Let us ali be thankful that the finan-
cial question has at last been finally
settled.
1t is so easy that anybody might have
done it.
All that is needed is that the gov
ernment of the United States shall
agree to pay S1.20 to anyone who will
bring it 60 cents worth of silver.
If this is done our financial troubles
will Immediately disappear. Prices will
advance. Wages will go up. Everybody
will have plenty of money. We shall
have at once the only perfect financial
monetary system known in history.

FARMERs YS. DEM4GOGUES.

We have been con- mortgage debt of the farmers has been growing at a rate out of all proportion wealth. and it was recently asserted by a boy orator that during the de- Minnesota has increased 297 per cent, while the wealth-producing element exhaustive study of the mortgage in- debtedness of the state made by the the whole increase in mortgage indebt edness during this period was from ST, 100000 in 1880 to $122,00o,000 in 1890 on city lots, and from s7,0o0,0O0 to $35,- 900, ,O00 on acres not used for farming purposes. The mortgage debt upon farms grew during the ten years only from 1000, ,000 in 1880 to $39, 100000 in 1890, while the value of these farm lands increased $146, 900, 900, nearly $27,- 000, GOO was added to the value of live stock, and the added capital of the farmers in the form of farming imple- ments and machinery was almost $4,- 0,OO0 In other words, the total addi- tional mortgage debt incurred by the farmers of Minnesota, in these ten years was only about per cent. of the s177,- 100000 added to their wealth in the three items of lands, stock, and farm ing implements Finally, further analysis shows that the mortgage debt on farms has largely decreased since 1880 in all the older counties, and that the increase is altogether due to the opening of farms in the newer districts, and represents the money borrowed for implements, machinery, etc.
 Of course such facts as these will not diminish the volume or vociferousness of boy oratory, but they do tend to il- lustrate its quality.

In recent decision the Supreme court Of Wisconsin said that the pro- oeedings of city council are not privi- legged, as are those of legislative bodies, of courts, of military and naval tribu- nals, Privileged communications, other than those enumel ated, are limited, the son, in good faith and in the perform ance oe duty, to another, or those made by one who has an interest in the subject communicated to another having a corresponding interest. The concrete illustration given was in a H. bel suit brought to the attention of the court, in which suit a newspaper was prosecuted for printing a statement made to the city council of Oshkosh, The statement was made by a legisla- tive representative, and was in expla- nation of the delay in enacting meas ure of special interest to the city. The explanation reflected rpon state sena- tor, who sued the local paper in which was printed report of the council proceedings. As the court discriminat- ed, the communication by the represen- tative to the council was privileged, as being made in good faith by one party in interest to another, but the privilege did rot extend to the publication of the communication to the world. The of lending newspaper circ,.lates outside the city of Oshkosh, in localities where the people have no tangible interest in the subject matter, and the circulation of the statement in those localities was hbellous, the court said. As the court phrased it, it was an excessive" publi- cation, but it would have been innocent if confined to the city of Oshkosh.

 To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 In this days issue of your esteemed journal there appears in the editorial columns an article headed "One More Fraud to which you will kindly per- init me to take exception. The alleged fraud" is the now famous Lincoln let ter, which seems destined to equal fame with the great presidents Gettysburg speech. You quote Mir. John G. Nico- lays denunciation of this letter in which he declares it to be an ''unblush- ing forgery and you seem to think that settles the question; but it doesn't. Whatever may be the intrin- sic merits of this controversy, it is quite certain that it cannot be settled by the mere ipse dixit of MT. Nicolay. If you wish to know the precise value Of MT. Nicolay as an authority in mat ters of which he pretends to have per- sonal knowledge, 1 respectfully refer you to the distinguished editor of the Philadelphia Times. In his collision with Colonel Mcclure the biographer of Lincoln received a shock from which a prudent man might have profited. The journalist proved beyond question that the assertions and denials of the private secretary must be taken, not only with the proverbial grain of salt, but with liberal doses of saline condi- ment. Indeed, the result of the contro- versy was to knock the bottom clean out of Nicolay's pretensions as a his torian-in proof of which I beg to refer

FASHION NOTES.
New Rulings for Chiffon.

