The “Picnic Party,” a musical entertainment, given for the benefit of the Christain Church, under the management of Miss Susie Hopwood, Friday and Saturday evenings, was well attended, and gave unbounded satisfaction and pleasure. The Brownies were catching and fetching, and the whistling by the Misses Grogan was received with enthusiastic encores, and the balance of the entertainment was up to date. The management and the Church are to be congratulated on the success of these entertainments. P. F. Stoner, F,sq., has gained a State reputation by serving on the jury which tried the bank wreckers in the U. S. Court at Indianapolis. His portrait appeared in the Indianaj » } News, and therely his beauty was e § blished, and the Indinapolis Sentit? of Monday fixed bis standing as a vocal artist by saying that “after dinner the jurors were taken by United States Marshal Hawkins upon a pleasant excursion to Fairview park and spent the evening around the corridors of their hotel, several of them being assembled in the parlors to listen to music.

Harper’s Magazine for June contains 84 pictures. Few books have so many. But the charm of these pictures is not in their number; it is in their beauty and variety, as well as their appropriateness to tho text. The Republican township primary resulted in the nomination of Robert Graham for trustee; E. L. Foxworthy for assessor; W. J. Ashton, J. T. Denny and G. W. Rumbarger for justices of the peace; W. R. Callahan, John Miles and Daniel Tompkins for

constables.

Among the features of Harper’s Bazar for June will be the “Story of a Garden,” told in letters by Elizabeth Bisland Wetmore, a now series of “Coffee and Repartee” papers, by John Kendrick Banes, and letters from Paris, giving the fashions and gossip of that capital. Miss Webber gave her senior recital on Friday evening, assisted by Miss Potter, accompanist, and Wilbur Starr, baritone. The program was rich and varied and was rendered in a manner which emphasized the richness and range of Miss Webber’s sweet soprano voice, and the skill and art which contributed to its development and cultivation. The wool market and the price paid for wool here this season quickened the curiosity of one of our German fellow-citizens, and ho wrote to relatives at his old home in Germany, to learn how wool was selling there. When the answer came, a few days ago, it was demonstrated that the United States sheep need no “protection” against the pauper sheep of Germany, for the letter is to the effect that wool is selling in the German markets for from 25 cts. to 29 cts. per pound.

say something with

masquerading as contriving to

which to catch votes and which can afterward be explained away. On the contrary, it is the emphatic and positive affirmation of the constitutional obligation of Congress to coin

both metals on equal terms.

It is evident that the framers of the resolution were acting upon the knowkdgo that the great body of voters they represented would not tolerate any ambiguity or uncertainty on the subject. The free-coinage plank in the platform of 1892 was a delusion and a snare. If it was not fraudulently framed it has been fraudulently interpreted. Like the promise of the witches to Macbeth it paltered in a double sense, and kept the word of promise to the ear to break it to the hope. At the extra session of Congress it was used as a weapon against the use of silver as money. It is a rule, in both law and ethics, that all intelligent men are responsible for the natural results and inferences of what they say. Under this rule, the presumption of fraud sets strongly against those who arranged the juggling phrases concerning free coinage in the National Democratic platform of 1892. They framed a resolution which they intended should bo entirely satisfactory to every advocate of the free and unlimited coinage of the standard silver dollar, and in it they inserted words which they knew could and would be construed as to impose impossible conditions upon such coinage. This was to enable candidates for Congress to secure tho support of the friends of free coinage, and then to enable them, after they were elected, to show that the resolution meant no such thing. Such a fraud as this, if incorporated in any business agreement, would be set aside with harsh words by any Court of equity in the land. The persons guilty of it would

the less paper money in circulation, in California.

With gold and silver both in use, the hi al hy paper circulation would be nearly twice the volume that it is possible under the use of gold alone as a money’ metal. Under such an improved condition, farms and their products would go up in value. All kinds of property except money would increase in value. Money would no longer be congested in the banks of the great financial centers, fearful of investment. It would no longer pay to hoard it. The capitalist would increase his gains by investing in enterprises of all kinds. With money everywhere seeking investment, there would bo something for everybody to do, and men would reap the benefit in proportion to their abilities in all kinds of business. We should hoar no more about “the market value” of silver any more than we do about the matket value of gold, for the reason that it would have no market value. A dollar would be worth a dollar, and tho silver out of which a silver dollar could be coined would bo worth a dollar, just as the gold out of whicli a gold dollar can be coined is now worth a dollar.
