The charge as made is not true in

our London contemporary says, ana va

implies great jealousy Of our liberty.
Every true American loves liberty and
hates restraints which do not arise from
ms own sense Of right and are there
fore. sclf-imposcd. Thomas Jefferson was
TO this extent something OF an Anar-
chist himself. lie believed in law as
necessity to the protection Of life, lber-
ty, and property. but he believed in 10
more law than was absolutely necessary
TO these ends.
In his Notes On Virginia, writing Of the
manners and customs Of the Virginia
Indians. and the absence Of any fixed
laws, he said:
Their only controls are their man
ncrs. and that moral sense Of right and
wrong. which Ike the sense of tasting
and feeling, in every man, makes part
OF his nature. An offence against these
is punished by contempt, by exclusion
from society, or. when the case Is Sc
rious. as that Of murder by the individ-
uals whom it concerns. Imperfect as
this species of coercion may seem, crimes
are very rare among them, insomuch that

law, as among the savage Americans. or
too much law, as among the civilized Eu-
rOpeans, submits man TO the greatest
evil, one who has seen both conditions
OF existence would pronounce IT TO be the
last; and that sheep are happier Of them
selves than under the care OF wolves
The difference between the American
and the European is that the tendency
of the one is towards less and less law,
or. technically speaking, Anarchy, while
the tendency OF the other is towards more
and more law or Socialism. OF the two,
the least law is the least evil. Anarchy.
as ordinarily understood. red-handed and
savage is destructive and abhorent, but
anarchy civilized and restrained by re-
gard for necessary law, is nothing less
than the enjoyment OF the greatest liber-

with all that may be said against Grover

is the legend Of the nilk-white doe We
gathered IL fresh from Tie historic Island
ana we know It TO be true, because We
have been there.
In the early settlement Of that Island
ana soon after Virginia Dare had dis

often seen to dart gracefully across the
marshes. and was tl'S envy o.. every
sportsman on the island. Various efforts
y ere made TO bring down the mliS-whlte

though one had shot az the ghost Of
deer. so easily did the lovely animal
clude the bullets Of the most expert
shots.
But finally an old Indian squaw was
found who agreed. for a consideration TO
disclose 20 huntsman the secret ~
which the milk-white doe could De kill

Yer bullet could break the spell by which
the mlk-whte doe was protected, ,ut
that with such q bullet the game was
sure to tumble The huntsman lost no
time I'm moulding n silver bullet and hav-
ing loaded his gun herewith, preceded
to hunt for the game. 1t was not long
before her trail was found, when bang
went the gun and down came the lovely
creature with a dun thud. The huntsman
rushed up to secure his prize, Lat the
look Of pathos wnicn came tro1 tie

Linn the feeling Of pity, and he kneeled
down to comfort the poor thing in her

The following dispatch comes out to
the press from Topeka. Kan:
The Populist leaders of Kansas pro-
pose to pass a law this winter through
the Kansas Legislature making Mexi-
can silver dollars legal tender for all
debts. They do not claim that such
coin could be made legal tender for
prior obligations, but they believe that
such statute would apply to future
debts and contracts. The advocates of
this scheme say that the Constitution of
the United States simply says on that
subject that no State shall make any
thing but gold and silver" legal tender.
and that II says nothing against foreign
coin OF those metals. They also point
10 the fact that the Congress Of the
United States has on several occasions
made foreign coins a legal tender. The
originator OF this novel scheme is 6. S.
King. who Is announced as a candidate
for the United States Senate to succeed
PETER.
The scheme, II will be perceived, is for
the state OF Kansas to say that a Mexi-
can silver dollar shall be legal tender
in payment OF all contracts that may be
hereafter made 10 pay a dollar. 1t may
be that the Supreme Court OF the United
States would sanction a law Of the State
OF Kansas that provided that Mexican
dollars should be legal tender In kan
sas for all promises to pay dollars when
II was plain that the promise was not
to pay the gold dollars Of the United
States or their equivalents. But the
law would have no force or effect out
side OF Kansas. and the Supreme Court
would undoubtedly pronounce II an I'M
constitutional and void law II it sought
10 make Mexican silver dollars LEGAL
tender in payment OF contracts 10 pay
United States gold dollars or their equiv
alents as a law impairing the obligation
Of contracts.
We can imagine nothing that would
operate more injuriously upon the inter
ests Of the people Of Kansas than a law
OF this sort. 1t would produce all sorts
Of confusion In the settlement OF bust
ness transactions. without producing the
slightest benefit. IT is Of course.
logical proposition. 10 flow out OF the
basic principle upon which the free
silver theory rests. for the whole founda-
ton OF that delusion is the erroneous
idea that great quantities Of coin and
circulating notes are necessary 10 the
business OF the people. and that what
ever Government puts It's stamp upon
IS thereby transformed into money. But
the fact that such a proposition can be
seriously made. illustrates how abso-
iutely innocent OF any understanding Of
the real principles Of finance the free
coner is. lie believes he can make
men richer by forcing worthless coins
or bits OF paper into the channels OF
finance through the physical power OF
the Government. But he cannot DO It,
