The Trial Continued. v Sol Frank of thij city went to Chicago lajt TiiesUay to attend the preliminary examination of the policemen who arc under arrest for robbing Howard Adams ot a diamond pin and other articles while removing hit remains to the morgue. Owing to the absence of Dr. Boyce the pate was continue.d until tomorrow (Saturday) after taking the evidence pf \yitnesses present. The following from the Chicago News gives a brief synopsis:

Whether ex-Police Officers Rodger Hogan and Thomas Green deliberately stole a diamond pin, a cheap revolver and a toy from the dead body pf Howard Adams on Sept. 27 last or were overcome by a remarkable Streak of forgetfullness is what Justice Porter is qow trying to decide. Ibis morning the men were prisoners before him, charged with larceny while performing police duty. The pourt room was crowded with curious spectators and policemen ot both high aud low degree helped to swell the throng. It is alleged that when Hogan and Green were called to remove the body of young Adams, who had been asphyxiated by gas in the Arlington hotel, they tailed to turn oyer to the coroner all the eflects of the deceased. ‘ After an investigation the officers were removed from the force aud were subsequently arrested. Hogan is tall aud rather thin. This morning he stood twirling his sandy mustache in a very complascent manner. Aear the frout of the court room sat his wife and mother-in-law, who were both fashionably dressed. They arrived in a carriage long before court opened. Green is somewhat heavier than Ilogau and he, tod, wears a sandv mustache. Ills hair is propped off short. The case was not taken up until late in the morning, as some of the witnesses were not present. When the case was called John Morris, the hotel clerk who discovered that Adams was dead, was put on the stand. He testified that it was quite early in the morning when the defendants came to remove the body, fie saw Hogan take the revolver from under the dead man’s pillow and noticed that one of the officers picked up Adams’ scarf, which contained the missing diamond. He was not positive which officer it was, he said, but after the scarf had been rolled up by the officer he never saw it again. Then Chief ifrennan was called to testify. The witnesses had all been excluded Alid were huddled together }n a small room adjoining the court. The chief swore that he first learned , pf the case through letters lih received from MeCrillus Adams, a brother pf the ^deceased, and Dr. Boyce of Fowler, Iud. The latter had stated • that he saw the officer take the diamond and other property. “I detailed Detective Williams to work on the case,” said.the chief, “thiukihg that a ph$take had been made at the coroner’s^fl^ce. I found that the property had never been tqrned over to the coroner, however, and. called the officers to my office, where they told me that they had turned over all the property to the poroner in a satchel.” Capt. Kaue then told how he had inquired of Hogan and Green the reason of their being summoued before Ihe chief. “Then they told me all about it,” said the captain. “They b»th denied having seen the diamond hut admitted that they had forgotten to turn over the revolver aud said that Green still had it.” A toy which the accused officers had given to Officer Burke was then introduced "in evidence and the prosecution rested until Saturday, when the case will be resumed at 11 o’clock. Dr. Boyce will then he brought tp Chicago to testify.

The People’s Monej. National money is a national medium of exchange for property aud products. There is no 6t)ch thing as a‘‘money of the world” or cosmopolitan money as gome are pleased to term gold. Mcfney is always cosmopolilau.aud never so much as international unless by agreement betweeu nations. Money being a mediumof exchange it is absolutely necessary that it be perpetually in circulation aud the idea of redeeming and retiring it trom circulation is absurd. It redeems itself every time it passes from hand to hand in discharge of a debt or obligation. The idea that it must be stamped on a mettle of intrinsic or commercial value, equal, or nearly so, in value to the monetary value it represents is as preposterous as that a judgement or decree of a

court must be written on a substance the commercial value of which is equal to the amount for which the decree or judgment is giveu. The theory also that if not stamped oh coin it must have a eoiu basis is equally absurd. Suppose a mau who owes me is possessed of every variety ot properly thaf exists aud I wish to secure the payment of his obligation by mortgage; would it not be the mq^t consomate idiocy for me to assert that I would not be safe with a mortgage on all his property of every variety that I must haye it on his colu alone? This is the effect of the argument of those who want coin qr paper based on coin only. The silver and gold certificates that circulate as money, certifying that so much gold or silver is deposited with the treasurer. Suppose instead of this; by virtue of law the certificate should state that all property of every class, kind or character owned by every individual and corporation municipal aud private secured it, and that it was a legal tender for all debts, is there auy one so brainless as to assert that it would not constitute a splendid circula'iug medium as money? It is reckless extravagance anil profligacy for the government to pay out a huudretd dollars for material ou which to stamp a hundred dollars when material a« good and preferred by most people, cau be had for a few pennies. We are democrats^, and we have a democratic administration; all departments (except the judicial) being in our hands. And if we do not solve the present financial question with wisdom and patriotism, for the best iuterest ot the whole people and not for a few gold bugs in Wall street and silver fanatics in Colorado, the responsibility will be ou us aud we cannot complain if the people with' draw their confidence. There was a time when our Senators were statesmen and patriots. There was a time when democrats, whose memory’s we revere, were prompted by the highest consideration that movo men. Their utterances come down to us with an eloquence hallowed by time ana we do not for one moment idoubt their sincerity, wisdom or integrity. This is what they says • Madison said: “It may bo necessary to ascertain the terms upon which the notes of the government, no longer required as instruments of credit, shall be issued upon motives of general policy as a comiuou medium ot circulation.” Jefferson said in relation to private banks, as our national banks, issuing money: “Bank currency must be suppressed aud the circulation restored to the federal government, to which it belongs.” Jackson, for whom it is said we democrats are voting > et, said: “I submit to the legislature whether a uational currency founded upon the credit ofJbe government and its resources might not be devised which will obviate all constitional difficulties, and at the same time seeure all advantages to the government and country that were expected to result from the preseut bank.” (U. S. Bank.) Mr. Calhoun said: “Believing that there might be a sound aud safe paper currency fouuded on the credit of the government exclusively, I tvas ever desirous that those who are responsible and have the power should have availed themselves off the opportunity.” It would certainly be wisdom for the senate to cease its work of wiud. repeal the silver purchasing clause and inculcate in law the suggestions above giveu. This would settle the silver question aud give the country a sound and staple currency. By so doing their names would be handed down to posterity as beuefactors. * * *
