"The most remarkable civil action I ever heard of," said a well-known at torney to a group of friends at the law yers' Club, "was a case tried in one of the circuit courts of New Jersey some fifteen years ago. As I happened to be one of the counsel in the case, I remem ber the, facts, and I have never seen any record of a similar lawsuit. "This case Was tried before the late Judge Gaines, and was entitled, Stacy vs. Parton, and Partou vs. Stacy, for there were counter actions growing out of the same state of facts. George Stacy lived in a small town on the Up er Delaware ltiver, and owned a truck farm some three miles up the valley from his home. His farm lay along the bank of the river, and he shipped vege tables in season to Xew York and Phil adelphia, besides supplying the local market. He had a good trade in the village, and kept a small flat-bottomed boat, which he used to transport his stuff from the farm. "Stacy would load the boat with veg etables at the farm in the early morn ing, and float down stream to the town. When he had sold out it was a matter of an hour's hard work to row or pole the boat back, but it was cheaper thau keeping a team. The man lived in a small house near the river on the south side of town. He was a widower about 50 years old, and had a family of sev eral children, all of them grown up. "Across the street from Stacy lived Mrs. Caroline Parton, a widow, who was a few years younger tba n the fa rm er. She, too, had several children, all about grown. Sire. Partou owned a email tract of land just above her cot tage, where she pastured a numls;r of cows. She sold milk and butter in the town, and, with keeping a few board ers and taking in sewing, managed to earn a comfortable living. "One morning Stacy came to town with a load of fresh cabbage on his boat. He drew his frail craft up to the bank at the usual landing place, and secured it there by tying a rope around a stake in the ground. The other end of the rope was fastened to one of the oar locks on the !oat. Leaving boat and cargo unguarded, he went up to the town market tq sell his stock. "It happened on that particular morn ing that one of Mrs. Parton's most val uable milk cows had jumped over the pasture fence and wiw browsing along the banks of the river. The smell of fresh cabbage reached the nostrils of the cow, and as Stacy's boat lay full length along the bank it was an easy matter for her to step aboard, where a good breakfast lay unguarded. , "Some of the neighbors saw the wid ow's cow eating the farmer's cabbage, but for some reason, never explained why they did not inform either of the parties at interest. It may seem strange that a cow should turn from a crate of freah cabbage to chew a cotton rope, but that was what really happened. The result was that her sharp teeth soon cut the rope In two, and then the boat, freed from Its moorings, began to float down stream. "Stacy, coming back from the mar ket, was startled to see his boat drift ing down the river with a cow standing In the bow lashing her tail In fear and bellowing aloud for aid. Mrs. Parton beard the voice of the favorite of her herd and reached the bank of the river at the same time as the fanner. "The current was strong and swift at that point and there was not another boat In sight Half a mile below the town some big jagged rocks rose out of the water near the middle of the river. Stacy's boat ws caught in a swift sddy, and while the owner looked on helpless to do anything the frail craft tract broadside on a sharp rock. It recoiled from toe blow, turned partly around and sank in mid-stream, "Mrs. Parton's cow evidently could not swim, or else the current was too st rone for her. Sbe went down with tba beat and did not come to the sur face again. Tb farmsr swore softly when he saw kit, boat go down and the widow tkraw an apraa over her head to shut at ftgbt of Um death struggle of fear Ourattta cow. Then tiha two neigh txa watcfe? tba fiver for few mo nor SiaeUsnce. . K -l'tSy toflMD away Mrs. Par , , M CwV: rwr wot of v- -, T Jf It"" l , am. I shall need the money as soon as you can spare It." "'Why, Mrs. Parton, you surely do not expect me to pay you for the cow 7 said Stacy. " "Certainly, I do. i he boat belonged to you.' f 'Exactly, and who is to pay for that and the load of cabbage? Your cow chewed the rope in two.' " 'P.ut you left the boat unguarded.' "'Your cow Jumped out of the pas ture. " "You should have fastened the boat with a chain.' " 'You ought to keep your cows where they belong. " 'It was your boat tbat carried her off. Maytie there is some law to pro tect a poor lone widow who has to work for a living. I didn't think you would treat me so.' " 'My boat is worth three times as much as your cow.' " That's right! Impose on me all you can because I am a woman with no one to protect me.' "By this time Mrs. Parton was in tears and the neighbors separated. Sta cy called on the widow next day and told her that he had proof that her cow bit the rope in two and set the boat adrift. "She retorted that she could prove in a court of law that the boat was not