Gold Discoveries and silver.

The discussion of the silver question in
London, caused by the announcement of
the Bank of England of its Willingness
to hold one-fifth of its reserve in silver,
upon certain conditions. which 1t named.
is deeply interesting. It shows that the
bankers and commercial interests of Lon
don are strongly opposed to the adoption
OF any such policy by the bank The
fact is pointed out that the people Of
England adopted the gold standard in spite
Of their government, and that they would
never consent to what is called bimetal-
lism, which they regard as an impossi-
bility. one of the ablest of the writer's
who are taking part in this silver dis
cussion in London expresses the opinion
that 1t is much more likely that the gold
standard will be established in India than
that the minis of that country will be
opened to the free coinage of silver.
Our commissioners who were appointed
to visit Europe in the interest OF interna-
tional bimetallism, expect an answer from
the British government in October TO
their inquiry as to what help it is will
ing to give the international bimetallic
movement. The probabilities are that the
answer will not be at all encouraging to
the sllverites.
We have expressed the opinion frequent
ly, and it seems 10 be a reasonable one,
that the silver question viii settle itself
within a comparatively few years. The
production Of silver is decreasing and that
of gold is increasing. The gap between
the two metals will gradually close, and
when il does nobody will care whether
the coinage Of silver is made free or not.
All the Indications are that Alaska will
yield an immense amount of gold within
the next few years. In our dispatches
yesterday it was announced that a very
large and very rich gold deposit had been
discovered near Mount Baker, in the state
of Washington. The new gold mines in
South Africa are good for an output of
600 a year and the old gold mines
in this country and Australia are yield
ing well. Therefore, there are good rea-
sons for expecting that there VIII be a
great increase in the annual out
put of gold. If such proves
to be the case the silver question will
cease to be a live one before the politi-
clans have accomplished anything in re-
gard to it,

Value of n Character in New York.
The New York state board of claims has
awarded John Roberts Of New York city
81, so in an action for damages brought by
him against the state for false imprison-
ment in which he made a claim for Sl3S, $40,
including costs and expenses. The case is
interesting In that it bears upon the La
bility of a state for indemnity to a per-
son whose character it destroys. The Rob-
erts case, it is said, was the first of its
kind in New York, and a special act of the
legislature had to be passed In order to
enable him to bring the suit.
In January. 1877, robbery was commit
ted in Brooklyn. Roberts was then en-
gagged in carrying on business which he
claims netted him an income of $3.50 per
week. He was arrested upon suspicion of
having committed the robbery. Upon his
trial a servant girl in the employ of the
household which had been robbed identi-
fed Roberts as the robber because of pc
culiarities of his voice and his hands. He
was convicted and sentenced to states
prison for a term of twenty years. He
served twenty-five months, when he was
pardoned, upon Its being made plain to
Gov. Robinson beyond a shadow of doubt
that he was innocent. 1t was proved con-
clusively that Roberts was ten miles away
from the scene of the robbery at the time
the crime was committed. The mans civil
rights were restored TO him only two years
ago.
After leaving prison he found his bust
ness broken up, his credit gone and his
character destroyed. He could not retain
employment anywhere, as his convict rep
utation followed him, Notwithstanding his
innocence. Upon the restoration to him of
his fun civil rights, at the age OF nifty
wears. after having rested under the ban of
society for nearly twenty years because OF
the wrong done him by the state, he
brought suit for compensation alleging
the value of injury of reputation, physi-
cal pain and suffering to be $4,000, and
loss of income from business to be $4,000,
and naming costs, attorneys fees, inter-
est, etc, at $4,000.
1t would appear to persons unacquainted
with all of the details upon which the
board of claims made its award that
$3.50 was totally Inadequate indemnity for
the loss of a good reputation and bust
ness paying $3.50 a week. Roberts was a
barkeeper. and it may be that the board
held that fact to be against him.
At the same time, his business was
recognized as legal and licensed under the
law. hence it should not have initiated
to his disadvantage. Again, it may be
that the state did not wish to set prece-
edent for paying big indemnities for false
Imprisonment, fearing future develop
ments along the same line. precedent
has been established, however, and it will
be possible hereafter for persons falseiy
convicted and imprisoned in New York to
secure some measure of compensation
from the state.

The reason for that Virg a word con-
test, which is going on teween Senator

in the fact MAT Senator Daniels term Of
office will expire on March g. 1899 and the

will elect his successor. However, as
much as the governor would like to be

A wreck in the Potato Field.

