WALTHER'S CASE DISMISSED.
Charge of Illegal Liquor Selling Is
Dismissed.

E. B. Walther, a saloon keeper at S25
Rice street, was before Judge Orr yes
terday charged with selling liquor to
Charles Arnston, a fourteen-year- old
lad. ArnSton was arrested the evening
Of July q, by Patroln1an Brennan, of
the Rondo street district, on a charge
of disorderly conduct. The complaint
in the case against Walther was not
filed or a warrant issued until Sept.
Is, the boys mother at that time swear
ing out the warrant. Just before the
warrant for Walther's arrest on a
charge Of selling liquor to the boy
was issued, Arnston had been arrested
for the larceny of pocketbook con-
tanning fifty cents The testimony yes
terday brought out the fact that Arm
ston Is now unde~ commitment at the
reform school. He testified that he pur-
chased three cams of beer at Walther's
saloon ON the afternoon of July 27, and
in order to procure the necessary coin
to make the purchase, he sold some
school books The lad identified Wal
ther as the person who sold him the
beer. John DucharIne, of 800 Gaultier
street, testified to seeing the lad in an
Intoxicated condition ON the night in
question, and also to having notified
Patrolman Brennan who arrested Arm
ston. Walther denied that he sold the
boy any beer, and said he was not at
home on the afternoon of July 81. Pa
trclman Brennan said the boy was not
drunk, but was somewhat disorderly
Ex-Sergt. Tegeier testified that the boy
had told him the morning following his
arrest that he had been given the beer
by man on Woodbridge street. Judge
Orr decided there was no convincing
proof as to Walther's sale Of the Hquor
and dismissed tbs case.
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1896-10-01

government has coined between 400
and 500 million Silver dollars, each as
good as a gold dollar as long as the
government was back of 1t with a
gold standard. But even these silver
| dollars have been as difficult to get
into circulation as the first coined. No
one wanted to handle them, and the
government offered to pay all express
charges to banks which would accept
them. The country, said Judge Elan
drau, has in circulation all the money
necessary to carry on domestic and
foreign commerce. The silver Is being
stacked UP in the vaults and lies idle
Yet the argument of Bryan and his
followers is that the country needs
more money, fallacious statement.
as 81 per cent of the commerce of the
United States is being transacted
through checks, drafts, etc., without
the direct use of cash. The speaker
showed that it was quality and not
quantity which was needed. 1t has
| been the history Of nations and the
grand expansion of commerce that the
| gold standard has been the only stable
basis Of successful government. Gold
is the best metal for the reason that 1t
was the most precious. the most diff
| ficult to obtain, it's value stable, and
! its production uniform. The production
| had never been so great that It's value
4 had suffered. 1t has been the history
| of this nation, that when two metals
are established upon a parity. that one
ultimately falls below the other. and
| that the cheaper money drives the
more precious into seclusion, The eff
| feet OF the possible introduction of
silver has already been seen In the
rapid retirement of gold as circulat-
| ing medium. 1t is almost impossible to
secure gold at any Of the banks.
| Judge Flandrau narrated the results
OF his Investigations in Japan and
Mexico. He declared that both coun-
tries were working steadily toward the
adoption of the gold standard.
s. A. Anderson followed In an ex-
tended address in which, he declared
that the Republican party and the
sound money Democrats were not ad-
vocating a revolution Of the financial
system of the nation. They were mere
/ ly working to secure the perpetuity Of
the system, which. during the past
years has advanced the commerce Of
America to it's present stupenduous
volunln.
Mayor r. 3. Doran followed. He said
that no amount Of legislation could es-
tablish and maintain two precious
metals upon a parity. Every expert
ment of this kind which had ever been
/ tried had resulted disaStrOusly,
