current rates of silver the free coinage
of a dollar containing 4l23 grains,
worth in gold about 90 cents, gives an
illegitimate profit to the owner OF the
bullion, enabling him to take 90 cents
worth of it to the mint and get it
stamped as coin and force his neighbor
to take it for full dollar. This is an
unfair advantage which the govern
ment has no right to give to the own
er of silver bullion and which defrauds
the man who is forced to take the dol
lar. 1t assuredly follows that if we
give free coinage to this dollar OF in
ferior value and put in circulation we
do so OF the expense of our better coin
age in gold: and unless we expect the
] invariable experience of other nations
to be in some way suspended for our
peculiar benefit we inevitably lose our
gold coin. 1t will flow out from us with
the certainty and force of the tides.
What gain, therefore, should we make
for the circulating medium if on open,
ing the gate for silver to flow in we
open still wider gate for gold to flow
out? If I were to venture upon a die
tum on the silver question | should de-
a clare that until Europe remonetizes
silver we cannot afford to coin dollar
as low as 412a grains.

the keenest interest in public af-
fairs, and especially in the finan-
cial question, as to which he
wrote freely for the newspapers.
His very last article was pub
lished in Leslie's Weekly. In
this he discussed the subject of
the increased coinage of silver,
and warned the country that free
coinage would precipitate a tinau-
cial panic. His words have a pc
culiar and pathetic interest at
this time. We quote the closing
paragraph of his article:
Il am nearly lightweight years old,
and for more than half a century have
watched and taken an interest in the
monetary and commercial affairs of our
country. J. have no interest of friends
or self to subserve. | am standing con-

The prosperity of our country and the

that grave without giving this my last
note of solemn warning. If the coun-
try would avoid great calamity. let it
restore gold to the sole standard of

.1oHS FREEMAN SPEAKS.

From the Sioux City Journal
of late date we take the follow
/ ing extract from the proceedings
of the Republican county conven-
ton. John Brennan is editor of
the Northwestern Catholic, and is
we'll known TO many of the resi-
dents of this county, and he is a
man who is known to be always
ready to battle for that which he
believes to be right and for the
best interest of the people. The
Journal says:
While the committee on crede
tials was out, John Brennan was
called on for a speech, and, re-
spending, he said, in substance:

TOLD OUT OF COURT.

While the justices of the federal supreme
court are not as a rule absent-m:nded, at
least one of the number comes easily in that
class. Not long ago he went out of town
on a little trip. After his departure a page
found under the Justices chair a slip of
paper On which was inscribed the following:
"Mem.-Things to take along: One pair of
socks, one shirt, two collars, one pair of
cuffs and one Wife"
Judge Coffey, who used to be locally ia
nous IN San Francisco, had fiery red hair.
Once upon a time eX-Judge Bowers was
arguing a law point before Judge Coffey.
Il see around me- he remarked, many
gray-haired lawyers, whose opinions / have
no doubt agree with those | have just ex.
pressed to your honor-men whose snowy
locks testify to" At this ~juncture Judge
Coffey leaned over his desk and in his mild
est tones interrupted: Il have no doubt
you are right, judge, and your Difference to
gray-hatred men Is very appropriate, but
I'd like to remind you there's a red-headed
man whose opinion is of most importance in
this case"
One day Tom Logan, an Oregon lawyer,
and an inveterate wag, was arguing a case
before Chief Justice Greene OF the supreme
court of what was then the territory of
| Washington. Opposed to him was a back
NOOub lawyer HdHleu bTOWHe' logan CCI-
tinually referred to the counsel on the other
side as II his nam were spelled "Browny,"
to the evident annoyance Of that gentleman.
At last the Judge interfered, remarking:
NJ Logan, this gentleman's name is spelled
Brownie and Is pronounced Browne, not
Browny. Now, my name Is spelled
Greene, but you would not pronounce II
Greeny, would your" THAT" replied Logan
gravely, but with a merry twinkle In his
eye, depends entirely on how your honor
decides this case"
Down in Tucson, Ariz., In the Borrachio
club, they tell a little tale anent the dis
trlct court at that point. There are two
lawyers, distinguished barristers both, good
friends enough personally, who are ever
fighting with Words in the court room. A
short time agone the usual windy dispute
commenced in a case where everything de-
pended on a shade OF meaning in a statute.
Each insisted that his reading was correct.
Finally one, regardless Of the proper de-
corum OF a court room. blurted out at his
antagonist, You're a liar" The other
equally at fever heat, answered s~nappIly,
You're a d-n llarI" Then the spectators
waited for the explosion. His honor, the
court, had been somewhat wearled at the
discussion and slowly rising from its midst.