securely anchored and defied him to I bring suit "All attempts at compromise failed, and the upshot of it all was that Mrs. Parton brought suit against Stacy to recover the sum of $40, the value of one cow. "The farmer retained the firm of which I was a member, and brought a counter-suit to recover the value of one woouen flatboat and one load of cablwge. The town was about equally divided in its opinion of the legal mer its of the case, but the burden of sym pathy was with the widow. Before the papers in Stacy's case were filed the double action was the talk of the town, and it w:is predicted that we would have to get a change of venue in order to obtain an impartial jury. "Three months after the suits were brought the case came to trial in the Circuit Court Mrs. rat-ton's suit was tried first, by agreement. A score of witnesses were examined, and the Judge took a lively interest in the trial from the outset. The court room was crowded with spHiators. "The examination of Stacy by Judge Gaines was something like this: " 'You are George Stacy, the defend ant?' " "I am.' " 'This Is a very remarkable case, Mr. Stacy.' " 'Yes.' " 'You are a neighbor of this plain tiff? " 'Yes.' " 'Known her long?' " "Forty years, alxrat. " 'From childhood','' " 'Yes.' " 'You are a widower, I believe, Mr, Stacy?' " "I am.' "'Mrs. Parton is a widow?' " 'Yes.' " 'You both have children grown up? " 'Yes.' " 'In the ordinary course of events you will both be alone in the world very skxhi. Your children will marry and leave you. " 'I supjKwe 80.' "'You have known Mrs. Parton forty years?' " 'About tha t long.' " "The Judge was silent for several minutes, during which time he slowly turned the leaves of a law book thati lay open on his desk. The Jurors were leaning forward in their seats, looking first at the plaintiff and then at the defendant Stacy was getting nervous, and began to turn and twist in the wit ness chair. By this time the plaintiff had evidenly caught the drift of the Judge's questions. She kept her eyes fixed on the floor, but I could see her color coining and going rapidly. "The Judge cleared his throat and turned to the witness again. There wag Just the trace of a smile on his face as he said to Stacy: This is a very pe culiar case.. " 'She brought suit first,' the witness stammered. " 'You own a farm, Mr. Stacy? " 'I do.' " 'Mrs. Parton owns some cows?" " 'I believe so.' " 'How many cows do you own?' " 'Xoner "The Judge looked at his law book again and then glanced at the plaintiff for a moment. " 'Have you tried to settle this cas out of court, Mr. Stacy? " 'Yes, before she brought suit. " 'Did you offer to compromise? " 'No.' " 'Mrs. Parton Is a good woman ? " 'She Is.' " 'She is a smart woman? " 'I never sa w a better worker.' " Was she a good wife and mother? " 'Yes.' " 'Don't you think the case can be settled out of court?" " That's for Mrs. Parton to say.' " 'Are you willing to try to settle It? "By this time every person In the court room wns smiling broadly. Sta cy's face wns as red ns a beet, and Mrs, Parton was blushing furiously. "Judge Grimes, with a smile ofosatls faction, announced that a recess would be taken In order that the defendant might have a private conference wltb tbe plaintiff. "Half an hour later Stacy and Mrs. Parton came into tne court room hand In hand, and, going up to the Judge, they announced that they bad agreed U settle their case out of court. They were married by the 'Hodge, and thai toded the cast of Parton vs.. Stacy, Tba salt of Stacy vs. Parton waa withdrawn." SOLD TO SHY LOCKS. OUR DEBT BURDEN RAPIDLY IN CREASING. A Plain Talk on the Montr Question TheOoldbnB and the " liimet alli.t" Only a Ft w steps Apart in the Pro cesaion Plan for Organization. K Few Blooming Idiots. "Condemned to forever roll the stone that was forever to be rolled," was the sentence imposed on one of the characters of Greek mythology. This sentence Is now imposed on the Ameri can toiler. We have paid two-thirds of the war debt, and the remaining third is bigger than the whole of it was when we begun. How do you make that out, Cherry? WelL Just figure up how much it would take to pay ff2,8X),0o0, 000 In cotton at 20 cents a pouud, or wheat at $2 per bushel, and compare that with what it would take to pay one-third that amount in cotton at 5 cents ptr pound or wheat at 50 per bushel. If the sucker who carried a torch and "hollered" to help his side beat the other side (of Wall street; hasn't sense enough to understand these figures, Just band them over to his ten-year-old schoolboy. At the close of the war the inople were "comparatively free from debt," said Secretary of the Treasury McCul loch. The war debt was all the people owed, and nearly all this as lu circu lation among the people as the nation's legal tender money. Business was done for cash. There was a less per cent, of credit business than ever be fore. Labor found employment on ev ery side at high wages and ready cash for pay. To-day, after thirty-two years of hard work, our debts, public and pri vate, amount to forty billions all that the property is