The State Journal has received word
from Atchison that Senator ingalls, de-
MES in toto the letter purporting TO have
been printed in the New York Journal
of June II, in which he says Mckinley
is sure TO be beaten.
If it is true that Senator ingalls, did
not write that letter, the State Journal
owes him a most cOmIIete apology
for its hare in the unfortunate mistake
The State Journal found the letter in
Senator Stewards paper, the Silver
Knight. apparently taken from the
New York Journal and dated St. Louis
June II, and signed John ]. Ingalls,. q"
Senator ingalls, says:
THE letter is a forgery from date to
signature. There is not a word in il

ting something l wrote from Washing
ton two months ago. 1 have not been
in Washington for five years. 1t is the
most impudent and mendacious thing
I ever heard of and I have telgraphed
the district attorney at Washington to
begin criminal proceedings against the
author and publisher.
In a talk today with a reportsr for
the Atchison Globe, ex-senator In
gals further says he believes the publ
cation of this article is part of a plan
TO misrspresent him and do him UP. He
says no such article from him ever ap-
peared in the New York Morning Jour
mel. He belitves the article originated
in the office of a Washington paper.
The origin of the matter certainly
needs an explanation and that at once.

WE HAVE ABSOLUTE BIMETALLIsM.

There Is great misapprehension among
tht people about the meaning OF the decia-
ration of the Republican financial plat
form this year for the maintenance Of
the present gold standard" There are
many misinformed men who reiterate the
trite @bus-a-boo'' that his country has
been upon a gold standard since 1S43."
There never was a gold standard IN the
history of the United States, in our gen.
eral commerce, except from 1873 to 1873.
From 1873 to 1876 the legal tender OF the
silver dollar was limited 10 s. from 1875 to
1873 IL was limited to so. Beginning with
1875 the silver dollar has been an unlimit-
ed legal tender for all debts, both public
and private and so in 1873, the country
again started upon a bimetallic standard:
John Sherman, in his report as secretary
of the treasury on Dec. 2, 1878, said TO con-
gress:
WIN the resumption passed, gold was
the only coin which, by law, was a legal
ender in payment of all debts. That act
contemplated resumption in gold only.
No silver coin of fun legal tender could
then be lawfully used The only silver
coin was fractional coin, which was
legal tender for - only. The act APPROX
ed Feb. q, 1873, made a very important
change in our system, when the silver
dollar provided for was made a legal en-
der for all debts. pubic and private, ex-
iept where otherwise expressly stipulated
in the contract the law itself
clearly shows that the silver dollar was
not to suDercede the gold dollar; nor did
congress propose TO adopt the single stand
ard Of silver, but only to create a bime-
tallic standard of silver and gold OF equal
value and equal purchasing power"

EXIT FANCY HOTEL RATES.

The general tendency toward econo-
my in living expenses is a hopeful sign
of the times. 1t may be due mostly TO
the scarcity of money, but there are
| evidences that both the habit and the
| sentiment are growing among the
wealthy class as well as those who
/ lack the funds TO spend for luXuries.
| 1t is true we have the very wealthy
who spend their millions for show and
| luxurieS in excess of all natural de-
mands, but they are few. There is not
much larger class Of thrifty, well-to-
! do people who have means to spare
! for high priced luxuTfes, but who are
acquiring the habit of counting the
cost and drawing the line at a profit
gate waste of money. There is Do
better illustration of this than the fall
ing OFF in patronage of so-called first
class hotels. These palaces of public
entertainment are not built for the
peOr. The Old-time schedule of prices
were such as to exclude all classes of
people who are forced to practice econ
omy, hence their maintenance depends
upon the custom of the few rich and
the very large proportion of travellers
who have money to spend. That this
class of hotel property is growing less
desirable every year is plain to any
one acquainted with the facts. Almost
every city in the middle and western
states has one or more of these great
white elephant hotels. running at a
loss to the owners, yet tit for nothing
else. The story of wreckage and
bankruptcy, involving the fortune of
the most enterpTiSing citizen is duph-
Gated with u marked sameness in all
these large cities. Salt Lake City,
Denver, Omaha. Kansas City, Mime
apOliS and even Chicago and each
supply sample of these monuments Of
folly.
There is a reason for this falling off
in patronage, and the difficulty viii
soon regulate itself. Sensible people
have learned that it is useless waste
TO spend a weeks income for a days
board They have learned that 50 to
IS a day is out of all proportion TO
the needs or comfort of a single guest,
even when the service is the very best.
The result is that travellers seek cheap
err accommodations, leaving the great
hotels empty, or tenanted only by the
very few TO whom the price is no OBJ
iect- This change has driven most of
these fine hoStleries TO the adoption
Of the European plan. This reduces
the extortion to the rates for rooms.
Instead of paying 81 for dish Of por-
ridge and a cup of coffee the guest can
stop AT the restaurant next door and
get it just as good Tor u cents.
1t Is quite common also for travellers
to take cheaper rooms in down town
buildings Nice. well furnished rooms
of this character can be had at 81 a
day, quite as comfortable at the So
room at the hotel. Commercial travel
ers are doing this as they never did be-
fore, and it viii soon end the regime of
