IRE strongest argument of the anti silver men against the further coinage of silver dollars is. that the bulk of the silver, instead of going into cir culation, remains stored in the vaults of the United States treasury. This was the Presidents argument in hls message when he recommended the discontiuuance of silver coinage. Now, since the present secretary of of the treasury came into office, he has neglected to comply with the law which compels him to reduce the na, tlonal debt at least one per centum duiing the fiscal year. The fiscal year commenced on the first of July last, and the one per cent reduction made compulsory by Congress, amounts in round numbers to about Sac, 900, 900. Why should not this amount, or part of it, have been paid out of thi; silver in the treasury vaults which seems to be the bugbear of the present administration Because Secretary Manning is hostile to ex- tending the circulation of silver
 There are now about $50, 1000, 900 of gold in the treasury, but by using this, the Secretary would diminish his gold surplus, and that would perhaps com pei him to use silver for other pay
 ments, which could not be postponed. The more silver that the secretary of the treasury can hoard, the stronger will be the cry of the monometalists against its further coinage.

HARDWOOD SEMINARY.

The subscribers to the female seminary
fund, at their meeting at the Court House
last Friday night, after calling w. P. Nc
CATCHY to the Chair, and Enoeh Faw.
Secretary, had two propositions sub
mitted TO their consideration to locate the
school. The A. W. York house and lot on
Atlanta street for 81, 500 and the A Howell
house and lot on Kennesaw Avenue for 81
900, the balance of the money being guaran-
teed on the selection of either place. A
vote was taken, and the Howell property
was selected by majority OF the stock.
The building is a large two-story brick struc-
ture, and can be very easily adapted to the
purpose. 1t has twelve rooms and occupies
a commanding view of Railroad travel Mr..
Howell will give possession by January or
February. Our citizens were divided as to
locality, but now that the question is settled,
bet all be united in the one purpose of max
ing the college success. Let us work for
it, talk for IT and patronize it. The school
will be properly equipped and the best
teachers employed. Marietta is unsurpass-
ed in natural advantages, and this fact gives
the town superiority over other places as an
educational center. We have first class
male academy and now with this provision
tor first class female seminary, Marietta
can offer school facilities that will be invi-
ting to all who have children to educate.
Let all work together in promoting the
prosperity of our schools.

DEATH OF COL. p. W. ALEXANDER

This distinguished Georgian died at his
home in this place on last Thursday night,
after several months of painful illness, of
diseased kidneys, which several surgical ope-
rations failed TO relieve or effect cure. He
was conscious of the impending dissolution
of soul and body and made every prehmna.
ry preparation, to that end, and when the
dread summons came he passed calmly and
peacefully away, surrounded by his wife and
children and several friends.
His remains were taken to Columbus. Ga.
his old home, for interment The funeral
services were conducted at the Episcopal
church, in that place Saturday morning.
Rev. DR.. Hunter officiating.
Col Alexander was born in Ebert county
about 68 years ago. He was graduate of
the State University, and among his class
mates were Benjamin H Hill Gustavus Orr,
Judge Bartlett and Richard H. Walker.
After his graduation he studied law and was
admitted to the bar and began his practice
IN Ihomaston. He was strong wing and
and upheld his party strongly He was
rendered and accepted the editorship of the
Savannah Republican and filed that posi-
ton ably and web until 1857 when he re-
turned to the practice of law He was op-
posed to secession and as delegate to the
secession convention did all in his power to
avert the disruption of the union. He went
into the war with his people and did good
service. As the war correspondent under
the signature of 'P W. A." he made
great reputation. His letters to the Savan-
nah Republican were graphic, correct and
| reliable. His fame in this line of work
survived the war and brought him in cores
pondence with many historians to whom he
gave much valuable information of those
perilous times
When the war ended, he formed part
nership in the practice of law with James
NJ. Smith in Columbus.
In 1869 he was married to Miss Theresa
Shorter, of Columbus, who, with three chill
dren, two boys and one girl, survive him.
When Governor Smith entered upon the
duties Of State Executive, he rendered Col.
Alexander the Attorney Generalship, which
he declined, prefering the position of pri-
vate Secretary to the Governor, which he
filed for five years, when he moved with his
family to Marietta and located In 1894 he
purchased an interest in the Macon Tele-
graph and became editor in chief Of that
paper, and subsequently he sold his interest
and returned to Marietta, where he devoted
his time in quiet pursuits Of home life and
literature until the fatal disease Frustrated
him and finally resulted in his death.
Col. Alexander was gentleman of great
intellectual power and culture, man of de-
cided opinions, but conservative and liberal
in differing with others. Gentlemanly, alta,
Bile and kind, his society was always pleas
ant and edifying. In his death the State
and our city has lost pure, upright and
useful citizen. We deeply sympathise with
his bereaved family in this dark hour Of
their sorrow
