The WouId-be- Suicide Discharged-A
Fugitive From Justice.
The woman who was arrested on
Church street Sunday afternoon and
who afterwards tried to hang herself
in the lookup was discharged from the
New Haven hospital yesterday after
noon. The name given by the woman
when arrested is now thought to be
fictitious one. She gave the name as
Mary Connor and her residence
Cheshire, when she regained conscious
ness at the hospital. This is also
thought not to be the woman's real
name. Superintendent Starkweather
said last night that friends came after
the woman yesterday. He would not
deny that the woman's name had been
made known to him, but he would not
say what it was.
Though probably not conscious of it
the woman is a fugitive from justice.
Had she not been SO nearly successful
in the attempt upon her life, she
would, being a Sunday drunk" which
is q court case, have been arraigned
in the city court on Monday morning.
The bandanna handkerchief rendered
the appearing of the woman before the
court on Monday, and in all probability
the discharge from the hospital yester-
day effectually disposed Of the case for
there seems to be no desire on the part
of the police to run the risk OF another
hanging in the lookup.

Trouble in West Haven over an Assess
lnent for Altering Grade Under WASH
ington Avenue Railroad Bridge-Benefits
and Damages Estimated.
The assessment which has recently
been levied on certain West Haven
property owners has created consider
able indignation among them and they
threaten to make trouble unless some
action relieving them is taken at the
meeting Tuesday evening next.
The trouble has arisen over the build
ing of the Washington avenue railroad
bridge. 1t seems that during the past
year the warden and burgesses, hav-
ing decided that the grade under the
bridge was too sharp, determined to
assess property owners on Wharton
street and Washington avenue to pay
the cost of changing the grade. The
benefits awarded at q meeting March
~ We're $33.15 and the damages $S315.
At the time that the bridge was built
the railroad company stated that they
would make the grade under the bridge
a very small one by gradually lowering
the approaches to the bridge, Although
the railroad company notified the bor-
ough that they would do the work
without any cost to the borough, a few
of the property owners objected to the
200 n n
cided to have the borough do the grad
ing.
Now the property owners say that If
there had been no objection to the rail-
road company's proposition the grad
ing would have been done by the rail-
road without any expense to the bor-
ough.
The benefits and damages as estimat-
ed are as follows:
Wharton street-Benefits, H. F.
Wheeler $26, Harriet NJ. Anderson $3.50,
Mary F. Gum SIS, Nettie NJ. Brown $11,
Martha Guss$930, A. J. Thompson $3.50,

The @. e. Draws Tight Lines.

Willimantic, April 2s,-There is con-
siderable excitement in Christian En-
deavor circles here over the resolu-
tions recently adopted at a meeting
of the union, which was presented by
Rev. J. B. Lemon and which call for
the exclusion of members who follow
dancing, card playing and theater 60
ing This resolution was passed by
the Christian Endeavor convention.
The society connected with the First
church here repudiates it and call for
it's withdrawal. On the other hand
Rev. Mr.. Lemon has received letters
of congratulation from Secretary f. L.
Wilkin, d. D., of Chicago, and from
r. S. Macarthur. d. D., on the step
which he took, saying that the same
should have been adopted long time
ago.

Jacob Oberts was arrested for drunk

lie was found by Sergeant Dunn of

He told the officer that he had been as
saulted, but the story was not believed
as there was unmistakable evidence
of the mans having fallen. DR.. Park

THE ANARCHY ISSUE.

When General Palmer was nominal
ed at Indianapolis We called attention
to the fact that IN 1871 General Palmer.
then governor of Illinois, had protested
against the usurpation of states rights
by the general government and left the
Republican party for that very reason.
We pointed out the analogy between
his protest against such interference
and Governor Atgeld's two years ago.
The Springfield, Mass, Republican
comments at length upon the two
cases. 1t says that no part of the Chi
caso platform has been more strongly
objected to by the Democratic boilers
than that which denounces federal in
terference in state affairs, as in the
case of the Chicago strike riots, and
that no part of the platform has been
more generally pointed to as indicating
the anarchisic tendencies of the Chi
cago convention than this part. It
then calls attention to the declarations
of the Indianapolis convention on this
subject and recites the history of the
introduction of federal troops into Chi
cdSO III 1911 at the time OF the great
fire. These troops came on the invi-
tation Of the mayor. but Sheridan did
not comply with the request until he
had communicated with the war de-
partment and obtained its consent.
Governor Palmer at once protested.
and scored the mayor for his action.
He addressed a letter to President
Grant declaring the federal troops
were in Chicago in violation of the
constitution and the rights of the state
Of Illi1ois. Part of his protest was as
follows.
1t seems to ms to be very we'll settled
as a principle of American public law.
THAT the duty Of protecting person. and
property and the preservation of pub
lie order and peace against the efforts
of disorderly persons, or from local in
ternal disturbance, is the peculiar and
exclusive duty of the states. with
which the government of the United
States has no concern and in which If
cannot interfere, except upon the ap-
plication of the legislature or the ex-

onuGArIoN NOR NEcEssARY.

