Jones Was ( J IIIKI. Frank and Mary Jones were caught about three weeks ago running a "badger game" on Pearl street , opposite Dayllss park , and were sentenced to a thirty-day term In the county Jail. Like most of the par'iculaily dis reputable cases In pollen court lately , the sen tence was suspended In order that the two colored people ml&ht leave the city , llut they had Mich luck In running In suckers on the Iowa side that they were unwilling to stay away. Last week they came back and took up their abode In a house near the cor ner of Main street and Ninth avenus. In the rear of D. II. McD.ineld & . Co.'s office. They wore tracked there by the police , and yester day morning about 2 o'clock Onicers Martin , O'llrlen , Vv'elr and Eabdule paid a visit to their house. Jones refused to accompany them to the Jail because they had no warrant , so the officers went to the house of Justice Walker and swore out the necessary warrants. When they came back Officers Martin and O'Brien guarded the outside doors to sco that they did not escape , while Weir and Easdale went Into the room where Jones and the woman wero. Jones was slttli-g In a clnlr by the window putting on his shoes. Just as he picked up the last shoe to put It on Easdale caught a gllmpso of a revolver In Ma hand. It hnd been put Into the shoo for safe keeping , and was evidently taken out with a vlow to using It on Officer Weir , who wai almost In range. Easdale grabbed him quickly by the wrist , and probably prevented Weir from having a pain somewhere In his body today. The two are now In the city Jail to serve out their thirty days' sentence. There Is said to bo proof that they have been carrying on their old game , which got them Into trouble at first , and the chances are that another case will bo commenced against them as soon as they are released.

The case of the elate against Henry Phillips camp up for a trial In thu court of Justice Cook yesterday morning , the charge being kidnaping Mr * . L. Looman. The story told by the lady In the case showed that she had been abused and maltreated by Looman for tevcral weeks , having scarcely enough money provided to keep her ullve. Had It not been for the neighbors she would have starved. Her courln , Phillips , appeared on the scene and offered to take her to Dakota , where she had relatives living. The trip was decided upon and Mrs. Looman , her brother , George Potter and wife , Henry Phillips , and three children , quietly left together. Phillips was discharged by the court , and Po'ttcr , charged with taking away mortgaged property , Is to have a hearing tomorrow. He claims he was on his way to Dakota to work , but expected to return and bring the mortgaged horse and wagon back with him. The case lias occasioned considerable com ment In official circles , and the opinion Is al most unanimous that the ends of justice would not have been badly defeated If the little party of emigrants had been allowed to keep on their way to Dakota. Looman has shown himself totally unable to provide for his wife's support , even If the charges made by his wife that ho has been In the habit of nbuslng her are unfounded. If she had gone to Dakota she would soon have been In the hands of her relatives , who would have been able to keep her decently. As It was , she had to be kept In the county jail the first night and has been In the care of charitable per sons ever since. From now on she will prob ably have to be supported by the county. 25C BILK VKII.IMI t CKNT A V.VHI ) IlcunUon llron A Illg 8tlo : Wednes day * 1,000 yards of navy blue sewing silk veilIng - Ing , Wednesday , Ic a yard. 3,000 yards of 4c , Sc and Cc val laces , Ic yard.

Wlllemans came out of the cele bration with two gorgeously hand-painted eyes , and without $65 In cash , a horse , and 1 a watch which he claimed to have had when he commenced.

The proprietors of h\ck and express lines cannot be made to under stand that the city ordinance which requires them to take out licenses Is not on the books purely for ornamental purposes. There are about forty men In the city who are sup posed to be liable for the tax , but so far only twenty-flve have come to the scratch.

Arguments will not be heard until the Sef.tember term of court. The police authorities are vigilant , and will have a large number of drug stores on the string by the time court Is ready. The mayor Is making a personal Investigation of the nearly 200 drug stores , lie Is going about Incognito as much as possible , and as a result will file a number of petitions In the district court for the revocation of penults to the said drug gists to sell liquors. The city council this evening passed the mulct saloon ordinance over the mayor's veto , so that while the sa loon drug stores are being closed up the mulct saloons will run unless some unforsecn method Is found to close them. SIOUX CITY , July 1C. ( Special Tele gram. ) One of the acts of the twenty-third general assembly of this state concerning the Issuance of funding and refunding the bonds by cities of the first class , has been called In question In connection with such an Issue by the city council here , and If sustained by the courts may make serious trouble all over the state. Several months ago the city Issued $200,000 of funding bonds under an act apply ing merely to cities' ot the first class organ ized as such since January 1 , 1885. A con tract was made with Roberts & Co. , a New York bond house , to take the Issue. Since then the firm's attorneys have concluded thai the act In question Is special legislation , and consequently unconstitutional. The rnonej for1 the bonds has not yet been turned over to the city treasurer , and the probabilities are that the firm will repudiate the transaction Many other cities In the state have made similar Issues , all of which will be Invalidated If this Is decided to be so.

