From the Pail Mall Gazette.
The Inhabitants Of Iceland are commend
ed as the most honest people out. Cases OF
theft are almost unknown to them. and a
murder does not happen once Ia q genera
ton. There is only one policeman on the
island. who spends six months OF the year
in the north and the rest Of the time in
Reyk5avik, where the only goal is located.
According to the islanders. this prison is a
magnificent building. in that It is built OF
stone. and they think 1t is q direct invita-
tion to wrongdoing. as an inmate of the
prison lives in nice room. enjoys the
privilege Of reposing on a real bed and eat
ing bread at meals-luxuries which an or
dinary Icelander scarcely ever has the op-
portunity of indulging himself with. In
spite Of all these temptations says the
Prisons Service Gazette. the Reykjavtk
prison is nearly always empty.

SilveriteS Must Abandon
Extreme Demand.
Battle Cannot Be Fought
Again on the Is to 1 Issue.
Plank Put the Silver Men to Defen-
sive in Last Campaign.

Waterloo, Iowa, June 2s 90 For one. l do
not believe 1t possible to succeed upon "a
platform that demands the unqu alifed
Ireo coinage Of silver at the ratio of l6 TO
1 with gold. We have fought that battle
and it is lost. We can never fight it over
again. III we hope to succeed we must
abandon this extreme demand.
In these words Horace Boies, former
governor OF Iowa and erstwhile Demo
cratic presidential aspirant addresses
the voters OF the United states who de-
mand the free coinage Of silver Ho does
il through the medium OF a letter TO Col.
ID. Nj. Fox, OF Des Moines which the latter
will print in his forthcoming book. "Ihe
friends Of Silver, although once defeated.
are not vet demoralized. This will not
be true after "a second defeat" he warn
ingly SAYS "In our next great battle we
must win or our cause is lost. +" Although
Mr.. Boies in private frequently expressed
hostility to the l6 TO | plank OF the
Chicago platform this is the first authori-
tative declaration from him 20 that effect.
lit matters mott he says, "how we
convince tho people hat the gold stand
ard is wrong, unless we convince them
that what we offer IN its place is better,
instead OF worse" BY adopting the l6 to
/ plank. he declares, the delegates TO the
Chicago convention forced the silver forces
to assume the defensive for their new
creed The result, he asserts, was the
weakening instead Of strengthening of
their ranks, as their platform was bat
tered by the arguments of their opponents.

air as the atmosphere in the building
was oppressive Ho had no more than
reached the doorway when the congrega.
tion was startled by fusilade OF pistol
shots. Nearly dozen shots were fired
In about as many seconds time.

Jones was stretched ON the lawn near by.
One hand clasped his right thigh and
i'm his left he had a pistol. His right
thigh bone i'm front was shattered by "a IL
calibre pistol ball that tore its way down

of six inches. His statement of the shoot
ing was TO the effect that be and his

pistol His brother Frank, he said, was
hit by tho first discharge and before he
could draw his weapon, Thomas drew mis-
pistol and opened fire on Garrison in de-
fense of his brother Garrison. after
Frank fell, opened fire on him (Ihomas). J.
Frank Jones was shot three times. Gar

Joseph Tetlow. chief conductor in the
employ of the Union Railroad Company
jumped on the front platform of car at
the corner OF Dorrance and Westmnter
street while the circus parade was passing
that point this morning and ordered the
motoTman TO push his car through To
make "A passage for the other cars stand
ing on the track. The cars had been
stopped by the procession.
The motorman obeyed the order and
the car broke up the procession. Sergeant
Tyler In charge of squad of policemen
protested against the proceeding and
ordered the chief conductor to stop but
the order was not obeyed aud the passage
was forced
Mr. Tetlow was arrested for this pro-
ceeding as Mayor McGuinness ordered
the issuance of warrants charging assault
upon the policemen.
The mayor stated that the circus had
the right Of way as il had paid license
to exhibit in the city. The thing, how
ever, which called for his interference was
the utter disregard Of the police by the
representative of the Union Company.
The police had been detailed to keep the
streets clear and were performing their
duty. The railroad company had disre-
garded police authority and for that rea-
son it was time to call a halt The mayor
further said that. he proposed to back up
the police force. He had summoned Chief
Of Police Baker and had informed him
that a policeman uniform ana badge
meant something, that they were the Gus
todians Of the city and their authority
must be obeyed He also informed him
that hereafter IL police order is dis
Obeyed that the person or persons so dis
obeying should be hustled into the
"burry up wagon just the same as any
other transgressor of the law. He said
that Mr.. Tetlow should have been
arrested on the spot.
1t was nice spectacle In the streets to
see the authority of the police ignored.
That sort of thing was not calculated to
In crease the respect which should be
shown toward these men who are the SER
wants Of the public and invested with au-
thority to execute commands. whether
they affect tho high or the low.
The mayor also said that he wanted
every one TO understand that the orders
of the police must be respected.
Mr.. Tetlow was arrested by Patrolman
Bates at tho corner OF Westminster street
and Washington Row, and was taken to
the patrol box where the officer sent To the
Central station for the police wagon, and
In this MIR. Tetlow was taken TO the Cen
tral station. For nearly an hour and a
half he was confined In CELL
At 2 o'clock Judge Reukert was called
and Mr. Tetlow was arraigned before him
on four charges of assault ono each on
Patrolmen Nj. j. Bates, John H. Martin,
Frank l.. Martin and G. j. Dunn. Mr..
Tetlow pleaded not guilty and his case
was set down for trial on Friday next.
The bail was 600 in each case and Albert
Il. Potter general manager of the Union
Railroad Company, was accepted as
bondsman.
