a Novel Suit Involving In Some Degree
the status of the FIance.
a novel question is involved in a suit
now on trial in the state district court
at Galveston. Allen Taylor, an en-
poye of the International & Great
Northern railway, died in Houston
March IL, 1895, from injuries received
In a wreck on that road that day,
He had his life insured in favor Of
his fiancee, Miss Josie O'Shea of Gal
weston, in the Travellers MuMal In
surance Company, for 81 800. Shortly
after his death suit was filed in the
district court against the insurance
company and Miss O'SSsa, to restrain
the company from paying the amount
to the beneficiary designated, and to
compel payment to Mrs. Mary c. Tay-
lor mother of deceased, and his sisters,
Laura Sheetz and Fannie Ingram, who
are Joined pro forma by their husbands,
Arthur l.. Sheetz and Frank Ingram.
The petition alleges that the designated
beneficiary was not related to deceased,
and that plaintiff, Mary c. Taylor, is
a widow, the deceased being her sole
support, and that she and the other
plaintiffs were his only legal heirs. No
case wherein the validity OF the insur-
ance in favor OF a sweetheart was in
volyed has heretofore been presented to
any court in Texas and there is but one
case on record in the United States
where the case has been adjudicated.
The case referred to is reported in the
Fifty-second Missouri Reports, and II
was decided by the supreme court o.
that state that such insurance was
valid.

WOULD HURT INSTEAD or HELP.
How Free Coinage Would injure tho
Farmers. 81,

How free Coinage Would lnjurc the
Farmers.
The chief strength of the sixteen to
one agitation lies in the belief that it
would benefit the agricultural classes.
all human experience show conclusive-
ly that free silver would cause wide
spread and prolonged injury to the
farmers of this country.
The mere threat of free coinage would
greatly injure the farmers by causing
an immediate calling in of all loans
through the natural desire of lenders to
get back money worth as much as they
lent. Hundreds of thousands of farmers
would be unable to pay their mort
cages, and their farms would be sold at
sacrifice. No new loans would be
forthcoming, as the owners of capital
would not invest so long as there was
any danger that by a change in the
money standard the value of loans
would be cut in two. AS the chief COM
plant of the farmers now is that inter-
est is too high and capital too scarce,
the effect of policy which would make
capital scarcer and dearer can be
figured out by each farmer for himself
A second way in which free coinage
would hurt agriculture would be by the
financial panic which would inevitably
follow the overthrow of our present
sound financial system and the adoption
of the unstable cheap silver standard.
With the millions of bank depositors
demanding their savings, the machinery
of credits, by which so large a part of
the country's business is done, would be
suddenly stopped. Merchants would be
unable to buy goods for lack of credit:
manufacturing industries would be
closed down, as in 1898, and millions
of workers would be idle. Men out of
employment do not buy as much farm
products as when they are at work, and
the farmers who now complain of the
lack of markets for their produce would
find themselves with large part of
their crops unsold Would not this be
serious injury to agriculture?
Another evil which free coinage would
bring to American farmers would be
the unsettlement of their trade rela-
tions with the great gold standard COM
mercial nations, which purchase each
year S600,000,000 worth of our surplus
farm products. The adoption of the sill
yer standard, with it's constantly fluctu-
ating scale of prices, would prove the
same barrier to commerce between this
and other countries that it has to trade
between gold standard Europe and In
dia, China and Japan. Do the farmers
want to curtail and unsettle our foreign
trade?
These are some of the ways in which
free coinage at sixteen to one would
hurt the farmers. No advocate of So
cent dollars has ever been able to show
a single way in which it would help
them.
Marietta daily leader. (Marietta, Ohio) 1895-1906, 1896-08-22

UNDER date of August 10th, Mr. Geo.
r. Grafton, who from his position as a
travelling man, is competent to pass
judgement on the silver sentiment,
writes as follows:
'It is almost impossible to work an
order out of dealers. They tell me
they don't NEED any thing, are not sell
ing anything and that they won't buy
anything until after they see how this
election is going.
From present indications over the
country which l haye travelled, the
sound money cause has gained and is
gaining thousands of converts daily.
Maryland is strung up to high tension
on gold. l did not see a silver man
while was in that state, and l will
bet money that it goes for Mckinley.
"he same on West Virginia
1.-The same that Mckinley is elected
by the largest majority ever given a

college, and SO predict 1897 will be

Another Recollection.

The mill below the dam on the West
Side was water mill, run for time
by Smith & Mcbride. Other firms ran it
at various times. At the trial of Nc
Bride and Stiles, for burning Grams
mill. they were defended by Judge
David Greene and Judge johnson, of
Cincinnati, who was to be paid $3.50 for
his services. Just as Judge Johnson
was stepping on to the cars while they
were moving slowly from the Depot on
the West Side, Mcbride handed him a
roll of bills, and said Here is your fee. :"
When the Judge opened the roll he
found only $50, not $3.50 as Mcbride had
intimated. Judge Green, after waiting
long time for his fee, sued Mcbride.
This raised McBride's ire, and in the
absence of his wife (who was visiting
at Chillicothe) stationed himself at his
cham ber window, at the corner of Sec
ond and Scanned streets, and as Judge
Greene was going to his dinner, fred
charge of shot into his neck and
shoulder. A crowd was soon raised,
headed by Capt. ]. f. Huntington, with
a rope to have Mcbride properly dis
posed of, who in the mean time had
barricaded his doors and sitting down at
his window, began leisurely to smoke
his cigar. Hiram Lewis, armed with a
shot gun, was stationed behind tree
in front of the house, with orders to
shoot Mcbride if he moved. After a
time Mcbride moved quickly from the
window. Lewis shot through the win
dow, but of course did not hit him. No
sooner was this done than Mcbride ap-
peared at the window and fred, filling
Lewis neck and shoulder full of shot
This caused the mob to be more excited,
and as Mcbride found that his back
door was being opened, he lay down on
his bed and fred three balls into his
heart, from what was then called a
pepperbox revolver. He was dead be-
fore his room could be reached. / re-
moved the shot from Judge Greene and
Lewis and examined Mcbride after he
was dead. b. f. HART.

Purchasing Power of Cheap Money.

Maj. Sanders, OF Louisville. who served
in the confederate army, recalls that in
January, 1865, he tried to buy hand
kerchief in Meridian, Miss, but found
he could not afford it, the price lin con-
federnte money! having been $3.50, and
as compromise he bought paper col
lar for SIPS. With gentlemen to whom
collars and handkerchiefs are super
fluffy such object lessons from the past
will have very little weight. The marvel
is that the imitation craze should have
got such hold upon the people of the
south, where the ebitter experience with
confederate money should have lasted
for the present generation at least
