sherman's Speech on Silver.

Sp6Tu16n . 0p0oSA Oh GA4N0Es
There is no man In the Senate who is bet
ter informed with respect to financial mat
tiers than Senator Sherman, and his speech
on the Stewart silver bill, which be began
TO deliver in the Senate on Tuesday aud
concluded on Wednesday, was listened to
with marked attention by both democratic
and republican senators
Those who have followed the speech
closely must have been surprised at some OF
the historical facts presented. For in
stance, it is being charged continually,
by the advocates of the free coinage of sill
yer, that the decentralization of silver in
1873 was the work of capitalists, who sought
to secure an advantage by that act. SEN
ator Sherman showed that up to 1878 there
had been only ss.Oo0,OOO in silver coined
| from the foundation Of the government,
and that at that date the silver dollar was
practically obsolete, dead and buried. No
body wanted it and its coinage was dropped,
and the trade dollar substituted for it, be-
| cause the people Of California and
other silver-produoing states demanded
the substitution. They wanted to send
their silver product to China in the shape Of
silver dollars. 1t seems, therefore, that
silver was demonetized to satisfy the very
people who are now clamoring for the free
and unlimited coinage Of silver. And why
are they clamoring for IL MOVIE Simply to
get better market for the product Of their
mines. They are willing to have the bust
ness OF the whole country unsettled and
brought to the brink Of ruin in order to
bring about a condition of affairs which
they think will benefit them.
Senator Sherman pointed out that the
passage OF free silver coinage act could
result in only one of two.things. Either it
would bring the whole mass Of silver in the
world-and there are now 4,OO0,000,000
ounces in sight-up to the gold standard
of to l6, or gold in this country would be
demonetized.
But no sane man believes that silver
would be brought up to the gold standard.
That would be an impossibility In the face
of the enormous production of silver and the
vast quantities Of silver in sight. What,
then. would happenl Why. gold would be
driven out Of circulation and this country
would have a silver standards debased
currency. According to Senator Sherman
the assets Of the government at this time
amount to only 1877, OOO. 900, and on that as
basis it would be impossible to maintain
the parity between silver and gold.
Are the countries which have a silver
standard-a debased currency-prosperous
oness There isn't one of them that is not
poverty stricken. And yet there are we'll
meaning people demanding the free and I'M
limited coinage of silver.

A Remarkable Escape.

curious adventure befen Henry @. Perkins
the other day, in which he had a narrow escape
from serious personal injury. says Lord Ran
dolph Churchill in his book, Men, Mines and
Animals in South Africa He and his friends
were examining reef along which a tre nch had
been cut. AT one part OF this trench narrow
shaft had been sunk some six feet IN depth at
the bottom Of which a small tunneling had
been made. Mr.. Perkins was on the point of
jumping down the shaft to examine the reef
when 1t fortunately occurred to him that as the
sides were steep he might have some difficulty
in getting out again 1t was decided to walt
before descending until a rope could be pro
cured. While Mr.. Perkins and his friends were
conversing on the edge of the shaft roar and
rush we're heard, aud out bounded among the
startled party a big leopard, which dashed
through their legs and disappeared into the
bush. This animal had evidently taken up its
abode in the little tunneling at the bottom of
the shaft, and if Mr.. Perkins had Jumped down
as he intended 30 do perfectly unarmed, a ter
rible conflict would probably have taken place
between him and the leopard IN a small con
fined place, from which escape was impossible.
ans Mr.. Perkins would have been very seriously
If not fatally, clawed. Snakes and scorpions
are constantly found in these old workings and
shafts, and explorations and examinations of
mines are not without their own special
dangers.

The River and Harbor Bill.