worth at present prices. Ours is a rich country, owned largely in Europe. Our annual interest, rent and divi dend payments to Europe amount to from three hundred millions to three hundred and fifty millions a year; and the amount Is rapidly increasing. We annually dig out of our mines from thirty-five to forty millions of gold, and from fifty to seventy millions of silver. And only last year I saw poor half-starved American working men who believed that out of this fH 000,000' of gold we could pay this '.",0, 000.000 to Europe in gold, and have dead-loads of gold left to do business with and accumulate enough surplus after awhile to pay the principal. Such fellows ought to le knocked in the head to save feed. Hogs could be fat tened ou what they eat and that would add something to the country's wealth. "Bimetallism! bimetallism:" yelled a wlde-moMtued - orator. "Add silver, too." All right. To ?40,0fx),0oo, our highest annual product of gold in a decade, add $72,0M),ooo of silver, mak ing ?11S,om i.ooo of Iwth with which to p.iy to Europe $3o,"0 ,0ou, and have a balance to transact our home busi ness. Don't you see that the poor working man who votes for the goldbug Is a blooming Idiot, while the "bimetallist" Is a half-opened bud on the same bush? Verily, verily, I say unto you, there Is no way under heaven or among men whereby prosperity permanent and en during can 1k restored to this people and liberty and the republic maintained except by the Issue and permanent maintenance of Uncle Sam's absolute everlasting greenbacks. Hut up to date a large per cent, of our people, voters who have the powers of government and the destiny of the re public in their hands, will not reason on these matters, but will thiuk It smart to follow some slick demagogue who tells them how free and smart they are, and who leads them with such clap-trnp and catch phrases ns "honest money," "sound money," and "bimetallism;" phrases as meaningless and senseless as rival college yells. May God In Ills Infinite wisdom and mercy give the starving American voter such a dose of Harrlson-Cleve-laud-McKInley prosperity that he will use his head for something else than a peg to hang his hat on.

The Peat of KTidence. The lack of attention given the Nash ville conference by the Associated Press is very similar to the way our movement has been Ignored in years past and Is also a very significant fact and worthy of note. The Cincinnati conference wag given fair treatment by the press of the city, but the daily press of the country gave it a few words only If any mention whatever. They almost Ignored the Omaha convention, and hundreds of papers never mentioned it. The fact that the daily press generally, except the local papers of Nashville, treated the r-cent conference with the same si lence that marked the early organiza tion of the party, is the best evidence that we are right. Only one daily paper In Chicago men tioned the Nashville Populist confer ence, and then only gave it a few lines. It was nn assembly of almost a thou sand people, over three hundred of whom were regularly elected delegates representing almost every Slate in the t'nion. A few weeks ago these same papers devoted page after page to a "silver convention," composed of less than forty silver Republicans, who met to organize a "new party." The voter who will regard with dis cretion thp action of a subsidized daily press ought to be able to decide where the Interests of the people belong. When a conference of a thousand peo ple, or fifteen hundred, as we had in Cincinnati, is passed over in silence and the vnisirings of a committeeman who would unite on silver alone, is given space and prominence, the co ile ought to be able to understand it. When a mere handful of politicians is tKiomcd into prominence and the in terests of millions of farmers ignored, it means that the pros is owned and controlled by speculators, and that Wall street controls even the minutest details of news. Every voter who knows enough to be a Populist should make a note of these points. The best evidence in the world that we are right is found In the fact that the subsidized press doesn't try to lwom our movement. Kcferrndnra in -trifcra There has no projiosod political re form ever gained such rapid hold on the minds of the people as has that of direct legislation, and there Is no bet ter evidence of this than the decision of the leaders of the present miners strike to call for a referendum vote whenever a settlement is in sight. The following dispatch from Colum bus, Ohio, under date of July III, Indi cates the growth of opinion on that line: Tbe national executive board of the United Mine Workers, in session here to day, decided to refer the matters sug gested b the strike to the miners them selves. In former strikes the settlement has hem negotiated and concluded by the official board, w hich bus sometimes failed to thoroughly satisfy the miners. In some instances the board has been charted with treachery, and they will not iK-nnit that charge to be made at this time. The na tional board has concluded to weigh