamoring still
for unlimited coinage when the treas.
ury can not get rid by hook or by
crook of 1.-THE OF those already coined
and lying in useless heaps? They are

bear the legend in God We Trust.
What ails them? | answer, and go
must you on reflection. There is no
demand for them. What more can
the law do for them?
att may be, my dear sir, that in your
study of finance you have overlooked,
in whole or in part the momentous
fact that all but mere fraction OF the
worlds commerce is mediated by in
struments OF credit and not by metal
lie money at all, whether OF gold or OF
silver, and that by far the most essen.
tial service Of money in this age Of the
world is to furnish steady measure,
as steady as possible, Of other valua-
bles, and SO help to exchange them to
the profit of both parties without any
actual use Of mediating money"

operation to illustrate that department
of the work. Just beyond the interior
department exhibit, in the center OF
the building, will be the exhibit of tn.
agriculture department. Models OF
the fruits of the country will be
shown, in many instances on their
original trees. Special attention will
be paid to the exhibit of orange and
citrus fruits, intended to, show their
methods of culture, their diseases and
the methods Of preventing and curing
disease in the trees and plants.
"a display will also be made OF
horticultural and fruit growing tools
and implements. In this connection
will also be made an exhibit of the
different soils of the country their
adaptability to different sorts of agri-
culture and horticulture. Plants con-
structed of wax will illustrate plant
diseases and the insects that prey on
agriculture and plant life, and the
chemicals and instruments used to
exterminate them. A full display
will be made of cotton plants both of
this and foreign lands, in fac-simile
models, the cotton and other fibers of
American and foreign growth, and
the insects and diseases that prey on
the cotton crop, together with the
methods of war waged on them.

logical displays will be realistic
models of the various birds and
animals of America, set IN natural
surroundings, showing their habits
and methods of feeding. For instance,
one of these specimens will be fox in
the act of carrying off hen, and so
natural is the model that it will take a
second look to convince the observer
that the figures are not alive. These
models are prepared by experts, and
will illustrate fully the valuable and
nefarious habits OF native beasts and
birds.

hibited the workings of the treasury
