The accidental killing of a foot
ball player at Atlanta has resulted
in attempts 10 several States to enact
legislation prohibiting the playing OF
the game. II has only been a short
while since two men were killed at
a church a short distance from this
city. Is that a sufficient reaso why
churches should be suppressed p

two hundred million dollars in gov.
eminent notes or silver certificates
and to receive the value OF these
with twenty-five per cent added IN
bank notes. The Secretary can at
any time prepare bonds for the
amount of these deposits and retire
them,
Here is an illustration Of how this
would work. A bank deposits one
hundred thousand dollars in silver
certificates and receives one hundred
ard twenty-five thousand dollars IN
back notes guaranteed by the gov-
eminent. The Treasury puts bonds
in the place Of these certificates and
destroys the certificates. Thus the
bank for one hundred thousand dol
lars in certificates has one hundred
thousand dollars in bonds deposited
10 the Treasury and one hundred
and twenty-five thousand dollars in
bank notes in its own vaults. That
is a financial transaction that would
have been considered a good one
even by a Shylock.
These are the salient points of the
Administrators financial policy.
What do you think Of them /? Lets
90 over them in brief. All silver
which is now a legal tender, and all
green backs and Sherman notes
which are legal tender. amounting to
over nine hundred million dollars
are to be retired. Silver certificates
which are not legal tender to be
turned into bonds. National bank
notes which are not legal tender will
be issued in such quantities as The
national banks may see fit. Gold to
be the only legal tender.

At a cabinet meeting held on Oct.
% all the members being present
but two, the report of MIR. Gage,
Secretary of the Treasury was read
and approved, and the report adopt
ed as the financial system was given
out to the press, and printed on the
morning of October 80, that is too
late TO be used in the rural districts
Of Ohio, Iowa, Kentucky, Maryland
and Nebraska, and time enough for
it to be fully understood by the bank
ers. brokers and money kings 10
New York, Baltimore, Cincinnati,
Cleveland, Louisville and other
cities.
The report contains about three
thousand FIVE hundred words and IS
most carefully prepared, with a pre-
amble giving reasons for the pro-
posed action, a policy plainly ex-
pressed and an exofdinm to the
gG#.a -LZ -
faithful. The preamble is based on
false assertions, the policy is the
most infamous eve conceived, IS
entirely in the interests OF the money
classes, and the exordium is false to
every party pledge.
After recitiog the clause OF the
law of 1890 which declares that The
parity of the metals must be main
tanned, Mr.. Gage says that this
| means and has always been construed
) to mean that the Treasury Depart
, ment will at any time exchange one
!, metallic money for the other; that is
redeem silver with gold. This is an
7 absolute falsehood. Mr.. John G
. Carlisle in an official letter to Sena'
8 tor Daniel in February 1895, said
e aThere is no law by which a gold
dollar can be exchanged for a silver
dollar at the Treasury" 10 Sep
TENDER 1896, Nj. Carlisle in a pri.
: vate letter written at Bar Harbor
Maine, to a private citizen said h
would redeem silver dollars will
gold If called on to do so. And thit
J letter is the only declaration o.
q record in favor of a policy which
Mr.. Gage says has always been en-
tertained at The Treasury.
The Secretary gives the amount Q
greenbacks, Sherman notes, and 81
yer dollars now in existence, tn
total being 5000, OO0. 900. These b
saws must be redeemed in gold, an
that the one hurried million gold re
: serve is entirely insufficient for tn
purpose and other methods must b
adopted.
The 6rst recommendation is th
establishment of a division Of r.
demption and issue in the Treasur
!" which shall have one hundred an
~ twenty million in gold coin to r
D deem any money presented. A

are pledged to redeem silver certil

The committee on the judiciary in the
Constitutional Convention has decided 10
recommend the abolition of the whippin 2
post This mode Of punishment is looked
upon by great many persons as relic
Of barbarism. 1t is hardly mora so than
putting man to death by hanging by
tho neck or any other process, yet there
are few persons prepared to abolish the
penalty of death for murder, rape and
arson. The truth is we must adopt that
system of punishment that will most
eifectually insure the safety of society
Whipping may be barbarous, hut situated
as Wilmington Is between Philadelphia
and Baltimore, we would be over run with
thieves and robbers were it not for the
whipping post. 1t may be barbarous,
but desperate diseases require desperate
Remedies. If we can get along without
the whipping post as we'll as with it, let
us abolish it, and be done with it,
We should however prefer to leave the
matter with the Legislature, to abolish or
continue it as CirCumst anCus may seem to
require.

The latest scheme introduced into the

once more Democratic. We hope some of