Secretary Carlisle is reported as say
ing that under free coinage the gov
eminent would be under no obligation
TO maintain the silver dollar at a par
ity with gold" Under free coinage
the silver dollar will do its own main
tanning" 1t maintained its parity I'M
til struck down by adverse legislation
and 1T will do it again the moment IT
is released and fully RECEIVERS from
cumbersome legislation. But, assum-
ing, for arguments sake, that the Sill
yer dollar might need the aid of the
government to be kept at parity, why
would not the government be obliged to
extend that aid? Why would it not be
morally obliged? What is the govern
ment. and for whaf purpose was IL
created? Is it a power wholly indie
pendent of the people? Mr.. Carlisle
speaks of it as if it were an individual,
or body corporate, entirely disassoci-
ated from popular autonomy; as II 1t
were the creator instead of creature OF
organized society. Governments are
not created to Cypress, nor to incum-
Der the public veal. They are of the
people and fer the people, and derive
all their powers from the voice of the
governed. The government, therefore,
is the people, and, as a creature of
popular sovereignty, it is obliged,
through its creator, TO conform to that
policy which is best intended to pro-
mote the public welfare. To contend
that the government might not be able
to maintain a parity does not mean
that the people could not obligate it to
do So But neither Mr.. Carlisle nor
any one else has a right TO assume
that the silver dollar would have to
use the government as a. crutch in
order to stand up alone. 1t stood alone
for decades before the act of 1873 and
it can do 1t again.

How PARITY IS MAINTAINED.

a correspondent writes to the Phila-
delphia Record as follows:
In your issue of Monday, August 81,
in reply to a correspondent, you say
that with free coinage the government
would no longer be responsible for pre-
serving the parity of silver dollars with
gold What method does the govern
ment now pursue to preserve the par
ity between the two dollars? L ask
this question because have seen it
stated repeatedly, in what 1 considered
good authority, that the government
would not give gold dollars in exchange
for silver dollars, or rather that there
was no law compelling it to do so.
Hence am alt a loss to understand
how it preserves the parity.
The answer that the Record makes is
a most remarkable one for it, being a
fierce opponent of free silver, though
1T is a true one. 1t says. THE parity
is preserved by the acceptance of sill
yer dollars for public dues. Customs
taxes are largely paid with silver GER
tiffcates. AS long as silver dollars shall
remain legal tender for debt, though
not exchangeable directly for gold at
the treasury, the parity viii be main
tanned"
That admits all the advocates of free
silver contend for. 1t is but fair to the
Record to say that 1T contends that
with free coinage of silver for private
account the government would assume
no responsibility except as to the cor
rect marking of the weight and fine
ness of the coins issued to the holder
of the bullion, and without the sup
port Of the government credit such
coins would soon find the level of their
actual intrinsic value. The government
would be under no obligation at all to
maintain the parity between gold and
silver further than to declare, in the
statute remonetizing silver. that silver
dollars shall be legal tender for all
purposes. What is the demand of the
Chicago platform in this particular? 1t
is that the standard silver dollar shall
be a full legal tender, equally with gold,
for all debts, public and private" IN
der legislation enacted in conformity
with this declaration silver dollars
would be accepted for public dues and
customs taxes, The silver men have
always contended that if silver were
renonetized and its legal tender quail
ity continued, there would never be any
trouble about the parity.

WHY GOLD IS COMING.

The money changers of Wall street
are trying to arrest the progress of
silver by over-stocI1ing the market
with gold. For three months they
have been working Jointly with the
European bankers to this end. The
European capitalists reduced the rate
of exchange SO that gold could be i'm
ported without loss and the New York
brokers are importing large sums for
no other apparent purpose than to over
stock the market and make it appear
as if the standard is not only abund-
ant as g. standard, but sufficient to
meet all the demands of commerce and
trade. The scheme is indeed trans
parent and bold. IL must be evident to
every one who is familiar with the
movement of gold at this particular
time the movement should not be so
one-sided. True it is about time to
prepare for moving American crops,
but even this does not explain away
the difference between the inflow of
gold and the outflow of bills of ex-
change. At this season of the year

SILVER REPUBLICANS ADDRESS.

The provisional committee of the Sill
yer, or Independent, Republicans have
issued an address to the people OF
Utah. The address is a full defense
and justification of their position. II
the Silver Republicans are to be true
to themselves there is no other course
left open to them than the one they
are now pursuing; and if they are true
to themselves they cannot be false 10
the people Of Utah. But they cannot
be true to themselves if they endorse
the action Of the st. Louis convention.
There is no escaping the logic of this
statement regarding the Mount Pleas
ant convention: IF the silver Repuh-
licans are in a majority, then a minor
ity of the party is attempting to coerce
them. If the Mckinley Republicans
are in majority. they could have
safely entrusted the entire work to
one convention
This address puts the Republican
state committee upon the defensive. so
far as the silver question is concerned,
and before the people OF the state it
will have to explain it's action or else
absolutely ignore the question that the
people will demand must be answered.
It's very. action in calling two conven-
lions was a confession of weakness,
and it is already beginning to reap
some of the fruits of such weakness.

ecutive of the states, as contemplated
by the fourth section of the fourth ar
ticle Of the constitution; and that any
attempt by the officers of the United
States army to employ any part of the
military forces as proposed must be
improper, because violative of the con-
stitution and the laws.
The Republican says that Governor
Palmer exposed himself to the same
charge of being in sympathy with the
robbery and lawlessness going on
amidst the ruins of Chicago just as
Governor Altgeld did. It thinks nobody
ever seriously entertained this idea of
Palmer. AND IN fairness thinks Altgeld
should be favored with the same ex-
emption. 1t very truly says that
Palmer, no less than Altgeld, was real
ly asserting old Democratic doctrine.
OF course it was, just as the declara-
ton in the Chicago platform is. The
Republican closes its article with these
words:
But Democrats who denied the right
Of President Grant at will to move
troops about in the southern states in
carpet-bag times. and who had to face
the charge in consequence of being in
sympathy with the kuklux and ballot
box outrages, may perhaps be consid-
cred now, py former members of that
party at Least, as privileged to ques-
ton the action OF President Cleveland