CHICAGO , July 1C. The much talked of debate on the silver question between ex- Congressman Iloswell G. Herr of Michigan and William II. Harvey , author ot "Coin's Financial School , " commenced at the Illinois club at Ashlaud avenue this afternoon at 2 o'clock In the presence ot a large number ot invited guests. No debate upon a great national question In recent years has attracted eo rnuct atten tion. The widespread Interest felt In the silver problem , the earnestness with which the question Is being discussed and debated ; n nearly every western and southern state , the bitterness between the contending fac tions cf the democracy In many states and the open warfare between the "free coinage" and "administration" wings of the democracy In recent state conventions held by that party liavo all combined to lend a national Interest to the debate which commenced this after noon In this city. The conditions of the debate are out of the ordinary. According to the terms of the agreement the debate Is to continue for ten consecutive days , three hours , each ( lay be ing divided between the two speakers. Each speaker will In turn make a l. ou-word state ment. After three minutes fur consideration the opponent will be given opportunity for a 1,000-word reply. The Judges of the de bate are Judge W. A. Vincent und Hon. Henry Miller. Mr. Herr was given the opening this aftsr- noon , and , according to tt.b agreement , he made the following preliminary statement : HOIIH'S OPENING STATEMENT. It'iipyrtKht secured by Azel IHntcli of Oili-ago. ) Judges and Gentlemen : It Is agreed be tween Mr. Hurvey uucl myself that previous to entering upon the general discussion eneh of us shiill make a brlet suiemerit defining In u general way the pojit.cu he proi > oses to occupy in this debate. Tno question which we lire about to dis cuss Is one that In riot only receivint ? vigor ous uttJntlon among the people of the United States , but Is one which Is ulsc re ceiving some attention by the nations ot the other world. The question Involves the kind of money that should be used by thi rn-ople of the United States nnd baa to Uo with laws which will affect the great busi ness Interests of this nation. The question of tlnance In a very com plicated one , and there are some features of It about which the ablest men of the world have been differing for years. The foundation of the discussion upoi which we are about to enter is a smal boolc published by Mr. Harvey , my op ponent , entltleil "Coin's Fi liiaiicltil School. ' The real aim and object of that book IK to convince the people Of the United States that the government should alone at once enter upon the free anil unlimited coinage of silver upon the old ratio of IB to 1. The wisdom of such a coul-se 1 dispute. Mr Harvey will ttlll maintain the uttlrmutlvt on that IssuV ; . I will Btate at the outset that irom the kvclr-nlnic to the end of the book tnerc Is harcJlv n proposition made to which 1 give my assent , ' I propose tu controvert many think * which are statec as facts , and shall attempt to prove that tilt entire thoorv set forth by , its author , I adopted by the i > fonle , of' this country would lead unl > to lviMie ( , ulsaster am financial ruin. I do not -remember now ever to have examined a Ixjok carefully In which I found so few' yfuCementfl that I consider worthy of belief , anil I certainly never saw so many abiolu c erroM cr.irnmel Into BO few pages. 1 am not here as an opponent of bimetal lism. I believe In the use of gold and sil ver as money to the fullest extent that can be done on sound business principles. My position upon this question , haw been too frequently stated within the. Urn illvp yeais to be misunderstood by , anyone , I believe that both gold and silver are the natural money of the world ; thnf ( n all the larger transactions gold Is better adapted to the needs of the people than silver ; that all the smaller business transactions of the human family for many years have been and always should be conducted with sil ver. I also believe that in all transactions of the nations of the world between them selves the two rnetals should be used In the settling of balances but only at their com mercial value. 1 also believe that In the business of our nation the people should never attempt to use either metal except at Its actual value , only In cases where one metal may be used as token money and be maile redeemable In metal ut Ita commercial value. 