The chances are that the Democratic
county committee will, within few
days, be called upon to name a candi-
date for congress, as il is the very
generally expressed opinion that Ed

make Il martyr of himself even to
please the head of the Roland party in
Iackawanna county.
Mr.. Mortified was seen at his home

COLONEL WATKINS MARRIED.
She Becomes the Bride Of staff Cap.
tain T.. Lindsay.


Colonel Pattie Watkins and Staff
Captain +. Lindsay, of the American
Volunteers, We're married in Carnegie
Music Hall. in New York. Tuesday
night. Miss Watkins Is the earnest
young woman who was heard in this
city few weeks ago in the volunteer
tents. The New York Herald of yes
terday had an extended report of the
somewhat novel ceremony, from which
the following is taken:
There is large spice of romance in
the wedding. Four years ago. Mr..
Lindsey, a business man, dropped into
the Bowery barracks, where Pattie was
preaching. He fell in love with her
1lrst and was converted afterward.
Several stanZas of hymn We're sung
to the tune of Marching Through
Georgia"
THAT is excellent" said Commander
Booth. Let us pray
He knelt and softly intoned "Rock of
Ages Gradually 1t swelled to q
mighty chorus. At its close he called
upon Mrs Captain Hyslop for prayer
She responded in voice more pleasant
than her singing voice.
Major Trumbull was next called up
on. He arose and with his cornet
under his arm Che is a member of the
band) prayed for minute or two.
Commander Booth then called for q
solo from the bride. She quietly arose
and in a most musical voice sang with
taste part of a hymn to the air of
Belle Malone"
The marriage ceremony was simple
The bridegroom stood on the right Of
the commander and the bride on the
left Of Mrs. Booth. who stood next to her
husband. The words We're much the
same as in the ordinary ritual of the
church, but the word obey was
omitted. Finally the Rev. Ross Tay-
lor went through the religious form and
the "knot" was tied.
There was more iubilant singing, a
collection and the meeting ended.

of gold or silver of certain fine
ness. Such contract is not dis
tinguishable in principle from con-
tract to deliver an equal weight of
bullion of equal fineness. Referring
to the legislation concerning coinage
he says: "The design of all this
minuteness and strlctness in the reg
ulatlon of coinage is easily seen. 1t
indicates the intention of the legisla-
ture to give sure guaranty to the
people that the coirs made current in
payments contain the precise weight
of gold or silver of the precise de-
gree of purity declared by the stat
ute. 1t recognizes the fact, accepted
by all men throughout the world,
that value is inherent in the precious
metals; that gold ard silver are in
themselves values. and being such,
and being in other respects best
adapted to the purpose. are the only
proper measure Of values; that THESE
VALUES ARE DETERMINED BY WEIGHT
AND PURITY, and that form and I'M
press are simply certificates of value
worthy of absolute reliance orly be-
cause of the known integrity and
good faith of the government which
gives them" When Chief Justice
Chase said that the above was ac-
cepted by all men he had never
heard of a Popocrat or Populist.

Patrick Henry Winston evidently
never saw Vermont. In speech at
Spokane few days ago he stated
that he was only surprised that the
Republican vote of Vermont was so
small. That as it is a state of money
lenders and corporations nothing
could be expected but large gold
vote. Vermont is neither corpora
tion nor money lending state. 1t
is more entirely a farming state than
any in New England. It has no large
cities, but it has very large intelli-
gent farmer population, and hence
its large vote against Populism.

Chief Justice Chase, man who
WIS never accused of being under
the control of Wall street OF British
gold, in 1869, in the case of Bronson
VS. Rodes, elsewhere cited, said that
a contract payable in o. S. gold or
silver coin, is, in legal import, an
agreement that the debtor should de-
liver to the creditor certain weight

The national debt was paid off at
the average rate of about seventy
two million dollars per annum from
1870 to 1898, and in 1898 we had a
surplus IN thetreasury of $2,341,674.
Since March 1, 1898, there has been
paid on the national debt not one
cent.

The question is frequently asked
whether the.agreement to pay in gold
coin can be enforced when silver and
currency are both legal tender.
Section 3211 of Hills Code pro-
vides that the courts of this state
when giving judgment in written
contract for the payment of gold
coin or any other kind of money
specified in the contract, shall ad-
judge that the principal and interest
be paid in the kind of money speci-
fed. -
The U. S. supreme court, in Bron.
son VS.. Rodes, Wallace, 229, says
"A contact to pay certain number
of dollars in gold or silver coins is,
therefore, in legal import, nothing
else than an agreement to deliver a
certain weight of standard gold, to
be ascerrained by count of coins,
each of which is certified to contain
a definite proportion of that weight.
1t is not dIstinguishable, as we think,
IN principle, from contract to de-
liver an equal weight of bullion OF
equal fineHess.
The contract referred to in that
case was made in 1851 and called fol
payment 'sin gold and silver coin
lawful money Of the United States. .
The debtor rendered payment il
1865 in legal tender U. S. notes.
The same doctrine has been de
clared by the United States supreme
court IN three different cases since
the one referred to, and by the su
preme courts of California, Ohio
Texas, Nevada, Illinois and othel
states. The Statute of Oregon gov

Bryan says one day that they are
not trying to give the people cheap
money, but that free coinage will
raise the price of silver to $1.29 pei
ounce. The next day he says: ssThe
great principle is that the value of a
dollar depends upon the number OF
dollars. You have to learn that
scarce money means dear money"

Tne Times -Mountaineer few
days ago quoted from one of Sena-
tor Mitchell's speeches made last jan
uary, and expressed curiosity to
know what the senator would have to
say at Woodburn. Senator Mitchell,
in his Woodburn speech, addresses
himself to those in the Republican
party who believe in both silver and
gold as standards, and points out to
them with great clearness the neces
sity of remaining with the party
whose administration of public affairs
in the past made this the greatest and
most progressive nation on earth.
Now we in our turn wonder how the
Times-M -Mountainee can reconcile its
present position with that of April OF
this year.
