A Word to Southern Congressman.

A Word to Southern Congressman.
Before Southern Congressman commit
themselves In favor Of a continued COIN
age Of silver dollars, they ought to satisfy
themselves that such coinage would bsne-
bit their section. They ought not to allow
themselves to be influenced BY the state
ment that the more silver there Is coined
the easier Will it be to pay debts. The
purchasing power Of silver will certainly
decrease in proportion as the volume Of
silver dollars increases, and just now it
looks as If the prospect OF more silver
money was the cause of the present wide
spread business depression. The New
York Financial Chronicle in its comments
on Senator Beck's silver speech says:
''He Beck must see, however-for who
does not now?-that the country is suffer-
Ing in very many ways, and the farming
interests North and South most OF all. by
this silver infatuation. Cotton selling
at sd. 1.-THE lowest point it has reached
since 1861, and pretty sure TO 20 even
lower if silver coinage is not soon sus-
pended, is point ne will one of these
days have to settle with his southern con-
stituents. Perhaps Kentucky constitu-
ency can be fooled with the stock argu-
ment that it is all the gold bugs and
'bondholders'' work, though by the time
the Senator's reelection comes around,
should there be no repeal, we cannot but
think that the condition of things will he
pretty sure to reveal the truth to a por-
tion OF them at least"

SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS: THURSDAY DECEMBER 81, 1885
why Mr.. BigeIow Declined an once.

( W by Mr.. BiSeloW Declined an ONCE.
4 The country had about forgotten that
there was such a man as Mr.. John Bige-
low until be was appointed to the very
lucrative ONCE OF Assistant United States
Treasurer at New York, and it would
Z soon have forgotten MS existence again II
1t had not been that he declined the place.
Great curiosity has been awakened as
to why he declined it. Many very foolish
suggestions have been made with regard
10 his reasons. none Of which, perhaps,
has any foundation.
Perhaps tue most foolish Of all the sug-
gestions was that, being Mr.. Tllden's
friend, he had declined 70 have anything
10 do with The administration because Mr..
Iildsn had no respect FOR it.
Another equally foolish suggestion was
that Mr.. Tilden had urged Mr.. Bigelow
for Cabinet place, and Mr.. Bigelow
thought II beneath bis dignity TO accept
any less important place.
As matter Of fact Mr.. Tildsn has
very high regard for Mr.. Cleveland and
bis administration, and it is extremely
doubtful if he ever urged Mr.. Bigelow
for place in the Cabinet.
Mr.. Bigelow's letter declining the New
York sub-Treasurership, has not been
given out for publication. so the Secretary
OF the Treasury says, simply because it is
a long, prOsy document. which contains
nothing OF public interest. He didn't
wait the Office because ne mas an ample
fortune and did not feel like accepting
great responsibility TO which no particu-
Tor honor is attached for the sake of a
salary which he didn't need. That is
about the whole story.

exquisite figure. She is an heress in her own
right, and will inherit two more fortunes
on the death OF her father and mother, for she
is an only child. Although so desirable
match. she is so independent that no young
man in Chicago has yet had the courage ito
face the music" She lives with her parents
on Dearborn avenue, but pays her third of the
houf ehOld expenses, and keeps her own
carriages aud horses. She IS occasionally seen
driving tandem on the avenue in her dog cart,
with dllninutive tiger" behind. She is ais
q good horseback rider and q great pc lee
TRAN. In her walks she is usually accom-
panied by a large and handsome Gordon
setter She is Q faithful attendant at St
James church, where her father is a vestry-
man. In the sunday school she has class Of
large boys in whom she takes great interest.
Once wear she gives them a dinner. and
whom any one OF them gets old enough TO
start in business she makes it point to secure
q place for HIM.
