FRANCE AND SILVER.
Tho newspapers which clamor for Hie
free coinage of silver in the United
States, curloualy enough, frequently
point to France as an exfwrvpk * 1 that
lusltfles our government In adopting
that policy. “Just let us do as France
does,” they say. "and we will be all
rlghit. The French halve oimetultifliri.
and there la no reason why we should
nod hiwie it aUso.’t
Now, as a, mutter of fact, there has
txx been ia legal tender silver coin
turned out by fho (mints of France on
private account lit atiout twenty years.
The mints at (hat oounlry are just as
absolutely closed sgoiiurf stiver as
those of fhle United Btaites are now.
During the time when ours -were coin
ing siiv-r i!>Vrfh* BtuidiAlllson law,
nnd l.lter, whkm our treasury was emit
ting notes bused on diver under the
Sherman law. no auditions -whatever
were being made to the volume of the
French sliver currency. There were no
mints nny where, not even thus of Ger
many nnd Engtumd. more nearly her
metically closed against Silver than
tho ho of France. This Is sXl true.
There Is no free coinage of silver ot
all, except of minor coins, perhaps, on
govoramoirt account, just OS there Is lh
llio United Btar.cs.
Those references ia French free
coinage nre about twenty years out of
date. TWare was once free coinage in
than country, but it was abandoned far
thb very ».ume reason -which now
makes free celnago impossible in tho
United States. Tho French government
saw tbit It could no longer maintain
tho free oolnago of silver wttihout per
mitting the curronoy of tho country
to sink to the silver basis, and rather
than permit this, It closed Its mints
ngulnst silver. If -will not open them
again do that metal unless under an
Internal Jonal agreement.
For tho men -Who are In favor of In
dependent free coinage in this coun
try, therefore, to cite 1h« example of
Franco la JusttneaHlon of tlielr de
mand, Is dishonest. Tho example of
Franco Is exadtly apposed to iwihivt they
assort or Insinuate 'that it is. Instead
of French example Justifying free
oolnago«Jt Justllles the closing ot tho
mints against silver until an interna
tional a&rcomont 1ms been reached ns
to ttiho proper ratio of coinage.
WrUAfT IS A “FUGITIVE."
Some time ago Governor Hogg of
Texas iniude a mulls! Han on Governor
Flower of New York for too anrest anil
extradition of IMr. Johu D. Uockefel-
lor of fho Standard OH Company, on
Hie grotind that he mis n fugitive from
Justice and Hhould bo rottirned to Texas
for trial. Governor Flower rehised to
honor too reipilsttlon on 'bliu ground
Uiat ,Mr. Jlekofrf’.ar bud never lK-on In
TasmU therefore could m>t lie a fu
gitive from. JtHtice In that state.
llloro nceuiUy, Governor Hogg has
sent similar roqulsltlou ixipons to Gov-
ornor .Mltx-hdll of Florida, mt-hthe pur-
pooo of having iMr. II. >M. FLigler, also
of the BtaUwl 0.1 Oompjbj-, sent to
Texas for trial. IMr. Flagler, like Mr.
ItoakoXcttlcr, h.is mover boon In Texas
ami of Conran denies tint ho is a fugi
tive Am Justlae. Govtunor MltchcU
has honored Who roquisillon, lmt no
doubt IMr. Flagler will resist in

him 'to Texas for trtal, and (lio ques-
L'on whether A man am bo n fugitive

they bane never been In die state does

wtdiii they have coiraultted to rough

The deelaloa nf the Florida courts

INJUSTICE TO DODGE.
One of the lending nKtottoats of
Dodge cotuitj- sends n luster, which we
print in another coknm, tn -which he
pretests agnitsit the ((tihntj on the
part of the ptvus to locate all sorto of

(BUSINESS AND CHARITY.
Tho proposition to send a train load
or two of Southern cam and meat to
tho starving peopOo of Nebraska prob
ably combines consciously business
with charity. During a good many
years post toe South has been a buyer
nul tho West too seller of corn and
meats. The sc-ntiltvg of tho itraln loads
lu the opposite dtroatkm would he In
tended to emphasize tho taot tout toe
.South Is now 'taking care of hcrsolf by
raising her own com and meat, and It
would not fall to do this saut.on a gr.ut
ileal of good if toe people of too North
west wore thoroughly apprised of this
foot. Tliiose of Nebraska, especially,
during too last hwo years, have made
almost no crops. Many of them nre in
an almost starving condition, not
through any fault of toelr own, but be
en uso(hey litvo stHtledln a bare prairie
region, scorched by an almost Intoler
able sun In summer and swept by al
most unendurable bhznards tn winter.
When Ibrar see too anrivnl among them
of 'tbo surplus food sent .town in chari
ty from a region where too summers,
if long, ore not Intolerably hot, where
there ore no blizzards, and where crops
are contain, H will too stuango if they do
not eiperlonco a desire Jo emigrate to
Dixie.
