The following extract from the address
OF the sound-money Democratic Conyen-
ton Of Missouri, issued last Saturday, is
worth reprinung. They say:
1.-The free coinage Of silver at rata
above its market value is but another
phase of the paternalism and favor TO
the few at the expense Of the many,
against which the Democratic Marty has
always struggled. The threat of the SEN
atOrs OF the Republican silver-mlning
States TO oppose any further extension OF
the protective policy unless they are sup
ported in their demand for free silver
by the manufacturing States. attests the
selfish interests and undemocratic motives
which prompt the debasement Of the ma
tional currency To fix by law a value
upon silver which IL does not command
I'm the open market is 10 do for the silver
barons OF the Rocky Mountains what has
so long. under the speciOus guise OF pro-
lection 10 home industry. been done for
the iron barons of the Alleghan!es.
Public credit is private security. Faith
In the integrity Of the Government is
essential 10 business prosperity Debase-
lnent OF the currency means an impair
mant Of an past obligations and nncer-
tainty as TO those of the future Under
such conditions financial Danics ard in
dustrial dCDressons are inevitable. And
the people are not blind to the teaching
of experience. No party in this country
has ever succeeded TO power by an attack
upon the public credit, and no party ever
will. The experiment was tried IN 1894.
and with what success We know too
well"
Good and sound doctrine, every word
Of st. Paternalism. or favors TO the few
at the expense OF the many, is the cor
ner-stone Of the foundation that the Re
publican parry rests upon. Equal oppor-
tunit!es for all and favors to none is the
idea for which the Democratic party has
always struggled. For an act Of Con-
Pross TO raise fifty cents worth OF silver
to a plane that Will force creditor to
receive il for a dollar OF debt is 10 give
a huge bounty to silver mine-owners and
10 men who owe debt. II is the same
thing, IN effect, as an act Of Congress
that authorizes a New England manu-
facturer Of coats or blankets 10 force all
other Americans TO pay him two prices
for coats or blankets. Such acts are not
the equal laws which the Democratic
party insists that the country shall have.
They are laws which bring bonhts TO some
and penalties to others. The Democratic
party stands for the proposition that all
men shall rest before the laws upon a
plano Of perfect equality; that the laws
shall bear in exactly the same way upon

NIP. SMITHS CARD.

The card which Mr.. James G. Smith
has published is one which our IilE
Democratic Committee cannot ignore
He charges distinctly that in the last
primary election eighty-six more votes
were added to Sergeant Charles II. Epps
count at the Second Monroe precinct
than were cast at that precinct. lie also
charges that at the Fifth Clay ward
precinct Ga precinct carried by HIM up
wards of 80 voters stood in line for
hours unable 10 vote, because the OIL
GERS Of election consumed fifteen minutes
An voting one (each man, and 100 voters
were thus denied their right or sur
frage the polls being closed before they
could vote He also claims that he re-
ceived in the last election votes enough
to amount to more than one-halt OF
the white voters Of the city, and, II
this is so. he must have been elected.
These charges cannot be ignored. III
they are true. then our primary elections
are rotten TO the core, and the people
OF the city want TO know that fact II
81 is a fact. our primary elections are
absol .tely necessary 10 the good gov
eminent OF the city, and the people are
determined that they shall be absolutely
honest and elections in which each
Democratic voter may vote as he chooses
and have his vote counted as he cast II.
We can never attain 10 this result
unless specific charges like those made
by Mr.. Smith are probed to the bottom.
and the facts just as they really are
are ascertained and published TO the
people. The City Committee should at
once appoint Subcommittee OF at least
five OF its best men 10 investigate these
charges. ard this subcommittee should
sit with open doors. so that all men may
attend its sessions and hear the testimony
OF the witnesses. and so that the news
papers may report the testimony 10 the
public.
This matter should be taken up and
disposed Of at once.

THE SPANISH EMEUTE.

