Americas Even if English.


One of the most seductive arguments of
the free silver men, in opposition to the
money standard which has prevailed since
the days of continental shin plasters, is that
the gold standard is English and because
1t is English it should be rejected. No one
mentions the fact that 1t Is German and
French as well as English, and it is a ques-
ton whether 1t is English. Looking over
the history of the United States money dis
closes the fact that Thomas Jefferson de-
Veloped the money system of this country,
and the Bible and other books of ancient orr
gin develop the fact that gold entered ex-
tensively into the money system before
England existed nation. Following
the matter through the generations to the
days of Jefferson, Hamilton, Webster Clay,
Jackson and Benton, none OF whom were
ever accused of being especially devoted
to the interests of England we find that
through their efforts the United States Of
America were placed upon a gold standard
and If we may except the distressing period
of the civil war, this country has never de-
parted from the policy Of Benton, Webster,
Clay and Jackson, and to this one fact
more than to any other, may be credited
the advancement of the country In COM
merce, science, literature, art, wealth, bust
ness, comfort and all that which has made
the country what 1t Is.
But, II we are to do away with the pres
ent money standard because 1t is English
we must, to be consistent, do away with all
else that is English. The language for in
stance; the common law; the system of gov
eminent drawn from magma charta, the laws
of gravitation and thousands of things that
permeated and aided humanity before Amer
lea was discovered.
The United States is country peopled by
the sons of all lands; its policy has been to
adopt the best of everything for it's own
use, customs. habits, grades of progress, and
use its best genius to improve, invent and
outstrip all others. Shall it be reversed in
money matters, and instead of advancing go
back to the level of China, of Mexico and
Peru? No man can judge the future but
by the experience of the past. The experience
Of all free silver nations is such as to lead to
the conclusion that Franklin, Jefferson, Ham
ilton, Jackson, Benton, Webster and Clay
were wiser even than Altgeld Tillman, Stew
art or Bland.

South Side Citizen Makes a Re-
markabIe Find,

Mysterious happenings will occur
The latest in the line of sensational
ISM and which is causing some of the
police authorities to scratch them
selves behind the ear, is a remarkable
find that was made Saturday evening
at dusk, at the very hour when mys-
ferrous things are wont to happen.

it belongs, and what it was doing there,

an X-ray.

was no sergeant there that was going

GOLD COMING IN.

don Market.
LONDON, Sept 13-The chief result
of the advance in the bank rate has
been to put down prices of over-infiated
investment securities. A further scare
was caused yesterday by rumors Of
cabinet council and the probability of
heavy gold shipments to New York.
Heavy sales Of consols occurred and
there was general drop all round. The
markets are likely to be very sensitive
for some time to come. The action OF
the bank has been sharply criticised by
many bankers and bill brokers who
have been adversely affected by the
unexpected rise in the bank rate Lon
don banks hold immense quantities Of
inflated stocks as securities against
loans and general fall in these securi-
ties would be a, serious matter for the
banks. Once matters are settled down
again, however, it is likely that more
attention will be devoted to speculative
markets, like the American. The weeks

An unusual consumptive demand

sales here for export on a scale to
make the short seller uncomfortable
about his position, and at the end OF
the week the clearances made large

phasize the business which rad been
announced from day to day. The sit

Chiefly local. The money conditions
everywhere, here, West and East, con-
tinued uncomfortable enough to make
speculative operations not as easy as
at ordinary times, and also to some
what embarrass even the more legiti-
mate grain transactions. Unquestiona-
bly, money matters made 1t harder for
the spring wheat handlers to carry
their stock, and resulted in some COM
pulsory and premature liquidation. The
other grains showed very little rally

have been, encouragement upon

There were influential professionals

however, to meet the advance with

than usual The argument of very
large export sales was met by the an

was not going abroad any faster than
all other American farm products; that
the reason of the big shipments was
the low prices, and that the exports,

Suggestive Change Recently Made in

New York SUM-
| A law which changes radically the
legal position of children born out Of
Wedlock, and which. in the eyes of
it's opponents, threatens the existence
Of the family in France. was passed,
almost without attracting notice dur
ing the last session of''the French par
lament. 1t was not discussed at all
in the chamber Of deputies, and met
with only faint opposition in the senate.
An illegitimate child who is recognized
according to the forms of law by his
father may now inherit, or rather.
cannot be disinherited under normal
conditions, from sharing in the property
the father leaves. His share is to be one
half that Of a legitimate child, where
one exists; three quarters, If there are
only uncles, aunts, and nephews left,
while, If the nearest relatives are mere
ly first cousins Of the father. the whole
Inheritance descends to the natural
child. The provisions Of the French
law Of Inheritance, which secure to
legitimate children a certain proportion
of their parents property, inalienable
by father or mother are made to apply
to illegitimate children also. More
over, the father may leave to his nat
property Of which the law allows him
the free disposal, provided that portion
IS not larger than the portion left to
the least favored legitimate child.
Heretofore the law has forbidden
legacies to illegitimate children, so that
the only way in which a father could
make bequest to his natural child
was by refusing to recognize him as
his, thereby placing him legally in
hn Of n c&v i
him.
1t will be interesting to watch the
effect on French society of this attempt
at solution of a grave social problem
The measure is not SO sweeping as it
seems to be at first sight, for it affects
only part of the children born out of
wedlock. The famous section $40 Of
the code civil: La recherche delta pa
ternite est interdite," which many
Frenchmen took upon as one Of the
main bulwarks of social order remains
in full force. The father who refuses
to acknowledge his illegitimate child
cannot be compelled to do so. If either
mother or child We're to try to force
an acknowledgement the case would be
thrown out of court.
Another class of children born out of
wedlock, which is not affected by the
law, consists of those who have become
leSilHhdte, as ny the FRENCH law the
subsequent marriage of the parents
legitimize their children already born.
The number of persons to whom the
modified law will apply must, there
| fore, be small when compared with the
total population of France, much
smaller than might be inferred from
the prominence given to their so-called
wrongs in literature and on the stage.
1t is large enough, however, to give
value to the results Of the present ex-
pertinent, whatever they are It is not
| expected that French fathers will
| hasten to assume all the moral respon-
sibilities simply because the law now
permits them to do So,

THEY ALL GOT A DRINK.
How a MiIIionaire's Son Driving a
Street Car Treated His Passen-


San Francisco Argonaut
After the late George Law was graduated
from Columbia college his father made him
driver on the Eighth avenue street in
New York. One night, after a cold rain had
chilled the young driver to the marrow, a
college friend of his jumped on the car and
suggested that a drink would be in order.
On Fifty fifth street, midway between Eighth
and Ninth avenues, there was a well known
sporting resort kept by an ex-boxing master
Of Columbia. Mr.. Laws friend proposed that
he stop the car while they ran down the
street. hurriedly took drink and returned
to the car. But Mr.. Law preferred to follow
his own ideas in the matter. Giving the
horses a sudden yank, he turned them sharply
toward Ninth avenue and whipped them up
until. by a quick effort, they lifted the car
off the track. Over the cobbles the strong
horses drew the car, to the amazement Of the
conductor and the passengers, and, rafting
down through the street. stopped in front Of
the saloon. MIR. Law alighted with his friend
and SO did the rest of the passengers. After
they had taken a drink at the drivers ex-
pense. they turned to the vehicle and the
car again started It's noisy progress over the
stones. When 1t was again on the rails and
the journey up Eighth avenue was resumed
1t was rather the worse for wear.
