What are Coin Bonds?

Secretary Gage thinks that by
issuing "gold bonds" he could re-
move ambiguity" from our con-
tract obligations. This is disin-.
genous begging of the question, for
the secretary knows that all am
biguity as to coin bonds was re-
moved through a decision given by
the attorney general of the United
States in 1877, and subsequently
through the adoption of the STAN
ley Matthew'S resolution by con-
gress in 1873. In 1877 John Sher-
man, secretary of the treasury,
asked if the word "coin" did not
mean gold, and was informed that
it meant just what it said, namely.
"coin," and coin means gold and
silver. The attorney general ex-
planned that in 1870 the law pro-
vided for the coinage Of both gold
and silver; that the coin bonds
were issued that year; that coin
then meant gold and silver, and
that by their terms they were and
are yet payable in gold and silver.
When Cleveland was contem-
plating the issue of bonds he en-
deavored to prevail upon congress
to make them payable, principal
and interest, in gold, but the at
tempt failed.
Since the republican admins
tration went into power the bond
holders have become very solicit
GUS about the word "coin." If
they can through the aid of the
president succeed in having their
coin bonds made payable in gold,
they will have the satisfaction Of
breaking an honest contract and
committing the people in man.
ner never contemplated.
The goldites are very solicitous
about the sacredness of a contract,
and one of their chief arguments
against bimetalism is that its adop-
ton will affect CONTRACTS made on
q gold basis" But when it comes
to the dishonest juggling of con-
tract made on a bimetallic basis,
they have no conscientious scru-
pies whatever.

SETTLED THE DIFFICULTY.

After CussIng Each Other the Two Mis-.
sourians Became Good Friends.
"Cussin' out" used to be one Of the
ways of settling controversies in the
Ozark country. It originated, says
the St. Louis Globe Democrat, with old
uz Findley and John Carter. The
Findleys came from Georgia. Old Uz
took great interest in politics, and
wherever he went he was followed by
venerable negro named Bosen, whose
duty it was to steer his master home
ward when he needed help. At one of
the early elections old Uz and John
Carter became very angry at each other
1t looked as If nothing but a fight
could settle the issue between them,
when suddenly old Uz shouted; "Mr.
Carter, stand and be cussed." Carter
removed his hat, walked out about ten
PAGES from the crowd and told old Uz
to go ahead. Findley removed his hat
and, walking out in front of Carter,
said, with elaboration and emphasis:
Mr. Carter, if this earth was one piece
OF parchment and the sea one basin OF
ink, and every quill upon earth was one
quill, and l had the power to use that
quill, that parchment and that ink, /
would fall short, sir, of being able to
describe the corruption of your old
heart. SIR" Carter said never a word.
but stood with uncovered head until
uz was through. Then he said: "Mr.
Findley, stand. sir, until I cuss you."
Old uz bowed his head and Carter said:
Mr.. Findley. had all the talents ever
produced in Europe and America CON-
bined in solid phalanx, and was to UNI
dertake to speak of You, I would then
fall short of describing the corruption
OF your old heart, SIR" This settled
the difficulty. The two men resumed
friendly relations. The custom OF
"cussin' OUT was thus introduced in
the Ozark country.

WILLING TO WAIT.
Strange Exhibition Of Politeness

It was in the dentists office. Three

Miers F. Truett, appellant; Andrew
Onderdonk, respondent. Accounting of
partnership. Reversed.
The fling of the authorization, or the
direction of the clerk to dismiss the ac-
ton, though it authorizes the clerk to
enter 8. judgment of dismissal, does not
operate to dismiss the action. The court
therefore, retains full and complete
jurisdiction over the cause and the
parties.
Whether a question of fraud can be
tried on afffdavits, or reached upon mo-
ton, must depend on the character and
purpose of the proceeding. For the pur-
pose Of inducing some appropriate ac-
ton of the court in a cause, at it's in
ception, or during it's progress, facts
may be established by af1idavits as the
basis OF its action, but which do not
finally conclude the opposite party as
to the truth of the alleged facts Even
a complaint by which an action is COM
menced may be tissue of falsehood
from beginning to end, but, if verified,
may Justify the court in granting a
preliminary injunction against the de-
