MOST men st all familiar with fnan-
cial affairs, either by theory or practice,
of this as we'll as of all other countries,
are thoroughly convinced that the free
coinage of every fifty cents worth OF
silver into dollar will profit only two
classes of people, those who own the
silver mines and those who coin such
dollars without the authority of the
government, and that every body else,
but especially the wage earners, will be
ipjuriously affected by it. Still, it is
equally as plain to all we'll informed
men, that large majority of the dem
ocratic party, if not ofthe people, are in
favor of such coinage, and as the pres
ent uncertainty in respect Of the cur
rency question tends to prolong and
increase the existing depression in all
kinds of business and industry, and
as that question must be submit
ted to a test some time or other, it
would seem to be the wiser course to
subject it to a test as soon rs possible, so
as to have it definitely settled, in order
that the handicap its present condition
puts upon every kind of business may
be removed, and business people be
enabled to see what is before them, and
have at least some idea of the result OF
the possible enterprises in which they
NAV engage.

DANIEL ON SILVER.

Senator Daniel began an elaborate
speech on the silver issue in the Senate
yesterday evening The Butler bond
resolution was under consideration, but
the Senator touched very tenderly on
that radically populistic measure. AS
far as he went, it could be seen that
Mr.. Daniels speech is intended to be o
strong silver campaign document, and
will be circulated with that view during
the coming canvass.
Mr.. Daniel replied to the statement
of Mr.. Lindsay on Tuesday that Con
gress bad failed to respond to the dc.
mands of the President for the relief Of
the treasury. Mr.. Daniel said the only
request the President had made Of Con-
gress was to authorize the issue of gold
bonds. 1t was impossible, said the Sen.
ator, that the responsibility for exist.
Ing conditions should be removed from
the administration and placed on Con-
gress. Mr.. Daniel declared his ale
glance to sound money, the soundest
money in the world-gold and silver
and he arraigned those who applied the
title of "sound money" to gold mono
metalism. 1t was an evil day for the
democratic party, he said, when DEM
ocratic leaders joined hands with re.
publicans on financial questions.

The Senator spoke of the timidity of
the leaders to declare themselves on
the financial questions and referred to
"the great protectionist of Ohio who
enveloped himself in the same old plati-
tudes." Mr.. Daniel said that while he
was in favor of an international agree
ment, yet he was not in favor of wait
ing to put out the conAagration in cur
own country until Queen Victoria
sends q hose company to help us
to do it," In vigorous language
the Senator asserted that independent
action by the United States on the coin
age of silver would be as decisive on
Great Britain as had been the demand
to halt on the Venezuelan question.
The Senator criticised the financial
policy of the administration quite se-
verely, and laid down six fundamental
principles In favor OF the free and I'M

MURDER WAS PREVENTED
Policeman sullivan's Timely Ar
rival at a Notorious Dance Hall.
Judge Miller Ia Determined to Sup
press the Habit of Carrying
Deadly Weapons.

The police Of the Sixth precinct are hav-
ing considerable trouble with the persons
who attend the dances and cake-walks at
old Grand Army Hall. corner OF Sixth and
streets north wcst. The large apartment
which was formerly the scene of SO many
camp-fires and patriotic rallies with old
vets. as patrons, is now used as a colored
dance hall. and brawls and disorders are
OF frequent occurrence in the hall and on
the nearby thoroGghfarcs.
On Monday night Charles Boynton, a
colorcd waiter. Of No. 6 Dingman place,
was seriously assaulted there with cobble-
stones by three negroes.

Hospital ward, with badly fractured
skull. His supposed assailants. Harry War
field, Matthew Grren and Harry Lewis,
are now held ut Lieut.. kelly's station TO
await the result OF BoyntOn's injuries.
The timely arrival of Policeman suni-
van, OF the sixth precinct last night at the
hall no doubt prevented tragedy. Among
those who attended the ball was Josephine
Johnson. n flashily-dresscd but determined
looking young cOlored woman.
She learned that her best young man had
been escOrting young mulatto girl named
Lizzie to the shrine OF Terpsichore. where
he had whirled through the may figures
OF the waltz with her. When Josephine
demonstrated with Lizzie for keeping COM
pany with the youth, the latter called her
foul names.
Josephine left the hall and secured
pistol. She returned, and Informed Irene
Washington that she was going to empty
the contents OF the weapon into LizZic's
form. While looking for the latter Po-
liceman Sullivan entered the han and ar
rested Josephine. She informed the Off
Ger that she found the weapon at Seventh
street and Florida avenue.
Josephine was in the dock OF Judge
Miller's court this morning, and after his
honor had heard all the testimony he re-
marked that Patrolman Suliivan's arrival
was timely.
Another murder was narrowly averted,"
remarked the court. This business of
men and women prowllng about with pis-
tolls and raZors concealed OH their persons