1 have always entertained the hope that the business men of the world would yet i-ome together In an International conven tion and agree upon some basis whereby gold and sliver can both be uccd as the 'money of Until settlement among the people ple of the entire world. I am very clear In my Idea that until some such arrange ment shall be made It would be simply suicide for this nation to adopt a sytt'in of the free coinage of silver upon the old ratio , 11 ratio which all the civilized nations or the world have long since discarded. I do not believe that any one government can fix the value upon any two metals and name a ratio which will be accepted by the people of the world or the country Itself so thPt the two metals will bo used side by side. Consequently , if our nation alone should attempt any such action. It would simply place our country upon a silver basis ann the attempt would end In sliver monometallism. If we are compelled to decide betwen gold monometallism and sil ver monometallism , then I am decidedly In favor of adopting the standard used by the civilized nations of the world. I do not believe that silver hns ever been de monetized anywhere In the world. I be lieve that the law of 1873 , which Mr. Har vey's book denounces as n "crime , " was honestly conceived , ppenly advocated , nnd passed by the American congress after full deliberation and because the people at that time who held seats In the American con- bress believed that such a law ought to be enacted. I do not believe In the teachings of this book that this nation Is on the verge 8f financial ruin , or that starvation is star ing our people In the face. I believe If our nation should adopt the course advocated In this book It would seriously Injure the wage earners of the United States. I be lieve we would destroy the confidence of the business men of the world In our In tegrity as a nation and that we would pre- su'h a financial panic as our coun try has never before seen. I shall deny most emphatically th ' * great majority of the people of this country are In debt , and shall Insist that three- fourths of the American people are today creditors and not debtors and that consequently quently the system which Mr. llnrvcv advo cates would work great Injury to the vast majority of American nlilzens. 1 will state furtner that If this book about which we ore going to debate Is true , then I am nil wrong. It seems to me to be devoid of business sense from be ginning to end , and I shall enter upon the work of attempting to.jirove. that , and hope to be able to do It la.language that shall be so plain and explicit othut my fellow citizens will be satisfied that I have accom plished my task.

( Copyright secuml by An-l f. Hatch uf ChlciiRO. ) 1 am here to defend the facts und princi ples In "Coin's Financial School. " 1 am aware that the Illustrations in that book uru n great aid In presenting clearly Its views. We find this true In our schools , Many scientific works rely largely on Illustra tions , and our newspapers Hnd that Illustra tions make plain many Ideas that could not otherwise be clearly expressed. And yet 1 am hero to defend orally the e same principles. 1 expect to make good In this debate the following propositions : 1. That silver and gold are the money of the constitution ; that the silver dollar was the unit of vuliic In nur coinage system In this country from 17U2 to 1S73 , Just as thn yardstick was the measure of length. That gold was measured In this silver unit and concurrent coinage given to It ( gold ) . That sliver nnd gold combined constituted the legal standard of value In this country un til 1S73. Silver measured gold ; the two together measure nil other property. 2. That the act of 1S73 was surreptitiously ii.istei.1. 3 Tl.at duilriK thn period 1792 to 1573 the mints were open to Iho unlimited coin age of both rnetals Into primary or redemp tion money nnd that both were treated as such. That during that period the people had n'llgl.t to hnvi- either metal coined Into full Irgal tendir rnom-y. and that the op tion was with thr ddilcir to pay In coins of either metal. 4. That this bimetallic system made an unlimited demand for botli metals to be coined Into money , Released demand for tht'Ho rnetals , and so long as this lnw , nu- thorlJ-inf , ' any one to coin 371' ! grains of sliver and i'l 2-11 * grains of gold Into u dollar , there was no one willing to sell either for less than n dollar. G. That the option to pay In cither metal caused the cheaper of the two rnetals to be used , nnd transferred the demand from the linncr to the cheaper metal , and re stored Its relative commercial value. We are for both silver and gold. We are called silver men , because we are defending the metal that has been demonetized. B. That It Is to the Interest of the United States to ttci Independently In the rernone- Izatlon of silver at the ratio to gold of 16 to 1 , without waiting for the action of any other nation. 7. That monometallism consists In the use of the dearer of the two metals to the ex clusion of the other as primary or re- ilemptlon money. That monometallism Is nri experiment on trial for the first time In the history of the world , and began with the period of 1873. That It Is Impractical and Impossible as n stable money measure ment of values. Is not based on sclentlllc financial principles , Is In the Interest of the money lenders and against the Interest of the property owner * nnd laborers. 