THE PROCEEDINGS.
Mrs. DaVidson'S Testimony In the
Police Court Re-Read Be-


Sensations were looked for in vain at
yesterday afternoons session of the coun-
Gil. At 2 o'clock the reverend body filed
into the lecture-room. The Rev. DR.. Sink
led in prayer, after which the proceedings
opened with statement by the judge ad-
vocate TO the effect that Mrs. Davidson
would not testify, having been advised not
to do so by her attorneys. This being the
case. he suggested that her testimony
given in the Police Court be read instead.
II am much in favor Of this suggestion" "
interposed DR.. Brown, "but at the same
time | trust that in case Mrs. Davidson S
presence is required she may be called to
testify in person"
II am unable to speak positively as to
that natter responded Mr.. Woodlands !;
though my personal opinion is that Mrs.
Davidson's lawyers will not permit her to
come to the council. However, she might
be called if it were thought necessary"
The chair would rule to that effect if
need were," remarked DR.. Mclean.
DR.. Brown did not seem very we'll salts
fed with this information but made no
reply. The judge advocate then COM

she would be questioned only on matters
not named in the statement.
Here followed long and tiresome read
ing of the testimony given by Mrs. David
son in the Police Court, after which DR..
Brown was permitted to offer in rebuttal
the cross-examination taken at the same
time.
Mrs. Thurston was the most interesting
witness examined during the day. She
told of humorous conversations with Miss
Overman, in which the latter had practi-
cally admitted an undying affection for
the pastor. Miss Overman told her that
the doctor had squeezed her hand, and
was at all times loving and kind in his
demonstrations toward her.
II told her to be careful" " said Mrs.
| Thurston, whereupor she replied: "How
smart of you to guess my secretn'
Then Mrs. Thurston recited in purely
matter of fact though effective way of nu-
merous confidential talks with Mrs. Tun-
nell concerning Matte Overman and DR..
Brown. She told of the Tacoma trip, in
which the much wanted Mrs. Tunnel ad-
mitted that DR.. Brown was footing the
bills, not only of herself, but OF Miss Over
| man.
One OF the strongest statements that
have yet been made against the pastor is
| that of Mrs. Eaton of Oakland. She de-
clares that on the Monday following the
arrest of Mrs. Davidson, Mrs. Tunnel
came to her house at l o'clock in the
morning very much bewildered and ap-
psrently laboring under intense excite
ment. She aid that she was going away,
when l asked her why.
"Dr. Brown and Matte Overman told
me-" she said, "lf couldn't stand up icr
them to get out"
DR.. Brown has atfidavits from all tn e
! lodging house keepers on Sixth, Bryant
] and Howard streets to the effect that he
was never there. This will be offered in
rebuttal OF Mrs. Davidson's statement
alleging that he and Miss Overman were
! constant visitors to one OF these places.
1t is said that an attempt will be MADE
/ to show that Mrs. Mary Davis is not a
responsible person. Mrs. Cooper is said to
have proof OF this in her possession, but
declines at this time to give any intima-
ton as TO its character.
The council will resume its deliberations
! at O'Clock to-day.

Senator Burrows said:

Bryan platforms they all unite in the de-
mand for the free and unlimited COMA &c

Mr.. Bryan devoted goodly portion of
his time in his speech of acceptance. He
declared that times are hard, prices are
low, and something is vitality wrong 1t
is not the crime of '73. however. but the
folly of 90, when Harrison was defeated
and the prosperity of the United States
destroyed.
Mr.. Whitney says: Don't talk about
the tariff But the whole difficulty to-
day is tariff When Mckinley is president
the money question will settle itself.
more silver dollars were coined dur

our history.
''Panic always accompanies free trade.

under Democratic. There is not a single

alone was $13,00O,0OO.

are so evident that new issue was nee
essary to give them even a fighting
chance before the people in this cam
paign, and so they say that in 1873 the
Republican party caused the trouble by
demonetizing silver. If that is so why
did it not show itself before 1893? We
were prosperous in 90, and the crime had
been committed before them"

The Money of the Constitution.

