Chicago, Aug. 1.—''I will never
a{»ain !>e connected with any or-
ganization or strike," said Presi-
dent Debs today. "This strike
has developed the fact that the
sentiment of the people of the
country is against strikes, and the
goverment stands ready to put
down such a movement at the
point of the bayonet. I shall here-
after advise all workingmen to
seek redress by the ballot."
Debs arrived from Terre Haute
this morning and was met at the
depot by a committee from the
American Railway union. He
went immediately to Ulrich's hall,
where a diiectory meeting was
held and arrangements made for
the convention tomorrow.

Tlie Imperfrrt («oM Coin B<'cau»e of Which
a Texaii \Ya* Imprisoned.
That was an interesting and instruct-
ive little paragraph in The Star which
told the story of a $5 goldpiece, sus
pee ted of being counterfeit, which was
sent to the director of tho mint by a
special inspector of customs at El Paso.
The piece was defective, and upon its
appearance a man was arrested at El
Paso and charged with the circulation
of counterfeit coin.
"Director Preston," says Tho Star's
report, "observed that the coin lacked
sonority, and from its general appear-
ance suspected that, owing to too rapid
rolling of tlfc gold strips preparatory to
cutting the planchettes, an air bubble or
blister was formed just at the spot in
tho strip from which the coin was cnt.''
Very little investigation showed the
diagnosis of the director to be correct,
and it was then stated that "these slight
imperfections occur occasionally, espe-
cially when the strips are rolled rap-
idly."
The explanation will doubtless be re-
garded as perfectly satisfactory by
thoughtless folk and will be greeted
with delight by the unfortunate person
who has been held in custody at El
Paso, and who has suffered much indig-
nity and real injury because there was
carelessness in the mawing of the coin.
The matter, however, is one of more
than little interest, for no one knows
whose turn it will next be to bo arrested
on account of the overhaste or lack of
skill of a government employee in one
of the mints. Why should the rolling be
done "too rapidly?" Everybody knows
all about the extreme poverty of the gov-
ernment, but the republic is certainly
rich enough to make its money resem
ble so nearly a given standard that 11 a
one will be jailed for attempting to put
it to legitimate use.—Washington Star.
