The Silver Market Not to BE "Ieated -

WASHINGTON, September 90th.-Refer-
enee was made in these dispatches last
evening to discontinue az once by Secre-
tary WINDOW of the custom of MAKING.
counter offers by the Treaoary in the pur-
chase OF silver for use in the-Mints.
This custom was introduces by Treasurer
Jordan, who was unfriendly 30 the silver
interest, for the purpose of keeping the
market prices as low as possible.
The law provides for purchase of a GER
tain amount of silver during the wear at
prices not exceeding the market price AZ
the time oftbe purchase. The Director of
the Mint receives every day cable from
London giving the market price of silver
there, and from that is figured out the
parity. For instance the parity by the last
report is SO 60, and no price above that can
be paid unless there is an increase in the
market value. Offers of silver are received
twice week by the Mint, any of which
may be accepted if the price asked is NOT
more than the parity.
Jordan, in order to get silver at the lowest
possible price, inaugurated the custom of
making the counter offer lower than the
price asked.
Under the present administration of the
Department il is held to be the duty of the
Government to purchase at the lowest price
offered IN accordance with the law, and
then if it appears there is any combination
of silver to bull the market for the purpose
OF getting an unusually high price from
the Government for their silver. the De-
partment may decline to purchase at the
time, or go to San Francisco or London to
purchase
It is held that it is not proper for the
Treasury Department to go at it systematic
ally to F." bear the silver market. Upon
this theory Secretary Window has gone
back to the old way of accepting offers
without any dickering by counter offers.

charge of forging $500 check on Arthur
Gorham, q wealthy Kansas City gentleman.
Williams nursed Gorham through serious
illness, and the latter, in gratitude, adopted
Williams as a protege, and allowed him to
draw money as he desired. Too expensive
habits led to the extravagant use of this
privilege, and the old man repudiated him.
Williams continued to draw checks, how
ever, hence the suit. The verdict causes
much surprise.
