Shall We Borrow Gold to Buy SilverP
From NetO York Journal of Commerce CI,d }.


The supply OF gold in the United States
treasury over and above the reserve fund has
been diminishing, and several efforts have besn
made 10 increase it. The first of these was
directed TO the receipts for customs and i'm
porters v ere urged to raw the duties Ia gold or
gold certificates. AS this did not suffice she
banks OF this city were appealed to and a num-
Der OF them responded cheerfully, exchanging
portion of their metallic treasure for the
paper held In the treasury. This has gone but
a little way toward offsetting the drain caused
by the demand for export and it is seriously
proposed to issue United States bonds be airing
the lowest rate o. interest at which they can be
negotiated tie proc eds to be expended for
the metallic accumulation 80 much desired.
This brings the whole country to faca the
question at issue. Shall we borrow gold for
the sake of buying the output Ut our silver
mines! What obligation rests upon the people
to provide a market for that metal? Is more
currency needed for the proper management of
businessf This has been answered in the mega
tive by every thoughtful man who is familiar
with financial affairs; but If large monetary
circulation is needed, or woul1 add TO the
general prosperity. il can be supplied at much
less cost than to buy up the basis by the issue
OF interest bearing bonds The repeal of the
tax on the state bank notes would do 1t IN the
best possible manner, giving a flexible or

the government greenbacks Or IL that cannot

creasiug the issue Of the tso-calledl national
banks, with ample protection TO the public.

There Is very general regret that DR..
Duncan declined to withdraw his Resigns

people know his worth and that is why he
received 80 large a vote His letter to the

his decision in the matter is an admirable one,
showing, as it does. the genuineness of the
man. He harbors no ill-will for anything

Two other prophets have been added to
the prolific crop Kansas has been harvest
ing recently. They are little different
from the Simpsonian line Of prophets, who
predict a legisIature-msde paradise out
west as soon as the populists gain control OF
the general government These new fel-
lows hold that il is no longer necessary to
dig and delve; that "the Lord VIII provide"
in short, that the millennial period has al
ready set in. Judging by the reports from
Kansas published yesterday, the brothers
Deem have mistaken the identity Of the
thing that has broken loose in Kansas.
There is legend TO the effect that the
same thing once broke loose in Georgia.

Congressman Houk, OF Ohio, thinks he
has solved the worlds fair Sunday opening
problem, and will submit bill embody ing
his ideas TO the House. He proposes to
please Senator Quay aud other religious
people by keeping the fair shut all Sunday
morning and to tickle the other party by
opening it in the afternoon. Splitting the
difference" is we'll enough in horse trade,
but it is doubtful II the Sunday closing peo-
pie would accept such a compromise in this
matter. IL is almost certain that Senator
Quay would not He has apparently
started out to build himself reputation as

idea of Quay as a religious defender is
ridiculous. But that is the position he oc-

The western millers have formed -four
trust. The western millers are the
champions Of the anti-options bill. With
the Anti-options bill law only bona flde
owners could sell wheat, and only bona fide
purchasers would buy. The sellers would
be limited 10 the farmers and the buyers to
the milIers. The millers would control the
market, paying whatever they pleased.
Being banded together in a trust, one miller
would not pay l mill more per bushel than
another, and farmers would have to take
whatever they were offered for their grain.
That is what the millers have been after all
the time,

The swell set" in Nav York society is
still in exasperating doubt as to the future
of grand opera there. The Metropolitan
opera house, which Mr.. Henry Clews and
others proposed to make the home of grand
opera the coming season, has been sold
Mr.. Clews is still at work to raise his 81. 800,
600 opera syndicate, and il he succeeds the
house may yet be secured. Mr.. Clews
thinks one reason why the rich people of
New York are so slow about putting up
money to provide themselves grand opera is
that they have discovered that it is cheaper
TO go to Europe in the early spring. where
they can bear good opera and also enjoy the
London season. t

It was given out shortly after the death
of President Norvin Green that Mr. Thomas
T. Eckert, general manager Of the Western
Union Telegraph Company, would prob
ably succeed to the presidency. There seems
to be some doubt about this now. George
Gould is said to be ambitious in that direc-
ton, and if he really is he is In position
to crafty himself. Mr.. Eckert was one of
Jay Gould's most intimate friends. and the
story is told that one reason Mr.. Gould ac-
quired controlling interest in the Western
Union was that he might give him good
position. But Jay Gould is dead, and
George, if he is like his father was, is not
apt to consider other peoples friendships
when his own ambition is IN the question.

The good people Of Fernaudina are divided
into factions because of recently enacted
city law forbidding owners Of chickens,
ducks and geese to let them run at large in
the street. Ten dollars is the fine the ordi-
nance says shall be imposed upon the owner
of each prescribed fowl found at large in
the clty's thorouRhfares or in neighbours
garden. The owners of gardens and no
geese think the law is just and righteous,
and the owners Of geese and no gardens are
sure that their inalienable rights have been
encroached upon. Several years ago. 1t will
be remembered, almost a similar state of
public feeling existed In this city. when the
goat law went into effect.

