THAT GOLD CLAUSE.
The American Standard, a free silver paper at Frankfort, denies that the silver dollar is a full legal tender for all debts, public and private, to any amount, because of the clause in the law, "except when otherwise expressly stipulated in the contract." Those who framed the law were such men as Bichard P. Bland,.whose name the act ears, and Senators Jones and Stewart, of Nevada, who are now rampant free silverites. They then believed that this was a free country and doubtless hesitated to deprive its citizens of the privilege of making their private contracts in whatever way seemed most advantageous to them. Senator Stewart then as now was in the habit of making his obligations payable in gold. He did this for the reason that lower rates of interest could be obtained. The parties who have most used this option are not of the class who borrow, to meet securities, but the large, capitalistic borrowers, of the Altgeld class, who borrow cheap money on long time for investment.
Railroad, street car, gas, water and municipal corporations compose the bulk of these borrowers. The matter of enforcement or non-enforcement is a question which can be regulated by the States, and make such provision as they see proper to make. Idaho was one of the States which tried the experiment. The Legislature of'that State passed what is know as the "An-ti-gold Jcontract" law. It provided that debts might be paid in either gold or silver, '"anything in the contract to the contraryrnotwithstanding." The law had the effect of driving all lenders out of'.the State who desired the gold contract,[resulting in such loss to borrowers, and no possible good to silver, as was said by the Idaho Statesman. The consequence was that the next Legislature repealed the law. The Idaho people discovered that'the lowest interest rates can always be se"
cured where there is most-competition among lenders. The American Stand ard would deprive the American citizen from making any kind of a con tract he desired, and having made such a contract it would enact such legislation as would repudiate all existing obligations so made. It is doubtful whether Senators Jones or Stewart, or even Anarchist Altgeld, would so brazenly advocate repudia tion. This clause in the law is one of the props which preserves the parity of the silver dollar with the gold dollar. Remove this, together with the pledge of the government in the Sherman act, to maintain all our money, both silver and paper, on a parity with gold, and the American silver dollar would drop to the level of the Mexican silver dollar, with no greater debt paying or purchasing power than the commercial value of silver it contains, now about 53 cents.
JHMJSTAIJXIISM.
Bimetallism is the use of two metals as the standard of values, at a fixed ratio. All dictionaries so define it. But the practical workings of bimetallism, in our own history, -and in that of every other nation that has tried it, proves that it is only practicable when the coinage ratio, fixed by law, is exactly equal to the market ratio. In other words, if the bullion in one coin is cheaper than the bullion in the other, the cheaper coin is used exclusively, and the dearer coin sold as bullion. Mexico, Japan, and most of the countries of South and Central America, have bimetallic laws, but the actual standard is silver at its bullion value, while gold coin sells for its bullion value, at twice its face value in silver. The free silverites impudently claim to be bimetallists. Their ratio —1G to 1—is utterly at variance with the market ratio, which is about 30 to 1. Hence, in practice it would mean silver monometallism. The Republican party has always stood for real bimetallism. The only way in which it is now possible is by international agreement at a new ratio. The St. Louis platform declares for that, and against the 1G to 1 ratio, becausc the latter means a drop to the silver standard. Thomas Jefferson, at the time the first coinage law was being discussed, wrote the follow'ug, which explains the meaning of /metallism, as properly used:
We are in favor of the coinage and currency of silver and gold in ourmon etary system. The proportion between the values of gold and silver is a mercantile problem altogether. The proportions established by law have varied in different ages and in different countries. Just principles will lead us to disregard legal proportions altogether, inquire into the market price of gold in the several countries with which we shall principally be connected in commerce, and to take an average from them. A commission should therefore be appointed to inquire what are the proportions between the values of fine gold and fine silver in the markets of the several countries with which we are, or probably may be, connected in commerce, and what would be a proper proportion here, having regard to the average of their values in those markets, and to other circumstances, and the coinage of gold and silver at our mints should be at the ratio thus determined.

SANDBORN, Ind., July 30.—Last night a fight occurred between Clyde Delay of this place, and Thomas Prather of Morgan county, in which both men were considerably injured. Prather received a wound in the head, and Delay a pistol shot in the side. Neither man is seriously hurt. Two weeks ago Prather obtained a license to marry Delay's sister, but the girl's father took possession of the license and refused to give it up, claiming that Prather had negro blood in his veins, and saying that ho would not allow his daughter to marry him. As usual in such cases, the yonng folks were more than a match for the parents, and they drove to Yincennes yesterday in the early morning and were married. Returning at night, they went to a show, where they were met by the bride's brother, who asked his sister how she "liked her nigger." Prather took exceptions to the remark, and a fight began, the result of which has already been stated.

HE MADE TWO CONFESSIONS/
In Both He Admits Doing the Terrible
Act—Fear That He May Be lynched.
Many Persons Prostrated by the Heat In the Middle State9v While Storms are Still Causing Havoc.
WASHINGTON, July 80.—A coroDc.r's jury yesterday found James Siakh, the negro waiter, guilty of the murder of Marguerite Drown, at Seat Pleasant, a large country boardinghouse about two miles from Washington in Prince Georges county, and late developments in the case have added so much horror to the crime that there are numerous threats of another Maryland lynching as soon as a convenient opportunity occurs. Smith was arrested by the Washington police in tho northeastern part of the city, and in view of the excited condition of tho people of Prince Georges county probably will be held tintil formal requisition is made, in order to permit the excitement to be partly allayed.
The negro made two confessions, partly contradictory, but in each admitting the murder. In his first confession he said that he had been intimate with the murdered girl, for whose foster mother he had worked several years that Mrs. Drown had discovered the fact and had discharged him, but had re-employed him on his and the girl's promise to cease such relations, and that he cut Miss Drown's throat with a knife yesterday because she rejected advances he had made to her again.
In his second confession he declared that he had not told tho truth when he asserted that ho had hud relations with the girl and denied that he had outraged as well as murdered her, but also stated that he had gone to her room for the purpose of making advances to her, and being repulsed lisid choked her into unconsciousness and then had procured 4 knife from the kitchen and killed her.
The doc to. who performed the autopsy said that his examination of the body showed that the girl first had been knocked down and rendered unconscious by a blow on tho forehead, that she had then been outraged and later killed by the severing of a windpipe and jugular vein.
The jury promptly returned its verdict in accordance with this evidence. The negro servants about the place were held in custody on suspicion that they knew more of the affair than disclosed in their testimony.
