COLONEL Robert G. INGERsoLL Is re-
ported in an interview as saying about
silver legislation:
am silver man. believe in gold
and silver and free coinage. / want q
dollars worth of silver in silver dollar,
and then the more silver dollars we have
the better. Gold is the money OF the
creditor; the debtor wants silver, and
want both.
The Colonel should explain why gold
would be the money of the creditor and
silver of the debtor if the bullion in a
gold dollar and the bullion in silver
dollar were equal the one to the other?
What difference would or could It make
TO the creditor what he was paid in or to
the debtor what he paid with so long
as the bullion values of the gold
and silver dollars were the same?
Yet this is what he means, if
he mean anything, when he says he
wants dollars worth of silver in
silver dollar" That is, the silver bull
lion in silver dollar must be worth the
same as the gold bullion in gold dollar.
Now If it be true that gold is the money
of the creditor while the debtor wants
silver, as the Colonel says, it can only be
because there is n difference in the values
OF the two dollars. In such case the cred
itor would demand the dearer, while the
debtor would insist on paying with the
cheaper. But If they were of the same
value IL would of course make no differ
ence to either creditor or debtor whether
the debt was discharged in the yellow or
the white metal.
II looks little as though the Colonel
has expressed himself loosely. In fact,
we are inclined to set the remarks quoted
down as among Bob's blunders.

fore the opening picture Of the entire

The JahrmarISt Mt the Light Infautry
Armory.
The opening of the Jahrmarlt tonight
at the Washington Light Infantry Ar
mory promises to be a grand one and
every detail has been arranged to make
every visitor feel that it was good to be
there. The programme for tonight is an
interesting one, and no one can help
but enjoy it. Besides that, the pro-
coeds are TO be devoted to the building
fund of the Concordia Church, corner
Twentieth and @ streets. A programme
will be. presented each night which will
make all feel that they have been doubly
repaid for the price Of admission.
The Jahrmarkt continues until the
evening of the 14th, and season tickets
have been placed at the very low price of
fifty cents. An evening can be spent
pleasantly, and at the same time aid q
worthy cause.
The Original Jubilee Singers.
This famous organization will give one
Of their unique concerts tomorrow Tues

occasion of their last visit, October 0, the
Hall was crowded with our best people,
and the enthusiasm was so great as to
compel the singers to double their pro-
gramme, giving twenty-eight selections
| instead of fourteen. No one who has not
| heard them can form any idea of the
effect of these wild. weird slave songs
upon an audience as they sing them. The
sale of seats indicates that they will have
q large audience to greet them. Seats at

The chief opposition to Mr.. CLEVELAND
comes from the strong anti-silver views

this he would probably have had a hun

However, Texas can be counted on for

In ANOTHER COLUMN or THE CRITIo Is

panies with the sage observation that sit
is mean thing for man to so 10 heaven

said it or not, it is a just remark. Every
man owes IL to his family TO make what
provision he can for them in case of his
sudden death, and in providing for that
sad contingency by life insurance the
National Life-Maturity presents its claims
and several attractive features, combining
the best provisions of othercompanies. 1t
is home concern, conducted by men who
enjoy the confidence OF the people Of
Washington. This company has been
doing business here for about eight years,
and announces that in that time ii has
paid to its policy-holders about a million
and quarter of dollars.

The Flattering Name Once Applied to the
City of Lima.
Lima has been called the Pearl of the
Pacific and other fattering names. In
the old days of the Viceroys it was be-
yond doubt the finest, as it was the
richest, city in New Spain; but now it is
sadly sullied pearl, a moribund and inert
place, where every thing bears witness
to decadence, poverty, and almost de-
spair. The streets swarm with beggars,
and the majority of the one hundred
thousand inhabitants Of the capital live
in an INDECENT primitive and thorough
~ unhygienic manner, which wouN be
uncomfortable were it not for the elem
ency of the climate, which enervates
and, conduces't to q languid and indolent

and the story he tells OF his unhappy
country is sad one.

said, twas the constitutional govern

Intion was the close alliance between
the foreign capitalists aad the UNBOUND,
ed ambition of men who are asphyxlateo
in an atmosphere OF pure government.
The Government had about 10000 men
against II, 600 of the opposition, LED "
well disciplined and brave leaders.
Foremost among these was Emil kor-
ner. paid by the government he
was traitor to. At Placilla and
Nina Delmar, both near Valpa-
raiso. the iercest struggle took
Mace. But before these battles were
fought the spirit OF traitorism was
spreading among the soldiers. One-halI
Of the government troops fought des-
perateiy, while the other half did not
fire a single gun. All the property OF
the opposers of the revolution was con-
fscated, thus adding materially to the
fortunes of the defenders Of the regen-
Grafton of Chile. Balmaceda was
noble soul, and in preference to causing
further trouble and bloodShed, he pre-
ferred to die free man before becom-
ing the prey of crowd OF drunken, ruff