An old salt, after sailing the sea for
years, thought he would try a life ashore
for a while says the Boston Herald. He
looked around for a job. and was en-
gagged by a farmer, saying, as he had
plowed the deep for years, he thought he
could plow the land. He went home with
the farmer, and after a good nights rest
and breakfast, started out to pillow. The
farmer hitched up yoke of oxen, with a
horse on TO lead. Taking two turns
around the field and then turing the team
over to Jack, he said he would go to the
house for family prayers.

The yellow fever experts along the Gulf
coast are by no means agreed as to the
character of the disease which is pre-
vailng in that locality. There are physi-
clans in New Orleans, Ocean Springs,
Biloxi and other places where the fever
exists who contend that it is not yellow
fever. Some of the doubters call it
hemorrhagic fever, other pernicious fever,
and one New Orleans expert calls it sun
fever, which is a fever about midway be-
dengue and yellow fever, and is oftener
found in the coast cities of india than any
where else.
1t is a remarkable fact that the fever
prevailed for several weeks at Ocean
Springs before there was any suggestion
that it was yellow fever. And the the
DRY that it was yellow fever was not ac-
cepted until Dr. Guiteras, the marine hos
pital expert, pronounced il yellow fever
after an autopsy of one of the victims of
the disease. Even after the autopsy two
of the physicians who were
present on that occasion signed
the report of the conclusion reached I'M
der protest. They said some of the most
important characteristics Of yellow fever
were not found.
1t is often a difficult matter when the
yellow fever first makes its appearance
to distinguish It from some other kinds of
fever. a number of years ago-in 1S73-a
fever appeared in Plaquimine parish, Lou
isiana, and extended long way up the
Mississippi river. Eminent physicians di-
agnosed it as yellow fever and so eminent
an yellow fever expert as DR.. Sternberg
of the United States army was inclined to
the belief that 1t was that much dreaded
disease. The best yellow fever expert in
New Orleans at that time was DIR. Bruins,
who made a very careful diagnosis of the
fever, and declared most emphatically
that it was not yellow fever. His dag
nosis was generally accepted. 1t is not
at all remarkable, therefore, that there is
great difference of opinion among physi-
clans as to whether or not the fever pre-
vailing in New Orleans and other locaIi-
ties on the Gulf coast is yellow fever.
But whether it is yellow fever or MOI it
is wise to take all possible precautions
against ito deal with it, in fact, as if
there was no doubt about its being yellow
fever. 1t is of mild type now and may
continue to be so, but no one can say with
any degree of certainty that 1t will not be-
come malignant before it runs it's course.
There appears TO be no doubt that it was
conveyed from Ocean Springs to other
places. That being the case the means
which have been adopted to prevent its
further spread are not too severe.

Forsyth park, in its remodeled beauty,
is a standing protest against returning
the parks and trees 10 the mercies Of pol
itics. Except for the intelligent, although
commissioners, the park would probably
be to-day just what it was when cleared
up after last September's storm. It may
be observed, also, that since the commits
sion has been upon the shelf the parks and
trees have not had the attention which
they deserve, and which would have tsen
given to them under the commission.

A New Kind of a Thief.

new kind of a thief has been developed
in New York. His name is Stats, and he
was an assistant manager of the Hotel
waldorf. He is called a miser kleptoma-
MAC. It seems that Stats stole every
thing that came in his way, in the hotel,
from silver spoon worth a couple of do.-
lars to a Persian rug worth $1,000. A Gu
rious thing in connection with Stats is
that he never profited by his stealings. He
neither sod nor pawned what he stole.
He packed the things away in boxes in
the garnet of the Waldorf, and In his ROOM
which was in Thirteenth street, and for
which he paid the munifcent sum of Sc a
month. He has been regarded for years
as first-class hotel man, and has held
good positions at the Normandie and other
hotels AT the Waldorf he was paid $3.50
a month.
AS he made no use of the stolen goods,
it is thought he had mania for stealing,
which he could not control. He stole ar
ticles from the Normandle when he was
connected with that hotel, though the
fact was not known unit. he was arrested
for stealing from the Waldorf. Among
his collection of stolen goods were articles
with the Normandies mark upon them.
VIII he be held as a common thief or
will it be plead in his behalf that he is
insane and could not help doing what he
did? If that plea should be accepted 1t
might be used with effect in the cases of
a good many other thieves.
