ft i not t tfthat they ever atk"d t.n-
'or lcceivt V aiove than the market va'-
ue for their bullion under the Bland
act which was in force from '70 to '90.
The government bought silver at mar-
ket price coined it issued certificates
thereon at its coin value and made no
profit. According to the statement of
tho director of tho mint $70000000
was issued under the act of '00 which
repealed the Bland act. The govern-
ment receives 4000000 ounces of sil-
ver bullion per month and issues
therefor legal tender or treasury notes
for its market value. No money raised
by taxation is used in the purchase of
silver but legal tender treasury notes
are issued by the government in ex-
change at its market value in gold
nothing more nothing less.
The position of Sherman in
limiting the coinage and
making the silver dollar worth as
much as the goltl dollar by a promise
of redemption in gold is absurd.
Under such an arrangement silver is
mere credit money and no bettor than
paper. Why ?o to the expense of
making silver when paper wid answer
the same nurnose? Before silver was
demonetized both gold and silver were
money of ultimate redemption. Since
silver was demonetized there has been
no material increase in tho gold coin
of the world.

Through the Brain

ton thirty-three years of age a busi-
man well known in San Antouio and
for a number of years head bookoeper
for the wholesale firm of Goltlfrank
Frank & Co. was shot through the
brain and instantly killed in
his bedroom by a burglar at
an early hour this morning.
An entrance was made through a
rear wiutlow and the burglar was en-
deavoring to pry open the wardrobe
when heard by Patton who slipped
out of bed in his night clothes entirely
unarmed and in the pitch dark grap-
pled with the intruder. Tho rest of
the story is best told in the words of
tho widow:
"I did not hear Mr. Patton leave the
bed. I was awakened by a scuttling
sound as though bare feet were slid
ing ranidlv on the carpet. Then 1
heard a man say 'Oh!' as though he
were choking and immediately
after I saw a flash of
liarht and a sharp noise
as though a parlor match had been
struck. I heard a man move rapidly
out of the room and all was still. I
was badly frightened and threw out
my arm to touch my husband but ho
was not there. I then arose struck a
match went to the lamp and lit it.
1 saw iMr. ration lying at tne loot oi
the bed. lie was unconscious and
could not answer. The shot is all I
remember."
The neighbors were attracted by the
woman's screams and Patton who
was still breathing was lifted to the
bed. Dr. Schropshire was sent for.
He found that the man had been shot
squarly through the brain and noth-
ing could be done for him. He died
in about two hours. The county
blood hounds were put on the trail of
tho burglars. They took the scent at
the window from which he sprang
followed it ' to tho sidewalk and
refused to proceed any further. They
have been tried at various times dur-
ing the day but have been unable to
distinguish the murderer's footsteps
from the thousands of others which
have nassed alonjr the street since the
murder. Patton's lite was insured for
$20000. He has been known as an
exemplary business man. 0 A special
detective will ue put on me case.

Cotton Circular.
Galveston Tex. Sept. 1. At-
wood Violott & Co. say:
Futures Today has been another
of excitement advancing here 25
points from yesterday's closing? after-
wards declining 19 and closing 11 bet-
ter than yesterday and New York 7
better. Liverpool is luke warm and
closes about the same as yesterday
notwithstanding the advance in both
New York and New Orleans yester-
day. As we saitl in our last
opinions are valueless. At presont
tho situation here is as follows:
Several houses are largely long of
market on near positions say Novem-
ber Decembor and January and as
they don't soli it creates an artiticial
scarcity of tho months of which they
have bought and thou an artificial
advance or an advance out of propor-
tion to tho improvement in New York
and Liverpool is created putting this
market 20 to 25 points of New York
when they should bo 35 to 40
points apart. This applies whether
the market advances or declines.
It remains to. bo seen now whether
tho market can bo further advanced
on unfavorable crop reports. Our
New York telegrams say again to-day
that Now Orleans orders were largely
the cause of the advance there.
