The Question of Parity.

To the Eiitor of The Evening Star:
Should our government coin silver free
and return 1t to the original owner without
maintaining the parity between silver and
gold?
How could the parity be maintained? In
other words. should take my old silver tea
pot, spoons and forks to the mint and have
them coined into the form of dollars, and
attempt to put them in circula lion without
first having the government agree to re-
deem them In gold when presented, who
would take them and give me merchandise
In return, except at the commercial value
OF silver. whatever that might be? Not a
man IN this country with comon sense
would do 1t.
Now. If what our greatest fnancier the
senior Senator from Ohio, John Sherman.
mas told US be true, namely, that this
country VIII not assume responsibility for
silver coined free. what will such so-caIIed
money be worth as circulating medium ?
In my humble Judgment, 1t would be worth
very little more than the confederate shin
plasters were during the late war. when a
boy was paid 50 for holding a horse five
minutes. and poor women were compelIed
TO pay 500 for calico dress
Far better relegate the free silver men To
some barren isle. and there let them remain

THE COOKING MURDER.
Elymct BOWS Thinks Certain InfOl
nation Was Given by Lynchers.

Elymct Dovvs Thinks Certain Infor-
nation Was Given by Lynchers.
To the Editor Of Tho Evening Star:
Your special dispatch from La Plata,
August 6, relating to the Cooking murder
is most untruthful one, and is, no doubt,
written by or in the interest of the lynchers
of Joseph Cooking, who, now realizing the
enormity of their cowardly and brutal
crime seek to influence public opinion in
their behalf.
1t is a well-authenticated fact that But
ton Neal was drowned while bathing, his
clothes being found on the bank. dry. and
no marks on his person to show foul play.
and it is also well known that Mr.. Cooking
was not at the creek during that day. All
the evidence produced shows the usual
amicable relationship between Mr.. and
Mrs. Cooking on the day previous to the
murder up to o'clock In the evening, the
last seen of them.
Is 1t not somewhat strange that those
two ladies who heard those threats, and by
their presence only prevented this murder
at that time, should have never mentioned
the fact until row? Your correspondent
can and will, no doubt, give the names of
sertion can be verified. The charge of
Statements made derogatory to the dead
woman" by the friends of Cooking is en-
tirely and utterly false in every particular
opinion. that. too. is untrue. Mrs. Millar
told the writer, most emphatically, that
she had not done SO, and considered Joseph
Cocking's murder as atrocious as that of
her daughter, and the first intimation she
had OF his lynching was on the evening
after, when herself and son were on their
way to visit him.
Also, in your letter from Cox's station
Of the same date, your correspondent,
after commenting on the bad character of
Matthews, the alleged murderer of Irwin,
says: He Is another Cooking, so the peo-
pie here think. and no one has any sym
pathy to waste on him." Now, 80 far as
Cocking's character is concerned, until
this sad affair, 1t was the equal of that of
any man in this community. and no man
today can conscientiously " he is the
murderer of his wife and her sister, l have
1t on the authority Of two lawyers of the
state, who have carefully considered the
case, that. the evidence against him is
not even circumstantial, but Of the most
nimsy character, and that they believe him
innocent of the charge.
