THE ECONOMIST ON SILVER.
- The Economist says: Investment in bust.
ness is much checked by political uncer-
tainty. A further relapse in United
States bonds accompanies an increased
belief in the probability OF the Legisla-
ture establishing silver at par. We note,
however, a feeling that some moditicatory
measures will be taken (but OF what form
nobody can profess TO foretell), which
will prevent any further material decline.
The adoption Of silver currency would
probably Though we forbear TO speak
with any certainty upon that point, by
raising the value Of silver, compensate in
another way. We hear it gravely re-
marked that no matter what the United
States does In the way OF adopting silver
instead Of gold dollars for the payment
OF the coupons on its bonds, the balance
Of trade favorable TO America, would
prevent loss to the bondbolder, just as the
foreign holder Of the French rente re-
ceiyes his interest in full equivalent Of
gold.
"But in the frat place the adoption OF
such plan would cause 80 large an i'm
mediate selling Of United States stock
that the National balance Of Indebtedness
would almost OF necessity be against that
country; and, further, the parallel is In
complete, for in France an artificial value
is given 10 silver by limit put upon its
coinage, and no one can say that in Amer
lea limit OF the kind will be put into
operation. The resolutions in favor Of
silver currency, although distinctly af-
iecting Government bonds, have failed to
produce much movement in the price Of
silver. We presume the market ia to
some extent kept down because the Ger
man Government is known TO have a
large remainder Of silver yet to dispose
Of, and the feeling is that rise in the
price would Immediately bring out the
supplies. 1t may be noticed that after
some years OF cheap silver without ap.
parent effect upon silver and plated
wares, reductions are here and there ad.
verified and allowed by manufacturers"

SAD CASE OF DROWNING. :.

Two sons of William A. Cox, of Caroline

last in the Choptank river. In the after
noon of that day Mr.. Cox's four sons, VIM.
E., 25 years OLD; Daniel, % years; Jerome,
16 years, and John W., Il years old, went
to the river in boat to Sathe. They an
chored the boat at the edge Of the flats,
stripped off their clothes and jumped into
the water. The wind blew the boat around
over the deep water OF the channel, and
when they were done bathing, the youngest
boy, John, undertook to swim out to the
boat but before he reached 1t he gave out
and began to struggle and sink. The Oldest
boy William at once rushed to the rescue of
his sinking brother, but as soon as he
reached the deep water at the edge of the
channel, he, too, commenced to struggle and
sink. Both were drowned. Jerome, seeing
the danger, went to the relief of William
before be sank, and he too, com
menced to drown as soon as he reached
water over his head. Daniel went to his
relief, and fortunately got hold of and res
cued him before he reached water over his
head, and thus the last two were saved.
The bodies were recovered. .:h ss,g

3 SPEAKER RANDALL.

Mr.. Randall received quite favorable re
tception In both Philadelphia and New York,
and may now be looked upon as man Of
Presidential stature. His views upon Ameri.
can industry will place him high in the
esteem Of the people. A statesman who
has courrge enough to say publicly that he
"alwsys set dowE man who talked to him
of free trade as being either ignorant or .
dcceiver," is worthy Of . place in popular
affection. Mr.. Randall has been many
years in Congress with opportunities to
make millions, and to-day bis greatest
pride is his poverty. Unscathed he has
passed through temptations, such as few
public men have been subjected to- We, OF
our own knowledge, know that little by
he has been paying debts which have
burthened him since his withdrawal from
business. In those days of corruption we
need such men as Samuel j. Randall, and
we are conscious that he will meet fitting
reward. Courage, honesty, patriotism are
the triple virtue of the man. WI