Chiffon waists have not gone out and they probably never will. They are too becoming, too easily made, and they afford too excellent an economy in the use of old silk or satin under fresh chiffon, to ever be discarded if eco homie folk have anything to say about it. Chiffon will not be put with cloth, as it was last year, except in the case of bodice with skirt and delicate tints in cloth are to be used for separate skirts instead of silk. With such a skirt, chiffon over silk bodice will go charmingly. In the costume pictured here the plain skirt was from nickle- gray woollen suiting, which material appeared above the waist only in the sleeves, The bodice was pleated white chiffon over white silk, there was a wide girdle of white chiffon and the epaulettes and tiny bolero were white lace. Lace garniture was added to the chiffon collar
The daily morning journal and courier., 1896-10-07

The inevitable black skirt will not give up it's claim to respect, but this season it will have a little more the look of responsibility than of style, and that will be an objection to it to many folk. The a1l-black effect is never out of style and the black skirt with black chiffon bodice over bright silk, will be as pretty as ever, especially if the skirt is lined to match the bright silk. Such a skirt can have its own black bodice in less dressy effect than the chiffon one and the chiffon can serve with another skirt that is of the same material as the bright foundation over which the chiffon is made.
 There will be a great deal of braiding or cloth this year, and many a cloth gown 8 little gone by in color or a little mussed generally will take on fresh crispness and style by being "all- overed'' with braid. The new gowns so treated are expensive and very choice, which is only an additional indueement to Miss Economy to thus revive her old gown. FLORETTE.

The Superior Criminal court of Mass achusetts has decided that what is known as the Irish flag is not the flag of an independent nation, and conse- ouently does not come within the pro- hibition of the laws of the State which forbids the display of such on public buildings. The case grew out of the act of contractor who on the Fourth of July last placed an Irish flag on a

Although Mexico is on silver basis, it has to pay it's foreign debt in gold. The latest report of Minister Liman- tour shaws that the total foreign debt of Mexico interest and principal being payable in gold, is $111,000,000, In his budget for next year, MT. Li1nantour calls for an appropriation of $12000,0 in silver that amount being necessary to obtain the s6,000, 900 in gold required for the interest of the country's obliga- tiens. It will thus be seen that while Mexico is on silver basis at home she is on a gold basis abroad. She can pay the Mexican wage-e -earner in silver dollars, but the foreign bond-holder must have gold.

A rather surprising charge was en- bodied in the statement of the Austrian Minister of Finance in connection with the annual budget announcement last week It was of a surprising nature in itself, and 1t was perhaps most sur prising in that it was made at all. The Minister must be a reformer, and a vigorous one, too He declared that the budgets for many years had been fictions, and that instead of surpluses. as reported, the annual financial result of the governments maintenance had, throughout long period, been largely deficits. The average amount of the loss recorded for five years was given as over $1OO00, 900.

GOT TEN LASHES.
A Chesapeake City Wife-Beater Whipped.
The First Case in the History of
Cecil County.

John 7. Boots, the Chesapeake City man
who was arrested in Elkton on Monday Of
last week for brutaly beating his wife, was
whipped in the Elkton Jail on Monday after
noon, receiving ten lashes. The cat-o-nine
tails was piled by Sheriff Harvey Mackey.
the prisoner being stripped to the waist, and
although the lash was welded moderately,
his back bore evidence that the law had been
fully carried out. Nearly a hundred people
witnessed the whipping which took place in
the north jail yard, where n post had been
erected. Boots stood punishment without
murmur, although he keenly felt the disgrace
and the fact that photographer had camera
leveled upon him added much to his discom-
fort Boots is twenty-six years of age, and is
in Chesapeake City, in which town he and
his wife resided. Frequent quarres caused
a separation and his wife had gone to Will
mington to reside. leaving their young child
with the father On Monday Of last week the
parents met in Elkton as it had been arranged
but the meeting proved anything but pleas
ant one, and resulted in quarrel in which
Boots struck his wife several times in the
face. He was ARRESTED and taken before
Squire Groves who sentenced him to 30 days
in Jail and to receive ten lashes.
1t is the first whipping to take place in the
history of Cecil County.
The whipping-post figured prominently in
the early administration of justice in Mary
land. By n law Of 1915 any one convicted of
thieving and stealing goods not above the
value of one thousand pounds of tobacco,
which was not committed in the course of any
robbery, burglary housebreaking. was pun
ishcd by putting him in the pilory and whip
ping him with not over forty stripes. In 1775
all breaches of military discipline were pun
ished in the same way. When the old court
house in Baltimore stood in 1884 on an
arch over Calvert street, very nearly on
ment. the whipping-post pillory and stocks
We're in front of the arch. Here it was
that the public whipper laid on the lash.
In 1909 the law was repealed. and from
then until 1888 no free person had been whip
ped by order of the court. From 1909 to
their slaves.
Constables had the right to repair to all
suspected places within their districts where
they might think slaves congregate with re-
bellious intentions and whip every negro with
not more than thirty-nine lashes. At the
police station-houses in the city negroes were
whipped for ordinary offenses. The consti
tutional convention of 1864 abolished the en-
tire law of punishment by the whipping post
and 1t remainded dead until the Legislature
of 1882 resurrected it and applied it solely to
wife beaters. The principal resemblance to
the old law is the number of lashes permitted
which shall not exceed forty.
