bring about & change in England
that will be ruinouS from itssudden-
ness and severity. The damage that
can be done British manufacturers
by protective tariff is slight COM
pared with the disasters that woul d
be entailed by a change from a
single gold to a complete bimetallic
standard.
"The success of free coinage will
bring down the rate of interest on
money, and cause an immediate rise
in the price of all commodities.
When silver becomes primary
money the American mines will
pour their products into the minis
and a new era similar to that pro-
duced by the issue of greenbacks
during the civil war will begin.
Gold will leave the banks and enter
into competition with silver in the
avenues of trade, and the manufac-
tories which have been crippled
since 1892 will again resume their
fight for the English market
at matters not to Great Britain
which party succeeds if the gold
standard is maintained, but either
of the old parties or a new party
which goes into power pledged to
free coinage will be inimical and
prejudicial to English manufactures
and trade.
"The American people are mass
ing now on free silver. When that
issue comes fairly before the Amer
lean people, England will regret
her apathy and adherence to the
single gold standard.

"Pshaw. Tell him your boss is not in.

'Your boss is not in. Understand that,

Fool That's not right. Say to him: I

"Yis. sor."

"Tho financial situation in the
United States is very serious. The
condition of affairs in the United
States Congress demands the imme-
diate attention of British fnanciers
and statesmen. The trade of the
world is now in our hands, but it
will not long remain there if the
United States goes to a bimetallic
basis with free and unlimited coinage
of silver.
"With the addition of silver to
the volume Of money, everything in
America would take on a new face;
labor and industry would gain new
life. The grip Of the gold standard
on the products of the world would
be lOOsened and prices would rise.
Great Britain would lose her mar
kets in South America, Asia and
Europe, and American ships would
not be long in capturing the carry
ing trade of the world.
British creditors must now apply
themselves quickly to the American
money problem. The American
people are now thoroughly aroused
and educated on the power and use
IF money, and made desperate by
1ebt and business depression, they
ire forcing free silver as the main
ssue."
Great Britain need feel no injury
10 her trade or investments if the
party can force pro
ection tariff as the main issue in
The coming presidential campaign,

mind and carries at the polls, it will

WOMEN IN THE COURTS.
Degree of Honor Troubles Are Aired,
But No Decision Rendered.

A little foretaste of what might happen
should the coming woman be allowed to gain
the ascendency sufficiently to have her OPP
crate the government, or branch of it,
was seen in the court room of Judge jam
ison yesterday, when the case Of Matte
Michon ct al. VS.. Ella H. Mentor, grand
chief of honor, of the Degree Of Honor, A.
0. U. W., was called.
The court room was filled with women,
who were gathered to hear the contest for
supremacy between the warning factions.
The history Of the case, as developed by the
argument, shows how women fight when
they do fight. Some time ago Ella H. Men
tor, chief of the degree in Minnesota took
away the charter of Banner Lodge No. o.
because it refused to initiate Mrs Belle
Crandal. AS soon the charter was taken
other women banded themselves together
with Mrs. Crandall and organized a new
Banner lodge, with the former members.
remainder of the lodge property.
Immediately the former members applied
TO the court for a writ of mandamus, COM
polling the grand chief to deliver over the
charter and give back the right to exist
This was heard, and the attorney for the
respondents moved that the order be quashed
for the reason that all remedies at law
had not been exhausted. He contended that
and belongings, and could bring an action
to compel the grand chief to annul her
former order. According to the bylaws and
the constitution, there was also appeal
from the order of the grand chief to the
grand lodge, which had not been taken as
yet.
The attorney for the REALTORS went over the
history of the lodges, and claimed that the
grand chief had become angered, and had
vented her spite upon her former subjects
He spoke at considerable length, but Judge
Jamison stated that he would hear the full
argument Saturday, on the merits of the
case, providing he did net grant the motion
of the respondent. He will give his decision
as to that Wednesday next

them, and in very few minutes after it was
announced that the candidates were about to
receive in the hallway on the second floor.
For over forty-fve minutes steady string
of people found their way up stairs and
grasped the hands Of the two old soldiers To
those who attended the Bryan reception it
was particularly noticed that perhaps, half
as many again participated in the reception
Of the National Democratic candidates than
did in the reception of Mr.. Bryan. Union veter-
ans grasped the hand of Gen. Buckner,
against whom they fought in the war as
cordially as they did the hand of Gen. Palmer
1t was further evidence that the Mason and
Dixon line had been obliterated. One old SOL
der as he shook the hand Of Buckner in
formed that gentleman that the last time he
saw him was when he was a prisoner in the
hands Of the Union soldiers, after the capture
of Fort Donaldson. The recollection of the
event was, OF course. mutual, and the old
man held the generals hand so long that
those in the fore part of the line had to finally
ask him to kindly pass along.
dered Gen. Palmer and Gen. Buckner the
parlors of the West hotel were taken DOS
session of by members of the fair sex, and
a similar courtesy was extended to the la
dies OF the Palmer Buckner party. The sec
ond reception had been hastily planned the
evening before, when it was ascertained that
in Minneapolis, and the details were left
in the hands of the wives of the citizens
who formed the committee that received the
nominees.
U0Gu
used for the Morrison ball the evening be-
fore remained in place. and added to those
which were provided by the committees of
the two receptions, made imposing ef-
feet of smilax garlands, palms and roses.
The northeast suite Of parlors was used
and orchestra was stationed in the west
end to discourse light music during. the re-.
ception. In the hallway a large bowl of
raspberry frappe offered refreshment. It was
a disappointment that Mrs. Palmer was not
present to meet the women, and She aid
not arrive in Minneapolis until IL o'clock
last evening, having been detained on the
way by Illness. Mrs. Buckne1, however
was with the party when 1t arrived Ia the
morning, and was accompanied by Mrs
Richards, OF Chicago Both ladies' were at
the reception and met one hundred or more
of the Minneapolis women who ayailed them
selves of the opportunity to greet the wife
of the candidate for vice president.
Mrs. Buckner's charming personality made
itself Immediately felt in the groups which
came forward to meet her. She was simply