care fully every proposition for a settlement, ami when a proposition meets their ap proval they will refer it to' the miners, who will be asked to vote on the refer endum plan. The nefion to-day indicates that the na tional l.osrd has relinquished its power to conclude n settlement. All matters in dispute will lie referred to the miners, and in case of disagreement, a convention will be called. It is the first time that the referendum system has been called into play. Whenever the ordering and settle ment of strikes Is left to a vote of those most deeply Interested, It will be a long step In the right direction and will help to prove that the people, If trusted to act by a direct vote, will generally be right, while the actions taken by rep resentatives are generally wrong. The referendum will settle the strike ques tion whenever It Is thoroughly applied. Chicago Express. Tbe Bimetallic Commtaaion, What object did the Republican ad ministration have In view when It ap pointed the bimetallic commission? Was there an honest desire to redeem the pledges of the St IouIs platform? The Is-st answers to these questions are found In the editorials of adminis tration newspapers. With one accord they Join In ridiculing the Idea that the bimetallic commission will Is; able to accomplish anything. Of course, the Republican party Is unalterably resolved to force the Uni ted States to a monometallic gold ba sis, but what did that party mean by Incorporating the following plnnk In Its platform "We are oposed to the free coinage of silver except by Inter national agreement with the leading commercial nations of the world, which we pledge ourselves to pro mote?" Does the Republican party redeem this pledge by discrediting the labors of Its own commission? Does It re deem this pledge by asserting that this commission In no manner represents the administration which aptsdnted It? Does It redeem this pledge by straining every nerve to secure gold monometal lism? The fact la the Republican party ssade tbat pledge simply to fool vot ers. Tbe commission was appointed to fool the peolJe. The time lm com when the liinik IliilKt be taken off nilj the feiiiures of gold moiiometulllkiu are revealed. fcilr-raniJ 1 roaparltr. If history teaches unythlng It teach es that h bimetallic currency conduces to national prosperity, and that mono metallism produces distress among the people and a decline In business ac tivity. It Is not necessary to go any further back than the year lsaai for the begin ning of a decade of prosperity, nor to travel away from the United States to find Its field of operation. From jsii'.l to 1ST0 tils natiou paid off half of Its great debt, and at that time sil ver was coined at an average rate of three million dollars a month. This silver went into circulation, and by its presence stimulated business to such an extent that the government was enabled to cancel a large part of its war debt.' Since Ish'.i nothing has lieen paid on the national debt of the United States, but, ou the contrary, G rover Cleveland, by his adherence to the value-destroying gold isilicy, saddled the jieople with an Increased obligation of $'JiS2, 0txt,0"0. This adds ten million dollars a year of extra expense to ! borne in the way of Interest, and all that has been received in return is widespread commercial depression and disaster. The Republican party acknowledged In the St. Louis platform that bimet allism was a good thing, and pledged itself to labor for the International recognition of the double standard, but there Is nothing so disgusting to a He publlcan to-day as a report that the bimetallic? commission is making suc cessful progress In Europe. The fact Is, the Republican party Is owned by the trusts, the trusts want the gidd standard, ami the welfare of the people, the teachings of history, the solemn pledges the party has made must all be cast aside when the gold trust bosses crack their whips. Turin" for '' ru. The work of the Semite on I be tariff bill has resulted in creating a Frank enstein that will destroy the party re sponsible for It. The law establishes a tariff for trusts and a deficit. It will aid the rich to become richer, and, through Its outrageous tuxes upon the necessities of life, it will force the poor to become poorer. The sugar trust gets a present of half a hundred million of dollars, and the people get a tax on everything they eat and wear, A feeble attempt was made to throw a sop to the farmers of the West by a proposed bounty ou beet sugar, but the attempt was half-hearted, ineffectual and soon made inoperative. As a revenue getter the tariff Is the worst failure ever made by legislation. Hy giving notice to the iiniioiiers that the retroactive clause would be strick en out, any chance of securing revenue within the next twelve months was ef fectually destroyed, and fhe measure made an act for the protection and en richment of trusts. The agony of tar iff legislation Is over, and for this, much thanks. The hope that the bill will do the people any g'wd has long since been abandoned by friends and foe alike. Farm News.
