13. 1897, however, showed that on that
date Stevens was president of the in
stitution, and. if he had resigned, it
was between Jan. Is and 49, On Feb.
4 Stevens, in an interview with report
er for the G i o e, explained that up
to a few weeks previous, he had been
president of the bank, but had resigned
in order to give all his time to his
public duties as congressman at Wash
ington. His resignation, he said, as
trustee, had also been handed in some
time before, but as his successor had
failed to properly qualify by filing
bond with the secretary of state, he
was still an officer of the bank.
Speaking of the case yesterday after
noon, Pierce Butler said to a reporter
for the G l b e:
we are instructed by Mr.. Stevens to
bring the case to immediate trial and
to take no advantage of technical in
forn1alities of the prosecutions proce-
dure, if there be any. The bank was in
debted to Mr.. Stevens at the time that
it closed, and he is only anxious that his
relations to that institution be fully and
publicly examined
j. M. Hawthorne, when seen by a
reporter for the G o e said: "As is
well-known I am attorney for the de-
positorS committee, which is asking for
an investigation and change of trustees.
w IfSu I.rSl0VGIfS heard " he at OQCa
answered and stated that he would do
everything i'm his power to aid the in
vestigation and to comply with the
depoSitors' wishes in the matter I
was also a member of the original in
vestigating committee, and as one of
that committee, I examined with
great deal of care into the actions of
the trustees. I became convinced as
a result of my Investigations, that Mr..
SfQxrQfS hod f,r1 oat cd
a trustee of that bank, and when tho
committee reported to upwards of
thousand of the deposftors at the meet
ing held early in March in Assembly
or Labor hall, I felt that it was only
fair to Mr.. Stevens to then and there
publicly exhonerate him, and did so,
and that fact was published in the
G e at that time. My further eX-
animation of the books Of that bank
confirmed my already well settled con-
viction, that he was fully entitled to
that eXoneration. / know that Mr..
Stevens is innocent of every charge
made against him, and I have no hesi-
tation in saying that there can only be
one result of the trial, and that is his
prompt acquital. We shall therefore
take advantage of no technicality, but
shall insist that his case be tried i'm
mediately."
The indictment against William F.
Bickel charges him with an overdraft
of some $1,000, alleged to have been
made in 1895. Mn. Bickel, although
present in the court room nearly all the
afternoon, was not arraigned or even
officially notified that he had been in
dicted for the fifth time. This was in
accordance with previous understand
ing with the county attorney, whereby

appoint banking and currency COM
mittee or to even permit to be con-
sidered Heatwole's bill for q currency
commission. These are the grounds of
the protest Of the Democrats who made
the greatest sacrifice last fall parti-
san can make, and It Is the earnestness
OF the protests coupled with the knowl-
edge that certain defeat awaits the Re
publican party If these votes are cast
against It., that calls forth all this
varied comment.
The Sentinel says 1t Is their 'duty to
help spread the opinion that the new
tariff, unsatisfactory as 1t is to them,
is infinitely preferable to the legisia-
ton that would have been enacted II
the free silver Democrats had won In
1885," and which will follow their sue
cess in 1900, because 1t Is better than
"a descent to the silver standard.
When this proposition is resolved into
it's final analysis, it is simply this:
The new tariff Is a less evil,
because 1t proposes and 1ntenos
to take from the dollar, on the
average, half OF it's normal purchasing
power and in execution, will take some
times more and sometimes less, than
it would be to accept free coinage that
will take away uniformly half the pow
err to buy commodities Of every dollar
in anybody's pocket in the country. II
this becomes the naked issue In 1S00,
we apprehend that thoseDemocrats who
supported. as they supposed, the gold
standard in 1896 will do a lot Of hard
thinking before marking their ballots.
Between one policy that will cut in
half every dollar Unfortunately, and
another that will cut off such uncer-

loving equality even in misfortunes,
will take the policy that makes the cut
universal 1t will not be wise, anyway,
for the Republicans to permit such to
be the alternative.
Democrats find it difficult to discri1ni-
nate between taking away 80 per cent Ct
the buying capacity Of the dollar oy an
act of congress that gives the maker Of
a commodity power and opportunity to
increase the price of his commodity
100 per cent, and taking it away by
an act whose effect would be to make
a 50-cent dollar the common measure
of all commodity values. The effect
is exactly the same, while, Of the two,
the motive and purpose of the latter is
infinitely the more creditable. It's adj
vocates have the merit of candor and
directness, while advocates of the other
