tuition above referred to. 1t will be- OBJ
served that ii is not said that Congress
shall. but only shall have power to, coin
money" If, however. these are regarded as
synonymous expressions, 1t is nevertheless
true that Congress took no action providing
for the coinage of money for three years
after its first meeting, its functions being
in the meantime limited to fixing the value
OF foreign coin. Nor was 1t until three
years later that money was actually coined
by the United States. During these six
years the sole money Of the country was Of
foreign origin, the currency of which as
legal tender was authorized by Congress.
This. IL anything. was the money of the
Constitution at that date, so Benton as
serted in his discussion of the currency
OF the Constitution"
Again. 1t is not said that Congress shall
coin gold and silver What metals shall be
Used Is not specified. While 1t would nat
urally be expected that under the circum-
stances then existing gold and silver would
become the metals of coinage, it was fully
competent for Cor gress to select others
Even the prohibition imposed upon the
states forbidding them TO make anything
but gold and silver coin a legal tender, was
IN no sense an injunction upon Congress
ccnstrafnlng ii to the choice of these for
It's own minta2e. 1t was designed to pro-
tect the citizens Of the United States
against having imposed upon them a legal
lender circulating medium. which did not
nave an intrinsic fixed and recognized val
ue, certified to by the United States. Again.
not word is uttered by the Constitution
nor hint given as to what shall be the
ratio of any two or more metals, the COIN
age of which might at any time be au-
tnorlZed, nor as to what shall constitute
the unit Of value. The closest scrutiny
Iails to detect In its provisions even the
1s:Etest suggestion in regard to these mat
ters 1t does rot lend itself inf the reno
test degree to any Id to /, or silver unit
theory. These phrases cannot be framed
out OF any language it employs. And yet
intelligent men. leaders of the people, ora
tors of the platform, are found who plead
with the multitude in behalf of free sill
yer" in the name of the Constitution and
virtually assert that the policy they ad-
vocate is 2ot only sanctioned, but enioined
by its provisions.

BRYAN's VOTE FOR WEAVER.
Senator Faulkner Says He Did 1t a
the Democratic Committees Request

Senator Faulkner Says He Did 1t at
the Democratic Committees Request.
Comment having been made upon the fact
that Mr.. Bryan supported General Weaver
for the presidency in 1892, Senator Faux
ner, after consultation with Senator Cor
man. gave out the following statement on
the subject: !" u
Il have submitted the inquiries concern
ing Mr.. Bryan's vote for Weaver in 1892 to
Senator German, who was a member of the
democratic campaign committee in that
year. He says that the national committee,
of which Mr.. William F. Harrity was chair
man, with Mr.. Don NJ. Dickinson. chairman
of the campaign committee, determined to
request all the democrats in Nebraska and
the states west thereof to Unite with the
Weaver people in carrying these states. SO
as to prevent Harrison from receiving cleo
toral votes in Nebraska, Idaho, Montana,
Wyoming, Oregon, Nevada ard California,
and, as a rule, the democrats followed the
request Of the democratic national commit
tee. In addition to this the New York
World made an appeal for d special SUBJ
scription to carry out the plan Of campaign
determined on by the democratic commit
tee; therefore, whatever Mr. Bryan or any
ether democrat did in the support OF
Weaver was at the request of the national
democratic committee"

battle occurred at Sorrento Wednesday
night between the fireman and engineer
of a through freight on the Clover Leaf
line and b. l. Clemens a tramp who
was stealing a ride from Charleston.
Clemens was put off by the trainmen
at Sorrento and he attacked Fireman
Cook and the engineer with a knife,
seriously wounding both. He was, aft
er much effort, captured by the city
marshal and a posse of citizens, but be-
fore submitting to arrest he cut the city
marshal on the head and back, and
then plunged the knife i'm his own body,
near the region of his heart
He was brought to Greenville and

allow no one to approach him. After
several hours struggle he was bound
and his wounds dressed.

threatens self-destructlon. He is a man
of powerful proportions and appears to
have fair education. He has in his
possession a mechanical engineers Ii
