Two abandoned infants. one white and
the other colored. have been sent to ST.
AIMS Asylum by the sixth precinct officers
during the last twenty-four hours. The
white baby was found by Policeman Kim
mel on the sidewalk on New Jersey ave
nue., opposite the sixth police station, early
last night. Soon after 9 o'clock the Off
GERS attention was ATTRACTED TO a bundle.
and upon investigation he found the infant,
apparently three or four weeks DID, wrap
ped in shawl. In the bundle he also
found some undcrgarments for the child.
There was nothing in the bundle which
would in any way assist the officer in his
efforts to ascertain who had abandoned
the infant and who might have been guilty
of a more serious crime had not the officer
found the infant so soon. The colored
child. also less than two Fonths old, was
found this morning in a Bundle near the
botanical garden fence on 1st street. A
coiored woman named Mary Jones, who
made the discovery, turned the child over
to the police.

Green was charged with carrying a loaded
revolver and blackjack. and also with
disorderiy conduct. Judging from the tes-
ti,nony presented. Green's conduct las.

person he ever arrested.
Green boarded North Cap:tol street oar

cDce proceeded to take charge of the con-
Feyancc. He stopped the horses time and
again, indulSing in violent and profane
language as an accompaniment, much to
the distress of lady passenger The
driver finally requested Green to pay his
fare. but he refused, saying: I'm running
this car.
The driver called to policeman, and the
latter advised Green TO pay his fare and
thereby avoid trouble. The man produced
a dollar bill and demanded change. which
was promptly supplied by the driver. He

Illler. in disposing of the case that when
on duty special policemen have no more
right to carry weapons than private citi-

night. On the contrary. you were beast1v
intoxicated. and It's wonder you are not
here charged with murder. With that
pistol you would have killed anybody thai

Your opinion that bimetallism has re-
ceived its coup de grace in the recent cleo
tion somewhat a3tonishes me- The ST.
Louis platform stands distinctly commit
ted to International bimetallism; the main
tenance Of the gold standard is declared to
be cnly provisional. 1t is quite true tina t
many Of the arguments of republican ora
tors and journalists looked toward the
permanent establishment of single stand
ard; but the party is not bound by the
arguments of it's orators, and 1t ought to
be bound by the clear pledges of it's plat
form. Mr. Hanna himself is your witness
that the western states were carried by
convincing the voters that the republican
party was committed to international bi-
metallism, and would do it's utmost to Sc
cure it. l, myself, know quite a number of
voters who supported Mckinley on the
strength Of those pledges, and would never
have voted for him nor any other man on
the gold platform adopted at indianapolis.
That the country has pronounced In favor
of single gold standard is I OF the fact,
as I understand 1t: and can hardly bring
myself to believe that Mr.. Mckinley and
bis party can be guilty Of deliberately turn
ing their backs on all their most solemn

MUNICIPAL BUILDING

I'VE believe that the time has now ar
rived when the board Of trade should CO.
operate with our people generally to Sc
cure an appropriation for building. to be
erected upon Judiciary Square, for the
accom- mediation Of the courts Of the Dis

Ing an appropriation for a municipal build
Ing. 1t is believed that In the near future
this obstacle may disappear. and that Con-
gress may be induced to look favorabiy
upon SUFFICIENT appropriation to begin
the proposed building.
1T Is well known that courts Of the Dis
trict are inadequately provided for in the
present court building. The Court of Ap-
peals Is especially restricted fy the quar-

A melted silver dollar is worth only
SO cents. 1t is worth SO cents because
it contains SO cents worth Of bullion,
which has the same value after it is
melted as it had before. 1t is not worth
any more than So cents. because the AZ
cents worth of confidence which it con-
tanned before it was melted has been
destroyed. Free coinage means the de-
struction of the public confidence in the
American dollar. 1t means SO cent
dollar instead of the 100 cent dollar
we have now.
The Maryville times. (Maryville, Tenn.) 1884-1944, 1896-10-15

Are you insured? Free coinage would
cut down the value Of your policy one
half by making the policy payable in so
cent dollars instead of 100 cent dollars
as now. Have you any money in bank?
Free coinage would reduce the value Of
it one-half for the same reason. Do you
draw pension? Free coinage would
diminish the value of it one-half again
for the same reason. Free coinage
would take away one-half the value Of
all the money you received.

Today it requires 81 ounces Of silver
to purchase 1 ounce of gold. If we coin

be forcing on ourselves dollar Of a

being kept up to value of 100 cents

A tricky dollar never yet made any
