TIE SILVER QUESTION As IRIS.

f. 0. Leech, director of the mint,
in the North American Review for
March, has an interesting article on
silver
The present law (Act Of July "A,
1890, he says, requires the purchase,
monthly, at the market price, OF four
and t half million ounces OF silver,
of which two million ounces shall he
coined, monthly, for the period OF
one year, into silver dollars. Alter
that date only such silver dollars need
be coined as may be required2fo the
redemption Of the treasury notes is.
sued in payment for the silver pur-
chased. The silver dollars coined
under these various acts since 1878,
although not containing a dollars
worth Of silver, have been maintained
in domestic circulation at par, with
gold By causes not necessary new to
be considered. The silver question,
as it now presents itself, mems ''tree
coinage of silver in the United
States concurrently with the free
coinage of gold, ct the ratio in coin
aye one to sixteen exactly l to
l5.9o6) that is that individuals may
take silver Of any kind or description
to the mints, and have every BIZ
grains stamped, free OF charge, into a
dollar, which dollar shall be a full
legal tender, for its face value, in the
payment Of debts and Obligations of
all kinds in the United States. This
is the right as to goId--why not as to
silver? There is an important differ
ence. The minting of gold add.
nothing to the value of the metal
contained in the coin. 1t is simply a
certificate to the public OF the weight
and purity OF the piece. As a mat
ter OF fact, fine gold bars sell in New
York at a slight premium above full,
weight gold coin, being preferred for
shipment and industrial uses. How
is it with silver? The commercial, Oh
bullion, value of the silver contained
IN the silver dollar is to>day 80. Here
then, is au important difference wbicl
did not exist prior to 1873, when We
had free coinage of silver. In this
difference lies the whole difficulty
Can it be overcome?

REPRESENTATIVE DoCKERY, of
Missouri, estimates that the United
States Treasury deficit on July LIST,
1892, will be 68,089,GSS. This is
due to the recklessness OF the "busi,
ness Congress just adjourned. That
figure may be swollen to s7j, 900, 900
by the fact that some S6,718,372 of
the 4! per cents, falling due Septem-
Der 1st next, will have to be paid out
of current revenues. President Cleve,
land left to the Fitty-First Congress
a legacy of over$lO0, 100000. New
ertheless, the Fifty-First Congress

chasm in the treasury OF almost equal
proportions. 1t was the Republicans

STABBING AFFAIR SMITHyILLE.
A DISAGREEMENT BETWEEN TWO CtT1-
ZENs RESULTS IN ONE OF THEM
BEING STABBED.


BEING STABBED.
Smithville had cutting affair
about 2 o'clock Thursday afternoon,
in which Mr.. Alb. Atkins was seli.
onsly stabbed by Mr.. G. G. Ansley.
The knife entered Atkins body lust
over the heart, but was prevented
from reaching that vital organ by the
interpositiOu of a rib that was struck.
For short time after the wound was
inflicted Atkins chances for recovery
were considered quite slim, but yes
terday evening he was doing well, and
his physicians were hopeful OF his re-
covery.
From parties in the city yesterday
the News and Advertiser secured two
statements concerning the origin of
the difficulty.
The first was to the effect that At
kins, who is close neighbOr of Ans,
ley, had been playing "Peeping Tom"
en- the latter's domestic affairs. and
was discovered for the second time
while engaged in this diSreputable
practice.
The other statement was that the
trouble occurred over a transaction
concerning some draying done by
Ansley for third party.
The News and Advertiser could not
verify either statement, but ct any
rate The alteration was brought to a
sudden termination by Atkins giving
Ansley the d-n lie, which was
promptly resented with knife thrust.
Ansley is one of the leading cit
zens of Smithvile. and a pillar of
the Methodist church.
The unfortunate affair is greatly
deplored by the entire community

ONE thing Georgia needs, and needs
badly, is good country roads. The
benefits to be drived from them are
bit imperfectly understood by the
great mass of our people. Good
roads mean everything to a commu-
nifty, and it has been aptly said that
in the agricultural localities they mean
the difference between prosperity aud
adversely; in towns they mean the diff
ference between growth and stagna-
ton.

SENATORS 81 POPULAR VOTE.

So far as the idea of nominating
candidates for the United States sen.
ate by the popular voice has recently
acquired practical form, the demo,
Gratis are entitled to the credit of tax
ing the lead, says the Philadelphia
Times. The nomination of Palmer
in Illinois and the recommendation OF
the recent Rhode Island democratic
state convention that in future all
such nominations in that state be
made by the state convention, have
blazcd the way for democrats in every
state to adopt the method.
The sentiment in favor of the elec-
ton of United States senators by pop
ular vote has been steadily growing
for a generation. In the pathway OF
this growing sentiment has stood the
mandate of the constitution requiring
that senators be'elected by the state
legislatures. Up to this time the in
telligent advocates Of the change have
been discouraged by the difficulty Of
securing the desired amendment to the
fundamental law which would allow
the proposed reform to be carried
into effected. The example of the
Illinoise democrats in making John
NJ. Palmer the party candidate has
pointed out way by which the choice
of a senator can he made in some
measure to reflect the popular will
without a constitutional amendment.
A committee of colored politicians
has called on President Harrison to
urge him to appoint representatives
OF their race on the Columbian
Worlds Fair Commission, and also
the placing of some negro lawyers on
the bench of the Federal judiciary.

no vacancies On the Worlds Fair
Commission, and that he would cons
sider their request in his selection of
Judges provided they could point out

There can be no antagonism between
