Senator Shermnn's Plan.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
If public opinion can compel the Senate
to listen to reason, is there not hope that
Senator Sherman has discovered simple
remedy for the treasury gold famine? Sec
rotary Carlisle claims that only gold bonds
can be sold to advantage, yet though the
good faith of the government is pledged to
pay coin bonds in the best money, Congress
will not set the question at rest by making
the bonds say what they mean, because
some members are afraid of being called
gold bugs. Again, it is perfectly clear that
the depletion OF the treasury must go on
as long as greenbacks and treasury notes
must be redeemed in gold and reissued
indefinitely. yet Congress is unwilling to au-
thorize the retirement of the greenbacks
Comes now John Sherman, ne has in
many former crises, with simple resolu-
ton that provides for the maintenance of
the treasury to redeem its notes beyond
question, and skillfully lodges the retire.
ment bugbear by directing that notes, when
redeemed, shall not be reissued, except in
payment for gold coin or bullion. Ii the
government pays gold for greenbacks upon
demand, can even such financial weaklings
admit the justice OF requiring gold for
their reissue? BY this plan spectators
and gold exporters would be prevented
from preying upon the treasury for their
own profit, and any injurious reduction in
the volume OF currency would be provided
against. II is TO be hoped that the au-
thor's explanation of his resolution will
convince the sound money men of both
parties that here is a chance to do their
country great service. Even in the Senate
there must be enough common sense and
patriotism to convince a majority that
something must be done. and done soon, to
prevent these constantly recurring crises
iSfacti0n, also. in having Senator Sherman
close his great financial career with a COM
promise measure that should win per force
the support OF reluctant majority. j.

higher for the better class of cattle. Choice
cattle were remarkably scarce and sales at

Nearly all the beef cattle on sale crossed
the scales at $3.2OQ4.50, and the bulk sold at
s.. 75Q4.2. Butchers and Gamers supplies
were light and the demand very good and
cows sold chiefly at $1.SQ3.10 Export bulls
were a little higher and calves OF the best
class had a further rise of 75cG$1 per 100
lbs, sales being made at s6q7. The stocker
and feeder trade was dull at $2.5043.13 but
prices were 1OQ16c. Texas fed cattle were a
little higher, with sales at Sq3.1o. Next

heavy sales in California and Territory

so general demand from smaller mills. The
last half of the week has been very quiet.

JUST DEBT REPUDIATED.
Frederick Sanders, Jr., Pleads In
fnncy as a Bar 90 a Contract.

Mrs. NJ. A. Marsh, formerly employed as
a clerk in Sanders Bros ice cream parlor
on South Meridian street, brought suit TO
recover wages amounting to $3.50 due her
while in their employ. Frederick Sanders.
jr., his father, Frederick Sanders, ST., and
his two brothers, Henry c. and John, were
made parties to the suit. She alleged the
defendants We're copartners. IT seems Mrs
Marsh was employed by Frederick Sanders
jr. On the witness stand he testified that
he is sole proprietor OF the place on South
Meridian street, and that his father and
brothers have no connection with the es-
Enlistment. He also testified he is minor
and said it is his intention to repudlate the
debt, although he admitted making a con-
tract with Mrs. Marsh, agreeing TO pay her
- a week. he said he supposed the amount
she claimed was correct John and Henry
Sanders owned milk depot on Virginia
avenue during the time the other store was
in operation. They both denied having any
interest in the Meridan-street store, and
said IL was owned and operated by their
brother Frederick. 1t was shown that the
elder Sanders had no interest in the differ
ent enterprises Of his sons and the case
against him was dismissed. The evidence
showed Frederick Sanders kept the store
under the name and style Of Sanders Bros
Mrs. Marsh said she always understood
that John and Henry were partners in the
business, that Fred had so stated TO her.
Frederick's two older brothers testified that
they sold milk and other products 10 him,
but that he always paid for them They adj
mitted that they knew he was running the
store as Sanders Bros. One Of them testi-
fed that he had loaned Frederick 500. but
that it had been repaid. He said that il
was not loaned for the purpose OF invest
ment i'm the business.
Justice Walpole rendered judgment for
the amount, $500 in favor OF Mrs. Marsh
against Henry c. and John Sanders. He
said as Frederick had pleaded the statute
of infancy, no judgment could be rendered
against him. He thought his brothers.
however, knew their brother was conduct
ing the business on their name and credit,
and should be held liable for the legitimate
debts incurred in the business.