1t will take very skillful management to
get the river and harbor bill through con-
gress at this session. 1t got through the
House by large majority, and the Senate
passed 1t after tecking on to It a good many
amendments. 1t went bacK 20 the House
in that condition and should have been sent
to conference committee at once. That
was not done, however, because a great
many of its friends being absent, particu-
larly the chairman of the river and harbor
committee who was at home trying to get
himself elected United States senator
its opponents were strong enough
to prevent it from going to such a commit
tee. 1t, therefore. was placed on the calen-
dar, and there is no way to get it into con-
ference except by motion which must
have the support of two-thirds vote.
1t is understood that its friends are going
to ask a suspension Of the rules on Monday
and ask for non-concurrence in the Senate
amendments and reference OF the bill to a
conference committee.
1t will require the vote Of about every
friend of the bill to get it into conference.
and efforts are being made to have all OF it's
friends present. II an effort should be
made to pass it with the amendments it
would have TO run the gauntlet of the com.
mittee Of the whole again, and, as every
amendment would be open to attack, it
might be delayed, and perhaps its passage at
this session defeated. Its friends. there
fore, think it advisable to get it into a con-
ference committee, if they can. just as soon
as possible. If they succeed in doing that
its passage before adjournment will be
aeaurad

Why She Wanted to Go to Mars.

The Great Inter-Planetary TRANSPORTATION
Company had opened its offices for business
and the passengers had begun to arrive at the
station, says the New York Tribune The peo.
pie we're taking these flights through the air TO

were Few "drummers" among them from
business houses more snterprisine than thar
rivals, but the freight rates to the planets are
so high that only the lightest class OF goods can

pleasure, and about their only occupation,
were out in force, as usual. Globe trotters''
they used TO be called, from their proclivities

looking for place to jump of. The Inter

Europe as they did before the days of airships

Physicians Fees.

The leading physicians Of the large cities
place high value upon their services-at
least they charge for their services prices
that ought to enable them to get rich in
very few years If they have good practice.
DR.. Wier Mitchell, OF Philadelphia, came
to this city few days ago to examine and
prescribe for patient, and although he re-
manned but a short time, 1t is said he re-
ceived fee Of 5000. There are compare
lively few men in any Of the professions
who receive that amount OF money in a
year.
On Tuesday in the United States circuit
court for the district of New York suit
brought by DR.. William NJ. Polk against
William B. Lowe. of Atlanta, Ga. was
tried. The basis of the suit was charge of
50 500, for medical services rendered in the
case Of Mr.. loves daughter. 1t seems that
the girl was afflicted with typhoid pneu~
monia, and her mother, who is distantly
related to DR.. Barrow, of New York,
wanted DR.. Barrow summoned. He is the
assistant OF Dr.. Polk, and receives a salary
of SO 200 year. DIR. Barrow was sent for
and was IN Atlanta ten days as a consulting
bulged out considerably when the received
Dr. Folks bill for Dr. Barrow's services,
because he refused to pay it on the ground
that it was exorbitant. The result was
lawsuit.
At the trial quite a number Of New York
physicians were called for the purpose OF
showing the bill was a fair one. DR.. Will
lam B. Anderson said the bill was q just
one and DR.. John F. Wyeth said he would
charge in a similar case $500 day. Dr.
Lomis declared he would have charged $40
an hour and DR.. Virgil P. Gilney said that
S25 an hour was his charge for consultation
services in such cases.
The Atlanta physician who had charge Of
the case said he received only $500 for his
services all told, and gave it as his opinion
that $50 day would be fair compensa-
ton.
These figures relative to the fees Of New
York physicians are interesting because
they indicate that physicians fees in the
large cities have been increasing very
rapidly within the last few years. There
are quite number Of physicians In New
Y ork whom only millionaires can afford to
employ. The big fees of those physicians
will have one good effect probably, and
that is they will make rich people take bet
ter care of their health. because they would
likely be bankrupted if they should become
i'll for any considerable length of time.

Union Railroad Bonds.

A southern railroad has announced that il will

ceptioly gained in the diffusion OF its stock by
having $50 shares. II the shares were 500 and
this paid 81 year, they would be still more

There are five street car lines within a
block of the market leading to the southern
part of the city. With that many lines
there should be a car leaving that neighbor-
hood every few minutes But such is not
the case. 1t seems that all of the cars are
run on the same schedule, and if a person
misses one car, all are missed. Especially is
this true at night, from 9 to u o'clock. If a
belated pedestrian misses a car by two
minutes he must wait twenty-five minutes
before the next car comes along.
