PRESS COMMENT.
Ciear the Way for Justice.

The Democratic courts have been send
ing criminals to the penitentiary so
rapidly this year that the penitentiary il
too small to hold them all. Although
the courts have been doing good work
there are few more of the residents oil
the territory who ought to be within the
protecting walls of the territorial prison
Silver City Eagle.

In his remarks In his joint debate
with Secretary Hoke Smith at At
lanta. Georgia, a few days ago, ex-
Speaker Crisp said: "When you pass
law providing for free coinage you
make the gold and silver of equal
value" If the mere passage of free
coinage law would make silver and
gold of equal value, it will do some
thing that has never yet been accom-
plished in the history of the world. 1t
was something that was not accom-
plished under the free coinage laws
which were on the statute books from
the foundation of the republic to 1873.
During the years that the law allowed
both metals to be coined free at our
minis, only one was coined and the
other went to the market because the
commercial value was greater than it's
coinage value. First it was silver that
went to the mint, and gold went to
the market. Then in the early
thirties the ratio was changed to 1898
to in hopes that they would both
circulate side by side. and this under
valued silver and that went to the
market, and while we had so-called
bimetallism, it did not in reality ex-
ist, and gold was practically the
standard, and has remained so since.
The history of free coinage in France
is practically the same, while one
metal was freely coined the other was
not. Law can establish legal ratio
between the two metals, but it cannot
establish the equal commercial value
of the two. That is something be-
yond the power of man.

the land in eight 5leading newspapers
of the counties where the land is
located, and also in two Mankato
papers. The change of date was also
advertised in the same papers. Every
thing was done. fairly and openly. He
believed that one or two other bids
were received, but were rejected as
being two low. The bid of Messrs.
Hubbard and Palmer was considered
very good one, and many expressions
to this effect were received. The es-
tate owed $4,000 on the Rawson con-
tract at the time of the sale, and only
So, 782.4O had been paid on it. The
total amount, including interest and
taxes, paid on the land to the time of
the sale, was S7,214.S7, so that there
was profit of about 81 800 by the
sale.
Geo. M. Palmer was seen and made
similar statement. In buying the
land, he and Mr.. Hubbard paid $3.50,
assumed $4,000 due on the Rawson
contract, assumed S31,2l9 due the
state, or SAP an acre, and also taxes
from 1889, so that the total cost of
the land to them at the time of the
purchase was over $50,
Mrs. Smith, when seen, stated that
she considered the land to be worth
100000 at the present time. She
said that the suit might be dismissed
before night and another started.
She expected Mr.. Knox to arrive this
afternoon.
The first part of the probate pro-
ceeding was brought under Judge
Mead, and the latter part under
Judge Torrey. The latter states that
Mrs. Smith objected to the sale, as
the price was to low, but later with
drew her objection, through her at
tOrney. While the objection was
standing, he had delayed ratifying
the sale. He had desired to have the
land sold in sections instead of in the
bulk, hoping that it would realize
more that way.

and as there will be no one hurt by
his candidacy, we will throw no

H. A. Reynolds, Of Madison coun-
ty, was chosen as a candidate for
Secretary of State.
]. F. Mayes, of Washington coun-
ty. was nominated for Auditor.
The convention adjourned until
2 o'clock for further deliberation
before finishing the ticket. The
platform has not been adopted,
but it will be one of the Mckinley
brand when it is produced and will
go through with a rush, as Svangah

STATE REPUBLICAN LEAGUE.
B. II. Foreman Elected Chairman
Harmonious Session.

Tuesday, the Both, ult., the Ark
ansas Republican League met at
Little Rock, a. Greenwood Park,
The Gazette says there was a large
gathering of representative Re
publicaus from all parts of the
state and every one of them was
felicitous over McKinley's nomina-
tiOn, remembering that Arkansas
was the first state in the Union to
instruct for the Canton statesman.
Secretary Holt, after having call
ed the League to order, and reading
telegram from Mckinley, nom
mated Hon. B. NJ. Foreman of Tex
arkana, for chairman, who was
elected by acclamation.
On taking the chair Mr. Foreman
made a fine speech, which was
frequently applauded. He begun
by saying that there was lone great
question upon which there was no
doubt a majority of the people
agreed upon and that was that Nc
Kinley would be the next President
of the United States. (Applause).
He referred with pride to the fact
that Arkansas, under the leader
ship of Gen. Powell Clayton zap
plause), had been the first to in
struct for Mckinley. Mr.. Foreman
mentioned the names of the dis
tinguished Republicans who had
competed with Mckinley for the
nomination, and complimented each
of them. Mckinley was a platform
in himself. He arraigned the
State and National Democracy for
mismanagement and doing nothing,
Then announced the League open
for business.
We are glad to see our fellow
citizen, who is a live and euthuSi