At a town election at East Syracuse, N.
Y, this week the Myers voting machine
was tested. All the voters had to do was
press a series of buttons; the machine did
the rest. More than 900 votes were cast,
and the general verdict was that machine
elections were a decided success. IL was
claimed for the machine that it would not
let a man vote crooked, even if he wished
to. 1t must have been filed to the top with

Eas Gresham Joined the Party


The New York Sun calls attention to,
and comments on, the fact that II Judge
Gresham should become Mr.. Clevelands
Secretary Of State there would be only two
lives between him and the presidency :,
those OF Mr.. Cleveland and Mr. Stevenson.
While there is no reason now to think that
mr.. Cleveland and MIR. Stevenson will not
live out the term for which they have been
elected, still there is a chance that they may
not.
II both should die the Secretary Of State
would become President
And the question arises, is Judge Gresham
in full sympathy with the Democratic
partyl Is he such democrat as the great
majority Of the Democratic party would like
to see in the white housel
Attention is called TO Judge Gresham's
statement Of his political beliefs made in
the latter part Of last October in letter to
Hon. Bluford Wilson. In that letter he said
he had been republican all his life, that he
agreed with Mr.. Cleveland's tariff views in
the main and that he thought republican
could vote for Mr.. Cleveland without
joining the Democratic party"
Has Judge Gresham Joined the Demo-
cratic party since that letter to Mr.. Wilson
was written? There is no evidence that he
has so far as the public knows The infer
ence, however, is that he has. He thought
q republican could vote for Mr.. Cleveland
without joining the Democratic party"
but 1t is hardly probable he thinks a repub-
lican could accept the premiership of a
democratic administration without joining
the Democratic party. Still, it would be In
teresting TO hear what Judge Gresham has
to say on this point

The New York Press furnishes this bit of
cabinet gossip; at is said that MIR. Willard
is responsible for the selection OF Mr.. Hoke
Smith, of Georgia, for Secretary of the In
terror" Why Mr.. Willard should wish to
have friend of his in the interior depart
mant would remain a matter Of conjecture
did not the Press furnish this explanation
20 fit the case: Henry Willard, ID is
whispered in political circles, will be the
next United States minister TO Berlin. Ac-
cording to the gossip in the inner circle Mr..
Willard is said to have two reasons for desr-
ing the mission. The Northern Pacific rail-
road and its allied companies, Of some Of
which Mr.. Willard is president and of others
chairman or director, owns $4,000 900 OF
acres under the control Of this corporation,
II German emigrants can be induced 10
locate on these lands it will materially en-
hance the value of Mr.. Wizards holdings
With Mr.. Willard as minister to
Berlin and friendly Secretary of the In-
terror at Washington, many large Ameri-
can investments OF the brilliant Spectator
will prosper" The implication is slanderous.
Mr.. Cleveland is the man who is making up
the cabinet, not Hehry Willard, and he
offered Mr.. Hoke Smith position because
he was convinced OF his fitness for the place.
Mr. Cleveland's cabinet will not be used by
anybody as a means to further land schemes.

Death Of col. Henry Il. Jones.

The MORNING NEWS has already an
nounced the death Of Col. Henry H. Jones,
Of Macon. which took place at his residence
in Vlneville, near that city. on last Mon
day. Col Jones was known throughout
the state az one Of its bravsst and most
sterling citizens He was born in Liberty
county. where he lived on his plantation
until the late war. He came from old revo-
lutionary stock, his grandfather. Col. Jones
having been killed in the attack on this city,
Oct, 8, 1779, the day that Pulaski and
Jasper fell. his memory is perpetuated In
the history of the city by Jones street, one
of our most beautiful avenues.
Col. Jones was the worthy son OF such q
grand sire. AT the close of the late war he
became a merchant and planter In Randolph
county aud soon after entered Journalism as
the editor and proprietor Of the Cuthbert
Appeal. His education and natural ability
as an observer Of men and events soon
brought him into notice as journalist, and
he reno ved to Macon and became one of
the editors and proprietors Of the Telegraph.
When that paper changed hands he became
connected with the MORNING NEWS as its
travelling correspondent and agent, and held
that position for several years, though still
conducting a farm in Bib county.
He served during the war on Gov
Browns staff, and was a participant as q
volunteer aid in a number Of battles In this
state.
No drawer nor more honorable nor
courteous gentleman ever lived than Col.
Jones. He was the soul of honor, and a
friend who never failed in his devotion.
He was of that old Presbyterian stock of
which Liberty county is so proud, and his
faith lasted unto the eud.