5. That the gold unit as the measure of values with no concurrent coinage of any other metal to assist it In performing the functions of primary money has caused the fall In prices as compared with 1S71 ! , when the world's prices of property were meas ured In the money mass of both metals. That all prices of property nnd labor have declined accordingly ns compared with 1872. except when held up relatively by Increased demand or short supply or combines nnd trusts or by special reasons affecting a particular service or property. That the average price of all production , except gold , will show this decline Is adjusting Itself to the gold standard. And that when we Include In labor the unemployed and the time lost by those ernploved , there Is n fnll In wages of one-half as Rimpared with 1872. That labor la adjusting Itself to the gold ttnndurd measurement of values. 9. That the decline In prices covers n period of twenty-two years , nnd ns n rule has made nil classes of reductive , mercant 1" < nd manufacturing business unprofitable ; that a falling market , covering a long period , destroys the prospective profits liased on cost of purchase and production , and a majority of our most astute business men cannot avoid failure or loss of capital under these conditions. 10. That It has worked a hardship nnd InJury - Jury to debtors , who , unconscious of the causes that continuously reduce the prices of their property , have contracted debts during1 these twenty-two years ; that this fall In prices causes a sacrifice of property to purchase the dollars with which to liqui date these debts ; that this has caused the- renewal of old debts , the contract of new debts , to pay old ones , nnd an enlarged volume" of all debtRj'thar-thlfi unjustly tnkes from a debtor his property and emphasizes the Importance of a stable money measure ment of values. 11. That In the end no one Is benefited by a fall In prlfrs but the money lender , the owner of money and securities payable In money-fixed Incomes. 12. That the foregoing facts are conditions produced by a change of our money meas urement of values nnd will Impoverish the masses of the people , and that It points by reason of the disturbances It will produce to the overthrow of the republic. To all unbiased men and those who will 'ay ' asldp their prejudices during their readIng - Ing on this debate I expect to make good all of the foregoing propositions. Every fact In the school that Mr. Herr does not attack I shall take for granted that he admits Its truth. I am now rrndy to pro- reed in the order lndlcat d In "Coin's Finan cial School , " nnd as contemplated by the rules of the debate. I300K IS ALLEGORICAL. The debate proper began by Mr. Herr ask ing his opponent to tell plainly if there was ever any such schcol held as that described In the book "Coin's Financial School. " Mr. Harvey The "school" Is allegorical ; It marshals the opinions of the two sides of this controversy that one In Imagination can see the conflict of opinions and the contest as It proceeds. At this point the contestants discussed at length the definition of money. Coming to the money system of the United States , Mr. Herr said : "The first law that was ever passed In the United States upon the subject of money was on the Gt-h day of July , 1785 ; that was two years after the subject had been discussed In every shape and form by the people and press of the United States. Congress then , I will say the exact words : 'And on the question Out the money unit ot the United States of America be onu dollar , the yeas and nays being required by Mr. Howell , every member answering ye , It was resolved that the money unit of the United States of America be one dollar. ' "Resolved , That the smallest coin bo of copper , of which 200 shall pass for $1. "Resolved , That the several pieces shall In crease In a decimal ratio. " That was the first action taken by the American congress. They first fixed the unit , the name of the thing that should bi used as the measure of value , deciding that It should be called one dollar , and then the smalleft division of that slioulJ be a half-cent piece ; that It should be copper nnd that It should take 200 of them to rnako the unit. That was the first effort ot the new government to establish a monetary system. Now every one will say that they had uot yet stated at all what the dollar should consist of , except thut 2GO copper half-cents should be one of them , and that as the first unit ot measure that congrcAs established. 