What . High-Caste Hindoo Says Upon the

Mr.. d. y. Singh, high-caste Hindoo. fresh
from his studies at Cambridge England and

English to TEE STAR man yesterday at the ma
tional
The anti-silver movement had not surprised
HIM He did not believe that the closing of the
mints to free coinage of silver meant the de-
monetization of the white metal and the adop-
ton Of gold as the money of account In India
silver had been the measure of value ever since
Clio eould repember. When oxen were the
value standard of the Greeks in the Homeric
era, when Egypt, Chaldea and Assyris were,
per authority Of Lenormant, using their
money metals by weight and Pheidon Of Argos
was sticking seals on one side OF metal disks,
silver was the money current beyond the In
dus. Prices had declined in India, but then
II had been proved by Saurbeck. Soetbeer, Pal
grove and the London Economist that the ratio
of depreciation in commodity values had been
greater in the United States, England. France,
Germany, Belgium and Holland since
the adoption Of the gold standard
India had been the dumping ground for silver.
England had been fattening on this fiscal Jug
glery. She had aided in forcing the American
ratio of exchange down to sixteen to one and
lower, and with that silver purchased Indian
wheat and cotton on the basis of a ratio Of if
teen 10 one. She has thus been specializing in
silver and developing the resources Of her ORR
entail estate on the same deal This policy had
been pursued to such an extent that the pur-
chasing power Of the rupee had been knocked
down.
The same legislation which had driven COM
modify prices down in Caucasian lands by en-
HANGING the purchase force Of money by con-
traction had eventually knocked the pins from
under the rupee by debasing its force by ex-
pansion amounting to imitation. The present
arrangement was simply a device to give the
rupee q chance to catch its breath and come to

A Highly Successful Garden Party.

From behind the canvas which inclosed a
spacious yard at the corner Of 10th and
streets last night there came the sound Of merry
voices and enjoyable music. The small boy
who managed to get q glimpse behind the
scenes without having paid his admission
caught a glance Of fairyland. so prettily were
the grounds illuminated. When the young
ladies start out to accomplish something they
usually succeed, especially if by doing they
will aid themselves and please some of the boys.
Just such feeling as this was the occasion of
the garden party which the Ladies' Auxiliary
Society OF the Young Mems Hebrew Association
gave last night in the yard which is attached to
the association building. 1901 y street. About
the yard a number of tables were arranged,
upon which the young ladies' served the re-
freshments. and above which in numbers were
the Chinese lanterns that added brilliancy to
the scene. The house was also thrown open to
the public, and all those who went through it
expressed their admiration that the association
had made such an excellent beginning. The
rooms are large and comfortable and nicely
furnished. A library is being collected and on
the third floor are the rooms set apart for ath-
letic purposes.
The Washington Mandolin. Banjo and Guitar
Club played several selections in the open air,
and the Apollo Quartet added the endowment of
their voices to the evenings entertainment
The attendance was quite large, and in every
way the garden party was highly successful

hvered an address OF welcome. and Was followed

Piled in . short address, in which he stated that
he had inst mailed his final declination Of the
