In view of the disgraceful duel betwtrii the Duke of Orleans and the Count of Turin we publish the following article which shows the manner in which British officers settle disputes: Officers have their disagreements, of course, like other men, and they have to bo settled. Dueling is forbidden by law as well as by modern ideas and common sense. Complaints respecting infractions of mess etiquette or of ungcutltuiauly or unsoldierly conduct may be submitted to the mess committee, the punitive powors of which are extremely farreaching The life of an officer "sent to Coventry" by his fellows is unendurable, and his only chance is to exchanga Hut all this is moral suasion only, ami in the end disputes are frequently settled by a resort to first principles the rule of fist while redress is sometimes obtained in ways as drastic as they are novel.

the result that one cold night in Febru

ary there was a hubbub within the officers' quarters, a window was presently opened, and little "Joey." clad only in bis nightshirt, was handed out. seised, placed and held down in a hand barrow,

wheeled off to the manure heap and there shot out, to make his way back to bed as best he could. He soon after left the regiment. The antipodes of this gentleman was an officer in the same regiment, an Irishman, 6 feet S and big in proportion, but hii "go" was not proportionate to bis size lie was too big and apathetic for a cavalry captain. In fact, his nickname. "Molly," well describes

him. One cheeky youngster appeareo to think he could take any liberties with such an easy going mountain of flesh, and in the billiard room one night ho carried his Impudence beyond all

He simply dropped his cue, picked the offender np and sat him violently down on a side table, ignorant or heedless of the fact that upon it were standing glasses and decanters It was some time before the surgeons picked the last piece of glass out of the impertinent one and weeks before he could appear in the saddle again. It is scarcely uecrttsary to say that he gave "Molly" Maguire a wide berth after that. Pearson's Weekly.

I might reply in my own paper to the following from the Chicago Tribune, but it would only roach a limited number of readers. I therefore ask The Record, in behalf of the thousands of silver voters who are its regular patrons, to place an Indiana couutry editor upon a "lb to 1" parity with the editor of the Chicago Tribune: Th rropualtloa. "The editor of the Koekvillo (Ind.) Tnbuue, a free silver sheet, is more courageous than most of the members of his party. He puts his dishonest designs into print. They do uot revud theirs. He states that the editor of The Tribune bought 100 Mexican dollars for which he paid 60 iu cash and f 10 in advertising, and wonld be glad to make a similar deal every day. The only drawback is the required cash. If Bryan is elected it is the purpose of the writer to have them coined into United States legal tender dollars, and if at the time he owea $100 he will liquidate the debt, and thus, in a small degree, get back part of the Ions he has sustaiued by reason of the single gold standard. If this remarkably frank editor owea auy debts when Bryan is elected they will be ou account of gold standard dollars borrowed by him, which he has the use of, or on ace unt of goods s ld to him at a gold price a lower price than if to be paid in depreciated silver. The editor will have received gold value dollars or ... m. -

goia value H kis. mere can ue uoiiuuk damugiug to him iu either transaction. But he announces that he does not intend to repay the dollars or pay the gold

price for the goods, but to square accounts with 58-ceut dollars. "He propones to do this because he w ints to 'get even' with the gold stand ard. which has inflicted upon him some unexplained loss. Why his creditors should suffer, who are not responsible for the existeuce of single gold standard, he does uot expUiu. It would certainly be hard on them to rob them of half their dues because of a personal controversy between this editor and the gold

standard. But the editor may defeat his objeet by his frankness. It is not likely that he will be able to contract any new debts between now and Nov. 8. Nobody w ill sell goods on credit to a man who has declared he is going to repudiate half of the bill. No one will lend 100-cent dollars to a man who has proclaimed thnt he means to pay back ."tf-ceut dollars. It must uot be forgot

ten, however, that the intentions of ; about every free silverite are the same sj those of this Indiana editor. Each

of them expects to be able, in the event

of Bryan's election, to pay off 100 cent

debts with ftH-ceut dollars, mat is wny

they axe going to vote for Bryan.

A Fin Object lon. Nothing will better illustrate the

charueter of the money of nltimate payment now deanaiided by the advocates of a gold standard than these same

Mexican dollars (unless they should turu out to be counterfeit; brought to Rockville for the purpose of discrediting American silver d 11 trs. There is not a single product of the farmer, upon whom I am directly dependent, that has eecaped the same force which has pressed down the Mexican dollar. When

the Mexicau dollar emerged Trom concealment, along with all other specie, after the war, it would buy just as much of the farm as it does tday. Twenty years ago a Mexican dollar would pay for exactly the same uumlicr of months' subscription to this county paper as it doe today. My pred'ceuor then printed a smaller paper with much less expense

at $2 a year than I am now printing for $1. Am I a repudiator when I ask to pay in money of the same purchasing power? Or is the man who insists that I shall give up donbleof my toil, double of my life, honest? All reputable authorities atrree that

money, to be absolutely honest, should be such as would return to the creditor after a long term of years money of the same purchasing power as was loaned. If it would buy less it would be an injustice to the creditor. If it would buy more the debtor must suffer.

In mv case the Mexicau silver dollar, as it aow is, without any legal tender power with only its bullion value will return to the creditor value for value. Let me prove it: The house and lot in Kock Tille owned by me cost, in 1M5. $0.000. There is an acre and a half of groundone acre of which is sometimes in wheat. This year it is in "horse weeds," as the return from no cereal would pay for plowing and seed. Buck of the premises is farming land, so that my property will fairly illustrate what the gold standard has done for all town and

farm property. I have kept the house in good repair, added at least $1,000 to

the original cost, and today could uot sell it for half its cost. A Knock-Down hr Ntmnen. There has been no "improved methods" of building houses, no "improved

methods'' of producing land to account for this shrinkage of value. I defy any sold bug editor to prove that the appre

ciation of gold has uot robbed me. Sup

pose I had placed a mortgage on the property to secure it, say. half its cost ? If foreclosed now the entire investment would be inadequate to pay this mortgage, to say nothing of the interest for 11 years. Am I dishonest when I resent this confiscation of my property? Am I a repudiator when I demand the original terms of the contract ? Did not the Stanley Matthews resolution, for which William McKinley voted, give fair and square notice that it is not in violation of public credit to pay our obligations iu the standard silver dollar of 41)4 grains? Let a candid word define " 'twixt Mn Lofty ' wealth and mine. " Let it say whether the editor of the Rockville Tribune ia a repudiator, or whether the Chicago Tribune ia a confiscates- Isaac R, Strouae, editor Rockville Tribune aad secretary Indiana Silver loafus, is the Chiuafo Reoerd.