20(1 ( half-cent coppers. That Is all the law there has ever been on the subject , and all that has ever been said about It anywhere. ( Applause. ) Now comes the next Important legislation : "Rceolvoil , That 'he standard of the United States of America for gold and silver I'aall be eleven parts fine and olio part alloy. " Orig inally tmt ! was the weight ot alloy In all the coins of the United Stales. Afterward we reduced thu alloy so that It was one part In ten. SILVER IN THE CONSTITUTION. Mr. Harvpy : "As to what Mr. Herr says about copper used as money during the con tinental dt.ys , preceding the adoption ot the constitution , K Is til vial In be ut-ed In .his argument. At the time our constitution was frumej the details governing the concurrent coinage of the t < vo metals In our flnar.clal system WHS u. er discussion In conmlttces and between statesmen of that period. So while these details were left to congress , after the adoption of the cons''tut'on , a bi metallic system w&s prtvld'd for In that con stitution. Vrt'sie 1 , ser.i 11 8 , ys : "Con gress sht'l ' > ave lower r\ > coin money , regu late the value thereof , and of foreign coins. " Section 10 says : "No state shill coin money or make anything but gold and silver coins tender In payment of debts. " It says gold and silver ( applause ) , not gold or silver ( ap plause ) . This Is the constitution. The state ; surrendered to congress the right to sepa rately coin money , but expressly retained the right to the use of stiver and gold as money , neither as token money , one representing the other , as sliver Is now coined , represent ing gold , but bath as money In their own right. ( Applause. ) Congress In good faith with the states has no more right to demone tize one of these miXali- than It has to demone tize both of them without the consent of the states. ( Applause. ) The men who framed this constitution then proceeded to give the con structlon Intended. They gave to both metal ; equal dignity , equal rights , except to rnako the dollar of silver and It the unit ot val le In which the value of gold would be me- - ured , but with concurrent coinage with silver. This Is the exact language of the statute passed by the men who frimcd the constitu tion and knew the construction that It was In tended that It should have. Daniel Wfbster said ( See Congressional Globe , appendix , pages 4 to 6 , Twenty-fourth congress , second session , December 21 , 1836) ) : "Gold and silver are the money of the c r-stUatlon. " ( Ap plause. ) CONGRESS FIXED THE STANDARD. Mr. Herr In 17S7 congress resolved that the standard of the United States of America for gold and silver both together "shall be cloven parts fine and one part alloy ; " thai was precisely as they had decided before that the money of the United States , being by the resolve of congress on the Cth of July 1785 , a dollar , shall consist of fine sliver 375.C4 grains In each silver dollar. That IB the first establishment of what the un' . ' should consist. "Next , that the money of account to correspond with the division of coins , agree able with the above resolvse , proceed In a dec Imal ratio , agreeable to the 'orms nnd man ner following , to-wlt : Don't forget It. ll'ty were organizing a new system of money that had never been known on the face of the globe making money history. " Mr. Harvey Alexander Hamilton recommended mended two units , tine to be riade from gold and one from silver. Mr. Jefferson at onrf t'liie came very near yielding to the argu ments of Mr. Hamilton. What Jplfcrson rec ommended for the unit was adiptcd .i.d the statute so reads and the gold CO'.TIS are valued In that silver unit , and Hamilton's suggestion tor two units , a .jold and a sll vt-r ui.li , was rot accepted by congress am : only a tlher unit was provided for In the act ot 1792. Mr. Herr Now all this talk of Mr. Har vey's Is of very little Importance so far nt I am concerned. What I say Is that when they passed that law they Intended to es tubllsh bimetallism In the United Stales They did fix the silver dollar ab n unit o : value , there Is no doubt about It ; anJ they also fixed of what gold coinage consisted and there were a number of units , on.l ther they defined the ratio between the two metals , consequently when they fixed th ratio at fifteen to one of gold there \\erc two standards a gold standard and a silver standard. We did not use the gold standard at all up to 1834. You can pass u law as tea a standard and the people can annul H In spite of all the statutes In theworld. . The people adopt the currency they wish to use and you cannot legislate them out of the habit either. They undervalued gold. The gold dollar was worth more under the first mintage than the silver dollar , consequently we did have , and he Is right about It , the sliver standard In this country up to 1831 Legally , a man could pay any debt by tender ing the ten units of value In the gild coin but people did not tender It because the sil ver dollar was the cheapest ; they could get ten silver dollars for less labor , less of every thing than they could for gold , consequently the gold left the country. 3ncrease K Sttiart'a Dyspepsia Tablets Increase flesh , hecauao they digest ull wholesome food uiten , no mutter \\ovr \ \ weak the stomnch muy be , and permanently euro clytr pepsin and Indigestion , by glvlnK the overworked Momurh u c'lmnco to rest , the ouly common BCUSQ wuy in which obstinate btornuch troubles may bo cured.
