'Tt makes no difference whether it

1t was apparent that Judge Hink-
son was considerably exercised. and
District Attorney Ryan suggested that
there was no use in either of them get
ting excited over the matter.
This evidently quicl1ened the feeling
of the court, for he asked, What is
that?" And the District Attorney re-
peated what he had said.
BY this time Judge Hinkson was
thoroughly aroused. Mr.. Ryan" he
exclaimed, II will not allow you to
talk to me in that way, I consider
your remarks insulting, and find you
guilty of contempt You are fined the
sum of $50, and you will be given until
noon tomorrow TO pay it, and in de-
fault of payment you will go to jail at
the rate of 50 a day until the fine is
paid"
Now it was the District Attorney s
turn to get mad. He gazed at Judge
Hinkson for a moment, his excitement
rising rapidly When he did find words
he said:
.sWell. won't pay it. You can send
me to Jail, but I won't pay it. Further

He Didn't Like What District Attorney
Ryan Said.

Him to Pay $3.50 or
Go to Jail

District Attorney Ryan has ten days

This order by Judge Hinkson was
made yesterday during the trial of the

District Attorney was examining him
as to the identity of a rifle which 1t is
claimed was one of the weapons used
at the time the electric car office was
robbed last fall by Callendine, Baker

told him to be careful how he handled

in the room.

To the Editor of the Optic:
PUEBLO, Colo, August 30th, 1896 -

cent issue, mentions the name OF T.
A. Finical, the Albuquerque lawyer,
for Territorial secretary, in Ease a re-
publican governor is put in Thorn.
toms place. A short time since, an
other paper recommended Finical for
delegate to congress. AS Mr.. Finical
has been a resident OF New Mexico but
a short time, and has never rendered
any conspicuous service to his parry, IL
Is q matter Of surprise that this young
man should be pushed forward, while
ADLER men, who have spent years OF
their time and thousands of dollars in
promoting the welfare of the Territory
and building up their party, should
take a back seat. These old and tried
men have a claim on the party that
cannot be ignored, while MIR. Finical
has nc claims that entitle him to
preference. In Albuquerque social cir
Giles, Mr.. Finlcal has won a decided
success. He is in great demand at
social gatherings and is always ready
with a neat little speech for the occa.
sion, but In the field of politics and in
the halls of legislation, something more
substantial than the ability to utter
neat compliments at social gatherings
is required.
Senator H. M. Teller was q visitor
during the week, as the guest of Col.
Stanton. Mr.. Teller, by his bolt at the
st. Louis convention, leaped into sud
den prominence, all over Uncle Sans
domain, yet it did not upset the old
man a bit to find himself the lion of
The hour. The intense enthusiasm no.
ticeable at all political gatherings, a
few weeks since, has gradually subsid-
ed, which proves that the people real
ize that there are other men and other
measures that demand attention. We
admire Teller's pluck, but when VIC re-
member that Teller will give his sup.
port 10 Bryan, a rabid free.trader, it
brings to US a feeling Of sadness to see
this lifelong leader in the republican
party worshipping at the free-trade
shrine, and burning incense to its
champion.
Senator Teller proposes to beard the
lions In their den. There is to be a
grand Teller rally at Colorado Springs,
the coming week, and Teller is to de-
liver the address. Colorado Springs is
the republican stronghold Of Colorado,
and Mr.. Teller's ~eloquence will ha 7e
no effect there. JOHN j. BIPPUs.

vi hANo
A correspondent OF the Washington
Post gives his idea OF an effective
method Of argument in the following
statement. Il.
When an Individual commences to talk
about coining COWS, whisky, corn, etc., as
Edward Atkinson does In q letter to the
Post, it excitss ones sympathy for the
feeble- minded, but ia not very convincing
in favor Of the single gold standard.
Whenever l am asked the question, why
use silver for money, why not coin brass,
iron, tin, leather, etc? !" l don't take the
trouble to refer to the constitution, which
forbids the use of anything but gold and
silver as money, nor do / call the question
er's attention to the fact that silver and
gold are the precious metals that have
been used the world over ever since Its be-
ginning as money. / simply stare at the
fellow and look sorry; then | walk to some
bystander, whisper In his ear, point to the
gold bug, tap my forehead, and walk away.
1t never fails to break him down, and he 10
forever cured Of q desire to ask fool ques-
tions.
This course may bring humiliation
to the talker, and win applause from
the ~bystanders, but after all is 1t the
wise methodp The onlookers may be
convinced that 1t is a good joke, and
that the man who perpetrates 1t is very
bright, but will they know any more
than they did beforeP Will their
minds be turned TO the truth that Is
involved in this phase OF the discus
sionp 1t would be better to reply to
such questions by another question.
"What are the essential requirements
as to quantity for the metals that are
to be used for money!" Anyone Of
any political faith, and Of any opinion
on the money question, will readily
admit that the money metals must be
scarce enough to have a high value,
and plentiful enough to serve as a basis
for the business of the world. Nearly
one-half the people OF the world now
use the gold standard, and a little
more than one-half use the silver stand
ard. None Of them have too much
money, and the history OF the world
shows that there has never been too
much of the two metals jointly to &C
commodate the increasing demands Of
business. The real question now Is
not one of introducing q new money
metal into the world, but merely
whether all the nations shall use both
metals, or half of them shall use one
and half the other. II all cannot be
induced to use both, which Is the better
one to usep

ing 'straw" men, or men who by the ar
rangement of the different foremen receive
pay checks at the end Of each month,
though not In the employ of the road.
This system Of dishonesty has been in
practice on all roads since railroad build
ing was first commenced, and is found prin.