What wild talk is this of the "silver-

to the people of the United States the

The constitution prescribes no such
money. nor any form of money what

But if it is gold and silver-not one,
but both''-that they want, why are they
not contented now? Both gold and silver
are in circulation now. on equal terms
in larger quantities than ever before
In the twenty-five years since the blood,
curdling "crime of 1879 was perpetrateo
more than fifty times as many silver DOL
lars have been coined as i'll the eighty
years preceding.
The simple fact is that the United
States has very much larger actual
supply of full legal-tended silver money
than any other country in the world
excepting India and China, and larger
supply in proportion to its population
than any other excepting France, SPAN
and Holland. 1t has more gold IN clrcu
lation, actually, than any III the Wofld
excepting only France, and more proper
tionately than any European country
excepting Great Britain. France ano
Germany. 1t also has more money OF
all kinds in circulation. and all at par
than most nations of the world.
Less talk and more reflection would
convince these would-be currency re-
formers that we already have what
they talk of as ''the time-honored money
of the constitution, : in abundant supply
for every man who is willing honestly
to earn it.-New' York Tribune.

Francis A. Walker. president of the
Boston Institute of Technology, may be
called the leader of the bimetallists of
the United States, so far as man not in
politics can be called leader of move
ment which has become political issue.
He has been an ardent advocate of inter-
national bimetallism for more than TWEEN
ty years. He speaks with authority on
all economic questions, but bimetallism
may be called his hobby:

the present situation, but singularly APP

C,r;osities Of Orr Money.

Few persons are aware that silver GER
tifcates are not legal tender, though re-
ceivable for public dues. The fact was

attention of the postoffice department by

tifcates in payment of a money order
Thus. it seems, the government is obliged
to receive silver certificates, but cannot
nav them out to any one unwilling to re-

come able to legislate, they will doubtless

Mills, Not MINIS.

More truth cannot be crowded into al
equal number of words than is found III
this passage of Maj. McKinley's speech
in reply to a congratulatory address from
some of his old comrades in arms:
I do not know what you think about 1t
but / believe it is good deal better to ope1
M the mills of the United States to the la
Dor of America than to open up the mlnts OF
the United States to the silver of the world
This goes hard and straight to the
root of the matter.
Times are not dull in Pittsburg because
there is no mint coming silver or gold
dollars in that city, but because the
great iron works are not running on full
time, There was no mint at work IN
South Chicago when the rolling mills
were at work by night and by day, but
there was a wage roll of $6,OOO,OOO a
wear. 1t was not because of the activity
of the minis that Louisiana nearly dou-
bled it's sugar output. but because of the
Mckinley bounty. 1t was not because
the minis were more active in 1891 than
in 1893 that in the first year men were
striking because they could not earn
more than So per day, and in the last
were hunting for work at IS cents, and
for the most part, not finding it. The
in 1893 as in 1891. But the mills were
not turning out so many yards of cloth

come active. Return to protection, and

Free Silver and Wages.

A correspondent attempts to explain
how wages would be increased under
free silver coinage by asserting that
trades unions, through strikes and
other means, would force the price OF
labor to a higher standard" This is
sheer nonsense.
Experience has conclusively demon.
strated that wages, under a debased sys-
tenn of currency, never increased in the
same degree as the money cost of com
modities If there was ever condition
of affairs which was favorable to such
an increase it was during the Rebellion
We were not only on cheap money
basis, but the ranks of labor had been
enormously depleted to send men to the
front to battle for the republic. Yet
what actually occurred? Judged by the
purchasing power of his wages the la
borer in 1868 received only Is cents
where he had received a gold dollar in
1861 in 1864 he received about 81 cents
and in 1865 a little over &C cents.
But how do workingmen fancy the idea
of being compelled to resort to strikes
in order that their wages may have the
same purchasing power that they do
now? 1t will occur to sensible toilers
that if free silver coinage is going to
precipitate strikes, not really for higher
wages. but simply to keep the wages
that already exist, it will be the part of
wisdom to let well enough alone.-New
