such nWorthy cause Thus far, the dis;
Icussion OF the financial question has
been marked by a simply disgraceftil
prevalence OF vile abuse. It is, we are
compelled to say, confined almost entire
IVY to one side Of the question The adyo-
Gates Of free coinage may, perhaps, offer
the excuse that their proposition rests
largely upon the gospel OF envy. hatred.
malice and all ..unch arita bleness. They
appeal to the voter on the ground that
he should hate his neighbor;; that he
should believe that he has been robbed
and that every mans nand is against
him, and that he should regard any one
who may differ honestly with him in
opinion as a swindl ersand a hired serving
man OF capital. TIL.
This sort of vile abuse has become SO
prevalent that it is time to call halt
and to expose, as they deserve, the men
who resort to it to public suspicion and
public contempt. A large portion Of the
newspapers of the country that advocate
the free coinage Of silver, and not q few
of the orators on that side, are on record
as referring repeatedly to the advocates
of sound money as corrupt" as gold
bug hirelings," as servants of corporate
greed and as a Subsidized press. "
Now, if any man. who uses these words
has one word of proof in his possession
to offer that the opinion of his opponents
has been Influenced by the considerations
here suggested. It is his duty to bring
forward that evidence and to drive from
with the shame Of his everlasting in
fanny. But if the man who uses these
terms has no proof; il lie seeks merely
to cast opprobriunl on men quite as sin
cere and az honest as himself; if he uses
invective because of the pauclty of: his
arguments, and tries to refer to secret
and abhorrent motives a. championship
which he cannot meet, then he is, es we
said at the beginning, either at heart an
unconscionable blackguard, or himself
bought for price; and is assembling to
others the only motives for action which
he can understand. We demand, in the
intrest of decency and the fair fame Of
the American people. that this species of
vituperation should stop.'-St. Paul

Did ever mortal listen to such hrazen
language? Take the above extract and
apply it TO the gold standard men as it
is here applied to the silver men, and it
will suit to nicely. Have not the gold
ties called the silver men all the vile
names they could conjure up? Have
they not daily and hourly applied to
them the names anarchists "repudia-
tors" and all manner of red-handed as
sassins Of the national welfare? The
Globe with its banker owner and Repub-
lican editor loses it's head when it at
tempts to discuss the question Of finance
now SO fiercely agitating the people. 1t
should make an attempt tn get back into
the ranks of Democracy to which it or
iginally belonged, but the general be-
lief is that it is past redemption.

WOMEN ON JURI !

, ~ III
Two women have been permitted q. TO
serve On 4 jury iii Judge Horizons court
in Chicago. It is the first step in that so
direction that ever occurred in this e1san
try. But apart from the novelty OF the
thing, why should any one be, surprised
at women serving on a: jury? Men con-
fide to them their inrbernnost secrets, i'm
plicitly trust them with the mana cement
OF the home and can look nowhere else
for any one to take their places in the
rearing and early instruction OF children,
and yet should q question come up
after hearing the evidence as to whether
Smith actually led Jones to believe that
he would pay him for his horse or that
Brown promised to marry Jerusha Rob-
inson, men are inclined to think that Wo-
men are not competent to form an optn>
ion upon matters Of such Importance,
but that a man who never had an opin-
ion of his own upon any subject, but who
always took his ideas second hand
wherever he could get them, wonld be
~ \ = y, H -,
competent to discuss and decide the
most abstruse problems, whether it
should be a matter OF fact or a matter Of
law, for sometimes jurles, as in Illinois,
for instance, are judges of the law as well
as the facts. s55@. ~
It is sometimes argued that a woman
is too emotional to serve on jury, that
in critical moments she would allow her
sympathies to overrule her Judgment.
and that she would ignore the law where
her affections were enlisted. Let 1t be
so. Oftentimes the law should be ig-
nored, even If it is supposed to be the
bulwark and the shield Of society. AS it
is now with men on juries and men as
counsel and presiding Judges all the i'm
portant cases are not decided according
to law, and juries composed of men are
every day being swayed by the eloquence
of gltb-tongued advocates, and forget
their oaths-that they are bound to de-
eide the case according; to the evidence.
BY all means let the women serve on
juries and forbid them not. - a.

sson this ii due to the fact that there is
SAID toshe-a a deal between Capt. Castle and
Marshal O'Connor. II Capt. Castle is dis
placed it will injure O'Connor's chances for
retention, in Office after the Cleveland adj
ninistratlon vacates, and ON account Of
till fact, it Is said that O Connor favors no
change lin the St. Paul postofice, believing
that il Cleveland retains Castle in office the
