A white Chip for One Hundred Dollars

A White Chip for One Hundred Dollars.
Flood, Fair, Sharon, Hurst and DAILY
happened to spend week or two in
Butte, Mon, some years ago, and as all
of them had taken postgraduate course
in poker in the old days they amused
themselves with the "kyards" in the in
tervals between business. Although
they were all multimillionaires, they
usually played what was for them a
small game, $25 or $50 limit, raising the
jackpots occasionally to 800 to keep
their hands warm Sharon had to meet
a friend one night, and when he arrived
at the room where "the boys" were play
ing the game was two or three hours oldI
He walked in aud said good evening.
A play was on and the only responses
were grunts.
"Any objection to my coming inT'
asked Sharon with good natured smile
"Course not" said Flood, who was
banker.
Sharon threw a 800 bill on the table
and turned to the wall to hang up his
overcoat. He took his seat and seemed
surprised to see the others staring at
each other and then at him.
Whats the matter2" he asked. Don't
you want me to play2'
"Oh, yes, yes" replied DAILY.
"Well, there's my hundred"
"All right" said DAILY, with some hest
tation. "Flood, give him white chip. y

Protests Of Oystermen.

Tho DISPATCH has a number Oh commu-
nications from residents OF the oyster
country complaining of this, that, and the
other provision of the WAsHIS0roS-CHAx-
BERs bill.
It'll useless 10 publish them nov. In
the first place the session of the General
Assembly is drawing 20 q close; in the
second, none OF the writers seem to under
stand the situation. and few Of them have
read the bill which they desire to criticise.
Our Underwater friends NAV take our
word for it that their representatives In
the two houses have made the best posi-
be terms for them. They had the alter
native Of coming together and framing
bill, or standing apart and seeing that
work done by the up-country men. They
wisely chose TO frame bill themselyes-
tho WAssIsGIoN-C HAMDERs blll-Uhich IS
essentially a compromise measure. NOW
IT is expected OF the oystermen that they
will give it fair and square trial. What
ever defects exist in details. we know.
will be cheeriully corrected at future
legislative sessions. But Its chief features
are in the nature of an agreement with
the up-country members and will have to
stand for years 70 come.
Wesay to all Of our dissatisfied Underwater
friends withhold your judgment until your
representatives in the General Assembly
return home from Richmond. and then call
upon them for explanations Of the bill. BY
so doing you win get a correct view OF the
subject, and have your minds disabused OF
many erroneous impressions.

But the India movement recorded IN our

rates OF exchange between London and
India except tho establishment oy in
ternational agreement of system OF free
coinage Of bon gold and s'lusr at fixed rates
or the adoption Of q gold standard by
India II this latter be adopted as the
government policy in India 1t will soon re-
suit in free coinage. SO that there will be
free coinage whether the ono or the other
policy be resorted TO. England cannot
much longer support successfully the
present system Of exchange between Lon
don and India. The home people could
stand II Indefinitely, but India could not.
