and Fire on the Mob.
Trouble had been looked for during
the night and it was feared that the
militia would go too far and fire into
the crowd. The affair is horrible and
has embittered the feeling to intensity.
The streets are crowded and the most
intense excitement prevails. Now that
the People have seen their neighbors
shot down the feeling is getting very
intense. The people are worked up and
there may bemore trouble. Themob again
advancing on the Jail at 1870 a. m. The
Jail was surrounded by the militia and
a sherift's posse, and had been so all
day. But the mob would not be held
back. 1t had been threatening all day
to lynch the prisoner, who had been
practically railroaded to penitentiary
for twenty years.
The prisoner was tried last night. The
grand jury was impanelled yesterday
and reported at $3.50 last night its ex-
animation of five witnesses and the in
dictment of Charles Mitchell. colored.
for the criminal assault of Mrs. Eliza
Gaumer. white. The court thanked the
jury fer its good days work" Then
Sheriff Mclean and his deputies brought
Mitchell il to court in a soldiers uni
form. AS the militia was on duty about
the court house and the Jail this dis
Guise CT the prisoner worked perfectly.
The crowds that were about the grounds
| and in the streets did not know what
was going on, and those who saw Mitch
| ell en- route from the Jail to the court
house did not recognize him.
The doors to the court house were all
guarded by the militia. Prosecuting At
| torneg Waite represented the state,
and Attorney Flaugher the pris-
| oner. With the military about
| the building and the crowds
| outside Mitchell was badly scared. He
waived the reading of the Indictment,
| pleaded guilty, and was sentenced to
| the extreme limit for criminal assault
twenty years. The hearing occupied
| only Few moments. The court ordered
the sheriff to take the prisoner to Co.
| lumbus last night.
After Mitchell was sentenced by court
there was trouble again. It was thought
that the officers might get Mitchell
through the crowd disguised as a SOL
der. but his color prevented this plan
and carriage was driven up to the
| Jail. Then the mob broke in and de-
manded the prisoner. The jail was
strongly guarded by the militia and the
sheriff felt safe so long as he did not
venture out. The governor refused to
send troops to Urbana last night.

ADOPTS THE GOLD STAND

After -Four Years Of Investigation Japan

After -Four Years Of Investigation Japan
Decides TO Discard Silver.
On March II was cabled from Yoko-
hama that Japan had decided to adopt
the gold standard at q ratio Of sax to
/, the new standard to 90 into operation
in October,
This act, on top Of many previous
ones, moves Japan completely out of the
ranks of the semi-civilized and into those
Of civilized and progressive nations. 1t
was not taken hastily, but after two
years consideration of an exhaustive re-
port made by the japanese currency
commission, appointed in 1898.
This commission found that, while
certain capitalists, especially those en-
ploying many laborers, were benefited
by the falling silver standard, the
wage earners were injured from the
fact that their wages did not rise as
fast as did the prices Of what they
had to buy. The report pointed out
what every rational trader ought to
know-that silver standard country
can trade and compete with gold stand
ard countries only after paying the loss
on exchange in foreign trade. However,
as the greater part of Japan's trade was
with China and India, the two countries
of Asia still using the silver standard,
the disadvantage on this account was
not considered great
The silverites have lost with Japan
some Of their best capital. Or course
they will tell us how British gold"
was used to bride the government into
betraying its people into the hands of
the money power. They cannot how
ever, much longer tell us that we are
unable to compete with Japan because
she uses the silver standard.
The truth is that Japan got tired of
being a second rate nation and of work
ing with second rate tools, and after
careful investigation, concluded to get
rid of free coinage at ordinary ratios,
which drives gold out of the country as
fast as it can be coined and which re-
suits in the single silver standard, and
to adopt the gold standard at ratio
with silver which will permit the use Of
both metals in her trade. 1t is wise
step. Japan is only one of four or five
nations which have adopted the gold
standard during the last Is months.

A CASE IN EQUITY.

BY FRANCIS LYNDE.

When one sets out to make himself the
advocate of an unworthy cause, mental
short-sightedness stands ready to dis
tort and confuse the judgment; and in
the case of letter, the dispassionate
Journalism of written language lends
itself easily to inferential misconstruc-
ton.
+How could ever have fancied that
She had any warmth or depth apart
from the intellectual side of her char
acter?" he asked himself. I'm sure
don't know, any more than | know why
I always took it for granted that we
were divinely appointed to be the COM
ponent parts of that mysterious creation
which the marriage service declares to
be one person, but which all experience
says is still more than ever two Could
Elsie Duncan write such letter as
that to the man She loves? Would she
turn neat phrases and Bah! the
comparison is absurd! And yet, on the
other hand, it isn't fair to blame Helen
because / don't happen to be the one
man in the universe who is capable of
calling out the best there is in her; and
j don't blame her. She may find the
right man yet; it's barely possible this
cruise in Mortons yacht will turn out
to be more nearly divine appointment
than an agreement made by our fathers
while we were in neutrality-suspicious."
Thus Philip, in a plausible attempt
to justify himself. How should he know
that the cool and dispassionate letter
was only part ard parcel of the hard
task Helen had set herself in the begin
ming? How was he to guess that she
had steadily resolved from the first to
say nothing that would tempt him to
turn back to his hurt? BY what inner
prescicnce should he have been enabled
10 read between the lines the passionate
yearning that was so resolutely effaced
in the written words? AS he stood at
his window looking out into the calm
stiffness of the moonlit night, what
good angel was there to tell him that at
another window in far-off New England
the writer of that letter kneltw with wet
eyes, beseeching the Merciful One to
protect and preserve the absent lover?
There was none; nor was there any in

Mr.. William Jennings Bryan is going
about the country preaching the same
doctrine that he preached during the
campaign in which he figured as NOM
inee for the presidency of the United
States. The activity of the free silver
forces is not to be winked at. They are
good and persistent fighters, They re-
alize the fact that new men are entering
into citizenship every year and that
some of them may be won over to their
side of the currency question. They pro-
pose to hold the ground they have and
to secure more if they can. The free sill
yer advocates should be met more than
half way in this fight that did not end
with the victory won by the sound
money forces last November Trenton

The Sound Money Propaganda.

The decision of the silver men to con-
tinue their fight for the 80 cent dollar,
despite the emphatic verdict Of the peo-
pie in November, is appropriately fol-
lowed by the organization in New York
of sound money league, which is to be
national in its character and in the
scope of its work. From this time on
till the next presidential election the
dissemination of money facts and cor
rect views as to money is to be contin.

The most efficient agency Of the last
campaign was the sound currency COM
mittee of the New York Reform club,
and its publications, each given to
some ono phase Of the currency ques-
ton, were invaluable to speakers and
writer's. A sound basis for currency re-
form was thus laid in the minds of thou
sands who were cropping after the truth
These publications, it is stated, are to

Much was done in six months Of
1895 to uproot the erroneous ideas
