Rritish and German Opinion.

All the London papers. so far as we have
seen cablegrams stating their position on
the subject, speak Of the repeal Of the
Sherman siver-law as wise measure.
They all laud Mr.. Cleveland's frmness.
But from Germany comes the most inter-
esting and important opinion-that of DIR.
MIGUEL. the Prussian Finance Minister,
who says:
"Tell your countrymen that. In my opin-
ion, from the American standpoint the
repeal of the silver-purchase act was an
absolute necessity. No matter whether
one Is bimetallst or monometallist, every
body ought to see that 1t Ia perfectly Inn
possible for the United States TO have
financial balance and continue the pur-
chase OF silver in the face Of a continual
fall in the price OF the metal The repeal
of the purchase act will facilitate the
regulation of an international currency.
If such a currency becomes practically
possible The best thing for definite set
tlement of the silver question will be the
naturalization of the silver mines and the
naturalization OF silver production"
The most important point in this opinion
is the suggestion of an international cur
rency. There is food for hope in the bare
suggestion.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES 2, 1893.


The city Democratic Committee is right

such fools 40 the harboring Of that eX-
recitation would indicate. but they do wish
10 make "A good showing here. and this
they trust To- do by polling every vote that
they have and by getting the support OF
several thousand cylorcd voters. That
they are conducting an energetic canvass
IS not TO b. denied. That they have made
some converts Is certain.
There Is an element in our community

When the polls have closed on the eve

Neither in Richmond nor in the state AT

1860 they did all the work OF both courts.
circuit judges not having been authorized
by law until that time. AS a distinguished
circuit Judge lately said, the circuit
judges merely help the district judges
in the circuit courts.
Far the most important courts In the
Fourth Circuit are the district courts
when dealing with admiralty cases. These
are the district court sitting In admiralty
at Baltimore. Judge Morris: the district
court sitting In admiralty at Norfolk. Judge
Hughes; that sitting in admiralty at New
berne. Judge Seymour; and that sitting In
admiralty at Charleston, Judge SimQnton.
The more important admiralty cases that
occur in the United States are tried In
the admiralty courts Of Baltimore. Nor
folk and Charleston. The most important
OF these are salvage cases, in which the
awards reach often many thousands OK
dollars. The dangers OF the Carolina
coasts on Hattoras. Lookout and Fear
give rise to these cases. and make the
three courts just named as important az
any admiralty courts In the world. The
admiralty Jurisdiction at Norfolk has al
ways produced there a very high grade
Of lawyers.
Upon the district courts in which the
district Judges sit exclusively are also de-
volved all original proceedings In BANK
riiptcy. Criminal cases are brought IN
the district or circuit courts, as the as
trict attorney may select. The district
courts OF West Virginia and OF the Yves
tern Districts Of North Carolina and South
Carolina have immense criminal dockets'
The chief function now OF the circuit
Judges Is performed as permanent mem
bcrs OF the new circuit courts OF appeals

the nine circuits OF the United states. In

Major Euker told a representative or
the Dispatch yesterday that he was now
out of the contest and that he would urge
his friends not to place his name In nomi-
nation for the position again.
There is a rumor among the cavalrymen
that well-known commissioned officer,
who stands high in military circles, will
shortly tender his resignation.

IT'S MERIT
THAT WINS.

1t would be entirely useless for some
OF these houses TO make all that noise
and fuss in order TO sell their goods il
TRUTH, VALUE, and FAIR PRICES
backed them up.
Meritorious Clothing, like anything
else OF merit, must and will win the APP
prevail and appreciation of prudent
and intelligent public. The clothes we
make and sell are better made, better
fitting, better wearing, and far more
economical than the ordinary stuff that
is generally sold.
The satisfaction which OUR
CLOTHING is known to give is steadily
and surely increasing its popularity.
Have you ever worn any Of our Suits
and Overcoats? Try some of this sea-
sons on and see how they look on you.
You will easily find that in style, tone,
finish, and fit they EQUAL CUSTOM
MADE that cost double in price.
The Suits and Overcoats we've been
selling at $40 have attracted hundreds OF
people that never had visited us before.
They recognized the values offered and
they bought. Never has any house any
where offered Suits and Overcoats Of
such worth and quality at $40. They
will hold their shape and retain their
color-depend on it.
Better Suits and Overcoats from sl2. so

Chicago is without Mayor. or acting
mayor. but the government goes along
just the same.
II has been no unusual thing for the
city to be without an executive head for
weeks at a time without any serious In
terruption to business. Mayor Harrison,
during one Of his earlier terms. went on
a trip TO Europe. Mayor Washburne and
the City Council two years ago, took
a two-months midsummer vacation,
making no provision for the transaction
OF business outside of the regular rou-
tine.
The City Council Is composed of thirty
eight Republicans and thirty Democrats.
The programme now is to elect Mayor
pro tenn. at the next regular meeting. The
charter provides that In the event of
vacancy in the office'of Mayor during the
first year Of term of the City Council II
shall order a special election TO NIL such
vacancy. giving thirty days notice

His Wheel Was Gone.

Mr.. John j. Derrick. we'll known MILL
tary man and bicyclist Of this city, went
into the State bank yesterday afternoon
about l O'Clock TO transact some business,
and when he alighted from his wheel he
left the machine standing in the street
Upon HIS return the bicycle was gone.
Mr.. Derrick cannot account for its dis
appearance unless 1t was taken by mis-
take. 4 short distance from the place
where the wheel was left there was an
other bicycle OF the same size and make.
and possibly the possessor OF this might
have absent-mndedly gotten on Mr. Der
ricks and ridden off. The owner OF the
missing wheel has notified the police Of his
loss and Sergeant Tomlinson is on the
lookout for the machine. The number OF
Mr. Derrick's bicycle is 6SOl. 1t is a CO.
lumbla wheel.

Populists are very active In this city, and

All this we must proceed to counteract.

Democrat work to do and soon We shall
have the camp-hres Of Democracy burning
brightly on every hilltop and our sentinels
posted on every foot OF dangerous ground.

Second. let us divide out our work and
give to each man his portion of 1t to do.