There is no occasion for any sort Of ex-
element over the action Of the Spanish
mob in attacking the United States con-
suate at Barcelona. II appears TO have
been altogether the act OF an excited
mob. with which the Government had no
connection OF any sort. the Spanish Gov
eminent exerted itself promptly and Wig
orously 10 suppress the mob. 1t was
suppressed before damage that amount
ed TO anything was done. the Spanish
Government has now apologizcd. and all
we have TO DO is TO keep cool and wait
for the orderly course Of events.
We want no war with Spain. and Spain
vii soon recognize that 1t would be
sheer madness upon her part to drive us
into war. We had perfect right to
recognize the beil.gerency OF the Cubans.
and the circumstances Of tho case were
sucn as 10 make II our duty 10 do so.

To the Editor of The Times:
Sir,-A few days since you published
an article purporting TO be a copy of the
original paper or commission. granted by
Patrick Henry, then governor of Virginia,
TO Col. Clarke, preparatory 10 the IA
nous expedition into the great Northwest
Territory, which was a part Of the Old
Dominion, but failed TO touch on any
details.
In this connection I would say: The
original manuscript is the property Of
Judge Horace i. Biddle, of Logansport
Indiana. IL came into his possession
through the late John Il. Dillon. Judge
Biddle has ii framed. and appreciates il
very highly, as being one OF the many
interesting curios to be found among the
archives OF Virginia The paper is I'm the
handwriting of Governor Henry. IL is
clear and legible. The document Is dated
williamsburg 18th January, 1878.
The ladies of Virginia, who are engaged
I'm the preservation Of the antiquities Of
the old Commonwealth, should make
every effort, by purchase or otherwise. 10

by Mr. Dillon. during the war, from the

Judge Biddle would return IL upon proper
application. Address him at Logansport.

Hafr Under the Microscope.

Ia the centuries past the human hair
played an important part in all judicial pro-
ceedings. Those that were permitted to
wear beard and hair had rights that could
not be claimed by the shorn and shaved
When men made oath, they touched their
beard, and women placed the finger tips of
the right hand on their tresses.
Servants were obliged to have their hair
cut, and if freedman went into slavery he
had to divest himself of his hirsute adorn-
ments. An adult adopted by foster parents
was obliged to have his beard shaved and
the shaying was punishment inflicted on
criminals The jurisprudence of our an
cestors dealt with punishment "by skin and
hair" for small ofenses and "by neck and
hand" for greater crimes.
There has always been more or less super
stition about hair Great strength was i'm
piled by it, and wizards aud witches knew
of concoctious of hair by which they pois-
oned their enemies. Cats hair was espe-
cially named in the category of poisonous
hairs, and even at the beginning of the sew
enteenth century Pauius Zacchias, famous
physician, writes of the virulent poison Of
the hair OF cats.
Among civilized people such superstitious
beliefs have gone out of existence, and only
Malays give their enemies tiger hairs in
broth to kill them.
Hair to-day however, is one Of the impOr-
tant factors in deciding murder cases, and
the microscopic examination Of hair, where
it is found in criminal cases under suspi
cious circumstances, is invariable.
The first thing the coroner is called upon
to determine is whether the hair is from
man or beast. The microscope determines
this beyond preadventure. Animal hair
differs in construction from that grown on
human head. In human hair the upper
skin is smooth and thin. The circular sec
ton is comparatively broad forming the
main part of the hair shaft 1t is striped
in appearance and carries the color matter.
The tubular part is thin, extending to about
one fifth and certainly not more than to
one-quarter of the entire width of the hair.
Animal hair also consists of three parts,
but these are differently constructed, the
tube often filing the entire hair The ends
of the hair must be closely watched, and
especially woman's hair will be found rag
ged and torn at the ends.
The hair from boards is usually the thick
est diameter being as much as 0l5 MILL
meters, while hair from female heads can
be as fine as a diameter of 008 millimeters
