Washington, d. c., March 4-The
Senate of the Fifty-ffth Congress met
to-day in extra session with Vice-Presi-

a call Of the retiring President. The
closing Of the old, as well as the opening
Of the new, were merged into the bril-
liant spectacle, marking the advent OF
the Inauguration ceremony so that formal
proceedings were confined largely to the
yaledietOry Of the retiring President,
Mr.. Stevenson, the opening address Of
the new Yice-President, Mr.. Hobart,
and the swearing into office of the new
Senators. The early houns of the day

"Free Coinage" Demand Is Misleading

If any advocate of the free coinage of
silver dollars or copper dollars or iron
dollars at any ratio, 16 to /, more or
nothing more, / for one am prepared TO
meet him, and in that way to stop the
present contest. Who would want them?
Not one of these men will consent to
free coinage on those terms. Not one of
them would be satisfied. Not one of
them would then get what he is after
under the pretext that free coinage and
equal rights of gold and silver" are all
that he wants. / challenge any one to
find an advocate of free coinage at 16 to
on these simple terms-that both gold
and silver should be treated alike; that
both gold and silver coins shall be made
for any one who takes the bullion to
the mint to any number that he wants.
/ challenge any advocate Of free coinage
to deny that free coinage, pure and sim
pie, is not what he demands, and not
one of them will dare to meet this chal-
lenge.
This demand for free coinage is
cover intended to conceal the true pur-
pose of those who ask it. Most of those
who support this measure have been de-
ceiyed and misled. Let such men put
the question to any owner of silver
mines, to any senator or representative
in congress or to any and every candi-
date on the free coinage platform in
the following terms:
IF we grant free or unlimited coin
age, without charge for the coming,
will you demand nothing more?" Not
man who knows what the true pur
pose is will answer Eyes" to that ques-
zion. -Edw ard Atkinson.

Can't Export Laws.

No civilized country can confine its
citizens within its own territory or
prohibit all commercial intercourse with
other countries. Every country, there
fore, needs money which can be used in
purchase from and in payment of its
debts TO other countries Yet, howsoev-
er great country may be, and however
absolute may be the power of its gov
eminent, its laws can have no extrater-
ritorial effect No government, there
fore, can prescribe the standard by
which its currency shall be valued IN
any other country, or compel the citi-
zens of another country to receive its
currency save at the bullion value OF
that currency in the markets of the

banking facilities is seen at glance.

estimated population (1898) of $780,

13 southern states, with 10000, 900
population. show barely-$18 per capita,

An Energetic Grand bury.

The Grand Jury completed its labors
and handed in its final report Monday
night about IL O'Clock. The amount
of work accomplished by this body
under the efficient leadership of its
foreman Adam Boudreaux is worthy Of
more than passing mention. During
the time they were in session they ex-
amined over 1000 witnesses, Business
was disposed Of with system and dis
patch. OF the cases examined they
reported 40 true bills, 16 not a true
bill. OF these u were against whites
and 13 against negroes. One of the
surprises was the finding Of a true bill
for murder against Horace Guidry fol
killing Gus Harrington. This crime
was committed several years ago and
seemed shrouded in a profound mys-
terry.
