Gold-Bug Logic.

The logic of the argument employed
by the gold standard people drives
them TO place silver dollars and silver
certificates on the same footing With
the green backs and treasury notes
They contend that the silver dollar is
not equal to the gold only because it
is indirectly made redeemable in gold,
Indeed, some of the leading gold or
gans have demanded that silver certi6-
Gates be made expressly redeemable in
gold, and it is difficult to see how the
demand can be refused if the gold men
are consistent with their theory. The
logic of their argument requires de-
struction of every other form of money
except gold. = Memphis Commercial
Appeal.

The opening of Mount Vernon Park, the
new pleasure resort on the Potomac river,
and on the line of the Washington, Alex
andria and Mount Vernon electric road,
yesterday was most suspicious occasion
and gives the promise of an entirely sue
cessful career for the new place. The place
is che that will attract a large number of
people at all times. 1t is naturally a beau
tiful spot, and nature has been assisted by
artificial Means in making the hooks and
corners comfortable and providing shelter
during rain and heat. A dancing pavilion
and cafe have been erected, while other
forms of amusement will be provided as
soon as arrangements can be perfected
The electric road yesterday conveyed about
loo to the park, the first train leaving

tlne until o'clock at night the trains were
crowded, many going in the evening for

AMUSEAIENTS.

Mr.. Graham's Tests.-Mr. H. A. Graham
gave performance at Aliens Grand Opera
House last night which, while it did not at
tract large audience, gave evidence OF the
skill and abilities Of the performer. The
first thing on the program was the mind
reading and second-sight tests. several
feats being introduced which completely
puzzled the audience. Mr.. Graham made
his appearance from an apparently empty
cabinet, coming out Of a flower pot not over
foot high. After the second-sight the
cabinet tests we're gone through with, three
styles Of tying being used. A committee of
four well-knowh gentlemen were allowed to
so upon the stage and examine everything.
Mr.. Graham was tied hand and foot to a
post screwed down into the stage and his
elbows and neck also tied and fastened Sc
ctrely to the post. Under these handcaps
the usual tests were made, supplemented
by some new features, which received gen.
erOuS applause.
The Firemen's Benefit Tonight-All ar
engagements for the benefit to be given this
evening at the Lafayette Square Opera
House for the benefit of the families of the

recent Louisiana avenue fire have been
completed, and there is every indication that
large audience will witness an excellent
program and at the same time contribute
toward a most worthy cause. Tickets lave
been disposed of by firemen and policemen,
SO that in all probability the sale will
amount to much more than the house will
represent in numbers this evening. Excel

ton of The Bells and a large chorus of
High School boys and girls will sing the
song entitled Free Cuba,' the words of
which are by Mr.. John A. Joyce of this

H H renewed Tnat an organized Gang
is at Work In This Vicinity.
Word has reached Anacostfa that the
post Office at Mulliken's Prince George
county, Md, was broken into Friday night
and lot Of postage stamps taken. This Is
the third time the post office at this point
has been robbed in less than two years,
and the people Of the neighborhood are be-
ginning to think that 1t is the work of an
organized gang.
Within the past twelve months the Office
at Halls, which is about two miles from
Mulliken's. has been robbed twice, and that
at Iceland, about the same distance from
Halls, has been robbed twice, as have also
the offices at Crown Station and Gallant
Green, on the Popes Creek branch Of the
Baltimore and Potomac railroad. once, and
on each occasion all the letters in the Office
were opened, but nothing but stamps and
money taken.
On the same night last week that the
post Office at Mulliken's was robbed the
store of b. N. Hardesty & Co., half a mile
distant, was also broken into, but only a
few cents were taken. The burglars drank
two bottles of beer, but did not carry off
any goods, thus showing that it was money
they wanted.

More Stringent Laws Needed.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
The fendish crime of Ford and The attack
on Miss Hardesty by Davis both point to
the necessity Of more stringent penalties
in the District of Columbia for crimes of
this nature. AS the law stands at present,
the maximum penalty for an attempt to
commit rape is only five years, at the end
of which these brutas are turned loose on
society to again commit their heihous
crimes. For the crime of rape the extreme
penalty IS only twenty years impr.son-
ment. Owing to the present bicycle craze
among women, which causes them fire.
quently to take long rides unattended in
the suburbs and country surrounding the
city, where they are peculiarly liable to be
attacked by these fiends, it is extremely
necessary for their better protection that
statute similar to that of the state of
Virginia be enacted, giving the power to
intlict the death penalty both for the at
tempt to commit this crime and for the
committal thereof. This law should be
enacted by the present Congress without
delay DEFENDER.
